Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 1537: Sealing Force (Purple Mark Rank)

Hidden Chamber

Inside the cold and empty space of the hidden chamber, I forgot about the outside world. My entire focus was set on understanding the sealing force.

Compared to other inheritance forces, it was the inheritance force which I rarely used. But I knew the power behind it was not ordinary.

It was the power of the Late Guardian God. So far, no one had seen him using the power-not even the foreign creatures.

I feared that if people recognized the sealing force, I could face even more assassination forces.

But the sealing Inheritance force would help me deal with the terrifying foreign creatures in the future.

Time passed.

My progress towards mastering the sealing force was increasing. I forgot about the outside noise and continued with the practice.

Whenever I felt the limit, I opened my eyes and started training in my mind. It was a kind of mind training.

It was just that I couldn’t release elemental force here. Otherwise, it could trigger the bloodline marks.

If something happened to the bloodline marks, then I wouldn’t be able to answer to the Faction Leader. So, I continued with the mind training.

I could only imagine fighting against the enemy and improving my shortcomings. But to be honest, no one in that secret land had forced me to face a life-or-death situation.

Even the Class-13 monsters were not that threatening. I had simply overpowered everyone in that secret land.

It was just that I wanted to be low-key, so nobody had seen me fighting seriously.

Most of those who had seen me were dead. I did save a few people on a whim.

In the end, no one forced me to reveal my true strength. Next, I could only think of the foreign creatures.

Especially, the horned humanoid foreign creatures had forced me to use my full strength previously.

Now that I had entered the rank of Purple Mark strength, I thought even the horned humanoid creatures were no danger to me.

I didn’t know whether there was any other dangerous existence besides the horned humanoid creatures on the foreign creatures’ side.

I put away these thoughts and resumed the mind training. After some time, I rested for a few hours before I began practicing the sealing force.

I believed I would touch the limit in a couple of days.

Outside

The family members were busy doing daily training and missions, apart from a select few who were students of the Star University.

Most of the family members were adventurers. They had their own teams, and they did family missions as well as missions from the adventurer association.

The adventurer association was not that strong compared to the Six Universities, because all the high-class monsters were sealed away.

The public in the Tier-4 region did not face threats from Class-13 or higher monsters, but there were places where monsters at the Class-12 level could still be found.

Those with strong Gold Mark and Purple Mark rank strength went to the warrior camps, which were different from the Star University camps.

These camps were the places where most of the warriors from the families gathered.

The rest of the warriors were training here in the clan.

While they were training, news of the competition was causing a stir in the clan. The family members were selecting their favorite warriors, including Zack Lockwood and others.

As time passed, even the main elders began to pay attention to the competition. They didn’t know what the family head would do.

They supported the human bloodline warriors, but there were other famous names like Zack Lockwood and a few others.

A few of the elders frowned when talking about Zack Lockwood. They had seen Zack Lockwood’s face on the news.

They suddenly found that the face of the young man resembled Zack Lockwood, which immediately jolted them awake.

These few main elders found it was possible, because they knew Zack Lockwood faced threats from the foreign creatures.

The foreign creatures had announced it before, and Zack Lockwood was also from Star University.

The few main elders became quiet. They didn’t dare to share the news with others, though news about it had already reached the family members.

If they learned that the young man was none other than Zack Lockwood, it would cause an uproar in the clan.

What was worse, they feared the foreign creatures could target the clan. Now they understood the weight behind the orders of the Family Head.

Inside the hidden chamber

As the days passed by, my understanding of the sealing force finally reached its limit. When I tried to break the barrier, I didn’t feel any restrictions.

The barrier broke. The sealing force rune became denser and stronger. Like other runes in the mind, it shot out mysterious energies to strengthen my body, mind, soul, and Inheritance force.

In the blink of an eye, they were further strengthened. The sealing Inheritance power in the dantian entered the Purple Mark Rank.

My mind received additional information; it was the Purple Mark Chapter of the Sealing Force Power.

As time passed, I continued to stabilize my new strength.

Purple Lightning, Blood Energy, Shock Force, Bloodline Force, and Sealing Force had all reached the level of Purple Mark Inheritance Force.

Next was the healing force. If the healing force entered the level of the Purple Mark Rank, then I would have a method to heal my injuries in the future.

Time passed.

After stabilizing my new strength, I began to comprehend the new Purple Mark Chapter of the Sealing Force.

...

Star University

Tomorrow was the day of the competition. The teams from the five Universities would visit the campus, and the faction leaders had forbidden their selected warriors from leaving.

They were told to be in their peak condition.

Faction Leader Francesa’s Human Bloodline Faction was ready. They had selected six strong people to fight.

It was the same case with the other factions; they had selected six strong warriors each.

Dean’s office

Dean Jerome was in his office. He was satisfied with the preparations. He had some idea why the other universities were targeting Star University.

He had already taken one measure: he had sent out Zack Lockwood earlier.

Next, he secretly gave the task to many elders to inspect the borders and other important areas of Star City.

He did not know whether the planted spies were completely wiped out or not.
