Pure Blood

Chen Mo's progress is astonishing.

Alexander Corvinus personally witnessed the tremendous changes that Chen Mo's swordsmanship had undergone during the battle. In such a short time, Chen Mo's improvement in swordsmanship was greater than his hundreds of years of accumulation!

Slowly retracting the longsword from Alexander Corvinus's neck, Chen Mo was very satisfied with the gains from this battle. It could be said that this was the biggest improvement in his combat skills to date.

It must be said here that Alexander Corvinus's life over the past few centuries has not been in vain. In order to deal with the destruction caused by his son William, he has been fighting werewolves for hundreds of years, and the number of werewolves who died by his sword is truly countless.

In his ongoing battles with the powerful werewolf, Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship improved steadily, and his techniques became increasingly refined and formidable over time.

Having honed his skills over hundreds of years, his swordsmanship had become incredibly powerful. His moves were simple, direct, fierce, and ruthless, often ending the life of a werewolf with a single strike.

Unlike the Holy Cross Swordsmanship, which was gradually developed and refined through battles between ordinary human warriors.

This human Knight Sword is characterized by its sweeping and swift movements, but its creators, users, and the enemies it targets are all ordinary human Knight and soldiers.

Although Chen Mo improved it, making it much stronger than the original, it still couldn't compare to the swordsmanship that Alexander Corvinus created in his battle against the fierce and powerful werewolves.

Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship is a swordsmanship created and used by a superhuman powerhouse. It is used to deal with powerful werewolves whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary human soldiers. This swordsmanship is far more suitable for Chen Mo than the Holy Cross Swordsmanship, and can better bring out his full strength.

Therefore, in the battle with Alexander Corvinus, Chen Mo constantly absorbed and learned his swordsmanship, while also integrating it with his own original combat skills.

After all, the various skills and swordsmanship he had learned had their merits. Chen Mo wouldn't completely abandon them and go directly to learn Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Truly powerful combat skills are developed through continuous learning, improvement, integration, and refinement in battle. After all, the strength of one person is limited, and the sword techniques, fist techniques, and other skills created cannot be perfect or flawless.

It is impossible to cover all techniques, and there will always be loopholes and shortcomings. Only by combining the strengths of various schools, learning from their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses, and adjusting and evolving according to one's own actual situation, can one ultimately create the strongest swordsmanship that is truly suitable for oneself!

Now, Chen Mo feels that he is one step closer to this goal.

After the competition, Chen Mo did not mistreat Alexander Corvinus, who was several hundred years old. Instead of putting him in shackles and locking him in the dungeon, he arranged for him to stay in the room next to his own and treated him like a VIP.

Compared to locking him in the dungeon, keeping him by Chen Mo's side is actually the safest option. With his immense strength, ordinary chains cannot restrain him, and the dozens of Knight guarding the dungeon are no match for him. The only one who can suppress him is Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo went to great lengths and spent several years to find him, not just to invite him to the Castle. Alexander Corvinus himself was well aware of this. Chen Mo treated him with courtesy, and he cooperated very well, obediently allowing Chen Mo to draw several test tubes of blood from him.

Then, Chen Mo called Andrew to his study and began preliminary experiments on him.

Andrew did not hesitate at all when given Chen Mo's instructions.

After drinking a drop of Pure Blood, Andrew felt as if something had changed within him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After telling Chen Mo how he felt, Chen Mo carefully observed his skin and noticed that it didn't seem as pale as before. After considering it for a moment, he led him to the curtains.

Since everyone in the Castle except Chen Mo is a vampire, most of the windows in the Castle are sealed with thick wooden boards during the day to prevent them from being damaged by sunlight. Candles and oil lamps are lit in the Castle day and night for illumination.

In the entire Castle, only the room Chen Mo frequented was not boarded up; instead, it was fitted with thick curtains that completely blocked out the sunlight. When no other vampires were around, Chen Mo could enjoy the brightness and warmth of the sunlight all by himself.

Leading Andrew to the curtains, Chen Mo gently pulled them open a little, letting a ray of golden sunlight stream in, adding a touch of brightness and warmth to the otherwise dim and cold study.

"Put your hands out in the sunlight."

Andrew did not hesitate at all when faced with Chen Mo's order. Although he knew that the sunlight would burn his hands and cause him great pain, he would not disobey Chen Mo's orders.

