Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 942

Chapter 942: Dark Shadow University Chapter 942: Dark Shadow University From MC’s Perspective: I took a deep breath and made the call to Teacher Lowell.

As I listened to the ringing tone, I felt the familiar stir of nerves in my chest.

Then the line connected, and the sound of his voice came through, steady and reassuring as ever.

“Zack, what happened?” he asked, a tone of concern coloring his words.

A smile tugged at my lips.

His voice had that effect on me-grounding and steadying my thoughts.

I began to explain slowly, recounting the events that had brought me to this moment.

As I spoke, I could almost hear the gears turning in his mind, processing every detail with that sharp intellect of his.

A few minutes passed before the silence was broken by the unmistakable sound of his laughter-rich, full, and full of joy.

“Ha…Ha…Ha!” His laughter echoed through the line, and I couldn’t help but feel a weight lift from my shoulders.

“Zack,” he began, his voice softening with nostalgia, “when I first saw you in that remote town, that barren outpost on the edge of nowhere, I knew you weren’t just another frog in a well.” His words took me back to that fateful day-when I was just a boy with big dreams trapped in a forgotten corner of the world.

“Not only have you come out of that outer post, but now you’re headed to a Tier-4 region from the inner post.

No one has made a leap like this in recent history,” he continued, his voice growing more contemplative as old memories resurfaced.

I felt a surge of pride and gratitude well up inside me.

“Thank you, Teacher.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made it this far,” I said, my voice quiet but sincere.

And I meant it.

Yes, I had acquired the ancient blood drop, a priceless gift that changed the course of my life before meeting the Teacher.

But none of that would’ve mattered if I hadn’t left the outer post and pursued strength.

Teacher Lowell had paved the way for me, making my journey that much more bearable.

I had also come to understand the power of having someone strong in your corner.

I learned that when those two envoys from Star University offered me an opportunity I never dreamed of.

“Good, you deserve it,” Teacher Lowell replied, his tone warm with approval.

“A rare triple-element warrior like you is bound to attract attention.

It’s only reasonable.” He paused briefly before adding, “And don’t concern yourself with the Blood Shadow Force, Giant Tower Academy, or Eclipse Academy.

They won’t be a problem.” His words gave me a sense of security.

Those organizations had crossed my mind more than once, and knowing he had faith in my safety eased my worries.

“When are you leaving?” he asked, shifting the conversation to logistics.

“Most likely today,” I replied.

“The Head is gathering all 300 selected warriors.

Once everyone’s here, we’ll be on our way.” “Alright,” he said after a moment of thought.

“Jonathan and I will be there shortly.” Before I could respond, the call ended.

He was always a man of action, wasting no time.

I could picture him already on the move, determined to see me off before my journey to Star University began.

I hadn’t expected the envoys to leave so soon, but in a way, it felt right.

The future was calling, and it wouldn’t wait.

…

Meanwhile, across the vast and sprawling Federation, a ripple of tension surged through the Families, Clans, and organizations under its banner.

The source?

A brief yet powerful message from the Federation Head, Ben.

His words were simple but carried immense weight: those selected from their ranks must appear at the Federation Headquarters immediately, or they would miss the rare opportunity to enter the coveted Tier-4 region.

It was the kind of message that sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of power.

In an instant, the entire inner post region was thrown into a state of high alert.

Conversations halted, and plans were disrupted as the implications of the message settled in.

The forces from the Tier-4 region were no longer just rumors or distant figures of power-they were here, walking among them, making visits to organizations directly connected to them.

From the infamous Bloodline Clans, with their ancient legacies, to the formidable Academy Institutions, who held sway over generations of warriors, everyone had the same goal: ensure that their best and brightest warriors earned a place within these Tier-4 forces.

The stakes had never been higher.

The prestige and influence that came with such a placement could shape the future of an entire family or clan for generations to come.

For these organizations, the urgency of the message from Federation Head Ben could not be understated.

Within moments of receiving it, warriors whose names appeared on the sacred name list were summoned with haste.

These were not just ordinary individuals-they were the cream of the crop, chosen for their exceptional skills and potential.

The families wasted no time, dispatching them with the swiftness of a well-oiled machine.

Inside the Federation Headquarters, the air was thick with anticipation as warriors began to arrive one after another.

The Teleportation Platforms, connected to major cities and the homes of the most powerful families, hummed with activity.

One by one, the selected warriors materialized within the grand hall, their expressions a mixture of excitement and determination.

Each arrival represented another piece of the puzzle, another contender for the highly sought-after positions.

As the minutes ticked by, the Headquarters steadily filled with the presence of these warriors, ready to make their mark.

The atmosphere was electric-whispers of speculation filled the halls as the warriors sized each other up, mentally preparing themselves for the journey ahead.

Everyone knew this was more than just a call to arms-it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ascend beyond the limitations of the inner post and claim a place in the powerful Tier-4 region.

And for those who failed to appear in time?

They would be left behind, watching as the future unfolded without them.

…

Meanwhile, the Blood Shadow Force, a fearsome organization feared across the inner post, was being visited by the envoys from Dark Shadow University.

This was no ordinary institution-it was one of the six prestigious universities in the Tier-4 region, known for producing warriors of unparalleled strength and cunning.

Though its official name was Dark Shadow University, most referred to it as Blood Shadow University, and for good reason.

The Blood Shadow Force was merely an extension of the university’s infamous reputation, acting as its lethal branch, specialized in assassination, combat, and merciless discipline.

The distinction between names didn’t matter to the other forces-whether you called it Dark Shadow or Blood Shadow, the university was known for one thing above all: its ruthlessness.

The mere mention of its name sent chills through even the most hardened warriors, as it was synonymous with killing and survival of the fittest.

Now, its envoys were here, scrutinizing the Blood Shadow Force’s talent with cold, calculating eyes, searching for candidates worthy of ascending to the Tier-4 region.

Amidst the activity, Rupert, the leader of the Blood Shadow Force, stood in silent contemplation.

He wasn’t focused on the inspections, not entirely.

His mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of a particular name: Zack Lockwood.

Rupert had been keeping an eye on Zack for some time now.

The kid’s potential was undeniable-rare even among the most elite warriors under the Federation’s banner.

And Rupert knew better than anyone how quickly raw talent could turn into a powerful threat.

Word had reached him that envoys from Star University, another Tier-4 powerhouse, had also visited the Federation.

This news gnawed at him.

Star University was no ordinary institution-it was the pinnacle of education, attracting the most talented warriors from every corner of the region.

If Zack Lockwood were to catch their eye, there would be no stopping his rise.

Star University’s resources, training, and knowledge would sharpen Zack into a force Rupert wouldn’t be able to contend with.

He clenched his fists at the thought.

There had been plans-silent, subtle ones-to eventually target Zack.

To eliminate him before he grew into a problem that the Blood Shadow Force couldn’t handle.

But now?

If Zack secured a place within Star University, all of Rupert’s ambitions would fall apart.

The kid would be untouchable, protected by one of the most powerful institutions in the Tier-4 region.

Rupert’s mind raced with possibilities, but deep down, he knew that if Zack made it to Star University, it was over.

He would have to let go of any notions of controlling or eliminating him.

The shadowy world of the Blood Shadow Force thrived on fear and dominance, but even they knew their limits.

And if Zack Lockwood became a part of Star University, he would be beyond theirs.

Torn between duty and skepticism, Rupert pondered whether to inform envoys about Zack Lockwood.

He’d previously sent intel, but their past disregard for inner post region’s talents made him doubt their response.

His personal journey, however, had led to a newfound respect for Zack’s abilities.
