The organisations outside Star University were eager to find out about the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Universities were already paying attention to the competition. After knowing the results of the second duel, they were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know how Zack was able to win without using the inheritance force. They couldn’t help but wonder whether the opponents were weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were all selected after fierce internal competition. Unfortunately, they couldn’t watch the footage. Star University doesn’t allow internal footage to circulate outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only hearing from the witnesses. If what was being told was true, then they had to reassess the strength of the young warrior named Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Universities, Dark Shadow University was the rival of Star University. They didn’t want any strong warriors in Star University to grow in numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if it happened, then the voice of Star University would be strong among the forces. Not only that, Dark Shadow University had bad relations with Zack Lockwood as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the news about Zack was important to them. They had tried to kill Zack some time ago. But they had failed to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, hearing that Zack had won the duel, they decided to raise the threat level of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other Universities that wanted to conduct a similar type of competition. If they did, then they would be able to find out the strongest warriors among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderflame Faction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Black Mark Warriors arrived at the main hall. They were surprised by this summon because they saw other old Black Mark Warriors there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all looking at each other’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford and the main elders were seated in the place. Sixteen Black Mark Warriors had appeared here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone know about Issac from the Blazing Fire Faction?\" Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, their eyes flickered with understanding. They understood what this was about. They knew Zack’s next opponent was Issac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that Issac had always been low-key. They didn’t expect him to become one of the top three in the Blazing Fire Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then one of them stepped forward and started speaking about Issac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone began to listen. When he finished saying everything he knew, the other warriors stepped forward one by one to give their answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them belonged to the same batch as Issac, yet Issac was able to stand out at this age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac had shown the potential of becoming a Silver Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 30 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford told them to leave. Then the old warriors left the meeting hall. The faces of the main elders were solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Issac was a strong warrior. He was not like Ben and Bella. Even without any techniques, his element could hurt Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew what Zack’s plan was going to be in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I summon him here?\" Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford hesitated. He didn’t want to disturb Zack. But Zack’s next opponent was strong. It would be better if they knew what Zack was going to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call him,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering over the online posts, suddenly, I received a call from Master Austin. Seeing that, I sat up and attended his call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I heard that everyone wanted to see me. They were in the meeting hall. Hearing that, I was surprised, because I thought no one was going to disturb me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had asked me to come. I told the Master that I would be there in a few minutes. I ended the call before getting out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up and change clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked out of the residence and headed straight towards the meeting hall. Soon, I reached the meeting hall and walked into the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw the Faction Leader, Masters, and the Main Elders. I greeted them one by one. I could tell that everyone’s face was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, what are your plans for the next duel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have defeated Ben and Bella. But defeating Issac won’t be easy next,\" Clifford said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, a look of understanding dawned on me. No wonder they had asked me about the next duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I said, \"I have searched online posts about him. He uses a flame which has explosive attributes. I have faced this type of warrior before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be a difficult duel. But I believe I can win,\" I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford and the main elders were taken aback. They had collected Issac’s information from the old warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t expect Zack to collect information online. Then they understood that Zack was not wasting time. He was serious about the duel as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clifford eased his eyebrows. He had been worried that Zack wouldn’t take the third duel seriously, but today he knew Zack would, because of this opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the next duel wouldn’t be the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"So what are you going to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you going to use your inheritance force?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I didn’t know what to say. Main Elder Austin and the others saw my reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From my silence, they could understand that I still had the idea of not using the inheritance force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford saw through my thoughts as well. His eyes flashed with struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin thought of something and said, \"It’s going to be the last duel against the Blazing Fire Faction. But there are other Elemental Factions as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will have to use inheritance forces sooner or later. So I think we should be preparing for the worst case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone quieted down. My expression grew solemn as well. I never expected everyone to feel this kind of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Dean Jerome’s order, I would have told them the truth. If they learned that my water element was not related to any inheritance but to bloodline, then they would be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Francesca knew the truth as well. I belonged to her bloodline family. I didn’t think she would mind whether I was a warrior of the Thunderflame Faction or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t we send Zack to the warrior camp again?\" Main Elder Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Clifford shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"The Dean has given his word. The competition will continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he turned towards Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to put any pressure on you. But Austin was right. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want, you can use your water variant force to win the duel. There is no need for you to go to extreme lengths to win,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I was shocked and replied, \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","86a6c27fbf7ba2e0183c2cb0e1b5dbf8729be40b61a0b9a27759414e5f2fe5e7","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1069","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1248",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
