the Blazing Fire Faction were pressing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they weren’t able to defeat the Avatar of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Avatar once again triumphs by using the abnormal power of the purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective: Late at night, I decided to go to bed early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, I sent a message to Elder Ann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to continue Virtual Training for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope she can end the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that way, I can focus on improving myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Avatar’s defeat against the Bloodline Warriors has awakened me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of competing inside the Thunderflame Faction, my goal should be the entire Star University and the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the message, I turned off the lights and walked towards the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I received a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my gaze towards the watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I found out the person who sent the message was none other than Master Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know what he is planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He does a lot of things without telling me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope he hasn’t arranged for anyone to fight against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I opened the message to read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, My expression was full of doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin wants my presence in the Golden Lightning Palace at 6 am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know what’s going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, he is not asking me to come there to practise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s it about?” I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I touched the screen to dismiss the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I received one more message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was the reply from Master Ann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I opened the message to read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that message, she agreed to my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She will put an end to the ongoing task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she wants me to focus on the cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want help from the Virtual Training Lab, I can go there again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the end of the message, she also mentioned that I should be present in the Golden Lightning Palace at 6 am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something is going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And my gut feeling tells me that it’s not simple,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I don’t want to waste time pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can find out in the morning in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day, After getting ready, I left the residence 10 minutes before 6 am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I woke up 2 hours earlier to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know what’s going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I feel it’s necessary to have my purple essence reserve full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I arrived at the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened before I could knock it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I noticed 3 warriors standing in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can sense that all three of them are above the SSS-ELITE Ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing my footsteps, three of them turned to look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them is female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other 2 were male warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their looks, it can be said that they are slightly older than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are Zack Lockwood, right.” “I’m Aby from 5th Monster Hunting Squad,” The female warrior introduced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’m Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, I’m in 20th Monster Hunting Squad,” I responded to the woman who has orange hair and brown eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance is striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know whether she has dyed her hair or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so you are from that trash Dan’s Squad,” A Black haired warrior said in a mocking tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I turned to look at the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at?” “The 20th Squad is the weakest in our palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan has failed to improve the team’s rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he has another burden to carry on.” “I doubt whether he has the energy to take care of his team anymore,” The warrior said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remi, you are too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget that Elder Austin mentioned his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is going along with us as well,” Aby said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are supporting trash from the 20th Squad?” At this time, the last one joined as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has brown short hair and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face looked rugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are from the same palace,” Aby retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were all from the same monster-hunting squad team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infamous 5th team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were generally not bad people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they looked upon weak teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who are not helping the reputation of the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, my eyes flashed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, I’m not an actual member of the 20th Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master has arranged me in that team for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s still not right for them to criticize this harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is working hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like I have to pay attention to team bonding as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the secret land mission, I forgot about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you not convinced?” The rugged person said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just forget it, Rayon,” Remi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aby was shocked when she saw Elder Austin coming towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shakes her head in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little drama didn’t go unnoticed under Austin’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that others don’t know about the Master-Disciple relationship between him and Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, these 2 won’t dare to say anything bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walks up to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on Zack Lockwood before saying, “Zack, they are from the 5th Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Top 5 Squads in our palace have Silver Mark and Gold Mark Warriors.” “It’s not easy to get a place in such a team where you work alongside Silver Mark Warriors and Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why these two were a little arrogant,” Austin said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the outside, they can feel that he is angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, I have warned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they never listen to me,” Aby complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remi and Rayon showed troublesome expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect their little actions to be seen by Elder Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin looks at their expression before saying, “You guys were unconvinced by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I right?” “Yes, elder,” Remi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And, what about you?” Austin asked Rayon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His rank says it all,” Rayon replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I can guess where it is going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master wants me to beat them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-05T15:57:06.191Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffb6e1e6c54b744ca193af1d82937425b3f8d02a635611f52dd201ba2add6c25","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-997","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-995",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
