Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC Perspective)

Seeing Zack's shining eyes, Mr. Jonathan chuckled and asked, "Do you recognize this ball?"

I nodded and said, "This ball is used to engrain combat techniques in our mind."

Mr. Jonathan smiled hearing his answer. He hadn't expected his master to give this technique to Zack right now. His earlier plan was to give it after the Crimson Hall Exhibition event.

But looking at recent events, It's possible that things went beyond the master's prediction.

"Alright, Zack. Just clear your mind and touch the ball. The technique will be automatically transferred to your mind." Mr. Jonathan said with a smile.

I took a deep breath and emptied my thoughts before placing my palm on the ball. When I placed my palm on the ball, I felt something uploading in my mind. It took me five minutes to realize that technique was uploaded.

The shining crystal ball becomes dull after five minutes. Mr. Jonathan knew the technique was ingrained successfully.

When I felt technique was ingrained completely. I try to understand the technique.

"Lightning Flash Step"

[A powerful movement technique, which uses lightning essence for speed enhancement. As its name implies, the Warrior can move from one point to another in flash speed. The technique consists of nine levels. From short distance flash to large distance.]

"Wow" I said. This is an absolutely pleasant surprise. Before Star Tower Challenge, I was sulking about having a lack of combat technique. But this technique solves the problem for my speed. Initially I was using normal leg technique.

Which is not comparable to essence combat techniques. Right now there were two runes glowing in my mind. Lightning Celestine Scripture rune and Blood Cultivation Rune.

Under the Lightning rune, there were two smaller runes connected to it. One is the Lightning wheel. And the second rune is Sword Divide. If I run this movement technique, it will form another small rune by connecting to the Main Lightning rune.

Seeing that lone bloody rune, I feel a sense of loss. I don't know where I'm going to find blood essence techniques. I have a vague feeling in my heart that as long as I continue to explore the world. I may stumble across blood essence techniques.

After having determination in my heart, I slowly opened my eyes.

"How is it?" Mr. Jonathan asked in curiosity.

I said, "It's a lightning movement technique."

Mr. Jonathan nodded, Then he asked, "Do you need anything else?"

"Mr. Jonathan you guessed right. Like always if you can find lightning related treasure. It will be helpful. In addition to it, I need monster cores and high grade essence pills." I said without leaving anything.

"I know you will ask Monster cores. So, I already bought some monster cores for you. As for a high grade essence pill, I don't have one right now. I will give it to you next time." After saying that, He takes out a few metallic cases out of his storage ring.

My eyes gleamed with surprise seeing that. I don't know how many monster cores there are. But I feel with four monster cores I will get my next physique breakthrough.

"Thanks, Mr. Jonathan. These Monster cores were as important as the Lightning movement technique for me." I said with gratitude. Though he is a subordinate of my teacher. But I don't see him as a subordinate. But I see him on the same level with Elder Thornton.

"Don't say it. It is what you deserve after your stellar performance in Star Tower Challenge. But I have to remind you though, the Crimson Hall Exhibition event is more challenging. So, be prepared for it." Mr. Jonathan said in a solemn tone.

Then he added, "You can do your own thing to relax. We won't allow Crimson Hall to lay hands on you. Just treat it as a final trial before joining the academy."

"Crimson Hall uh?" I mumbled. But I don't feel fear. I already crossed the Star Tower hurdle. It's just another one. I smiled and said, "Actually, I'm looking forward to participating in it. So I will act with caution before doing anything."

Mr. Jonathan nodded in appreciation.

"Okay, Zack. It's time for me to leave. But before going out I want to ask something." Mr. Jonathan asked because he wasn't able to see through Zack's current cultivation level.

Hearing that I looked at him and said, "What is it? Mr. Jonathan"

Mr. Jonathan commented, "what is your current level?'

I came to realize that I was wearing a pendant, due to the fact that he wasn't able to see my breath.

I said, "Mid-level- Special Trainee"

A surprise glint flashes before Mr. Jonathan's eyes. He knew Zack got a breakthrough, but he feels Zack's strength is stronger than average mid-level special trainees. That's why he asked again.

After Zack's confirmation, he didn't dwell on this matter. He left after saying goodbye.

Seeing Mr. Jonathan leaving through the auction's back door, I feel strange. "Why didn't he talk to Elder Thornton?" I uttered. Shaking my head, I walk back to the reception area.

Seeing me coming, Elder Thornton stood from his seat and said, "Let's go back. It will take days to reach Red Stone City."

Then both of us walked out of the auction house. On the way I casually asked, "Elder, why didn't you meet Mr. Jonathan"

Hearing that Elder Thornton smiled and said, "Do you really think no one noticed us so far in this city?"

I nodded in silence, I'm not a stranger anymore. I bet I'll become popular after leaderboard ranking.

Seeing Zack's quick understanding, Elder Thornton appreciated Zack in his heart. He commented, "There were a lot of eyeliner in the city. Most of them already took note of us. So, it's not wise to meet Mr. Jonathan at this point of time."

"Hmmm" I said.

To confirm it, I activated my perception ability. Soon I was able to perceive everything in a range of 15 meters. 9.Amongst the bustling crowd, there were people whose eyes were constantly set on us. It's good to have perception ability. I can see these people without alerting them.
