To meet the vampires' need for blood, Chen Mo specially built a breeding farm to provide fresh blood for the Knights and the workshop.

Of course, vampires don't need blood as frequently as humans need food. As long as they are not injured, they can go for several days without drinking blood without any problems.

However, once injured, vampires have an urgent need for blood, and enough blood can help them recover quickly and become as good as new.

Fresh blood had just been delivered to the Castle, and before long, Amelia returned to Chen Mo's study with a glass of bright red blood.

Chen Mo waved to her, signaling her to hand the blood to Andrew was standing to the side.

After taking the glass of animal blood from Amelia, Andrew looked at Chen Mo with some confusion.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Upon hearing this, Andrew glanced at the blood on his hand, but without thinking much of it, he brought the cup to his lips and took a small sip.

As the blood entered his mouth, Andrew's brows suddenly furrowed, and then he spat out the blood.

"How about it?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"It tastes awful, it has a strong, fishy smell. Is the blood not fresh?"

As Andrew spoke, he turned to look at Amelia, who had brought the blood, and asked uncertainly.

Amelia looked puzzled upon hearing this. It shouldn't be like this; the blood had just been delivered and collected from the livestock, and it was very fresh.

She believed that the people at the farm would never dare to send stale blood into the Castle.

Moreover, she had smelled the blood when it was drawn before, and it was indeed fresh blood.

Taking two steps forward, Amelia reached out and took the wine glass from Andrew's hand. She first smelled it under her nose, found nothing wrong, and then brought it to her lips and took a small sip.

Amelia swallowed the blood with a look of enjoyment, then looked at Andrew with some confusion.

"It's very fresh blood, there's nothing wrong with it, what's wrong with you?"

Andrew did not answer her question, but turned to look at Chen Mo.

"My Lord, what is this...?"

"It seems that your defect has been completely made up for, and I think you can now enjoy food as before."

After being transformed into vampires, their only food is blood. All the foods that were once delicious become unpalatable to them, and even if they manage to swallow them, they will eventually vomit them all out.

Chen Mo speculated that this was because after being transformed into vampires, their sense of smell, taste, brain sensation, and the entire digestive system all changed.

Just like sheep eat grass and wolves eat meat, different creatures have different needs and feelings about food. The stomachs of carnivores can no longer digest coarse fibrous plants, and vampires can no longer eat food other than blood.

What smells foul to ordinary humans is delicious and fragrant to vampires.

However, compared to the monotony of blood, Andrew was very happy to be able to continue enjoying human food, which made him feel like he had become a human again, instead of a blood-sucking monster.

Are there any other changes?

Chen Mo's question interrupted Andrew's reverie about the food.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Andrew carefully sensed the changes in his body, then drew his longsword and swung it around in place, but found no other changes.

Sheathing his longsword, Andrew spoke solemnly to Chen Mo.

"Sir, no other changes have been found."

Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this. It seemed that the effect of a drop of Pure Blood was limited to compensating for the vampire's shortcomings, without enhancing its strength.

Amelia, standing to the side, was somewhat confused by their conversation and looked at them with a blank expression.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, not in a hurry to answer her questions, but instead picked up the test tube containing Alexander Corvinus's blood and handed it to Andrew.

"Drink them all."

This time, Andrew wasn't as decisive as the first time; he frowned before drinking all the blood in the test tube.

This time, he could clearly feel that something huge had happened in his body.

"My Lord, my body seems to be changing!"

Before Chen Mo could ask, Andrew clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling the changes in his body, and spoke somewhat uncertainly.

Seemingly feeling that his perception wasn't quite right, Andrew drew his longsword again, preparing to wield it and test it out.

Amelia, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a "whoosh," she drew her long sword from her waist and strode forward to stand next to Andrew.

"Let me take a look and see what changes have occurred in your body!"

As she spoke, Amelia turned and looked at Chen Mo with a serious expression, waiting for his approval.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle. In his mind, he recalled the scene at Marquis Leonard's Castle when Amelia angrily and resolutely stood up, drew her sword, and prepared to lead her Knight to fight Chen Mo to the death after hearing that Chen Mo had come to propose marriage.

