Chapter 64 - 64 Emotions, Family
Three days later.
Since returning from the military headquarters in the capital, Su Lian had been staying in the manor.
Ursa had told him that there were actually people sent by the military headquarters to secretly monitor the area around the manor. So, he could only pretend to be making new weapons at home. As a result, during the following period of time, he wouldn't be able to leave the manor freely to do other t
hings.
However, this wasn't a big deal. He could just learn the Blood Battle Techniques under Philomena's guidance.
Whenever night fell, Su Lian and Nalin would practice the Blood Battle Techniques together. Once there were any problems or unexpected situations, Philomena would step in immediately.
And in the latter part of the practice, Nalin would teach Su Lian blood magic.
It had to be said that blood magic was indeed very powerful, but it was also extremely dangerous. Pure blood magic, needless to say, was completely guided by one's own blood and could generate powerful "blood attribute" magic attacks, defenses, or buffing effects.
For example, the Blood Scythe Magic that Nalin liked to use was actually a unique "weapon" magic.
It was similar to magic like the Solidified Ice Sword, Thunder Spear, and Fire Bow. The characteristic of this kind of magic was that it didn't have a fixed level and would become stronger along with the user's ability.
If a Law God-level being cast this kind of weapon magic, even if it was a seventh-level magic cast instantaneously without incantation, the power of the solidified weapon could definitely destroy most forged weapons!
However, the blood scythe weapon solidified by blood magic required a certain amount of one's own blood as a guide. Although it could be recovered after use, once the blood scythe was destroyed, the blood would also be "tainted" and unable to be recovered.
If someone wasn't a member of the vampire clan, had very weak control over their own blood, or had no talent or compatibility at all with the "blood" attribute, there was a high possibility that when using this kind of pure blood magic, they would directly exhaust their own blood and die!
Similarly, even the blood curse magic, which was a bit less dangerous and was what the world considered the most commonly used elemental magic by vampires, still required the use of one's own blood, just like what Teacher Jay had demonstrated before.
...
In the Nightfall Manor.
"Ugh." Su Lian looked a bit uncomfortable.
"Are buffing blood magic and Blood Battle Techniques in conflict? They can't be easily stacked like other buffing combat techniques and magic," Su Lian asked.
At this moment, the blood in his body was churning, and it felt as uncomfortable as if it was boiling.
"Now you have a deep impression of it, right? Don't try this again in the future," Philomena said with a smile instead.
She hadn't stopped him when he proposed doing this, because she wanted him to experience the pain so that he could have a deep impression and ensure that he wouldn't misuse it in the future.
"It seems that it's because both of them need to use blood. When both fighting spirit and magic power are using blood, it will cause the blood in the body to become chaotic. Even if they are used separately, the two kinds of enhancements both guided by blood will still conflict with each other," Nal
in speculated.
"No wonder vampires and werewolves don't like to be together. The abilities of those within the vampire clan actually conflict with each other," Su Lian seemed to understand.
This explained why, even in this world, vampires and werewolves, both of the vampire clan, still weren't very harmonious.
"However, you really learn magic quickly. You've actually mastered all the intermediate-level blood magic I taught you, and you can even cast weapon magic without incantation at a high level. You can also cast it at the fifth level with a normal incantation," Nalin said in surprise.
Su Lian had started learning blood magic when Philomena came back, but it had only been a little over a month by now.
In such a short period of time, he had mastered the more than ten intermediate-level magics and over thirty low-level magics taught by Nalin. Even Nalin had to admit the terrifying talent Su Lian had in this regard.
Could it be that he was actually a magic genius?
But he was only a fifth-level Magus now. For a peerless genius of the same age, they should already be a sixth-level Grand Magus.
"The attribute magic cast by blood curses is just a change in the casting conditions. In essence, it's still the control of elemental attributes and magic power. I'm proficient in all the commonly used low-level magics of all elements, so it's not difficult to learn, right?" Su Lian didn't think the
re was anything strange about it.
"That's true," Nalin nodded slightly.
"Pure blood magic is really difficult. Among the fifth-level pure blood magic, I've only learned this weapon magic. The solidified long sword can only be maintained for at most five minutes," Su Lian was actually a bit disappointed.
"You've only been learning for a little over a month. What more do you want?" Nalin rolled her eyes unhappily.
"Let's all take a break. You two have just awakened not long ago. Frequent use of blood power for practice isn't good for your bodies," Philomena said at this time.
Su Lian and Nalin nodded and took a temporary rest on the spot.
Seeing this, Philomena smiled with satisfaction.
Sensing Ursa's appearance outside the manor's martial arts training ground, she walked over.
...
"How is it?" Ursa asked.
"Our grandson really has great talent. Not only was his werewolf blood awakening almost perfect, but even without using his werewolf true form, he has a good grasp and learning ability of the Blood Battle Techniques. Although it's just simple stances and the activation of fighting spirit for now, he
's only been formally learning for a few days," Philomena gave a very high evaluation.
