From MC's perspective:
Time flies,
After hunting in the monster zone. We returned to the academy when it was dark. All of us have collected a significant amount of monster cores.
With this, I'm hoping to touch the barrier in my body strength soon.
The next day,
After getting out of bed. I went to the training room to cultivate. I have a good feeling that today might be the day when I touch the barrier.
Walking into the room, I sat down cross-legged on the floor.
Then I took the Class-5 Monster core from the storage ring and held it in my hand. I started to run the blood element method.
The next second, the bloody rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Slowly, I started to absorb the monster's core energies.
When the monster's energies entered my body. I guided the energy according to the blood element method.
Slowly, a red blood light appears above the bloodstream. The red light starts to convert the monster's energies into mysterious white energies.
The white energies then started drilling into bones. Which causes the heart-wrenching pain the next moment.
Enduring it, I continued the process. At the same time, the back of my neck bones are turning red.
Once it is completed then my entire upper half of the skeleton expects the head to be red.
An hour later,
I suddenly felt the body limit. Something restricting my improvement of strength. Undoubtedly, this is a barrier for the Mid-mid-super elite stage.
Feeling the barrier, the hanging stone in my heart disappeared. This time it took me many days to touch the barrier for the Mid-Super Elite stage.
A faint smile appeared on my face. Then in one or two days, I will get a breakthrough.
Then I closed my eyes and continued to repeat the process. So that I can hit the barrier.
As the seconds passed, I felt no change in the barrier. As it was rock solid. It might need a lot of refined monster energies to break the barrier.
I'm not disappointed. Rather, I'm pleased by the appearance of the barrier. I can certainly wait for a few more days.
Then I stood up from the ground and left the room in a hurry. As there are black impurities all over my skin.
20 minutes later,
After having a bath, I changed into the academy uniform. Then I began to get ready.
Meanwhile,
The Giant Tower Headmaster was on his way to Viper City. This is the 2nd time he is going to enter Viper City.
He had made up his mind to accomplish the task somehow. Otherwise, he will face a horrible death.
The mysterious person behind had made it clear to him. He won't give him another chance.
While this was happening. Jonathan is going around Tower City in search of clues. He doesn't know that the Giant Tower Headmaster has already left the Academy.
On the other hand,
The mysterious warrior from the inner post is spending his time weakening the barrier. He has attained some success in its scheme.
But still, his strength is limited here. If he reveals his strength the space barrier of the outer post will be affected.
If it happens, then it will be a matter of time before people are looking for him.
That's why he had planned to use several academies as bases for his plans. Which is a long-term goal.
But the problem is each of the big academies has the commander rank powerhouse. They are the Supreme elders of the academy. Which is also the limit of the outer post.
If a warrior wants to break through further. Then he has to enter the Inner post.
Amongst the six academies. He had managed to subdue one dying b@stard. But still, the progress was enough.
He has to subdue the other 5 academies as well. The Supreme Elder of the Giant Tower Academy hasn't shown any weakness.
Which is why he subdued the Headmaster of that academy? But now things are going bad.
He has found interference of another inner post force. When he learns the background information of the warrior named Zack Lockwood who is a lightning element warrior.
He had a good idea of the force behind this kid.
That force is an enemy organization. The mysterious person doesn't want to be exposed. And at the same time, he wants to destroy the lightning seed of the enemy organization.
In many places, lightning seeds are considered to be rare. So he doesn't want the enemy organization to gain exceptional seed.
What he doesn't know is that a certain someone is already looking for his whereabouts.
Meanwhile,
I left the dormitory and headed to the dining hall. Today, I have decided to practice my lightning ability. Which will become a trump card for me in the future.
Shortly after, I reached the dining hall.
Ernest and Laverne are there. Then I also spotted troublesome Michael Blevins.
"Zack?"
"Did you hear the news?" Ernest asked.
Hearing that I looked at both of their serious expressions.
"Our faction head is back," Laverne said.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
But I controlled my emotions. Jonathan had already informed me of this. Since the old man was gone. There is no threat to him.
"Really?" I asked back.
Ernest rolled his eyes at me.
"I think you have heard it already," Laverne added.
I smiled in response before saying," Don't worry, the faction head won't do anything against us."
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. They also heard some recent rumors. Their faction head was gone for some time before coming back again.
Then we entered inside. Not long after, Michael Blevins followed us.
"He is still looking for the life or death duel," Ernest said.
Hearing that I laughed in my heart. In a few days, I will reach the Mid-Super Elite Stage. When it happens, I can easily fight across the ranks.
The Peak- Super Elite Stage will be no threat to me.
Michael also found an empty seat to sit down and eat. We also brought our food to an empty place.
Several minutes later,
Three of us started walking towards the training area. After reaching the training area, we entered a different training room.
Laverne and Ernest walked into the Gravity Chamber. When I entered the puppet training room.
In the puppet training room,
I selected the wooden puppet for practice. The wooden puppet here can withstand the attack of the elite stage.
When the wooden puppet appeared above the platform. I tried to engage in close combat.
The wooden puppet has the basic settings. It can move sideways, forward, and backward. Most warriors use the wooden puppet for target practice.
But here I'm going to use it for first practice.
I started to use the lightning ability. A small purple arc appeared in my palm. Seeing that I clenched my fist and punched the wooden puppet.
Boom!
A loud sound reverberated in the room.
When the dust settles down. The scene became clear to me.
The wooden puppet cracked in the middle. But it was the result of my body strength.
There is a small amount of darkness in the middle. This must be the result of the purple arc. Seeing that I tried to increase the purple arc in my palms.
Time flies,
I don't know how many wooden puppets were broken. But in these few hours, I have managed to increase the purple arcs.
Now the purple arcs can cover my fist. But it needs greater concentration. Otherwise, the purple arc disappears the next second.
Then I left the training room a few minutes later. The lightning essence in Dantian has emptied.
Next, I have to cultivate again to recover the lightning essence. Soon, I reached the room.
The next day,
I woke up earlier. After walking into the training room, I sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Then I took another Class-6 Monster core in my hand. I started to run the blood element method as usual.
The bloody rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Slowly, I started to absorb the monster's core energy. When the energy entered my body. I guided the energy according to the mental method.
The red light appears in the bloodstream again. The blood light began to convert the monster's core energy into white energy.
The white energy then started drilling into my bones. Seeing that I continued to endure it.
The skull starts to become red again. Not long after, I tried to attack the barrier.
Time flies,
After a few hours, I opened my eyes. But a trace of disappointment flashes in my eyes.
The barrier remained unscathed. But the monster core in my hands crumbles into pieces.
Then I got up and left the room.
After several minutes, I changed to academy clothes again. Then I sat on the sofa to take a look at the online post.
I wonder what Carlos Kent is doing? He seems to be avoiding us. Then I saw many online posts.
But they are just normal posts. Nothing is important. Then I started to scroll down the page.
Suddenly, I paused on a particular post which was about Michael Blevins.
