Gospel of Blood

"Did you hear? Lady Charlotte is going to spar with Sir Rand!"

"Oh? Is Sir Rand going to be a punching bag again?"

"No! Sir Rand has become a Starry Sky knight!"

"Huh? Then why is he sparring with Lady Charlotte?"

"But Lady Charlotte has also advanced to First Tier Starry Sky!"

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier! Are they fighting in the training room? Let's go check it out!"

The news of Charlotte sparring with Rand quickly spread throughout the entire Castell Manor.

Upon hearing the news, almost all the servants rushed to the training room.

Watching extraordinary individuals spar was one of the few entertainment options in the world of Myria, especially when the participants were First Tier or above individuals!

Inside the training room, as more and more people gathered to watch, even Sherry, leaning on her cane, limped her way to the scene.

Charlotte and Rand stood in the center of the training room, with the nearest spectators standing several dozen meters away.

However, even this distance wasn't safe, as the destructive power of First Tier individuals was too strong. Several magic apprentices had already been called by Nice to help cast protective spells.

"Meow meow meow? She's going to fight with this little guy? Miss Charlotte seems to be in a good mood and enjoys bullying people."

Muttered the black cat while casting a first-tier magic shield.

But to the others, the two on the field looked completely different.

On one side was the delicate and lovely young girl, and on the other was the tall and sturdy young man.

Neither wore armor or carried weapons, clearly intending to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Although they knew both had reached the First Tier Starry Sky, some servants couldn't help but say.

"Sir Rand has awakened the Stone bloodline, so isn't it unfair for Lady Charlotte?"

"Unfair? Heh."

Hearing the discussion, Nice rolled its eyes.

Then, it turned to the two fighters and said.

"Miss Charlotte, the magic barrier is ready!"

Charlotte nodded and looked at Casimodo. After hesitating for a moment and glancing at Nice, who was munching on dried fish on the side, Casimodo felt somewhat reassured and announced.

"Let the battle... begin!"

As he spoke, everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the sparring grounds.

"Lady Charlotte, you go first. We'll stop at your signal. Let's just test our strength."

Said Rand, bowing respectfully.

"Alright, but you go first."

Charlotte replied with a smile and a shake of her head.

Rand hesitated for a moment. But he still followed Charlotte's words, his expression instantly becoming serious.

"In that case... Lady Charlotte, I'll obey."

With that, he shouted loudly, clenched his fist, and charged towards Charlotte.

His skin gradually hardened like stone, and the terrifying punch generated a whistling sound as it broke through the air, eliciting gasps...

The onlookers could clearly see that as Rand took a step forward, the ground noticeably sank in a large chunk before slowly recovering under Nice's magic.

"Lady Charlotte, my fist now packs two thousand pounds! Please be careful!"

Rand shouted as he charged forward.

Charlotte's expression also became serious.

Having stepped into the First Tier, theoretically, her strength should have surpassed human limits, reaching at least eighteen hundred pounds.

But facing off against a Starry Sky Knight who had awakened the Stone Bloodline, she still had to be cautious.

She took a deep breath and mobilized the power of her bloodline within her.

Charlotte was a Bloodborne.

As the price of becoming Bloodborne, she lacked a Heart of Source Power or a Magic Pool.

However, after advancing to the First Tier, she distinctly felt her heart become a source of power.

The strength of the Bloodbornes stemmed from their bloodlines, and the core of the bloodline... was the heart.

With her intention, Charlotte could feel her heart beating strongly, as the magical power within her blood continuously gathered towards her arms.

She raised her arms, assuming a defensive posture.

Rand closed in instantly, landing a punch on Charlotte's elbow.

A dull roar echoed, causing the entire ground to tremble, even the protective magic rippled, startling Nice.

At the same time, both participants in the sparring were stunned.

In Rand's perception, it felt like his fist had struck a solid rock, not only failing to penetrate the opponent's defense but also causing a reverberating shock that numbed his hand.

Charlotte furrowed her brow instantly, sensing that the opponent's fist seemed... somewhat weak?

"Did you really use all your strength?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Rand was also bewildered.

Huh? Did I... not exert enough force just now?

"Again!"

Rand took a deep breath and clenched his fist once more.

"Hah!"

He shouted and charged towards Charlotte again.

This time, Rand's internal source power erupted completely, using all of his strength!

With each step he took, the ground beneath him cracked, and even Nice's magic took several seconds to repair it.

His punch was even more ferocious, and he flew towards Charlotte like a cannonball.

