He knew about Zack Lockwood’s return. So he had decided to return as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he goes to the Thunderflame Faction and then returns to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, he was able to learn about the announcement made by Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect the Dean to make such an announcement for Zack Lockwood. He was worried about Zack Lockwood before coming here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that Factions would make their warriors challenge Zack Lockwood. He guesses that it would have happened if not for Dean’s announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, everyone wakes up and starts their routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I woke up quite late. After getting out of bed, I started doing the morning routine. Then I spent an hour before completing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the bath, I changed into fresh clothes. Then I sat on the sofa and took out the device to check the online news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the news feed appeared. I saw many online posts. It’s all about the small competition. Seeing that my mouth curves into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I realised that Factions have decided to conduct a small competition. I can see that many Warriors were looking forward to fighting against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I began to browse the articles. Then I opened the article page, which was viewed by many people. I saw it was about the elemental faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all the Elemental factions have decided to conduct a small competition. My heart filled with curiosity as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know who among the Black Mark Warriors was strongest. I have eliminated the humanoid foreign creatures. I still have their cores with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I stopped thinking about the small competition. My real threats are the foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I stopped reading the news and put the device back in the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, I left the residence and started going towards the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know whether Master Austin has returned or not. I want to make a request to buy a new sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, I want to select another suitable weapon. In this way, I can avoid coming into contact with the foreign creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the foreign creatures have a weird ability, who knows their body could carry poison as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before something like that happens, I felt it necessary to make preparations. While walking, I came across people like every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing me, they nodded to me. I nodded to them in response. The Thunderflame Faction Warriors were confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know whether it has anything to do with me. Soon, I reached the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, I saw the members. They informed me that the Master had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed inwardly. I thanked the members before starting to go towards the master’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there. I found the door was open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I opened the door to enter inside. I saw Master Austin sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, you are here!\" Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I smiled at the master. Then I greeted him before sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard about the Dean notification,\" Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect him to protect you this way. No one would try to bully you with numbers,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I smiled inwardly. I can take down the humanoid foreign creatures. So I’m not worried about them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I remembered that I needed a new weapon for practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I need a new weapon. My black sword was not strong enough to handle the force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I possibly can, I would like to select one more weapon as well,\" I said to the Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin, who was speaking with concerns, was stunned. He didn’t expect Zack to ask him this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Zack would be worried. So he had tried to ease his tension. But he realises now that Zack was not worried at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His concerns were something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin then asked, \"What type of weapons do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I replied, \"A long sword and a staff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A staff,\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know any staff techniques?\" Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I planned to learn it. I can use it in case of an emergency,\" I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin understood. He thought Zack must have faced some kind of difficulties while fighting against the foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I have a few weapons with me. I bought a few of them. Some of them I have gotten as trophies,\" After saying that, he stood up from the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked me to follow him. Seeing that I followed him to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does he have a storage room inside his bedroom?\" I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I went inside his room. I saw him opening a secret door behind the bed. The door opens, and a staircase appears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin entered and started going downstairs. Seeing that I followed him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of amazement flashed in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a basement room. But it has a minimalistic setup. I saw Master Austin walking up to the rectangular box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears to be a long table. Then he pressed a button. The top cover is starting to peel automatically. It’s a slide-type cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you standing there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come and take a look at the weapons,\" Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I recovered my thoughts and went to the box. Then I saw weapons placed inside the glass box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze wanders around different types of weapons before falling on a long black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the weapon, I was deeply impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin notices his disciple’s gaze. He then follows his gaze to notice the Black long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered. It’s one of his trophies. He got it by killing one of his enemies. The enemy was at the level Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you like this weapon?\" Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin smiled and said, \"I got it after killing my enemy. Ever since then, I haven’t taken it out. If you like, you can take it. But it comes with risks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the enemy’s family still alive?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","030299a7099d30f48765fc1f711d13e54ace6adcf69863e3644323059dcef040","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1059","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1226",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
