Chapter 1114: Thunderflame Faction: 5th Main elder, Rosie
Dark Variant Faction:

The group that had spotted Zack Lockwood in the infirmary had returned. They immediately informed their main elders. It didn’t take long for the main elders to verify the news.

A while ago, some warriors had seen Zack Lockwood going to the infirmary.

Now it was confirmed that Zack Lockwood had returned. The main elders had decided to inform their Faction Leader.

Old man Vince, who was in seclusion, was informed. After knowing that the brat had returned, his eyes flashed with icy coldness.

From the beginning, he had been getting defeated at the hands of a warrior who had not even touched the Black Mark Rank.

Earlier, they had a great chance to end that kid’s life in Dark Shadow University’s territory. He was the one who told his spies to share information with their people.

But even after receiving the information, the Dark Shadow University people weren’t able to do anything. He decided to inquire about this matter now.

Shortly afterwards,

He returned to the main hall where all the main elders were waiting for him.

Vince sat in the main seat. He swept his gaze across everyone before asking, “So where is he?”

“What is he up to?”

One of the main elders stepped forward.

“Leader, that kid went to the infirmary to see someone. But he was seen with some girl. That girl was not wearing the uniform of Star University,” he said.

“Oh,” old man Vince raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He felt curious. He then asked the others to visit the infirmary to find out the news.

Then he left the main hall. He wanted to go back to his office. Next, he was going to contact a few of his fellows in Dark Shadow University.

He wanted to know what had happened on their side.

…

From MC’s Perspective:

A few minutes earlier,

I told Main Elder Leola that I was not well. In fact, both Carla and I were still in shock about the incident.

“Don’t worry, the problem has been solved,” Leola said with a smile.

Her words fell on Clara’s ears as well.

She immediately asked, “What happened?”

Her master was fine. The next big thing troubling her was their situation.

This time, Austin stepped into their conversation to explain.

“Dean Jerome has given permission for them to join us. Hereafter, Elder Rosie will be the 5th Main Elder of the Thunderflame Faction.”

“Clara will be her 1st disciple,” he added.

Gasp!

Clara exclaimed in surprise first. Even Rosie showed the same expression when she heard it for the first time. She thought Dean Jerome wouldn’t allow outsiders to be part of Star University.

But she later realized that the Dean of Star University was thinking about the big picture. When it came to the big picture, the conflict between the two universities was nothing.

“What?” I uttered in disbelief.

I had been dreaming about it. But I never expected it to happen.

“Are you surprised?” Leola asked.

“Yes,” I replied.

“She has saved your life. Dean Jerome has great expectations from you. If you had died, it would have been a great loss to both our university and the Thunderflame Faction,” Leola said solemnly.

Hearing that, I felt grateful to Dean Jerome. Everyone was safe because of the Red Mark Warrior Ring on my finger. If he hadn’t given me this treasure, it would have been impossible for me to escape from such situations.

“Zack, there is one more thing you need to know. The Faction Leader wanted to tell you this. You have to become a Black Mark Warrior Rank soon,” Austin said in a solemn tone.

Hearing that, I was stunned. Not long ago, I had reached General Rank—Early Stage in both body and essence. There were still two small bases left before reaching the peak.

Austin saw confusion on his disciple’s face.

“I know what you are worried about. The resources arrangement will be made. But you can’t waste your time anymore,” Austin said.

A look of realization dawned on me.

“Then I’m leaving,” I said to him before nodding at the others.

Then I left the room and started walking back toward the exit.

“You are harsh on him,” Main Elder Cathy said. She had been silent throughout the conversation, but she felt Austin was being unfair.

Sigh!

“It can’t be helped. This kid should have a sense of urgency. We failed to protect him. The ring saved his life. I don’t know how he would escape something like this next,” Austin voiced his concern.

Hearing that, everyone’s face became dull. It’s true that they were weak when it comes to fighting against a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior.

“I think this kid will surprise us soon. The secret land might be his biggest opportunity. I hope he will get some benefits,” Leola said solemnly.

After learning about the secret land, Elder Cathy had also sent an emergency request to her disciples. Everyone would be on their way to the university.

“Hey, what happened to Main Elder Ann?”

“Where is she?” Cathy asked.

“She has gone to meet a few of her connections. She wanted to collect healing resources,” he said.

Hearing that, Cathy and Leola understood. From the beginning, Main Elder Ann was the one who was advocating for Zack Lockwood to become a Black Mark Warrior first.

This incident must have strengthened her resolve.

“She was right from the beginning. I’m going to do my part as well,” Austin said.

He had already received some news about the Purple Lightning Resources. He thought that with resources in hand, it wouldn’t be a problem for his disciple to reach the Peak Stage of General Rank in both body and essence.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll ask my contact to look for the resources as well,” Rosie’s voice sounded at this time.

Hearing this, Austin and the others were surprised.

“You don’t have to do it,” he refuted.

“What?”

“I’m the 5th Elder of the Thunderflame Faction. I can do it. On top of that, I’m grateful to Zack Lockwood. He has saved me and my disciple’s lives. At least, I can do this,” Rosie said firmly.

“Alright, she is our 5th Main Elder. You can get her help,” Leola supported her.

Cathy nodded as well. Since everyone was united on this issue, Austin accepted her help.

Meanwhile,

I returned to the Thunderflame Faction. I immediately encountered a group of members. Everyone was sizing me up from head to toe.

“Zack Lockwood, who is that girl?”

A female warrior from the Ice and Fire Palace asked.

“Which girl?” I asked back.

“You are lying. We have seen the photos of you online,” the female warrior said.

“Senior, I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said, and after saying that, I walked past her. In the blink of an eye, I left the place.

“Damn it!”

“Has he become arrogant?”

“Why don’t we teach him a lesson?”

A group of warriors commented. They forgot about Zack Lockwood’s identity.

“Bah!”

“He is the 6th disciple of Main Elder Austin. If you offend him, you will be beaten by his senior brothers and sisters.”

Gasp!

“We almost forgot about it.”

Because of someone’s reminder, the group of warriors came back to their senses. They immediately left the place.

Shortly afterwards,

I came back to my residence. After entering inside, I locked the door. Then I went to take a bath. The bath lasted for 20 minutes.

Then I changed into comfortable clothes before lying in bed to take a nap. When I was telling Main Elder Leola that I hadn’t slept well last night, it was true. So I decided to sleep well before thinking about the next plan.

…

Dark Variant Faction:

Two hours later,

Faction Leader Vince was in his office. His old face was full of shock and disbelief. Cold sweat beads covered his forehead. He didn’t even know when they had appeared.

He gently wiped his forehead before muttering, “So Dean Jerome is fully supporting the kid.”

He knew what had happened now. He had heard from the fellows of Dark Shadow University.

The Thunderflame Faction people had gone there to rescue that kid. Not only had three of them gone there, but they also brought a treasure from Dean Jerome for safety.

Unexpectedly, one of their faction leaders had intervened to stop them. But he had been attacked and injured by Dean Jerome’s treasure. That faction leader was undergoing treatment right now.

Later, they brought the kid back safely to Star University. Also, he knew the identity of the girl beside Zack Lockwood.

She was the disciple of one of their Main Elders, Rosie. It was because of her and her disciple that Zack Lockwood was able to escape and even got rescued by the Thunderflame Faction members.

“Hateful,” he gritted his teeth in anger.

But somewhere in his heart, he was happy as well. Because until now, he hadn’t known the plans of Dean Jerome. So he had been acting on his own plan. Now that he knew Dean Jerome supported Zack Lockwood, he had to be careful.
