Ancient Tears BloodLine

He can naturally guess, Zack must have some improvement in skill division. Especially Sword Divide and Lightning wheel. If you can have achievement in skill then you can draw more lightning power using those two methods. He began to ponder.

"Should I give him one more lightning technique? " He wondered. He already made some plans for his disciple. So far his plan is working well. And the people behind Hansen campus also helped him in secret.

If this general trend is to be followed. He needs to give him another lightning technique after he joins the academy. He already gave Zack lightning cultivation technique under contract. But looking at his stellar performance in the Star Tower Challenge. I believe he will expect something from him.

"What can I give? His cultivation parth is related to lightning. He already has cultivation, offense and defense technique. What\'s he lacking? Movement, Mind, Body and Soul." He mumbled under his breath.

While tapping his desk, He take deep sigh. "If I give him a body cultivation method. It will hinder his progress. Don\'t mention it\'s hard enough to cultivate essence. And the body method is impossible. Especially for him he needs a large amount of lightning spar. " He said to himself.

The conditions at the outpost are poor. He sent Jonathan to help him acquire the lightning monster core. His hands were tied, He can\'t interfere in the law of outermost blatantly. If they found Zack\'s astounding growth in cultivation. It will raise doubt. Especially in the lightning method, they will surely suspect it was due to help from an inner post.

That\'s why he didn\'t help Zack other than giving him lightning techniques. Sometimes it\'s good to follow general trends. Once he admits into the academy and becomes elite, then I can officially rope him to my side. Until then I need some patience. For a moment his surging power distorts the space around him. Just as he ponders it, the leaderboard ranking changes. It displays Zack\'s clearance on the 16th floor.

Seeing that his lips curved a little, "Looks like I really need to give him some gift. Otherwise he will feel neglected" He sighed in happiness. After making the decision, He operates on the screen to look at the available lightning methods under their organization. As he browses it, the screen shows following things,

[ 1. Flash Step – Extreme Movement technique.  Description: A movement technique incorporates the power of lightning.  Users can cross multiple distances with each step. As long as the user is supported by lightning essence. He can cross miles once he reaches Big Wheel in Skill Division. ]

[ 2. Lightning Phantom – Extreme Movement technique.

Description: An illusory movement technique, where the user can use lightning essence to form an illusory phantom to move. It\'s impossible to touch the phantom once it\'s executed. Yet it\'s speed is lacking. ]

After browsing a couple of steps like this, He then sets his gaze on Soul technique.

[ 1. Soul Bell – A Soul defensive technique.  Description: User can cultivate illusory bell in their soul to defend against soul attacks. ]

[ 2. Soul Sword – A Soul attack technique.  Description: User can cultivate illusory soul to attack the opponent\'s soul. ]

Shaking his head, he begins to browse other techniques. These techniques were too profound.  If someone cultivates it, it\'s usually guided by teachers. There is no record of people cultivating themselves without any help. This is the exact reason he felt amazed by Zack. Without the help of his teacher he improved his skill in all three lightning techniques. He felt little guilt because of his endurance.

Since, He can do well in Star Tower. It shows this kid succeed in getting a breakthrough in one major realm. I believe he is now a Special Trainee. He must have got some success in lightning cultivation technique by understanding lightning mysteries. "If I gave him another lightning cultivation technique. Since he is so good at it. Then this won\'t be any hindrance. Body Cultivation Method? Nope, Soul Cultivation Method is a good choice." He said to himself.

Right now, there are few soul cultivation methods available in his organization. Unfortunately, He feels those were not suitable for Zack. Because some soul cultivation methods were attributed to different elements . Especially Dark Soul Lamp. It\'s one of the Special elements – Dark Element Soul cultivation method. Since Zack is on a lightning path it\'s not useful for him.

Shaking his head he began to think deeper. The only things Zack can cultivate were Lightning type soul cultivation method and Attribute less soul cultivation method. Attribute less cultivation methods were regarded as secret treasure by every organization. In history, each and every ownerless attribute less cultivation techniques were followed by bloody storms. So many killings and cutting in the end it was seized by someone.

"Lightning Soul Cultivation technique?" Sir. Lowell McClain whispered to himself. His organization doesn\'t have a lightning soul method. Lightning is a special element. It\'s rare for someone to have full essence cultivation technique. Even their lightning cultivation technique is derived from ancient cultivation techniques. Otherwise it\'s impossible to have them.

Shaking his head, he sighed. Fortunately, the star tower event is going to be held for one month. So, Zack, probably will be there after his chance. In the meantime, He can ask his close contacts about the lightning soul method. After making his decision, he takes a deep breath.

Then taps his wrist watch to contact Jonathan.

Soon, A hazy dark silhouette appears above his watch. This person is none other than Mr. Jonathan. He slowly greeted me by saying, "Master, is there any task?"

On the other hand, Sir. Lowell McClain nodded and asked, "Where are you?" His voice is gentle and calm.

Hearing that Mr. Jonathan replied, "Master, After destroying those pests (Masked Man\'s organization), I\'m  roaming around a few cities to find lightning spar." He answered genuinely. Zack requested him to find as many lightning related resources as possible. He knew this kid was preparing for a breakthrough. Otherwise he won\'t ask that much.

On the other hand, Sir. Lowell McClain nodded hearing that. It\'s not surprise him much. From time to time Jonathan would tell his whereabouts. All he wants to know is whether he is close to Star tower or not.

Sir. Lowell McClain said, "Did you see the Star Tower Challenge ranking?"

On the other side of the call Mr. Jonathan was stunned hearing that. He doesn\'t know why the master is asking about it suddenly. He knew of Elder Thornton\'s plan about letting Zack participate in it. "Could something have happened to him?"  His heart shuddered for a moment. He gulped down his saliva in fear.

He answered in a low voice, "Master, has something happened to Zack?" He slowly starts to precipitate.

While Sir. Lowell McClain let out a small chuckle hearing that. "Zack is fine. He is doing extremely well in the rankings. But I believe some pests will trouble him once he leaves the city."

Mr. Jonathan let go of his worry full heart hearing that. He smiled wryly. For a moment, He thought he was going to fall into disaster.  Then a hint of doubt arises in his heart. He commented, "Master, Those Star Tower People are also powerful. Though it is a basic tower in barren land. But I believe that there will be some capable people behind it." His expression was solemn mentioning that. He doesn\'t know why the master is so worried about it. In that place no one can touch Zack. For decades, those who tried to intervene in their event were later eliminated by star tower people.

Sir. Lowell McClain \'s expression didn\'t change after hearing that. But he answered in a stern tone, "What do we have to do with their guys? Zack is one of our own. It\'s our responsibility to guard. Though these people clear some mice . But they won\'t specifically safeguard Zack. Since there were a lot of people to protect, there will be  a loophole. I believe some forces will deliberately target him. Because federation branch out there has some issues with surrounding forces."

Then he added, "So you can\'t wait for someone to help him. You go with Elder Thornton to protect him in secret. "

Mr. Jonathan understands Hearing his words. Even if there is a small chance of threat available, you need to clear it immediately. Otherwise there is no point in crying later. He nodded his head and said, "Okay Master, I will depart to Hansen campus quickly."

After having that conversation, both of them ended their call.
