Chapter 1093: Tactics Fails!

From MC’s Perspective: Old man Clifford was amused by Zack Lockwood’s reaction.

He said, “The Dark Variant Faction released a new statement.

They have proposed a betting match again.

This time the bet is the Soul Calming Liquid.” “It can cure soul injuries of Black Mark Warriors and above,” he added.

Hearing that, my eyes flashed with a glint.

I have soul techniques as well.

So far, I have yet to come across anything that threatens my soul.

“Should I go for it?” I asked in my heart.

Then I immediately shook my head.

“Faction Leader, I don’t want to take the risk,” I replied straightforwardly.

Even though I know the reward is tempting, life is more important.

Clearly, the Dark Variant Faction has the idea of killing me.

So I won’t give them any chance.

“You are clever.

I thought you would be tempted,” Clifford said with a smile.

“You can rest assured.

As long as you stay inside the Thunderflame Faction, no matter what tactics the opponent uses, they won’t be able to succeed,” he added.

At this time, Austin added by saying, “Zack, your first priority is to reach the Peak Stage of the General Rank.” “Don’t think about other matters,” he added.

Hearing that, I nodded my head.

Then we talked about a few other things before both the Master and Faction Leader disappeared from the spot.

About a few minutes later, I returned to the residence.

But the things said by the Faction Leader were still in my head.

I didn’t expect the Dark Variant Faction to use the same tactics again.

Last time, it was Ronnie Seth.

So I had agreed to help with the duel.

But this time it was Senior Stephen.

No matter what they do, I won’t fall for their trick.

Meanwhile, The whole of Star University is waiting for Zack Lockwood’s response.

They don’t know whether Zack Lockwood would agree to the duel.

Now, the warriors who didn’t know about the Soul Calming Liquid earlier were able to find out about it because of the bet.

Everyone was tempted by the reward.

People were already kind of jealous that Zack Lockwood was able to get sacred fruit before.

Now he is getting one more chance as well.

They couldn’t help but feel even more envy.

But they didn’t know that Zack Lockwood wouldn’t be accepting the challenge duel.

…

The following day, Virtual Training Lab: Old Man Daniel and his staff entered their lab.

But they were all constantly discussing the bet.

“Soul Calming Liquid, huh?” “The Dark Variant Faction is really daring,” Old Man Daniel said to himself.

When he heard the news yesterday, he was shocked as well.

But he knew that Thunderflame Faction members wouldn’t fall for this trick again.

There is a huge power gap between Zack Lockwood and Stephen.

He hopes that Zack Lockwood will focus on his training rather than responding to provocations.

The staff who were discussing thought the same as well.

The actions of the Dark Variant Faction had angered many people.

But for the top 10 factions, they were quite used to it.

They didn’t care about the duel.

Each faction has their own rival.

Only the best warrior can get all the resources.

For someone to become the best warrior, they have to come out alive every time there is a faction war.

…

Thunderflame Faction: I walked out of the residence.

As usual, I started walking towards the Golden Lightning Palace.

On the way, I came across other warriors.

Upon seeing me, they nodded at me.

I nodded to them with a smile.

I felt the members were starting to become sympathetic towards me.

A few minutes later, I entered the Golden Lightning Palace.

I went straight towards the essence chamber.

The other members were taken aback by such a carefree attitude.

They thought Zack Lockwood really wasn’t interested in the bet.

…

Outer Hall: Hidden Ace Stephen started doing his daily training.

He couldn’t help but think about the duel bet.

His mood worsened.

He sat on the long bench before touching his forehead.

He never expected the Dark Variant Faction’s higher-ups to be this cruel, so much so that they had offered the Soul Calming Liquid as a reward for the winner.

When he first heard about it, he was shocked to the core.

So much so, he was tempted by it.

But later, he cooled down his head.

He knew the Thunderflame Faction’s Elders must be angry.

So far, he hadn’t attracted any hatred.

