The Fergus family's living room.
After staying in Master Tulu's alchemy room for a while, Gray and Polly arrived at the room after instructing the servants to pass on Master Tulu's request to Viscount Fergus. In the room, Bernal, Elise, Caroline, and Sarah were all present.
"Sister Polly, you're a middle-rank blood warrior?"
Sarah asked curiously when she saw Polly enter the room. She must have heard about it from Bernal and the others. As for Bernal and the others, it was not difficult for them to see Polly's current realm because they had cultivated together with her.
"Yes, how is it? Amazing, right?"
Polly joked.
"Yes, amazing."
Sarah said after thinking carefully.
"But a little worse than my brother!"
Polly couldn't help but feel proud when she heard the first half of Sarah's words. Although she wasn't a vain person, she still couldn't help but feel happy when praised.
But when she heard the second half, she was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. She couldn't help but glare at Gray "fiercely".
"Gray, I want to duel with you!"
"Uh, there's no need, right?"
Gray scratched his head in distress. Why did this fire suddenly ignite and even spread to him?
Although he was also very curious about the Sidney family's special blood arts, he had no intention of dueling with Polly.
It wasn't because she was a woman or anything like that.
The strength of those who cultivated blood arts didn't depend on their gender, but on the blood arts and realm they cultivated. Therefore, there wasn't much difference between men and women when it came to cultivating blood arts.
Women rarely cultivated blood arts among lesser nobles because they would be married off. Even if they were groomed, they would be groomed by others. Therefore, many lesser nobles were unwilling to let women cultivate blood arts.
And the reason he refused was because he was already a high-rank blood warrior. If he fought with her, he would have to suppress his strength and couldn't reveal the characteristics of the blood fiends he had obtained from consuming blood fiends' blood. The battle would be really boring.
"No, you have to fight with me."
Polly said with a rare air of arrogance. Of course, it was just an act.
"I want to let Sarah know whether her brother or I am better."
"Uh …"
Gray felt a headache coming on. He really didn't want to fight Polly, but looking at Polly's attitude, it was clear that he had to fight.
"Miss Polly, let me be your opponent."
Seeing that Gray really didn't want to fight, Bernal helped Gray out.
"Alright, you're Sarah's brother anyway."
Seeing that Gray was unwilling to make a move, Polly had no choice but to give up and target Bernal.
Naturally, the others would not let go of such an opportunity to watch the battle. Thus, everyone left the living room and walked through the corridor to the White Stone Training Grounds.
They went to the weapons rack and chose their weapons. Bernal chose an ironwood sword, while Polly chose an ironwood saber.
Whoosh!
Knowing that the Sidney family cultivated a special blood technique that was stronger than ordinary blood techniques, Bernal did not hold back and took the initiative to attack.
His legs stepped on the white stone and his figure shot out, quickly pouncing toward Polly.
Just as he was about to reach Polly, he suddenly turned and slid in an arc to Polly's side. Then, he slashed his sword at Polly from the side.
His movements were smooth and extremely swift, fully displaying the Wind Wolf's speed. Clearly, Bernal had practiced this combat method many times.
Whoosh!
Just as Bernal's sword was about to hit Polly, Polly suddenly turned around and slashed at Bernal's sword.
Bang!
The saber and sword clashed.
Pa, pa, pa!
One figure did not move at all, while the other figure retreated rapidly. After retreating for more than a dozen steps, he finally dissipated the huge force from the weapon.
The one who did not move at all was Polly, while the one who had retreated for more than a dozen steps was Bernal.
"What a fast speed, what a powerful strength …"
Gray, who was watching from the side, was inwardly shocked.
In terms of speed, even if Polly was not as fast as Bernal, she was not far behind. And in terms of power, Polly far surpassed Bernal. Just from the fact that she was able to push Bernal back more than a dozen steps, it could be seen how powerful her saber was.
"And these two aspects are not the most powerful aspect of the Sidney family's special blood technique. I heard that the Sidney family's special blood technique is most powerful in terms of defense. Is this the power of the special blood technique?"
Although Gray had tried his best to overestimate the special blood technique, only now did he realize that he had still underestimated it.
If he was the one fighting at the same level, he would definitely lose if he did not use Hanhu's power.
Even if he used Hanhu's power, he did not have absolute confidence that he would be able to defeat his opponent. After all, his opponent's strongest point was still her defense.
