Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131: Craig and Gareth!

From MC’s Perspective:

Looking at the ice covering my body, I felt it was important to make a decision. According to the Faction Leader, there is no need to take this duel seriously.

Since he has a way to force me, I can only allow him so that he can participate in the duel tomorrow.

Boom!

A flash of purple lightning appeared before my eyes, shattering and destroying the ice blocks.

Gasp!

The warriors around the platform cheered, especially the warriors from the Ice and Fire Palace.

“He went easy on him,” Bethany said in her heart.

“He…He…He… The Faction Leader’s scolding worked on him,” Riley laughed in his heart.

Everyone could see the result. It happened because of the Faction Leader’s scolding.

“Cough!”

Faction Leader Clifford coughed to draw attention. He was impressed by the warrior named Craig and thought that the Ice and Fire Palace got a decent warrior this time.

“Craig is the winner of the duel!”

“Who is going to come next?” he said.

Hearing that, Craig smiled before exiting the duel platform.

The main elders all had smiles on their faces. The event was going well so far. The top warriors had been selected without a doubt, but they still wanted to see if anyone was hidden among their warriors.

Swoosh!

A person hurriedly entered the platform. He was not that great, but he had the strength of Mid-Stage General Rank.

Gasp!

“Gareth!”

“What is he up to?”

“He doesn’t belong to any of the palaces. He is like our general member!”

The warriors exclaimed in surprise. Those who knew him were discussing in low tones. But this time, everyone was disappointed. Even the Peak General Stage Warriors felt the difficulty.

Then how could a Mid General Rank Warrior force Zack Lockwood? Everyone was chatting and laughing.

But the burly warrior was indifferent to everyone’s conversation.

I walked up to the previous position and looked at the warrior in front of me. Everyone was making fun of him, but I could feel the fighting intent in his eyes.

He really wanted to defeat me so that he could join the others.

Meanwhile,

Faction Leader Clifford and the main elders were all surprised. They thought someone from their palace would show up again.

But they never expected someone from the General to appear. It’s not that they were weak, but their benefits were weaker compared to the palace members.

So there was a difference in strength between them, naturally.

“What’s his name?” Clifford asked.

The main elders didn’t know about him either.

Swoosh!

An elder made an appearance. He was a purple mark warrior, among the elders who took care of the general members.

He and others had been watching the duel from a distance. Upon hearing the Faction Leader’s question, he arrived.

“Leader, his name is Gareth. He has defeated a few palace members of the Elemental Faction,” he revealed the news.

“Oh,” Clifford raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He thought the warrior named Gareth was a hidden gem.

“It’s not a bad record. It’s not easy to defeat palace members. Why haven’t I heard of him before?” Austin asked.

“It’s good that warriors are showing up instead of hiding. We can discuss their matters later,” Leola said from the side.

The other main elders agreed. They wanted to see more warriors who were hidden deeply.

“Start the duel!”

Clifford’s voice reached everyone’s ears.

Inside the platform, Gareth smiled. He could hear the conversation between the elders. Now he thought it was the right time to show his edge.

Swoosh!

He rushed out toward Zack Lockwood to attack. He was not using any elemental moves. From his burly body, it was evident to others.

They immediately thought Gareth was going to try out his brute strength.

Meanwhile,

My mouth curved into an arc. I didn’t know why, but I felt something strange about my opponent’s body. I could feel a reaction from my red bones. It was reacting to something.

It hadn’t happened before, so I started to observe Gareth’s movements with my perception.

Swoosh!

Gareth moved forward with a furious punch. His fist movement was creating a tearing sound in the air.

Seeing that, I decided to block the blow with my bare hands.

Boom!

When I blocked his fist, I immediately felt the recoil force. The shockwave swept away the surroundings. I remained standing in the same spot.

Meanwhile, Gareth widened his eyes in disbelief. He knew about his own body strength. How could a Lightning Warrior stop him?

Boom!

He then began to throw continuous punches at me.

