Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088: Hidden Ace Stephen Chapter 1088: Hidden Ace Stephen From MC’s Perspective: Time passed.

After reaching the limit, I switched methods.

Then I started running the blood element method.

I was so immersed in the practice that I forgot about the outside noise.

When I reached the limit by practicing the blood element method, I switched the practice again.

This time it’s the ancient healing method.

The ancient healing method would give powers once I completely mastered it.

I doubted how long it would take me to do that.

I was totally immersed in the practice.

After a long time, I focused on the three methods again.

I should make it a daily habit to practice all three methods compulsorily.

Only then can I reach the Peak Stage of the General Rank.

When it was evening, I reached the limit by practicing the ancient healing method as well.

My veins and meridians were under stress.

I needed to take proper rest before continuing the practice.

I stood up and walked up to the console to turn it off.

Buzz!

The world energy inside the chamber started to recede in the blink of an eye.

When it was completely gone, I stepped out of the room.

The warrior responsible for recording the details started upon seeing me.

I nodded to him before leaving.

It didn’t take long for me to reach my residence.

After entering the residence…

About 30 minutes later, I lay in my bed wearing comfortable clothes.

Today’s practice went well, but I couldn’t help but think about the secret land.

That person told me that all the warriors below the Black Mark Warriors would enter to try their luck.

I got benefits from the Secret Lands under the control of Star University.

I’m sure other Secret Lands will have something valuable as well.

While pondering, I slowly fell asleep.

…

The following day, In the Outer Hall, A slender-looking middle-aged man was training inside one of the facilities.

His name is Stephen.

He is one of the low-key people in the Outer Hall.

But that doesn’t mean he is innocent or good.

He is just minding his own business.

Suddenly, he received a call from the Main Elder.

“Master, why is he calling me?” he muttered.

His master is one of the main elders in the Dark Variant Faction.

Stephen stopped training before attending the call.

The Main Elder gave him instructions before ending the call.

The call was short and simple.

“Zack Lockwood?” Stephen’s eyes flickered.

The instructions were clear.

His master wanted him to fight against the new kid who is famous right now.

His master wanted to know that kid’s real strength.

“That kid may have entered Commander Rank.

It’s simply overkill for him to target that kid,” Stephen said to himself.

He didn’t want to be involved in any kind of mess.

He simply wanted to mind his own business.

He had been laying low for many years.

According to his age, Zack Lockwood could be considered a teenager.

He had no feud with that kid.

But the master was clear in his words.

He felt troubled.

He had been suppressing his strength for the past two years.

He was doing this for one simple reason.

“Inheritance,” Stephen’s eyes flickered.

It’s because he couldn’t get any suitable Inheritance for breaking into the Black Mark Rank.

That’s why he has stayed at the Peak Stage of General Rank for 2 years.

He knows that a powerful Secret Land is going to open soon.

He may get a chance to find a suitable Inheritance in that Secret Land.

That’s why he doesn’t want any conflict at this moment.

He spent at least an hour pondering.

“Since he wants to know that kid’s strength, he can have a friendly spar with Zack Lockwood,” Stephen convinced himself.

Then he walked out of the training room and asked one of his friends to spread the message.

Shortly afterward, A new piece of news started spreading like wildfire across the Outer Hall.

The news is about Stephen, one of the powerful seniors in their Outer Hall, issuing a challenge against Zack Lockwood, the rising star of their Outer Hall.

The news shocked many people.

The older students knew about Stephen.

Stephen is one of the oldest warriors in the Outer Hall.

Normally, he should have been expelled for his age.

But he is still training inside the Outer Hall.

The Outer Hall Elders and the older students knew the truth.

It’s not that Stephen was not talented; he didn’t get any suitable Inheritance.

If he had gotten a suitable Inheritance, he would have become one of the Inner Hall seniors two years ago.

Now this rumor has caused mixed emotions.

