Virtual training lab

When I was speaking to the staff, I found that the old man Daniel was trying to probe my strength. I sighed inwardly.

It doesn’t matter what the situation is, the old man Daniel always does his analysis. The conversation came to an end a few minutes later.

"Zack Lockwood, what’s your strength right now?" Old man Daniel asked.

"I’m a Gold Mark Warrior," I replied.

"I know it. Yet you were able to kill the Purple Mark Level Foreign Creatures," the old man Daniel said.

Hearing that, I told him that it was because of the ancient inheritance. It was not a secret that I got an ancient inheritance from the sky rift secret land.

Almost everyone knew about it.

"So that’s why?" the old man Daniel said.

The other staff understood the reason. They didn’t expect the ancient inheritance of Zack Lockwood would be this powerful.

I spent another ten minutes there. Then I left the place after making some excuse.

If I continued to stay there, then I was sure the old man Daniel would ask me to try virtual avatar fighting.

On my way back to the Thunderflame Faction, I came across some warriors. This time they recognized me, but none of them came forward to greet me.

Soon, I found out the reason. They were from the Elemental Factions. I had done damage to their reputation.

Since then, they have been trying to do something about it. None of their warriors had succeeded so far.

Suddenly, someone blocked my path. The person appeared to be a middle-aged man. He was wearing the faction uniform of the Silver Element Faction.

"William is here. He is the disciple of the Faction Leader of the Silver Faction," someone from the crowd pointed out.

"He is a Purple Mark Warrior. Some say he is close to the legacy elders."

"There is going to be a good show."

"William is known for his sharp attack techniques."

"He is going to fight against Zack Lockwood now."

I heard the conversations of the others. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I didn’t expect trouble to find me so soon.

I tried to walk past the person.

William snorted. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Now that he had the chance, he wouldn’t let it go.

Boom!

A silver scythe appeared in his hand. The next second, he tried to hack Zack Lockwood without giving any warning.

My perception caught something. I moved backward at the last few seconds. The scythe cut through the air.

The air itself felt cleaved. William raised his hand and brought the scythe down diagonally to cut.

"Lightning Condensed Finger."

I used the shock force and Purple lightning force. The combination of two inheritance forces appeared at the tip of my index finger.

Boom!

At the right time, I raised my hand and shot at William’s shoulder. A beam shot from my index finger. In a flash, the beam traveled in a straight line before striking his shoulder.

Boom!

His right arm bones exploded. The purple lightning power blasted William away. He was sent flying.

His body then landed on the ground with a heavy thud. No one expected William to be defeated in one move.

Quiet!

A silence filled the whole place. No one said anything. They looked at Zack Lockwood with fear in their eyes.

Puckak!

William coughed up blood. His right arm was broken. He needed urgent treatment. He couldn’t believe a single-finger attack had defeated him.

The next second, he collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing that, I snorted before heading toward the faction. None of them stopped me. They didn’t have the guts.

Soon, I returned to the Thunderflame Faction and went back to my residence. Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Outside,

The news spread like wildfire. William was taken to the infirmary. His defeat became known to others.

The Silver Elemental Faction heard about his defeat and injuries. They were shocked to the core. They were angry at Zack Lockwood.

They didn’t expect this person to start attacking their elemental faction again.

When the news reached the ears of the Faction Leader and the Main Elders, they were pissed off.

The Faction Leader especially lost his patience. He immediately went to meet Dean Jerome.

In the Dean’s office, Dean Jerome saw the old man in front of him. The old man with white hair was the faction leader of the Silver Faction.

"Dean, the kid has done it again. He attacked my disciple. Now he is admitted to the infirmary. His right hand was shattered," the old man gritted his teeth.

Clearly, he was holding back his anger.

Dean Jerome kept a neutral expression. He looked at him and asked, "Did Zack Lockwood come to your Faction Territory?"

Hearing that, the old man was taken aback. He then shook his head.

"Then why did your disciple go to fight him?" he asked.

The old man was left speechless. He felt something was wrong. He was supposed to be getting comfort.

Then he said, "My disciple wanted to test the strength of Zack Lockwood."

Dean Jerome smiled and said, "I guess some people couldn’t believe the rumors. They wanted to see it for themselves."

Hearing that, the face of the old man turned ugly. He understood what the Dean was saying to him. It was hard for others when they first learned Zack Lockwood had killed Elite Race Members. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He was the real reason behind his disciple’s decision to challenge Zack Lockwood.

"If nothing else, you can leave. Don’t trouble Zack Lockwood anymore," he said.

Hearing that, the old man twitched. He then nodded before leaving the room.

The other Elemental Faction Leaders got the news as well. When they heard Dean Jerome’s response, they became speechless.

They were helpless. They understood that even if someone went to trouble Zack Lockwood, it was their own problem.

Dean Jerome would stay on the side of Zack Lockwood. He wouldn’t be neutral.

The Faction Leaders decided to alert their disciples. There was no use in challenging Zack Lockwood. Zack Lockwood had proved his strength by defeating William in one move.

Most of the warriors had been defeated at the hands of William before, so there was no point for them to challenge Zack Lockwood.
