Soon.

Under the arrangement of the little princess, he met the "teacher."

It was a somewhat thin-looking middle-aged man.

He had meticulously combed hair, mixed with a few gray strands.

His face was weathered, but his clothes were clean and neat.

Those who didn't know him would think he was a butler from a top noble family.

The princess told him that this person was called Liszt.

He said with a somewhat insincere smile:

"You must be the disciple recommended by Her Highness the Princess."

Chloe nodded.

He wouldn't rashly think that he was naturally the strongest in the field.

In fact, after their initial attempt, both found the other's situation to be unusual.

Chloe lowered his head, looking at the bloodstains on his hands, and the expression in his eyes turned odd towards the "butler":

"Who are you?"

The blood wasn't his.

It was the other person's.

Of course, this wasn't because the opponent was weak.

Quite the opposite.

The opponent's close combat ability was very sharp.

Sharp to an extent unfitting for someone of his physique.

Brief comment: Who's ever seen a brittle chicken engage in close combat?

Answer: Now you've seen one.

Because...

"Are you not human?"

Chloe wiped the blood off his fist.

The blood wasn't his.

It belonged to the special martial monk invited by the princess.

Before the fight, he hadn't noticed the problem.

But the moment the fight began, he realized something was wrong.

Because the power of the Holy Bone had been activated.

In the instant their fists collided, the power spreading from the Holy Bone covered his fist.

With one punch, the skin on the opponent's palm was instantly evaporated.

However, sensing something was wrong, the opponent quickly retracted his hand to avoid being directly pierced by his punch.

Of course.

The power of the Divine Bone is very strong.

But the aura this person leaked just now was undoubtedly of demigod class.

Being directly pierced could only mean one thing...

"Chaotic evil..."

Chloe's gaze on the opponent became sharp.

To be so restrained by the Divine Bone, there was only one possibility.

The opponent belonged to the chaotic evil faction, or had a pure chaotic evil bloodline.

As expected, on the opponent's wound, blood-red light gathered, and soon, the wound on his palm healed completely.

Chloe looked at the continuously gathering blood beside him and said in a low voice:

"Blood Race."

He first heard of the Blood Race because of the Red Moon Maiden.

It was rumored that the Red Moon Maiden was one of the origins of the Blood Race's power.

Of course.

This rumor was later denied by Heisha.

According to Heisha,

The origin of the Blood Race had always been the Crimson Dominator.

It was just that later a group of the Blood Race entered the Stars Continent, living through generations as "Violator Transcenders" in the Stars.

Of course.

There are many mysteries among them.

For instance, Violator Transcenders are not allowed to use power, so why can Liszt now use the Blood Pool's power unique to the Blood Race?

Moreover, in this era, the Blood Race should still be dormant.

So why is there now a demigod class Blood Race joining the Ensar Empire?

But no matter what, the Blood Race is too dangerous.

He silently prepared to burn his vibrant talent.

Unexpectedly, Liszt waved his hand and said:

"Alright, don't look at me with such wary eyes, I'm beginning to understand why Her Highness the Princess wanted me to teach you."

Chloe squinted at him.

Seeing that he indeed wasn't making a move, he finally frowned and said:

"I will report this to the higher-ups."

Liszt smiled indifferently.

It was only then that Chloe somewhat believed that the Ensar royal family was already aware of this guy's situation.

"I remember the Blood Race has shown no signs of activity for many years, right?"

"Indeed, to be precise, we can't participate in battles anymore, after all, because of what happened back then, we received punishment."

"..."

Chloe hesitated for a moment and curiously asked:

"Logically speaking, you should be subject to the world's restrictions, once you make a move, you should face total annihilation."

"Ah, you're talking about that." Liszt shook his head with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, indeed, we would die, because entering the Stars directly without being ferried by the Underground City is pretty much seeking death."

"Then you..."

"Only if we are indeed related to the Blood Race of old."

Liszt casually mentioned a piece of hidden truth.

After the fall of the Crimson Dominator, did some Blood Race enter the Stars Continent?

Yes, it's true.

Did they face restrictions?

Indeed, they were restricted.

But does the Blood Race still exist in this world?

If viewed narrowly, the Blood Race of the Stars has already perished.

"Perished?" Chloe rubbed his brow and said, "With the Blood Race perished, what's your situation standing here?"

"After the Blood Race died, their extraordinary power gathered into a blood pool, and the first native beings of the Stars Continent that stepped into the pool absorbed the Blood Race's power, evolving into the Blood Race we know today."

Liszt spread his hands and said:

"Although our actions are still heavily restricted, at least we don't have to die just by taking action."

Chloe clicked his tongue in wonder.

No wonder he always felt that the Blood Race on the Stars Continent was a bit strange.

Logically speaking, while the old ones are still alive, the Blood Race shouldn't be so easy to change their allegiance.