Stephen had not offended anyone, nor did anyone dare to offend him.

Because Stephen was from the Dark Variant Faction.

This time the Outer Hall Elders couldn’t help but wonder whether it was the work of the Leader of the Dark Variant Faction.

They couldn’t help but smell the hidden burning smoke.

There was faction rivalry between the Thunderflame Faction and the Dark Variant Faction.

This time Zack Lockwood had been involved in continuous fights against the Dark Variant Faction’s members.

Everyone could tell that Zack Lockwood was being dragged into the faction rivalry as well.

The Outer Hall Elders had mixed emotions when it came to the faction rivalry.

Many geniuses had died in the faction fights.

Their Dean never stopped such fights from happening.

He wanted competition.

Only strong competition could develop a fierce warrior.

Only a few veteran elders were probably aware of why the Dean was doing this.

If they didn’t develop fierce warriors, they would die on another battlefield.

…

Dark Variant Faction: It didn’t take long for the news to reach Ronnie Seth as well.

He was shocked by the news.

Right now, he was preparing himself to enter the training facility.

But this news came out of nowhere.

“Stephen,” Ronnie Seth uttered in a solemn tone.

He had joined Star University long before Zack Lockwood, so he wasn’t too familiar with the name.

Senior Stephen is one of their hidden places in the Dark Variant Faction.

Like Stephen, there are a few warriors in the university who are waiting to get powerful, suitable Inheritance.

Even he wouldn’t dare to fight against such people.

Because their ranks might be the same, but their mastery of skills was different.

They had long perfected their own skills.

So if he went all out using the Black Lightning, the chances of defeat were there.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but think about Zack Lockwood.

He had considered Zack Lockwood his rival.

After winning the sacred fruit, he thought Zack Lockwood’s strength had increased further.

But he never expected a senior from his own faction to challenge Zack Lockwood.

At this time, he even began suspecting that this was about faction rivalry.

Zack Lockwood had become a target of the main elders and the faction leader.

He then immediately thought of the Virtual Training Lab.

The Virtual Training Lab was the only place where he could get duel information.

He immediately left the place and started going towards the Virtual Training Lab.

…

Virtual Training Lab: Old man Daniel was getting bored.

Only one or two random warriors came to their place to train.

When Zack Lockwood was here, The whole Star University talked about their Virtual Training Lab.

“Only that kid can save the Virtual Training Lab.

If he becomes a Black Mark Warrior and above, then the Virtual Training Lab would become more famous,” Old man Daniel said to himself.

Suddenly, one of the staff checking the social media posts saw the challenge post.

“Elder,” he abruptly stood up from his seat.

“Why are you yelling?” The old man was disturbed by his thoughts.

“Elder, there is breaking news!” “It’s about Zack Lockwood.” “He received a challenge letter again.” One by one, other staff stood up from their seats as well.

“What?” Old man Daniel blurted out of curiosity.

He collected his thoughts before asking, “Tell me what happened?” A female staff member stepped forward and said, “Elder, one of the hidden aces in the Dark Variant Faction, Stephen, has issued a challenge against Zack Lockwood.” “What?” Old man Daniel was dumbfounded.

He was just thinking about that kid.

The development and rise of the Virtual Training Lab depended on that kid.

Now his name has come into the spotlight again.

“Stephen,” Old man Daniel muttered.

His eyes turned solemn.

Because he knew there were people who were purposely not becoming Black Mark Warriors.

They were waiting for suitable Inheritance.

There are many inheritances, but a powerful suitable Inheritance can help warriors become Gold Mark Warriors.

“This Stephen must have mastered his skills.

It’s difficult to defeat him,” he said to the staff.

“Elder, Zack Lockwood consumed the sacred fruit.

His strength must be different than before,” a male staff member said.

Old man Daniel shook his head and said, “You are underestimating the skills.

He can fight for a longer time with mastered skills.

The output damage will be high.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.
