Chapter 1644: Part 1: Half-Step Red Mark Warrior

United City - (Tier-3 Sub-Post)

Time passed.

The lightning affinity stones began to be consumed one after another. The dark purple lightning sprout was being strengthened as well.

On the other hand, I was spending time on new inspiration. The density of the purple lightning rune was getting deeper.

It was also reaching the same level as the blood energy force rune. I had decided not to end the practice until the affinity stones came to an end.

At the same time, the ancient spirit was keeping a strict watch on Zack Lockwood. It thought that the young man was once again putting a burden on the route.

It decided to remind him if the practice became too much.

Two hours later,

I took a short break again. The dark purple lightning rune was denser now. The density level was similar to the blood rune in my mind.

I extended my hand. My right hand was covered in a lightning film. This time, the dark purple lightning film was denser.

A flicker of interest appeared in my eyes. The strength of the dark purple lightning film was greater than before. Next, I retrieved the purple lightning film.

My hand returned to normal. I closed my eyes and began to pay attention to the route. In order to speed up the recovery, I started running the incomplete ancient healing technique.

The healing force drifted towards the body. The healing force entered the body. I guided the healing force through the body.

As the healing force traveled along the route, the burdened routes were recovering. The energy in the Tier-3 region contained a special energy.

So I felt the cold and warm energy traveling in the route. At the same time, the burdened routes were recovering faster.

Time passed.

I resumed the practice an hour later.

...

Dark Planet

The Quasi-God Powerhouses were busy protecting their territory. The Quasi-God Powerhouses from the human side were attacking their posts.

They had somehow found a way to open a small barrier before attacking their post. Earlier, they had taken time to act. In that time, numerous posts were attacked.

As a result, a large number of foreign creatures were killed and their posts were destroyed. It was a considerable loss for the foreign creatures’ side.

They were the ones who had broken the rules earlier. If they continued to act like this, then the human side would launch more surprise attacks.

For now, the foreign creatures didn’t have time to focus on the battlefields on the human side, including the battlefields in the Tier-4 and Tier-3 regions.

...

United City

The new influx of warriors had caused the city to return to normalcy. The burden on the medical centre had lessened.

The healers who had come from the main post returned to the main post. Since battles were not taking place, all the training facilities had become busy.

Residence

I ended up consuming the Red Mark resources one by one, especially the physique-strengthening pills and lightning affinity stones.

Days passed by.

The Blood Rune and the Lightning Bolt Rune had entered the Half-Step Red Mark Stage. The whole physique underwent a transformation.

The special energy entered the physique in large quantities. Compared to the force energy, the special energy was equal in quantity. It raised the strength of the physique.

Not only did the special energy increase the power of the resident forces in the dantian, but the blood energy force and the dark purple lightning inheritance force also reached the level of the Half-Step Red Mark.

The other inheritance forces were still at the level of the Purple Mark rank, but they were pushed further because of the improvement in the physique.

The following day,

I forgot about the people outside. I didn’t know what was happening out there in United City; I was totally into the practice.

I entered the essence chamber and started practicing the bloodline method. I put my focus on the visualization method.

As time passed, the bloodline power in the body was stirred. Unfortunately, there were no resources for the bloodline power in the body.

I had to put time and effort into raising the bloodline power to the Half-Step Red Mark level.

Meanwhile,

In the council hall, the council elders were busy overseeing the training of the newly arrived warriors.

They were getting used to the power of the special energy. The warriors were also spending time in the training camps to adapt their strength to the new place.

So the warriors and the elders slowly forgot about Zack Lockwood. It wasn’t that they had completely forgotten him; it was just that they had stopped thinking about Zack Lockwood on a day-to-day basis.

Except for one person. That person was none other than Elder Rowena. Elder Rowena wanted to know about Zack Lockwood’s current status.

It had been several days since they gave the resources to Zack Lockwood, but they didn’t know what was going on with him.

Even her friend Freya had asked her earlier. She told her that he was practicing, but she didn’t actually know what was going on.

Elder Rowena grew curious. She immediately called Marie and asked her. Marie too didn’t know what was going on with Zack Lockwood.

Rowena told her to check on Zack Lockwood. She wanted to know what was going on and whether he was practicing or not.

Marie obeyed the order. She decided to go later in the evening.

Time passed.

When evening arrived, Marie went to Zack Lockwood’s flat unannounced. She arrived in front of the room and knocked on the door.

As the seconds passed, there was no response from inside. She wondered whether Zack Lockwood was in the room or not.

However, she checked with the administration staff and confirmed that Zack Lockwood hadn’t gone to the training camps. They said that it had been several days since Zack Lockwood came to the training camp.

So there was no other place Zack Lockwood could go. The administration staff had delivered the resources directly to Zack Lockwood here.

She then realised Zack Lockwood could be inside the essence chamber. She took out her device and texted him about her arrival.
