Perspective: Secret Land, I was waiting for the Flesh-Cutting Mantis to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far there was no sign of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to waste any more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the black token out of the storage ring and put it in my pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I took the black sword and held it in my right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, I activated my perceptual ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the surrounding area becomes clear to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I spotted a huge monster in the east direction of mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately start dashing towards the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, I got closer to the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster is over 20 feet tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the looks of it, it’s searching for its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, both of its antennae straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It found the prey next to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flesh-Cutting Mantis Monster turned towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I wasn’t surprised by its response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather my heart was in turmoil for a different reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can insects grow beyond 20ft?” I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I decide to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time to test the power of purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple essence covers the blade in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning arcs can be seen dancing over the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swish!” I vanished from the spot and dashed to the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My target is Monster’s jointed legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster reacted strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flapped its giant wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the monster disappears from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears in a different spot a few meters away from the previous spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that my eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster is using the wind element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the realisation dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression becomes more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster flapped its wings again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it’s something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful wind blade shot towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Phantom Technique” I immediately used the movement technique to disappear from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving in a zig-zag manner, I closed the gap between the monster and me within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster is startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started flapping its wings to move again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before it could take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword Divide” I charged the sword by using the purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, the sword was completely charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I pointed the sword tip, targeting the hindlegs of the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple beam released from the tip of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster felt something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started flapping its wings fast to move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time the monster was a bit late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple beam, which is more powerful because of the purple lightning seed, hits the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the attack, the hind leg of the monster blasts into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster lost its balance before dropping to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, it looks ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind element is swirling around the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, I know that the Monster is just a Class-7 Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is nothing to be afraid of,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s special because it can control the wind element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decide to end the monster with this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how powerful it will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I executed the lightning drop technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful purple ball formed in my palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it I felt dred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ligtning element has become powerful because of the purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I looked at the Ferocious Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is still looking at me like it’s prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Drop” I slammed the lightning drop to the ground near the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the powerful lightning ball touches the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It explodes into different purple lightning bolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them struck the Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning bolts easily cracked the skin of the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it started to damage the flesh and organs of the monster in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the Mantis Monster completely charred and died in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster’s lifeless body dropped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ended the monster by using two moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class-7 Monster here is many times stronger than those Class-7 Monsters in the inner post region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just experienced the Mantis Monster using wind blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I collected the thoughts before taking out the monster core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token shone with light for a moment before turning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately understood what happened right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token of mine confirmed the killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I put the monster core in the storage ring before leaving the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I have to find another Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just the outskirt, yet a Class-7 Monster is looking for its prey here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how dangerous the inner and core areas of this land are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, I came across another Class-7 Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I didn’t use the Sword Moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the same “Lightning Drop” move to fry the monster in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster was struck by several lightning bolts, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the purple lightning was too much for the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single lightning bolt paralyzed and injured the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting successive hits, the Monster’s body broke into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and body parts splattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze swept over body parts before finding the monster’s core, which was somewhat intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token in my pocket shone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s my second kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I know it’s not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want to kill more monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I have to go a little deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the warning of Master Austin rang in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I came across the 8th order and above, then it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After weighing the options, I chose to stay in the outer area for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, I came across 2 more monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They met with the same end as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 2 hours of my arrival, my kill count raised to 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was nothing compared to the actual task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task of the Hunting Squads is to reduce the population of the Mantis Monster to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My killing number is insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, In the innermost region, the Federation Head, Ben, receives the official confirmation letter from Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the letter he was shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, not only succeeded in joining the Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he got into one of the top 10 Warrior Factions as well.” “Hmmm, ThunderFlame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wonder,” Ben is speaking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks Zack’s lightning element played a role in getting him into the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know he would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t expect him to become a member of the Warrior Factions,” He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows some information as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy to join the Warrior Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even small Factions require only talented warriors to join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to top factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s even more strict when it comes to selecting a new warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decides to tell the happy news to Zack’s teacher Lowell McClain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell Castle: Lowell McClain is in his study room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past few days have been peaceful days for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were no emergency missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he has been worried about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know what happened to his student Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person who could contact the Tier-4 region Star University is the Federation Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gold Mark Warrior has such authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is just a Silver Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far the Federation Head haven’t said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he couldn’t help but feel restlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His communication device starts buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he notices that the Federation Head has sent him something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confirmation letter,” He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he opened the digital letter to read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, his expression was neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression changed and turned to disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha…Ha…” When he finished reading the letter, joyful laughter left his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burden pressing his heart disappeared all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack is fine, and he has found a strong backer as well,” Lowell said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard of the different factions as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had been to the Tier-4 region to accept his inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he learnt about these warriors’ factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exists in all Tier-4 region forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Federation Head needing to tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that Thunderflame Faction is one of the top 10 factions there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, he thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They must have seen Zack’s triple element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Factions only accept geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which explains why?” He figured out the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sigh escapes from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is not going to worry about Zack’s safety anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The triple element warrior is rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Tier-4 region is not without geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are bloodline families and inheritance families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their descendants are strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double-element warriors can be spotted in the Tier-4 region as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that is going for Zack it’s his triple element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks Zack will find how strong and competitive is Tier-4 region’s warriors are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know whether he would take time to meet us in future,” He sighed to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he decides to share the news with Jonathan as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
