Chapter 1636: Max’s Reality Check

United City (Tier-3 Sub-Post)

In the residence, I closed the message after reading it. Then I put away the device. Next, I decided to focus on practice.

After taking a break, I entered the essence chamber again. I turned on the switch. The energy entered the room and began to spread across it.

I came to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground. Then I closed my eyes and started practicing the purple lightning method.

The lightning bolt rune began to throb. I began to pay attention to understanding the purple mark Chapter.

Time passed.

I was completely immersed in it. The doubts regarding the purple lightning were getting cleared.

At the same time, the purple lightning film was created with the help of my purple lightning understanding.

As time passed, my understanding of the purple lightning film increased further.

But my goal was not to increase the power of the purple lightning film. My goal was to increase my understanding of the purple lightning method.

Because I was seeing some improvement in the purple lightning method, I was also seeing improvement in the purple lightning film.

I knew that the inspiration wouldn’t last long. I wanted to utilize it as much as possible.

When the inspiration was over, I switched to the shock force method and began practising it. I used the same method and followed the process.

Meanwhile,

The administration office was getting the list ready. They were going through the available resources in their inventory.

The council elders had already stated that they could give the entire list to Zack Lockwood. The council elders all wanted Zack Lockwood to become a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior as soon as possible.

So the administration staff were busy working.

...

Residence,

That night, I walked out of the essence chamber. I had made some improvement in the purple lightning method and the shock force method.

But the inspiration was not over. I decided to continue with the shock force method tomorrow.

So, I entered the bathroom to take a shower. I spent 20 minutes in the bath. After coming out, I put on fresh clothes.

When I checked the time, I saw it was well past midnight. It was time to sleep, so I checked the device before going to sleep.

The following day,

I woke up early. After getting out of bed, I began my morning routine. I spent one hour on the morning routine.

Next, I entered the essence chamber for daily practice. I forgot about the schedule and continued to use the shock force method.

Time passed.

The understanding of the shock force power had increased. The shock force rune deepened further.

Like the purple lightning film, the shock force film had gotten stronger as well. Only when the inspiration was over did I exit the essence chamber.

I decided to practise the blood energy method after a break. I went to take a bath.

20 minutes later,

I sat down on the sofa, adorned in comfortable clothes. My gaze then fell on the big screen. It had been some time since I had watched the news.

So I turned on the big screen again. The news started playing, with the news anchor reporting on the daily news.

The Red Mark Warriors had thrown themselves into practice again. They were extremely busy. It was because the Red Mark Warriors who survived the battlefield never wanted to face a similar situation again.

If they increased their strength, they would have better survivability on the next battlefield. The Red Mark Warriors had stopped thinking about others, including Zack Lockwood.

If someone talked about Zack Lockwood, people would get angry. Right now, the mood of the people was against Zack Lockwood.

Everyone believed that Zack Lockwood’s appearance had changed everything. It was a false belief, yet they thought Zack Lockwood had made the foreign creatures turn aggressive.

Otherwise, more of their Red Mark Warriors would have survived. Most of them stopped thinking about it.

Yet there were a few exceptions, such as Reece and his friends, Marcus and his friends, and Julia and her friend, who were still thinking about Zack Lockwood.

Fortunately, they were strong enough to survive the battlefield. They, too, had struggled against the Venom Maw, leaving them with minor injuries.

Like the others, they were also training intensely in the facility. These people had ancient Inheritances as well, which helped them survive.

But they didn’t have multiple Inheritances like Zack Lockwood. Not all of them were as lucky. There were people like Zack Lockwood with Purple Mark strength.

Some of them had died, and a few escaped with grievous injuries. Among the seriously injured, Max was one of them.

His right hand was gone; he had only one arm now. His family was requesting the council to send him back to the 5th Zone.

In the 5th Zone, he could become an elder with Purple Mark strength as well. But Max was unwilling. He really hated the Venom Maw.

That creature had casually sent him flying during the battle, and the coercion released by the creature crushed his right arm.

Fortunately, the rescuers had arrived on time. The Red Mark Warriors rescued him. Later, what followed was a one-sided battle.

The Venom Maws were playing with them. Just before they could be wiped out completely, they were ejected from the battlefield.

He then learned that Zack Lockwood had won the first secret land battlefield alone. It triggered the rest of the battlefield to end the battle, and they were then ejected.

He grew frustrated thinking about Zack Lockwood. Like him, Zack Lockwood was a Purple Mark Warrior, but he didn’t know where that strength came from. It puzzled him.

More than that, he knew how terrifying the elite race creatures were. But Zack Lockwood had killed them all alone. It was something even the Red Mark Warriors had failed to do.

He thought only the Red Mark Warriors in the main post could do something like that, because their inheritance understanding and their skills had reached the peak.

So Max thought Zack Lockwood’s Inheritance might be more powerful than everyone thought. He knew there was a gap among the ancient inheritances as well. He thought Zack Lockwood’s could be at the very top among them.