Like Gray, Caroline and Elise also looked at Polly in shock.
Was this the power of the special blood technique?
Although they already knew that the special blood technique was extremely powerful, wasn't this too powerful?
On the other hand, Sarah did not understand the intricacies of the blood technique because she had not yet cultivated it. She looked at the two of them curiously, waiting for the outcome of the battle to be decided.
Peng!
After splitting Bernal's leg with her saber, Polly fiercely stomped on the ground. The ground seemed to tremble slightly, and then she sped towards Bernal.
If Bernal's movements were described as nimble like a sports car, then Polly's movements were like a rampaging armored vehicle.
Although his speed may be slower than Bonar's, he had an indomitable aura.
Whoosh!
Knowing that Polly was extremely powerful, Bernal did not dare to clash head-on with her. He increased his speed to the maximum and circled to Polly's side.
However, just as he circled to Polly's side, Polly suddenly turned around and faced Bernal again. The saber in her hand slashed out aggressively, and a violent whistling sound immediately rang out.
"Not good!"
Sensing the power of the saber, Bernal knew that things were not good. He hurriedly used the power of blood and increased his speed to the maximum, dodging the attack with a whoosh.
The saber continued to slash down without slowing down, hitting the white stone slabs on the ground.
Crack!
Several stone slabs were directly split in half by the saber, and the dirt beneath the slabs flew everywhere. Polly quickly stood up, turned around, and slashed out again.
Peng!
Bernal, who had just used the power of blood to appear behind Polly, had his sword blocked and was forced to retreat again.
Although Polly was slower than Bernal in terms of speed, the difference was very small. The time Bernal took to circle behind her was enough for her to turn around and face Bernal again.
Whoosh!
After forcing Bernal to retreat, Polly once again charged at Bernal like an armored vehicle. Bernal could only temporarily avoid the attack and hide to the side.
Peng, peng, peng, pata!
After several exchanges, Bernal's hands became more and more numb. Finally, he could not hold his weapon steadily. The weapon fell, and the battle was declared over.
An overwhelming victory. In the end, Polly defeated Bernal with an overwhelming victory!
Although it was obvious that her combat experience was not as good as Bernal's, her overall strength allowed her to easily win. This was the power of the special blood technique!
"Miss Polly is amazing!"
Bernal said with a wry smile as he picked up the saber that had fallen.
"I only took advantage of the blood technique!"
Polly shook her head.
She put the ironwood saber back on the weapon rack and walked in front of the dazed Sarah. She smiled and waved her finger in front of her eyes.
"How is it?
Do you know how powerful I am now? "
"Yes."
Sarah nodded subconsciously.
"Then, who is more powerful, me or your brother?"
Polly said proudly.
Sarah's gaze moved back and forth between Polly and Gray. For a moment, she was not as certain as before.
Her brother was very powerful and had once defeated Brother Bernal. However, Sister Polly had also defeated Brother Bernal. Moreover, she seemed to be very powerful as well. This made her unable to decide who was stronger.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Bernal shrugged and did not pursue the matter. He looked at Gray "provocatively".
"How about it? Do you want to fight me?"
"No."
Gray shook his head. Unless he was prepared to use Hanhu's strength, he would definitely lose.
…
In a hotel in Fergus City.
The five men in black who had visited the wooden house took off their black shadows and changed into ordinary clothes.
"Captain, the situation is a bit complicated. The daughter of Marquis Sidney, the Sidney family's Master of Medicine, is also in Fergus Castle."
An ordinary-looking woman said.
"I suspect that the formula of the Beast Controlling Elixir has already fallen into the hands of the Sidney family's Master of Medicine."
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."
A man with a beard on his chin said.
"I've already found out that the Fergus family once brought two people to McCarthy Thompson's residence in the Black Earth Forest. These two people clearly came for the Beast Controlling Elixir."
"Captain, we don't have full confidence in dealing with the people brought by the Fergus family and the Sidney family. It seems that we can only wait for the Sidney family to leave and ambush them halfway."
Another man said.
"No, I've already decided to do it tonight!"
The man with purple hair with a scar on his face shook his head.
"Captain, isn't this too hasty?"
The last person said doubtfully.
"The other teams have already started. It won't be long before the news reaches the Sidney family. At that time, the Sidney family will definitely send reinforcements."
The man with purple hair with a scar on his face said.