But if the old ones are dead, and those using the Blood Race's name are a bunch of 'filial sons' treating the Blood Race's foundation as Extraordinary Traits, that's a different play altogether.

"Not many know about this, of course, for various considerations, the Blood Race currently doesn't want to appear grandly in front of everyone."

Liszt still wore a smile that was hard to grasp too much of.

...

Upon first meeting, the impression between both parties was not particularly friendly.

But after consulting the princess and superiors, he learned what the other party said was true.

That Blood Race member turned out to be one of the royal guard forces.

The next time they met, Chloe noticed that Liszt was wearing a unicorn pelt.

He still maintained a business smile, saying to Chloe:

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, your power, perhaps you should think of some way to restrict it; its damage to me is too high."

The unicorn pelt inherently possesses divine attributes, able to resist evil forces to a certain extent.

But it was Chloe's first time seeing a demon turn a unicorn pelt into gloves for fighting him.

"I feel you guys are not much better than demons, how did you think of such a crazy operation? Wouldn't it be easier to just have the princess replace you?"

Chloe looked at Liszt, who was teaching him martial monk techniques, and within a few hours, Liszt's face turned pale.

Of course.

This wasn't because Chloe hurt him, it was purely because Liszt was harshly countered by the unicorn pelt.

Why else would Chloe say Liszt is crazy?

Indeed.

The demigod-class divine unicorn's pelt can somewhat isolate Chloe's Holy Bone power.

After all, what directly impacts the Holy Bone Golden Body is the unicorn pelt, not Liszt's hand.

So, in some way, it can indeed block the spread of Holy Bone power.

But if it were so simple, wouldn't any random Iron Turtle Armor be enough to block the Holy Bone?

It's like asking those old masters who specialize in Tai Chi Boxing for fights; they always start by saying "borrowing power."

At that moment, you accidentally discover that the old master's legs are as strong as bullfrog legs, and you are immediately amazed, asking:

"Master, isn't it about borrowing power? What's up with those legs?"

The master will sincerely tell you:

"I'm afraid he won't borrow."

Precisely.

Why do you think the Holy Bone strengthens itself into iron bones?

Answer: To tear apart all the armors that obstruct its infusion of divine power.

Not to mention, divine power can be attached to weapons, and the defense capability of divine unicorn pelt isn't all that strong.

Liszt can use the divine unicorn pelt to block him, firstly because Chloe is only Sequence Eight now, and secondly, because he's not wielding a weapon.

"You're using the unicorn pelt now, so you won't get hurt by me, but the unicorn's power will also erode your body.

Why subject yourself to such self-harm just to teach me?"

Liszt paused, standing still, hesitating for a long while before saying:

"You actually care about these things?"

"No, buddy, when you spar with me, your gloves are spurting blood, I'm embarrassed to even hit you, it makes me feel like I'm bullying a disabled person."

Liszt smiled, took off the unicorn gloves, and snapped his fingers.

The scattered blood on the ground began to move again, flowing back into his palm.

As the blood merged into his body, his pale complexion gradually turned rosy.

Looking at Chloe, he said:

"Because what I can do right now is only this."

"Hmm?"

"Kid, you don't have many things to care about, or rather, the things you care about aren't in the Enser Empire."

"..."

"Looks like I guessed right; no wonder you always seem indifferent."

Chloe shook his head, not saying much.

He truly didn't care.

To him, the Enser Empire was nothing more than a future stage for Kai to resurrect, nothing special.

One might even say—

The entire Enser combined isn't as important to him as even a single hair from Marquis Meifei's Family.

Coming over was merely to accumulate breakthrough materials.

After all...

I'm just here to earn a buck; you can't possibly expect me to risk my life, can you?

"Actually, I can understand you." Liszt smiled and said, "After all, you're different from me."

What responded to him was Chloe's long silence.

Liszt patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't look at me like that; we've just had different experiences."

Liszt looked into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

He spoke softly:

"I grew up in Enser, drinking the waters of Enser's Three Rivers; my life is inseparable from the Dark Crow Guard. I don't like being called Blood Race; I am a person of Enser, a Dark Crow Soldier."

Chloe looked up at him and asked:

"You're... unable to participate in the Dark Crow Guard's actions anymore?"

"...Such acute perception."

"Let me guess, your power is very strong, and being recognized by the royal family means your background is not problematic.

But the Dark Crow Guard has been fighting unknown entities for years, and you can't go to the frontline, so there are pretty much only two possibilities."

"Such as."

"Such as that battlefield is related to your Blood Race? Or, for instance, entering that battlefield, you might lose control?"

"..."

Liszt didn't speak anymore.

But silence was also an answer.

Chloe suddenly looked up at him and asked:

"At your battlefield, are there stone monuments made of Demon-Banning Stone?"

Liszt was momentarily confused, but soon chuckled and said:

"There's still a grove of Demon-Banning Stone there, but whether there are monuments like you described, we don't know."
