I mixed it with the new shock force power and proceeded to circulate it through my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright blue water drop mixed with golden and silver energy appeared at the tip of my finger. The golden and silver energy was dense and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small water drop was more powerful than before. The shock force was more destructive than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Austin saw my power. His gaze locked onto the bright water drop, and his eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood’s inheritance force is more powerful than before,\" he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pointed my forefinger at the uneven black shield. The next second, I shot the bright water drop at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright blue streak of light swept across the place. In the blink of an eye, the bright blue light struck the uneven black shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening sound occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin withstood the force. He didn’t even move one inch from the spot, but the uneven black shield had a small crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue streak of light had left a terrible mark on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s face changed. He knew the grade of the Black Shield. Even a Gold Mark Warrior cannot break the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Zack Lockwood’s attack left a crack in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw the result, and my eyes flashed with satisfaction. The power of the new shock force was stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then my gaze fell on Master Austin. He seemed to be bewildered. I figured it out; it must have something to do with the uneven black shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, what’s the grade of the shield?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin collected his thoughts and said, \"It’s a Grade 12. Gold Mark Warriors can use this shield. Yet your attack left a crack in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he thought of something, and his expression became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin said, \"Zack, don’t show off your strength yet. It will alarm others. Just try to focus on getting a breakthrough in Thunder One Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I nodded to him. After some talk, we returned to the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started heading towards the essence chamber. I came across the warriors there, but I ignored them and went straight to the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of warriors was still discussing Zack Lockwood’s strength. They didn’t know when he had become a Silver Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the essence chamber, I entered. The door behind me closed automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flipped the switch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World energy started filling the room. I went to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground. world energy became denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes and started comprehending the dull golden sealing rune in my mind. The rune of the Sealing Force was denser than the previous day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to focus on comprehending it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Zack Lockwood’s breakthrough became official because most of the Thunderflame Faction warriors confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the warriors from the Golden Lightning Palace, but the warriors from other palaces confirmed the news as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This broke the rumors that Zack Lockwood didn’t achieve any breakthrough in the treacherous secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the warriors started feeling envious. However, since Zack Lockwood belonged to their faction, it also comforted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for the news to start appearing on online posts. In a matter of hours, it became a major topic of discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Hall\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford and other main elders were seated in their seats. Clifford had called for the meeting due to Dean Jerome’s call yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone was there, Old Man Clifford didn’t waste his time. He turned towards Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean Jerome called me yesterday. He wanted to know the current status of Zack Lockwood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he become a Silver Mark Warrior?\" Clifford asked Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elders Cathy, Leola, and Rosie were present as well. Their gazes turned towards Austin. Main Elder Ann, sitting in the adjacent seat, looked at him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright smile appeared on Austin’s face. The sadness caused by Neil Smith’s demise was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Zack Lockwood had a breakthrough. He is a Silver Mark Warrior now. He is just busy getting a breakthrough in the Thunder One Force inheritance method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone’s eyes flickered with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder he didn’t come to see me these days,\" Ann said from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been wondering what Zack Lockwood was up to. Now she understood; he didn’t have time to visit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was using the essence chamber,\" Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harumph. I have an essence chamber facility as well. Next time, I’ll make him practice in my Healing Palace,\" Ann said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe he feels uncomfortable. There are more female warriors in the Healing Palace,\" Cathy said jokingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Clifford smiled. Others were smiling as well because of the good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that kid benefited from the secret land. Maybe it was not enough for him to get a breakthrough there,\" Leola said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That must be it,\" Cathy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That day, he told us that he had faced many do-or-die situations. Maybe the crisis stimulated him, so he got a breakthrough here in a few days,\" Rosie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Main Elder Rosie is right. According to the statements of the warriors who went there, no one gained any significant benefits. Everyone faced life-or-death crises there,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he thought of something else. His expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he has to get a breakthrough in two inheritance methods. He got a breakthrough in only one so far. No wonder Zack Lockwood was staying silent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forgot about it,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin then said, \"Faction Leader, I heard the warriors from the core hall were keeping an eye on Zack Lockwood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he enters the core hall, he will be targeted by the people of the Klein Family. Who knows? They could order their own family warriors to kill Zack,\" Austin added in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.580Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff2434f192a0d626025088562accfafeab1e484faf610860fa56bfd6134878ea","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1335","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1333",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
