Chapter 1256: Emotions!
From MC’s Perspective:
Upon seeing me, the staff were shocked. They turned to look at each other’s faces.
"What are you doing?" one of the staff asked.
"I’m fine, you guys can go back." After saying that, I turned around and started heading towards the Thunderflame Faction.
The medic staff were dumbfounded. They were looking at Zack, who was leaving. They saw Zack was injured all over his body.
The burnt marks were visible. Yet, he was walking like nothing had happened. They couldn’t help but wonder whether he was faking it or not.
"Let’s go. They have a healer in their faction," a staff member said.
Hearing that, the rest of them agreed and started going back to the medic room.
On the other hand, I was hurt. I urgently needed to go back to the Thunderflame Faction.
Just as I was walking along the path,
"What is he doing here?"
"We saw him taken to the infirmary."
A group of five Black Mark Warriors saw Zack Lockwood. They were coming back from the duel arena.
They recognized Zack Lockwood and blocked his path.
At the same time, my heart filled with anger.
"Hey. He can walk. Why don’t we put him back on the stretcher?" After saying that, a middle-aged man rushed forward to attack.
Hiss!
The middle-aged man’s right fist was covered in flames.
On the other hand, my perception was active. For the first time, I circulated the shock force and blood force together.
In a flash, both of them reached my arms. It immediately caused heart-wrenching pain. The closed wounds were opening again.
I ignored it and punched forward.
The middle-aged man was grinning. He was expecting the same outcome as Issac. The other four members were standing cross-armed, watching with fun.
Boom!
My fist came in contact with those flames. The next second, the shock force extinguished the bright red flames right away.
Then it started rampaging through the opponent’s right arm with the blood force. In a flash, the middle-aged man’s right arm was crushed.
The bone bent at a right angle.
A torrent of blood gushed forth, spraying the ground.
The remaining four warriors were dumbfounded. Their pupils shrank.
At the same time, I rushed forward to attack the four people who were petrified on the ground. They were standing clueless.
Boom!
One after another, I landed blows to their stomachs and chests. The mixed shock and blood force fists shook their internal organs.
Tud!
In a flash, four of them smashed onto the ground one after another. They spewed out blood the next moment. They had been hit very hard.
A terrifying pain assaulted their bodies. They couldn’t believe what had just happened.
Swoosh!
I spared a glance at them before continuing with my walk. On the way, I didn’t come across any other warriors.
Soon, I reached the Thunderflame Faction. Upon entering inside, I came across members. They were going about their business.
But they paused their movements right after seeing me. Their eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.
They were shocked, knowing that Zack was able to walk in this state. They were disappointed with the duel outcome.
Zack Lockwood had lost the duel.
I felt numerous gazes of people. I quickly increased my pace and got closer towards my residence.
The members had started gossiping. Everyone thought Zack would be in the medic room right now. But he was back like nothing had happened.
Everyone was confused. They started posting this news online and began sharing it with their friends.
On the other hand, I reached the residence. After entering inside, I locked the door. Then I went to the bedroom.
I removed my clothes and began to check the injuries. From top to bottom and on my back, there were severe burnt marks.
My gaze then fell on my arms. Both of my arms were hurt. The skin and flesh were damaged. The bones were hurt as well.
Without waiting further, I began to run the ancient healing technique. The healing element of mine got stimulated.
I could feel the healing force entering the body from the surroundings. Whenever the healing force touched my skin, I felt warmth and the pain receding.
As time passed, the healing force came in contact with every injury. It started to heal them. Because of the ancient healing technique, the physique recovery speed was triggered.
Meanwhile,
The Faction Leaders and the main elders had returned. But they were in their own places. Faction Leader Clifford didn’t summon them to the meeting hall.
The Faction Leader himself was feeling upset. There were certain things they couldn’t do. He thought if Zack wanted to lose the duel, then no one could change his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes turned serious.
"I think I should not delay in finding out the inheritance for Zack," he thought.
He knew there was a secret land which was going to open soon. It was near the territory of the Giant Tower University.
There used to be powerful lightning warriors in the Giant Tower University. He decided to try his luck in that secret land.
He couldn’t enter inside. So he was going to arrange someone. If he wanted, he could have sent Zack, but he doubted the dean would allow it.
Last time, everyone saw Zack Lockwood coming from the sky rift. It was clear to other universities that Zack Lockwood had accepted some kind of inheritance.
If Zack went to the secret land this time, it would definitely piss off other universities. So he was going to hire adventurers to do that.

Inside the Golden Lightning Palace, the Main Elder Austin was sitting alone in his home. His other disciples were out for missions.
So he didn’t know how to share his thoughts with others. He couldn’t help his last disciple, Zack Lockwood.
"Don’t tell me that he is worrying that we won’t be able to save him," he thought.
He thought that Zack was worried about going to the Dew Water Faction. According to the rules, if Zack had a water-type inheritance, then he should be in the Dew Water Faction.
Though Dean Jerome’s words were the final say, if the Elemental Factions started pushing pressure, then anything could happen.
