A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

【Blood Thorns】 is an application of 【Crimson Blood Manipulation】. It doesn't offer any other benefits; it's just flashy and looks a bit scary.

The truly effective predators were the several gigantic, blood-soaked beasts that were wreaking havoc. These monsters had peculiar appearances; each had three heads and six legs, and the heads resembled those of sheep. However, their mouths contained exceptionally sharp fangs, and their gaping jaws were large enough to bite a small car in two. Even if they were killed, they could immediately regenerate.

The destructive force generated by a foot landing can shatter hard granite and create a giant hole.

These things, which look remarkably like black goats, are about the height of a three- to five-story building. If they are made of blood, then... that's just too outrageous.

The people on the sidelines were numb; a single sentence simultaneously popped into their minds.

"That's the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique?"

Especially Yagami Masamichi, he's seen Kamo family sorcerers fight before, isn't it? Aren't the people of this family only able to use their own blood as a spell?

How can there be such an exaggerated amount of health?

That amount of blood would require killing at least several large animals weighing tens of tons to achieve, considering the total blood volume of a human body. It's simply impossible to reach that level. It would require at least several thousand, even tens of thousands of people.

However, Yagami Masamichi soon vaguely guessed why Isayama Kenmei would become the next head of the Kamo family.

The Kamo family's sorcerers cannot use their magical powers to conjure blood out of thin air, so they are in a very passive position.

Ke Jianshan Xianming acted like a nouveau riche throwing money around, completely disregarding the loss of blood.

It is likely that all this blood was created by Kenmei Isayama using his magical power. As long as his magical power does not run out, he can continuously produce blood.

That explains everything; why would the arrogant Kamo family rekindle their relationship?

They picked up this once abandoned, unwanted, and discarded seedling and made him the next head of their family.

If Masamichi Yagami's conjecture is true, then he may very well witness Kenmei Isayama become the most powerful head of the Kamo family, a family with a thousand-year history.

"Damn it, that guy Xianming."

Xia Youjie felt a large number of level-one curse spirits severing their connection with him at an extremely fast speed, and his heart ached as if it were bleeding.

This was a huge loss...

This sentence came to his mind.

The two effects of the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique alone had already dismantled about 80% of the defenses that Xia Youjie had built.

That's equivalent to Isayama Kenmei killing 35 level-one cursed spirits; that efficiency is simply outrageous.

Xia Youjie immediately summoned a cursed spirit to block Jian Shan Xianming's path.

Unexpectedly, when faced with a roadblock, Kenmei Isayama simply raised his fist, and then swung it down like a cannonball rather than a punch, directly smashing it into a level one cursed spirit that resembled a beetle and whose body was covered in steel armor, indicating that its defense was at its maximum.

"Sizzle"

The sturdy armor ridiculously emitted the sound of shattering glass. What was this? Using brute force, a cursed spirit that normally required several level-one sorcerers to handle was reduced to mincemeat in less than a second.

Moreover, its immense destructive power remained undiminished, causing the entire land beneath it to shatter into pieces, with layers of broken rock slabs being lifted up, leaving behind a bottomless crater.

The shockwave kicked up dust that shot tens of meters into the sky.

The tremors felt underfoot were no different from those of an earthquake.

Kenmei Isayama landed cleanly and decisively, without the slightest delay, the spiritual energy in his hands dissipating. He had just killed this incredibly defensive cursed spirit with his bare hands. He used spiritual energy that had a special effect on cursed spirits. His punch, coated with spiritual energy, pierced directly through the cursed spirit's body.

"That bastard."

In contrast, Xia Youjie's small eyes were now fully open, and his bangs, which had been blown about by the wind, had fallen back down. He swallowed, looking utterly shocked.

"How am I supposed to win?"

Even in this state, Kenmei Isayama felt an even greater sense of powerlessness than when facing Satoru Gojo.

Xia Youjie even had the idea that no matter how many cursed spirits he summoned, they would only end up as someone else's meal.

The Cursed Spirits race is utterly powerless against Kenmei Isayama.

Suddenly, Xia Youjie's pupils contracted, because Isayama Kenmei had disappeared from his sight. At this moment, the battle-hardened Xia Youjie felt a sudden sense of deadly crisis, which made his heart jump.

The sound of air being torn apart exploded directly behind Xia Youjie, and the powerful airflow made his bangs whistle loudly.

Overwhelmed by a sense of crisis, Xia Youjie didn't hesitate and directly used the [Spirit Manipulation Technique] to summon a giant dragon of the same pure white color at point-blank range.

It was a rainbow dragon. This ferocious white dragon opened its mouth wide, trying to swallow the person who suddenly appeared behind it.

