Chapter 1691 - 6th Opponent (2nd Challenge)

Night Cell Tower

The old woman continued to release fast-moving arrows at me. I could see the fast-moving hands of the old woman.

Swoosh!

More than 20 water arrows were coming at me. I could see the trajectory of the water arrows clearly. They were all aimed at the vital parts of my body.

The old woman was really cruel. In the blink of an eye, the first water arrow appeared before my face. I moved my head sideways.

Swoosh!

The arrows went past my previous spot with a booming sound. If someone looked at me, they could see that my body was moving from side to side.

In the blink of an eye, I evaded all the water arrows. They all went past me and collided into the walls behind me.

Boom!

The water arrows collapsed, and water drops splashed across the floor. It was easy for me to evade her attacks, but I was more focused on the water drop rune in my mind.

As time went by, I found an opportunity to release finger beams at her.

Boom!

The beam went across in a straight line before striking the old woman. The attack was made at the perfect time.

The old woman was caught off guard. She raised a wall at the last moment. When the water wall appeared...

Boom!

The beam struck the water wall. The powerful variant water beam was able to penetrate the water wall.

Seeing that, the old woman’s expression changed drastically. She used her Inheritance power to strengthen the water wall.

On the other hand, I paid attention to the water rune in my mind. At the same time, my eyes were catching the details of the confrontation.

The old woman’s water wall was getting destroyed. It was giving me inspiration. Seeing that, I continued to release finger beams at short intervals.

Boom!

As time went by, I started to gain inspiration. The variant water drop rune in my mind was getting stronger.

On the other hand, the ancient spirit that was paying attention was dumbfounded. It looked towards the old woman with sympathy.

It knew that the old woman was going to die soon. It looked at Zack Lockwood with bewilderment. The young man was experiencing explosive growth right now.

The ancient spirit wouldn’t be surprised if the young man became a Quasi-God in the future.

...

Council Hall

Elder Freya was looking for updates. Earlier, she came to know that Zack Lockwood had entered the Night Cell Tower again.

She didn’t know what to say. Zack Lockwood was a Red Mark Warrior right now. The young man was on another level now.

He was part of the main post now. Maybe the young man’s strength was greater than most of the Red Mark Warriors living there.

Right then, she got a message from the administration office. She checked the message and was shocked to the core.

She stood frozen there. It was the second time Zack Lockwood was facing the 3-Tier challenge. He was now facing his 6th opponent.

If he defeated the opponent, he would get the option to fight more or leave. If he chose to leave, it would still be considered a success.

She knew that the young man could slay Red Mark Warriors and Elite Creatures even when he was in the Half-Step Red Mark Rank.

Now that the young man had become a full-fledged Red Mark Warrior, she didn’t know how far his strength had grown.

She was looking forward to the next update. She wanted to know whether the young man would dare to face the 7th, 8th, and 9th opponents.

She was also going to update her friend Rowena about it. She would like to know about Zack Lockwood’s updates as well.

On the other hand, the other council elders had gotten the news as well. They had almost forgotten about Zack Lockwood because of the previous battlefield.

They were worried about what elite creature would show up next on the battlefield. Yet, the current news made them shift their attention back to the Night Cell Tower.

They knew that Zack Lockwood had done well on his special battlefield. He had successfully killed all the elite creatures that had appeared.

Yet, the young man didn’t choose to rest and continued his serious practice. Now, he had entered the Night Cell Tower again.

It showed that Zack Lockwood was a serious warrior. Despite being a strong warrior, he had entered the Night Cell Tower to practice again.

They asked the administration office to spread the news.

If there were other warriors worrying about the battlefield, they should pay attention to the Night Cell Tower.

If they looked at the Night Cell Tower, they would understand the seriousness of the matter.

Meanwhile,

The news spread across the place. The administration office popularized the news. When the Red Mark Warriors heard the news, they were shocked.

They, too, had forgotten about Zack Lockwood because they were worried about the next battlefield.

Knowing that Zack Lockwood was doing the 3-Tier challenge, they didn’t know what to say. Unlike Zack Lockwood, they had been wasting time worrying.

It didn’t take long for some people to get motivated. They went to the training facility to train.

Those who were near the Night Cell Tower got the news again. They went to check the Night Cell Tower themselves.

Shortly afterwards,

Some warriors gathered in front of the Night Cell Tower. They saw the display and understood that Zack Lockwood was still fighting against his 6th opponent.

Gasp!

An exclamation rang out in the place. Those who had some doubts were shocked as well. They began to compare themselves.

Most of them had only taken up the 2-Tier challenge.

There, they had fought against 2 or 4 opponents mostly. Now they were seeing a newcomer to the main post doing the 3-Tier challenge for the second time.

Most of the warriors’ faces were grim. They looked at each other. It didn’t take long for the crowd to depart.

They had come here to check. Now that they had verified it for themselves, it was time for them to take up their own training seriously.

Shortly afterwards,

Most of the crowd had left the place. Those who remained wanted to see whether Zack Lockwood was going to come out or not.

They decided to wait and see for some time.