But if he went against Zack Lockwood voluntarily, then there is a possibility that the Thunderflame Faction would target him.

He knows about the faction war as well.

So he has decided to stay low-key.

As long as Zack Lockwood accepts the duel, then it’s fine.

He would fight on behalf of the Dark Variant Faction.

But he won’t go voluntarily looking for him.

…

Dark Shadow University: The Dark Shadow University is keenly following the movements of major forces, especially at the university level organization.

In recent days, the factions in the Dark Shadow University are getting to know about the Star University’s situation after learning that the faction war is going to take place there.

The Dark Shadow University has decided to start their own faction war as well.

The higher-ups who knew about Zack Lockwood were in a worse mood.

The Star University Dean, Jerome, is demanding answers from them.

Ever since that incident, they couldn’t contact Rupert, as if he had disappeared or was killed by someone.

Their shadow warriors returned from Star University as well.

But the higher-ups who were related to his failure were all demoted.

If they had succeeded in capturing Rupert earlier, they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Not only have they disappointed their dean, but they have also angered the Dean of Star University.

In such situations, hearing the news about Zack Lockwood didn’t make them feel good.

Some still harbored ill intentions towards Zack Lockwood.

…

Star University: A few weeks passed just like that, and the Dark Variant Faction’s tactics ended in failure.

There was no response to Stephen’s challenge letter.

Slowly, everyone forgot about the challenge.

But the Dark Variant Faction is still waiting for the right opportunity.

As long as Zack Lockwood leaves Star University, they would do something.

But others forgot about it and went back to their business.

Even the other top 10 factions forgot about it.

Especially their warriors who were involved in slandering Zack Lockwood online.

They stopped their activities and went back to continue their training.

Thunderflame Faction: The following day, I went to the Golden Lightning Palace.

The first thing I did was visit Master Austin’s residence.

I have been staying inside the Thunderflame Faction for the past few weeks.

I think it’s time for me to go out.

Creak!

“Zack, come inside,” Master Austin greeted me as I entered.

Hearing that, I walked inside his house.

“Take a seat,” Austin said.

Hearing that, I sat in the chair.

Then I asked, “Master, it’s been a few weeks.

I think it’s time for me to go out and do missions.” Austin was not surprised.

Rather, he and the other main elders were impressed by Zack Lockwood’s patience.

He had continued to stay inside the Thunderflame Faction for a few weeks.

So much so that people had forgotten about Stephen’s challenge.

“Zack, let me get permission from the Faction Leader first,” Austin said.

I nodded to him.

Then he contacted the Faction Leader right away.

A few minutes later, “He allowed you to leave.

But he wants you to make sure of your safety preparations,” After saying that, he took out a brand new sword sheathed in the scabbard.

“It’s a Grade-9 Weapon Artifact.

With this, you can even injure a Black Mark Warrior,” he added.

On the other hand, my heart raced.

It’s the first time for me to see a Grade-9 Artifact.

But I already have a sword with me.

Then I decided to accept his gift.

They bought it for my safety.

I accepted the gift before storing it inside the storage ring.

Then I thanked Master Austin.

I know how expensive a Grade-9 Artifact is.

It must be made by a master smith.

“So what type of mission do you want to do?” Austin asked.

“Master, this time, I want to do a mission where the location is not our territory,” I replied.

Austin’s eyes flickered.

He had to say he was surprised by the daring choice of his disciple.

If he faces any danger inside their territory, then they can rescue him faster.

But it can’t be said for foreign territory.

At the same time, he sees the cons of it.

If Zack Lockwood enters foreign territory, it would be difficult for the Dark Variant Faction to do something to him.

So his disciple has more chances of survival in foreign territory than in their own territory.

“Zack, it’s not like people don’t visit other territories.

We have visitors from other territories as well.

Instead of staying low-key, you should show your identity there.” “In that way, no one will target you,” Austin said.

Hearing that, I was surprised.

I thought he would advise me to stay low-key.
