Neither Jonathan nor the teacher neither of them disturbed me. After getting ready, I left the room to see the teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was supposed to discuss this on his last day. But I slept without realizing it. Shaking my head, I quickly walked into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan is already waiting for me. \"You are here,\" Jonathan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan smiled and said, \"Let's go to the master's study room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we quickly arrived in front of a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opens. Jonathan signaled me to enter inside. \"This?\" I furrowed my eyebrows. Then I walked into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a wide spacious study room. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The study hall is not empty. There is a book collection in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but feel stunned. All of this infrastructure was temporary. Even this mansion is built as a temporary stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked a little bit further. I see the teacher is looking at some stuff. I quietly stepped forward and stood in front of a wooden table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell McClain is already aware of Zack's presence. He then stopped viewing the report and turned his attention toward his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Zack, your rate of progress went beyond my prediction. Normally, students will graduate after becoming super elite from the academy. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are just one big realm away from it,\" Lowell added further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. \"You can graduate after becoming super elite,\" I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell observes Vincent's reaction. \"That's right, the super-elite is limited. The outer post lacks the energy and resources for further cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that a look of realization dawned upon me. So it is not the academy but the outer post region that doesn't have energy for further cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I thought after joining the academy my journey would be smooth sailing. But what I'm going to do if there is a lack of resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially I need rare lightning elemental resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell saw through his student's troubles. He knew what was bothering him. Lightning elements are scarce in this region. An elite-level resource, he knows only one place where it is available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To train you. I already made a perfect plan. You will spend one year at Saw Scale Viper Academy. After that I will take you back with me to the Inner Post region,\" Lowell said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One year,\" I asked out in surprise. For what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell replied, \"The Saw Scale Viper Academy has super elite-level resources. And you will find one for your lightning element in the Special elemental Zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the meantime, I will make arrangements for you in the Inner Post. It will take at least a few months for me. But if you manage to get that resource in a shorter period, then you can contact me,\" Lowell said in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart set off storms. Super elite-level lightning resources? I'd already guessed what this is. It must be related to the special element zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I quickly calmed down by heart. Fortunately, I got the opportunity to leave the outer post entirely after collecting the lightning resource. But why do I feel this is another test from the teacher?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about the test, I looked at him. I don't know whether it is okay or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked, \"Teacher, what should I do in the competition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell sighed inwardly. He thought this competition would be a whetting stone for him. But with Zack's current strength, he can walk sideways completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, now it has become easy for you. Do you remember what I told you about the rewards?\" Lowell asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly recalled something from memory. The first place in this competition is awarded mysterious rewards. And that teacher has said that previously, that reward is important to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So If I don't participate, how can I get the reward? After gaining some clarity, I looked at the teacher and said, \"Teacher, I understand. I will get first place in the competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of appreciation flashed in Lowell's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said, \"It's good. You can leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I nodded and left the study hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a blink of an eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Odyssey Monster Zone's location is crowded with many forces. Almost every mansion is occupied by people. People from big forces were staying in a large mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas people from medium and small-sized forces were staying in small buildings. Strangely, the seed warriors from Tier-7 cities were not that many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some of the big influential forces didn't even come. Right now most of the warriors walking along the street were Tier-8 city residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don't know the danger of the Odyssey Monster Zone. As such in one of the medium size buildings, the people from Frazier Clan were staying inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maria, are you sure?\" The Frazier Clan head asked in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria Frazier nodded her head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, a hint of hesitation flashed in Head's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frazier Clan people came here last night. But right after that, they managed to collect various information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition is going to start tomorrow. But there is no sign of seed warriors from big forces. The Clan Head feels something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he asked his daughter whether she was sure about her participation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same, Maria was aware of the dangers in the monster zone because of Zack's intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing not many people from Tier-7 cities shows that Zack's information is credible. But to further develop her clan she had no other option except to participate in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar meetings were happening across the forces that came here late. Especially the forces coming from Tier-8 cities. One by one starting to realize that something was fishy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a couple of days, some big forces strongly protested to stop the competition. But everything died down after the joint statement released by the academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it is too late to change anything. The competition will start tomorrow. The forces make their seed warriors in a peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time people from Crimson Hall also arrived at the location. They were all walking towards their mansion. As a host, a very large mansion was built near the monster zone similar to the big forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Elder Casey reveals a triumphant smile on his face. He really can't wait to start the competition. So that people can see his masterpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also notices some slippery foxes didn't come here at all. Their descendants are going to miss the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casey sneered inside. Though some of the forces didn't come. But he saw the forces connected to their Crimson Hall blindly come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must be betting on the reputation of the crimson hall. He let out a small laugh. Those forces will know how wrong they are tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>8 A.M\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hear the participants were gathering in front of the monster zone right now. And the powerhouse from the six academies will arrive shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the information reached my ears. I left the mansion and walked toward the monster zone. The entrance to the monster zone is similar to other monster zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a vetting process. Only the registered participants can enter inside. While walking, I see a huge sky tower building close to the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that a quick glint flashed in my eyes. The sky tower building is specifically built for people from the academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know whether anyone has arrived or not. Not only that, I heard that crimson hall has arranged live broadcasting for the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what happened to Jonathan and the Teacher. They were nowhere to see this morning. But I believe they will be monitoring the event in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then putting aside these thoughts, I walked forward to the monster zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, inside the sky tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Elder Casey is waiting for the academy powerhouse to arrive. There were several floors in this sky tower. Each floor is opened to the forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were allowed to enter inside based on their ranking. Right now the small forces were entering the lower floors. Where the medium-sized forces are slightly above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the big forces were occupying higher floors except for the top. The top is left for academy powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each floor is set up with a big screen to show the live event. One by one the floors were getting filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the clouds high above, two people were observing everything calmly. Essentially the scenes happening in the sky tower didn't go unnoticed by their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, is there something wrong with the six forces? Jonathan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glint flashed in Lowell's eyes. The next second, he revealed a small smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The six academies lost their spine. I think it's time to put them back in their place,\" Lowell said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a small volcano is boiling in his heart. The academies were stopping so low to cover their inability to recruit more warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>",1545,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ecb8c1682624857b51253513d9db4becd3059d79f157cd038d45b88aefe7092","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-433","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-431",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
