I lost count of the days. Instead, I focused on improving myself in all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My attacks and defensive techniques are improving at a faster rate. The skills are at intermediate and proficient levels, but my goal is to become a specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then can I perform well and cause lethal damage to the enemies. In the remaining time, I spent hours understanding the inheritance methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main goal is to become a Gold Mark Warrior. After becoming a Gold Mark Warrior, I can face the threats outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome set this condition for me. I’m sure if I don’t reach the target, then he will put me inside another secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leaders and the Main Elders are trying to find news about Zack Lockwood, except for the Thunderflame Faction and Faction Leader Francesca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew where Zack Lockwood could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But others are not like that. Mainly, the Elemental Factions have gone mad. They used everything to find clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t know Dean Jerome was watching all of them. All of their efforts were thwarted by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who was most pissed off was none other than Faction Leader Vince. He is being pestered by people from other universities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sold information before. This time, he was asked to find the whereabouts of Zack Lockwood. He was promised many things, including a way to become a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chance was hard to come by. What’s worse? He was contacted by the planted spies of the Foreign Creature Side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their offer was even more tempting. They had a way to make him a Red Mark Warrior right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Vince lost his mind. The offer was way too tempting. He had already offended Dean Jerome before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Dean Jerome didn’t take serious actions against him. So, Faction Leader Vince wanted to become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he becomes a Red Mark Warrior, he can protect himself. Without knowing it, his heart betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say it out loud or accept the offers. Instead, he started looking for Zack Lockwood. Once he finds Zack Lockwood, then he can make the decision later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the other Elemental Faction Leaders felt threatened by the growth of Zack Lockwood. They felt Zack Lockwood could become another pillar for the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the influence of the Thunderflame Faction would be further strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Bloodline Faction is not in a hurry. One reason was because of the Human Bloodline Faction Leader, Francesca Ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other reason was that Monster Bloodline Faction Leader Bethany was not interested in this matter. She doesn’t care whether the Thunderflame Faction grows stronger or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe only these two factions are unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderflame Faction\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford convened a meeting. Main Elders Austin, Ann, Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mood was a little down. Not long ago, one of their outer circle elders was killed here. He was a Purple Mark Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, they came to know he was one of the planted spies. Clifford disclosed the news to them; it shook them to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, they have been looking for planted spies in their faction. If Zack Lockwood comes back, he would be attacked by the planted spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone was seated in their seats, Faction Leader Clifford was there looking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many are there in our faction?\" Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, others had the same question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have killed a few rats in my palace,\" Leola said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm, I too found a few suspicious people,\" Cathy said with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got a few members. I didn’t see anyone suspicious,\" Ann said this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m still investigating my place,\" Austin added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford heard everyone’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosie was here as well. She didn’t have many people around her. She and her disciple, Clara, spend most of their time alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to find and eliminate them. If we don’t do it, I doubt Dean Jerome will let the kid come back here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He might send the kid to another secret land again,\" Faction Leader Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone’s faces changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be true. They knew the terror of the planted spies. If they are not careful, then Zack Lockwood could face another attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the elders shared information with each other. They aren’t going anywhere for missions. Their main goal is to eliminate the planted spies first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that, just like the Thunderflame Faction, there could be planted spies in other factions as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t have to worry about it. It is the problem of Dean Jerome. He will take care of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier-4 Region\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreign creature side is actively looking for Zack Lockwood, who occupies the top place on their kill list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also using the opportunity to target other warriors on the kill list. So many talented warriors faced assassination attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of them were attacked by sudden sneak attacks. They died as a result. It alerted the major warrior families in the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started guarding their warriors against the planted spies. Everyone had expected the foreign creatures to focus on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were all caught off guard. The foreign creature side lost patience. They are using the opportunity to uproot as many genius warriors as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for the foreign creature side to launch an attack on the warriors of other universities. Some died in the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the foreign creature side failed to find Zack Lockwood, they were able to eliminate some other targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has caused a considerable loss to the human side. Everyone wanted Star University’s Zack Lockwood to be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are so deeply interested in the matter that they forgot to provide more protection to their own talented warriors. It’s hard to guard against the planted spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the attack, the Deans and elders of other universities started actively hunting for the planted spies on their campus and in their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They realized the danger of the planted spies. They were happy to bring down Star University, but they forgot about their own condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Moon University was proactive compared to others. They did good work monitoring their students.\u003C\u002Fp>",1065,"2026-06-05T15:57:28.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","d2815de2a02138aa356d9a54dd4e19179c3854ac768e94d093f9532c38e04a6c","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1420","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1419",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
