At the same time, Issac and the female warrior want to fight against Zack as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Zack is injured, they won’t get a chance today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Issac says, \"Ben, finish the duel. I want to fight him next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ben, do it. Don’t waste time. Our turn is next,\" the female warrior says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the old referee shakes his head. He doesn’t know what’s going on here. The duel now seems to favor the Blazing Fire Faction warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fighting platform, I’m badly hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there are no visible blood wounds all over my body, I have suffered burns and hidden injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thinks I’m losing the duel right now. They don’t know that I have a plan in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also notice that my opponent is no longer guarding himself. He’s being overconfident. I’m waiting for the right opportunity to deliver the final blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the duel can end in one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the viewing block, the main elders are seriously discussing the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elder Austin is deeply thinking about something. He doesn’t know why Zack is doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only is he thinking this, but Main Elder Ann is thinking the same. She doesn’t know what happened to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never seen him get beaten before. They know that Zack Lockwood has the power to defeat his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he is deliberately doing this to lower the enemy’s guard, or he plans to lose purposely to avoid using his water variant Inheritance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the two main elders are thinking this way, but Main Elders Leola, Cathy, and Rosie are thinking alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they know the truth about Zack Lockwood’s Inheritance, they remain silent. But the main elders of other factions are talking negatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They start saying that Zack Lockwood is going to lose, that he’s not as strong as he used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the main elders of the Thunderflame Faction get angry. But they can’t do anything here except trust Zack’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fighting platform, Ben gets more motivated and continues to attack Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, he hears the shouting of the two members again. They want to fight Zack as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wants to defeat Zack Lockwood miserably so that he can become popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I’m using the ancient healing technique to heal the hidden injuries inside my body. The opponent doesn’t know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incomplete ancient healing technique works amazingly. I use the healing force in my dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing force has almost healed all of my injuries. At this moment, I’m biding my time to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I see the opportunity has come. Ben puts away his broadsword and starts walking toward me in bold steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t think that even if he gets closer, Zack has the power to hit him hard. He believes he can put Zack down with brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, he arrives in front of me. He’s about to grab my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I circulate the blood force from my bones. When the blood force covers my right arm, I strike his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Fist punch shakes Ben’s internal organs. They’re injured the next second. The face of the middle-aged man, Ben changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face contorts in inhuman pain. His eyes are bloodshot. He’s terrified. His heart is filled with extreme fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That punch just now was no ordinary punch. Before he can think further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vomits a torrent of blood. At the same time, he feels dizzy, and his footsteps are unsteady, as if he could lose consciousness at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I stand up and look straight into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I slap his face hard. The middle-aged Ben’s mind goes blank, and he collapses directly onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face hits the ground first as he falls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the middle-aged Ben fainted on the ground, I began to act normal. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to circulate the healing force freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge exclamation sounded the next moment. The sound was so loud it was almost deafening. Almost half of the crowd among the audience stood up from their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visuals on the big screen were shocking. They saw that Zack was doing fine. He didn’t seem to be injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Blazing Fire Faction warrior Ben had collapsed onto the ground. This was a complete turn of events at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors in the stands couldn’t believe their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fighting platform, the old referee was stunned. Then he realized that Ben had fainted. Blood was flowing from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he was seriously injured. Everyone saw Zack land a punch at the last moment, but no one expected the punch to be filled with such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zack’s slap at the end caused the opponent to faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac and the female warrior were stunned. Just a while ago, they were excited and waiting for their turn to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing such a change, they were frozen on the spot. Issac’s eyes filled with fear as he saw Zack swinging his arms and legs as if he were doing a workout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female warrior was terrified at heart. She finally collected her thoughts and looked at the situation inside the fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the illusion was broken. She could tell that Zack had been acting deliberately to defeat Ben.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t know why he was using such tricks. He could have used his Inheritance power to fight fairly and squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of tactic was used by those who were weak. At this moment, Issac realized it as well. Zack had been fooling everyone so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old referee removed the barrier and entered the fighting platform. He rushed to Ben’s side and checked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face changed again. He looked at the kid, Zack, in disbelief. He found out that Ben’s internal organs were badly hurt. He might die if not treated immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old referee then asked me to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked up to him. He grabbed my hand and raised it for everyone to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood is the winner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said. His voice sounded loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","a01d579388fe9ae3dd2a4a3c6746200d4d59059a7784870909940a85adc0ecd7","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1066","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1240",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
