CHAPTER 1232: SMALL COMPETITION ENDED!

From MC’s Perspective:

Boom!

As I brought the white bone staff downward. The staff comes in contact with the head of the humanoid puppet. The next second, it explodes into pieces.

The small shock sweeps away the room. When they came in contact with the strong walls. The shock force comes to an end.

Seeing the aftermath of the attack and the impact. I was satisfied. Then I decided to use a little bit of shock force and purple lightning force.

I pressed the button on the monitor for another humanoid puppet. The platform opens up. A humanoid puppet appears above.

It’s the same humanoid puppet. I moved the staff again and began to imbue the dark purple force and shock force into it.

The dark purple force, with a mix of gold and silver, has covered the white bone staff. The white bone staff is now beaming with power.

Swoosh!

The next moment, I rushed out to attack the humanoid puppet again. When I appeared before the puppet.

I thrust the white bone staff forward. The white bone staff, filled with power, comes in contact with the puppet body.

Boom!

The puppet’s body exploded into its pieces. The exploded parts fell on different parts of the ground.

Seeing that I was stunned. Because I knew it was not a firm contact. It was a mere touch, yet the puppet’s body exploded.

I knew the material of the humanoid puppet could withstand the attacks of the Black Mark Warriors. So these materials were hard and expensive.

Then I recovered my thoughts and continued to practise with the staff technique.

While maintaining balance, he practises thrust, upward swing, downward swing and attacking while rotating.

Time passed,

While I was practising, the outside event was reaching its end. All six elemental factions were going to find their top 3 warriors in Black Mark Rank.

Their Main elders were surprised. Because some of the warriors have given them a surprise. The warriors who were low-key and ’t optimistic had performed well.

Even some of the old warriors who were considered to have exhausted their potential have shown strong potential in this small competition.

Though the small competition was about challenging Zack Lockwood. Unknowingly, they had unearthed a hidden gem in their own factions.

Because of it they were happy. The Faction Leaders were surprised by the new development as well. Dean’s notification has caused them to find new talents.

The same thing was happening in the two bloodline factions. Though they didn’t have much enmity against the Thunderflame Faction and Zack Lockwood.

They don’t want to stay behind other factions. They wanted to be in the limelight as well. If they were able to defeat Zack Lockwood in a duel, they would gain fame as well as their Faction.

Time passed,

When the evening arrived. The small competition comes to an end as well.

All 6 Elemental Factions and the 2 Bloodline Factions have selected their top 3 warriors.

They have sent their namelist to Dean Jerome.

They are hoping that Dean will accept the namelist.

...

Dean Office:

Jerome has been following the small competition event. To be honest, he was surprised by the presence of many talented warriors.

He didn’t expect many of the Black Mark Warriors who had become old to emerge with a new potential.

He was worried about the change in the situation of Camp 424. Now that he sees this many strong Black Mark Warriors.

He thinks that they will become the Silver Mark Warriors soon. When it comes to Zack Lockwood. He has been following the activities of Zack Lockwood as well.

He knows that the kid has been practising the staff technique. Because he spoke to the Main Elders Austin earlier.

So he knew what Zack Lockwood did. After learning that the kid has been doing this to have a trump card.

He was impressed. He thinks that Camp 424 should have been the wake-up call for Zack Lockwood.

But others don’t know about Zack Lockwood’s training. They were thinking it must be the same old Zack Lockwood.

Dean Jerome didn’t know that he himself was underestimating the strength of Zack Lockwood. Zack Lockwood had killed foreign humanoid creatures.

Those creatures had the strength of Silver Mark Warriors. Despite the appearance of old Black Mark Warriors, they won’t be able to turn the tide.

The whole Star University is going to learn in a few days.

Meanwhile,

I exited the training room and then went to the bathroom to get refreshed.

A few minutes later,

I walked out and started going back to the exit. I saw the warriors were yet to leave. As if they were waiting for me.

Suddenly, a group of warriors stood before me.

"Zack Lockwood, the selection is over. It’s up to you to decide the opponent," One of the middle-aged warriors said.

"Interesting," I uttered.

Then I thought of something important.

I said, "I’ll fight against the strongest among the selected warriors. There are 8 factions. Just fight it among yourselves to decide the top warrior. "

"Then I’ll accept his challenge," I added before walking past them.

The warriors were dumbfounded. They had thought Zack Lockwood would accept the challenges from all the Factions.

It was said the same in Dean Jerome’s notification. But Zack Lockwood has come up with his new rules.

They have decided to inform the third main elders and older warriors. The selected warriors would be pissed off if they knew Zack Lockwood was coming up with new rules.

About 20 minutes later,

I returned to the residence. But my mouth curves into an arc thinking about those warriors. I’m sure my message will piss off many. Including the Faction Leaders and the main elders.

Then I went to the bath to freshen up.

Meanwhile,

The warriors begin spreading Zack Lockwood’s message. Everyone who heard it was shocked. Especially the older warriors who have reached the top 3 in their factions.

They think Zack Lockwood is going against Dean Jerome’s rules. They won’t agree to it. Everyone wanted to fight against Zack Lockwood and defeat him.
