Ancient Tears BloodLine

Listening to Elder Jensen's words, Elder Smith furrows his eyebrows. He knew Elder Jensen is thinking about taking revenge. But the problem is we need that kid to do well in that Crimson Hall's event. Otherwise, we won't get necessary funds from the major share holders.

So, that kid's good performance will be mutually beneficial for all of us. But looking at Elder Jensen's persistent revenge attitude, makes him evaluate Elder Jensen as a bit selfish. Especially, He blames that kid for his plan's failure. Suddenly, he feels regret cooperating with Elder Jensen. Ever since his grandson died he is not usual himself.

This makes him further cautious on this matter. So, he stared at Elder Jensen and said, "Elder Jensen, Why don't we plan our next step after Crimson Hall event." He really want to convince him on this matter. Having said that Elder Smith face become somewhat restless.

The other hand, Elder Jensen frowns hearing his words, he asked, "Why? Are you backing away now?" His tone was slightly stern. He already torn off face with Elder Alicia. So, he really don't want add up the count. But now hearing from him, he slightly felt dissatisfied.

Elder Smith face become slightly pale for a moment. Then he recovered soon, He let out a small laughter by saying, "Elder Jensen, I'm just saying we suffered catastrophe now. It will take some time to recover. If you make big movement now, It will be too eye catching." He reveals big smile, hoping not to offend him too much.

Elder Jensen remained silent for a moment. He begin to ponder, he himself don't have any plans now. He just lending out his frustration. Even if he decides to cook up some scheme, it will be difficult to get another opportunity.

He has two ambitions now, one to kill that brat Zack and other to get to chairmanship position. Both of them will take some time from now. Especially for that brat, He really doesn't know what his ability and elemental qualification. But too sustain this far from life or death duel. It shows that brat is some what capable from ordinary kids.

Unfortunately, there is no other kid is as strong as him in the Hansen campus. He really doesn't know what will happen in future at the Crimson Hall event. If that brat dies in that event, it will be good solution. But he doesn't have any influential connections with them.

He certainly remembers Adrian Curry's today's words. Going behind Hansen campus and having talks with them will certainly cause him trouble. So, he really doesn't want to do that now.

After sorting out, he let out a small sigh. He looked back at Elder Smith and nodded. "Elder Smith is really wise' He said with a calm tone.

Elder Smith finally eased his heart. For a moment he really had a cold back, "Fortunately, Elder Jensen is sensible " He said wryly in his heart.

...

(Zack's POV)

After adjusting my peak state, I paced the lightning attributed wood in my palm. Then I began to recite the lightning scripture.

In a moment, Lightning rune in my mind began to flicker as the process began to follow.

At this moment, a pure lightning essence is being sucked through my palm. The quantity is little lower, but it's nothing comparing to the quality.

As the pure lightning essence course through my vein, it immediately got attracted by the lightning totem. Then it got gathered inside my dantian. As my totem becomes active more and more lightning essence is being sucked through my palm.

Time went on,

The lightning attributed wood began to loose it's essence. Slowly, the lightning attributed wood becomes dry.

Finally, I breathed in relief. Its been long since I felt the barrier, But now I gathered enough energy to break the barrier. I believe in following two days, I will get break through.

After calculating the timing, I sent message to Uncle, Granny, Mentor and Mr. Arthur. "Now, I can focus on my retreat." I uttered in determination.

Time went on, Zack's message was received by everyone. They understood what was going on. So, they don't plan to disturb him for couple of days.

Three days later,

A muffled sound burst out in my body, As I succeed in getting breakthrough to reach Initial- Special Trainee in lightning cultivation. As a result my dantian space widened a little more. In due process, my whole body got some improvement in strength.

My meridian's got more strengthened. I felt bursting power in my muscles. Comparing to body strength, my lightning essence got more dense and pure. Now, with more dantian space, I can store more lightning essence in it. Considerably, I can increase my lightning sword training few more hours from now onwards.

