I accepted the scroll from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca gasped internally. She looks at Zack with complicated emotions. She doesn't understand why Zack took this condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franklin Madden grinned ear to ear. Finally, the annoying brat is going to die under his faction member's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that way, they can redeem the lost reputation of the Flame faction. When the duel was over. The Flame Faction can go back to their old days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Franklin already starts imagining the bright days ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Elder sighs inwardly. Somehow he has managed to convince this kid. Hereafter the Giant Tower Headmaster won't trouble him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dean Rebecca took Zack back to her cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to the dean's office. Rebecca started asking her a barrage of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down opposite to her. I thought I couldn't reveal the scroll. But I can tell her something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, I can defeat Kane Patric. Because I have this feeling that I would soon touch the batter,\" I said to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca eases her brows. The answer seems genuine to her. As far now, Zack has no rival in the Elite level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kane Patric is different. His cultivation method is quite weird. As a result, the flame essence of that cultivation technique is more powerful than other normal methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, Zack's answer has assured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can go and prepare for the duel. I'll tell you the dates later. It might be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you have to be ready at any time,\" Rebecca said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not as anxious as before. But the expressions of the Supreme Elder and Franklin bothered her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack?\" She said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, anything else?\" I asked. It's already great that she has calmed down her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, what's more?\" I mutter in my heart. But the next second, her words surprised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I resign my position?\" Rebecca asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression turned serious. Seems like my words are affecting her. Which is good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, I'll say it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should resign from this position and retreat to improve your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, these people will make you a scapegoat,\" I said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me what's wrong with the Supreme Elder?\" Rebecca asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't spill the secrets right now. But it's good for you and the Academy,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca closes her eyes for a moment before making the decision. Then she opened her eyes and met the gaze of Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I trust you on this one. I'll resign my position formally after you duel,\" Rebecca said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on my face. Then I left the room. When I walked out of the office building. I hurriedly rushed out towards my dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't wait to check out the scroll. There is something in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, I reached my dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering inside, I walked into the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting cross-legged on the platform. I took the scroll from the storage ring and held it in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I opened the scroll and stretched it. When I saw the scroll it looked completely blank. But I know the lightning rune's reaction was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I tried to use my mental power. When my consciousness touched it. The lightning rune starts glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I saw some ancient writing appearing on the scroll. It was only visible only to my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow the writing was understandable. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Then I started to read it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha...Ha...Ha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's how it is!\" I said with joyful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient writing is not that of a cultivation method or lightning-type technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it's an ability. Similar to perceptual ability. The ancient writing teaches me how to use the lightning power as part of me without having to use the technique itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want I can use lightning power to create a lightning fist similar to the blood fist. Before I could only utilize a small part of lightning power outside of my body without using the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this knowledge can allow me to use it however I want. My eyes flickered. This lightning ability seems practical. I can catch the enemy off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing down these thoughts. I began to digest the knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news about a life-or-death duel starts to spread slowly. At first, no one took the news seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the news comes from the Flame faction. Everyone thought they were spreading rumors for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But past noon, an official statement was provided by the dean. That the duel was real and official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood and Kane Patrick are going to participate in the life-or-death duel. And the duel was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the news was released. It sent shock waves across the Academy. The Flame Faction Warriors are happy. But other factions are shocked by the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't believe how Zack Lockwood agreed to this condition. The life-or-death duel condition created a huge anticipation for the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only in A-grade institutions but the other institutions were surprised as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Jonathan who was in Viper City heard the news. At first, his reaction was normal. But when he heard the condition. His expression changes for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to go back to the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the training room, I firmly grasped the knowledge. Then I tried to mobilize lightning essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to guide the lightning energy towards my arm. Just like I did before in the blood fist move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when I tried to do it, It felt difficult. Looks like it would take me some days before doing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned. I'm hoping to use the move in the duel. But it looks like it would be difficult. Then I shook my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood fist is completely different. The blood energy comes from the bones. But for the lightning move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning energy comes from the dantian. I touched my chin in contemplation.?Then I decided to practice in the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it works out, it will be good. If not I can still win the duel against Kane Patrick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time files,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was dark. I walked out of the training room. The next moment, I saw someone sitting down on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jonathan,\" I mumbled under my breath. But the smell of sweat is attacking my nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can take a bath first\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan's voice reached my ears. Then I hurried towards the bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I changed into comfortable clothes and returned to the living room. Then I sat opposite Jonathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I saw Jonathan looking at me. I understood his meaning. I took the scroll and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of surprise flashes in Jonathan's eyes. Then received the scroll but when he saw there was nothing in it. It was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is nothing here,\" Jonathan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I started explaining to him. Jonathan was calm in his heart. But when he realizes it was not a technique but a flexible ability. He was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Inner Post, such abilities are hard to come across. Elemental techniques can be practiced by the warriors. However, these abilities may not be acquired by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect young master Zack to come across such a fortune. Then he also understood that not everyone can see ancient writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the lightning elemental warriors can do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master, this ability will be your trump card when you enter the inner post,\" Jonathan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I sighed inwardly before receiving the scroll from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master, can you still see the writings,\" Jonathan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity,\" Jonathan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master, how confident are you about the life or death duel,\" Jonathan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm 100% sure. But I hope that the Supreme Elder won't do shady things during the duel,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan's eyes flickered. Now he slightly regrets his previous decisions. He had stopped himself 2 times from warning the Supreme Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had done that, then the old man wouldn't dare to set conditions for Zack's duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then both of them spoke for a few minutes before he left the dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I started reading the unread messages. Most of them are from Ernest Kirk. When I opened it, I read the message. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest seems to be worried for me. He must be shocked by the news. A faint smile appeared on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began to read the statement given by the dean. The duel is going to be held the day after tomorrow. So I got one more day for practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to read the articles. The Flame faction members are actively promoting it. Seeing their post, I sneered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>",1533,"2026-06-05T15:56:53.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c8f91ef85c654048611a264c5046d9035eb7d46a83e9ac65794ea56b9310f5d","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-597","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-595",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
