Everything is going according to his plan. Even Michael can't back away from fighting right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Blevins stood opposite him. Facing each other, Chad Bartlett can't wait to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael's expression is solemn. From the beginning he knows something is wrong. But he has confidence in himself. And his Golden Aura element is not easy to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole crowd set their eyes on the duel. The audiences are staring at the screen. Below, the elder feels it's time to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the signal was given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chad made his move. He dashed toward Michael at breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael expected him to make a first move. So he wasn't surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he raised his hand to punch. His first bath in golden light all of a sudden. But anyone who is familiar with golden aura knows how tough it is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest and Laveren looked solemn below the platform. Both understand Michael is serious about the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne who was clueless earlier. She seems to understand something. Previously, Chad used to be cautious when facing the golden aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he is confronting it head on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest is looking to find some clues. He doesn't know where Chad's confidence comes from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, Chad grinned widely. He courageously raises his fist to meet Michael's golden aura punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two fist comes in contact with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrible sound reverberated throughout the area. Shock wave swept across the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Michael's eyes lit up with surprise. Not only he retreated a few steps backward. The golden aura depleted from the collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden realization struck his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You..,\" He looked at Chad who was smiling from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He broke through,\" Michael said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is the reason. He is feeling something odd earlier. This mad man is now stronger than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fooled by him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harumph,\" He gave a cold snort in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he disappeared from the spot and arrived in front of Chad. He twisted his fist to punch him in the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chad who was unfazed by Michael's move. He calmly blocked his punch again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock wave again swept across the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd who was watching the duel broke out in loud cheer. They are fascinated by the bright golden aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is completely different from the other five elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC's Perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to my room after completing the Gravity Training. Day by day, I'm pushing my body limit further. Even to the extent of getting injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thanks to the wooden scripture. I can heal myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a long shower. I changed to fresh clothes. I'm planning to head back to the building again to complete the lightning training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that I casually opened my sci-fi watch and logged into the academics social media site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, my feed is filled with news posts. All of them are about duel arena. I know most of the warriors are watching duels right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I scrolled down the page. I spotted one of the live feeds. Seeing that, I decided to watch a few duels before going back to the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small holographic protection appears above the watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are 10 duels taking place on 10 different platforms. So I selected platform no.1 to watch the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene changed and duel taking place platform no.1 is shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I sat on the sofa and began to watch the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm watching the duel. But it's a little bit boring. The warriors are not strong. Most of the duels ended within a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the warriors showed any dominance. In a few moves, either they admit defeat or get injured. They lost courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the dean is unsure about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they show similar performance in the year end conference, then we would hit the bottom place for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was lost in thoughts. I saw something strange happen on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four people walked out of the entrance. Looking at their face, I immediately recognised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael\" \"Laverne\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Ernest\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they doing here?\" I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is the 4th person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warrior with red hair. I have never seen him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a realization dawned upon me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might be the warrior who ended his retreat. But what is he doing with those three?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I squinted my eyes in confusion. Then I focused my attention toward the projection screen. Something unusual happened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red haired warrior beats the other two warriors on the platform. I don't know what they are talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it's easy to follow their conversation. But that red haired warrior surprised me greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, I saw Michael stepping inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he going to fight?\" I uttered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael is a Super Elite Warrior. So the red haired person might be Super Elite Warrior as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on out there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not an Elite fight anymore. Has someone challenged Michael for a duel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of thoughts come to mind. But I know it's impossible. Because Michael is the person who likes to be low key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone challenges him, I don't think he will accept right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I haven't seen a single post online regarding the challenge. So something must have happened today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the referee announced the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the red haired person's identity was announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F@ck,\" I cursed out loud. I couldn't help but stand in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chad Bartlett,\" I uttered his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this guy is a fellow senior. No wonder, Michael is acting out like that. Since someone from the faction is challenging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael has no choice other than to accept the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knowing that that person is a senior of mine. I became more interested in this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I sat back on the sofa and continued to watch the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael is losing the fight. I can tell that his golden aura is not working against the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what's with the Senior named Chad. He is not using his Special Element at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duel Arena,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce evil wind strikes Michael all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil wind quickly overwhelms the golden aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, it broke through Michael's defense. And lands a heavy blow to Michael's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered. Michael crashed on to the ground the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheer~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the audience let out a roaring cheer. The duel was so lit. But the duel time was short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chad Bartlett broke out a fierce move at the last moment. His special element was so domineering. Before it the golden aura fails to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coughing up blood. Michael tries to get up. Ernest and Laverne rushed to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael was defeated without much of a fight. He was slightly injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha...Ha...Ha....,\" Chad let out a joyful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feels satisfied by the win. Looking at Michael's injured state is more pleasing to the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he wanted to pay Michael back. And he has done it now. He cracked a wide grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud cheer still rings in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a glance at the referee, he stepped down from the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chad didn't wait for Michale to get up. He already showed the strength above the Super Elite Warrior. Unless, Michael breakthroughs. It's impossible to defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then quickly left the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, Michael stood up with the help of Ernest and Laverne. There is an emergency clinic in this building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So three of them slowly exit the arena to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael swallowed the healing pill. Right after, a hot energy went down his throat and started to heal his inner injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael's complexion turned better. Ernest and Laverne solemnly watch him. They can't wait to ask what had happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Michael was defeated in a blink of an eye. That moment was unbelievable for both of them. It's quite clear that Chad has become stronger than Michael now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm,\" Michael slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately checked his internal organs. Seeing that his injuries are gone. A hint of relief flashes in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he raised his head. He saw two of his friends standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael, what happened?\" Ernest asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne is looking at him with the same questioning eyes as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chad has taken a half step lead,\" Michael said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Ernest uttered in disbelief. He knows what this means. A clear shock written on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne shocked to the core as well. Both knew what half step means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may seem like a half leap in power. As long as another half is completed, Chad can become SS Elite Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they both looked at Michael with some concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Michael seems to have made a tough decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at both and said,\"I'm going to retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1557,"2026-06-05T15:56:52.844Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1a6323135666f9c930421e0b9bfea783ee48772c99324d7fcf42843095a1b3e","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-506","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-504",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
