Passing the Test

"But don't keep pushing yourself!"

"Although your physique has been enhanced by the Bloodline Potion, making you more resilient."

"But the potion you used also caused your body to generate dark energy that is beyond your control. In this case, the Healing Spell will not be effective."

"The clash between Light and Darkness Energy will also subject your body to constant energy shocks."

"Even if the energy I input is very weak, the essence of the Saint Realm energy will not be weakened. If it happens too often, the accumulated injuries will become more severe, and it may cause irreversible damage to your body."

"This kind of damage, which involves the very essence of bloodline, is something even I wouldn't dare to guarantee will be healed once the effects of the Bloodline Potion have worn off."

"So, let's stop here."

Then Luoye touched Fengyun's head with his withered, chicken-claw-like hand and said, "You little rascal, it's one thing to use yourself as an experiment when researching Bloodline Studies, but why use Dark Magical Beast as research subjects?"

"I remember that the Church keeps quite a few magical beasts with the Light Attribute. As the Master's child, it would be more suitable for you to use magical beasts with the attribute of light."

"At least if I get injured, the treatment won't be so troublesome!"

Fengyun felt somewhat uncomfortable with the closeness of the Luoye, and at the same time, he was heartbroken by his gradually dissipating inspiration. He frowned and said, "The Church is not very supportive of research on Bloodline Studies."

"Although Lord Marcus can help me find some problematic magical beasts among the captive magical beasts to use as research materials, most of them are low-level magical beasts."

"The research wasn't very effective, so I started using materials from the Level 7 Black Bear I hunted before to conduct my research."

"The Level 7 Dark Magical Beast, the black bear, not only matches my strength, but its attributes also clash with mine."

"After refining it into Bloodline Potion, and then using myself as the test subject to experience its effects, I was able to clearly perceive many details that I would not normally notice."

"I just didn't expect that using a slightly larger dose of the drug this time would cause such a strong rejection and reaction."

At this point, he looked at Luoye with resentment and said, "Could you use that Healing Spell again, Lord Luoye?"

"I have a feeling that this will be of great help to my research on the Bloodline Studies."

Luoye smiled and shook his head, saying, "Bloodline Studies are not something a little guy like you, who isn't even at the Saint Realm, should be studying."

"For you, learning Combat Skill and increasing your fighting spirit is what you should be doing."

At this point, Luoye said gently, "So, little fellow, would you like to join the Ascetic?"

Upon hearing this, Fengyun thought to himself, "The way they're saying it makes it sound like I can simply refuse to join if I don't want to."

On the surface, he happily said, "I am willing to join the Ascetic, Lord Luoye. I am honored to be able to join the Ascetic!"

A kind smile appeared on Luoye's face, and his lips moved as if he was about to say something, but Fengyun continued, "But I heard Lord Marcus say that every Ascetic is a top-notch expert, just like Lord Yosip whom I once met. There is not a single weakling."

"Given my current strength, becoming a member of the Ascetic now would be a disgrace to the name 'Ascetic'."

"Next, I plan to go to the Monster Mountain Range to train hard, seek out powerful monsters to fight and break through. I need to break through to Level 8 to live up to the reputation of us Ascetic."

"I officially identify myself as Ascetic!"

As he spoke, Fengyun's fighting spirit and killing intent surged, revealing his youthful arrogance.

Normally, the process for Fengyun to join the Ascetic should involve having a Level 9 Ascetic guide him, gradually honing his skills until he becomes a qualified Ascetic.

But during the time Marcus served as Fengyun's bodyguard, he increasingly felt Fengyun's extraordinary nature.

From his initial dissatisfaction with Fengyun, who was his personal guard but spent a long time training in the Monster Mountain Range and did not take his duties seriously, to his relief at Fengyun's dedication when he returned to be his personal guard and did not become arrogant because of his talent, to his shock at discovering Fengyun's extraordinary combat power and his admiration for his low-key, hardworking, and never complacent, and always diligent training.

It only took six months!

Fengyun's excellence made Marcus want to play matchmaker for him and Luoye, which is why Fengyun is now showing his free-spirited side!

Under normal circumstances, Fengyun would calmly join ordinary Ascetic and slowly drift through life until the Day of Destruction arrives.

But when faced with Luoye, especially after he clearly sensed Luoye kindness and appreciation, he decided to carefully lower Luoye score he had of them.

Otherwise, even if he can get away with it for a while, he will inevitably run into problems if he spends too much time in contact with Luoye.

Therefore, based on his understanding of Luoye in the original work, directly revealing his killing intent with an arrogant attitude was undoubtedly the best choice for him.

Just like when he participated in the Ascetic Trial, Yosip immediately abandoned him.

But he noticed that Luoye's expression didn't change, and she nodded with satisfaction, saying, "It's good that you have this intention. Go on!"

"I'll be waiting for your return when you break through your limits!"

"I'll give you a big gift then, I guarantee you'll love it!"

These words and expressions, which were not quite what Fengyun had expected, made Fengyun feel that something was wrong, but without saying a word, he clasped his hands in a salute and left.

Seeing this, Lin Lei nodded to Gilmer and then quietly left.

Even after returning home, Fengyun still couldn't figure out why Luoye's attitude towards him was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Meanwhile, in the slums, Gilmer and Marcus were still talking to the Luoye.

Compared to Lin Lei's decisive departure after learning that Luoye had no intention of taking him on as a disciple in the original story, Lin Lei's performance this time was acceptable, so Gilmer's reputation was somewhat better.

Marcus inquired whether Luoye intended to take Fengyun as a disciple, while secretly lamenting that he had specifically instructed Fengyun to be careful with his words, but he hadn't expected him to act so spiritedly.

So... straightforward!

It was already outrageous that Luoye had repeatedly asked Lord Luoye, a dignified Saint Realm, to perform Healing Spell on him, but fortunately Marcus could see that Luoye was not angry. On the contrary, he appreciated Fengyun's actions.

He could even sense that Luoye had a clear intention to take on apprentices!

But unexpectedly, Fengyun unleashed his fighting spirit and killing intent without any concealment. As the most benevolent of the Holy Saint Realm experts among the Saint Realm experts of the Light Church, Luoye, who could peacefully communicate with beggars in the slums, hated killing the most.

Although Luoye didn't show any dissatisfaction in the end, Marcus, who knew Luoye well, could clearly sense that Luoye's emotions had changed.
