Chapter 1587: Restoring Strength
Tier-3 Sub-Post
Elder Silas was back at his residence, but he was pissed off. He had failed to guide the target, Zack Lockwood, to his death.
Marie made a timely appearance and saved him.
"If not for Marie, the young man would have died already," Silas said to himself.
But the problem was something else. He thought that the young man might have been alerted.
If he went and talked to the young man again, he didn’t think that the young man would believe him.
He also suspected that Marie might have informed the young man that he was from the Dark Shadow University.
The name of the Dark Shadow University was enough for the young man not to trust him.
He had failed the task. Now he could only watch others try their methods.

Inside the essence chamber, as I began to run the purple lightning method, the purple lightning rune in my mind began to throb.
As it throbbed, the purple lightning force from the energy in the room began to move towards my body.
When the purple lightning force entered my body, I immediately felt the difference.
A cold and warm lightning force flowed through the route. I immediately began to guide the purple lightning force as per the path.
The lightning force power spread across the body, including the bones and inner organs. I immediately felt the cold and warm energy running through my internals.
After circulation, the purple lightning force entered the dantian and settled down in its space. Some of the purple lightning force fell on the purple lightning seed.
The lightning seed seemed to be absorbing the special cold energy. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
I knew the destructive nature of the purple lightning was due to the purple lightning seed.
If the purple lightning seed grew stronger, then the power of my lightning force would be stronger.
Seeing that, I continued to repeat the process.
At the same time, the ancient spirit was digesting the special energy slowly. It began to stabilize its current state.
It could now help Zack Lockwood with his upcoming struggles.
...
Meanwhile,
Elder Marie reported to her Elder. Her Elder was one of the council members. It was on her order that she went to help Zack Lockwood.
Even Marie was surprised. In this cold and cruel place, no one helped each other because it was a place for fighting and training.
Her Elder didn’t explain the reason. After reporting, she went back to her residence.
The Elder then informed her friend about Zack Lockwood’s safe arrival.
The Elder’s friend was none other than one of the Clan Elders of the Ball Clan, who was also the elder of Faction Leader Francesca and a member of the Ball Clan in Star University Territory.
...
On the other hand, the news of Zack Lockwood’s arrival was no secret. It was announced that Zack Lockwood would come to the Tier-3 Sub-Post today.
The Dark Shadow University warriors were ready to complete the task, even though the United City strictly prohibited internal fighting.
However, they could employ schemes and traps. That was how Silas acted, but he was exposed quickly.
Nobody knew about this matter. If others learned about it, they would vent their anger on Silas because Zack Lockwood was already alerted. Their tricks wouldn’t work on him anymore.
Not only did the Dark Shadow University people have ulterior motives, but the motives of the Giant Tower University were not any different.
It was just that they hadn’t shown it yet. Their confrontation against Zack Lockwood dated back to their time at the outer post. They had a longer feud than Dark Shadow University.
They were simply waiting for the right opportunity.
Similarly, Eclipse Academy and Silver Academy disliked Zack Lockwood. But their hatred was not as deep as the other two universities.
However, if they got any chance in the future, they obviously wouldn’t show any goodwill.

Time passed.
When the purple lightning force filled the space, I felt some changes in my body. I didn’t know how to pinpoint it accurately, but I thought my strength had grown stronger.
When I paid attention to the purple lightning seed, it seemed to have strengthened as well.
Yet the real difference could only be found in practice or during battle. I shifted to the other technique: the Shock Force Integration Method.
The silver rune in my mind began to throb. As it pulsated, the shock force power from the energy began to enter my body.
As the shock force power flowed through my body, once again I felt the movement of the warm and cold energy.
The whole pathway was getting refined by the continuous tremor of the shock force. I could feel my veins and meridians getting stronger.
The whole internal route seemed to be getting strengthened.
Seeing that, I didn’t stop and paid full attention. After circulation, the shock force power entered the dantian and settled down in its space.
At the same time, the ancient spirit was paying attention to Zack Lockwood from time to time. Seeing that Zack Lockwood’s body was adapting to the special energy, it nodded its head.
It knew that the inheritance powers would have a mix of special energy in them. So if Zack Lockwood used any attack, it would be far more powerful.
He could even withstand attacks from a Red Mark Warrior. The spirit hadn’t told Zack Lockwood earlier because it didn’t want him to become overconfident.
However, the ancient spirit itself didn’t know that Zack Lockwood had already faced the Thorn Reaper and killed it.
A whole day had passed.
I didn’t leave until I completely recovered the ancient inheritance forces in my dantian. After the shock force power, I recovered both the blood energy force and the bloodline force.
Finally, the ancient spirit undid the shield. I received the sealing force power then. I didn’t leave immediately. After a day of healing others, I understood the power of the healing force.
So, I spent some time recovering the healing force in my dantian. When all the inheritance forces were recovered, I exited the essence chamber.
