Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC's perspective:

Before I could realize where Jonathan is taking me. I arrived back at a familiar place. Seeing the teacher standing in mid-air above the dark swamp. A lot of questions come to mind.

What is he doing here? A cold shiver went down my spine. Something is wrong with this dark swamp.

Is he coming to investigate this place?

Meanwhile, Lowell McClain is already aware of their presence. After retracting his glance from the dark swamp, he turned towards the two.

There is no need to ask. Lowell knows that Zack got 1st place and received the prize as well. And when it comes to those Super Elite Warriors. He didn't even bother to ask.

"Did you get that seed as a prize?" Lowell inquired looking toward Zack.

Feeling the gaze of the teacher, I immediately brought out the golden box and handed it over to him.

Lowell McClain picked up the golden box and opened it. Inside, a black color seed is placed inside the box. Seeing the black seed, he revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

The Super Elite Warriors didn't recognize the seed. Not only them but in the entire outer post. Nobody knows about the exact origin of the black seed.

If they had known, the black seed wouldn't have appeared in the competition. It would have been snatched away by the powerhouses. After closing the box, he gave it back to Vincent.

Then he slowly said, "Do you know why? I want you to win 1st place."

Hearing that, my gaze fell on the golden box in my hand.

I asked back, "Teacher, what exactly is the black seed?"

"The black seed is related to your lightning element. If you absorb the energy, it can increase your lightning talent further," Lowell said in a calm tone.

I widened my eyes in disbelief. But the teacher's next words poured cold water on my head.

"But the black seed is damaged right now. It will take a huge essence of lightning power to recover. You can keep the seed with yourself for the time being," Lowell added further.

I don't know how to react for a moment. So the black seed is nothing but a waste product right now. A wry smile appeared on my face.

Lowell McClain saw through Zack's thoughts. He said, "Now that your talent is exposed. It will be a matter of time before you see the wider world."

"And to face all of the challenges ahead, the black seed will be immensely helpful when you go to the Inner Post."

Hearing such positive words from the teacher, my mood becomes much better. The seed is great but it's nothing compared to the Ancient Inheritance.

Thinking about the inheritance, I broke out in a cold sweat. I almost forgot about it. The mysterious spirit gave me many conditions. If I fail any of those, I would be dead.

"Domain Physique," I said in my heart. I have to reach level-15 in physique improvement. Currently, I'm in level-4. Thanks to the blood element.

It helped me to increase my body strength. But it's not enough. Still, I have to improve my physique 11 times more. Only then, I can fulfill the condition of the inheritance.

What kind of horrible inheritance could it be? To think it needs such a perverted physique qualification.

My expression discolored for a moment.

"Zack, are you alright?" Jonathan's words reached my ears. Only then my thoughts came back to reality.

I quickly adjusted myself and replied, "I'm fine."

"What's bothering you?" Before I could think, the teacher's words reached my ears.

"I ....._," I opened my mouth to reply. But I don't know what to say quickly. Then suddenly the image of Crimson Hall comes to mind.

"Teacher, what to do with the Crimson Hall?" I asked.

Lowell McClain's eyes flickered with a slight glint. He knew Zack had killed that person from Crimson Hall a few minutes ago. Maybe he is worried about the aftermath.

"You are thinking too much. Now, you are going to join the academy. The status will be different hereafter. Even the Tier-6 City's City Lord will have to give respect upon seeing you."

"So don't worry about a mere Crimson Hall," Lowell said in a calm tone.

Hearing that, I nodded in response. But actually, I'm quite relieved in my heart. The secret about the Ancient Bloodline Inheritance is deeply buried in my heart.

Hereafter, I should act with more caution.

Lowell McClain felt it's time to go back to the castle. His free time almost comes to an end. If he stays any longer in the Outer Post, his whereabouts would be exposed.

Then it will create much more noise. After gaining some clarity, "Alright, it's time to leave."After saying that he looked toward Zack and added further, "Zack, use your free time well in the academy. Once you step inside the Inner Post, things will be dire."

My expression turned a bit serious. After some seconds, I replied in a confident tone, "Teacher, I will listen to your words. I won't waste my time on other things than improving myself."

Because the ancient spirit will kill me. If I fail to achieve the qualification. Sadly, these things can be only said in my heart.

A hint of approval flashes in Lowell's eyes. He didn't doubt Zack at all. Because Zack's strength is already at Elite level. Which is far better than other warriors of his age.

Lowell then looked at Jonathan and said, "Jonathan, I'm leaving. You can come back after handling Zack's affairs."

"Yes, master," Jonathan said.

Swish!

Right after, Lowell McClain disappeared from the spot.

I stood in the same spot for a moment. Only after a few seconds, I took a deep breath to calm down.

Then a small smile appeared on my face looking at Jonathan. From the beginning of the conversation, Jonathan has been staying silent.

I asked, "Jonathan, is the Inner Post that scary?" a look of longing appeared in my eyes.

Jonathan shook his head and answered, "It's too early to tell you something. But I can still give some comparison."

"Those super elite warriors can only act as cannon fodder in the Inner Post," He added further.

Hearing that my heart skips a beat. "Cannon fodder," I mumbled under my breath. Again, a cold shiver went down my spine.

Jonathan smiled in response. Then he said, "Let's go, it's time to drop two of you back at the academy."

Hearing that I nodded my head in response. Before I could think of something, Jonathan grabbed my collar again.

"Wait, I can fly...," Before I could complete my words. Jonathan dragged me back to the Sky Tower.

Swish!

In a blink of an eye, we appeared back on the top floor. Our appearance immediately startled everyone.

Five Super Elite Warriors got up from their seats in fright. This time everyone recovered from their internal injury. Their complexion looked much better compared to before.

Jonathan scanned everyone before his gaze fell on Mike Smith and asked, "Are you going to recruit other seed candidates?

Mike Smith gulped his saliva in fear. He controlled his emotions before replying, "Yes, I'm going to recruit at least 4 seed candidates excluding Zack."

Jonathan nodded his head and answered, "Okay, you can take your time. I'll drop Zack at the academy."

After saying that he grabbed Zack's hand and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Harvey Kim and others broke out in cold sweats. For a second, everyone thought the person came back to silence them.

Seeing him disappearing again, everyone sighed in relief.

Even Teresa York was shocked in her head. "What level is he?" She was surprised by Jonathan's strength again. But this time, the person didn't attack them.

She recalled the words spoken by that person. He is going to drop that lightning kid at the academy. So he is not going to take that kid away from the outer post?

A lot of thoughts come to her mind. But the next moment, she removed the unnecessary thoughts. She doesn't want to offend the person again. Otherwise, the consequence will be disastrous.

Unlike her, other super elite warriors were having different thoughts. Autumn Holt and June Shelton also understood that it's best to forget about this incident.

As a special element warrior, June Shelton knows the importance of special element power.

After witnessing the power of that person, he realized their background might be terrifying. The Silver Clouds Academy can't afford to offend such a person.

After gaining some clarity, he decided to completely forget about this incident.

Meanwhile, Harvey Kim is fuming in anger. He has suffered humiliation after humiliation. It is not like their Eclipse Academy didn't have any connection to the Inner Post.

He began to hatch an evil plan in his mind. He made up his mind to report this incident to his higher-ups. Especially the information about the lightning element warrior must be reported back.

Eduard Ortega from the Giant Tower has decided to report this incident as well. The relationship between their two academies is not good in the first place. So this will add further fuel.
