Gospel of Blood

Charlotte acted upon her thoughts.

Setting aside the various enhancements brought by the "Gospel of Blood", she first wanted to test her own physical qualities to understand the true power of the Starry Sky.

Different races and individuals had varying strengths upon entering the First-tier. Judging solely by feeling was not accurate.

Charlotte wanted to conduct practical tests, which would help her understand her strength at its weakest and formulate how to protect herself.

Afterward, she would delve into understanding the new power of the "Gospel of Blood."

After pondering for a moment, the girl pressed the silver bell on the desk, summoning her personal maid.

"Prepare a set of knight training attire for me, and then have Casimodo open the door to the training room."

In the world of Myria, noble families with extraordinary powers always had training rooms specifically for the training of extraordinary individuals.

Knight families liked to call it the training room, while mage families preferred to call it the meditation room.

The Castell family had produced both mages and knights over the generations, so they had always referred to it as the training room according to noble tradition.

During the days she spent after returning to the manor, Charlotte conducted her daily etiquette training of the newcomers in the training room.

Therefore, the maid was not surprised after hearing Charlotte's instructions and respectfully excused herself.

About fifteen minutes later, Charlotte changed into suitable knight training attire.

Although it's called knight training attire, it was actually a tight-fitting top with elongated riding pants. The main color was white, and the fabric was silk from the Far East, making it silky, comfortable, and light to wear.

Of course, it was also quite expensive, the training attire alone cost over a thousand gold tana.

Wearing the training attire, Charlotte tied her golden hair into a high ponytail, looking a bit less cute and more heroic.

When she arrived at the door of the training room, Casimodo was already waiting there.

"Master."

Casimodo bowed respectfully to Charlotte, looking very excited.

"Help me adjust the testing equipment. I want to test my current physical fitness."

Charlotte commanded her old servant.

Most of the training rooms of the major noble families were equipped with devices specially designed to detect extraordinary strength. These devices were usually alchemy products in nature, a type of magical equipment that even ordinary people could master after training.

These devices were very expensive, crafted by Silver Moon mages, and typically valued at tens of thousands of gold tana. They would assess various aspects of the body such as strength and speed, magical or source power intensity, and magical affinity or sensitivity to source power.

The tests were not particularly accurate, mainly used for self-evaluation by those at the First-tier and below, aiding them in their self-improvement training.

As for more powerful extraordinary individuals... their powers had undergone a qualitative change, beyond what existing tools and equipment could measure. To test their strength, magical probing or direct combat judgment was necessary.

Charlotte was not a knight. As a Bloodborne, she belonged to the magical creatures, but her physical qualities were different from ordinary people. So, the tests she needed to undergo were for strength, speed, magical intensity, and magical affinity.

Excitedly, Casimodo replied to Charlotte's request.

"You've come at the perfect time. Rand and the others are currently inside conducting training!"

"Rand? Training?"

Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Rand was one of the young men and women she had recruited from the outer city, an apprentice knight, considered one of the most talented among the dozens of newcomers.

Usually, the young men and women would undergo extraordinary training in the morning in the training room, and in the afternoon, they would receive etiquette lessons led by Charlotte, with Casimodo assisting, sometimes even sparring with Charlotte.

Of course, almost every time, they would be thoroughly beaten by the seemingly more delicate Charlotte.

However, with such a big event last night and many people even getting injured, she had already given the young men and women an extra day off...

Moreover, because of the chaos last night, some people still hadn't been found, and the Rose Society was still sending people to search.

What was happening today?

"Hehe, you'll see once you go in. It's a surprise!"

Casimodo chuckled without explaining directly.

Hmm? A surprise?

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

She didn't continue to inquire but decisively pushed open the door.

As the door opened, the training room came into view.

The training room of Castell was quite large, almost equivalent to a small sports arena, able to accommodate hundreds of people for daily training without issue.

The training room was bustling with noise, over thirty young men and women were undergoing their daily extraordinary training, honing their magical and source power abilities or simply their physical fitness.

Those who hadn't been injured last night or whose injuries were relatively minor had all come.

Seeing Charlotte, the nearest young men and women's eyes brightened, they stopped their movements and greeted the young lady respectfully.

"Lady Charlotte!"

Their demeanor was even more respectful than the previous week.

And their grateful gazes towards Charlotte were beyond measure.

Yesterday, the young lady had personally led the Demon Hunter Knights to save them and their families, which was quite rare for nobles. Especially considering the danger Charlotte herself faced in the chaos of the outer city last night.

Amid the crisis, Charlotte's status in the hearts of the young men and women had undoubtedly become even more revered.

If before they were merely attracted by the wealth of the Castell family, the promising future, and the beauty and loveliness of their mistress Charlotte...

Now, the vast majority of them truly regarded themselves as members of the Castell family.

