"call-"
With a heavy exhalation, Gray exited the training state.
His face was covered with sweat, and he was holding his knees with his hands. He was obviously very tired, but a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"The first practice posture for the fourth time, completed."
The blood method "Wind Wolf" has a total of four training postures. The completion of the first training posture indicates that he has completed 1/4 of the fourth time.
And now it has only been a month since he became a mid-level blood warrior, which was far beyond his expectation.
If he continues at this training speed, he should be able to complete the fourth training in another three months and reach the level of a high-level blood warrior.
This is much earlier than the maximum time of six months he expected, and reached the shortest time among the expectations.
"Master Bernal!"
Suddenly, the maid Barbara's greeting came from the distance. Gray turned his head and saw Bernal, who had dazzling short blond hair and a white battle uniform, walking towards him.
He raised his brows imperceptibly, released his hands holding his knees, stood up straight, and walked towards the other party.
Many people knew that he was practicing in the open space south of the castle, but apart from Sarah, only Ellis had peeked at him.
Others, even Viscount Fergus, have never been here, and they have obviously acquiesced that this place belongs to his private territory.
This time, when Bernal arrived, he felt something "extraordinary".
"Brother Bernal."
Walking over, Gray greeted the other party.
With the misunderstanding about the assassination resolved and the "title" matter, Gray's guard against Bernal has been reduced, at least not as guarded as before.
At the same time, there is still a trace of guilt, as he is likely to take away the other party's right to inherit the title in the future.
Although Gray is not so enthusiastic about the title, he wants more of an aristocratic life, rather than inheriting the title and taking charge of the Fergus family.
However, judging from the current situation, even if he is unwilling to accept it, Viscount Fergus is likely to force him to inherit the title.
If the Fergus family wants to go one step further and compete for the only remaining earl title in the Marquis of Sidney, they need at least one heir to the title with the strength of a mad blood warrior.
Judging from the potential shown by Bernal, without special opportunities, it would be difficult to reach the level of Blood Warrior!
"Um."
Upon hearing Gray's greeting, Bernal responded. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Gray with his blue eyes.
"Gray, fight with me!"
Fergus Castle, White Rock Training Ground.
Gray was wearing a gray battle uniform, with a full head of black hair blowing in the wind, and blue eyes, which were a little less immature than a boy and a little more profound as an adult.
In his hand, there was a wooden sword made of ironwood, 1.4 meters long and 5 centimeters wide.
Opposite him, ten meters away, Bernal in a white battle uniform stood opposite him, also holding a wooden sword made of iron and wood in his hand.
Bernal obviously attached great importance to this battle and tried his best to rely on actual combat. Except for the fact that the weapons were made of wood, there was no difference between it and actual combat.
Next to the White Rock Training Ground, stood Viscount Fergus, Ellis, and Caroline.
Viscount Fergus frowned and relaxed, but in the end he did not stop the battle.
"Brother, come on!"
Ellis was overwhelmingly supportive of Bernal.
Caroline watched calmly, with no intention of supporting either side.
"Gray, use your full strength!"
Looking at Gray, Bernal said with an extremely serious expression.
Judging from the serious expression on his face, it seemed as if he had made some kind of important decision.
"good."
Gray nodded solemnly.
Although it was unclear why Bernal suddenly asked for a battle, he could clearly feel that Bernal valued this battle, and deliberately showing weakness or not using his full strength was disrespectful to Bernal.
Besides, even if he tried his best, he might not be able to defeat Bernal for sure.
Although he is already a mid-level blood warrior and has inherited the fighting talent of this body, his exposure to actual combat is too short and his combat experience is still too lacking.
Bernal, on the other hand, has been exposed to actual combat for at least five years, and has already had killing experience early on. His actual combat experience can be said to be extremely sophisticated. Facing the opponent, if he is not careful, he may be defeated miserably.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, both of them started to move. The distance of more than ten meters was close to each other in the blink of an eye due to their extremely fast speed.
Uh-huh!
Bernal swung the sword in his hand first.
The black ironwood sword tore through the air, with a terrifying whistling sound, and slashed towards Gray like a black shadow from bottom to top.
Whoosh!
