Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024: A surprise attack Chapter 1024: A surprise attack From MC’s Perspective: Ed Conrad was startled.

He didn’t expect someone to say his junior brother’s name.

To think his junior brother defeated the Warriors from the 6th Monster Hunting Squad.

He finally started to realize the meaning behind the Master’s words.

Maybe his junior brother is not an ordinary warrior.

He sighs inwardly before looking at the warrior.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the matter,” Ed replied.

Hearing that, the other warriors celebrated.

They didn’t know the identity of Zack Lockwood.

If they knew Zack Lockwood was Ed Conrad’s junior brother, they wouldn’t dare to behave like this.

“Now, what happened to the duel?” Ed asked himself.

But before figuring it out, he decided to return to his residence to freshen up.

Meanwhile, I returned to the residence.

After entering the room, I lay on the sofa.

Today’s duel ended in my favor.

But still, I have revealed my strength.

Which may cause unwanted people to take notice.

But it can’t be helped.

Apart from Ronnie Seth, I don’t think others can handle the Lightning Cage Technique.

Looking at the ceiling, I fell into contemplation.

Now that I have improved my skills in the Lightning Cage Technique, next, I have to focus on essence cultivation.

Only when both essence and body are at the same level can I sigh in relief.

Then I got up and went to take a bath.

On the other hand, the news of Ronnie Seth’s defeat began to spread across the Outer Hall.

Almost all the Outer Hall Warriors had witnessed the strength of Zack Lockwood.

Especially those who are not part of any faction.

They saw the gap between them and faction warriors.

It’s not like Ronnie Seth was weak, but Zack Lockwood is too strong.

None of the warriors can win against Ronnie Seth, let alone win against Zack Lockwood.

This is where the Outer Hall Warriors saw reality.

It’s different for those in different factions.

The small and medium-sized factions saw how SSS-ELITE Rank Warriors of both Factions are this strong.

The gap is too big.

So much so that the SSS-ELITE Rank in small and medium-sized factions can’t handle a few moves from Ronnie Seth and Zack Lockwood.

They might win against Outer Hall Warriors who are not part of a faction, but there is no comparison when it comes to the Top Faction Warriors.

Whereas the other top factions, the two Bloodline Factions and other elemental factions marked these two warriors as important warriors on their list.

If Zack Lockwood and Ronnie Seth pose any threat to them, then they would put their names on their kill list.

Everyone got what they wanted from this duel, which was information.

It’s just the Dark Variant Faction Warriors are disappointed by the result.

Their mood has turned gloomy and complex.

Gloomy because they lost to their deadly rival, the Thunderflame Faction.

Complex because Zack Lockwood was indeed too strong for Ronnie Seth to win against.

Everyone clearly saw the gap, especially how the power of purple lightning completely suppressed Ronnie Seth.

Ronnie Seth’s Black Lightning was unhelpful in that situation.

The Main Elders of the Dark Variant Faction took note of this.

Already, the main members of the two factions are fighting secretly against each other.

No one has shown their cards publicly.

The Dark Variant Faction thought the next generation would be different.

But Zack Lockwood has surprised the main elders of the Dark Variant Faction.

No one in their faction with SSS-ELITE Rank can defeat Zack Lockwood.

It was a conclusion they made, but it was a chilling admission that they failed to identify such talent.

Ronnie Seth was good.

They had seen his improvement.

So the main elders are not going to vent their anger on Ronnie Seth.

Instead, they plan to increase the difficulty of the training routine.

…

Virtual Training Lab: “The kid does it again.

I knew he was hiding his strength.

To think the output of his last move would be this strong,” Old Man Daniel muttered to himself.

Ever since Zack Lockwood said that he wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon, he was sad and got bored.

He has been busy conducting virtual duels and updating the data of unknown warriors.

But he was most interested in updating Zack Lockwood’s data.

“Elder, Zack Lockwood and Ronnie Seth.

Both of them have surpassed their virtual avatars.

Now their avatars’ data is outdated,” one of the staff said.

“I know.

But don’t delete them.

It will be useful one day,” Old Man Daniel said to the staff.

