Chapter 39

Sven picked up his sword and closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes, he immediately demonstrated a new fighting technique. Kence had the impression that Sven was both human and a serpent. He moved like an agile snake but it was also as if he was a human swordsman

He wasn't just a serpent like his Bloodline or a Human like he is. It was a combination of both that made a harmony. He slashed and thrusts his sword in an unpredictable way, it was both like a fluid like snake but also has a firmness of a human

Kence's focus was on everything that Sven does as he was amazed how he change his fighting style that easily. The sword cut the air while his body changed its location as if he was moving to his opponent's weakness

When Sven stopped, Kence was still amazed at that display. "Making yourself to be like your Bloodline will indeed boost your power but that is not the right way. If you do that then becoming a Blood Noble would be extremely hard. You need to balance being a human and having the Bloodline of other creature!"

Kence almost didn't hear other words that Sven said but only focused on the Blood Noble part. If he really become a Blood Noble even just the lowest kind of Noble would give him a chance to found his own Nobility Clan. If he gained the status of a Noble then other people would be wary of him and not just offend him easily. However, even just reaching the Blood Baron Rank will be as hard as scaling the heavens! There were extremely few commoners that became a Blood Noble as they don't have the same resources as the Nobility Clan

"D-do you think I can become a Blood Noble?" Kence asked in a soft voice, afraid that Sven would make fun of him. But Sven walked to him and flicked his forehead

"Aw!" Kence complained from the pain and pouted at Sven. "Even being a Royal Blood would be so much easier to you than other people much less the weak ranks of the Nobles!"

Kence looked at Sven incredulously. Even just reaching the Noble Blood Rank was so hard much less reaching the ranks beyond that! How can Sven say something like this? If he wants him to feel better then he should at least say something realistic!

"Don't dare doubt me, if I want to make you a Noble even if you have a trash talent, I can do that!" And Kence doesn't have just a trash talent he is a genius! Once he broke through and become a Blood Warrior, he can use the Mystical effects of his Ice Heart! Even if Sven didn't help him Kence would be a Noble with years of training. Not to mention that Sven as a former God is here to help him!

"But of course, to become a Noble you still need to work hard! From now on your training would increase in intensity and you can't complain!" If it was the normal Kence hearing that his training would become harder he would surely find a place to bury himself. But now, all he wants to do is to become stronger and stronger!

The traumatic thing he experienced made him greatly thirst for power. He won't abuse his future strength but he would make sure that no one will think of harming him ever again!

"I'll be in your care then!" Kence said with high fighting spirits making Sven to nod his head in satisfaction

"Okay! First things first you need to know that your Bloodline is you but you are also yourself! The Bloodline and yourself is the same entity but are also distinct from each other. You need to find balance from both to unleashed more power!"

Kence nodded his head digesting everything that Sven said. It didn't even enter his mind how Sven can explain things much clearer than even their teacher. "But that is the thing for the future. As of now your body is extremely weak and can't unleash the full power of your Bloodline. We need to improved your physique first!"

Kence was about to nod his head but he stopped. Cultivating is another think but making your body stronger is extremely hard just by doing it with hard work alone. It required a lot of precious resources that Kence doesn't have

"B-but I-I don't have money...."

Money! A single word but it has a huge deciding factor whether you will be a successful cultivator or not. With enough cultivation resources not to mention twice the result with half the effort you can have ten times the result with almost no effort!

That is the disparity between those who have the resources and those who doesn't have. "That's why you also need to become a success alchemist. An alchemist is equal to a treasure vault! If you are an Alchemy Master, wealth itself will come knocking at your doorstep!"

Kene pouted at that. Even with all of his handwork he can only make a few pills of the lowest level a day. It used up a lot of his soul power and soul power was harder to recover than body strength.

"I can only make few pills a day. It won't be enough and how long would it take me to be a master alchemist?" Kence sighed. Being poor is really a sin. He missed being a rich young master back on earth. There, with his parent's wealth he doesn't need to worry about money. But here, he is too poor! Even if he makes ten Rank 0 Healing pills a day that's only at most 30 copper coins or lower depending on the purity

A family can live a few days with that much money but it was only enough for buying food that doesn't have any taste at all. A food that's only used was for survival, no one like eating those kinds of foods!

"I have a way but I need you to ask Calter to help us" Sven said and it made Kence's eyes widened. As he was preoccupied of his own traumatic experience, he forgot that Calter was also in the party last night. He was left with the senior what if he...

