From Mc's Perspective:
Dorm Room,
I spoke to Dean Rebecca about the small ruins. But she is maintaining silence. Seeing that a trace of worry appeared in my heart. I know that she must be wondering why I am asking about the place filled with malice aura.
"Zack, why do you want to go there?" Rebecca asked, she couldn't contain her curiosity. Though that place is empty without any treasures. But the amount of malice in that place can still affect the minds of the warriors.
On one hand, she is upgrading the security of the whole academy. But on the other hand, Zack wants to visit the dangerous place.
At the same time, I replied, "Dean, I want to practice there. Because the monster in the monster zones is filled with a savage aura. It's hard to fight them unless I got familiar myself with a similar aura."
"It also helps to train my mind," I added further.
Dean Rebecca remained silent. She fell into deep contemplation. She is also aware that Zack got trouble adapting to the environment of the new monster zones. Especially after his last trip with classmates, he didn't go back with them.
"Alright, I'll call you back in an hour," After saying that she ended the call.
Seeing the blank screen, I sighed in relief. It's not easy to convince her. Thankfully, the monster's savage aura is no different than the malice aura. Both are dangerous and evil can corrupt a warrior's mind.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the blood element is going to work.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Meanwhile,
Dean Rebecca is looking up the information on small ruins. That place got a teleportation point but no one is stationed there. After typing the name, several pieces of information popped up on her screen.
She began to go through the recent reports. After seeing that there was no serious threat in that place. She made up her mind to accept Zack's request.
Back in the dorm, I received confirmation from the dean. She also gave me exclusive permission. After thanking her, I resumed my practice.
The following day,
I woke up earlier. After finishing my morning routine, I went to the training room. I sat cross-legged and started to run the lightning celestial scripture.
When I began to run the lightning scripture, the rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Slowly, I began to absorb the energies from my surroundings. When the energies entered my body, I guided the energy according to the scripture.
After circulation, the energy settled down in my dantian. Then I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After a few hours, I stopped cultivating the lightning essence. When I look inside my dantian, I found that dantian is almost filled with lightning essence. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
When it comes to body cultivation. I decided to do it inside the small ruin.
Then I went to take bath before planning to go to the dining hall.
Several minutes later,
When I walk into the dining Hall. A small commotion breaks out among the warriors upon seeing me.
Yesterday, the rumors about the top warriors' list were making the rounds online.
Quickly, people come up with the names of the top warriors from each faction and then they started to make comparisons.
And now looking at the expression of these people. I guess it might be something to do with that.
Ignoring their gazes, I went to the counter to receive the food.
20 minutes later,
I walk out of the dining hall and head to the teleportation tower. I didn't consume too much food except a few steaks and an energy drink.
On the way, I checked the social media site in curiosity. Then the image of mine getting good from the counter caught my attention.
"So fast," I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
Under the post, I see a lot of comments.
[Yo, is he the lightning one?]
[He looks so young. But he can defeat Peak Elite Warrior. What a monster?]
>>Monster? My brother is currently in retreat. If not for that he would have defeated the Giant Tower Warriors.
[tck! My flame faction is going through a similar situation.]
[So do my gale faction!]
[I can't wait to watch the fight between lightning warriors and other elemental warriors.]
[tck, it's pity that Zack is Elite Warrior. So no Super Elite Warrior can challenge him.]
>>Yeah, he got lucky.
[Let's hope our warriors end the retreat soon.]
My mouth twitched after reading all those comments. Looks like no one had seen through the details. They are thinking my lightning element made me win.
Shaking my head, I closed the page. By that time, I already reached the teleportation tower.
No one is near the teleportation tower this morning time. When I walked into the tower, the blue light under the platform lit up with light.
It means someone had activated the teleportation portal to come back.
Swish!
Right after that three figures appeared. Seeing that, my eyes flickered with surprise. But the next second, a wry smile appeared on my face.
Three of them were none other than Michael, Ernest, and Laverne.
"Zack?"
"What are you doing here?" Ernest blurted out in surprise.
Michael and Laverne looked at each other. Surprise can be seen on their faces.
I smiled in response to them and then answered, "I'm going to the least-risk monster zone."
"Monster Zone? So you are finally coming out. That's good," Laverne said with a smile.
Michael also nodded his head in appreciation.
"When you reach Super Elite Warrior. You can join us for the hunting," Michael added further.
Hearing that I replied,"Okay."
Then I activated the teleportation point to enter the small ruin.
Meanwhile,
Ernest gave a doubtful look. He asked, "Michael, what's wrong with you? Zack can easily defeat Peak Elite Warrior. Which means no Class-4 Monster pose threat to him."
Laverne is also confused. She doesn't know why Michael said something like that.
Michael sighed inwardly. He is still not convinced about Zack's strength. He still thinks Zack won the duel because of Giant Tower Warrior's mistake.
"Zack needs some alone time and practice. If we go with him, it will only attract attention," Michael said.
Ernest nodded his head in understanding. Everyone has seen recent trending topics in the academy.
Then the trio left the teleport Son tower.
Meanwhile,
I appeared on the outskirts of the small ruin. The very first impression of this place is gloomy and dark. The sky was covered with dark clouds, only allowing a small amount of light to reach the surface.
Which is more than enough to walk around this place. After stepping out of the teleportation point, I looked around. The place is full of dark terrain with no grass on the ground.
Turning around, I observed the teleportation point. Thankfully, the teleportation point appeared to be brand new.
After checking, I turned around and stretched my arms. Finally, I got this place reserved for me. No one will come to this place to disturb me.
I opened the map and started to access this place. These small ruins are similar to the size of the island. But instead of water, the border was covered with a space barrier.
In order to experience the malice aura, I decided to go deep into the ruins. After closing the map, I started walking.
On the way, I spread my consciousness to look for threats.
When I got close to the middle area, I feel hotter. The vibe around this area is heavy which gives me a dark feeling.
Suddenly, I saw something through my perception.
"Bones," I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
That place is perfect to test the blood cultivation method. The spot is located right in the middle.
After covering a few distances, I reached the dead spot. On the ground, I see many broken bones. It's hard to discern whether the bones were rotated to humans or animals.
Before coming here, I did some research. The bones belonged to the dead warriors. And the malic aura comes from the resentment of the fallen warriors.
I spread my consciousness further to check. Everywhere I see it's just a pile of bones. As time went on, I feel a heavy burden on my head. It's like something huge placed on my head.
But I knew the aura around here is affecting my mood. The malice aura coming from the dead is said to be very dangerous. Even I'm having second thoughts about using the blood element here.
I don't know where this idea comes from. But I strongly feel that the blood element has something to do with the wars, body strength, and bloody battles.
After calming down my heart, I decided to cultivate here. Out of curiosity, I started to run the blood element method.
Rumble!
Right after, changes take place. The malicious aura around me rushed toward me. Seeing that I immediately stopped running the blood element method in fear.
