Morning, in a forest near Fergus Castle.
The morning dew hung from the branches, sparkling and translucent like pearls.
The crisp chirping of birds was mellow and pleasant to the ears.
The fragrance of plants and flowers spread throughout the forest.
In the depths of the forest, there was an empty space of about two to three hundred square meters. It was cleared by the blood fiends.
The tree stumps were broken at the roots.
In the middle of the empty space, there was a huge blood fiend in the shape of a wolf that was formed by a green glow.
The surrounding air was rotating automatically without any wind, and at the center of the rotation was the huge blood fiend. It was like a wolf spirit that controlled the storm.
After a long while, the wolf-shaped blood beast disappeared, and the silhouette of a black-haired young man was revealed.
His black hair was as black as ink, fluttering in the wind. His eyes were as blue as the sky, extremely deep.
"Seems like I still need some time!"
The empty space in the middle of the forest was purposely created by Gray to prevent the destruction of the house like the previous time.
After consuming the Purple Moon Potion, Gray had reached the critical point between the Berserker grade and the Berserker grade.
As long as he did not break through, he would still be a Berserker. Once he broke through, he would immediately become a Berserker.
Including the time he spent on the road, he had been at this critical point for almost a week, but there were still no signs of a breakthrough. Obviously, it was not easy to break through the critical point between the Berserker grade and the Berserker grade.
There were many books that described the critical point between the Berserker grade and the Berserker grade in detail. The time needed to break through varied.
Those with poor aptitude might not be able to break through in their lifetime without external help.
Those with talent but not that strong would need at least a few years to break through.
Even those with outstanding talent would need at least a few months to half a year to break through.
Gray estimated that he would not need a few months to half a year to break through due to the rapid increase in his strength after the second metamorphosis. However, he was not sure how long it would take.
Gray continued to pay attention to the news in the kingdom as he cultivated.
As expected, there was quite a commotion at the border between the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom. There were even frequent conflicts.
The royal family of the Flame Kingdom proposed a marriage alliance to the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, but they were rejected. This obviously made the royal family of the Flame Kingdom very unhappy.
Under the orders of the royal family of the Flame Kingdom, the guards stationed at the borders of the Flame Kingdom suddenly became active. They often wandered around the borders of the Purple Moon Kingdom and even attacked the border patrol squads of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Unable to bear it any longer, the Purple Moon Kingdom retaliated, and bloodshed occurred from time to time.
Rumors of an impending war spread throughout the Purple Moon Kingdom, and the various noble families had different reactions.
The nobles, who were already very satisfied with their current status, couldn't help but feel worried when they talked about this matter. After all, there were always casualties in war.
On the other hand, the nobles who were eager to make a name for themselves were full of fighting spirit and were actively preparing for war. Once war broke out, they would immediately be able to join the battle.
In such an atmosphere, Gray stayed in Fergus Castle and cultivated peacefully.
He cultivated every morning and afternoon without fail. Occasionally, after he finished his cultivation in the morning and afternoon, he would gather with Sarah, Bernal, and the others in the garden. At night, he would occasionally have sex with Barbara.
He didn't do these things without restraint. He naturally knew that he couldn't indulge in them.
During this period, he also understood some things.
The noble families matched each other not only because of benefits, but also because of reproduction.
It was very difficult for a Blood Warrior, especially someone like him who was already half a step into the Barbarian Level and was extremely powerful to have offspring with an ordinary person.
To be able to produce offspring, the other party would either be a Blood Warrior or the descendant of a Blood Warrior.
The former would have an extremely powerful physique. As for the latter, even if they didn't cultivate blood techniques, their physique would be stronger than ordinary people due to hereditary reasons.
Unknowingly, it had been almost a month since he returned to the castle. He still hadn't broken through to the Barbarian Level. However, he wasn't too anxious because he could faintly feel that the time for him to break through was not far away.
In the morning two days later, it was still the same empty space in the forest.
The giant wolf formed by the green light had an awe-inspiring aura. It was like the king of wolves, and a powerful aura emanated from its body.
As Gray cultivated in this place, the originally noisy forest suddenly quieted down.
Animals were extremely sensitive to auras. When they felt the terrifying aura from the giant green wolf, all the animals distanced themselves and hid.
Today, the green light on the giant green wolf was extremely dazzling. Every strand of hair was vivid and lifelike, as if it was really a living giant wolf.
There was an indescribable aura brewing and taking shape inside the giant wolf's body.
