Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: Malicious rumors tactics Chapter 1090: Malicious rumors tactics From MC’s Perspective: When it was evening time, I left the essence chamber and started walking through the courtyard where other members were training.

Upon seeing me, they showed mixed reactions.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

In the morning, their gazes had been respectful, but now they were expressing concern.

But I didn’t have time to inquire.

I was feeling extremely tired, so I walked away from the place.

“Hey, Senior Brother Zack is going to face the toughest challenge.” “The Hidden Ace Stephen is not an ordinary warrior!” “I wonder what Brother Zack’s reply will be.” “I don’t think Brother Zack should accept the challenge.” “They are harboring ill intentions.” The warriors began discussing among themselves.

They didn’t dare to speak in front of Zack Lockwood.

On the other hand, I returned to the residence a few minutes later.

As usual, I went to take a shower.

The bath lasted for 20 minutes, and then I walked out and changed into comfortable clothes.

Then I immediately went to sleep.

…

The following day, Stephen was in his residence at the Dark Variant Faction.

It had been a day since he issued a challenge, but he had yet to receive any response from Zack Lockwood.

Not that he cared that much, but the main elder was interested in this.

After seeing the response to his challenge, he could tell that higher management didn’t want Zack to live.

Now they were using him to probe his strength.

He wouldn’t be defeated, but if the kid showed enough strength, he thought that the main elders would do something to kill Zack Lockwood.

Sigh!

A sigh escaped his mouth.

He didn’t want to get too involved in this matter.

After defeating that kid, he would return to his own life.

Meeting Hall: The Faction Leader, Vince, was looking at the other main elders.

The meeting was about their hidden ace Stephen’s challenge.

“Why isn’t there any news from the Thunderflame Faction?” Old Man Vince asked.

He had been getting angrier a lot lately, all because of one brat: Zack Lockwood.

“Leader, according to intel, that kid has locked himself inside the essence chamber.

He is only going to his residence to sleep,” one of the main elders replied.

“Oh,” Vince uttered.

He could tell that the Thunderflame Faction had figured out their intentions.

That was why they had not informed that kid.

Vince smiled.

At this point, the top 10 factions and other factions must have figured out his intentions as well.

But nothing was going to stop him right now.

Even the Dean couldn’t forcibly protect that kid.

Because of the faction rivalry, many geniuses had died.

That kid was like any other talented kid.

Until he completely grew up, he would have to face a series of challenges.

“Do one more thing.

Spread rumors that the kid is a coward.

He is not ready to face any challenges.

He is unworthy to be a disciple of the Purple Mark Elder.” “Let’s see how long that kid can hold back under the criticism,” Old Man Vince said in a cold tone.

Hearing that, the main elders shuddered.

Their faction leader was becoming more sinister.

He was treating their Star University Warrior with this hatred.

Then what would he do to his enemies?

The main elders didn’t want to oppose him, so they agreed.

…

Human Bloodline Faction: An hour later, Faction Leader Francesca Ball was in her office.

She was going through online news.

One of the best ways to know what was going on at their university was to search social media.

Her gaze immediately fell on the trending section.

She clicked it.

The next second, many news articles appeared one by one on the news feed.

But her gaze was attracted to one particular article that was currently trending in the number one spot.

When she read the article title fully, surprise flashed in her eyes.

It was an article about Zack Lockwood.

How could she forget that kid?

Ever since she saw him at the duel arena.

She felt a strange connection.

She didn’t know how to explain it.

Apart from the bloodline connection, she hadn’t felt other connections before.

With Zack Lockwood, she felt another connection for the first time.

After that incident, she had tried to come up with answers.

She had even looked into ancestral records, but she hadn’t found any information on this different connection.

After that search, she let go of it.

But she hadn’t expected to see the name again.

Out of curiosity, she clicked the article and began to read it.

A few minutes later, A look of understanding dawned on her.

She realized that the Dark Variant Faction was targeting that kid.

It was part of the faction war.

“It’s a pity that the kid is yet to become the Black Mark Warrior.

The chances of him dying are higher,” she said to herself.

…

Monster Bloodline Faction: The Faction Leader, Bethany Sutton, had the same reaction.

She found Zack Lockwood to be an interesting junior.

But she thought the same as Francesca Ball.

The fate of warriors who were dragged into the faction struggle wasn’t that good.

Not many people would be able to walk out of the faction struggle.

Bethany thought that Zack Lockwood had low chances of survival.

Unless that kid became a Black Mark Warrior somehow, he could extend his lifespan.

Otherwise, the Dark Variant Faction would continue to target him.

Normally, other factions could be involved in the faction rivalry.

They had feuds with a few elemental factions among the top 10 factions.

So she was not interested in targeting Zack Lockwood.

The Thunderflame and Dark Variant Factions had been rivals from the beginning.

She didn’t want to offend another faction unnecessarily.

….

The rumors about Zack Lockwood began to spread across Star University, especially in the Outer Hall Area.

All the warriors were taken aback by the news.

But they were not stupid.

They could see that someone was maliciously spreading the rumors.

Many knew that the challenge had been unfair to begin with.

How could a hidden ace issue a challenge against a newcomer?

It was like hitting an egg with a stone.

There was no comparison at all.

Most of the Outer Hall warriors thought that Zack Lockwood wouldn’t be able to win against Stephen.

Even those who identified as supporters of Zack Lockwood had the same reaction.

They didn’t know about Zack Lockwood’s current strength, but they too knew it was too difficult to win in this duel.

So they were not going to judge if Zack Lockwood didn’t accept the challenge, whereas the warriors from other top 10 factions were making fun of Zack Lockwood.

This matter had nothing to do with them.

Yet they were slandering Zack Lockwood.

They wanted to know Zack Lockwood’s strength and wanted to fight against him next.

But if Zack Lockwood didn’t want to, then they could only wait.

…

Thunderflame Faction: “Damn, this is too much!” “Someone is intentionally doing this.” “They are going to force Senior Brother Zack to accept the duel.” “Not only are they making fun of him, but they are also making fun of the Thunderflame Faction.” The warriors were discussing it seriously.

Everyone could see the hateful articles online.

They could tell that someone was fueling it from behind.

The disciples of the main elders had seen it as well.

They thought that the Dark Variant Faction wouldn’t give up like this.

Golden Lightning Palace: The members were already showing concern.

Now this online slandering has pissed them off.

They could see that other factions among the Top 10 rankings had joined in as well.

Most importantly, elemental faction warriors were sharing the articles.

The members had noted down their names.

In the future, if they came across these warriors, they wouldn’t hesitate to teach them a lesson.

Inside the residence, Austin’s eyes reddened in anger.

He could see that old man Vince had gone senile.

He was completely after his disciple, Zack Lockwood.

If he wanted to protect his disciple, then he had to protect him from all kinds of attacks as well.

So far, he could tell that Zack Lockwood hadn’t seen the challenge.

If he had seen that challenge, he would have come to discuss it with him.

But right now, Zack Lockwood was busy training inside the essence chamber.

He hoped that Zack Lockwood wouldn’t pay attention to the news at all.

Meanwhile, Inside the essence chamber, after practicing the lightning method, I decided to switch to the ancient healing method.

But before that, I decided to take a rest.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check the online news.

I accessed the site and saw many articles.

Most importantly, the articles were all about me.

“What’s going on?” I asked myself.

Then I picked a random article and began to read it.

A few minutes later, My eyes flashed with murderous intention.

I didn’t even know who and when he challenged me.

Now this article was saying that I was a coward for not accepting the challenge.

Clearly, someone was behind it.

Why were they doing this?

I decided to read the remaining articles.
