I opened the notification to read it. The next second, my eyes flash with a glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notification was about me. It appears some warriors can’t wait to bother me. The dean has put out a condition for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only the top three in each faction were allowed to challenge me. It’s a good condition,\" I said to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before figuring me out, they must fight internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth curves into an arc. Then I put the device back before resuming the training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is shock and confusion among the warriors. They didn’t expect such a notification to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the elemental warriors who were waiting right now? They were the old seniors waiting for Zack Lockwood to come out of his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this notification has spoiled their plan. While some are disappointed. Others were scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the notification comes from the management. Only the Dean can order them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This notification once again confirms the rumours of Dean Jerome’s support for Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even their own faction leaders are weak against the Dean. The Dean is a Red Mark Warrior. No one can fight against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People have started to feel envious. If others got such support, they would have had quite a ruckus inside the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zack Lockwood was minding his own business. They were the ones who were bothering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Zack Lockwood’s arrogant attitude, they wouldn’t have disturbed him. It’s just that Zack Lockwood had humiliated other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warriors can gain favors and rewards from elders by defeating Zack Lockwood. It’s just now that one was able to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six elemental warriors stood up and decided to go back to their own Factions. Since the notification has come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t break the rules. They were afraid of the Dean as well. They felt that Zack Lockwood was lucky enough to escape from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it won’t be a matter of time before the top three are confirmed. The Elemental Faction Warriors were keen to find out among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are going to request their main elders to conduct a duel event inside their own Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When evening came, I exited the training room. I saw the warriors were minding their own business outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was waiting outside for me. My mouth curves into an arc. Then I started walking back towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have spent most of the time on improving the Sword Divide skill. I believe in a few days I can make the move faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will help launch a surprise attack against the foreign creatures. The other Warriors saw Zack Lockwood leaving the training facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt angry. But they can do nothing about it. They can only watch his back with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I think the top three will be decided in a couple of days.,\" A Warrior from the medium-sized Faction said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Elemental Faction Warriors nodded and returned to their training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I exited the inner hall and started going back to the Thunderflame Faction. While walking, I saw other warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reacted upon seeing me. I immediately thought of the notification. The Dean’s notification has deterred everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Faction Leaders won’t be able to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I returned to the Thunderflame Faction. Then I went back to my room. I locked the door and went to take a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader Clifford and the main leaders knew Zack Lockwood would return. But they didn’t disturb him. Before they could do anything to support Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dean has taken action already. At the same time, the Main Elder Austin was yet to return. But he had learned that his disciple Zack had returned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he is thinking about returning soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Faction Leaders have discussed together. They too knew what happened in that camp 424.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their warriors failed to defeat Zack Lockwood. Instead, they were embarrassed in return. Because of it, the old warriors wanted to teach a lesson to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Dean’s announcement, they would have already challenged Zack Lockwood for a fight. Now they can’t do anything about the notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Dean’s decision. So they can only select the top three warriors from each Faction to challenge Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mark warriors have requested the same thing as well. Earlier, they have asked them to conduct small duel competitions inside their factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dew Water Faction’s Faction Leader, Monica, was half-hearted. She knew the real details of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the sake of other warriors in her faction. She has decided to cooperate with other faction leaders. So everyone agreed to conduct a small competition inside the faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news about this spreads across the campus. The bloodline warriors started to make the same request to their faction leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Bloodline faction doesn’t have enmity with the Thunderflame Faction. There is no need to offend them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the bloodline warriors were keen to compete with others. How can they let the Elemental Warriors take the limelight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already surprising that the Dark Variant Faction hadn’t made any moves so far. Even their warriors were silent, not troubling Zack Lockwood anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Elemental Factions wanted to gain fame. So the Bloodline Warriors were requesting them to conduct the small tournament as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader of the Monster Bloodline Faction has agreed to conduct the small competition. But Bethany didn’t know why her friend was not doing the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knows that the Human Bloodline Faction was as competitive as they were. So Bethany asked her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Francesca hadn’t made the decision. She has decided to wait. She knows the real strength of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thinks Elemental Warriors would be defeated. She doesn’t want her faction warriors to get embarrassed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she told Bethany to wait as well.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","328ec69fc1c6cdfc522804d4f973673e39d745983b5b2b4d55fb56c9c8b67327","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1227","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1225",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
