Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 1168: Part 1: Truth about the world
Meeting Hall:

Faction Leader Clifford was deep in thought when he suddenly received a call from the Dean. Upon seeing the call, he gathered his thoughts before answering.

“Dean,” Clifford uttered.

Then Clifford began to listen. Dean Jerome explained what to do. He ended the call a few minutes later.

In the next moment, Clifford’s eyes lit up.

“The Dean must have found a way; otherwise, he wouldn’t instruct me to do things,” he thought to himself.

The Dean wanted him to tell everything about the world to Zack Lockwood, which meant Zack Lockwood was now officially a Black Mark Warrior. He could join the Inner Hall tomorrow.

…

From MC’s Perspective:

The following day,

After getting out of bed, I started my morning routine. I felt a lot more relaxed. My head was light, and my thoughts were clear.

I spent about an hour completing my morning routine before heading to take a bath. The bath lasted for 20 minutes.

Later, I stepped out and changed into fresh clothes. I didn’t know what was going to happen today. Thinking about her puts me in a bad mood.

I pushed those thoughts down before getting ready.

An hour later,

I was ready to leave when I received a call from the faction leader. Upon seeing the call, I attended it. He wanted me to come to the meeting hall because he had something important to discuss.

After he ended the call, I stood in the same spot, pondering. I’m sure the Dean doesn’t want others to know about the bloodline power.

So he had asked me to lie about my inheritance. If I went to the meeting hall now, there would be discussions about the inheritance.

“What to do now?” I asked myself.

The Dean is the ultimate authority here. I can’t go against his words. He wanted me to lie about the inheritance for my safety.

There is also the Red Mark Warrior Ring on my finger. It can block all prying eyes. I continued to look at the ring.

Then I decided to go along with the lie. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I exited the room and walked out of the residence.

Looking at the bright sky and feeling a cool wind brushing against my face, I felt good. Then I started walking toward the meeting hall.

On the way, I came across other members. They stood to observe me. Right now, I am a Black Mark Warrior.

The warriors above the General Rank rarely spent their time in the Thunderflame Faction. They had their own hall and facilities.

I ignored everyone’s gazes and continued toward the meeting hall. Soon, I arrived at the meeting hall. When I entered, I found everyone present.

Faction Leader Clifford was seated in the main chair. Master Austin, Ann, Main Elder Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were present as well.

Everyone’s expressions were dull. Upon seeing me, they showed serious reactions.

“Zack, I know you were resting yesterday, but I would like to know the name of your inheritance,” Austin asked in a serious tone.

Hearing that, others perked up their ears as well.

Faction Leader Clifford looked at me with expectations.

But I did not falter. I had come prepared.

I raised my head and said, “My Ancient Inheritance is called the variant of the water source element.”

“Sigh!”

Faction Leader Clifford let out a deep sigh. The faces of the other main elders changed drastically. Now they understood that Dean Jerome was not lying.

Now, everyone’s mind had one thought: What if the Dew Water Faction learned about Zack Lockwood?

Since Zack Lockwood had accepted the ancient inheritance related to the water element, his rightful place must be the Dew Water Faction.

Quiet!

The whole main hall fell silent.

The faces of the main elders looked sad. They didn’t know whether to console themselves or Zack Lockwood.

Austin was shocked to the core. His last disciple, who was exceptional with the purple lightning element, had accepted the ancient inheritance of the variant water in the end.

Ann was disappointed as well, but she didn’t give up hope. Because the ancient healing technique is independent; its origin is related to the ancient era as well.

While everyone was down, I sighed inwardly. If not for the bloodline power in my body, I would have told them about the Shock Force Integration Inheritance.

That ancient inheritance allowed me to practice all three elements up to the Title God Rank.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t reveal the truth right now. Dean Jerome seemed to be serious about the bloodline power in my body.

Clifford said, “Thankfully, Dean Jerome said that he would find a way for you to use the purple lightning element. I believe him; he won’t speak without being sure.”

Hearing that, I nodded to him. Of course, the Dean knew about my ancient inheritance.

“Right now, the Dean wants me to tell you the truth about our world. It’s the truth everyone would know after becoming a Black Mark Rank,” Clifford added.

My expression turned serious. Finally, the doubts regarding the appearance of foreign creatures at the trial would be cleared.

“Zack Lockwood, our world is unique and massive. The countless outposts, many inner posts, and the current Tier-4 region are only a small part of our world,” Clifford said.

At this time, the main elders showed serious expressions. They had heard this countless times since becoming Black Mark Warriors.

At that time, everyone was young and in their prime, but the news shook them to the core. Right now, they didn’t know how Zack Lockwood was going to react.

On the other hand, I was surprised by the sudden revelation. But I quickly accepted the fact: ever since I learned there are many levels beyond the General Rank, I understood the world is not ordinary.

Besides, I hadn’t heard about warriors above the Red Mark Rank living in the Tier-4 Region. I had guessed there must be another place somewhere in the world. I’m happy that I’m finally getting to know the truth.