Gray, who was charging forward, slammed his right foot on the ground and twisted his ankle. The momentum of his forward movement suddenly changed and he quickly swept towards Boral's right side.
At the same time, he swung the sword behind him and struck Bernal with the sword in reverse.
Bang!
Gray's reverse sword was blocked.
The slashing sword was dodged, and there was a sword slashing from the right. The sword in Bernal's hand turned sharply, drew an arc, and blocked Gray's slashing sword.
Snap, snap, snap!
However, after all, it was a hasty resistance and the strength was not at its strongest. Bernal was directly shaken by the huge force coming from the sword and retreated continuously. He took several steps back before releasing the force.
Bang!
As soon as his feet hit the ground, the ground paved with white slates trembled slightly. Gray's figure quickly rushed towards Bernal. The ironwood sword in his hand came down from top to bottom. With the momentum of splitting mountains and rocks, he slashed vertically with a fierce sword. Down.
Wow—
However, this sword struck the air. The moment before his sword struck, Bernal's figure had disappeared.
Suddenly, it disappeared like a phantom and appeared several meters away. The speed that it exploded in an instant was terrifying.
Obviously, this is the power of blood pouring into the legs, increasing the speed!
Uh-huh!
Moreover, these few meters of lateral movement just made Bernal appear on the left side of Gray. The black ironwood sword was like a black light, cutting straight towards Gray.
call!
Without turning his head, the sound of wind coming from the left side was enough for Gray to determine that the attack came from the left side.
The power of blood poured into his legs, and Gray's body moved to the right like a thunderbolt, narrowly avoiding Bernal's slashing sword. When Bernal's sword was closest to him, it was even less than one centimeter away.
Then he turned back, tilted his body, and stabbed Bernal with his sword, but Bernal retreated sharply and distanced himself.
Whizzing!
After more than ten consecutive fights, except for the collision of their weapons during the first fight between the two, their weapons never collided again.
As people who also practice the blood method "Wind Wolf", the two prefer to rely on speed to deal with the enemy, rather than confronting the enemy head-on.
However, this does not mean that the fight between the two is not thrilling. Rather, the fighting method between the two is more thrilling than the ordinary fighting method.
In several fights, the two men's weapons were less than a few centimeters away from each other's body. If the two men were not holding ironwood swords with no blades, people who saw the two fighting would probably think that the two were fighting for life and death. .
"What a speed!"
Looking at the fighting in the field, Caroline said with a slightly startled voice.
The speed of the lower blood warriors combined with the increase in blood power is already very fast, but compared with the two people in the field, it is still a notch behind.
Being in a different place, if she faced any of the two, she would probably be defeated in a few strokes.
"Hmph, the one who wins in the end will definitely be Big Brother. It's still too early for that guy Gray to catch up with Big Brother!"
Afraid that Viscount Fergus might hear it, Ellis whispered.
After seeing the fight on the field, he had to admit that Gray's strength now far exceeded him.
But he still doesn't think Gray can catch up with his eldest brother Bernal.
On the one hand, it is because of the strong image that his eldest brother Bernal has established in his heart since he was a child. On the other hand, there are also some personal emotions in it.
Although he felt that Gray was a little more pleasing to the eye because he had taken back the cold tiger cub, but between his eldest brother and Gray, he definitely favored his eldest brother.
The fighting in the field is still going on.
Whoosh!
Once again dodging the sweep of Bernal's long sword, Gray appeared on Bernal's right side, preparing to stab Bernal's chest from the side.
Because it is an ironwood sword, it has no edge and the tip is not sharp. In addition, Bernal is still wearing a battle uniform, so Gray is not afraid of hurting the opponent.
Uh-huh!
But at this moment, before he drew his sword, an ironwood sword struck him like a black light, as if it had already known that he would appear here.
"How come it's so fast?"
For the first time, Gray's face showed surprise. Bernal's long sword had already slashed out. How could it come back so quickly
It was too unexpected, and the sword was already very close to him. It was too late to dodge, so he had to raise his sword to block it.
Bang!
Swords collided with each other. One was slashing with all his strength, the other was hastily resisting. Gray was without exception knocked back by the force coming from the sword.
