Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137: Part 1: Zack vs Stephen

From MC’s Perspective:

Time passed.

Inside the room, one after another, the warriors left for their match. Eventually, it was the members’ turn. Senior Riley went to the duel platform. He fought against the blazing flame elemental faction warrior and defeated him.

As time passed, it was the turn of the other members. But they lost their duels, one after another. It was a great shock. I didn’t expect them to lose, but their opponents were full of trickery.

Especially Bethany and Craig matched up against the Dark Variant Faction. Their opponents were extremely strong. After fighting for an hour, they lost the duel. Lastly, Gareth lost the duel against the Human Bloodline Faction warrior.

The power shown by the Human Bloodline warrior shocked me as well. I had decided to use purple lightning against him if I faced him in the next round.

As time passed, the first round came to an end. The promising warriors from other factions advanced to the next round as well.

For example, Stephen and Ronnie Seth from the Dark Variant Faction advanced to the next round. Similarly, some of the talented warriors advanced to the next round as well.

Now, the sky had turned dark. It was nighttime. I thought that the second round would be held tomorrow, but to my surprise, no one left.

The Old Man was still standing outside the platform.

“The first round is over. The 60 warriors have advanced to the next round. It was Dean’s order that the second round will start in 30 minutes.”

“Those who advanced can stay in the room, and those who lost their duel should leave right away,” the Old Man’s voice reached everyone’s ears.

Gasp!

In the room, a small commotion occurred. The Thunderflame Faction members left the room. Only Senior Riley and I remained. Similarly, Stephen and Ronnie Seth from the Dark Variant Faction remained.

A few small and medium-sized factions completely lost their duels. Only the top 10 factions had at least one member standing.

The atmosphere was tense inside the room, especially with the hidden tension between the top 10 factions. I felt many gazes on me. I could tell that most of the warriors were wary of me.

Most of their gazes were filled with fear. Likely, they didn’t want to encounter me in the duel.

Time passed.

The 30-minute break was over.

Cheers!

The crowd erupted with loud cheers. They couldn’t wait for the second round to begin. The warriors were excited; most of the fan-favorite warriors were selected for the second round.

Zack Lockwood’s name especially gained more attention. They wanted to see whether Zack Lockwood could repeat the same method in the second round.

The Old Man appeared again. He looked around the arena before saying, “The second round starts!”

“Those whose images appear on the screen should step forward,” he added.

Cheers!

The outer hall warriors erupted in cheers again.

Next, the pictures started flashing on the screen. Finally, the first matchup was revealed. When everyone saw the matchup…

Gasp!

They sucked in a cold breath of air because the matchup was between Zack Lockwood and Stephen.

“It’s Zack Lockwood again!”

“The hidden ace Stephen is going to fight him!”

“He had challenged Zack Lockwood previously. Now his wish has come true.”

“What is Zack Lockwood going to do?”

The outer hall warriors began their discussion. They didn’t expect the challenge to appear again.

Gasp!

Inside the room, the warriors exclaimed in surprise. My mouth curved into an arc. If it was before, I would have hesitated, but not now.

I would show the power of the purple lightning to everyone.

Then I found Stephen’s gaze on me. Our eyes met.

“Last time, you ignored the duel. But this time, you are trapped. Let’s see how you are going to win against me,” Stephen said in a cold tone.

Hearing that, I smiled at him before leaving the room. I didn’t want to waste time talking. Stephen cracked a grin before leaving the room.

From the beginning to end, Senior Riley didn’t say anything. He knew about Zack Lockwood’s strength. He thought as long as Zack Lockwood used his purple lightning, the opponent would lose the fight.

A quick gleam flashed in Ronnie Seth’s eyes. He had failed to strike up a conversation with Zack Lockwood. Because of Stephen’s presence, he couldn’t do anything.

Already, there were people who thought he was friends with Zack Lockwood, but that wasn’t true. He thought of Zack Lockwood as a rival.

Meanwhile,

We arrived at the duel platform. I entered the platform and stood in my spot. Stephen stood opposite me.

Buzz!

The barrier began to cover the platform. I could tell that everyone was looking forward to the duel.

…

Viewing bloc 1:

“This kid has got first turn again. I wonder how long that Stephen kid can stick around,” Dean Jerome uttered.

Gasp!

Hearing that, some of the faction leaders were taken aback. They couldn’t help but look at Faction Leader Vince. Old Man Vince felt everyone’s gaze but didn’t react.

He had already decided not to comment against Dean Jerome, so he continued to stay silent. But others were not willing to.

“Vince, what are you thinking?” Jerome asked.

Hearing that, Old Man Vince shuddered. He immediately turned toward Dean Jerome.

“What’s on your mind?” Jerome asked.

“Dean, I think both have fair chances,” Vince replied.

The next second, he cursed himself.

“Oh,” Jerome uttered.

“Clifford, what do you think?” Jerome asked.

Old Man Clifford was stunned. He didn’t expect Dean to turn to him.

He said, “Dean, I think that kid Zack is going to win. He hasn’t shown his full strength yet.”

“Harumph,” Old Man Vince snorted. His eyes flashed with disdain. He had confidence in Stephen because he was an old student who had been practicing for years. His skills must be top-notch.

He didn’t believe that kid Zack Lockwood could withstand the attack from Stephen. So he believes Stephen is going to win the duel.