At the same time, I was using my perception to deflect his blows. While doing that, I was beginning to understand brute strength.

The conclusion made my heart stir. If I was right, this guy was practicing a body method as well. His blows were really carrying weight beyond his rank.

If it were others, their bones would have broken, but I was different. Even without using the red blood energy, I could defeat him. But it would expose my body strength as well.

Boom!

A purple lightning flash appeared before my eyes. A tiny bolt struck his fist.

Argh!

A muffled grunt escaped Gareth’s mouth before he stopped attacking.

But the purple lightning made him forget about the pain. He showed a gleeful smile on his face and didn’t even think anything strange about Zack Lockwood’s abnormal body strength.

Zack Lockwood had blocked his fist just like that. Gareth didn’t have time to think about this at all; his attention shifted to the balcony.

“Gareth wins the duel,” Faction Leader Clifford said with a smile.

The other members had knowing smiles on their faces. They knew why Zack Lockwood had stopped attacking and revealed a purple lightning.

Gasp!

The warriors below were dumbfounded. It was much earlier than before. They thought Zack Lockwood gave up sooner.

Even Riley, Bethany, and Craig were stunned. They understood Zack Lockwood’s mindset by now. As long as they could prove themselves, he would give up.

But they didn’t see anything extraordinary in Gareth, who was a Mid-Stage General Rank Warrior.

The warriors around the platform were discussing it as well.

Only the Purple Mark Elder had a smile on his face. He knew about Gareth’s strength. Gareth exited the platform without looking at Zack Lockwood.

Looking at his back, I didn’t know what to say. I had underestimated the Thunderflame Faction. There were strong warriors lurking here.

These people were in the same category as the hidden ace Stephen of the Dark Variant Faction. But these warriors didn’t have titles.

But Stephen had one. I wondered what made him deserving of that title. A hint of seriousness flashed in my eyes.

“Another surprise,” Leola commented.

“I wonder if his element and body method are one,” Austin added.

“It must be his opportunity. It’s good that our faction has such lucky warriors,” Clifford said with a smile.

He was worried about tomorrow’s matchup. Other than Zack Lockwood, he had no hope for the others, but he had changed his mind.

The four new warriors had brightened his mood.

“Let’s continue with the duel,” Clifford said.

Time passed.

After Gareth, a few more warriors went to challenge, but they were all defeated by Zack Lockwood. It didn’t take long for the challenges to come to an end.

“Zack, Riley, Bethany, Craig, and Gareth. Five of you will participate in tomorrow’s event. Go and take rest,” Clifford said.

Hearing that, I nodded before leaving the place. There were still injuries on my skin.

I decided to heal myself first. There was no need to look for healers. The ancient healing method would do the trick.

A few minutes later,

I returned to my residence. The Faction Leader and main elders had gone to the main hall for discussion. The appearance of four new warriors had surprised everyone.

Because they were not the disciples of the main elders. Among the main elders’ disciples, I was the one below the Black Mark Rank.

I couldn’t help but wonder. If our faction had such hidden warriors, then what about other factions? Especially the Dark Variant Faction. They must have more.

I already knew about Ronnie Seth and hidden ace Stephen. It would be interesting if they had more warriors like them.

Then I began to ponder about the Bloodline Factions. I had had the least interactions with the warriors from the two Bloodline Factions.

They had never bothered me. But that doesn’t mean I would go easy on them. Normally, the bloodline warriors should be stronger than everyone.

They got their power from the Bloodline. But the Thunderflame Faction and the Dark Variant Faction were getting the limelight.

I wondered whether they were deliberately hiding their edge. More importantly, there were other medium and small-sized factions.

These factions were formed by strong warriors. Even their backgrounds were not comparable to the top 10 factions. They must have one or two strong warriors below the Black Mark Warrior.

I believe everything will be revealed tomorrow.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to take some rest.

Meanwhile,

The news began to spread across the whole Thunderflame Faction. Even those who were in isolated training learned about it.
