Chen Mo's rate of improvement was astonishing.
Alexander Corvinus had personally experienced the tremendous changes that had occurred in Chen Mo's swordsmanship during the battle just now. In such a short period of time, Chen Mo's improvement in swordsmanship was actually greater than what he had accumulated over the past few hundred years!
Slowly withdrawing the longsword from Alexander Corvinus's neck, Chen Mo was very satisfied with his gains from this battle. It could be said that this was the greatest improvement in his combat skills so far.
It had to be said that Alexander Corvinus had not lived in vain for the past few hundred years. In order to deal with the destruction caused by his son, William, he had been fighting the werewolves for the past few hundred years. The number of werewolves who had died under his sword was uncountable.
In the continuous battle with the powerful werewolves, Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship had continuously improved. His moves had been perfected day by day over a long period of time, becoming more and more powerful.
After experiencing the tempering of hundreds of years, his swordsmanship had long been incomparably powerful. His moves were simple and direct, fierce and ruthless. Often, he could end a werewolf's life with a single blow.
It was different from the Holy Cross Swordsmanship that had been gradually formed in the battles between ordinary human warriors.
This kind of human Knight's swordsmanship was bold and powerful, and its moves were swift and violent. But whether it was the creator, the user, or the enemies targeted by the swordsmanship, they were all ordinary human Knights and soldiers.
Although Chen Mo had improved it and it was much stronger than before, it still could not compare to the swordsmanship that Alexander Corvinus had created in the battle with the powerful werewolves.
Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship was created and used by an expert who surpassed human strength. Its target was the powerful werewolves who were far more powerful than ordinary human soldiers. This kind of swordsmanship was far more suitable for Chen Mo than the Holy Cross Swordsmanship, and it could better display his full strength.
So in the battle with Alexander Corvinus, Chen Mo had continuously absorbed and learned his swordsmanship, and at the same time, he had verified and merged it with his own original combat skills.
After all, the various techniques and swordsmanship that he had originally learned had their merits. Chen Mo would not completely abandon them and directly learn Alexander Corvinus's swordsmanship. That would be neglecting the essentials and focusing on trifles.
Truly powerful combat skills were constantly learned, improved, merged, and tempered in battle. After all, the strength of one person was limited. The swordsmanship, fist techniques, and other techniques created could not be perfect and flawless.
It was impossible to cover all techniques, and there would always be loopholes and inadequacies. Only by gathering the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, learning from their strengths to make up for their weaknesses, and adjusting and evolving according to their actual situation could they finally create the strongest swordsmanship that was truly suitable for them!
And now, Chen Mo felt that he was one big step closer to this goal.
...
After the competition, Chen Mo did not treat Alexander Corvinus harshly. He did not lock him up in the dungeon, but instead arranged for him to stay in the room next to his, treating him like a distinguished guest.
Compared to locking him up in the dungeon, it was actually safer to have him stay by Chen Mo's side. With his powerful strength, ordinary chains could not restrain him, and the dozens of Knight guards outside the dungeon were no match for him. The only one who could suppress him was Chen Mo.
However, Chen Mo had spent many years to find him, and it was not just to invite him to the castle as a guest. Alexander Corvinus himself was well aware of this. Chen Mo treated him with courtesy, and he was very cooperative, obediently allowing Chen Mo to draw several test tubes of blood from his body.
Afterward, Chen Mo called Andrew to the study and began the preliminary experiment on him.
Andrew did not hesitate in the slightest in response to Chen Mo's instructions.
After drinking a drop of Perfect Blood, Andrew felt that something had changed in his body, but he could not put his finger on it.
After telling Chen Mo his feelings, Chen Mo carefully observed his skin. It did not seem as pale as before. After some consideration, Chen Mo brought him to the curtains.
Since everyone in the castle except for Chen Mo was a vampire, most of the windows in the castle were sealed with thick wooden planks to prevent them from being harmed by the sunlight. The castle was lit with candles and oil lamps day and night for illumination.
In the entire castle, only the room that Chen Mo often visited was not sealed with wooden planks. Instead, it was equipped with thick curtains that could completely block out the sunlight. When there were no other vampires around, Chen Mo could enjoy the brightness and warmth of the sunlight alone.
After bringing Andrew to the curtains, Chen Mo gently pulled them open a little. A ray of golden sunlight shone in through the gap, adding a trace of light and warmth to the originally dark and cold study.
"Reach your hand into the sunlight."
