Chapter 596 Lightning Ability!

Chapter 596 Lightning Ability!

From MC's perspective:

After confirming that the rune was flickering for real. I accepted the scroll from his hand.

Gasp~

Rebecca gasped internally. She looks at Zack with complicated emotions. She doesn't understand why Zack took this condition.

Franklin Madden grinned ear to ear. Finally, the annoying brat is going to die under his faction member's hands.

In that way, they can redeem the lost reputation of the Flame faction. When the duel was over. The Flame Faction can go back to their old days.

So Franklin already starts imagining the bright days ahead.

The Supreme Elder sighs inwardly. Somehow he has managed to convince this kid. Hereafter the Giant Tower Headmaster won't trouble him.

Then Dean Rebecca took Zack back to her cabin.

Shortly after,

When they returned to the dean's office. Rebecca started asking her a barrage of questions.

Sitting down opposite to her. I thought I couldn't reveal the scroll. But I can tell her something else.

"Dean, I can defeat Kane Patric. Because I have this feeling that I would soon touch the batter," I said to her.

Rebecca eases her brows. The answer seems genuine to her. As far now, Zack has no rival in the Elite level.

But Kane Patric is different. His cultivation method is quite weird. As a result, the flame essence of that cultivation technique is more powerful than other normal methods.

But right now, Zack's answer has assured her.

"Sigh"

"Alright, you can go and prepare for the duel. I'll tell you the dates later. It might be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"But you have to be ready at any time," Rebecca said with a sigh.

She was not as anxious as before. But the expressions of the Supreme Elder and Franklin bothered her mind.

"Zack?" She said,

"Huh?"

"Dean, anything else?" I asked. It's already great that she has calmed down her anger.

"Now, what's more?" I mutter in my heart. But the next second, her words surprised me.

"Are you sure about them?"

"Should I resign my position?" Rebecca asked.

My expression turned serious. Seems like my words are affecting her. Which is good.

"Dean, I'll say it again."

"You should resign from this position and retreat to improve your strength."

"Otherwise, these people will make you a scapegoat," I said in a solemn tone.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with the Supreme Elder?" Rebecca asked.

I shook my head in response.

"I can't spill the secrets right now. But it's good for you and the Academy," I replied.

Rebecca closes her eyes for a moment before making the decision. Then she opened her eyes and met the gaze of Zack.

"Okay, I trust you on this one. I'll resign my position formally after you duel," Rebecca said.

A faint smile appeared on my face. Then I left the room. When I walked out of the office building. I hurriedly rushed out towards my dormitory.

I can't wait to check out the scroll. There is something in it.

Shortly after, I reached my dormitory.

After entering inside, I walked into the training room.

Sitting cross-legged on the platform. I took the scroll from the storage ring and held it in my hand.

Then I opened the scroll and stretched it. When I saw the scroll it looked completely blank. But I know the lightning rune's reaction was real.

So I tried to use my mental power. When my consciousness touched it. The lightning rune starts glowing.

The next second, I saw some ancient writing appearing on the scroll. It was only visible only to my eyes.

But somehow the writing was understandable. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Then I started to read it further.

10 minutes later,

"Ha...Ha...Ha..."

"That's how it is!" I said with joyful laughter.

This ancient writing is not that of a cultivation method or lightning-type technique.

But it's an ability. Similar to perceptual ability. The ancient writing teaches me how to use the lightning power as part of me without having to use the technique itself.

If I want I can use lightning power to create a lightning fist similar to the blood fist. Before I could only utilize a small part of lightning power outside of my body without using the technique.

But this knowledge can allow me to use it however I want. My eyes flickered. This lightning ability seems practical. I can catch the enemy off guard.

After pushing down these thoughts. I began to digest the knowledge.

Time flies,

Meanwhile,

The news about a life-or-death duel starts to spread slowly. At first, no one took the news seriously.

As the news comes from the Flame faction. Everyone thought they were spreading rumors for fun.

But past noon, an official statement was provided by the dean. That the duel was real and official.

Zack Lockwood and Kane Patrick are going to participate in the life-or-death duel. And the duel was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

When the news was released. It sent shock waves across the Academy. The Flame Faction Warriors are happy. But other factions are shocked by the news.

They couldn't believe how Zack Lockwood agreed to this condition. The life-or-death duel condition created a huge anticipation for the duel.

Not only in A-grade institutions but the other institutions were surprised as well.

On the other hand, Jonathan who was in Viper City heard the news. At first, his reaction was normal. But when he heard the condition. His expression changes for a moment.

He decided to go back to the academy.

In the training room, I firmly grasped the knowledge. Then I tried to mobilize lightning essence.

I want to guide the lightning energy towards my arm. Just like I did before in the blood fist move.

But when I tried to do it, It felt difficult. Looks like it would take me some days before doing it.

I frowned. I'm hoping to use the move in the duel. But it looks like it would be difficult. Then I shook my head.

The blood fist is completely different. The blood energy comes from the bones. But for the lightning move.

The lightning energy comes from the dantian. I touched my chin in contemplation.?Then I decided to practice in the meantime.

If it works out, it will be good. If not I can still win the duel against Kane Patrick.

Then I started to practice.

Time files,

When it was dark. I walked out of the training room. The next moment, I saw someone sitting down on the couch.

"Jonathan," I mumbled under my breath. But the smell of sweat is attacking my nostrils.

"You can take a bath first"

Jonathan's voice reached my ears. Then I hurried towards the bath.

20 minutes later,

I changed into comfortable clothes and returned to the living room. Then I sat opposite Jonathan.

When I saw Jonathan looking at me. I understood his meaning. I took the scroll and handed it to him.

A hint of surprise flashes in Jonathan's eyes. Then received the scroll but when he saw there was nothing in it. It was empty.

"What is it?"

"There is nothing here," Jonathan said.

Hearing that I started explaining to him. Jonathan was calm in his heart. But when he realizes it was not a technique but a flexible ability. He was surprised.

Even in the Inner Post, such abilities are hard to come across. Elemental techniques can be practiced by the warriors. However, these abilities may not be acquired by everyone.

Jonathan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect young master Zack to come across such a fortune. Then he also understood that not everyone can see ancient writing.

Only the lightning elemental warriors can do that.

"Young master, this ability will be your trump card when you enter the inner post," Jonathan said.

Hearing that I sighed inwardly before receiving the scroll from him.

"Young master, can you still see the writings," Jonathan asked.

I shook my head.

"It's a pity," Jonathan sighed.

Then he thought of something.

"Young master, how confident are you about the life or death duel," Jonathan asked.

"I'm 100% sure. But I hope that the Supreme Elder won't do shady things during the duel," I replied.

Jonathan's eyes flickered. Now he slightly regrets his previous decisions. He had stopped himself 2 times from warning the Supreme Elder.

If he had done that, then the old man wouldn't dare to set conditions for Zack's duel.

Then both of them spoke for a few minutes before he left the dorm.

On the other hand, I started reading the unread messages. Most of them are from Ernest Kirk. When I opened it, I read the message. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.

Ernest seems to be worried for me. He must be shocked by the news. A faint smile appeared on my face.

Then I began to read the statement given by the dean. The duel is going to be held the day after tomorrow. So I got one more day for practice.

I continued to read the articles. The Flame faction members are actively promoting it. Seeing their post, I sneered inside.
