The strength of a vampire's constitution is far beyond that of an ordinary person. This can be seen from the most basic attributes; Bu's initial attributes are twice as strong as those of an average person.
Moreover, Bu possesses the Upgrade System, which digitizes all substances. For instance, the Snow Sun Pill requires a Common Person to gradually stimulate and absorb its medicinal effects within their body, making it a slow and progressive process.
However, when Bu consumes this pill, there is no need for the gradual induction and absorption process. As soon as the pill enters his body, it transforms into a stream of data, directly reflected on his personal attribute status panel, continuously increasing in percentage. In an instant, the effects of the medicine reach their maximum, allowing him to fully absorb its potency in a very short time.
"I'm fine now, no need to worry," Bu said with a grin, feeling that his injuries had mostly healed, smiling at the concerned Wendy.
"Um..." The girl responded softly, her face slightly flushed as she blinked her big eyes at Bu with tenderness.
Suddenly, a Cool Breeze swept by, brushing past Bu's ears and lifting Wendy's hair tips while playfully stirring her skirt.
At that moment, the night air was fragrant. The blushing girl with flowing azure hair dancing in the wind appeared to Bu like a celestial being from Avatar, exuding an ethereal beauty that made him momentarily lose his focus.
This breeze reached Warren Earl, causing his gaze to turn cold. Unable to suppress his displeasure, he let out a disdainful snort and shot a fierce glare at Bu, disrupting the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
Breaking this moment, Wendy was the first to react. Like a startled white rabbit, she let out a soft gasp and glanced at Warren Earl, then shyly looked away from Bu and lowered her head.
"Uh, cough cough." Feeling embarrassed under Warren Earl's sharp gaze, Bu chuckled awkwardly. After all, it was somewhat inappropriate to stare at someone else's daughter right in front of her father.
"Son, have you ever taken pills similar to the Snow Sun Pill before?" Warren Earl asked quietly while observing Bu with a glint in his eyes.
"Um?" Bu was taken aback and instinctively replied, "No, this is my first time taking a pill." He smacked his lips and looked at the bottle in his hand with a smile. "I didn't expect the Snow Sun Pill to be so effective; no wonder one costs over ten Silver Kall..." Then he seemed to realize something and looked at Warren Earl, asking curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something off?"
Warren Earl paused but quickly regained his composure. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I've never seen anyone absorb the effects of the Snow Sun Pill so quickly. It seems... you are quite extraordinary." He emphasized the last two words heavily.
Raising an eyebrow, Bu looked skeptically at Warren Earl, sensing something was amiss but unable to pinpoint what it was. He decided to keep this matter in mind and said, "My injuries are not serious anymore, but this trip to the imperial capital is fraught with danger."
Since you are representing the Aldra Family at the Peak Showdown, you will need to bear some of the associated risks. And as for my Servant…” At this point, Bu fell silent, calmly gazing at Warren Earl, waiting for a response.
Regardless of the circumstances, he would strive to obtain what he deserved. Although Locke had been with him for a short time, their deep bond had already been established. Their relationship was not merely one of master and servant; having arrived in this unfamiliar Fran Continent without any family, Bu had come to regard Locke as a trustworthy friend and partner.
Observing the young man standing before him, Warren Earl furrowed his brow slightly, then slowly relaxed it after a moment. He spoke in a measured tone: “I know what you want, which is why I stayed to discuss this with you. Now that your injuries are no longer an issue, you should return to the guest house for now. Soon, someone will bring over what you need. As for your Servant, you will receive an answer shortly.”
“Alright, I hope he returns safely. Of course, I also hope that the items bestowed by Earl Warren Edra are of better quality than this set I’m wearing,” Bu said, shaking his head and tugging at the red robe that had several torn openings, a teasing glint in his eyes.
“Hmph.” Warren Earl's gaze turned cold; he was evidently irritated by Bu's mockery. His tone was icy as he replied, “I also hope you can complete the tasks I assigned to you; otherwise, you should know what will happen next.” With those final words, Warren Earl shot a glance at Wendy before sweeping away his sleeves and leaving as if he wished to linger not a moment longer.
Seeing her father gradually walk away, Wendy stood in place, feeling quite conflicted about whether to follow him or stay and talk with Bu a little longer. For a moment, she was torn, her brows furrowing tightly as she nearly twisted her dress into knots with her hands.
“Wendy, you should go back and rest early,” Bu said gently with a warm smile.