I took sharp breath in excitement, one step closer toward my goal. Currently, My body and essence both are at Initial-Special Trainee Level. On top of it, My 7th region of brain is also at 10% development.

All of them got progress, Then I shook my head in somewhat disapproval. I still feel my rate of progression is slow. Considering, My living city it can be rated as amazing achievement. But, my rate of succession will be lot faster. If I getting into more higher and resourceful cities.

Right now, I only had one opportunity to do that. If I get into that academy in future, my progression is also be lot faster then. I let out a huge sigh, after sorting out my emotion. I don't know when will be my next breakthrough.

I couldn't calculate the future planning due to lack of resources. But, I should strive on finding more opportunities. Just like Mr. Jonathan helped me lot this time.

After adjusting my strength a little bit, I thought about informing Uncle about my breakthrough. He is the one who really knows about my lightning element. He will be happy, if he knows it.

...

The other hand, In these two days, Adrian Curry also reached his place with his son. He also filed report of his successful mission. On top of it, Corpse of Assassin Ed also handed over to relevant department. While dying Assassin Ed had his wrist watch on him.

Which is now confiscated by Intel department of the federation.

Its normal task to crack down the Assassins and rogue warriors. But mission of killing Assassin Ed is somewhat important. Behind the scenes, the upper echelons after confirming the mission report. They informed Sir. Lowell McClain immediately.

At the same time, After learning about the mission. The other hand, Sir. Lowell McClain sent message to Mr. James and Elder Thornton. Confirming the death of the Assassin. Which in turn put them at ease.

Zack is oblivious to all of this due to his breakthrough retreat.

...

The other hand, Elder Thornton is really cheerful these days. He received two good news in past few days. The first one is about the restoration project of the building. He doesn't have to worry about the funding. As the federation took care of it. The second is about the death of the Assassin.

He can now rest assured for now, as there is no imminent danger.

Right now, Elder Thornton is in his cabin. He took some break now to get some relax. Suddenly, he recalls about Mr. Arthur's health condition. He knew about his speedy recovery. So, he contacted him immediately.

As the call connected,

A cheerful voice greeted him, "Elder Thornton, What's the matter?"

Elder Thornton smiled hearing his voice, " Listening to your voice, Looks like your full recovery is on the way." He said with a smile.

The other hand, Mr. Arthur laughed little. He also told about his recent improvement.

Then Elder Thornton finally added the good news, "Arthur, there is also some good news for our campus."

"huh" Mr. Arthur uttered in surprise.

Hearing that Elder Thornton smiled and finally break out the news.

"That Elite Assassin is dead." Elder Thornton said the first good news.

"What? Really...now way!" Mr. Arthur exclaimed in surprise.

"How fast!" He blurted out in surprise. As he himself couldn't believe the news.

He really got scared facing against him at that time. "Now, he is gone. Who could be?" He ran his mind to find some answers.

Mr. Arthur even forgot that Elder Thornton is currently on the line.

The other hand, Elder Thornton didn't mind it. He knew there is some negative effect left on his mind due to that incident. After hearing this good news, it will even further increase his speedy recovery.

Finally, Mr. Arthur calmed down his nerves. As he took deep breath in relief, he remembers Elder Thornton is still on the line.

Mr. Arthur hurriedly answered, "Sorry Elder! I really can't believe the news."

Then he continued, " Elder Thornton, If you don't mind. Could you tell me how it happened."

Hearing that Elder Thornton answered, "Federation forces killed him at some other incident. But they don't know that he was responsible for our trouble too."

Hearing that Mr. Arthur surprised but he again has some doubt. he looked at Elder Thornton and asked, "Then Elder, How come?" Before he could finish his words. The other hand, Elder Thornton already understood his dilemma.

He interrupted him by saying, "I have my own source. Because, I already knew why he had came at that day. So, don't think too much about it."

Hearing that Mr. Arthur got relaxed finally. Since, Elder knew about the background details. He doesn't want to ask too much about it.. He finally let go of his inner curiosity.
