Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 1531: Challenge letter

Dean Office

Dean Jerome convinced her.

Francesca finally agreed to the words of Dean Jerome. She decided to take Zack Lockwood tomorrow. After some talk with Dean Jerome, she left the office.

On the other hand, the news of the secret land closing spread across the Tier-4 region. Everyone wanted to know about the fights and the treasures collected from the secret land.

There were some who wanted to know about Zack Lockwood. It didn’t take long for the news to reach every warrior in the Tier-4 region.

First, the news about the secret land’s danger was leaked. The survivors told the media that the secret land was filled with Class-13 Monsters everywhere.

These monsters have their own territory. They attacked anyone trespassing on their territory. The monsters are usually stronger than the human warriors of the same rank.

Especially when the fight took place in their territory. They are more aggressive and can fight harder. Because of it, a lot of casualties occurred.

When the public heard the news, they were shocked to the core. They didn’t expect the secret land to have such dangerous monsters.

If the monsters were to appear in the Tier-4 region, these monsters could raze down several cities. The public were glad that the cities were safe from such monsters.

Now they understood the purpose of the secret land. If not for the secret land, the monsters would have roamed freely.

They were glad that nothing like that happened. Then they learned about Zack Lockwood. People had seen Zack Lockwood entering the second land.

He had entered the secret land later, so only a few people had seen him. Only when the secret land closed did they see him coming out.

But none of them had stopped Zack Lockwood. The elders were afraid to take action. None of them stepped up to stop him from leaving the place.

The news reached the ears of the universities as well. The Red Moon University was neutral. They didn’t react much to the news, but they were surprised by the strength of Zack Lockwood.

The information coming from the secret land showed that it was a tough place to survive. Yet Zack Lockwood, with Gold Mark strength, had survived the place.

It was puzzling to many other people. It was the same case with other universities, but they were pissed off and angry. They had sent elders to target Zack Lockwood.

Yet they didn’t take any action. They were intimidated by the presence of the Purple Mark Guard. The higher-ups had heard about that person before.

The Purple Mark Guard was close to Dean Jerome, so the higher-ups didn’t punish them.

In the Dark Shadow University, the Dean of that university was pissed off. He had wanted to use the secret land opportunity to kill Zack Lockwood.

He had sent Purple Mark Warriors. They were close to becoming half-step Red Mark Warriors. With their strength, they could become elders in the university.

Not only had the mission failed, but he had lost such powerful warriors as well. It was a huge blow to their resources. They were already lagging behind other universities.

Now their strength was weakened again. While this was happening on one side, on the other side, the foreign creatures were pressuring them as well.

The foreign creatures had provided him with critical resources. He had used the resources to expand his lifespan.

Now he could not give back the resources. The Dean was in a tough position. The easiest way to solve the problem was to kill Zack Lockwood.

He decided to send a Faction Leader to kill Zack Lockwood because he understood that no Purple Mark Warrior could defeat Zack Lockwood.

But he needed a reason to send a Faction Leader to the Star University. He then thought of a competition. The inter-university competition would be a great idea.

He quickly made a plan. He decided to send 10 strong Purple Mark Warriors to Star University.

Let them challenge the strong warriors there. He was sure that Zack Lockwood would definitely appear. If not, he would instruct the Faction Leader to provoke them.

When the plan was finalized, he sent the orders to the Faction Leader. He released a public statement regarding that. He was sure that Dean Jerome would not neglect the challenge notice.

The news was like another shockwave. Various forces were shocked. They knew it was not the time for the inter-university competition.

Yet the Dark Shadow University released news like this. However, the public was excited. The news reached the Giant Tower University and the Eclipse University.

Not long after, they released the same news challenging Star University. The news shook the Tier-4 region. Every university had released a challenge letter except the Red Moon University and Silver Academy.

Everything was happening so fast. If the Red Moon University continued to remain neutral, the other universities would force them to act.

They were waiting for the Silver Academy to release the same challenge post. Soon, the Silver Academy released their challenge post.

Now the Red Moon University was forced to do something. They understood that the others were targeting Star University. They decided to cooperate on the surface, but they would not target Star University.

A few hours later,

They released their challenge letter as well. The other universities sighed in relief. Now they had a legitimate reason. No one could accuse them of targeting Star University.

...

Dean Office

Dean Jerome was ready to send Zack Lockwood to Francesca’s house a few hours later. But he didn’t expect to see such developments.

He understood that Dark Shadow University was on the verge of collapsing. They were going to take an extreme step. He had a feeling that they were targeting Zack Lockwood.

But he was not going to let that happen. He decided to let Faction Leader Francesca take Zack Lockwood with her earlier.

If they were to ask about Zack Lockwood, he would say something to convince them.

Then Dean Jerome released the acceptance letter. However, the challenge was going to take place a week later.

He thought the time would be enough for Zack Lockwood to do something about the bloodline method. It is not easy to comprehend the method in just one or two days.