Clearly, the proud and straightforward Amelia angry because the two of them were keeping her in suspense. Unable to do anything about Chen Mo, she decided to take her anger out on poor Andrew.

Chen Mo glanced at the somewhat bewildered Andrew, smiled, and nodded gently.

With Chen Mo's permission, Amelia turned to Andrew, glared at him fiercely with her beautiful eyes, and then shouted and charged forward with her sword.

Seeing this, Andrew quickly raised his sword to parry, but Amelia showed no mercy, relentlessly slashing at him with her longsword. The two began to fight in Chen Mo's spacious study.

Originally, Andrew was slightly stronger than Amelia, but he had always lost their previous matches.

For fear of accidentally hurting her, Andrew never dared to use his full strength and always carefully yielded to Amelia.

This time was no exception; Andrew still opted for a defensive approach. However, after a few moves, both players noticed a difference.

Despite Andrew's deliberate holding back, Amelia still felt immense pressure. In their brief exchange, Andrew's strength and speed far surpassed hers.

As the swords clashed, Amelia felt an immense force, far greater than before, emanating from Andrew's sword, so strong that her hand went numb. Had Andrew not stopped in time, the sword might have been knocked away from her hand.

The two stopped fighting after a short while. Amelia looked at Andrew in surprise, not understanding how his strength had suddenly increased so much.

However, being Amelia, she was not stupid at all. She immediately connected the two's conversation with the blood in the test tube that Andrew had drunk.

"What was that blood just now?..."

Andrew did not answer Amelia's question, but turned to look at Chen Mo. Although the question came from his beloved, he would never reveal the secret without Chen Mo's permission.

Seeing this, Amelia realized what was happening and turned to look at Chen Mo. She knew this matter must be very important, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, wondering if Chen Mo would allow her to know.

Chen Mo had nothing to hide from his loyal subordinates and told them everything about Alexander Corvinus's identity and the secret of his bloodline.

He had witnessed the fight between the two. Although Andrew had deliberately held back and hadn't used his full strength, Chen Mo still accurately judged his current level of strength.

After drinking the entire test tube of Pure Blood, Andrew's strength improved significantly. He already had more than three times the physical attributes of an average person, but now his physical attributes have increased to five times that of an average person, making him comparable to Captain America Steve after being modified with the Enhanced Super Soldier Serum.

Wanting to see the limits of the Pure Blood's enhancement effect on vampires, Chen Mo had Andrew drink another vial of Pure Blood. However, this time, apart from making him feel more energetic and his blood boiling, it did not further enhance his strength.

It seems that the previous dose of Pure Blood had already reached the limit of its enhancement for vampires. Drinking more would be useless and might even exceed the body's capacity, causing it to burst.

After the initial experiment was successful, Chen Mo ordered someone to summon Victor to his study. These three were Chen Mo's most capable subordinates, as well as his most loyal and strongest Knight.

Looking at the three trusted subordinates standing in front of him, Chen Mo took two test tubes filled with bright red blood from the shelf on the table and handed them to Amelia, who was full of excitement, and Victor, who was full of doubt.

"Andrew, explain this to Victor."

As Chen Mo spoke, he turned around and sat back down in his chair. After Andrew finished explaining Alexander Corvinus's origins and the function of the blood in the test tube they held, he raised his finger to Victor and Amelia, whose expressions had also become excited, signaling them to drink the Pure Blood.

Soon, Victor and Amelia also absorbed the Pure Blood, completed their enhancement, and both broke through their limits, reaching five times the physical attributes of an ordinary person. Of course, due to the characteristics of vampires, their speed was still slightly stronger than their strength.

Chen Mo only told Alexander Corvinus and the secret of the Pure Blood to the three of them, and did not intend to let more people know.

In fact, after years of fighting, all the Knight in the Temple Knights have become more and more loyal to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo is not worried that they will betray him or reveal the secret of the Pure Blood.

The reason why the secret of controlling the Pure Blood was only known to Andrew and a few others was not to guard against the Knights, but to guard against ambitious people who might appear in the future. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and it is better to keep some secrets tightly sealed. The more people who know, the more likely problems will arise.

"Now, you all go outside and stand guard for me. Without my permission, you are not allowed to let anyone in!"

The effects of the Pure Blood have been proven; now it's his turn!
