The next day, morning.
After breakfast, Gray found a remote place near the house and began his daily practice. As he practiced, a lifelike sculpture of a wolf seemed to appear in the open space.
In the past two days when he was rushing to Sidney Castle, he had been rushing all day and had no time to practice. Today he finally stabilized and was ready to resume his normal daily practice.
Most of his current rapid improvement in strength comes from the secondary transformation of his body. Even if he does not practice, he can still gain great improvement every day, but this does not mean that his practice will be ineffective.
Although the cultivation talent of the original owner of the body is not the best, among the viscount families, it is still considered outstanding. Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted by Viscount Fergus to become a mad blood warrior and lead the Fergus family to become an earl family. hope.
With such a talent, even if the growth obtained through cultivation is very different from the growth obtained through the second transformation of the body, it is still a huge improvement compared to others.
Gray has never thought about giving up this part of his growth, because only the growth gained from the second transformation of his body plus the growth gained from training, both of which can be ignored, can his strength improve the fastest.
ten minutes.
twenty minutes.
…
One hour.
Two hours.
After practicing for two hours, Gray has entered the fourth practice. There is a lot of sweat on his forehead, but there is still nearly half an hour before his true limit, so Gray continues to practice.
Snap, snap, snap!
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly approached, and a young woman's voice sounded at the same time.
"Master Gray, there is a family visiting!"
"come yet?"
Upon hearing this, Gray's eyes suddenly became sharp and he immediately stopped practicing.
Turning around, he saw a woman running quickly in a maid outfit that was slightly different from the Fergus family maid outfit.
The woman was in her early twenties, and her appearance was just average. The only thing that caught the eye was the spectacular sight of her chest.
Because she was running so fast, she was breathing deeply, and her chest was constantly rising and falling like surging waves, which was really spectacular.
The woman was the maid who arranged the residence for the Sidney family. Gray had previously told her that if anyone from other families came to "visit", they should come here and notify him immediately.
"Master Gray, there is a family visiting!"
Seeing Gray turn around, the woman repeated what she had just said.
"knew!"
Gray nodded, stepped slightly on the ground, and quickly moved towards his "residence".
Although Viscount Fergus had explained last night that the battle with the Oliver family would be fought by Bernal and Ellis, he did not take action to avoid exposing the strength of the mid-level blood warriors.
However, that is only the most ideal situation after all. The Oliver family is a viscount family after all. Although its strength is not as strong as a family like the Richens, it should not be underestimated. It is really hard to say whether Bernal and Ellis can withstand it.
Besides, Gray really doesn't think much of Ellis, a cheater. Not to mention his talent in training, he is also unsatisfactory in terms of combat.
The last battle with Ellis was his first fight in his previous life and this life, but he defeated the opponent who had been fighting for at least two years. It can be seen that this guy is also extremely good at fighting.
If it were Caroline, Gray would be more at ease. Unfortunately, women are generally not allowed to participate in such battles. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Bessemer family, where women are always strong and men are weak.
It was not far from his residence. Even without using the power of blood, Gray still rushed back to his residence in a very short time.
"Well… "
But when he arrived at his residence and came to the living room, Gray couldn't help but look weird.
In the living room, in addition to the members of the Fergus family, there were also members of another family, but the atmosphere was a bit different from what he had imagined.
There were pastries and milk tea on the coffee table. Members of the Fergus family sat cross-legged with members of another family, chatting very leisurely. There was no tense atmosphere as Gray suspected.
And this visiting family was not from the Oliver family as Gray had expected, but from the Harris family.
"How could I forget them!"
Taking the towel handed over by a smart servant next to him, Gray wiped the sweat on his forehead speechlessly.
Although he guessed that the first family to come to challenge was probably the Oliver family, it was just a guess after all. Other viscount families were also possible, so what Gray told the young maid just now was: come and notify me if anyone comes to visit. .
Unexpectedly, the first family to come to visit was the Harris family.
Naturally, the Harris family cannot be the family that comes to challenge. Not to mention that there is no conflict of interest between the two families, and they are still related by marriage. Even with the strength of Kevin Harris, a junior blood warrior, he is not qualified to come. challenge.
“I’ve met Baron Harris, Lady Beth, and brother Kevin!”
Returning the towel to the servant, Gray greeted the three Baron Harriss.
Gray really didn't have a good impression of the three of them. He even wanted to turn around and leave, but with the presence of Viscount Fergus, Mrs. Milan and others, he naturally couldn't do this.
