Therefore, he did not want Fengyun to waste too much effort on him, lest it be a waste of time and yield no results.

But Fengyun didn't seem to care and said, "Studying anyone is still studying!"

"Compared to others, there are far fewer concerns about studying your body and creating secret methods to strengthen your physique. Moreover, the more difficult the research, the greater the rewards and sense of accomplishment upon success."

"To be honest, through studying your bloodline and physical structure, I can feel the power of the Baruch Family's ancestors generation after generation, and I am also more interested in the other three Ultimate Warriors."

"Using your blood as an experimental sample, even a level eight or nine magical beast bloodline would be assimilated and devoured under the impact of an equal amount of blood. Even the Quintessential Blood of Saint Beast, the Purple Striped Black Bear, simply cannot withstand the power in your bloodline."

"Especially the blood of dragon and snake-like magical beasts, which can cause a certain degree of mutation and fusion with your bloodline."

"To be honest, I suspect that it's not just dragon blood, but also the blood of some powerful snake-like magical beasts could be used as materials for awakening your family's bloodline."

"Moreover, compared to the highly corrosive and aggressive dragon blood, the absorption and fusion of snake blood is much simpler, if..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei's previously proud and arrogant expression regarding his powerful bloodline turned slightly melancholic, because apart from him and his younger brother Walton, who was far away in the O'Brien Empire, there was no one else left in the entire Baruch Family.

His most beloved father died tragically at the time of his rise to fame. Even if Fengyun made some research that would benefit the awakening of the Baruch Family's Bloodline Awakening, there was no one who could cooperate with the experiment.

Sensing Lin Lei's dejection, Fengyun patted him on the shoulder and changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry, Lin Lei, just bear with it for a while longer. Before long, your chance for revenge will come."

Lin Lei's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Because of Duke Pardeson's status, neither he nor Fengyun could openly take action against him.

Lin Lei was originally planning to kill his father in his Dragonization form in the rage of his father's death, but Fengyun told him to be patient for a while and that there would be a better opportunity to strike later.

If he couldn't control himself and attacked Pardeson, it would alert other people involved in the matter and could affect Lin Lei's subsequent revenge.

It will become troublesome to investigate his mother's death later!

Knowing that Fengyun was hiding his identity, Lin Lei did not doubt Fengyun's words, and thus patiently waited for his opportunity. Now that Fengyun told him that the time for revenge was approaching, he was naturally excited.

Lin Lei suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and asked, "What opportunity?"

Fengyun laughed and said, "The Debs Family's smuggling of Water Jade involves huge interests."

"If they dare to do something like this, there must be powerful people supporting them. Do you know who is behind the Debs Family supporting their smuggling activities?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei immediately realized that the person behind the Debs Family must be Pardeson. He frowned and said, "Pardeson? But what does this have to do with my revenge?"

"Brother Yun, do you want me to report this matter to His Majesty so that His Majesty can punish Pardeson, and I will take the opportunity to kill and interrogate Pardeson?"

Fengyun shook his head and said, "Clyde will certainly not let Pardeson off easily for what he did, but reporting this matter directly to Clyde is a bad idea."

"The reason I'm telling you this is because Pardeson himself knows he's about to be exposed."

"In the imperial family, kinship is very weak!"

"Pardeson doesn't believe his Clyde will let him go, so what do you think Pardeson would most like to do at this moment?"

A glint flashed in Lin Lei's eyes as he said, "Escape. Pardeson wants to escape the Finley Kingdom."

Fengyun nodded and said, "That's right, he plans to run away."

"But given his status, it won't be easy for him to escape. Or rather, as long as he can't let go of the wealth he's accumulated over the years, he won't be able to run away."

"If he wants to run away, he must first pave the way for his escape and ensure that he can take all the wealth he has accumulated over the years with him."

"He avoids contacting any forces capable of helping him, otherwise, if Clyde notices something amiss, he will have no chance to escape."

"And so, you, who appeared out of nowhere, became Duke Pardeson's first choice!"

Lin Lei frowned and said, "What do you mean? I can help him escape?"

Fengyun smiled and said, "You can't, but you and the Yale professor are roommates and have a good relationship."

"Through you, he can get in touch with the Yale boss and the Dawson Merchant Guild of Commerce."

"With the power of the Dawson Merchant Guild, as long as he can get Dawson Merchant Guild help, his escape is practically guaranteed!"

"Moreover, given your current status, there's nothing wrong with him befriending you."

Lin Lei suddenly realized, "So, Pardeson would find an opportunity to come see me specifically."

"He'll come to you on his own!"

Fengyun laughed and said, "Not only will he come to see you, but I believe he will also take care of all the cleanup work. At that time, no matter what you do, it won't matter..."

Swish swish swish~

While Fengyun and Lin Lei were talking, a number of throwing knives and arrows suddenly shot towards them.

At the same time, rings of black mist rose from all sides and enveloped them.

"Dark Magic - Corrosive Poison!"

After saying this with a sigh, Fengyun shook his head and thought to himself, "Didn't I already say that I would slowly persuade Lin Lei to join the Darkness Church? Don't be too hasty."

"Why did they come charging straight at us like this?"

"This is really putting me in a difficult position!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen sword lights flashed and disappeared from his Light Shadow Blade!

The fog dissipates, the enemy is dead!

Sigh~

After sighing again, Fengyun signaled Lin Lei to finish off the assassins to cover up his actions.

Lin Lei looked at the black-clad assassin who was instantly killed by Fengyun, and his heart was stirred. Half a year ago, after his Bloodline Awakening Dragonization, he directly reached the Level 8 of strength.

At that time, he fought with Fengyun, and their fighting strength was about the same. With a little effort, he could surpass Fengyun.

But unexpectedly, Fengyun broke through his cultivation level and increased his combat power in the blink of an eye.

At that time, having awakened his bloodline, he believed that he had finally become Dragon Blood Warrior and that his strength would rapidly improve, and that he still had a chance to surpass Fengyun.

But who knew that in the past six months, he discovered that Fengyun's cultivation speed was also quite fast.

Although its basic strength has not improved as quickly as it has, its overall combat power has become increasingly terrifying.

In the past six months, the time when he realized that the gap between his overall strength and Fengyun's was the smallest was when he awakened his bloodline six months ago.

During the assassination attempt just now, he could sense that none of the black-clad assassins were below Level 7, and the leader was at least Level 8.

Even if it were him, he would probably still have to fight a big battle after Dragonization!

But even this group of people couldn't withstand a single move from Fengyun!
