Chapter 1264: Crowd at the training facility
From MC’s Perspective:
After parting ways with Ronnie Seth, I returned to the Thunderflame Faction. But upon returning I went to the training facility instead of my residence.
My appearance attracted attention. I can’t hide anymore. Because there are more warriors coming and going from the training facility.
Here most of the faction members spend their day here training. Upon seeing me they couldn’t hide their shock and surprise.
“Hey, he is Zack Lockwood!”
“Can he walk again?”
“Wasn’t he severely injured and bed ridden?”
“Huh, this is old news. He is completely fine and didn’t have to visit the clinic.”
The warriors discussed among themselves. None of them had courage to confront Zack Lockwood and to ask these questions.
“So we were being fooled?”
“He could have won a duel against the Blazing Fire Faction Warrior Issac.”
“But he didn’t use his inheritance power!”
“What a let down? Don’t know why the main elders are supporting him?”
The Faction members were furious. They still didn’t forget about Zack Lockwood’s defeat against Issac.
On the other hand, I ignored the blazing gazes of everyone. I knew they were angry. I have ruined the reputation of the Thunderflame Faction.
But I’m not stupid. Once the inheritance is exposed, I could face more threats. Only this kind of negative news would deter the enemies.
Then I reached the training room and went inside. I locked the door and set my gaze on the Humanoid Puppet.
I walked to the console and activated the Black Mark Rank Puppet which could withstand my attacks.
Boom!
The platform cover opens the next moment. The current humanoid puppet goes down. Instead, a Black Mark level Puppet appears above the platform.
The metallic puppet is strong and powerful. It’s made of special materials including earth metal and others.
The humanoid puppet cannot perform actions. As I set the setting for the target practice. I brought the new long black sword outside from the storage ring.
This one sword I got from Master Austin sometime ago. I have been wanting to use it after the duel.
I started practicing from the “Sword Divide” move.
Clap!
I charged the black sword with the purple lightning. I shot the purple lightning beam at the humanoid puppet the next second.
In a flash, the shot reached the target and struck it.
Boom!
A deafening sound occurs the next moment.
The shock force spreads across the platform and hits the walls. My gaze fixed on the humanoid puppet.
When the aftermath was settled. The condition of the Humanoid Puppet becomes clear. The puppet’s chest was caved in.
If it were a Black Mark Warrior to receive the attack, his chest bones would have been crushed. He would have died from the single attack.
Seeing that my eyes filled with satisfaction. Unfortunately, I can’t use this attack against the warriors outside.
It was a simple sword beam release without the use of the shock force. The next second, I controlled the gold and silver mixed force in the dantian.
Then I mixed it with the dark purple force and began to charge the black sword with it.
Clap!
The same long black sword which looked destructive earlier. Now it looks more threatening as if the powerful energy wants to break out.
Once it breaks out it could shatter everything.
Boom!
The next second, I released the sword beam from the same puppet. The dark purple beam with a mix of gold and silver force went across in a straight line.
Boom!
In a shot, it lands on the target. A terrific explosion occurs the next second.
Yes! Explosion. My eyes widened in surprise as I saw the Humanoid Puppet’s body parts scattered across the room.
The power of the Attack was so strong that I could feel the vibration under my feet for a few seconds.
Gasp!
I sucked a cold breath of air. If this attack were to land on Issac, he would have died on the spot. Then the Blazing Fire Faction would have gone crazy on the spot.
Then I shook my head before calming down my heart. The real thrill comes from shredding the foreign creature. But not fighting against the human warriors.
I recovered my thoughts and continued with the practice.

Outside,
The crowd was huge. They were standing in front of Zack Lockwood’s room. Earlier, no one had the courage to confront him and to ask him why he had lost the duel.
Among the warriors, the old seniors were angry the most. Because they are in the same generation as Issac, Bella and others.
Even if they had fought against him, they wouldn’t have lost miserably as Zack Lockwood. So these serious questions have genuine questions to ask.
More importantly, they are not average warriors. They have ancient Inheritance of the ancient warriors. They are part of the Thunderflame Faction as well.
Looking at the seniors in this place. The other warriors retreated backwards. Not only the seniors from the Black Flame Palace, Ice and Fire Place are here.
The Seniors from other medium and small palaces are here as well. Their elders didn’t say anything to stop them.
Everyone had come here upon learning Zack Lockwood was here. They have many serious questions on their minds.
Why Zack Lockwood didn’t use his integrity? Does he even have one? Or is he deliberately damaging the reputation of the Thunderflame Faction.
Meanwhile,
The news of warriors crowding in the training facility reaches the ears of respective palace elders. Even the Main Elders heard the news.
They couldn’t help but to touch their forehead with a headache. They knew this might happen if Zack Lockwood came outside.
Instead of staying in his room and recovering from the injuries. Zack Lockwood had come outside for training.
They don’t know whether to appreciate Zack Lockwood for his efforts or to respect the feelings of other faction members.
The other faction members are feeling down. They don’t have any idea why Zack Lockwood is doing this.
But the Main Elders knew that Zack Lockwood wanted to hide his inheritance. But they didn’t know how long it could last.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