"Hello, Gray, are you going to practice? You are so talented, I didn't expect you to be so serious about practicing."
Baron Harris smiled slightly and responded to Gray enthusiastically.
"Yeah, you practice so hard. Kevin should really learn from Gray."
Mrs. Beth also smiled and answered.
"Um… ?!"
Gray's eyes flashed strangely, are these still the same Baron Harris and Lady Bess
The evening before yesterday, Gray had enjoyed some "cold violence" between the two people in the Harris family living room. Today, the two people's enthusiastic posture was completely different from that of the evening before yesterday. What was going on? ? Could it be that these two people took the wrong medicine
On the contrary, Kevin Harris was quite normal, with a gloomy face and a gloomy look in his eyes. Apparently he was thinking about what he had done the night before, which almost made him unable to step down.
"Brother, this way."
On the side of the living room, Sarah, wearing a beige dress that showed off her cuteness, greeted Gray.
"good."
Gray walked over, touched the other person's smooth black hair that was tied into a pair of ponytails, and sat next to her.
At the same time, he glanced funny at Caroline, who was wearing a purple skirt and holding a book and reading it intently.
The titular sister's obsession with books is unimaginable. She has never seen the book in her hand before, and I don't know where she found it.
"Gray, you are trying too hard. It makes me ashamed."
Bernal looked sideways at him and said half-jokingly.
"Today you and Brother Ellis are the main ones, and I am also free when I am idle."
Gray smiled and explained.
"Haha, since you said so, Ellis and I are determined to be the main players today."
Bernal laughed.
The atmosphere in the living room that had been broken by Gray's arrival was restored again, and everyone began to chat casually again, with Gray sometimes joining in to say a few words.
Although he doesn't speak much, no one will ignore his presence. This is his current status in the Fergus family.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the living room.
When the conversation in the living room ended, Viscount Fergus frowned slightly and asked.
"What's up?"
"Lord Viscount, the Oliver family is here to visit!"
A man's voice sounded outside the living room. The other person should be a male servant in the castle.
"This time it's really here!"
Upon hearing the other party's words, Gray's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Although he did not become the first family to "visit", the other party did come, and it was definitely not "friendly".
"The Oliver family is coming!"
In addition to Gray, the faces of Viscount Fergus, Bernal, Ellis and others in the room also had cold expressions, while the three Baron Harriss had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
They are naturally aware of the conflict between the Fergus family and the Oliver family. Now that the Oliver family has come to visit, it is obvious that they are menacing and have bad intentions.
"Excuse me for a moment!"
Viscount Fergus stood up, apologized to Baron Harris and the other three, then looked at Gray and the others and said.
"Let's go. Although the other party has bad intentions, we can't lose the courtesy of the nobles!"
After speaking, he took the lead to walk out of the living room, and Gray and others also stood up and followed.
After walking out of the living room and entering the hall, Gray saw four people standing in the hall. One of them had a brown beard, a medium build, and a muscular build. He was none other than Worster Oliver, Viscount Oliver, whom he had met once before.
As for the other three people, one of them was a middle-aged lady, and the other two were a young man in his early 20s and a teenager.
Gray had no recollection of these two people and had not seen them in the last territorial battle, but he thought they should be children of the Oliver family.
"Viscount Fergus, long time no see!"
Seeing Viscount Fergus approaching, Viscount Oliver raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a cold voice.
"A few months shouldn't be too long, please come here!"
Viscount Fergus responded coldly, mentioning Viscount Oliver's pain in a subtle way.
A few months ago, naturally, it was during the Territory War. After being defeated in the Territory War, the Oliver family paid 50,000 gold coins in compensation, which will definitely be a pain point for today's Viscount Oliver.
Sure enough, when Viscount Fergus mentioned something that happened a few months ago in a vague way, Viscount Oliver's face turned ugly, and he spoke directly.
"No, you should know the purpose of my visit this time. I just want to ask you, do your Fergus family dare to come to a sparring match?"
Competing is just a more reasonable term compared to "battle". Nobles always like to find some reasonable reasons for their battles. Competing is good. They can learn from each other and improve each other. What a legitimate reason.
"Why don't you dare?"
Viscount Fergus put down his guiding hand, looked at Viscount Oliver again, his blue eyes were deep, and he said.
"Since the Oliver family is interested in this, our Fergus family will naturally accompany us!"