Kence's face paled and didn't dare continue thinking. "W-what happened to Calter last night?! D-did he got home safely?!" Kence asked in agitation which made Sven to laugh mockingly at him

"Do you think the number 1 genius of a Marquees Clan would be as simple and stupid like you? Of course, he went home safely. I can even bet that the senior won't have a good ending!" As Sven lived for millions of years and met all sorts of people how can he not know what kind of person Calter is?

Also, it was Calter who informed him of Kence's situation yet he didn't decide to move as far as possible to Zairon. That means he has a plan on his mind!

Calter is kind to Kence but him being innocent and pure was only a show. He can become the number 1 genius without anyone daring to challenge his position. How can he not know the schemes of his own clan members? He would surely grow up to be a shrewd man

Frankly, not a lot of Noble Kids was deceived by the seniors. As a descendant from Noble Clans they would of course experience threats on their lives. There would be jealous clan members or enemies of their clans that will try to harm them. Poisoning is very common!

Kence was dissatisfied as Sven indirectly describe his friend like a kid full of schemes. For him, Calter is very pure and kind how can he be like that? He will never believe that!

"Hmph, my friend is not like you!" Kence said angrily which made Sven to shake his head. Even now, Kence was still far too naive and stupid that it hurts

"Whatever. Just tell your friend that I want him to sell pills without disclosing where it came from"

"Why do we need to trouble him like that? We can just sell it ourselves" Kence asked in confusion. There was a market inside the academy to buy pills and other cultivation essentials

They can even directly sell their pills to the academy why do they need to ask someone to do that for them?

"Don't ask too much question! Just tell him to talk to me" Kence didn't have a choice and can only agree. He just decided to treat Calter in a meal for the trouble

"Let's start training your body now. I warn you this will be very painful!" Sven said sternly

"I-I can take any pain!" Kence said while gritting his teeth. He still has low pain tolerance but if needs to get hurt them he can only bear it!

Sven waved his hand and green poisonous clouds covered Kence's body. The poison cloud immediately started damaging the kid's body. Injuring your body and healing it is one of the best ways to increase your physique's strength. As they didn't have much resources, they can only resort to this

"Painful! This is too painful!" Kence cried out in pain while cold sweats formed on his body. If he's not doing his best to remain conscious, he would surely faint now

"Bear with it!" Sven shouted. He already lowered the pain the poison will give to Kence as he knew the kid can't take too much pain. In reality, there are poison that can damage one's body but the poisoned won't feel anything. But Sven didn't used that kind of poison. Withstanding pain was one of the best ways to strengthen one's willpower

Kence's simply has too weak of willpower and he need to train that

"H-how can this be training?! This is too painful!" Kence complained as he can only barely take the pain. He wished it would end right away. He was already crying from the pain but it didn't do anything to help his situation

"N-no more! Mercy!" Kence plead while looking pitifully at Sven but that won't work. As Sven's subordinate, how can he not withstand this 'small amount' of pain? Sven experienced things even worse than this. He can't even considered what Kence felt as pain, at most it would be the same as someone pinching you

"S-sveeennn!!!!" Kence screamed loudly which irritated Sven's ears

"Shut up and bear with it!" Sven said while glaring at Kence angrily. Kence immediately cowered like a scared dog but still threw a pleading look to Sven

The painful fog covered Kence's body for a full five minutes before Sven retracted it. The kid pitifully sat on the ground without caring about whether he would get dirty or not. He took deep breaths and wiped away his sweat. The pain was too intense for him and when he tried to disperse it with his Bloodline Power the pain would intensify. He doesn't have a choice but to just bear the pain while crying

"Take this!" Sven threw a few pills on Kence's direction. Even though he wants to rest but Kence went to catch the pills hurriedly. He doesn't want to take a pill that landed on the ground. That would be disgusting

"They are healing pills. You may not have any outside injury but you are injured inside"

Kence looked fine outside as the poison only harmed his insides and didn't cause any external injuries. But internal ones are even more troublesome and will cause more pain. Even without the poison cloud, Kence was still feeling some pain inside his body. He didn't hesitate and swallowed the pills in hope that it will take the pain away

Thankfully, the pills are high levelled. A warm stream of current travelled to all parts of his body and quickly healed all of his injuries. The medicinal property inside the pills made him very comfortable as the pain vanish. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Sven as if he was wronged