"Weren't we supposed to have a day off today? Some of your parents were injured in last night's accident."

Charlotte surveyed the room and said.

Hearing her words, the young men and women looked at each other with complex expressions, feeling somewhat unwilling.

A young man fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"Lady Charlotte... we... we're just too weak. We want to improve our strength as soon as possible."

"We grew up in the outer city. Because our parents were once extraordinary individuals and with the help of the Rose Society, many of us awakened extraordinary powers when we were very young."

"In the outer city... we've always been proud of our strength. But it wasn't until last night that we realized... in front of advanced extraordinary individuals, in front of the Judgment Troops, we are still too weak."

"As knights, we can't even protect our families, and... we even need your protection."

"If it weren't for you last night, perhaps we would have died."

The young man bowed his head in shame.

Hearing the young man's words, other young men and women echoed.

"Yes... we're too weak..."

"We must become stronger as soon as possible..."

Charlotte felt a slight realization.

These young men and women were stirred by the battle with the Inquisition last night.

She sighed and said.

"It's good that everyone wants to become stronger."

"However, advancing to a higher tier isn't something that can be achieved overnight. Everyone needs to take it step by step."

With that, she smiled slightly, her beautiful and innocent smile like a blooming flower, making it difficult for the young men and women to look away.

"Don't worry, from now on, I will hire some instructors specifically to help you improve your extraordinary powers."

"Thank you, Lady Charlotte!"

"Long live Lady Charlotte! Long live Castell!"

The young men and women cheered.

"Alright, you don't need to mind me. Continue your training."

Charlotte said to the young men and women.

The crowd soon dispersed, returning to their training.

However, Casimodo, who was beside Charlotte, seemed hesitant.

"Master, we hired Demon Hunters last night and spent too much gold tana. If we hire professional instructors, we might not have enough money..."

"It's alright, we have the Rose Society. We can select some people from the Rose Society to be instructors."

"That is indeed a way, but forgive me for speaking frankly... the Rose Society was, after all... well, once an underground organization, and each extraordinary individual there is quite formidable. Training under them might be... difficult."

"You mean they might not be able to handle it?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"Wouldn't that be even better? Everyone wants to improve their strength quickly, right? Devilish instructors with devilish training will help them improve their strength faster."

Charlotte said with a smile.

After saying that, she looked at Casimodo again.

"And what about the surprise you mentioned?"

"If it's just the newcomers being enthusiastic, that wouldn't count as a surprise."

"Master, look over there."

Casimodo didn't directly answer but pointed to the annex used for testing physical fitness in the training room.

Charlotte glanced over and saw a crowd of young men and women gathered there, occasionally exclaiming in surprise.

Charlotte had just noticed these people; it seemed they were watching something. She hadn't even noticed their presence when she entered, but now she was somewhat curious.

She walked over without a word and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy at the center of the crowd.

Charlotte recognized him as Rand, an apprentice knight she had high hopes for.

During the etiquette training for newcomers, Charlotte had sparred with them, relying on her bloodborne agility and exceptionally high physical fitness, none of the newcomers were her match.

However, there were some individuals with significantly stronger physical strength, like Rand.

Although Rand was only an apprentice knight, his explosive strength could reach over eight hundred pounds, equivalent to a punch carrying over three hundred kilograms of force, roughly equivalent to a professional boxer in the heavyweight division on Earth.

And he was just a fourteen-year-old boy, weighing less than seventy kilograms.

This was the terrifying aspect of extraordinary strength.

As descendants of extraordinary knights, their awakened source power would continuously reshape their bodies until they surpassed the limits of ordinary people, condensing the heart of source power and entering a higher tier.

When Charlotte trained with them one-on-one, she most enjoyed sparring with this young apprentice knight because his strength was closest to hers and he was the most resilient.

At this moment, with each of Rand's punches, the surrounding young men and women exclaimed in unison, chanting the numbers on the magic sandbag.

"Two thousand four hundred pounds! Two thousand four hundred pounds! He hit two thousand four hundred pounds this time!"

Two thousand four hundred pounds?

Charlotte's heart stirred slightly.

The biggest difference between the First-tier and Zero-tier extraordinary individuals was that first-tier individuals surpassed ordinary people.

And an ordinary person, even with the most professional training and the most robust physique, would find it very difficult to exceed one thousand eight hundred pounds of force, roughly equivalent to the strength of boxing champion Tyson on Earth.

But Tyson weighed over one hundred and ten kilograms.

And now, Rand, who weighed only sixty kilograms, had punched out a force surpassing one thousand kilograms!

This meant only one thing.

Rand had surpassed ordinary people.

"He's a First-tier."

"Rand, he has advanced to the First-tier!"

Casimodo exclaimed excitedly.
