Ancient Tears BloodLine

United City - (Tier-3 Sub-Post)

I heard Elder Marie’s words. Then I realized she wouldn’t understand a simple answer, because she had not seen my actions in the Tier-4 region.

"Elder, you have not seen my battles in the Tier-4 region. I wiped out the enemies on the battlefield there. That’s why I was admitted into the Tier-3 region quickly," I said to her.

This time she had a visible reaction. She was surprised internally. She didn’t expect that answer. She thought the young man was acting like it was normal stuff to him, but the whole United City was shaken by it.

"Alright, I will tell you why I am here. I was sent by Elder Rowena. She is one of the council elders. She told me to look after you. If you need any help with something, you can contact me." After saying that, she stood up.

"I have my training schedule next. I have to go. I hope you have my contact," Marie said.

Hearing that, I took out my device and checked it. Apart from the administration, there was no other message.

"I don’t have your contact," I replied.

Hearing that, she took my device and scanned the code. She then sent a text message to me.

"Alright, you have it now." After saying that, she turned around to leave. I walked up to the door to see her off.

She was about to leave, but then she recalled something important. She turned around and said, "You have cleared the easy mode. With your real strength, you can clear other modes as well."

"If you can clear the other modes, it will set a new record. You will get breaks and might get rewards from the administration. If you sit back and relax, you might be forced to train every day," Marie said in a serious tone.

"Thanks for the reminder," I said to her.

Marie nodded before heading to the elevator. Then I went inside and closed the door.

"That girl is not simple. She has already gained a deeper understanding of the Red Moon inheritance," the ancient spirit’s voice said.

Hearing that, my eyes flickered.

Now, I understood why Council Elder Rowena sent her. If she were not strong and talented, why would she contact me? Also, the elder behind her must be related to Red Moon University as well.

Then I went to the sofa and sat down. I waited for the lightning treasure to arrive.

Time passed.

The administration was taking its time, so I fell asleep.

When evening came, my device buzzed, and I heard a knock on the door. I woke up, and my hand reached for the device first. Seeing the unread messages, I opened them to read one by one.

[Our staff is standing outside your room door. Kindly accept the reward.]

After reading that, I took the device and walked up to the door.

Creak!

I opened the door and saw an old man standing outside. He was dressed in a nice black suit.

I greeted him. The old man smiled and walked inside the room. I closed the door and followed behind him.

The old man didn’t even sit down. He opened the case right in front of me.

Then I saw a black-colored sprout growing out from the seed. It was encased in black crystal.

"I didn’t expect its very first root. It’s better than having it as a seed," the ancient spirit’s voice sounded.

Hearing that, I understood somewhat. The next stage of the seed would be a sprout.

The ancient spirit noticed the confusion in the young man’s eyes. It could tell that the young man didn’t know the significance of that treasure.

But the ancient spirit decided not to tell him now. It would remind him when the time was right.

"Yes, it’s a sprout, not a seed. The council elders have ordered us to give you a suitable treasure. Apart from that lightning seed, we have had this unclaimed purple lightning treasure for a long time," the old man said.

"Unclaimed?" I uttered in surprise.

"Yes, you need points or a unique record to get this treasure. Nobody had acquired enough points or set a unique record, but you are the first one. You wiped out the Red Mark Creatures alone in the first secret land battlefield," the old man said.

"Alright, I accept it." After saying that, I took the black crystallized sprout from the case.

The old man nodded his head and said, "My job here is done. I’m leaving right now."

I thanked the old man and saw him off. After he left through the elevator, I went back inside and closed the door.

Next, I looked at the black crystallized sprout in my hand.

"So, how do I use it?" I asked the ancient spirit’s voice.

"You can use lightning power induction. That purple lightning seed of yours will absorb the energy of the crystallized sprout. It will then undergo a transformation," the ancient spirit’s voice replied.

Hearing that, I decided to do the same. I walked up to the essence chamber again. My eyes flashed with excitement.

Meanwhile,

The news about the first secret land battlefield had spread across the whole United City. Every resident knew about the results.

While they were sad about the outcomes of the nine other secret land battlefields, the result of the first secret land battlefield overturned their imagination.

They couldn’t believe that while others faced crushing defeats, a single warrior had changed everything. And that single warrior was not a Red Mark Warrior, but a Purple Mark Warrior.

The accounts of the survivors shocked the people. Soon, everyone learned the person’s name. The person’s name was Zack Lockwood.

Similarly, the Red Mark Warriors from the Dark Shadow University received a separate warning from the council elders.

They were warned not to trouble Zack Lockwood. The warnings were given specifically to Marcus and the others. They were the ones who had gone to the flat to cause trouble.

Marcus and the others were really scared. They didn’t expect the council elders to issue warnings to them.
