Chapter 1165: Dean Jerome’s twist
From MC’s Perspective:

“Don’t worry, Dean. I won’t tell anyone,” I replied to Dean Jerome.

He trusts Zack Lockwood. Then the Dean turned towards Francesca Ball.

He said, “You can take him to your family. I hope his bloodline attribute is boiling water. It will save us from a lot of trouble.”

“Once you are done with your work, drop him at Star City. I’ll go and convince his faction leader and the main elders.” After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Francesca let out a deep sigh. She then turned towards Zack Lockwood.

She said, “You are lucky. If you become a Red Mark Warrior in the future, you can protect yourself. Until then, you have to be careful.”

After saying that, she grabbed Zack Lockwood’s shoulder before disappearing from the spot.

Swoosh!

She exited Star University in a flash. She is moving towards her home at breakneck speed.

On the other hand, my body is brushing against the fierce wind. I knew that I can’t match her speed; she is a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior.

…

Thunderflame Faction:

“What’s going on?”

“I got the message from the Dean saying that Zack was with him,” Faction Leader Clifford said to the others.

Main Elders Austin, Ann, Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were all present.

“I guess the Dean is discussing a serious matter with Zack,” Austin replied.

“Maybe it’s related to his inheritance,” Leola commented.

“You are right. I watched the Dean’s expression earlier. He seemed to have wanted to talk with Zack Lockwood. But because of the faction leaders, he didn’t say anything,” Cathy said.

“She is right!”

Dean Jerome’s voice sounded all of a sudden, stunning everyone. They all stood up from their seats, including Oldman Clifford, who stepped aside from the main seat.

Swoosh!

The next second, Dean Jerome appeared in front of them. He sat in the main seat, with Clifford standing beside him.

Quiet!

There was a pin-drop silence. Earlier, everyone had been casually chatting. They didn’t know that the Dean had heard every conversation.

“I took away Zack Lockwood this morning to discuss his inheritance,” Jerome said.

Hearing that, everyone felt curious. They wanted to hear from Zack Lockwood, but he was not there. Instead, Dean Jerome had come.

“I have verified his inheritance. It’s indeed an ancient inheritance, better than some of the known ones,” he added.

Phew!

Oldman Clifford heaved a sigh of relief.

Austin and the other main elders put their hearts at ease. If it was an ancient inheritance, then Zack Lockwood could reach Red Mark Rank without any problem.

That’s why everyone paid attention to the inheritance. Not only that, but every university attaches importance to a warrior who has an ancient inheritance; they treat them like an asset.

So everyone here thought that Zack Lockwood would be safe.

Jerome smiled and said, “I know what you guys are thinking. But it’s not that simple.”

“His ancient inheritance doesn’t belong to any of his three elements. Instead, he has accepted a new one—a variant of the water element.”

“Compared to other ancient water element inheritances, Zack Lockwood’s contains destructive properties, like a water bomb.”

“That’s why I took him early to check for any problems,” Jerome said in a serious tone.

Hearing that, everyone’s expression changed drastically. They had thought it would be a smooth journey, but they didn’t expect Zack Lockwood to have this kind of problem.

“Dean, what do you mean?”

“Don’t tell me he can’t use his purple lightning element anymore,” Austin asked all of a sudden.

He felt like a thunderclap had struck his ears. Everyone was happy that Zack Lockwood got an ancient inheritance. But if it’s not lightning, fire, ice, or healing, then he would be disconnected from the Thunderflame Faction.

“Dean, what about his healing element?” Ann also asked.

She had great expectations for Zack Lockwood because he was practicing one of her ancient healing techniques.

The ancient healing technique was incomplete, but the main chapter could provide special abilities upon successful practice.

The faces of Leola, Cathy, and Rosie changed as well. They didn’t expect such a twist to happen.

Jerome’s eyes flashed with a gleam.

“I don’t have any answers right now, but I’m going to look for a method to see whether he can integrate the water element with the others,” Jerome said to them.

If Zack Lockwood were here, he would be shocked to the core. He had no idea how Dean Jerome was protecting his secret with the information provided by him about his Ancient Shock Force Integration inheritance.

Faction Leader Clifford immediately replied, “Thank you so much, Dean.”

“Thank you, Dean!”

One after another, the main elders thanked Dean Jerome.

“It’s okay. I have given a task to Zack Lockwood to complete. He will return soon, so you guys can do your work.” After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

When Dean Jerome was gone, everyone sat back in their seats. They sighed in relief, knowing that the Dean would find some solution.

“No wonder the kid looked down yesterday,” Faction Leader Clifford said.

“It’s okay; as long as he has an ancient inheritance, everything else doesn’t matter. Only by becoming a Red Mark Warrior can he protect himself,” Austin said while accepting the facts.

“If the Dew Water Faction people learned about this news, they would be shocked to the core,” Leola commented.

“I’m not going to let him go. He still has a healing element. The healing technique he is practicing is an ancient internal method. It won’t interfere with the ancient inheritance,” Ann said all of a sudden.

Faction Leader Clifford asked, “Main Elder Ann, is it true?”

“Yes, Zack has successfully started practicing it. But it would take time for him to progress since he is focused on the other two elements,” Ann said.

“Phew!”

“Then we are saved. I don’t want the Dew Water Faction people to have Zack Lockwood,” Clifford said.

Hearing that, the others agreed. Austin sighed in relief.

Then he said, “Since the Dean is going to find a way, I’m going to search for techniques as well.”

“Don’t put pressure on yourself. Since the Dean has said it, that means he is 80% sure he will solve Zack Lockwood’s problem,” Faction Leader Clifford said to him.
