Fortunately, I was able to fill up the dantian with the purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, the male warrior came and brought me down to the foot of the mountain. Then we entered the black aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cabin, I began to take a rest. The male warrior went somewhere. Shortly after, the aircraft took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black aircraft enters the academy space. Slowly, the aircraft reaches the transit facility and descends. When the aircraft touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up from the seat and walked out of the aircraft. I turned around to look for the guardians. But they are nowhere to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gone,\" A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing down these thoughts, I started to head back to my dorm room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the guardians are observing Zack from the shadows. Because of the dean's order they can't reveal their identity to Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zack disappeared from the spot. They immediately went to see the dean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came back to my dorm room. It's going to be night time soon. So I don't plan on doing other work. Suddenly, I thought about Laverne Morrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder what she is doing right now? I hope their family would accept the dean's arrangement. Otherwise, it's impossible to go against the Academy rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, I couldn't help but remember Jonathan's words. He told me that the supreme elder of this academy is behaving suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had warned me about the supreme elder. I hope Laverne's problem will be solved soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then after pushing down these thoughts, I went to take a shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the bed, I started doing my morning routine. Then I entered the training room several minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dantian was full of purple essence. But still there is room for storing the healing essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat down cross-legged on the platform. Then I started to run the wooden scripture. I plan to store a small amount of healing essence for emergency use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I have decided to go to the monster zone today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I started to absorb the green essence around me. But they are small in quantity. It would take some time to absorb them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started to focus and began to absorb these deep green energies from the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the energy entered my body. I guided the energy according to the cultivation method. The energies started to flow through my veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circulation, the healing energy enters the dantian and begins to settle inside. Slowly, the small amount of healing essence gathered in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few hours, I opened my eyes. Then I checked the dantian area. Seeing the two types of energies, my mouth curved into arcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I stood up and walked out of the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I appeared before the dining hall. As usual Ernest was waiting for me. There was one missing person. But she has gone back to her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ernest, what is she doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she alright?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest noticed the appearance of Zack. So he immediately smiled in response. After hearing the question, he replied,\"Well, her family was glad that the dean can help in this situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked back,\"So, they are moving out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I'm not sure about this. Laverne's father has something else on his mind. He didn't want to take the entire family to some other place,\" Ernest replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Zack is frowning, he added,\"Don't worry, if there is any trouble she will ask for help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at him before we walked into the dining hall. Suddenly, I thought of an annoying person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ernest, I asked,\" What happened to Michael?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he cause any problems for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest shook his head before saying,\"I was in my room most of the time. So he couldn't have contacted me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, we had already reached the food counter. After receiving the food plate, we found a place to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any plans today?\" Ernest asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to the monster zone today. I'm eager to fight,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I want to sharpen my skills as well. Since Michael was back. We will fight sooner or later,\" Ernest added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed inwardly. Because I agree with his words. Michael doesn't seem to give up. There is bound to be some clashes ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we continued to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having breakfast, we walked out of the place. Then we headed straight towards the Transportation Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, we saw many warriors going to the same place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard about the year end competition?\" Ernest asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my eyes flickered. I looked at him and replied,\"I know, because the dean wants me to perform well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest was surprised by my answer. He uttered,\"No wonder. The dean was showing such attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's you, then I can understand. In the Elite level, only you can win duels for us,\" He added further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to participate?\" I asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest replied,\"Not all of us can participate. I believe there will be a competition to select the representatives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apart from a few selective people, like you. Rest of us have to go through this process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head in understanding. \"So, when is it going to happen?\" I asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have already reached the Transportation Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think there will be a circular next week. One of the flame faction warriors shared the news with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Flame Faction Head ordered them to improve their strength. I believe their goal is to become representative,\" Ernest said with a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. The Flame Faction Head Franklin is the Vice-dean of the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he seems to care more about the Flame Faction. Then shaking my head, I walked up to the circular platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one to choose?\" Ernest asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Select the place of Class-5 Monsters,\" I replied. I can fight across ranks. But I don't know about Ernest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it would be risky if we choose the Class-6 Monsters area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest selected the server for the transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights on the platform lit up. Right after the activation, we disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes. I found myself standing in an open field. There is dense green vegetation and shade trees here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the landmass is vast open fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least we are not in the dense forest. This place is good for fighting,\" Ernest commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, it depends on the monster,\" I replied back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we began to look around for the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, we found the deadly monster ahead of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Purple Black Scorpion,\" Ernest let out a cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. This is supposed to be the name of Class-6 Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like we found a monster close to breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Black Scorpion is a Peak Stage Class-6 Monster. It already picked up the signal of prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant body made a sudden turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I took out the black sword from the storage ring and held it in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest was ready to face the monster as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the monster made an attack by using its dead tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's coming to you,\" Ernest warned me as he prepared to make an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes fixed on the stinger. One attack from the stinger can injure me deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that stinger was a few distance away from me. I raised my black sword to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black blade collides with the stinger. The impact pushed me a few steps backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, its body was attacked by the soil element. Ernest created a small boulder by using the soil element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bombarded the monster's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple black scorpion wailed in pain. It raises both of its claws to attack Ernest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ernest manages to attract the attention of the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my sword and began to charge the sword with the purple essence. In a blink of an eye, the black blade flickered with purple glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword Divide\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung my sword against the monster. The next moment, a purple beam discharged from the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning beam reaches the target in a blink of an eye. It directly hits the monster's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrible sound reverberated throughout the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster's hard skin began to crumble. The lightning beam attack managed to leave behind a scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cry~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Black Scorpion lets out a ugly cry. The monster forgot about Ernest Kirk for a moment. It suddenly dashes toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I raised my sword again. When the monster came closer towards me. The purple arcs covered my legs and I escaped from the spot by using the lightning phantom technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster stinger hits the empty place. On the other hand, Ernest was surprised by seeing Zack's lightning element.\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-05T15:56:53.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","66d01b7ad58c527ff1e820c535476ba6fc96a79f44af2313c38183e0fe0bf2a0","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-559","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-557",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
