Chapter 436 Part Five: Zack Is Being Watched

(From MC's perspective)

Seeing the clueless face of the warriors, I laughed in my heart. I never thought I would be so carefree here. Such confidence comes from my Elite level strength.

Then I overhear their conversation. They seemed to have collected several monster cores. Most of them come from looting other warriors.

My eyes gleamed with twinkle after confirmation. Then I shot several needle attacks.

In a blink of an eye, the needle attack reaped the life of the warriors one by one. After killing them, I collected their valuables. Especially the monster cores.

But after looking at the numbers, a strange expression appeared on my face. Because the collection has less than 15 monster cores. This shows that monsters are not easy to kill in this monster zone.

Since I have collected the monster cores easily. I made up my mind to change the route and head in the northern direction.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

I crossed many hurdles on the way. But I feel the competition is getting boring as time goes on. Maybe it is because of my elite-level strength, I feel the environment is not so dangerous for me.

But I remember a teacher saying the rewards for first place are extremely useful to me. So I have no other choice but to kill every monster that I come across.

A few hours later, I reached the northern area. But the scene in front of me amazed me further. There is an extremely wide lake that appeared in front of me.

Seeing that, I used my perceptual ability. When my mind covers the lake, I sense the presence of a deadly fish monster under the lake.

My eyes lit up with surprise. It's rare to see water-type monsters. I don't want to miss this opportunity. But it's a pity, I can't eat the fish. This might be another product of the lab experiment.

To check, I threw the fresh meat of the monster on top of the lake.

Splash!

When the meat pieces dropped into the water. It disappeared from the surface the next second. My mouth curves into an arc. I see the meat pieces pulled down by a nasty fish monster.

The Sharp tooth piranha monster looks way uglier than what is described in library books. But the next scene surprised me even more.

The fresh meat was completely eaten by the fish monster. I'm not fooled by the outer surface. I knew apart from it, many more fish monsters are living in the lake.

And the average strength of the fish monsters appeared to be Class 3. And the lake environment is an added advantage to it. Like the poisonous mists in the east, this lake is extremely dangerous to the warriors.

The image of crimson hall members comes to mind. The Crimson Hall organization is cruel to the core. Not only are their rivals going to be affected by this competition. Even the closest allies will suffer from their calculation.

What a terrible scheme! It even amazes me that these guys can convince the recruiters. Shaking my head, I thought about the teacher. I believe he won't let it go like this.

There will be some kind of retribution for the crimson hall later.

...

Sky Tower,

Meanwhile,

"Hey, who is this person?" Harvey Kim asked out in surprise.

Hearing that everyone's gazes fell on a certain candidate in the northern lake.

Mike Smith from the Saw Scaled Viper Academy immediately recognized the person. "Zack Lockwood," He exclaimed in his heart.

He knew this kid. He has an extraordinary background. One of the reasons he came here is to recruit him specifically.

First Elder Casey's face darkened. The thing he most hated has happened now. How could he forget the face of Zack Lockwood? That kid had ruined their reputation greatly back in Star Tower.

After Crimson Hall launched several assassination attempts, they met with failures. But that kid survived against all the odds. Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth in anger.

The name of Zack Lockwood is written in its must-kill list. He thought Zack would be facing struggles here. But seeing the carefree attitude of the kid, veins began to pop up on his forehead.

The change in Casey's expression was noticed by others.

"Harumph," Harvey Kim snorted coldly. He felt that person disrespected his words.

First Elder Casey felt like a thunderclap rang in his ears. He immediately changed his attitude and apologized to Harvey Kim.

Seeing that other super elite warriors smirked greatly. Harvey Kim eases his eyebrows and lets him talk further.

First Elder Casey then revealed the information about Zack Lockwood.

"Lord, this kid has many secrets. We weren't able to discern his real cultivation level," First Elder Casey added further.

The hatred in his heart is so high that he wanted the super-elite warriors to kill that kid.

Meanwhile,

Mike Smith observes every word that comes from Casey's mouth. He can see that Crimson Hall had formed an enmity with Zack Lockwood.

He knows it will be a matter of time before Crimson Hall disappears from the map. Especially that big man won't let it go.

Outside,

The little drama happening inside the sky tower didn't go unnoticed under two people standing in mid-air.

"Master, this person has great hatred for Zack," Jonathan said in a cold tone.

Hearing that, Lowell McClain revealed no reaction on his face. He simply replied, "Wait for the competition to be over, Mike will take care of him."

Jonathan nodded his head in understanding. He knows that competition will be disturbed if that guy got killed in the middle of the competition.

Since the hatred is forged, Crimson Hall's ending is marked.

Meanwhile,

The Super Elite Warriors revealed a myriad of reactions. How come the person can't even see the cultivation level of the candidate?

"Is it true?" Teresa York asked with a sly smile on her face.

Hearing that First Elder Casey hurriedly nodded his head. He thinks that kid Zack will die for sure. The next moment, a small smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Mike Smith sneered inside. He made up his mind to kill this guy after the competition.

Teresa's eyes lit up with surprise. Seeing that the seed candidate appeared in the northern lake unscathed. It shows that the seed candidate named Zack is strong among the warriors.

The next second, she made a firm decision.

She said, "Alright, I want this candidate."

Hearing that other super elite warriors were quite surprised. Because none of them saw that kid making any move.

Isn't it too early to select the candidate? The same question appeared in everyone's heart. At this time, Harvey Kim sneered inside.

He asked, "Are you after his secrets?"

Teresa York let out a small chuckle. Her gaze collided with Harvey Kim. "What kind of secret have the people from this barren place got?" She said jokingly.

She genuinely thinks that the kid named Zack is strong. And when it comes to secrets everything will be cleared after the competition.

On the other hand, First Elder Casey's face turned ugly. He thought these people would kill Zack to get his secrets. But right after hearing their conversations.

His face discolored even more. "No...No..."

"It looks like they want to recruit him," Casey muttered to himself. No way, if that kid finds out later, then it will be disastrous for Crimson Hall.

What to do? He can't intervene in their discussion. Otherwise, it will raise their dissatisfaction. This further increased the hatred in his heart.

Meanwhile,

June Shelton from Silver Clouds Academy shook his head in disappointment and said, "This kid seems to hail from the army background."

Right after his words, everyone looked at Mike Smith.

"Ahem, he is right. That kid already got a quota to enter our academy," Mike Smith said with a smile.

Teresa's eyes flickered with a cold glint. She almost forgot about the quota system.

Unlike others, Autumn Holt and Eduard Ortega remained silent. They are not interested in recruiting this person.

Eduard Ortega especially doesn't want the person from the Army Federation to enter his organization.

On the other hand, Autumn Holt sighed to herself. She is not in any position to recruit this person. Besides, her organization's cultivation techniques favor female warriors more than male warriors.

But it's a pity that the number of female warriors was less in numbers compared to males. Right now the situation is even worse. The majority of the warriors have already died.

She doesn't think the remaining female warriors can survive the monster's slaughter. Thinking about it, her expression dulled a little bit.

Meanwhile,

After hearing the confirmation from Mike Smith, Harvey Kim stopped talking about it. Since the seed candidate already belongs to the Army Federation then there is no point in talking about it anymore.

Because the Saw Scaled Viper Academy is considered the backbone of the Army federation. The majority of the warriors after their graduation enlist their names to join the Army Federation.

He can already see the future of that particular seed candidate. Then pushing back these thoughts, he set his gaze on the screen.
