From MC’s Perspective:
After hearing Master Austin’s words, I nodded to him and looked at the uneven black shield.
Then, I continued to circulate the bloodline power, which was a bright blue water force, in my dantian.
The blue water force stirred. I mixed it with the new shock force power and proceeded to circulate it through my body.
A bright blue water drop mixed with golden and silver energy appeared at the tip of my finger. The golden and silver energy was dense and sharp.
The small water drop was more powerful than before. The shock force was more destructive than before.
On the other hand, Austin saw my power. His gaze locked onto the bright water drop, and his eyes flickered.
"Zack Lockwood’s inheritance force is more powerful than before," he thought.
Boom!
I pointed my forefinger at the uneven black shield. The next second, I shot the bright water drop at it.
Swoosh!
A bright blue streak of light swept across the place. In the blink of an eye, the bright blue light struck the uneven black shield.
Boom!
A deafening sound occurred.
Master Austin withstood the force. He didn’t even move one inch from the spot, but the uneven black shield had a small crack.
The blue streak of light had left a terrible mark on it.
Austin’s face changed. He knew the grade of the Black Shield. Even a Gold Mark Warrior cannot break the shield.
Yet, Zack Lockwood’s attack left a crack in it.
I saw the result, and my eyes flashed with satisfaction. The power of the new shock force was stronger than before.
Then my gaze fell on Master Austin. He seed to be bewildered. I figured it out; it must have sothing to do with the uneven black shield.
"Master, what’s the grade of the shield?" I asked.
Austin collected his thoughts and said, "It’s a Grade 12. Gold Mark Warriors can use this shield. Yet your attack left a crack in it."
Then he thought of sothing, and his expression beca serious.
Austin said, "Zack, don’t show off your strength yet. It will alarm others. Just try to focus on getting a breakthrough in Thunder One Force."
Hearing that, I nodded to him. After so talk, we returned to the residence.
I started heading towards the essence chamber. I ca across the warriors there, but I ignored them and went straight to the chamber.
The group of warriors was still discussing Zack Lockwood’s strength. They didn’t know when he had beco a Silver Mark Warrior.
After arriving at the essence chamber, I entered. The door behind closed automatically.
I flipped the switch.
Buzz!
World energy started filling the room. I went to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground. world energy beca denser.
I closed my eyes and started comprehending the dull golden sealing rune in my mind. The rune of the Sealing Force was denser than the previous day.
I continued to focus on comprehending it.
Outside
The news of Zack Lockwood’s breakthrough beca official because most of the Thunderfla Faction warriors confird it.
Not only the warriors from the Golden Lightning Palace, but the warriors from other palaces confird the news as well.
This broke the rumors that Zack Lockwood didn’t achieve any breakthrough in the treacherous secret land.
So of the warriors started feeling envious. However, since Zack Lockwood belonged to their faction, it also comforted them.
It didn’t take long for the news to start appearing on online posts. In a matter of hours, it beca a major topic of discussion.
Main Hall
Faction Leader Clifford and other main elders were seated in their seats. Clifford had called for the eting due to Dean Jero’s call yesterday.
When everyone was there, Old Man Clifford didn’t waste his ti. He turned towards Austin.
"Dean Jero called yesterday. He wanted to know the current status of Zack Lockwood."
"What happened to him?"
"Did he beco a Silver Mark Warrior?" Clifford asked Austin.
Main Elders Cathy, Leola, and Rosie were present as well. Their gazes turned towards Austin. Main Elder Ann, sitting in the adjacent seat, looked at him too.
A bright smile appeared on Austin’s face. The sadness caused by Neil Smith’s demise was gone.
He said, "Zack Lockwood had a breakthrough. He is a Silver Mark Warrior now. He is just busy getting a breakthrough in the Thunder One Force inheritance thod."
Hearing that, everyone’s eyes flickered with understanding.
"No wonder he didn’t co to see these days," Ann said from the side.
She had been wondering what Zack Lockwood was up to. Now she understood; he didn’t have ti to visit her.
"He was using the essence chamber," Austin said.
"Harumph. I have an essence chamber facility as well. Next ti, I’ll make him practice in my Healing Palace," Ann said.
"Maybe he feels uncomfortable. There are more female warriors in the Healing Palace," Cathy said jokingly.
Old Man Clifford smiled. Others were smiling as well because of the good news.
"So that kid benefited from the secret land. Maybe it was not enough for him to get a breakthrough there," Leola said in a serious tone.
"That must be it," Cathy said.
"That day, he told us that he had faced many do-or-die situations. Maybe the crisis stimulated him, so he got a breakthrough here in a few days," Rosie said.
"Main Elder Rosie is right. According to the statents of the warriors who went there, no one gained any significant benefits. Everyone faced life-or-death crises there," Clifford said.
Then he thought of sothing else. His expression turned serious.
"So he has to get a breakthrough in two inheritance thods. He got a breakthrough in only one so far. No wonder Zack Lockwood was staying silent."
"I forgot about it," Clifford said.
Austin then said, "Faction Leader, I heard the warriors from the core hall were keeping an eye on Zack Lockwood."
"If he enters the core hall, he will be targeted by the people of the Klein Family. Who knows? They could order their own family warriors to kill Zack," Austin added in a cold tone.