Andrew took two steps forward, raised his right hand, and slowly reached into the golden sunlight.

When the sunlight shone on his hands, Andrew, who had prepared himself for the intense pain of the sun's rays, was surprised to find that he felt no pain at all. Instead, a long-lost warmth emanated from the area where the sunlight was shining, a feeling he hadn't experienced for years.

"My lord! This?..."

Andrew repeatedly turned his hand in the sunlight and found that there was really nothing wrong with it. He looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"The blood of Alexander Corvinus can free you from your fear of the sun."

Chen Mo did not conceal the existence of Andrew's Pure Blood.

Chen Mo was quite satisfied with the result; just one drop of Pure Blood was enough to grant vampires immunity to sunlight.

From then on, they no longer had to hide under heavy, cold full-body armor all day long, and could live a normal life in the sunlight like ordinary people. Little Selene no longer had to be confined to the Castle all day long, and could run and play outside at will. During this time, the lively and active Selene was almost driven crazy by being cooped up.

Ever since she was turned into a vampire, no one has allowed her to go out. She can only return to the workshop through a secret passage connecting the Castle and the workshop cave. Only at night can she run to the square outside the Castle and play alone under the moon for a while.

She hadn't seen blue skies, white clouds, green grass and leaves, or the bright, warm sun high in the sky for a long time.

She longs to bask in the warm sunshine, to run and play with her friends among the grass and flowers, to roll on the grass, to wade in the stream, and to rest under the big tree.

Andrew and the other Knight who often played with little Selene knew all too well her longing for the world outside the Castle.

"Little Selene will be very happy."

Andrew said with a smile that after discovering he could be unafraid of the sun, the first person he thought of was little Selene, who always wanted to run outside the Castle.

Whether he can see the sunlight or not is not so important to him. He has lived an ordinary life under the sun for decades. Now that he has become Knight with great strength, he wears his beloved armor every day and does not feel that there is anything wrong with it.

However, it's always good to have one less fatal weakness.

Who would want to hide in the dark all day when they can move freely in the sunlight?

"Amelia will be very happy too!"

Chen Mo looked at Andrew and said with amusement.

Chen Mo's words made the usually rigid and serious Andrew suddenly become embarrassed, scratching his head and grinning foolishly.

Indeed, from now on, they won't have to be separated by two heavy suits of armor when they're outside during the day. They can look directly at each other's faces, hold each other's hands, and stroll together in the sunlight. Amelia will definitely be very happy.

He's very happy now, but why didn't he think of that earlier? He absolutely can't let Amelia know, or she'll call him an idiot again.

Seeing the deep love Andrew had for Amelia in his eyes, Chen Mo felt a pang of guilt. He had been busy with battles for the past few years, and their wedding had been delayed. It was time to give them a proper wedding.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked towards the study doorway, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Amelia!"

Chen Mo's sudden, deep shout startled Andrew, who quickly turned to look at the closed door of the study.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded from a distance outside the door, and then the study door was gently pushed open, and Amelia walked in from outside with her head down.

"My Lord..."

It turned out that when Chen Mo called Andrew to the study to conduct an experiment, Amelia overheard it and, feeling uneasy, secretly followed him.

Because the matter was of great importance, Chen Mo did not have anyone guarding the outside, but instead used his own senses to monitor the surroundings, which was more reliable than any human guard.

However, although Chen Mo did not arrange for anyone to guard outside the study, Amelia did not approach the study without permission because she was worried about Andrew. Instead, she waited anxiously on one side of the corridor.

Chen Mo was quite pleased with this.

Whatever the reason, eavesdropping on his conversations is absolutely forbidden, and Amelia did a good job of doing that.

Andrew glanced at Amelia, who seemed a little uneasy. He hadn't expected her to secretly hide outside. He was worried that Chen Mo would punish her when he heard Chen Mo give a soft instruction.

"Go and fetch a cup of blood."

"Yes!"

Amelia, who was feeling uneasy, didn't think much of it and quickly accepted the order and left. Andrew, on the other hand, looked at Chen Mo with some confusion, not understanding what Chen Mo meant.

Since vampires cannot eat ordinary food and can only survive on blood, Chen Mo specially built a farm to raise a large number of cattle and sheep to provide blood specifically for the Vampire Knight.

Regarding the effects of the Pure Blood, Chen Mo still has a guess that needs to be verified.
