None of them hold back their cards. Eurice's boiling water attack is already causing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vina was slowly pushed to the corner. Injuries on her body made her attack slower. Right now, the duel is heading towards the draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eurice has exhausted the essence from earlier confrontation. Though her mutated water attack was powerful. She can't support it without essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eurice Frye completely exhausted her essence. Vina was on the verge of collapsing. But she was able to hold on with the remaining wind essence in her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Eurice Frye admitted defeat in front of everyone. And Vina Potkins was declared as the winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, I'm looking forward to your duel tomorrow,\" Ernest said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. The outcome was surprising. Looks like Vina has figured it out. Only endurance can win her duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them have equal combat prowess. But each of their essences made the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheer~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectator let out a loud cheer. The Gale Faction members' voices are even more thunderous. They are excited by the victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they can hold their heads high in front of the RainWater Faction Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd on the side of the RainWater Faction's members showed gloom. Nobody thought Eurice would lose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Alice sighed in her heart. She saw through Eurice Frye. She didn't have any improvement at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she got defeated at the hands of Zack Lockwood. She had thought Eurice was practicing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the results showed that she did nothing. \"What happened to her?\" She knitted her eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she tried to talk to her. Eurice had a strange reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she shook her head before deciding to try again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the flame faction head showed no expression. He turned towards Kane and said, \"You can decide whether to challenge him or not after tomorrow's duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Kane nodded his head. His eyes showed an exciting glint. He is looking forward to challenging Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after the crowd starts to slowly disperse. Everyone was satisfied with the result. Because they can watch one more duel tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached my room. After entering inside, I looked at the door. For tomorrow's duel, I don't have to do anything. I can easily suppress her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a certain person's image comes to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kane Patrick uh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know whether he is going to trouble me or not. But looking at the Flame Faction Head's behavior. I think it's highly possible. They might want to redeem their prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then shaking my head, I decided to go to the dean's office later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lightning essence was not enough for the duel. To counter Vina's sharp wind. I must rely on the lightning technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining some clarity, I decided to leave after taking a nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I entered the office building and came to the dean's cabin. When I reached the door. The door opened automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you have agreed to the duel tomorrow,\" Dean Rebecca said with a smile\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I nodded my head in response while sitting opposite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, that's right. I didn't expect her to win. So I want to go back to the mountain peak again to recover my essence,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of understanding appeared in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" After saying that she summoned the shadow guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the male and female guardians appeared. After seeing Zack, they understood the assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys take Zack to the mountain peak. He has a duel tomorrow,\" Rebecca said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the guardians nodded their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For convenience, I'll schedule the duel time in the afternoon. You can take your time to return the next morning,\" She added further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on my face. Then suddenly I remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, what about Laverne's family?\" I asked. Ernest's words bothered my mind. Maybe there is a situation there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can be at ease. There is nothing wrong in Azure City,\" Rebecca said. But her heart was not calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Elder has instructed her not to do anything. She is hoping that everything will be fine. But she can't tell everything to Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking for a few more minutes. We left the room. I don't have anything to pack. All the necessities are placed in my storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we walked out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guardian started carrying me towards the destination. Their speed was so fast that in a few hours, we would reach the mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vina Potkins is looking for Zack Lockwood. Though Zack verbally agreed. She fears that he might go back on his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her friends are with her. Looking at her expression, they commented one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, he won't run away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, already people are posting about your duel tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her friend's words. She eases down her eyebrows. Vina hadn't had that much interaction with Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she thinks that her friends are right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, everyone received notification from the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Vina opened the message to read it. She was surprised. Her duel with Zack Lockwood was scheduled for tomorrow at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that duel is official. She let go of the hanging stone in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Eurice Frye shut herself again in her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it,\" She gritted her teeth in anger. She tried her best. But still, Vina had managed to save some essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, she was not fully into the duel. She was worried that Zack Lockwood might expose her. She can't fully concentrate on fighting, having guilt concisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was herself surprised. Why Zack Lockwood didn't expose her? Without knowing the answer, she can't sleep anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, her normal life in the academy will be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she receives a message from the faction head. She wants to meet her. A gloomy glint flashes in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the guardians successfully arrived at the mountaintop with Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching the solid ground. I finally felt comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, you can start cultivating now,\" The male guardian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I started finding a suitable spot. We are standing on top of the peak. The peak was continuously being bombarded with lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back clouds have covered the sky. There was no heavy rain. But still, continuous rain is causing the place to get wet with mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I found a rock. It's a small bedrock. But it's enough for me to sit down. Then I walked to the small bedrock on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I took the artifact and activated the formation. Soon, an invisible barrier covered the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can withstand the normal lightning. After arranging everything, I sat down on the rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the guardians looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think will win tomorrow?\" The female guardian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Undoubtedly, it's going to be Zack,\" The male guardian replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them have been protecting Zack for some time. So they have seen his strength before. Zack can fight across ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can easily win tomorrow's duel. All he needs to do is to recover the essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I started to run the lightning script. Right after, the rune in my mind starts to flicker. Slowly, I started to attract the purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the barrier was hit by powerful lightning. But not a single crack appeared on the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the purple energy entered my body. I started to guide the energy according to the cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circulation, the refined essence entered the dan tian. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress was faster in this environment. The place was filled with abundant purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time went by,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the essence appeared in the Dantian. The majestic totem starts to act. It started to refine the essence even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dantian was filled with purple essence. Seeing that I decided to practice wood scripture now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing essence always comes in handy. It's best to store some amount in my dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I switched my practice and started to run the wooden scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time went by,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small amount of green essence gathered at the center of the dantian. Among the sea of purple essence, the green essence was in a small quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes. Then I saw the time. There are still 3 hours left before sunrise. Seeing that I stood up and deactivated the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then both the guardians started carrying me backward to the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dropped me before the dorm. We came right before the sunrise. I can take a rest before getting ready for the duel in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I reached my room. After entering inside, I locked the door. Then I decided to take a shower before going to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-05T15:56:53.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","16f97dbe7723941c8bf536e1fb53de502d608d105ec36d5c15db3c3d7a05fe1c","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-573","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-571",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
