Ancient Tears BloodLine

United City (Tier-3 Sub Post)

As time passed inside the essence chamber, I continued to endure the pain brought by the tempering.

My skeleton had already turned dark red due to previous tempering. There were hidden runes all over the bones.

It gave strength to the whole body. I could feel the surge of blood energy in the bones. The special energy was causing changes in them.

I was drawing similar inspiration to convert the blood energy force into a blood energy film or layer covering the body. It would cause a huge impact.

The ancient spirit watched silently. It could observe the changes happening inside the skeleton of Zack Lockwood. It didn’t expect the young man to practice all of his elements to this level.

If he started using all the elements, then no elite race foreign creatures could pose a threat to him in the future.

But the ancient spirit was not naive. It knew that foreign creatures had no morals. They might even use the power of a Quasi-God Creature to target Zack Lockwood.

The ancient spirit didn’t know how strong the current defense of the human side was. Upon seeing the situation of the secret land battlefield, the Ancient spirit thought that there were human powerhouses who were holding on.

But if the human side didn’t produce the next generation of powerhouses, it could cause greater internal problems.

Meanwhile,

The news of Zack Lockwood’s medium mode clearance at the Puppet Hall made the headlines again. The media houses of the United City started reporting again.

The Administration Staff and the Council Elders heard it. The administration staff were the first ones to know about it. They had already been given three days off under the orders of the council elders.

The Council Elders were not worried about Zack Lockwood. They had watched the footage. They knew Zack Lockwood could kill the Red Mark Foreign Creatures in one move.

And the Red Mark Puppets in the Puppet Hall were not that strong. They were weaker than the Foreign Creatures.

Instead, they wanted others to focus on their training.

Some council elders wanted media houses to talk about the weakness of the Red Mark Warriors. Them skipping the training sessions was not good.

It didn’t take long for the media houses to change the story. They began to talk about how other warriors skipping the training schedule could cause problems in the next secret land battlefields.

When the viewers saw it, they realised their mistake. Everyone was too focused on Zack Lockwood.

It was because someone had achieved the record for the first time. Now they had to think about themselves.

If they didn’t improve their strength, they could lose their lives on the next battlefield.

One day later,

In the essence chamber, a transformation began to take place. The continuous tempering by the special energy finally had some results.

A blood-red film was appearing above the surface of the skeleton. It was similar to the purple lightning film, but the element was different.

Seeing that, my heart stirred. I continued to endure the pain and focused on understanding the blood energy film.

As time passed, the blood energy film began to expand all over the body. The purple lightning film had appeared above the skin earlier.

But the blood energy film was covering my dark red bones. It didn’t take long for every part of the bones to be covered.

I didn’t stop the practice. Instead, I tried to get control over it. It was only the beginning. As time passed, I further retracted the blood energy film into the bones.

After some time, I tried to control it. The blood energy film covered the bones in the blink of an eye.

I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Like the purple lightning film, I wanted the blood energy film to appear above the skin surface.

Including the hands. But the blood energy film only covered the bones of the right hand.

"Don’t force it. Each element is different. You have already succeeded in doing that. Switch to other elements," the ancient spirit’s voice sounded in my mind.

Hearing the ancient spirit, I relaxed. So that’s how it is. No wonder the blood energy film was not appearing above the skin.

Then I once again retracted the blood energy film. The power disappeared into my bones.

Next, I decided to take a break. I didn’t know how long I had been inside the chamber.

I stood up and went to the console. I turned off the switches. The energy began to recede. It didn’t take long for the energy to recede completely in the essence chamber.

Creak!

Next, I exited the essence chamber. I came out and checked the clock. I saw it was the next morning. I had spent day and night in practice.

But the efforts were worth it. I succeeded in developing a new power in the blood element. Then I entered the bathroom to take a shower.

I spent 20 minutes in the bath. After coming out, I changed into fresh clothes. Then I went to the bedroom and lay down on my bed.

I didn’t even bother to check the news channel.

Meanwhile,

The news about Zack Lockwood’s medium mode record at the Puppet Hall had died down. Now everyone was busy training at the training camp.

They forgot about Zack Lockwood. If they knew Zack Lockwood had grown stronger in one day, then their expressions would be worth looking at.

...

Dark Planet

At the high command office, the oval-shaped foreign creature, the weird foreign creature, and the winged foreign creature were once again gathered for a meeting.

They didn’t give a detailed report to the higher-ups. It would be a matter of time before the higher-ups found something wrong.

They had no choice other than to make some decisions right now.

"What are we going to do?"

"We don’t know the name of the human warrior yet," the winged creature said.

"The higher-ups will find out soon," the weird-shaped foreign creature said.

Both of them were looking towards the oval-shaped foreign creature.

The oval-shaped creature was troubled. They had tried to uncover his identity, but it was hard to get information from the Human side.

It knew that the Red Mark Warriors of the Human Side were located in a well-protected region.
