Chapter 1117: Body-General Rank- Mid Stage (Breakthrough)
Thunderflame Faction:

Elder Rosie came to terms with reality. She was shocked by Zack Lockwood’s real talent. Only then did she understand why the Dean of Star University was so protective of that kid.

She saw not only the dean but the whole Thunderflame Faction looking after that kid. However, she was aware of the real danger as well. Like in any other place, Star University has internal politics too.

If the hostile factions learned about that kid’s talent, they might try to kill him. So she listened to the faction leader’s words.

When the meeting was over, Main Elder Austin and Ann went to the Golden Lightning Palace to give resources to Zack Lockwood.

It didn’t take long for them to meet and give the resources to him. Then both Austin and Ann returned to their residences. So many things were happening at the university.

They didn’t want to disturb Zack Lockwood with other matters.

Meanwhile,

The warriors from the elemental factions were doing their work. It had been several days since they started targeting the warriors of the Thunderflame Faction.

They didn’t know that the Dark Variant Faction had started to stay low-key. Their faction leader ordered everyone not to target Zack Lockwood anymore.

This news was kept confidential, but other factions didn’t know about it. They thought the Dark Variant Faction was still causing problems for the Thunderflame Faction.

Especially the warriors from the Dazzling Gold Faction and the Cutting Silver Faction were the ones causing the most trouble.

Earlier, they had been operating quietly, but their actions were exposed as the days went by. Their main elders and faction leaders found out about their activities.

But they didn’t stop. The faction leaders of the Dazzling Gold and Cutting Silver were annoyed by the recent developments.

They were especially dissatisfied with the appointment of the new elder to the Thunderflame Faction. The Thunderflame Faction was already strong to begin with.

Now, with the addition of a main elder, As a faction, they had become stronger as well. Those who could become main elders were stronger than the average Purple Mark Warrior.

Even though other factions had their miscellaneous elders who were Purple Mark Warriors, they were nowhere near as strong as the main elders.

That’s why the two faction leaders were frustrated and jealous of the Thunderflame Faction, they had turned a blind eye to this incident.

Since then, their conflicts began to increase. This had become a daily occurrence. Those who could become members of the top 10 factions were always strong.

The members of the Thunderflame Faction were Lightning, Fire, and their variant elemental users.

Most of them emerged as winners in conflicts. Yet this daily occurrence had become a nuisance at some point.

Two days went by,

It didn’t take long for news to reach the ears of the old man Clifford and the other main elders.

When they began to investigate the incident, they learned that the incident had started several days ago. Now it has become a daily occurrence.

In the main hall, Old Man Clifford and the others were seated.

“I didn’t expect the old problem to be gone and a new one to appear,” Old Man Clifford said with a sigh.

Ann, Cathy, Rosie, Leola, and Austin were seated in their places. Their expressions grew serious.

“The disciples are returning. If they learn about this incident, they might attack the elemental factions,” Austin said, his tone serious.

“Well, the Dark Variant Faction has become silent all of a sudden. It’s just the elemental factions causing problems. Let it be training for the members before the secret land opens up,” Faction Leader Clifford said.

Hearing that, everyone agreed with the faction leader’s opinion.

“Good, what’s your disciple doing?”

“It’s been a couple of days since he got the resources. Has he said anything about the breakthrough?” Clifford asked.

Hearing that, everyone turned towards Austin.

Austin shook his head and replied, “Zack didn’t say anything. I think he is practicing three methods, so it will take time for him to break through.”

“It’s okay, as long as he breaks through before the secret land opens. Then it’s good,” Clifford said.

Then they discussed a few other matters before ending the meeting.

…

From MC’s Perspective:

Essence chamber,

It’s been a couple of days since I received the resources. I had thought the next breakthrough would be easy, but my body is devouring the natural resources like crazy.

However, there was no sign of a breakthrough whatsoever.

But one good thing, though: I could feel the growing strength in my body. Whether it’s my body or essence, both are becoming strong.

In my body, the red skeleton has become more threatening and menacing. Meanwhile, in essence, the purple lightning has grown stronger because of the growth of the purple lightning seed in my dantian.

On top of that, the ancient healing method practice is going well as well. But I don’t know why I have this feeling that today will be good.

Then I looked at my storage ring and took out a wild orange-colored fruit. The scent coming from this fruit is refreshing. I don’t know the name of the fruit, but the craving coming from my bones tells me that it’s good for physique improvement.

After glancing at the oval-shaped fruit, I ate it in one go. The juice filled my stomach. I could feel a huge craving from my bones. Without further ado, I closed my eyes and started running the blood element method.

The blood energy from the world energy that filled the chamber began entering my body as well. Along with the wild fruit energy, I started to circulate them inside my body.

Then the blood light above the bloodstream appeared. It began to convert these two types of energy into the mysterious white energy.

This white energy then began drilling into my red bones. The runes hidden in the bones were absorbing the incoming energies. I could feel the improvement again.

But I didn’t know whether the energy was enough to satisfy the hunger. Then only I could feel the next limit. As time passed, I almost gave up hope.

Yet I felt the limit an hour later. It was the limit to the mid-stage of the General Rank. The hope in my heart was reignited. I continued my practice.

Time passed,

When it was nighttime, I felt the barrier breaking apart. Taking this opportunity, I ate one more treasure fruit and continued with the blood element method.

As time went on, the cracks started to expand.

Click!

[Physique – General Rank – Mid Stage]

At one point, the barrier was blasted away by a torrent of energy. Then the new flood of energy started to surge through my bones. I could feel my bones strengthening at a rapid rate.

Which in turn strengthened my flesh, meridians, veins, and inner organs as well.

The hidden runes in my bones became darkened. My dark red skeleton had become stronger than before. I felt I could even hurt a Black Mark Warrior.

I knew this was just a fleeting feeling. I’m not going to underestimate the Black Mark Warriors who have inheritance powers with them.

As time passed, the process came to an end. Then I continued to run the blood element method to stabilize my new base.

About two hours later,

I stopped practicing after feeling that the new strength was stable. I opened my eyes and looked at my condition. The impurities covering my body were less.

I had been consuming resources for the past couple of days. Many times, the impurities were cleansed from my body. It’s normal that I don’t have huge impurities after a breakthrough.

Then I stood up and decided to leave. I had decided to tell the Master about my breakthrough tomorrow. It was already close to midnight, and everyone must be asleep.

Then I turned off the essence chamber function. The world energy disappeared, and the room returned to normal. After doing that, I walked outside.

Seeing that no one was around, I started to leave. Just as I reached the exit, I saw someone exiting before me. The person appeared to be a new face. When I walked out of the Golden Lightning Palace,

I saw that the person had disappeared.

“Strange?”

“What’s a member doing here at midnight?” I asked myself.

Then I collected my thoughts before walking back toward my residence. I quickly reached my place. After entering the room, I locked the door and went to take a bath.

I spent 20 minutes there before stepping out. Then I changed into comfortable clothes before looking at myself in the mirror.

Boom!

I clenched my right fist, and a burst of shock force appeared.

The shock force swept across the room, shaking the items, chairs, tables, and window curtains.

Seeing that, my mouth curved into an arc. I’m feeling satisfied with my Mid-Stage, General Rank Body Strength.

Next, I can focus on the purple lightning essence.
