The first thing I did was go to bed to lie down. I’m completely exhausted. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford ordered the other main elders to come to the meeting hall. They had something important to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had arrived at the meeting. Faction Leader Clifford sat in the main seat. Main Elders Austin and Ann were seated on the left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elders Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were seated on the right side. Everyone wore a solemn expression on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Zack had done shocked everyone to the core. For some time, they all thought Zack was going to lose the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford’s gaze fell on everyone. He could see that everyone was worried. He let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"I don’t know what’s going on inside Zack’s mind. He gave the illusion that he was going to lose the duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then he used his punch to defeat the opponent at the last moment. But this trick won’t work against other warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he plans to hide his Inheritance power tomorrow, it will be difficult for him to win the duel,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main elders heard him. They shared the same thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford turned toward Austin and asked, \"Did you find any Inheritance for Zack’s Purple Lightning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone was surprised. Then they realized what this meeting was all about. Some time ago, they had decided to find an Inheritance for Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that the Dew Water Faction wouldn’t trouble them and Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s expression was serious. He replied, \"No, I haven’t found a Purple Lightning Inheritance so far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, old man Clifford was disappointed. But he knew it wasn’t easy to find such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we should be ready to confront the Dew Water Faction. The other elemental factions might join them as well,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Faction Leader, I don’t think Dean Jerome would agree to their wishes,\" Main Elder Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. But anything can happen in the future,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked each of them to pay attention to any news about inheritances. They couldn’t afford any delay in this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until then, they could only pin their hopes on Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting ended. Main Elder Austin didn’t want to disturb Zack, so he didn’t summon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Main Elder Ann wanted to speak to Zack, but knowing his condition, she remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she had trust in her healing technique. It could heal any serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the main elders couldn’t help directly, but they could use their connections to search for inheritances everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blazing Fire Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A similar meeting was taking place inside the Blazing Fire Faction. Faction Leader Elmer looked at the main elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was discussing the result of today’s duel. One of the top three warriors, Ben, was admitted to the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Issac and the female warrior were inside the meeting hall. They were listening to the main elders but didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were extremely angry. They knew that Zack Lockwood had successfully fooled everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ben hadn’t let his guard down, he wouldn’t have been caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Elmer suddenly shifted his gaze toward the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"Who is going to fight tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Issac and the female warrior looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac said, \"Faction Leader, I’m going to fight next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the main elders supported him. They wanted Issac to defeat Zack tomorrow. But Faction Leader Elmer had a different idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"No. Bella is going to fight tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female warrior’s name was Bella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac was surprised. He wanted to fight Zack tomorrow, but the Faction Leader had other plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella got excited. She immediately nodded and said, \"Faction Leader, I will fight against Zack. I will defeat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elmer said, \"Good, but don’t underestimate him. When you face him tomorrow, don’t hold back. Use your inheritance power fully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t give him a chance. If you make any mistake, he will use it against you,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Bella nodded. Issac also accepted the decision. He could still fight Zack the day after tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Francesca started to worry about Zack. But the main elders misunderstood, thinking she was worried about the bloodline warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Faction Leader, don’t worry. Our warriors are stronger than the Blazing Fire Faction warriors. They can easily defeat Zack Lockwood,\" one of the main elders said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he used a desperate move to win in the end. His real strength will be exposed tomorrow,\" a female main elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Francesca heard everyone’s words. She simply nodded at them, but they didn’t know she was thinking about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Vince was in his room. No meeting was taking place here because he hadn’t conducted the small competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that Zack would lose anyway. But to his surprise, the kid wasn’t using his inheritance power at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Zack had an Ancient Inheritance, confirmed by Dean Jerome. But he didn’t know why the kid wasn’t using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the viewing block, when someone asked Clifford, he didn’t reply and dodged the question. Vince was sure something was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would become clear tomorrow, so he decided to wait until then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dew Water Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Monica was angry. The main elders and warriors didn’t know why she was angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite numerous requests, she refused to speak about it. Instead, she asked her warriors to train hard and gave them orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their job was to force Zack to use his inheritance power. Their goal was not to win the duel. Hearing that, the main elders and warriors were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t explain. She told them to follow her orders, and everything would become clear to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer hall warriors were celebrating Zack Lockwood’s win. Only the inner hall felt the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight out of the top ten factions had decided to go against Zack Lockwood, leaving only the Thunderflame and Dark Variant Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack came from the Thunderflame Faction, which left the Dark Variant Faction. But their warriors were not participating in the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zack had few supporters inside the Inner Hall, for example, Ronnie Seth in the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie had watched the duel. He was dumbfounded by the unexpected result. Zack had won, but he won in an unconventional way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t understand Zack’s actions. He went to the virtual training lab to discuss with Old Man Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Old Man Daniel was confused himself. He couldn’t understand what was going on either. But one thing he was sure of:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had figured out that Zack didn’t want to use his inheritance power. Everyone knew that Zack had an Ancient Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the question remained: why wasn’t he using it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel said, \"Nobody can guess what’s going on inside his mind. Don’t think too much about it. I still think that kid is hiding it. He is strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ronnie Seth agreed. He thought that tomorrow everything would become clear. He then returned to his place.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","86064ef82c7169316dc02f569310000c554daac3aaa6b36930df18b4b04ee0fc","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1244","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1242",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
