Chapter 133 - First Life Or Death Duel: Won

Daniel's belongings were not taken by me. It happened inside the building. I reasoned that it would be best to hand over the body to his parents. At the very least, I will be able to lessen his family's anger in this way. But I had a sneaking suspicion it would have a smaller impact. Despite this, I choose to take chances.

Thankfully, I didn't hold back and used all of my lightning energy in the previous attack. Otherwise, the conflict would rage on. I almost go out the door while thinking. But I came to a complete stop.

I spun around and dashed towards the body.

In my storage ring, I kept his body and chopped head. I also snatched his both handguns and stuffed them into his storage rings. All of his belongings were on his person. As a result, there's no need to look for it right now. I searched around for any potential flaws.

Recognizing that there isn't any mistake. I took a big breath and exhaled slowly. "I'm on the verge of making a tremendous blunder. Fortunately, I realized it at the last minute." I chastised myself.

I intended to be generous, but I forgot that his body contains traces of lightning energy. A single glance at the burnt corpse is all that is required by higher-ups. They will be aware that Daniel has been electrocuted. My lightning element will then be revealed. I mutter, a wry smirk on my face, "It's like excavating my own grave."

Outside, I hear footsteps for the first time.

I took a big breath when I heard that. And then proceed to the exit. Mr. Arthur Emerson and Ms. Adeline Key were the first to arrive at the front door. They were tense. They didn't blink and just stared at the door.

Mr. Arthur Emerson and Ms. Adeline Key greeted me. As I walk out the door.

"Kid, it appears that you are not in need of a healing pill. Mr. Arthur Emerson, in disbelief, said, "There aren't many injuries in your body."

When Ms. Adeline Key sees the outcome, she is taken aback. She wasn't expecting him to leave like that. They had already prepared a stretcher in case of an emergency. She had previously believed that he would struggle to win this bout. A little sigh escaped her lips.

She then observes that he has a shoulder injury. She looked Mr. Arthur Emerson in the eyes and stated, "He is still recovering from his injuries. We also have no information about his abdominal injuries." She gestures to Zack's shoulder with her finger.

Mr. Arthur Emerson had already recognized the injuries when he heard that. But he had a different idea. He assumed Zack was nearing the end of his life. Several fractured bones, tendons, and Meridian injuries are also expected. That explains why he didn't report his shoulder problem. For him, it's just a little ailment. He has no choice but to obey his own words. He then removed his tiny case and gave it over to Zack.

"Go heal yourself," he advised. Then come see me at my cabin later." In a serious tone, Mr. Arthur Emerson said. He then motions for him to proceed to an adjacent treatment room.

When I heard it, I gave him a kind nod. Then I'll head over to the nearby training room to recuperate.

"Did you see that?" He asked after Zack had left. Mr. Arthur Emerson had inquired of her.

Ms. Adeline Key responded, "What do you mean?"

Mr. Arthur Emerson's eyes squinted as he approached the door. He smiled as he continued, "He doesn't even appear fatigued." In his tone, he expresses surprise.

"Looks like we were scared for nothing," Ms. Adeline Key giggled. To deal with this scenario, he has his own deck of cards."

The result of the life-or-death duel was then declared by Mr. Arthur Emerson.

…

The outcome of the life-or-death combat will be known soon. Displayed on a large screen in the hallways and also communicated over speakers.

"Update on the life-or-death duel. The duel had come to an end. Zack Lockwood was declared as the winner. As a result of the battle, Daniel Haynes died." The announcement reverberated throughout the structure.

When the results were announced, there was a lot of uproars. Some folks were taken aback, while others couldn't believe their eyes. After that, someone else said, "How did this happen? Daniel is a Trainee Apprentice at the highest level." Daniel Haynes is a classmate of his. The results were too much for him to take in. Despite the fact that he is a classmate.

