Chapter 46: Preparing for the Tournament
After practicing martial arts, he resumed condensing blood-qi and focused on all the details about the blood Esper technique.
The rest of the day was uneventful. He practiced the whole day and rested for some time and went back to training again.
Several days later, his blood core was stabilized and blood-qi properly integrated. He practiced the martial arts everyday and improved his warrior frame output.
Sitting on his bed, he opened his eyes. The red glow was visible in the faint lighting. It was the day of the tournament. He waited over a week for this day. When the shop manager first told him about the tournament, it was regarding the vampire blood.
Now, Keith was brimming with blood-qi. Sure, he still needed the vampire blood, but after absorbing so much corrupt blood-qi, he completely stabilized it now. Getting more potent blood from high level vampires will destabilize the flow and he will have to retreat for a longer period of time.
There is also a significant chance of blood-qi eruption happening after he absorbed high-level vampire blood. So he didn’t want to absorb vampire blood now. If he could, he wanted to change the tournament date, but it was not within his control.
Getting back from his bed, he stretched his muscles, took a sip of blood. He got ready for today’s event. His uncle invited him to the tournament, seemingly to mend their relationship. To what extent it was true, that remains to be seen.
While getting ready, he heard the door opening.
“Young master, Sir Rufus asked for your presence at the castle gate within an hour.”
Rena said as she entered the room.
A smirk appeared on Keith’s face as he turned around. He was looking forward to the tournament, not only because of the vampire blood, it was more to do with testing his combat strength.
He already cancelled the plans to absorb vampire blood, as he just stabilized his blood core. Still, he didn;t want to pass such an event to gauge his strength against other vampire nobles.
The spars with his uncle were intense, but he wanted to see how others fared against him. He also wanted to see the fights between other powerful vampires.
Turning around, his eyes fell on Rena who was also looking at him curiously.
“Young master, are you going to attend a noble gathering? You look amazing in that dress.”
“Something like that. It’s a noble gathering but not a peaceful one.”
“What’s that?” Rena looked at him, confused.
“Nothing… You look better as well. I see you’ve been eating well these days.” Keith noticed that Rena looked more lively and healthier than before.
Her cheeks were more full and she looked more energetic than before.
“It’s all thanks to the young master. I am just doing my duty as your servant.” Rena spoke with a slightly flushed face.
“Good, just do as I say and you can stay with me as long as you want.” Keith said.