Feeling the seemingly no stronger than before force, this time, Charlotte only extended one hand...

As the two collided once more, Charlotte remained unmoved, while Rand felt the counterforce on his fist even stronger, making his entire arm numb.

This time, he finally confirmed a terrifying fact: even when he exerted all his strength, he couldn't make the girl budge an inch!

She even only extended one hand!

Ridiculous!

How strong is she really?

Rand's mind was filled with shock as he looked at Charlotte, and he even began to doubt his own strength.

The surrounding spectators, unable to truly feel the terrifying power of the confrontation due to the protective magic, only saw the boy's attacks being easily blocked by Charlotte.

"Rand, are you even trying?"

"Yeah, even Lady Charlotte, you're making it too obvious that you're going easy on him."

Several apprentice knights expressed their dissatisfaction.

Rand's face turned red with frustration.

God, he really wasn't holding back!

Lady Charlotte is just too strong...

Rand's expression became somewhat bewildered.

Why... why did he feel like the gap between himself and Lady Charlotte became even wider after he advanced to First Tier?

"Is it over? Then... let me try my strength."

Charlotte said.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Rand's expression immediately became serious.

He quickly assumed a defensive stance, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing him like this, the onlookers laughed.

"Rand, don't overdo the act!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"No, he's not acting. He's really going all out to defend."

Nice said while nibbling on dried fish.

Really going all out to defend?

The crowd was stunned.

They didn't doubt Nice's words, even though it was just a cat, it could cast magic and divine rituals.

They couldn't help but look at the girl on the field, feeling that her delicate figure had suddenly become mysterious.

Meanwhile, Charlotte continued to concentrate on her magical power.

She could clearly sense the flow of magic in her blood, strengthening her power.

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fist.

At first, she intended to exert full force as well, but thinking back to the opponent's strength just now, she hesitated. She unloaded half of her strength, and after careful consideration, she unloaded some more, only using one-third of her full strength.

Next, she gave a light shout and rushed towards Rand.

The ground beneath her feet instantly shattered, even the protective magic trembled slightly, scaring Nice into exclaiming "Holy cow."

Her petite fist swiftly approached and struck Rand's arms, causing the boy's expression to change drastically.

With a loud bang, the newly advanced Starry Sky Knight was sent flying by a punch, flying over ten meters before crashing into the wall...

After slowly sliding down from the wall, Rand lay down for a while before struggling to sit up.

In the blink of an eye, the entire training room fell silent.

Charlotte also looked at her fist in bewilderment.

Wow...

Is my strength really just at the entry-level of the First Tier?

However, the Stone Bloodline truly lives up to its name.

Even after being thrown over ten meters and lying there for more than ten seconds, Rand still managed to struggle and sit up.

Coughing and trembling in both arms, clearly he hadn't recovered, he looked at the girl with fear in his eyes.

"Cough cough, I... I'm done, no more, I won't fight anymore..."

"Your... your strength, it's... too strong."

Casimodo, who was watching as the referee, snapped out of his daze after a while.

"Lady... Lady Charlotte wins!"

With that said, Nice removed the protective magic, and the crowd erupted into a clamor, swarming over.

"Lady Charlotte... you really just advanced to the First Tier?"

"Rand, did you really not hold back?"

"Total domination... this was a total domination..."

"Lady Charlotte is so strong!"

"Rand, you're so embarrassing..."

The boys and girls chattered, while Charlotte looked at her fist thoughtfully.

However, she quickly put away her inner surprise and said to Casimodo.

"Casimodo, prepare the thing for me, I want to test my strength alone."

Seeing Charlotte's expression, Casimodo immediately understood and quickly said.

"Everyone, go train first, the master wants to conduct a personal test, don't disturb."

Although the boys and girls were very curious about Charlotte's true strength, they knew they had to obey orders, reluctantly leaving the training room.

Charlotte walked in alone, closed the door, and came to the magic sandbag.

Taking a deep breath, she mobilized all her strength, and punched upwards.

With a dull bang, the sandbag trembled violently, almost deforming, and the connected magic stone suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, displaying a series of numbers.

Charlotte looked over, her gaze focused slightly.

That number, eight thousand eight hundred pounds, four times that of Rand's.

Converted into kilograms, she had almost four tons of force with a single punch!

Ridiculous!

Is this the strength expected of a Baron-level Bloodborne?

Isn't strength supposed to be a weakness for the Bloodbornes?

Something's wrong!

There must be something wrong!
