The Ebulrahan Clan is known as the top Vampire Knight family.
As one of the Three Emperor Clans, the Asiluo Clan ranks even above the Ebulrahan Clan. The reason it is not considered the premier Knight family is that the Asiluo Clan has always been more classical, now sowhat of a niche lineage of swordsn.
The Angel's Thorn practices a form of Battle Qi that is even older than Fighting Spirit.
Fighting Spirit cos from the surging life force of Knights, while Battle Qi originates from the warriors' unyielding and relentless combat will!
Charles had recently mastered the Colorless Blade, and had broken through the First Order of Battle Qi. At this mont, he was channeling the Asiluo Clan's Secret Techniques at full strength, a faint golden glow emanating from his body.
It wasn't until now that he truly appreciated how talented Protagora, the Great Philosopher of the Human Race who created Bloody Glory, really was.
The Blood Clan's Secret Techniques, for the most part, cultivate a single Bloody Vortex.
Bloody Glory, however, can cultivate up to thirteen Bloody Vortexes, and it can also use the other Bloody Vortexes to amplify the power of Bloody Glory, enhancing the strength of thirteen Unique Skills.
The second advantage of Bloody Glory is that it can mimic the thirteen Vampire Clans, to the point that even true Blood Clan mbers cannot see through the disguise.
Without the ability to conceal his identity at will, even if Protagora was incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly wander freely in the Blood Clan's territory, decimating nurous Blood Clan mbers. He could at any ti masquerade as a Blood Clan mber, blending in and thus surviving dozens of encirclents by High Order and even Sacred Order Blood Clan mbers, turning the tables and killing his pursuers.
Until now, Charles had assud that Lord Leo had been careless and that he had just managed to fool him, but at this mont, he understood that Bloody Glory, created by Protagora, truly was an unparalleled Secret Technique and the nesis of the Blood Clan.
The sixth-order Bloody Glory that he cultivated, bit by bit turned into the Asiluo Clan's Stellar Battle Qi, and the pale golden radiance on his body grew from a faint glimr to a bright light.
In a one-on-one duel, the Asiluo Clan's Stellar Battle Qi is more potent than any Special Ability and is even more powerful than powers like Bloody Glory, which are weaker in the early stages.
Cyrus was slightly surprised, but he didn't care in the least and said, "You actually held back during the previous battle. Today, I will teach you that in a life and death struggle, you must give it your all without any hesitation."
The Black Knight's Lance turned into an endless violent wind, stabbing towards Charles from all directions.
Charles moved as if he had grown wings on his ribs, his movent technique light and graceful. His Magic Stabbing Sword, Blood Rose, varied infinitely, each thrust trying to maintain distance, never facing Cyrus head on. But, during the occasional counterattack, the pale golden light gathered by the Colorless Blade would burst forth, evening out the disadvantage of the shorter blade.
After more than twenty exchanges of intense combat, Charles once again found himself at a disadvantage.
In his heart, Cyrus wondered. He couldn't understand how Charles, a re Low Order, even if at the peak of the First Order Transcendent, could exchange so many moves with him, a High Order combatant?
He just felt that his opponent was incredibly fast, even slightly faster than himself, a High Order combatant, and Charles possessed a naturally "Keen Combat Sense" that often allowed him to detect changes in his opponent's techniques and anticipate them, thereby evading the most dangerous points of each attack.
Cyrus thought to himself, "This guy is actually a combat genius!"
"It's just a pity that I practice the Flesh Furnace, which is a Secret Technique for tempering the body. The several Special Abilities I cultivate are also focused on the body, and he seems to know that my flesh and blood have been tempered a thousand tis, attacking every ti at the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and even aiming for the back..."
"This cunning fellow."
At this mont, Charles was giving it his all. He unleashed a series of thrusts, trying to break free from the entanglent and turn the tide, but Cyrus's Black Knight's Lance wrapped around him, pulling him into a storm of spear moves. A reverse elbow strike caved in Charles's chest, and he "lost his life" on the spot.

About fifteen minutes later, Charles appeared again in the Dreamscape. He raised his hands and said, "Let's take a break."
Cyrus pondered for a mont and said, "Sounds good."
Charles quickly sat down cross-legged on the ground and said, "Mama Karen, could you get us a barrel of ale? It would be even better if it's chilled." Enjoy more content from empire
Mama Karen smiled slightly and said, "Everything is available in the Dreamscape; you just can't take it out of the dream."
Without lifting a finger, two barrels of cold and refreshing ale appeared in front of the two young n who were mortal enemies. The barrels even bore the mark of the most famous tavern in Silver Pigeon Fort and were almost indistinguishable from real ale, with no flaws to be found.
Charles opened the ale and took a big gulp, feeling exhilarated all over, and exclaid, "Dreamwalkers are really convenient, it's a sha I didn't choose University of Georgia back then."
Cyrus, imitating Charles, popped open the ale and took a big drink, then said calmly, "Which university did you attend in Baron?"
Charles hesitated slightly, then answered, "I went to Heidelberg University!"
Cyrus nodded and said, "Just as I thought, the Asiluo Clan-sponsored Heidelberg University."
"I attended Tübingen University, the Ebulrahan Clan's family university; Jonathan also studied there."
Charles couldn't continue the conversation, having just killed Jonathan, the leader of the South Ceraph Reclamation Army.
When ntioning the person who raised him, Cyrus couldn't help but talk at length, not caring whether Charles was a good listener or not, and continued, "Jonathan didn't have any Transcendent talents. As a human, he faced discrimination at the universities in Baron, so he had been training from an early age, teaching the Flesh Furnace and Golden Requiem. It was only after I beca a formal Knight that he let go to Tübingen University to study."
"Jonathan repeatedly instructed to only study at Tübingen University and not to beco a Vampire."
"You know, Vampires can't procreate; they can only create new Vampires through the Arcane Rite or the First Embrace."
"Back then, several barons were willing to take as their Descendant, and a professor from Tübingen University was also willing to provide with a full set of Arcane Rite, but because of Jonathan's warnings, I refused them all."
"Jonathan reminded that I am from South Serif, not from Baron. He believed that if I beca a Vampire, I would gradually forget about the South Ceraph restoration."
"Actually, he was right, I really want to beco an Everlasting Kind too!"
"Human life is just too short."
Charles was just chugging his ale, not knowing what to say, and he had no interest in speaking.
Suddenly, Cyrus asked, "Why do you not want to beco a Vampire?"
Charles wiped the alcohol from the corner of his mouth, thought for a while, and then made up a lie, saying, "Because of love."
Mama Karen covered her mouth, her heart filled with mirth.
As soone who had seen all of Charles's investigation reports, Saint Karen knew very well that Charles was spouting nonsense; did he not want to beco a Vampire? The Bloody Glory he cultivated didn't have that function.
