I entered the house and saw that dust had filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I entered the bathroom to take a cold shower. Then I went to bed and rested for a few hours. Later, I started the work of cleaning the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cleared all the rooms and windows. Now the room looked neat and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exited the house and decided to take a walk around the campus. I decided to start with the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since I had walked around the territory completely. As I was walking on the footpath, I came across other warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were going about their business. None of them had noticed me so far. I didn’t know if any one of them remembered my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I reached the canteen. I saw a small crowd there. I walked into the place and found an empty chair around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked the staff to bring me a cup of coffee. Today, I was wearing a normal combat uniform without any faction logo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the people looked at me and turned away. But there were a few who continued to stare at my face. Yet none of them came forward to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, my coffee arrived. I picked up the coffee and started drinking it. As time passed, I noticed that more and more people were looking toward my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could tell that some of them had recognized my face. I wondered whether anyone was ready to talk to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that they were hesitating, I finished drinking the coffee and paid the bill before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the warriors in the canteen opened their mouths and started their discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, isn’t he Zack Lockwood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s true. He is Zack Lockwood from the Golden Lightning Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did he return?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The campus is going to be overturned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The news will spread across the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Elemental Factions will have sleepless nights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors expressed their thoughts. Most of them were happy to watch the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they contacted their friends and started spreading the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I went to the Golden Lightning Palace to see Master Austin. When I got there, the members were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they started greeting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We heard your tales from the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We heard you swept the whole battlefield. The foreign creatures are no match for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I said, \"You are overexaggerating things. I just did my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting each and every one of them, I went toward the Master’s Residence. I reached his place and walked up to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could do anything, someone walked outside. The person was none other than Master Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you have come at the right time,\" Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go to the meeting hall,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was meeting time. So, every main elder would be going to the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we flew toward the meeting hall. We flew over the buildings and infrastructure. In a flash, we arrived in front of the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We landed in front of the building and walked into the place. We came to the hall and saw that no other main elders had arrived yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin went to his seat and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, the others will come,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main elders started coming one by one. Main Elder Leola, Cathy, Ann, and Rosie arrived. They were all surprised to see Zack Lockwood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them probed the strength of Zack Lockwood. They saw that Zack Lockwood was a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he had fought against the Purple Mark Foreign Creatures and eliminated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was seated in their seats. It didn’t take long for Faction Leader Clifford to arrive. He saw Zack Lockwood, and his face was full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, you have brought fame to the Thunderflame Faction. No Purple Mark Warriors are a match for you,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I smiled and said, \"Thanks to the resources provided by the Thunderflame Faction. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have reached this level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader and the main elders smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they started asking about the battlefield. I omitted the finer details and only explained the fight against the elite race members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation continued for twenty minutes. Suddenly, the main elders started receiving phone calls. The main elders were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They answered the phone calls. The other factions’ main elders were inquiring about Zack Lockwood. The main elders’ gaze fell on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood that the news of Zack Lockwood’s return had spread across the place. Now, the whole Star University Campus was talking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford’s device buzzed. Hearing that, everyone turned toward him. The faction leader picked up his device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that the Faction Leaders of the medium-sized and small-sized factions were calling him. Clifford raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Kid, everyone is talking about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do next?\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I said, \"I’m going to take a rest for a couple of days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, you can go back to your room,\" Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I nodded and looked toward Elder Austin and Elder Ann. I nodded to them and the other elders before leaving the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I flew toward my residence. When I got there, I saw warriors gathered in front of my house. They were waiting to see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I landed in front of the gate. The warriors were surprised to see me and stepped back. I looked at their uniforms; they were from different places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you guys want?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the warriors looked at each other. They ranged from Gold Mark Warriors to Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood, we didn’t expect to see you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it true that you killed Purple Mark Foreign Creatures?\" one of them asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I smiled and said, \"Yes, but you need to master your attack techniques to kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other warriors nodded. They gathered their courage and started to raise more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-05T15:57:28.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","2d8696e425b5ab8f33729ab9bf2dcaaa7e88e06cdc251636d5bfae90a29042a0","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1490","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1488",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
