Chapter 43: Spar
Chapter 43: Spar
Keith activated his warrior frame and lunged forward. Moving instantly, he appeared in front of Brad with his hands coated with blood-qi.
Swish! Swish!
Delivering swift blows towards Brad, who was shocked by his speed and power, he didn’t let him catch a break.
“I’ve severely underestimated your growth, kid. You are a true monster.” Brad blurted out as he blocked Keith’s attacks with a serious face.
“Haha… What did I say, old man?” Keith laughed as he kept attacking Brad from various angles.
Brad activated his warrior frame and engaged in full-on battle. They exchanged blows with unimaginable speed, with afterimages of their bodies seen all over the arena.
‘I haven’t used the full power of my warrior frame, but I was able to force him to this extent. No, that can’t be right. I felt his strength was higher when we fought previously. Surely, he’s holding back.’ Keith thought as he examined Brad’s movements.
‘This kid was able to force me to use 50% of my warrior frame’s strength. Where did he get this much power? And he isn’t even looking desperate yet, so it isn’t his full strength. What a monster.’ As he was blocking Keith’s blows, he was amazed by his power.
This type of growth was unprecedented, even among the top families of the continent. Brad was astonished at his growth. From the spar, he could more or less sense that Keith’s warrior frame was at a similar level as his own.
‘Viscount level?’
Brad couldn’t believe this, as Keith was just a baron, so leveling up the warrior frame was impossible for him. He didn’t have enough blood-qi to sustain a viscount-level warrior frame. This didn’t make any sense.
“How did you level up your warrior frame?” Brad asked bluntly, as he couldn’t hold back his curiosity.
“Ah, this… I was just practicing, and it just happened..” Keith didn’t know what to say, so he blurted out nonsense subconsciously.
“Do you take me for a fool? You don’t have enough blood-qi to fill the warrior frame for its upgrade. Your blood core is still at baron level, so it couldn’t be through normal means.”
He suddenly looked at Keith’s hand,
“It’s because of the mark, isn’t it? You were absorbing blood-qi through that.”
Keith knew that it was useless to feign ignorance, as Brad was aware of the mark.
“Yeah, I used this to absorb blood-qi from my share within the blood reserve. But I didn’t actively try to upgrade my warrior frame. It just happened by chance.” Keith mumbled.
“Don’t use that mark often. If anyone notices, it will be disastrous.” Brad warned him.
“No one knows except for you, so you can rest assured.”
Keith smiled and increased his warrior frame’s power.
Hong!
The attacks got fiercer and fiercer, and Brad was forced to increase his power.
“You were still holding back.”
“Haha… uncle you have to do better than this if you want to beat me.”
Changing positions Keith launched several blows with his hands. His hands were brimming with blood-qi and struck Brad’s left hand. The blow made Brad retreat a few steps.
Without giving him a chance, Keith jumped and used his legs to launch several kicks to throw him off balance.
Boom! Boom!
The arena floor started to crack as Keith’s overwhelming kicks landed on the floor. Brad moved sideways to quickly dodge the kicks.
“Why aren’t you using your full strength? Do you think you can beat me with this much power?” Keith turned around and taunted him.
“Heh… trust me, you don’t want to see my full power. If you want to get beat up that bad, I will fulfill your wish.”
A sudden surge of power swept the arena and the air turned heavy. Brad’s figure glowed red as the blood-qi covered his body. The aura extended outwards and the 2-meter area surrounding him was covered with a red force.
“Here I come,” Brad shot forward like a moving train.
Keith was flabbergasted by the sudden surge of power and staggered back. He quickly channeled all of his blood-qi and prepared for the collision.
