Chapter 1690: Part 2: The Fifth Opponent (2nd Challenge)

Night Cell Tower

I took my gaze away from my inner vision. I turned towards the elite creature. I saw the elite creature’s dumbfounded reaction.

Then, the elite creature said, "Human, what happened to you?"

"You are stronger than before," the elite creature added.

Hearing that, I smiled and said, "Thanks to you. My strength has improved. Let’s have a serious fight now."

The elite creature felt challenged again. It felt that the human warrior was looking down on it right now. The dark origin power in the elite creature’s body surged forth.

In the blink of an eye, the hard skin of the creature was covered in dark origin power. The elite creature felt charged again.

At the same time, I began to circulate the blood energy force in my body. In the blink of an eye, the blood energy inheritance force flowed through my body. I could feel the surging power from my bones.

I could feel the golden characters in my bones getting triggered. I could feel more blood energy pumping. My strength increased again. The golden characters moved across my red skeleton.

Boom!

The four-legged elite creature charged at me this time. In a flash, the creature appeared before me. The blood energy force reached out to both of my hands.

Boom!

I punched forward. My fists landed squarely on the tail of the creature.

The tail carried dark origin power. Yet, at this moment, the red mark blood energy power destroyed the dark origin power instantly upon contact.

The dark origin power broke. The rest of the red blood energy then surged forth and struck the hard skin of the elite foreign creature.

The red mark level of the red blood energy was more intense and stronger. The flesh of the creature was blasted open. The furious red blood energy entered through the gaps of the wounds and struck its internals.

Weird!

The elite creature let out a weird scream. It could feel the scorching heat in its internals. The red blood energy was destroying its internal organs. The whole creature’s insides were getting fried.

It didn’t take long for the elite creature to bleed to death.

On the other hand, I was satisfied with the result. I controlled the red blood energy. It went back to my bones. The golden letters quieted down.

I returned to my normal self. The fifth creature had now fallen. It was time to face the 6th opponent. I went past the creature and proceeded to approach the gate to the next room.

To be on the safe side, I circulated my blood energy power. Next, I opened the door and stepped inside. I walked towards the middle of the room.

Then, I saw someone waiting for me. It was a black-clothed old woman with a slight hunchbacked posture.

Despite my body undergoing its fourth tempering earlier, I could pick up a threat signal from the old woman. I

It showed how terrifying the old woman was. If I had met her during the half-step Red Mark Stage, I wouldn’t have matched her strength.

"Young man, what’s your name?" the old woman asked.

She raised her head and looked towards me.

Hearing that, I decided to respond.

"My name is Zack Lockwood. I’m from Star University," I replied.

"Star University. When did that bottom-level university produce such a talented warrior? Even I’m getting a sense of danger," the old woman said, sharing her honest opinion.

Hearing that, I didn’t know whether to laugh or not. The old woman was really honest. Then, I started using my bloodline method. The bright blue water drop rune in my mind began to throb.

The bright blue water force began to circulate inside my body.

Swoosh!

The old woman felt the changes in the young man’s body. She raised her head and said, "It’s time to fight. I don’t want to kill the young man, but I have to survive as well."

After saying that, her expression changed drastically. She revealed a cold gaze on her face. She released an attack from her hands.

Boom!

A long water spear shot out from her hands. The long spear was sharp and long. In the blink of an eye, the spear arrived before me. My physique was already tempered four times.

So, my reaction was faster. I evaded the spear the next second.

Swoosh!

The water spear went past me. It went shooting towards the wall. In the blink of an eye, the spear struck the wall.

Boom!

The next second, a deafening noise occurred. The water drops then fell to the ground. The water splattered across the room.

At the same time, I extended my hand. A water drop formed at the tip of my index finger. The water drop was a bright blue color.

The old woman looked at me. She was not surprised. Her face looked serious. She continued to release water drops towards me.

Swoosh!

I evaded the attacks one after another. At the right moment, I shot a finger beam at the old woman. The finger beam went across in a straight line.

In the blink of an eye, the beam reached the old woman. The old woman formed a water shield to block the attack. When the beam hit the water shield...

Swoosh!

A scorching heat came from the water shield. The water beam carried the power of variant water with a high boiling point.

But the old woman’s water shield was strong. It appeared layer after layer and blocked the finger beam easily.

Seeing that, I was not surprised. Her water beam was really strong.

"It’s been a long time since I saw someone proficient with the water element," the ancient spirit said.

"Hmmm, it’s the first time for me to see someone formidable with the water element," I replied in my mind.

The old woman then changed her attack and began to release water arrows this time. The arrows were faster and stronger than the spears.

Swoosh!

But I reacted faster. I evaded her attack easily. The arrows went past my previous spot and struck the ground.

On the other hand, I began to make an assessment. She had a wide range of long-range attacks. It was not easy to get close to her.

If I wanted to improve my bloodline power, I would need to fight well against her.