Andrew did not hesitate in the slightest in response to Chen Mo's order. Although he knew that the sunlight would burn his hand and bring him great pain, he would not disobey Chen Mo's orders.
Andrew took two steps forward, raised his right hand, and slowly reached into the ray of golden sunlight.
When the sunlight shone on his hand, Andrew, who had been prepared to endure the immense pain of being burned by the sunlight, was surprised to find that there was no pain in his hand at all. On the contrary, a long-lost warmth came from where the sunlight shone. He had not experienced this ordinary feeling for many years.
"My Lord! This? … "
Andrew kept moving his hand in the sunlight and found that there was really nothing wrong with it. He could not help but look at Chen Mo in surprise.
"Alexander Corvinus's blood can rid you of your fear of sunlight."
Chen Mo did not conceal the existence of Andrew's Perfect Blood.
Chen Mo was very satisfied with this result. Only one drop of Perfect Blood was needed to make vampires immune to sunlight.
From then on, they would no longer have to hide under heavy, cold full-body armor all day long. They could live a normal life under the sun like ordinary people. Little Selena would no longer be confined to the castle all day long. She could run and play outside as she pleased. During this period of time, the lively and active Selena was almost bored to death.
Ever since she had been turned into a vampire, no one had allowed her to go out. She had to go back to the workshop through a secret passage that connected the castle and the workshop to the cave. Only at night could she run to the square outside the castle and play alone under the moon for a while.
It had been a long time since she had seen the blue sky, white clouds, green grass, green leaves, and the dazzling and warm sun that hung high in the sky.
She wanted to bathe in the warm sunlight and run and play with her friends in the grass and flowers. She wanted to roll on the grass, wade in the river, and rest under the trees.
Andrew and the other Knight, who often played with little Selena, knew very well how much she longed for the outside world.
"Little Selena will definitely be very happy," Andrew said with a smile.
After discovering that they were not afraid of sunlight, the first thing he thought of was little Selena, who always wanted to run out of the castle.
He didn't care that much about whether or not he could see sunlight. He had lived an ordinary life under the sun for decades. Now that he had become a Knight and possessed great power, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with wearing his precious armor every day.
However, it was always good to have one less fatal weakness.
Who would want to hide in the dark all day long when they could move freely under the sun?
"Amelia will also be very happy!"
Chen Mo looked at Andrew and said playfully.
Chen Mo's words made the usually old-fashioned and serious Andrew suddenly feel embarrassed. He scratched his head and laughed foolishly.
But it was true that they would no longer need to be separated by two sets of heavy armor when they were outside during the day. They could look at each other's faces directly, hold each other's hands, and walk together under the sun. Amelia would indeed be very happy.
He was also very happy now, but why hadn't he thought of this earlier? He couldn't let Amelia know, or she would call him an idiot again.
Seeing the deep love for Amelia overflowing from Andrew's eyes, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. He had been busy with the war these past few years, and their marriage had been delayed. Now, it was time to give them a wedding.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked at the door of the study, a trace of a smile on his lips.
"Amelia!"
Chen Mo's sudden low shout startled Andrew, who hurriedly turned his head to look at the tightly shut door of the study.
Panicked footsteps sounded from outside the door, and then the door of the study was gently pushed open. Amelia walked in with her head lowered.
"My Lord …"
It turned out that when Chen Mo called Andrew to the study to conduct an experiment, Amelia had heard it. She was worried and quietly followed.
Due to the importance of the matter, Chen Mo didn't have anyone stand guard outside. Instead, he used his own perception to monitor the surroundings. This was more reliable than anyone else's guard.
However, although Chen Mo didn't arrange for anyone to stand guard outside the study, Amelia also didn't approach the study out of worry for Andrew. Instead, she waited anxiously at the side of the corridor.
Chen Mo was very pleased with this.
No matter the reason, eavesdropping on his conversation was absolutely forbidden. Amelia had done well in this regard.
Andrew glanced at the uneasy Amelia. He hadn't thought that she would secretly hide outside. Just as he was worried that Chen Mo would punish her, he heard Chen Mo order softly.
"Go get a cup of blood."
"Yes!"
The apprehensive Amelia didn't think too much about it as she hurriedly accepted the order and left. Andrew looked at Chen Mo with some confusion, not understanding what Chen Mo meant.
Because vampires couldn't consume ordinary food and could only rely on blood to survive, Chen Mo had specially set up a farm and raised large amounts of livestock to provide blood for the vampire Knight.