They didn't get along. Daniel Haynes, on the other hand, terrified him. And I was bullied on a daily basis. Daniel was at Peak Level, he knew. He wasn't able to do anything to stop him. Against this, he has developed an instinctual terror. However, now that I've seen the end outcome, I'm not so sure. His heart refused to accept the result.

He murmurs, "He died exactly like that." As he reads the name of the winner. He resolves to never confront this individual. Then, he finally became happy. After confirming that bastard Daniel is dead.

A similar condition can be found all around the world. Some students go through Zack's files to find out what he knows. Some people are eager to meet him.

…

Luke's joy, on the other hand, faded when he saw the outcome. He locked his gaze on Zack's name on the monitor. He's deep in thought. "Even if I were to fight Daniel, I wouldn't come out unhurt." But how did this newbie get it off? "I'm not sure what level he's at." In his head, he made a remark.

"It's no surprise the masked man told him to kill Zack." He has a weird quality about him." He mutters something. However, he quickly develops a nasty grin. He had already made a wise judgment. He is constantly concerned with the variable. He now recognizes Zack as a strange individual. He had plenty of time to prepare for the life-or-death fight.

…

The building's highest level.

"Hahahah." Elder Thornton burst out laughing. He is pleased with the outcome. He never expected to see something like this in his old age. "It's nothing short of a miracle. The odds are stacked against him. "Elder Thornton praises Zack, and he emerges as a winner in the end."

A few elders nodded in agreement. Elder Jensen was one of the few who remained mute. "Thank Goodness. The rules were amended by me at last minute. I wouldn't be able to estimate the factors otherwise." In his heart, he applauded himself. Elder Thornton received no response from him.

…

"He Won!" Maria exclaims with joy. In the discussion hall, she kept her gaze concentrated on the display screen. Seeing Zack's name appear on the computer screen. Her anxiety dissipates. She sighed deeply. Recognizing the peaceful heart.

She then recalls a classmate.

She adjusts her neck slightly to gauge their reaction. She chuckles when she notices this. Steven Conway had already made a boast regarding Zack. Despite the fact that we couldn't witness the battle. He did Shaming Zack with his imaginary running commentary. Blood drained from his face as he saw the outcome. Her Senior Sisters, too, are pale with dread.

When she saw their reaction, she shook her head. They are unaware of Zack's existence. But she was aware of the situation. Candace, Zack, and her. Three of them took part in a blood kill test in order to be admitted to the advanced class. Then she understood that he might be more powerful than she believes. Now that the results have been revealed, they corroborate her earlier prediction.

…

On the one hand, after the outcome was announced. Mr. Arthur Emerson and Ms. Adeline Key enter the arena in order to retrieve the body.

"There isn't a body here." Mr. Arthur Emerson murmured under his breath. Witnessing the platform, he knitted his brows. Zack, he assumed, had taken the body away. If that is the case. They are powerless in this situation.

He also realizes that the elemental aura has totally vanished. He and Ms. Adeline Key then decide to return to their cabin.

…

In the meantime, Zack went inside an adjacent training room.

"Let's see how effective this drug is." In my head, I made a remark. Place the meditation mat on the ground first. I sat down and took out the tiny case.

In that situation, there is a brown pill. I didn't waste any time and consumed the pill without hesitation. The pill dissolves, causing the medicinal liquid to react. I peered inside myself to observe the healing process. The healing energy travels through my veins to the wounded location.

Pill's healing energy is focused on the wounded area of my abdomen. The energy of the green color then seeps into the wounded area. I felt a sense of comfort. But there's something else I'm looking forward to. Before the object has a chance to react. Without it, my injury begins to heal more quickly.

In the blink of an eye. I'm fully recovered. My shoulder went through the same thing. Older tissue is replaced by new tissue. There was no sign of the flaming fire energy's aftermath. "It's a very high-quality pill," I grumbled. As I witnessed the entire procedure.

However, I am dissatisfied with the other aspect. My healing element was not present. To control, it appears that I'll require a healing cultivation method. Then, It will be quite beneficial.. When comes to upcoming battles.
