Determined, he decides to attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he charges toward Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I stand opposite the middle-aged man. Seeing him charge at me again, I decided to use my fist attack once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac and the female warrior stand outside the fighting platform, observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Ben using the fist attack again, they exchange glances, realizing that the middle-aged man is not convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Ben appears in front of me. I raise my fist to punch again, and our fists collide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening noise erupts. This time, I push my fist forward, forcing Ben to stumble back a couple of steps. His face darkens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of retreating to his previous position, he uses his fire element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, red blazing fire envelops both of his palms. Anger surges within him. Looking at the fire covering his arms, he grins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he glares at Zack Lockwood and moves to strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flicker. I sense a threat from that fire element, it’s no ordinary fire; it’s an Ancient Fire Elemental Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, I slightly circulate the blood force from my bones. The blood force covers both of my arms in an instant, invisible to others unless I deliberately reveal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben appears in front of me again. Using my perception ability, his body movements become slow and clear in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, our fists collide once more, my blood force meeting his fire force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another deafening noise resounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben lets out a muffled grunt, pain coursing through him. The fire on his right arm extinguishes, and the blood force injures his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, his left arm remains covered in fire. Despite the pain, he swings his left fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my opponent use his left arm, I immediately counter with my left fist. Our fists collide again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous noise erupts. The blood force instantly extinguishes the fire on his left arm and injures it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben screams in pain. Both of his arms are now injured, the fire completely extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fear, he attempts to retreat the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes gleam with a twinkle. Seizing the opportunity, I charge forward to strike his back. My punch lands squarely, blasting Ben away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flies forward, crashing face-first into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud exclamation erupts from the audience. Everyone watches the scene in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t believe that the Blazing Fire Faction was still attacked by Zack Lockwood, despite using the fire elemental force. It all happened within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac and the female warrior are dumbfounded. They don’t understand how it happened. They know Ben’s Inheritance force is strong, yet he was defeated with brute force so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only are they shocked, but the Blazing Fire Faction warriors are stunned as well. They can’t believe Ben was overpowered like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only saw Ben using his elemental force, while Zack Lockwood didn’t rely on his Inheritance force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the viewing block, the main elders observe the scene. Austin isn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows Zack Lockwood’s physique is exceptionally strong due to the blood method, making it difficult for opponents to defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other main elders watch closely. Main Elder Ann sighs in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had assumed the Ancient Inheritance Power would be similar across warriors, but Zack Lockwood is fighting without using his Inheritance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is his physique so strong?\" a Main Elder from the Elemental Faction asks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one answers, as they don’t know either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Main Elders from the Thunderflame Faction could provide insight, but they remain silent, including Main Elder Leola, Cathy, and Rosie. Everyone watches the duel without comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the main elders of the Blazing Fire Faction are confused. They can’t comprehend how Zack Lockwood can fight without using his Inheritance force and still harm his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s shocking and inexplicable. Some begin to suspect that Zack Lockwood’s Inheritance is no ordinary Ancient Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the fighting platform, the middle-aged man, Ben, stands up. He returns to his position and faces Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear flashes in his eyes. He didn’t expect Zack Lockwood’s brute strength to be so formidable. He realizes defeating Zack will be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac and the female warrior see Ben rise to his feet and breathe a sigh of relief. But they know the real fight is just beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Referee Elder closely monitors the fighting platform, aware that the duel could turn deadly at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I’m observing Ben, curious about his next move. The commotion has quieted down, but the real show has yet to begin. Ben draws his weapon, a broadsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he executes an attack technique. The fire elemental force envelops the sword’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swings the sword, unleashing a powerful fire arc toward me. It happens in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t move now, the flame slash could seriously injure me. I immediately sidestep, narrowly escaping the attack’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame slash strikes the empty ground, creating a deafening noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a shockwave spreads across the platform. The explosion causes small flame sparks to scatter everywhere. Even these tiny sparks could harm a warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, I sidestep here and there to avoid the flame sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing on the ground, the small sparks create a sizzling, burning noise. All this happens within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the middle-aged man, Ben, realizes that one flame slash wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charges forward, slashing once or twice at Zack Lockwood. His broadsword’s blade still blazes with fire, raising the temperature on the fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac and the female warrior smile. They know the real fight has begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Warriors cheer from the audience. Especially the Warriors of the Blazing Fire Faction cheering a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4041b2da99f395481d45a3dfa0583fd3963435636ba3157189221c73bb3394c","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1239","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1064",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
