Before I could move away from the spot, the chain reached me. I used my right hand to block at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame chain struck my hand. The point of contact was successfully established for his element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion occurred the next moment. The sudden explosion pushed my body back with a huge impact force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body almost reached the edge of the platform before I stabilized myself. This all happened within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke had covered the fighting platform. No one could see clearly. At the same time, I felt severe pain coming from my right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My right hand was already hurt to begin with. When I turned my gaze towards my right hand, I saw the burn marks were severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My right hand was almost cooked. The skin was charred. A burnt smell was coming from the flesh. Blood was dripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a scene to look at. I didn’t have time to use the blood force. Otherwise, I would have reduced the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately started to circulate the healing force to stop the bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…He…Ha….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac let out a laugh as the smoke slowly receded. He saw everything. His flame metal chain had made successful contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack had no answer for that. He had simply tried to block it. But the explosion had further injured his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that Zack was at the edge of the platform, checking his right hand. He was not in a condition to use his right hand anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had forced his right hand, then it would have further worsened the condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac’s eyes turned cold. He was going to use this opportunity to defeat the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire sparks appeared beneath his feet. The explosion pushed his body forward like a projectile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he reached Zack. Once again, he swung his metal chain, covered with flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack was trapped. It wouldn’t have been easy to leave the edge of the platform without getting hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I saw that the opponent had come. I was using perception to guess the trajectory of the metal chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I found it hard. It was the first time I had come across such a difficult challenge. That too, in the middle of a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had known, I would have trained using the metal chain earlier. Before I could think further, I saw that the metal chain was coming at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately started sidestepping sideways to avoid the contact. At the same time, I expected the rebound of the metal chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issac grinned. Just as the chain missed the target, he swung the flame metal chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal chain rebounded. It once again moved towards the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I started circulating the blood force. The blood force reached both arms in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it reached my right hand, I immediately felt the terrifying pain. The wounds started to reopen. It immediately caused bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood force was violent energy. I had almost forgotten about it. It was not the time to think over this. When the flame chain reached my face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved my left hand to block it. The left hand was covered with blood force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame metal chain came in contact with the left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point of contact was established. A deafening explosion occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood force withstood most of the impact. Yet the impact pushed my body with force again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke immediately covered the fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retreating several steps, I looked at my left hand again. My left hand was reddened. It was the result of burn marks. But it was not severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood force had taken most of the impact. Then I looked at my right hand. It was covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closed wounds had opened because of the blood force. Looking at my right hand, I felt bad. I couldn’t use my right hand in the duel anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started using the healing force to close the wounds again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the crowd were on their feet, starting to cheer out loud. For the first time, they saw Zack Lockwood being severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had done this before. So far, Zack Lockwood had always been dominating the duels, whether it was the outer hall or inner hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, someone had injured him this badly. That too, from the Blazing Fire Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the previous two Blazing Fire Faction warriors had failed, the last warrior, Issac, was able to turn the events around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blazing Fire Faction warriors were celebrating the most. They could see bright chances ahead for Issac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Issac continued with the attack, then he could really defeat Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the faces of the Thunderflame Faction members were down. They couldn’t bear to watch the embarrassing condition of Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack, who had always been dominating, was suffering right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members didn’t know what to say. As usual, they started hearing slander from other faction warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack didn’t do anything soon, then the outcome would be grim for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the fighting platform:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wasn’t he using the inheritance force?” The Purple Mark Guard finally broke his silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he couldn’t bear to watch the miserable condition of that kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The kid’s right hand was injured. Soon, his left hand would be injured if he continued to block the attack,” the Purple Mark Guard added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he shot a sidelong glance at Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome had been silent for some time. He hadn’t made any comments so far. He continued to watch the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewing Block 1:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leaders were all taken aback by such a turnaround. They knew Issac was strong. His flame element was different from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they didn’t expect him to injure Zack in the initial stages of the duel. The Elemental Factions’ Faction Leaders were celebrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except Elmer, the Faction Leader of the Blazing Fire Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, Elmer was not looking at Issac. Instead, he was observing Zack Lockwood more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confused why the kid was not using the inheritance force even at this stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the right time to use the inheritance force. Otherwise, he could lose the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Faction Leader Clifford was quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not listening to the surrounding noise. Instead, he was looking at the fighting platform in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled Zack Lockwood’s reaction yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid was not interested in winning the duel at all,” he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-05T15:57:18.986Z",1,"novelbin.me","a9c50fdaf75a722b801fb295a04370c3c89c24bff13f0fc88326eac914df3f3e","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1254","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1252",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