“Ah, well then, Brent…” Wendy's sea-blue eyes widened in surprise as she stumbled over her words.
Noticing the girl’s flustered expression, an idea suddenly struck Bu's mind. Without thinking much about it, he blurted out impulsively: “Wendy, if I were to ask you to leave the Aldra Family and come with me, would you be willing?”
His clear and urgent words echoed in the night breeze, causing the originally quiet atmosphere to feel suddenly charged.
As soon as he spoke, Bu was taken aback by his own boldness. However, having said it, there was no taking it back. He could only watch Wendy nervously and anxiously await her response.
“Would I?” Wendy seemed momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Bu as if still processing the impact of his words.
As time passed slowly by, the confusion in her eyes deepened. She thought of her family, her parents, that annoying Second Brother Bill… and finally, she thought of Brent, whom she loved dearly.
A withered yellow leaf floated in the wind at that moment, landing before the girl, swirling around her skirt as it gently descended to the ground, returning to silence.
At this moment, the girl's slender figure seemed to overlap with the fallen leaf, their fates intertwined.
This leaf had left the treetop, swaying in the wind, rootless and drifting, ultimately returning to the earth. It seemed that this would also become the path for the girl in the future.
Leaving behind the family she had known for over a decade, she wandered with her beloved, unsure of when or where they would settle. She did not know if, when looking back, she would still be able to see that great tree etched deep in her memory.
The wind grew louder, howling continuously; this winter wind brought an unyielding chill, swirling up the fallen leaves and sending them flying far away. In this cold breeze, the two stood facing each other, their hair dancing in the wind, thoughts surging like tides.
"Let's go; I'll take you home. I was just asking casually; don't be too troubled," Bu stepped forward with a smile, smoothing down the girl's disheveled blue hair and speaking gently.
In that moment when he saw the girl's confusion, a sudden sense of melancholy and loss filled Bu Xin. It felt as if his heart was filled with the winter's cold wind, dispersing the previous fervor and leaving it icy.
"Perhaps it's just not the right time for this," he reflected while gazing at the fragile girl before him.
After all, he was still too weak, despite having broken through to Intermediate strength. In this vast Fran Continent, how could he rest easy? Even a single Aldra Family was beyond his ability to resist.
"Brent... please give me some more time," Wendy said as she lifted her head, her big eyes looking earnestly at Bu. Her delicate appearance evoked sympathy.
Bu looked at the girl in surprise and then nodded with a smile. "Let's go; I'll take you home. It's windy outside."
"Okay." Wendy nodded slightly, shyly stepping forward to walk alongside Bu.
In a villa of the Aldra Family, the room was brightly lit, with magical lamps embedded in the ceiling and surrounding walls emitting a soft and bright white light.
A young man sat cross-legged on the intricately carved wooden bed, surrounded by faint waves of energy. This person was Bu, who had returned to the villa after escorting Wendy back to her residence.
An hour had passed since the battle, and it was now late at night. Bu's injuries had nearly healed after taking the Snow Sun Pill and recovering during this time.
After the recent battle, the joy of breaking through to Intermediate had faded, replaced by a more urgent desire to become stronger. Thus, upon returning to the villa, Bu sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and focused on cultivating the energy within him.
According to the Library System's book "Detailed Explanation of the Warrior Cultivation System," low-level warriors focus on self-cultivation, Mid-Level Warriors concentrate on refining their energy, and High-Level Warriors emphasize spiritual cultivation.
Self-cultivation refers to tempering the body and enhancing various physical qualities; refining energy involves cultivating internal energy, extracting its essence while discarding impurities. Through continuous hard work, one can enhance the purity of their energy, making the Energy Seed more solid and powerful. Spiritual cultivation is a privilege of High-Level Warriors; when a warrior breaks through to High-Level, a Sea of Consciousness is formed in their forehead. High-Level Warriors expand their Sea of Consciousness through spiritual cultivation.
This so-called spiritual awareness is not merely Mental Power but a more refined and profound special force.
Mental Power is an innate ability that everyone possesses and is a power that mages pursue. However, spiritual awareness is a unique force that only High-Level Warriors can generate from within themselves. It is derived from energy and Mental Power but transcends both to form its own system, making it even more powerful.
It is said that warriors who have cultivated their Sea of Consciousness to an extremely high level can kill opponents of the same rank with just a glance. The strength of the Sea of Consciousness is also a key factor in breaking through to higher levels.
