He is focusing on my uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Head Amelia then started telling her students. At this point, other warriors also arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame faction warriors of this institution turned towards me. Their expressions turned serious. I think they couldn't believe what they were hearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came here for a challenge,\" I said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a small exclamation rang out in the place. They couldn't believe that I would come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call, Thomas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He always wanted to fight against Zack Lockwood,\" A voice came from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Thomas can fight equally against Zack Lockwood,\" Another voice came from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, everyone started saying Thomas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame faction head Amelia nodded at her before saying, \"Alright, ask Thomas to come to the training ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that she started to guide me toward her cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, the news about my coming here quickly spread to the whole B-grade institution. My name started to appear in online posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news came as a thunder for the warriors in the A-grade institution. They couldn't believe someone from the A-grade institution would go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they learned the warrior was none other than Zack Lockwood. The warriors felt their face was slapped. Especially when they learned Zack had gone for a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don't know where to hide their faces. Almost every faction had warriors defeated by Zack Lockwood. Zack had gone there. Which means there was no capable warrior in the A-grade institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, a strong criticism started to spread against Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Thomas who had gone outside for a while returned to the academy. When he learned that such an interesting thing was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a wide laugh before starting to go towards the B-grade institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Head Amelia started explaining about the strong warriors in this institution. According to her, many warriors are qualified to enter an A-grade institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of the lack of admission seats. They weren't able to get the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I nodded my head at her. Who knows there might be strong warriors studying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia received the news about Thomas' arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, Thomas has arrived. He is one of the strongest Super Elite Warriors,\" She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I ease down my eyebrows. Finally, I don't have to wait for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, we reached the training ground. When we got here. I saw it's a medium-sized duel platform. Many warriors have gathered in the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each faction had its fighting platform. This was the fighting platform of the Flame faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was observing the platform. Amelia asked everyone to be quiet. Then a red-haired person stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at me before turning toward the flame faction head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, he is Thomas,\" Amelia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at her before turning towards him and asked, \"Are you ready for a fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood, I didn't expect to see you here. But don't worry, I won't let you win easily,\" Thomas said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I responded with a smile as well. I didn't expect the guy to be this enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Amelia asked whether to start the fight or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I walked to the platform. And Thomas stood opposite to me. This place was different from the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only people from the Flame faction are here. I bet others are itching to watch the duel as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Rebecca heard the reports as well. She couldn't help but reveal a small smile. She thinks that this news will distract others from the recent incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is also getting requests from other faction heads. They all want to watch the duel as well. But she thinks it's inappropriate to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, conflict may break out between the institutions. But if someone manages to duel better than the Warriors training here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it might give her a headache again. The warriors in the B-grade institution might ask for admission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can't be helped. She had no choice other than to let it happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ernest and Laverne were also surprised by the news. They didn't expect Zack to come up with such a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the duel arena, we stood opposite each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas was eager to duel against me. Amelia stood as a referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she gave the signal. Thomas took out a scythe to attack. The next second, a blazing flame released from her weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another the flame ball shot towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in my eyes, the speed was rather slower compared to A-grade institution warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started to evade the attack one by one. The flame ball hits the empty air and lands on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the smoke was settled. Everyone saw that we were starting at the same place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation sounded inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas was startled as well. His flame attack was fast enough. But now looking at Zack. He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he is not paying attention. I started charging towards him. Thomas raised his scythe to attack. When the blade got closer to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sidestepped enough to evade the attack. The next second, a blade pierces through the empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas' pupil shrinks. He wanted to step back a little. But my fist comes raining down on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I punched him. The next second, Thomas retreats a few steps backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I rushed out to attack. One after another, my punch landed on his body. In the blink of an eye, Thomas was pushed back to a defensive position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's with his speed?\" Thomas said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that Zack was not using the lightning technique at all. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think further another fist broke through his defense and a massive fist hit his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coughing up blood. He left the circle of the landing platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, Amelia declared me a winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was pin-drop silence in the whole room. No one expected the duel to come to an end this quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas wiped blood from his mouth before standing up. He looked at Zack with a solemn gaze. Not only he, but the other Flame faction warriors are silent as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the faction head Amelia was shocked. From beginning to end, Zack didn't use his special element at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He won the duel by simply using brute strength. Then something strikes her mind. The flame technique practiced by the warriors here is not that high grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the quality of technique might be the reason for Thomas' defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Thomas stepped out and his friends started taking him to the infirmary. I didn't use blood energy at all. Otherwise, he would have deep injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a small duel to test out their strength. Shaking my head, I turned towards Amelia. Earlier, she bragged about her students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, one of them wasn't able to withstand the brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Head Amelia saw through Zack's thoughts. The duel was eye-opening for her. Not only to her but to others as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then let out a small cough before turning towards others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anyone who wants to fight against Zack Lockwood?\" She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that many lowered their heads. Not many are as daring as Thomas. On the other hand, I waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the time passed, no one stepped forward. I felt bored. So I decided to go back to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, if anyone is interested. They can inform the elderly. If there is a challenge, I'll come tomorrow,' I said to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Amelia thought the decision was good as well. If she had time she could collect the names of the interested people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few of them are outside of the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I left the B-grade institution's premises and went back to my building. Faction Head Amelia was kind enough to send me off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I started walking back. I came across warriors who were going about their business. As I walked past them, many of them recognized my faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they started to gossip and took pictures of me. Soon, I reached my room. After entering inside, I closed the door and walked back to bed to lie down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I closed my eyes and recalled the duel in my mind. Thomas' flame technique was the average grade. And he wasn't proficient as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this is the standard then other warriors are average as well. Then I decided to wait until tomorrow. Faction Head Amelia might find names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess not only the Flame faction. Other faction warriors might show interest tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-05T15:56:57.064Z",1,"novelbin.me","197d00ffaeb5f18483438cccbd2d05e3ea0f2cde7f4f5137f6d20ab216b92bf0","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-633","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-631",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
