"You defeated me … with your own strength?"
Lars' expression was dull, as if all the pain in his body had left him at this moment.
Although he had lost, he was not convinced. His opponent had defeated him by relying on a magic weapon, not his own strength. He had lost because of his opponent's magic weapon, not because of his opponent's strength.
He had not truly lost. He was still one of the three strongest people in the younger generation of the three kingdoms. He believed that many people would think so too.
But now that he suddenly knew that his opponent had not used a magical weapon and had defeated him with his own strength, he was stunned.
He was a member of the royal family of the Scarlet Kingdom, the next successor of the Scarlet Kingdom. He had lost in a fair fight, and at the hands of a noble from the Purple Moon Kingdom.
It was hard for him to accept this, and he was unwilling to accept it.
"With his own strength …"
Jewel Kingdom's Princess Glinwei's gaze was slightly dazed.
Lars was one of the three strongest people in the younger generation alongside her. He was an opponent that she had never defeated. Now, this opponent had actually been defeated without any excuses. This caused her heart to involuntarily panic. If her opponent could defeat Lars Scarlet, didn't that mean that he could also defeat her?
"No, it's impossible for him to defeat me. My defence is enough to make me invincible!"
But in the next moment, her gaze became resolute again. Her black pupils were full of sharpness, and her face was in high spirits and filled with confidence.
Her powerful defence had already made her invincible. Even if she had to fight with her opponent, she believed that she would not lose.
Returning to his residence, he found a garden with dense vegetation and used his reverse nurturing ability to heal Gray's injuries.
The benefits of the battle with Lars were huge. His strength had broken through to the second level of the Barbarian Realm, and his battle prowess had greatly increased.
But the disadvantages were also huge. The fact that he had many bloodlines in his body had been exposed. Although it was due to the characteristics of his body and would not attract the attention of others, it was unavoidable that he would be targeted.
If the Raging Flame Kingdom knew about this, in order to prevent this enemy of theirs from growing, they would definitely attack him at all costs.
Not to mention the Flame Kingdom, even the Jewel Kingdom and the Scarlet Kingdom might not want to see him grow.
Although the Purple Moon Kingdom was in an alliance with the Jewel Kingdom and the Scarlet Kingdom, it was formed under the pressure of the Flame Kingdom. The relationship between the three kingdoms was definitely not close. Naturally, they were not willing to see him, who had many bloodlines and was far stronger than his peers, grow.
"He can actually sense the bloodline aura!"
Gray raised his eyebrows. With his ability to transform, he had fused many bloodlines into his own body for so many years, and no one had ever seen through his disguise. He originally thought that no one would be able to see through his disguise, but who would have thought that this Jewel Kingdom's King level master could actually sense the aura of his bloodlines?
"What the other party said, that person with three bloodlines is rather interesting …"
According to what the Jewel Kingdom's King level master said, 300 years ago, there was a person in the Jewel Kingdom who had extremely high adaptability to three specific types of Blood Fiends. Consuming the high-grade blood of these three types of Blood Fiends would almost always cause a mutation.
This kind of physical characteristic was similar to his transformation ability. The only difference was that his transformation ability was not only effective on the three specific types of Blood Fiends. Up until now, he had not found a type of Blood Fiend that could cause his transformation ability to be ineffective.
Also, his transformation ability had a second transformation state. It had nothing to do with one's aptitude. Under this state, his strength could rapidly increase, and this was not something that the other party had.
If the other party had this second transformation state, he would not have stopped at the Barbarian Blood Warrior level.
Under the Jewel Kingdom's relentless nurturing, the other party had stopped at the Barbarian Blood Warrior level. It could only be said that the other party's aptitude was very poor, and he did not have a second transformation state like him.
"Could the other party's three bloodlines and my current transformation ability be a unique ability?"
Gray could not help but suspect that what had happened to the other party and what had happened to him was a unique ability that belonged to only a few people.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for humans to have such abilities, except for the descendants of King level masters and above. However, he could not rule out the possibility that some people's bodies had mutated and gained such abilities, just like him.
"However, before I took over this body, this body should not have the transformation ability. Why did I gain this transformation ability after I took over this body?"
He thought of another question. He had gained the transformation ability after he took over this body. If this body really had the transformation ability, why did it not appear before he took over this body?
"Could it be that because I occupied this body, it triggered a strong stimulation, and this stimulation stimulated this ability?"
Gray guessed uncertainly.
He had too little information and could not make a confident guess based on this foundation.
In a courtyard, Gray, Sophia, Francis, and other people he was familiar with were there.
"Gray, you really gave us a shock. You actually have so many bloodlines!"
Francis joked with a smile.
"You bastard, you've hidden it so deeply!"
Su Feiya also grumbled.
