the purple lightning-covered right fist comes in contact with the opponent’s black lightning fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It easily pushed back the black lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact force caused the opponent to take a few steps backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I remained rooted in the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?” Ronnie uttered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows how strong and dominating power was his Black Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No ordinary lightning can withstand the power of Black Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous warrior was the user of Golden Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he had suffered defeat in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this person made him retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Ronnie asked; he was not going to underestimate the person this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This simple clash convinced him that the opponent could fight across the ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Zack Lockwood,” I replied, with a smile on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud gasp sounded around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Variant Faction Warriors were shocked and surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They trusted in Ronnie’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they think the duel isn’t going to be easy for Ronnie to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone saw that Thunderflame Faction Warriors is also a lightning element user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ThunderFlame Faction Warrior let out a small cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha…Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is strong,” A Faction Warrior said to a friend next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can hope for a win from this duel,” The Female Warrior added with a smile as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collins, who participated in the previous duel also showed approval look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows the power of the Black Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had experienced it first-hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A new member of our faction is not easy at all,” He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Collins’s positive words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others became more supportive as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fighting platform, “I guess we should get serious,” Ronnie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie vanishes from the spot the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a black lightning trail can be seen moving on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I activated my perceptual ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could perceive everything around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spotted a black lightning trail coming towards me in a zig-zag manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I realised the opponent was using the movement technique to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears that the technique or his mastery over the techniques is better than mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I could not see his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star University is full of hidden tigers and dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are a lot of talented warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie’s attack reached me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were covered under my perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I easily sidestepped to avoid his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie went behind me before revealing his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another loud exclamation sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors can see that Ronnie has missed his attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first can be considered a fluke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s happening for the second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone can tell that Ronnie’s opponent is strong as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie heard the murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flash with glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is close to making a fool out of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanishes from the spot leaving the Black Lightning trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is going to use his speed to attack the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he reached me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet again he has failed to touch me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I avoided making contact by sidestepping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie wasn’t going to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black lightning zig zag can be seen passing over the afterimages of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some exclamation, the warriors became silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is watching the duel carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not an easy duel at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is pushing Ronnie this hard?” A Dark Variant Faction Warrior asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know who he is?” A Knowledgeable Fellow Faction Warrior said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that everyone turned towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you forget?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A newcomer has entered the Thunderflame Faction recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even our elders asked us to keep an eye on him.” “His name is Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is the one who is fighting against Ronnie,” The Warrior answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of understanding dawned on Dark Variant Faction Members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning of the conflict, they heard some members of the Thunderflame Faction talking about a newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect to meet him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s expression turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are looking at a formidable enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such strong people are at the top of any faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at how hard Ronnie is fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can predict the outcome of the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent is not taking the fight seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is indirectly showing the level difference between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fighting platform, I decided to end the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought the opponent would bring out something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he is relying on speed to tackle me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he is not going to use his other techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m getting bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I used the blood energy to cover my fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were too busy to focus on the black trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the opportunity to cover the red blood energies with the purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can feel immense power brewing in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the opponent got closer to me once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I didn’t evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, I confronted him with a powerful punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Ronnie was caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaa#boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When both of our fists collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie’s eyes almost popped as he felt immense pain and a cracking sound from his right arm bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the impact force destabilized his movements, and he then smashed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Argh!” A heart-wrenching cry escaped from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden cry made everyone quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone saw Ronnie lying on the ground, his left hand desperately grasping the right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fighting platform, I retracted both energies and looked at the opposite camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take him to the infirmary,” I said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My tone was neither humble nor arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the faces of the Dark Variant Faction Warriors tell me something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you injure him?” A Warrior walked towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is giving off the aura of Commander Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned towards him and said, “If you want to fight, you can step inside the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>” Hearing that Commander Rank Warrior became angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could talk, all the Thunderflame Faction Warriors appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, he let out a low humph, before carrying Ronnie out of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, you did well.” “Yeah, you gained us a face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We weren’t wrong to bring you here.” The Faction Warriors started to gather around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I revealed a simple smile on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came here for my selfish reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to test the power of purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn’t disappoint me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can go against the powerful black lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I’m hearing the praise of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed the malicious gazes of a few warriors in the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the perceptual ability is still active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could notice these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are those people?” I asked, pointing at a specific group of warriors among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ThunderFlame Faction Warriors turned around to locate the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you pointing at the Warriors with blood colour badges?” A female warrior asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are another troublesome bunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are more nasty than the Dark Variant Faction,” A male warrior clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go back to our faction before they stir up another trouble,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed and we started walking back to our faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the warriors from the 2 Bloodline Factions took note of the newcomer named Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that everyone saw one of the Bloodline Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Bloodline Faction members are watching it from the nearest building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were able to see another strong warrior rising from the Thunderflame Faction who could rival them in future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the crowd dispersed, and news about this particular duel started to spread across the Outer Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Outer Hall knows about the newcomer who joined their Outer Hall and Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was the hot topic a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the newcomer made another splash, which intrigued many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dark Variant Faction, the news caused a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Ronnie is a well-known, talented Black Lightning Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the dark elemental variants, the black lightning is considered one of the top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors, who could control the black lightning, have great potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got more chances of becoming Purple Mark Warrior in future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie suffered a bone fracture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news was shocking to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after hearing the ins and outs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because neither of the warriors had tried out their real techniques against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fought by using brute strength and simple elemental manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which further made them evaluate the power of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders of the Dark Variant Faction were already showing concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because such warriors have more chances to obtain powerful inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has trust in Ronnie to get a powerful inheritance in future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they are more certain about Zack Lockwood’s talent right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to make any decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They need to discuss this with the Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s forbidden to take any action without his knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone does act on their own, it would easily lead to a faction war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no one makes a major decision without the Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one certainly needs his opinion as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