"Is there a chance for him to be like you?" Ursa asked with a smile.
He was also very happy to hear such an evaluation.
"You know that to reach the War God level, it's not just about talent. But judging from his character, it seems to be just a matter of time. It depends on how high he ranks cultivation in his priorities," Philomena said seriously.
Was it just a matter of time for him to become a War God? This speculation made by Philomena, who was a War God-level werewolf, was almost certain.
"What about Nalin?" Ursa asked again.
"She has average talent in Blood Battle Techniques, but it won't be a problem for her to cultivate to the level of a War King (seventh level). Becoming a Saint Warrior will be a bit difficult, especially since she's practicing both magic and martial arts. As for reaching the level of a War God in th
is situation, she can only try to achieve it based on her long lifespan. However, her magic talent is truly strong. She may break through to the level of a Grand Magus in a few days," Philomena gave a very straightforward evaluation.
"That's not bad either. If her character can stand the test in the future, I wouldn't mind her becoming my granddaughter-in-law," Ursa was still quite satisfied with Nalin.
"It's really hard to say about this. Although they seem to be able to talk to each other better than with other people of the same age, it's basically just at the level of friends. Even in little Su Lian's eyes, his relationship with little Nalin is somewhere between using her and being friends with
her," Philomena actually knew this.
Even though she was seemingly a fan of the couple and was very happy to have Nalin as her granddaughter-in-law, she actually had no idea if it would come true.
"This is little Su Lian. That's why I hope he can study at the academy and learn more about emotional communication between people. Since he was a child, he really hasn't made a single friend. It seems that in his eyes, all his peers are very childish."
"Regarding Nalin's matter, even if she wasn't a vampire of the vampire clan, I would still be very surprised."
"Because she is the only peer that little Su Lian is willing to truly communicate with so far, even though strictly speaking, they aren't exactly of the same age."
Ursa was actually a bit helpless when it came to Su Lian.
...
Su Lian in his previous life was actually almost the same.
Maybe it was okay when he was a child. His parents had created a wonderful family atmosphere at that time. But when the conflicts flared up, his personality changed accordingly.
At school, he was a child from a wealthy family and a withdrawn study maniac. He would only do the things he liked and hardly had the concept of friends.
After entering university, he fully immersed himself in all kinds of strange mechanical modifications and was completely unwilling to take the initiative to communicate with others. Even if he did communicate, it must have been for the needs of life or with the purpose of using others.
For example, if he wanted a firearm, he would make friends with relevant people in a utilitarian way. After achieving his goal, he would decide whether to continue maintaining the relationship based on whether they still had any use value.
His family and the personality he developed because of it destined him to become the strange guy in his previous life who tinkered with machinery alone and finally accidentally blew himself up.
Now.

In this life with a wonderful family, he really cherished his family members, but he still maintained an indifferent attitude towards others.
...
"So, that's why you still haven't told him about his mother, as well as his grandparents, until now?" Philomena said with an indifferent expression.
"We'll consider it when he truly realizes the meaning of emotions," Ursa sighed slightly.
"What if he asks about it?" Philomena asked.
"He won't ask, because he's very smart," Ursa said.
"Is that so?" Philomena looked at Su Lian, who was sitting opposite Nalin and meditating under the night sky.
He was smart, knew his limits, understood the most basic morals and manners, and had almost no flaws.
But...
"From the contact with him in the past month, you should have realized it too."
"Whether it's towards you and me, or towards Polly and Ivy, or even towards Selena, who just showed up not long ago, Su Lian treats us all as equal family members."
"He has the politeness, respect, and care that should exist among family members, and he has everything that the most perfect 'family member' should have."
"But he..."
"He's just maintaining all of this."
Ursa's tone was filled with a sigh and a bit of helplessness.
Because, in his heart, for this grandson of his, who could be said to be more excellent and worthy of pride than anyone else.
He had always felt a certain indescribable sense of strangeness.
"I can really feel it. Whether I'm a werewolf, a War God-level powerhouse, or even an ordinary civilian in a rural village, our little Su Lian will have all the attitudes that he should have towards his 'grandma'."
"It's a feeling that because I'm his family member, he has to act that way."
"Rather than him naturally doing it because we are family."
Philomena had actually felt this too.
...
To Su Lian, they were family members that he cherished.
But, they were only family members that he should cherish.
The words "naturally" and "should" were separate.
...
"However, it doesn't matter." Philomena suddenly smiled, "You're just having a happy worry. Think about those spoiled brats who only talk back to their elders and even cause trouble. Our little Su Lian is much more excellent than them."
"That's true," Ursa also smiled.
"Instead, I think we should think more carefully about Nalin's matter. After all, that August... is actually very troublesome," Philomena's expression became a bit more solemn as she said this.
