Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

The following day,

Sitting cross-legged in the training room. I took out the Class-5 Monster core and held it in my palm. This one monster core was enough for me to sustain a few hours of cultivation.

Then I closed my eyes and started to run the blood element method. As I recite the words, the blood rune in my mind starts to flicker. 

The next moment, I felt suction in both of my palms and began to absorb the monster's core energies. The energies of the Class-5 Monster were more violent than the Class-4 Monster.

So I began to guide the energy slowly. As the energy flows through my veins. I felt the violent nature. But that was for a moment. 

As I circulated the blood, a red light appeared above the bloodstream. Then they start to absorb the monster's core energies and then convert them into the mysterious white energies.

The white energies appeared and they drilled into my bones. The process was painful. But I'm already used to it. Slowly, the red color starts to expand. 

My right arm bones are turning red. The process was faster because of Class-5 Monster Core. I wonder what would happen if there were Class-6 Monster Cores.

A hint of desire appeared in my heart. But still, my strength was low. To fight against the Class-6 Monster. I have to raise my body strength to Super Elite Mid Stage at least.

Because the ape monster's strength widened my knowledge. You can't judge the monster every time based on their class. Some monsters are different. 

After pushing down these thoughts, I continued to cultivate them.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

Inside the body, an unknown energy awakens. It starts to refine the body and make it even stronger.

A few hours later,

The monster's core crumbles into pieces. Feeling that I opened my eyes and looked at my body casually.

The next second a bad smell attacked my nostril. What is it? I saw thick black impurities all over my skin.

This change won't happen unless there is a breakthrough in body strength. 

Suddenly, something struck my mind. 

"Domain Strength," I muttered to myself. After a long time, I recalled my secret in my mind. Which was not known to anyone. Including my family members, Teacher, and Jonathan.

The words of an unknown voice at that time vividly came to my mind. I have to raise my qualification to accept the inheritance.

To this day, I don't know what it is. Even in this Tier-6 City Academy. I haven't heard anything about inheritance or domain. Both words appeared to be unique. 

So much that I almost forgot about my own story. The thing hiding in my body is not ordinary. If I fail to get an inheritance, there is a possibility of certain death.

But fortunately, I got this blood element method. Because of this, I can cultivate my physique as well. The domain qualification is something achievable in the end.

I don't know what the exact level of my domain physique is. I had vaguely rated the domain in mind. Right now, my body strength should be higher than the rank 5 domain. 

After figuring it out, I wasn't able to bear the bad smell. So I hurriedly exited the room and went to take a shower.

Several minutes later,

After wearing academy clothes, I began to get ready. While doing that, I couldn't help but think about Vina Potkins.

I advised her yesterday. Since then social media has been flooded with messages and posts. But I don't know the Rain Water Faction's reactions.

If Eurice Frye appears, It would be interesting to see. My eyes flickered with a cold glint. That woman, I haven't made up my mind yet.

She dared to poison me. It would be better if she gets her lesson. But the existence of the supreme elder is troubling my mind.

Even Jonathan was suspicious of that person. If I start to act out, there is a possibility that that person will target me. So far I'm using the Dean as my protection.

Even she seems helpless when it comes to the Supreme Elder's words. I should lay low until I hear something concrete from Jonathan.

After getting ready, I left my room and walked out of the dorm building a few minutes later.

Seeing that there was no scene in front of the dorm building. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. I hope Ernest didn't bump into Michael again.

He has been getting beaten up by him. Even I have to think twice before offending the Super Elite Peak Stage Warrior.

Soon I reached the dining hall. I saw Ernest talking to warriors. 

"This is something new," A faint smile appeared on my face. 

When I got closer. He spotted me quickly.

"Zack, you are here on time. Let's go inside. I got some interesting news to share with you," Ernest said with an enthusiastic expression.

"This guy?" It has been some time since I saw a genuine smile on his face.

Then we walked into the hall. This time the crowd was less than before. After receiving the food, we found an empty seat to sit down on.

"What did you do last night?"

"Have you seen the online post this morning?"

Ernest asked.

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. 

"Well, I skipped the practice and stayed in my room the whole day. And I have yet to see the morning post."

"Why, Something happened," I asked.

"Eurice Frye is back. Someone posted the news this morning. Someone spotted her in the office building," He replied.

"Eurice?" My mouth curved into an arc. She has finally decided to come out of her den. 

"What about Vina Potkins?" I asked. If she is back, then Vina can use this opportunity to challenge her. 

"You are quick to catch on."

"Word is that Vina is going to confront her this morning. She might visit the Rain Water Faction's territory," Ernest replied with a smile.

Hearing that I nodded at him. Seems like my plan is working. We might get to watch a show. But this time I'm going to be a spectator in the duel arena. 

Looking at Ernest's relaxed expression. My eyes flickered. This was not the reason for his bright mood. There is something else.

"What about Michael?" I asked.

Hearing that Ernest's expression changes drastically.

"That b@stard left the academy last night. Something is going to happen in the Azure City," Ernest said with a solemn expression. 

"This is bad!" An ominous premonition appeared in my heart.

"What about Laverne's family?"

"Have they left?" I asked.

"Well, apart from core members. The branch family members have vacated the place. Laverne seems to be taking too much time," Ernest said.

"What's with these people?" I furrowed my eyebrows. That was a golden opportunity to leave that dangerous place. Why are the main members staying behind?

The big families are hard to understand. A certain someone comes to mind. Maria Frazier? I wonder what she is doing these days.

After pushing down these thoughts, I continued to eat.

...

The Azure City,

The climate of Azure City was not right. Lately, a lot of deaths have been reported outside of the city. People died under unknown circumstances. 

What's more shocking is that the deceased are citizens of the inner city. Such people are members of the major families residing in the inner city.

Some of the corpses' identities are recovered. The result was shocking. It has sent danger signals to the people residing in the inner city.

Because the people who died seemed to be from the Morrow Family. When the information was leaked. The entire city was in a panic.

Who dares to attack the members of the Morrow family? Certainly, people are not stupid. Even in the inner city, not that many families dared to do this. 

But because of recent events. People are already suspecting the Blevins family. This might be their work. For a long time, rivalry has existed between these 2 families.

Now that rumors are spreading about Blevins Family Head's breakthrough. These deaths only add to the confirmation. 

Because of this, the entire city was in a state of alert. The outer city seems to be deserted. When the information was leaked. The people in the outer city were the first to vacate this place.

Everyone can see that there is going to be a fight between the 2 families. Before the fight breaks out, the merchants and ordinary people have vacated the city.

Even some mid-level families in the inner city are planning to leave. But they fear that the Blevins family would target them.

So the inner city was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Morrow Family:

The Gates of the Morrow Family is deserted. Earlier, there used to be people walking around. But after the branch family left, the place became quiet.

Laverne Morrow shut herself in the room. She wants to go outside. But she knows the enemy might target her. The death of the family members caused a major blow to the family.

Nobody expected the Blevins family to go to such a length to suppress them.
