Suddenly, my digital device buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I picked up the device and saw a message notification. I opened the message and read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam appeared in my eyes. My arrival was known to Ronnie Seth as well. He and the people in the virtual training lab wanted to see me. I sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I had wanted to use the lab earlier, but my strength would be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I doubt they can keep a secret. If even one member of the staff were to leak the news, I could face attacks from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I hadn’t gone there and had avoided them, including Ronnie Seth. Now that I have received the message, it would be rude not to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up from the sofa. I typed a response and sent it to Ronnie Seth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, I left the place. When I reached the exit, my gaze fell on the crowd. They knew I was back. Now, they all wanted to see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened the gate and stepped outside. My eyes were bright and clear, capturing every detail. Most of them weren’t here just to see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I collected my thoughts and prepared to leave. I took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood, are you going to challenge Silver Mark Warriors from other factions?\" a middle-aged man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge exclamation followed. The crowd was shocked to hear that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy coldness flashed in my eyes. If I respond, they will only ask more questions. If I reject the idea, they will damage my reputation. It’s best not to say anything right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked away. The crowd parted slightly to let me through, but the chatter behind me didn’t stop. Some of them started following me. It annoyed me, so I increased my pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, I reached the entrance and walked out. I made my way toward the virtual training lab. On the way, I encountered other warriors, but I moved out of sight before they could spot me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long to reach the lab. Once there, I used my perception to sweep the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one had followed me, I sighed in relief. If I had walked out boldly, those people would have followed me all the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a deep breath before stepping inside. I remembered the room, so I walked straight to it and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I stepped inside, my gaze fell on the people within. They were all familiar faces: Old Man Daniel and the staff. Ronnie Seth was there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation occurred. The staff were seeing Zack Lockwood for the first time in a long while. They were almost unable to recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel looked at Zack. The dense Silver Mark Aura, with a tinge of faint gold power, could be seen behind Zack. The old man was shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the rumors of Zack Lockwood becoming a Silver Mark Warrior, but those tiny gold points said otherwise. It showed that Zack was close to becoming a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth was there, too. Facing him, he felt an unknown pressure. Unlike Old Man Daniel, he couldn’t see the specific differences in the auras; he could only tell that Zack was much stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it possible?\" Ronnie uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had broken through not long after I became a Silver Mark Warrior. Yet, he felt a sense of crisis, as if the person walking toward him was a Gold Mark Warrior rather than a Silver Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff collected their thoughts. They looked at Zack Lockwood’s new appearance, trying to commit it to memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Man Daniel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ronnie Seth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you guys doing?\" After speaking, my eyes drifted to the staff behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel and Ronnie Seth recovered their wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid, what happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a lot stronger than before,\" Old Man Daniel said straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zack, you are totally unrecognizable, including your power,\" Ronnie Seth said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had received an Ancient Inheritance as well. Yet, facing me, he felt I was overwhelmingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just crazy practice. You will achieve the same,\" I said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ronnie Seth was stunned. Then he realized Zack might be telling the truth because he, too, noticed the change in Zack’s physical appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel listened from the side, feeling incredible. A second later, excitement surged in his heart. He wanted to test Zack’s new strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure Zack could set a new record for Silver Mark strength as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you would say this,\" I said to the old man. I shook my head and added, \"But I’m not interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Old Man Daniel felt disappointed. He could tell Zack had come here after a long time; if he got Zack into trouble, it wouldn’t be good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zack, I want to fight you,\" Ronnie Seth said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze narrowed. I saw that Ronnie Seth was serious. I recalled that his Black Lightning inheritance was formidable. It was just that I had found multiple incredible opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need for an avatar fight. You can use your moves against me right here,\" I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Ronnie was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel and the staff were also surprised. They knew Zack was stronger, he had proven it before but Ronnie Seth was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believed Zack could defeat him, but they didn’t think the difference was that vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth grew serious. He took Zack’s words to heart, knowing he wouldn’t joke about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized Zack’s strength must be abnormally high if he thought he could withstand his Black Lightning in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" Ronnie Seth asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can try. I’m confident,\" I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Daniel signals the staff. They began to remove the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-05T15:57:26.876Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b30ab2d3a502312935c2aede8433f70cd63104e2dac6cf050ae0132a2fa9b91","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1463","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1462",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
