Chapter 316: Chapter 38: A New Research Field: Qi and Blood Witchcraft, Mo Ning’s Debut at the Arbitration Court, Mark of Corruption

After the Secret Technique was complete, Anya switched from Female Knight mode to chef mode and busied herself in the kitchen.

Mo Ning, having just undergone a deep Qi and Blood massage, didn’t feel like moving a single finger.

The post-release "Wise One" state left him in a rare state of mental emptiness.

’Yes, this was a legitimate massage. It was a technique the Noble Lady had only mastered yesterday, one that could also stimulate the growth of Qi and Blood.’

He had to admit, she was truly doing her utmost to help her teammate.

As Mo Ning lay there, a strange sensation suddenly came over him—it was as if wisps of a peculiar liquid were slowly flowing from his limbs toward a lake deep inside his body.

But the sensation lasted only a moment before a lazy, listless feeling once again took over his senses.

Then, a torrent of power surged from within him like water from an open floodgate, instantly dispelling his weakness.

Savoring this wondrous feeling, Mo Ning thought to himself, ’Anya’s family’s Gena Qi and Blood Massage Technique certainly is impressive.’

The "lake" he had sensed during that strange sensation led him to a theory. ’Could this be the embryonic form of a Black Iron Knight’s Qi and Blood Core?’

The sign of a Warrior advancing to a Black Iron Knight was their Qi and Blood Value reaching 100 points, at which time they would officially form a Qi and Blood Core.

By relying on the Qi and Blood Core, a Knight could project their Qi and Blood Power outward, allowing them to master powerful Combat Skills.

Mo Ning had carefully studied the Noble Lady’s body—it was truly a "masterpiece of creation" that one could hardly bear to take their hands off of, with every part being utterly captivating.

As an Apprentice with an inquisitive spirit, he found it hard to resist the urge to investigate.

During his nearly hands-on, measurement-like research, he had sensed the Qi and Blood Core inside the Noble Lady’s body on more than one occasion.

He would first place his finger between the two large apples, touching her smooth, satin-like skin. Then, he’d have Anya cooperate by vibrating her Qi and Blood Core, and with the aid of her Qi and Blood Power, he could perceive its existence.

It was a truly wondrous thing—not a physical entity, but an illusory object born from the fusion of spirit and Qi and Blood.

Whether they were Wizards or Apprentices, almost no one was interested in Qi and Blood Power.

Even the most powerful Golden Knight would have a hard time defeating a Third Level Apprentice in actual combat, yet the difficulty of becoming a Golden Knight was more than ten times greater.

For this reason, Qi and Blood Power was always considered a lower form of power.

This perception was as if carved in stone within the Apprentices’ minds—deep-seated and difficult to shatter.

But Mo Ning wasn’t so biased.

He had a faint inkling. ’Since the Qi and Blood Core contains a spiritual component, if it were deeply integrated with Witchcraft, it might be possible to create something completely new.’

He had always been keenly interested in such unexplored territories.

He felt that Anya, who had trained in Qi and Blood Power for over a decade and possessed a profound understanding of it, was the perfect candidate. She would surely be happy to participate in this project.

If the project yielded incredible results, it would also greatly enhance her combat strength and make their team even more powerful.

Mo Ning thought, ’Check Physique and Qi and Blood Values.’

Two lines of stats immediately appeared.

[Physical Strength: 0.41 points.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 2.62 points.]

Compared to yesterday, his Physical Strength had increased by another 0.01 points, and his Qi and Blood Value had grown by 0.07 points.

According to the experience the Noble Lady had shared, after igniting one’s Qi and Blood Power, their Physical Strength would go through a period of rapid growth, typically lasting from a week to ten days.

The ratio of Qi and Blood Value to Physique Value was typically around six to one; the higher the ratio, the stronger the Qi and Blood Power.

Mo Ning lay on his back, pondering. Sparks of insight flashed through his mind in the silence, gradually illuminating a feasible path for his research.

He whispered, "First, combine Qi and Blood Power with physically offensive Witchcraft, then gradually expand to elemental Witchcraft."

He smiled and gave the new Witchcraft a name. "Let’s just call it ’Qi and Blood Witchcraft’."

According to his plan, this would be a rather large-scale research project.

He was full of confidence in this endeavor. ’Since I managed to create the Magic Breath Technique, inventing Qi and Blood Witchcraft isn’t out of the question.’

If he truly produced significant results, he could easily add the descriptor "subversive" to the title of his thesis.

And if he created a truly groundbreaking Divination Theory, adding the even more prestigious "pioneering" wouldn’t be an issue either.

Before any of that, however, he needed to establish the theoretical framework, which would likely take about a week.

Not long after, Reina also came over from the Newcomer Dormitory Area and joined them in the kitchen, helping with the cooking.

The Dazed Girl keenly noticed that an indescribable change seemed to have come over Anya.

The Noble Lady glanced at her teammate and, smiling, revealed the truth. "I am now Mr. Mo Ning’s most loyal maid."

Her tone was light and cheerful, a clear sign that she was in a fantastic mood.

After a low-level Female Apprentice and a High-Level male Apprentice became intimate, the term "most loyal maid" was often used to describe their new relationship. It held no demeaning connotation, but simply stated objectively that their bond had entered a new phase.

For that matter, any male Apprentice who could make a Female Apprentice willingly call herself his "maid" was, without exception, one of the top students. Other Female Apprentices were more envious than anything else.

Reina’s eyes widened in an instant, and the stray lock of hair on her forehead twitched several times, a testament to her profound shock.

When she snapped out of it, she couldn’t help but whisper, "Miss Anya, you move way too fast!"
