Ancient Tears BloodLine

United City (Main Post)

Elder Freya had been talking slowly, and I was listening to her. It didn’t take long for me to see the huge vehicle parked ahead.

She walked up to the vehicle. I followed her from behind. The driver walked out and opened the door.

She entered the car and sat down in the back seat. I went to the other side and opened the door. Next, I sat down inside and closed the door.

"Where are we heading?" I asked.

"We are going to the council building," Elder Freya replied.

Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I didn’t know who else from the Star University was on the council.

Shortly afterwards,

The large vehicle started going towards the council. Like the Sub-Post, the council building was another tall skyscraper in the city.

"What is the city called?" I asked.

Freya smiled and said, "The Main Post is huge. You will get full information later."

Hearing that, I remained quiet and continued to watch the passing view through the window. Not only that, but I was seeing the locals as well.

Everyone was a Red Mark Warrior. The population was higher than at the Sub-Post. I continued to look at the buildings, and there didn’t seem to be a seashore.

I wondered where the battlefield was. I thought everything would be clear at the council meeting.

20 minutes later,

The vehicle stopped in front of the council building. It was a tall skyscraper. We stepped out. Elder Freya started walking forward towards the entrance.

Seeing that, I began to follow her from behind. I didn’t notice it earlier, but I found that the concentration of the special energy was really dense here.

It was similar to the energy inside the trial room. Then I thought of the ancient spirit.

"Are you there?" I asked.

"Yes, I have been awake and watching your movements," the ancient spirit said.

"I heard the words of the old woman. She is your clan elder. I noticed her strength is on the verge of a breakthrough. But she has been controlling her strength for a long time."

"She purposely didn’t want to break through," the ancient spirit added.

Hearing that, my eyes flickered. I didn’t know what to say. By the time we got to the wide, spacious hallway, Elder Freya was walking towards the lift.

We reached the lift and took it to the top floor of the building. After arriving there, the lift doors opened automatically.

Creak!

Next, both of us stepped outside. There was another glass door. Elder Freya didn’t speak much. She took me to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, more than 20 council elders were seated. Actually, they had arrived earlier and were waiting for Zack Lockwood to come.

All of this was because of orders from the Quasi-Gods. Not only from Quasi-God Jane; the other Quasi-Gods had reacted as well. They had decided what to do with Zack Lockwood.

They had decided on a plan for him. When they heard the plan, they were shocked. Right then, two people entered the meeting hall.

All the elders turned towards them. They saw Elder Freya, but they quickly looked towards the young man beside her.

The young man was none other than Zack Lockwood. He had unsettled the foreign creatures when he was at the Purple Mark Rank. Now, looking at him with his Half-Step Red Mark Strength, the elders were quite surprised.

They had heard the news, but they didn’t know what to say in person. Elder Freya saw the reactions of the elders. There were male and female elders here-including both young and old elders.

"Alright, everyone. The young man is here. Can we discuss the orders of the Quasi-Gods right now?" Freya said before taking her seat.

She didn’t expect the other elders to be so stunned. The elders from the six universities were here as well. Apart from them, there were elders who hailed from warrior families and clans.

They had come so far without even going to the university.

I looked at the council elders. Everyone was radiating the same aura as Elder Freya. Don’t tell me everyone had been controlling their strength!

"What’s going on here?" the ancient spirit asked.

"Everyone here in the council hall is suppressing their strength. Kid, if possible, find the reasons for it," the ancient spirit said.

"Alright," I replied in my mind.

A female elder from the Star University said, "Zack Lockwood, welcome to our United City. Quasi-God Jane has finally agreed to let you in. She and the other Quasi-Gods have decided to send you to the special battlefield."

"You will be fighting against the invading enemies in that place," she added.

"Special battlefield," I thought.

The ancient spirit was keenly listening to the conversation.

A male elder said, "A special battlefield has been created specifically for you. You will be fighting alone against the enemies."

This time, I was truly surprised. I had long wanted to fight against the foreign creatures alone. I had thought it wouldn’t be possible in the secret land battlefield setup.

Finally, the Quasi-Gods had found a solution. They must have read the reports on the secret land battlefields.

"What do you think?" the elder asked.

"I’m ready to fight," I replied.

Hearing that, the expressions of the others eased. They had worried that the young man wouldn’t accept the order because it was too dangerous.

"Good, now I’ll ask someone to take you to your residence," Freya said.

Shortly afterwards,

A middle-aged man arrived. He was a staff member working in the office. Seeing that, I nodded to the elders before following him to the lift.

The middle-aged man was radiating Red Mark Strength as well. He didn’t even speak a word. We entered the lift and reached the ground floor in a few minutes.

I didn’t expect the meeting to end so soon. I was expecting some challenging conversations. But the elders had already decided on a residence for me. The battlefield was selected by the Quasi-Gods.

We came to the lobby. The middle-aged man didn’t speak a word. It surprised me again. We then exited the building and came out onto the street.

"Wait here. I’ll bring my car." After saying that, the middle-aged man left the place.

It didn’t take long for him to return with the car. The car came to a halt in front of me.

The middle-aged man lowered the door. He gestured for me to get inside the car. Seeing that, I hopped inside.

The next second, the car departed from the place. It appeared in midair before flying toward the residence.

Inside the car, I watched the passing scenes. The number of high-rise buildings was greater than at the sub-post.

Not only that, but I could not see the end of the horizon.

Ten minutes later,

The car entered an area of similar high-rise flats. It came to the parking area and stopped. When the car came to a halt, the middle-aged man stepped out.

Seeing that, I opened the door and walked out. There were a few residents going about their business. They were Red Mark Warriors as well, but they were elderly people.

"Your flat number is 50. Here is the access card. You will get your official IDs and other kit later this evening," the middle-aged man said before handing me the access card.

I nodded to him and accepted the access card. Then I watched the middle-aged man leave. After he had gone, I took the elevator to Flat No. 50 on the 20th floor.

When I got out of the elevator, I walked up to the door.

Creak!

I used the access card, and the door opened automatically. I walked inside, and the door shut behind me.

I came to a spacious living hall. There was more than one room here. I started taking a tour around the house. There were three bedrooms, one big bathroom, one huge training hall, and one big practice room.

It was the first time I was seeing a training hall inside a flat. More than the practice room, I got curious about the training hall.

I entered the training hall using the same access card.

My gaze immediately fell on the walls and ceiling. The walls and ceiling were not ordinary. I walked up to the wall and touched it.

I immediately felt the special layer within it.

"The use of technology is good here. It was made to absorb the aftermath. It could withstand the shock force," the ancient spirit said.

Hearing that, my eyes flashed with understanding. But I didn’t know whether it could withstand my power.

"Don’t try to do anything now. You have just come here," the ancient spirit said.

Hearing that, my mouth twitched. The ancient spirit also doubted whether the walls could withstand the attacks from Zack Lockwood.

His benchmark was completely different. Next, I looked around before leaving the room. Then I entered the practice room using the access card.

The practice room was the same. The ceiling and the walls were made of special material.

"I think you can use the time right now to adapt to the changes here. Your body is being tempered by the abundance of special energy here," the ancient spirit said.

Hearing that, I decided to listen.
