Chapter 1651: Strength Exposed

United City (Tier-3 Sub Post)

The ancient spirit once again saw the energy in the room drift towards Zack Lockwood’s body.

It didn’t expect Zack Lockwood to achieve the Half-Step Red Mark Rank in the healing element so soon.

It thought Zack Lockwood was fortunate this time.

The energy, which had a mix of special energy, caused a further transformation in the body.

The whole physique, from the skeleton to the internal organs, including the brain and heart, had been further strengthened.

I waited for the transformation to end.

20 minutes later,

I noticed the changes in the healing rune. It had deepened like the other runes.

Next, I started to run the ancient incomplete healing method. The healing force drifted towards my body.

When the healing force entered my body, I guided the energy through it. The healing force traveled along the route.

Finally, it settled down inside the dantian. The healing force occupied the space. This time, the healing force was at the level of the Half-Step Red Mark Rank.

Then I spent a few hours stabilizing my strength.

"Now you can enter the main post. I think your body can handle the overwhelming special energy there," the ancient spirit said.

"I think so too," I replied before coming out of the essence chamber.

Next, I went to the bath to take a shower. After spending 20 minutes in the bath, I put on comfortable clothes.

The following day,

I went to Training Camp No. 1. When I visited the puppet hall, my appearance shocked the warriors there.

They didn’t expect to see me here. Most of them were seeing me for the first time. I arrived in front of the puppet hall.

The person who was ready to go next looked at me. He allowed me to enter the puppet hall. I thanked him before scanning my name.

Then I selected the hell mode before going inside the puppet hall. The Red Mark Warriors present there were shocked.

They clearly sensed the strength of Zack Lockwood. Everyone felt the pressure coming from Zack Lockwood.

It reminded them of the Red Mark strength. Not only that, some of them saw that the aura surrounding Zack Lockwood was light red in color.

It was only possible when Zack Lockwood broke through to become a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior. Everyone was aware that Zack Lockwood was at the Purple Mark Rank.

Now his strength had risen further. The light red aura represented the Half-Step Red Mark, so they exclaimed in surprise.

They started sharing the news with others. It didn’t take long for the news to spread across the whole training camp.

The whole training camp was shaken by the news. The Red Mark Warriors were training in different facilities. Most of them were new, so they hadn’t witnessed the strength of Zack Lockwood in person.

They didn’t know about the terror. But there were survivors of the previous battles.

They were completely dumbfounded. They were none other than Marcus and his followers, Reece and his friends, and Julia and her black-haired friends.

They were strong Red Mark Warriors who survived the previous battles. They were also the strongest Red Mark Warriors in their batches from their university.

Yet they could only survive against the elite creatures.

These days, the battlefield has returned to normal.

They were now forerunners in slaying the foreign creatures.

When they heard the news of Zack Lockwood’s breakthrough, all of his friends were terrified, but in a good way.

Since Zack Lockwood was human, the elite creatures should be worried. They thought it wouldn’t be long before Zack Lockwood went to the main post.

They all wanted to see Zack Lockwood right now. They stopped their training. Next, they went towards the puppet hall.

On the other hand, the news reached the administration office as well. They had their staff all over the training camps. If something happened, they would know immediately.

After learning that Zack Lockwood had broken through, they were shocked. They wanted to verify the news. They confirmed the news with other warriors.

The warriors present before the puppet hall were confirming the news as well. The staff in the administration office finally heaved a sigh of relief.

They had all wanted Zack Lockwood to become a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior. It finally happened.

Next, they shared the news with the council elders. Council Elder Rowena and the other elders received the updates. Like the others, the council elders wanted to verify the news.

The administration staff said that Zack Lockwood had entered the puppet hall. Then the council elders decided to wait for the results to come out.

Meanwhile,

Inside the puppet hall, I was smashing the Red Mark Puppets with one punch.

The Red Mark Puppets were scattered across the ground. Their body parts cracked and fell in different places.

It was just that I had to wait for the Red Mark Puppets to appear one after another. None of the puppets could withstand a single punch from my fists.

15 minutes later,

I exited the puppet hall after clearing the hell mode. This time, I cleared the hell mode faster than the previous time.

The warriors were still standing outside. Right now, there was silence. The warriors didn’t know what to say.

They had witnessed Zack Lockwood set a new record.

For them, clearing the easy mode in 15 minutes was an amazing record, but they had only dreamed of someone clearing the hell mode in 15 minutes.

Everyone was awestruck. No one spoke a word right now. I swept my gaze across everyone. I decided to leave.

Swoosh

I took a couple of steps forward. The warriors standing before me gave way. Seeing that, I started walking. Then I saw some familiar faces.

They were Marcus, Reece, Julia, and the others. Seeing that they had survived the previous battles, a smile appeared on my face.

I nodded to them. Then they nodded to me in response. Then I walked past them, heading towards the exit.

Julia watched the retreating back of Zack Lockwood. When Zack Lockwood moved past her, she clearly felt a sense of crisis. She also saw the light red aura surrounding Zack Lockwood.

"He is going to shock the main post," Marcus commented.

"I would like to see their reactions," Reece said.

Everyone around them let out a laugh, thinking about the main post.
