Ben is standing opposite me. The elder has asked whether both of us agree to the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both nodded our heads. But he is waiting for something. A look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be waiting to get permission from the higher ups. The Blazing Fire Faction Warriors saw this as well. But no one raised the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac and the female warrior were not raising any questions. The middle aged man, Ben standing opposite me, was silent as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the whole duel arena was noisy. The inner hall elders allowed the Outer Hall Warriors to fill the empty seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole arena looked packed right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mid air, Dean Jerome saw that Elder was waiting for the order. He then gave the order to the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard thinks that Elder must have realised that everyone was paying attention to the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the duel platform, the Elder received the order directly from the Dean. He was dumbfounded. He had thought someone from the Inner Hall would give him the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise. Dean Jerome has directly ordered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder then looks at both the participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,”You guys can start the duel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time his voice has reached everyone’s ears. The duel arena has become quiet for a second. But they broke out into cheers the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac and the female warrior smiled in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the duel platform, the middle aged man Ben grinned before darting out from his spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement creates a booming sound. He covers half of the platform in the blink of an eye. His fist is aiming at the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that opponent us charging forward without using his element. I realised he wants to test my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I punched forward to block his attack. Both of our fists come in contact with each other in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shock force bursts forth and spreads across the fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle aged man Ben’s face changes. His right arm was hurt. The impact force is hurting him right now. He took two steps backward with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, I stood rooted on the same spot and looked at him. But my heart was in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary warrior, the brute force would have broken his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I know that the opponent in front of me has Ancient Inheritance as well. So his physique is naturally strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben calmed his heart and retreated to his previous position. Seeing that I did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An exclamation sounded among the audience. Everyone knows that the first confrontation was a test of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everyone has witnessed that the Blazing Fire Faction Warrior Ben lost in that first confrontation. He appears to be weaker than Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused many of the supporters of the Blazing Fire Faction to change their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac and the female warrior standing outside the fighting platform felt ashamed. Before coming here, the trio were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t underestimate Zack Lockwood. They knew that Zack Lockwood’s reputation wasn’t false. So the trio had decided to use their full strength when it comes to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they understood that Ben was being overpowered. It shows that Zack Lockwood is stronger than Ben. It made Issac and the female warrior serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t afford to look down on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome and the Purple Mark Guard were standing in the mid air. They are watching the situation below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first confrontation it was clear that Zack Lockwood had the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Purple Mark Guard still doesn’t know whether Zack Lockwood would be able to win without using the Inheritance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome’s eyes flickered. He is silently accessing the strength of Zack Lockwood. He knows that Ancient Inheritances are powerful. But there are gaps between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zack Lockwood has not one but two Ancient Inheritances. He thinks that’s why the kid’s physique is so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the viewing block, the faction leaders were surprised by the test of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha….Ha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faction Leader Elmer, the outcome is clear now,” Old man Clifford said with a joyful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Elmer still smiles. From the beginning he has been maintaining a neutral attitude. He knows that it’s not easy to defeat Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,”The duel is not over yet. The clash of inheritance power still remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford becomes silent. He glares at him before turning towards the fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Bloodline Faction Leader Francesca’s eyes flickered. She is having the same idea as Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thinks Zack Lockwood’s two Ancient Inheritances have made his physique strong. There is a possibility of him winning without using the inheritance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, it won’t be easy to defeat that kid. The rumours regarding his strength are not falsehood,” Bethany said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice reached other faction leaders. Including the ears of the Dew Water Faction Leader. Her eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never expected the Water Variant Ancient Inheritance of Zack Lockwood would be this strong. It has made his Physique stronger than the Blazing Fire Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long lost fire lit in her heart again. She wanted Zack Lockwood to be in her faction. Then her water faction might become top amongst the elemental faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even there is a chance of ranking among the top 3 in the whole Star University. Her hope was not without a chance. Zack Lockwood does have Water Variant Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zack Lockwood should be in her faction. She knows that it’s impossible for the Dean to change his opinion. Unless someone orders him to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knows that there are powers behind the Star University who could do that. She can only wait for that time to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She will definitely rope Zack Lockwood into her Water Faction when it happens. After gaining some clarity, she calmed her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Vince was silent. Unlike others he is not making any comments. He simply observes to collect details on Zack Lockwood’s Ancient Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","1bc31f87b0582e590b901a45b65ed54a8b52d936a10f66b5880642701d93873d","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1064","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1063",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