"Sorry, it's too important, so I didn't dare to say it."
Gray explained with a wry smile.
He could feel that these people were truly friends with him, but the transformation ability was too important, so he really did not dare to say it.
"Don't worry, we have no intention of settling the score with you."
Zaloyan smiled and shook his head.
"You actually have so many bloodlines. If it were me, I would definitely not dare to say it. From the reactions of the three King level masters today, it can be seen that if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned for life."
"Seeing that you defeated Lars Scarlet, we'll let you off this time."
Sophia said.
Her face was flawless, and her eyes were as clear and beautiful as a mirror.
For the past few years, she had been pestered by Lars Scarlet to no end. The reason why she liked to leave the capital for a vacation was to avoid Lars Scarlet. Seeing Gray defeat Lars Scarlet, she was the happiest.
"No, you can't let him off so easily. If you want us to forgive you, you just have to defeat Gelinwei Austin in the next exchange match!"
Francis jeered.
"I'll do my best."
Gray revealed a wry smile.
In the next few days, they entered the recovery period, so the exchange match was not held.
And in these few days, the topic that the older generation and the younger generation of the three kingdoms talked about the most was Gray.
Lars, a direct descendant of the Scarlet Kingdom's royal family. His talent was the highest in the Scarlet Kingdom's royal family and had already been confirmed as the next successor of the Scarlet Kingdom.
Such an opponent had actually been defeated, and not by a descendant of the royal family of the other two kingdoms, but by a descendant of a noble of the Purple Moon Kingdom. Moreover, this descendant of a noble was even younger than Lars by a few years.
This result was too shocking. Regardless of whether it was the older generation or the younger generation, many people were so shocked that their jaws dropped. No matter where Gray went, he would be watched by many pairs of eyes.
There was surprise, envy, and expectation in their gazes.
They were surprised that Gray could defeat Lars, envious of Gray's ability to control so many blood fiends, and looking forward to the battle between Gray and Gelinwei.
Gray and Francis were both citizens of the Purple Moon Kingdom, so there shouldn't be a battle between the two of them. But Gray and Gelinwei would definitely fight in the next exchange match, which made them look forward to it.
Gray and Gelinwei's characteristics were quite similar. Both of them had powerful defenses that others couldn't compare to. When the two of them clashed, who would be the stronger one? This was something worth looking forward to.
Of course, there was also hostility in the gazes that looked at Gray. Those were the people of the Scarlet Kingdom.
Gray had defeated Lars in a fair fight, which could be said to have caused the Scarlet Kingdom to lose face. Naturally, they wouldn't be friendly to Gray.
Gray didn't pay attention to these gazes. In the past few days, when he was free, he would go to the castle's library.
By chance, he discovered that the castle's library was very rich. After all, it was an important place of the Jewel Kingdom's royal family, so it naturally wouldn't be too shabby. Not to mention the rich collection of books, many of them were books that Gray had never seen before in the Purple Moon Kingdom.
This made him very happy. With the ability to transform, what he needed the most was knowledge about blood fiends. Only then would he be able to find the blood fiend ability that was most suitable for him among the numerous blood fiends.
"The Gem Beast Sequence … This is probably the blood technique sequence that Her Highness Gelinwei cultivates!"
In one of the books, Gray saw a description of a blood fiend sequence.
This sequence was known as the Gem Beast Sequence. Blood fiends in this sequence possessed earth-type blood fiend abilities that had reached a special level. They could also turn their bodies into gemstones and possess extremely powerful defenses.
This made him think of the blood technique that Princess Gelinwei of the Jewel Kingdom cultivated. He felt that this was very likely one of the blood technique sequences that the royal family of the Jewel Kingdom possessed.
"Gem Transformation, Metallization … I wonder if Gem Transformation and Metallization can be fused together?"
Whether it was Gem Transformation or Metallization, they were both temporary changes to the body's structure, allowing the body to temporarily possess extremely powerful defenses. It could be said that these two abilities were extremely similar.
If these two abilities could be fused together to form an ability that combined both Gem Transformation and Metallization, how powerful would the strengthening effect be?
Of course, this was only the most ideal method. Although Gem Transformation and Metallization could greatly strengthen one's defenses, to a certain extent, these two abilities had already overlapped. The biggest possibility was that these two abilities were incompatible with each other. When one of them was used, the other would not be able to be used.
However, even if there was some hope, he still wanted to give it a try, even if it meant wasting a chance to consume blood fiends' blood. After all, an extremely powerful defense was definitely the best way to survive at a critical moment.
If it wasn't for his current powerful defense, he would have died countless times on the battlefield.
"Let's first investigate the living environment of this type of blood fiend and see what kind of environment it's easy to find this type of blood fiend …"