Then he turned towards the holographic screen in front of him.

It was showing the virtual avatar of Zack Lockwood’s profile strength.

“What to do?” “I want the kid to come here again,” Old Man Daniel uttered.

A female staff member heard this mumbling.

She turned around and asked, “Elder, why don’t we pay Zack Lockwood for his virtual duels?” Hearing that, Old Man Daniel stopped moving because her words clicked something in his mind.

“That’s it.

Why haven’t I thought of this before?” “If we pay Zack Lockwood, he will definitely come here to fight in virtual duels,” Old Man Daniel said.

But the problem was he didn’t know what to pay with.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

The purple lightning reminded him of lightning essence stones.

The Lightning Essence Stones are rare to come by.

But they are important for Lightning Warriors.

Old Man Daniel’s eyes flickered.

Now, he knew what to do.

He decided to call a few of his contacts to get Lightning Essence Stones.

…

The following day, After getting ready, I walked out of the residence as usual.

My schedule today is to cultivate inside the essence chamber facility.

I have this feeling that the coming days won’t be peaceful.

So it’s important to raise my strength.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the Golden Lightning Palace.

The door opened automatically.

Then I walked inside.

I headed straight towards my Master’s residence.

After reaching his house, I walked up to the door to knock.

Creak!

The door was opened by someone.

He appeared to be a young man in his late twenties.

He was staring at my face.

“You are Zack Lockwood,” Ed Conrad said.

“Yes, it’s me.

Who are you, senior?” I asked.

Ed Conrad smiled and said, “I’m the 5th Disciple of Main Elder Austin and your senior brother.” My heart set off storms.

I thought Master’s other disciples were on missions outside, but I didn’t expect one of them to return.

Now that I realized the Master had been talking about them.

Master told me that his other disciples would return soon.

“Why are you spacing out?” “Come inside,” Ed Conrad said.

Hearing that, my thoughts returned to reality.

Then I walked inside the house.

“Zack, you did well by defeating that kid.” “And you used the Lightning Cage among your techniques to defeat him,” Austin said while sitting on the sofa.

“Yes, Master.

I have been practicing this technique for a while.

And the Arena duel happened to be the perfect spot to test it out,” I replied while sitting in the chair next to me.

Ed Conrad sat in the other chair.

Quiet!

The next second, there was an awkward silence.

Ed Conrad’s presence here was making me uneasy.

Austin looked at these two before saying, “He is your 5th Senior brother.

His name is Ed Conrad.

He was similar to you in the beginning.” “He is also a purple lightning warrior as well.

But the effect is different.

It’s more tilted toward paralyzing.

If you get hit by his lightning bolt, your whole body will be paralyzed within a few seconds,” Austin just finished saying that.

But Ed Conrad already shot a small and thin purple lightning bolt at Zack Lockwood.

Boom!

On the other hand, I was taken aback by the surprise attack.

A purple lightning bolt shot by a Black Mark Warrior was so fast that it struck my body before I could take a step away.

The purple lightning was similar to mine, but its color was not that dense.

Yet, I felt the new effect of my 5th Senior brother’s lightning element.

I’m feeling my entire body go numb.

The purple lightning seed in my Dantian reacted after sensing foreign Lightning power penetrating my body.

Feeling the sensation in the Dantian, I immediately circulated the purple essence through my body.

The feeling of numbness alleviated a little.

But still, I showed no change in expression on my face.

“Ed Conrad, you are overstepping your boundaries,” Austin said with anger.

Boom!

The next second, he released a small part of coercion.

But it was enough to shake the whole house.

Ed Conrad felt a sense of crisis enveloping him.

Any wrong move, and he could die.

“Master, I apologize.

I got over-enthusiastic after seeing my junior brother,” Ed Conrad admitted his mistake, though he prepared this beforehand.

Austin saw through his thoughts and said, “Don’t you think I know that this was your plan all along?” Ed Conrad’s heart skipped a beat.

He thought he had fooled his master, but he was dead wrong.

“Master, I won’t do it again,” Ed Conrad seriously pleaded this time.
