I am looking forward to training you, Azriel Ruinous.

"I will choose both Mana and Body Cultivation," Azriel replied with his eyes shining in determination.

Luminia frowned and she replied, "I told you before, many geniuses have tried to pursue that but every single one of them failed and wasted their whole life. Choosing both ways may sound very impressive, however, no one had succeeded in it. I suggest you choose between one of them, or else you might also waste your time and potential."

"Teacher, no one else has done it before, but do you think anyone can bring back the Vampires to what they were before? If I want to change the Vampire's future, I need to become strong. Stronger than anyone else, I have to take this risk." The determination in his eyes did not fade, rather, it increased even more.

Seeing that determination, even Luminia was taken aback before she realized.

He was right, although no one has succeeded in this path before; can any normal person bring back the Vampire Era?

If it was that simple, then wouldn't she have done it already?

The person who can bring back the Vampires to their prime has to be special. He has to be stronger than any Vampire the world has ever seen.

And when she glanced at Azriel, a voice inside her heart told her that he might be that special person.

"Are you willing to gamble your life on it?" Luminia questioned one last time.

"I am."

A smile appeared on Luminia's face before a blood-red coloured book with golden coloured ancient symbols appeared in her hand. The respect and reverence filled her eyes when she carried this book.

"The Crimson Domination, this book is us Vampire's treasure. Back when we were still in power, only the Vampires with royal blood were allowed to cultivate this Body Cultivation technique.

This is not just a technique to improve your swordsmanship, your speed, or anything else.

It will teach you the very essence of fighting, the weapons, the speed, the posture, it contains everything, this technique can you into a perfect warrior."

The more Luminia spoke, the excited Azriel became. His eyes burned with passion when he glanced at the 'Crimson Domination'

However, Luminia wasn't done yet.

"Nevertheless, no matter how good it sounds, this is all secondary, what makes this technique special is something else."

"What is it?" Azriel questioned in hurry.

Seeing that she had managed to gain his attention, Luminia smiled before her eyes gleamed in excitement as she answered.

"The natural healing. This Body Cultivation technique improves the healing speed of the Vampire. This is also the reason why the Royal Vampires who had cultivated this technique were so strong. They were just too hard to kill. This is a perfect technique for every Vampire."

Azriel's excitement heightened even more, however, soon, a question appeared in his mind and he asked.

"Wait, if this technique can only be cultivated by the Royalty, why do you have this? Are you a Royalty as well?"

A melancholic smile appeared on Luminia's face as she answered,

"No, I do not belong to the Royal Family, King Dardon gave it to me a day prior to the Party…"

Azriel did not say anything after that. He knew that his teacher was sad.

Luminia soon returned to normal as well and a smile appeared on her face as she gave the 'Crimson Domination' to Azriel and warned.

"This is yours now. However, do remember, that the better the technique, the tougher it is. This is the Vampire race's best technique, so it is exceedingly demanding. Do not be disheartened when you don't achieve results, be patient."

"Teacher, how far have you cultivated this technique?"

"I do not cultivate this technique."

"Hmm? Why not?"

"As I said, I am not a part of the Royal Family, and when King Dardon gave it to me, I was already practising another technique, if I cultivated it, my foundation would have weakened."

Azriel nodded deeply.

"But don't worry, if you face any troubles, you can ask me, I am sure I can help you to some extent"

"Yes, teacher. Oh right, this is the Body Cultivation technique, what about Mana cultivation?"

A smile appeared on Luminia's face and another book with the same colour and design appeared in her hand.

"Here, this is Blood Mana Unification, the best Mana Cultivation technique we Vampires had. Although it was not restricted to the Royal Family alone, you still need to have high achievements if you want to cultivate it.

If I was not a body cultivator, I would have chosen this technique without a second thought. You will cultivate this. "

"I understand" Azriel nodded.

"Alright, now let's set your training schedule."

"Yes."

"I will not tell you what you will do from now on. You have to live your life your way. However, I want you to spar with me every day for 2 hours. You can tell me the time after thinking about it today.

Not only that, but you have to study for 4 hours every day. As for the rest of the 18 hours, it all depends on you."

"Hmm? Study? Why would I study? What is there to study?"

"Yes, knowledge is very important, Azriel. You have to read about Vampire history, human history, and the history of every single race. Learn about the cultivation techniques, cultivation levels, Skills, and Abilities.

Learn about every race's strength, their weakness, their peculiar abilities, learn about politics, learn about the great kings, and learn about their life.

Learn about the world.

Widen your horizons, Azriel, only then will you realize how high your goal is and how hard should you work for it."

"As you say, teacher" Azriel nodded with his eyes shining in determination.

A charming smile appeared on Luminia's face as she replied.

"Yes, I am looking forward to training you, Azriel Ruinous."

From this day forth, Azriel's tortu- training started.
