Chapter 1116: The announcement and the silent voices!
From MC’s Perspective:

I stepped out of the essence chamber an hour later, seeing that it was already nighttime and few people were practicing here.

I decided to come back tomorrow since I have resources with me now. There is no need to worry about anything else.

Shortly afterwards, I exited the Golden Lightning Palace and started walking back to the residence. Soon, I got there.

After entering, I locked the door. Then I went to take a bath. I spent 20 minutes in the bath before stepping out and changing into comfortable clothes.

The news of the secret land is a good sign for me, as the Faction Leader told me. It is a good place to increase my strength.

After collecting my thoughts, I lay down in my bed.

…

The following day,

After getting out of bed, I began my morning routine. It took me more than an hour to get ready. Just as I stepped out of my residence, I saw someone standing at the entrance, waiting for me. When I got closer, I realized the person was Clara.

“Clara,” I called out.

Hearing that, Clara turned around and looked at Zack Lockwood.

“I heard you will be practicing in seclusion until the secret land opens up,” she said.

Hearing that, I nodded to her.

“Good, your strength is weak right now. You should become a Black Mark Warrior soon,” she added.

Hearing that, I was about to speak when I noticed her uniform and badge. She was wearing the Star University uniform and Thunderflame Faction badge.

“Has the announcement been made?” I asked her.

Clara noticed Zack Lockwood’s gaze and found that he was looking at her Thunderflame Faction badge.

“Yes, it was done yesterday. Now the whole Star University knows that my master and I are part of the Thunderflame Faction.”

“My master is the new 5th Main Elder, and I’m her disciple,” she revealed with a smile on her face.

I was surprised and relieved at the same time. Now, no one can bother me about her identity. Then I continued to talk to her.

5th Main Elder Rosie has her own palace and residence now. Clara is staying with her. After speaking for a few more minutes, we parted ways.

She has her own training with her master as well.

Soon, I reached the Golden Lightning Palace. I thought about meeting Master Austin, but he was not here.

Then I thought he had yet to come back from collecting resources. Normally, I should be the one looking for my resources.

But here, everyone is working to help me. I can only repay them by reaching the ranks of the Black Mark Warrior soon.

Then I went to the essence chamber facility.

Dark Variant Faction:

The Faction Leader Vince was in a bad mood since yesterday. The Thunderflame Faction has added one more Main Elder, a person from the Dark Shadow University.

When the news was announced, the whole Star University was shocked to the core. The details were not disclosed, but he knew the details.

Not only that, some of the Faction Leaders went to the Dean to complain, but they were told to leave. It’s a decision taken by Dean Jerome. No one can change his mind.

They left reluctantly. Some of them had sought his help, but even he couldn’t do anything in this regard. They didn’t know about the incident that happened at Shadow Border City.

If they had known, their reactions would have been different. On top of that, he has a direct or indirect link to the incident. Vince worries that Dean Jerome might have known about his involvement.

Because he was the one who leaked the news about Zack Lockwood to the Dark Shadow University Elders. If the matter comes to light, he won’t be able to escape scrutiny.

So he had rejected the faction leaders from helping them out. His actions had surprised everyone. People thought he would use this problem to stir up trouble, but nothing like that happened.

What’s more? He has ordered the main elders and faction members to stop their actions against that kid, Zack Lockwood.

Since he knows that Dean Jerome is supporting that kid now, he decides to stay low-key. The Main Elders were all shocked, but they obeyed his words in the end.

Meanwhile,

The addition of the new main elder to the Thunderflame Faction has caused different reactions among the top 10 Factions.

Many of them didn’t care, while others worried about the increase in strength of the Thunderflame Faction. This news is shaking up the main elders of the various Factions.

On the other hand, their warriors were up to something else.

After knowing that Zack Lockwood had returned from the mission, many of the warriors were interested in fighting against him. The General Rank Warriors especially wanted to have a duel with him.

But they knew that for their plan, they needed the support of their faction. The Dark Variant Faction had used treasure items for the bet, yet Zack Lockwood didn’t fall for that.

So they were worried about how to make their wish successful.

Then someone mentioned targeting the other members of the Thunderflame Faction. If they continued to do that day by day, then their members would be forced to seek help from Zack Lockwood.

Everyone accepted that this method was feasible. Because they didn’t have the support of the faction, they didn’t have any treasures to make any bets. They could only follow this old method.

Those who devised the plans were from the Elemental Factions. After confirming their plan, they began to act.

The Elemental warriors from each of their factions went to disturb the General Rank Warriors of the Thunderflame Faction.

At first, the argument that started from the exchange of words quickly turned into a duel. The Outer Hall Warriors who were watching weren’t surprised.

The challenges and arguments happened every day, so they didn’t pay attention to it. But they didn’t know.

The General Rank Warriors from the other Elemental Factions were troubling the General Rank Warriors of the Thunderflame Faction at the same time.

Since it was day one, no one noticed their actions.

…

A few days passed by,

Both Main Elder Austin and Ann returned to the University after completing their trip. Both of them collected resources for their disciple, Zack Lockwood.

After learning from other main elders that Zack Lockwood was spending most of his time in the essence chamber, they were relieved.

They were glad to know it was their Faction Leader who provided their disciple with resources.

Thunderflame Faction Main Hall:

“The resources in his hands must have motivated him,” Austin said with a smile.

“I was able to get good healing resources. Maybe his healing technique will improve further,” Ann commented.

She was smiling as well because she was able to get rare healing resources. It was so rare you can’t even buy them on normal days.

Yet she was able to get them, so she was happy in her heart.

The Faction Leader Clifford was present as well. The rest of the main elders were all talking and laughing. Only 5th Main Elder Rosie looked a bit confused.

She didn’t know about Zack Lockwood’s three elements because the ring on Zack’s finger blocks prying eyes. Old man Clifford noticed her expression.

“What’s wrong, Elder Rosie?” he asked.

Hearing that, everyone turned toward her.

“It’s just that I was confused about something,” Rosie replied.

“What is it?”

“You can ask about it,” Austin said.

Main Elders Leola and Cathy were looking at her as well.

“So, when did Zack Lockwood become a healer?” Rosie asked.

Hearing that, everyone was taken aback. Then everyone understood her confusion. They couldn’t help but turn toward their Faction Leader, Clifford.

Old man Clifford’s mouth twitched. To be honest, he didn’t know whether it was okay to share this news with her. Then he thought about something important.

Since she has become part of their faction and holds the position of 5th Main Elder, she deserves to know the truth.

“Okay, Main Elder Rosie. Since you are our 5th Main Elder, you should know confidential information. This was something known to our main elders, me, and Dean Jerome.”

“The information should not be leaked outside, including to your disciple,” old man Clifford said in a serious tone.

Hearing that, Rosie’s face changed drastically.

“Zack Lockwood is a user of three elements: Purple Lightning, Blood, and Healing,” he added.

“What?” Rosie blurted out in shock and surprise.

Her reaction was expected, and others were not surprised. They felt the same inner shock when they heard about Zack Lockwood’s three elements.

Rosie was truly terrified in her heart. Zack Lockwood had already shown his potential because of the Purple Lightning. To think that kid has two more elements, she didn’t know what to say.

Now she understood why everyone was protective of that kid, including Dean Jerome.

She realized that Zack Lockwood had a good chance of getting a powerful inheritance that could help him become a Purple Mark Warrior easily.
