territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We exchanged contacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know the importance of the network building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys knew more information than I could find online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I went to the Golden Lightning Palace to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ongoing tension between different Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel it’s necessary to increase my strength further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can happen after getting a physique breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know why I feel those days are not longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the Golden Lightning Palace, I used my I.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to enter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess Master Austin is not here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have opened the door for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I made my way towards the Training Courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw no one was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but think of Master’s other disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure they must be Black Mark Warrior and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing down these thoughts, I found the essence chamber in the next courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t waste any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got there and used the I.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to enter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door behind me shut automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked to the console to activate the function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the chamber started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s energy starts pouring inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat cross-legged in the middle of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes and started practising the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later, I ended the cultivation and walked out of the essence chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is excitement in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I finally felt the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, I’m one step away from truly touching the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I knew it in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t take more than one or two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I left the Golden Lightning Palace and started walking back to the Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the residence, I entered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I locked the door and went to take a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Austin is currently busy doing an important task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He receives an information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s an information sent by an elder who manages the intel collection work for the ThunderFlame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t matter whether the news is big or small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing escapes the eyes and ears of the Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the message, Austin wore a solemn expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know whether to feel happy or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the one hand, the Zero Squad is going to take matters into their own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, his new disciple has made a perfect debut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would surely elivate the face of the Thunderflame faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knows better than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Factions among the top 10 ranings would move as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zack has shown his talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows Zack is going to face more challenges than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decides to have a good talk with him later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, After a few hours, all the elders and members of the Thunderflame Faction knew about the recent fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Members of the Monster Hunting Squads under the Golden Lightning Palace were more surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect newcomers to garner so much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because of the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Variant Faction Ronnie had garnered attention when he made his debut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s now happening with Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Following Day, I woke up and began my routine as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About one hour later, after getting ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I left the residence and started walking to the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While on my way, I got call from Master Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knowing that I’m on my way there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I furrowed my eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin’s voice sounded solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know but something is up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked into the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of going to the training courtyard, I moved towards his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived in front of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could knock it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come inside,” Master Austin greeted me inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to him before going in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin then sits on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked me to take a seat as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his behaviour, I think there is going to be a serious conversation next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting down, I turned towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, I heard about your duel yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m truly impressed,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s gaze turned serious next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added further by saying, “I don’t want to hit your confidence but it’s not good for you to show up in faction conflict.” Hearing that my expression changes drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is saying the opposite of my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought ThunderFlame Faction would gain face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he doesn’t want me to show up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin noticed Zack was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you are confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, I should be encouraging you to fight for the faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is not the normal times.” “The conflict between the Dark Variant Faction and our faction has reached another heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only elders will take part in the action” “You don’t have to be involved in skirmishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you will be targeted unnecessarily,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction conflict is more serious than I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not just about the Outer Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Master Austin is serious about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My back went chill thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll stay out of it,” I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about your body cultivation?” “Is there any progress?” He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my mood got better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sensed the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll get a breakthrough in one or two days,” I replied, honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Austin uttered, again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought of something before taking out a box containing a treasure pill from his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then opened the box in front of Zack’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden colour pill is in the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its textures were beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beautiful-looking pill costs millions of non-attribute affinity stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Austin didn’t plan on revealing its costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Golden Pill is one of the best pills for strengthening muscles and organs under the Black Mark Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be only found in the Tier-4 region.” “And it’s highly restricted and circulated among the top organizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Golden Pill is not available to the general public,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart set off storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never expected the Tier-5 region to have this type of transaction as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flash with a complicated glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin sighed and said, “There is a reason for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill recipe is a complex one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it needs rare resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such resources are cultivated by the top forces.” “And only the top forces have purchasing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their descendants consume rare treasures such as these to make their foundation solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that they can accept inheritance without any trouble.” “Some inheritances have tough requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t have a solid base and suitable physique, you won’t be able to get the inheritance.” “That’s why the top forces are powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They invest in the next generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that they can continue the lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I’m going to give you this Golden Pill for this reason as well.” “You should not lack in any aspect before reaching the General Rank,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure the cost of this pill is unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think the rich people are burning off their resources to get powerful inheritances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have finally realised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m underestimating the inheritance as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was it because?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already have one,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, what are you thinking?” Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, it’s too expensive,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin said, “I’m not only doing this for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also for our faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Thunderflame Faction needs the next generation of Strong Warriors.” “You know that Faction Leader is half-step Red Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is another faction leader with the same base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about the next generation?” Hearing I don’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to feel burdened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Faction Elders are doing the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are investing in the young generation so that they can increase their faction strength in future.” “If you become a strong warrior in future, you can do the same to the next generation,” Austin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I was truly convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I become a strong warrior above the Silver Mark, then I’ll treat the newcomers with the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll accept it,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin then handed over Golden Pill to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I received the golden pill and stored it inside the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we discussed other things before I went to the essence chamber to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this Golden Pill, I can break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I don’t want to use it before I touch the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the essence chamber, I entered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I activated the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s energy starts to fill the chamber room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat crosslegged to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes and started using the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood rune in my mind flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the blood energies from the world energies inside the chamber start to float towards my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blood energies entered the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started to circulate according to the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red blood lights appeared above the blood and started doing their job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, white energies start entering my bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, the feeling of barrier becomes more clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S
