Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 572 Vina Potkins Wins

From MC's perspective:

Vina Potkins and Eurice Frye started to fight fiercely. None of them hold back their cards. Eurice's boiling water attack is already causing damage.

Meanwhile,

Vina was slowly pushed to the corner. Injuries on her body made her attack slower. Right now, the duel is heading towards the draw.

Eurice has exhausted the essence from earlier confrontation. Though her mutated water attack was powerful. She can't support it without essence.

20 minutes later,

Eurice Frye completely exhausted her essence. Vina was on the verge of collapsing. But she was able to hold on with the remaining wind essence in her body.

Finally, Eurice Frye admitted defeat in front of everyone. And Vina Potkins was declared as the winner.

"Zack, I'm looking forward to your duel tomorrow," Ernest said with a smile.

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. The outcome was surprising. Looks like Vina has figured it out. Only endurance can win her duel.

Both of them have equal combat prowess. But each of their essences made the difference.

Cheer~

The spectator let out a loud cheer. The Gale Faction members' voices are even more thunderous. They are excited by the victory.

Now they can hold their heads high in front of the RainWater Faction Warriors.

Meanwhile,

The crowd on the side of the RainWater Faction's members showed gloom. Nobody thought Eurice would lose again.

Elder Alice sighed in her heart. She saw through Eurice Frye. She didn't have any improvement at all.

Ever since she got defeated at the hands of Zack Lockwood. She had thought Eurice was practicing alone.

But the results showed that she did nothing. "What happened to her?" She knitted her eyebrows.

When she tried to talk to her. Eurice had a strange reaction.

Then she shook her head before deciding to try again.

On the other hand, the flame faction head showed no expression. He turned towards Kane and said, "You can decide whether to challenge him or not after tomorrow's duel."

Hearing that Kane nodded his head. His eyes showed an exciting glint. He is looking forward to challenging Zack Lockwood.

Right after the crowd starts to slowly disperse. Everyone was satisfied with the result. Because they can watch one more duel tomorrow.

15 minutes later,

I reached my room. After entering inside, I looked at the door. For tomorrow's duel, I don't have to do anything. I can easily suppress her.

But a certain person's image comes to mind.

"Kane Patrick uh?"

I don't know whether he is going to trouble me or not. But looking at the Flame Faction Head's behavior. I think it's highly possible. They might want to redeem their prestige.

Then shaking my head, I decided to go to the dean's office later.

My lightning essence was not enough for the duel. To counter Vina's sharp wind. I must rely on the lightning technique. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

After gaining some clarity, I decided to leave after taking a nap.

Half an hour later,

I entered the office building and came to the dean's cabin. When I reached the door. The door opened automatically.

Then I walked into the room.

"I heard you have agreed to the duel tomorrow," Dean Rebecca said with a smile

Hearing that I nodded my head in response while sitting opposite her.

"Dean, that's right. I didn't expect her to win. So I want to go back to the mountain peak again to recover my essence," I replied.

A look of understanding appeared in her eyes.

"Alright," After saying that she summoned the shadow guardians.

A few seconds later,

Both the male and female guardians appeared. After seeing Zack, they understood the assignment.

"You guys take Zack to the mountain peak. He has a duel tomorrow," Rebecca said.

Both the guardians nodded their heads.

"For convenience, I'll schedule the duel time in the afternoon. You can take your time to return the next morning," She added further.

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on my face. Then suddenly I remembered something.

"Dean, what about Laverne's family?" I asked. Ernest's words bothered my mind. Maybe there is a situation there.

"You can be at ease. There is nothing wrong in Azure City," Rebecca said. But her heart was not calm.

The Supreme Elder has instructed her not to do anything. She is hoping that everything will be fine. But she can't tell everything to Zack.

After speaking for a few more minutes. We left the room. I don't have anything to pack. All the necessities are placed in my storage ring.

When we walked out of the building.

Swoosh~

The guardian started carrying me towards the destination. Their speed was so fast that in a few hours, we would reach the mountain peak.

Meanwhile,

Vina Potkins is looking for Zack Lockwood. Though Zack verbally agreed. She fears that he might go back on his words.

Her friends are with her. Looking at her expression, they commented one after another.

"Don't worry, he won't run away."

"Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined."

"Yeah, that's right."

"See, already people are posting about your duel tomorrow."

Listening to her friend's words. She eases down her eyebrows. Vina hadn't had that much interaction with Zack.

But she thinks that her friends are right.

Not long after, everyone received notification from the academy.

When Vina opened the message to read it. She was surprised. Her duel with Zack Lockwood was scheduled for tomorrow at noon.

Now that duel is official. She let go of the hanging stone in her heart.

On the other hand, Eurice Frye shut herself again in her room.

"Damn it," She gritted her teeth in anger. She tried her best. But still, Vina had managed to save some essence.

To be honest, she was not fully into the duel. She was worried that Zack Lockwood might expose her. She can't fully concentrate on fighting, having guilt concisely.

She was herself surprised. Why Zack Lockwood didn't expose her? Without knowing the answer, she can't sleep anymore.

In other words, her normal life in the academy will be ruined.

Beep~

Suddenly, she receives a message from the faction head. She wants to meet her. A gloomy glint flashes in her eyes.

A few hours later,

Both the guardians successfully arrived at the mountaintop with Zack.

Tud~

Touching the solid ground. I finally felt comfortable.

"Zack, you can start cultivating now," The male guardian said.

Hearing that I started finding a suitable spot. We are standing on top of the peak. The peak was continuously being bombarded with lightning.

The back clouds have covered the sky. There was no heavy rain. But still, continuous rain is causing the place to get wet with mud.

Suddenly, I found a rock. It's a small bedrock. But it's enough for me to sit down. Then I walked to the small bedrock on the ground.

Then I took the artifact and activated the formation. Soon, an invisible barrier covered the place.

It can withstand the normal lightning. After arranging everything, I sat down on the rock.

Both the guardians looked at each other.

"Who do you think will win tomorrow?" The female guardian asked.

"Undoubtedly, it's going to be Zack," The male guardian replied.

Both of them have been protecting Zack for some time. So they have seen his strength before. Zack can fight across ranks.

He can easily win tomorrow's duel. All he needs to do is to recover the essence.

On the other hand, I started to run the lightning script. Right after, the rune in my mind starts to flicker. Slowly, I started to attract the purple essence.

Boom~

At the same time, the barrier was hit by powerful lightning. But not a single crack appeared on the barrier.

When the purple energy entered my body. I started to guide the energy according to the cultivation method.

After circulation, the refined essence entered the dan tian. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.

The progress was faster in this environment. The place was filled with abundant purple essence.

Time went by,

As the essence appeared in the Dantian. The majestic totem starts to act. It started to refine the essence even more.

A few hours later,

My dantian was filled with purple essence. Seeing that I decided to practice wood scripture now.

The healing essence always comes in handy. It's best to store some amount in my dantian.

Then I switched my practice and started to run the wooden scripture.

Time went by,

A small amount of green essence gathered at the center of the dantian. Among the sea of purple essence, the green essence was in a small quantity.

A few minutes later,

I opened my eyes. Then I saw the time. There are still 3 hours left before sunrise. Seeing that I stood up and deactivated the artifact.

Then both the guardians started carrying me backward to the academy.

A few hours later,

They dropped me before the dorm. We came right before the sunrise. I can take a rest before getting ready for the duel in the afternoon.

Then I reached my room. After entering inside, I locked the door. Then I decided to take a shower before going to bed.