Today, the wind that revolved around the giant wolf was even faster and swifter.
Some leaves fell from the ground and trees and were swept into the wind. Instantly, they spun along with the wind like yellow and green fairies.
Inside the giant green wolf, drops of sweat slid down Gray's forehead. Gray's expression was calm. While maintaining the external cultivation mode, he continued to circulate the internal cultivation mode.
Waves of numbness appeared in his body. It was as if there were numerous invisible hands kneading his body.
In his body, every muscle, every organ, and every bone was rapidly strengthening and improving.
In his heart, the power of blood was also rapidly increasing. It was originally the size of a ping pong ball, but slowly, it became bigger like a rolling snowball.
It wasn't just the volume that was increasing. The internal quality was increasing as well.
If the power of blood was only Qi in the past, then the power of blood was now transforming from Qi into mist.
Although it hadn't completely turned into liquid, small droplets could already be seen.
Every strand and wisp was extremely condensed. If it was re-vaporized, it would definitely be more than ten times its original size.
This transformation didn't end until the power of blood was the size of a baby's fist. At the same time, the transformation of Gray's body also ended.
At this moment.
Awoo — —
The giant green wolf that was originally motionless suddenly moved as if it had come alive.
It roared at the sky, letting out a proud and majestic howl.
The surrounding whirling wind suddenly became violent. It was filled with a green light, mixed with a large amount of white ice crystals. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that they were pieces of ice blades.
The surrounding trees, under this violent whirlwind, were suddenly smashed into pieces, all turned into debris.
The violent gale was like a meat grinder, mincing all tangible things into pieces.
Chi chi chi — —
Then, the violent whirlwind mixed with ice blades suddenly expanded and spread in all directions.
The dense trees in the forest and the large mountain rocks were suddenly cut into pieces as if they had been cut into pieces. Even the soil on the ground was forcibly shaved off.
Some animals hiding in the forest didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into a bloody pulp in the blink of an eye.
This was an apocalyptic scene.
When everything stopped, with the giant green wolf as the center, within a radius of a hundred meters, a large amount of soil had been removed from the ground, and there was a bare, empty space.
The green light gradually dissipated, and the figure of the giant green wolf gradually disappeared. Gray's figure gradually appeared.
"I broke through!"
Without a doubt, he must have broken through.
This kind of movement was exactly the same as the last time he had broken through from a Ferocious Blood Warrior to a Berserker, but the destructive power was more than ten times stronger.
Clenching his fists, Gray felt that his body was full of strength.
Boom!
He punched the ground, and a large part of the ground immediately collapsed. With Gray's fist as the center, several cracks suddenly appeared and spread out for more than ten meters.
At this time, Gray felt that he was extremely powerful. It was as if there was a gushing power in his body, and a feeling of extreme strength arose spontaneously.
At the same time, his five senses became sharper. He could even see ants that had escaped from an ant nest that was buried deep in the ground dozens of meters away.
"According to the introduction in the book, there is a qualitative improvement from the Berserker to the Berserker level. Not only will the power of the blood fiends increase, but the control of the blood fiends will also be greatly improved."
With this thought in mind, Gray raised one hand in the air.
Suddenly, a small green whirlwind appeared in his palm. It could be held in one hand, and it spun rapidly in his palm, but it didn't hurt Gray's hand at all.
With a thought from Gray, the green whirlwind flew out and hit the ground dozens of meters away. Immediately, a pit that was a few meters wide appeared, but there was no ice spreading.
Then, Gray pointed with one finger, and a ball of white cold air suddenly appeared. It shot out and hit the bare ground, covering the surrounding dozens of meters with a layer of ice.
"My control of the blood fiends has indeed improved. Not only can I control the strength of the blood fiends, but I can also separate the ice and wind and use them separately."
Gray deeply understood what was mentioned in the book. After reaching the Berserker level, what kind of experience would it be to have fine control of the blood fiends' abilities.
In the past, the blood fiends' abilities were like a sharp blade to Gray. He could only use them to hack, chop, cut, and cut. Occasionally, he would have to worry about whether or not they would hurt him.
But now, the blood fiends' abilities were like his hands and feet. He could completely control them freely, and he could use them in many ways other than hacking, chopping, cutting, and cutting. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about them hurting him.
Being able to use the blood fiends' abilities separately had many benefits. After all, he didn't always need to use the ice and wind abilities together. Sometimes, using them separately would be better.