Isayama Kenmei naturally wouldn't let himself be swallowed up. The Rainbow Dragon's mouth was green, and its teeth were irregular.

But at that moment, a warrior constructed entirely of blood appeared almost instantly. He raised a giant sword made entirely of blood and slashed at the rainbow dragon, charging forward despite the dragon's attacks.

To the audience, this scene looked like a reenactment of the myth of Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi, wielding the Tengu sword to cut down the white serpent.

Xia Youjie originally wanted to summon other special-grade spirits again, but a huge fist appeared in his vision and kept getting bigger.

"If you can't escape, you'll die."

Xia Youjie's eyes widened as he felt death gripping his throat. The time, measured in microseconds, felt incredibly long.

But the fist stopped just five centimeters away from Xia Youjie and then lightly tapped his forehead.

It is Kenmei Isayama

"Jay, let's call it a day."

"Ah."

Xia Youjie replied

After he walked away, Xia Youjie sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.

"A complete defeat..."

For a moment, Xia Youjie thought he was going to die; the fact that his back was completely soaked was the best proof of that.

In fact, Kenmei Isayama had always wanted to have some fun with Natsumi Yukichi, and today he finally got the chance.

Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique versus Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique

Kenmei Isayama walked to the lounge and saw many missed calls on his phone.

"Why are you calling me so many times?"

Actual amount paid: 4900

Chapter 169 You must be drenched in sweat, brother.

The entire mountain was covered with dozens of terrifying level-one cursed spirits. The various cursed spirits were so terrifying that just looking at them would inspire fear. They were roaring wildly with their mouths wide open.

The defensive lines that formed were like iron walls, protecting their mastermind behind the scenes. The rampant evil magic almost blotted out the entire sky, plunging it into darkness, like a ghostly realm.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time. There are more than ten days to prepare for the mission. Moreover, because of this mission to protect the "Star Essence," Xia Youjie, Isayama Kenmei, and Gojo Satoru will not be assigned any other missions.

That's why they had the opportunity to fight. Normally, given the life trajectories of Kenmei Isayama and Yukichi Natsumi, the chances of them sparring would have been quite low.

Sparring is the fastest way to understand a teammate's techniques. The close-quarters combat just now demonstrated that. After all, Kenmei Isayama has the legacy of the Imperial Martial Saint "Saint Gilles," and he has made significant progress in his control of power. He can really hit exactly where he wants.

Sorcerers' physical skills are never weak; even Kenmei Isayama felt they were more like "beating sorcerers" than "sorcerers."

Techniques are only used at crucial moments, such as when a victory or defeat is decided, while physical techniques are used more often in combat.

However, Xia Youjie, who had only lived for eighteen years, could never be a match for Isayama Kenmei, who stood on the shoulders of the "Holy Blood Angel" Saint Gilles.

Even the moth was itching to try, but the old man was too quick and couldn't last a minute. Actually, ten seconds would have been enough, but Isayama Kenmei gave him a little face for that one minute.

Now it's a contest of spells.

There are also a few audience members who can watch the performances of Gojo Satoru, Yagami Masamichi, Shoko, Nanami Kento, and Haibara Yu.

They were all acquaintances of Kenmei Isayama.

Ange and Mingming discovered a problem during their last mission. It was suspected that the cursed spirit had used a spore-like curse to devour its enemies, leaving some residue in its body. They are currently undergoing further examination at a hospital under the Cursed Sorcerer Association.

"Look, so many level one curse spirits!"

Haibara Yu excitedly patted Nanami Kento on the shoulder; clearly, he was a big fan of Natsumi Yuki.

First-year students have no chance to come into contact with level one cursed spirits. They can barely even handle level two cursed spirits. Last time, a level two cursed spirit that went berserk almost killed Nanami Kento.

"what!"

"Nanami, I feel so happy that I was able to witness Xia You's battle in person."

"Yeah, I saw it too."

Nanami said in a complicated tone

Is the difference in strength really that great?

Despite being a year behind the second-year students, Nanami Kento, a first-year student, is already struggling to reach the level two of the Spell Spirit realm.

However, Xia Youjie, who is a year older than him, can already control a level 30 first-level cursed spirit without any apparent difficulty.

“Jay has already gone all out, except for the special-grade cursed spirits.”

Gojo Satoru is shown with his sunglasses off, his six eyes fixed intently on the two people on the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Nanami Kento was even more surprised.

"They even subdued a top-tier cursed spirit."

"Can such an outrageous opponent really be defeated?"

Nanami Kento looked worriedly towards the location of Xia Youjie's opponent, who was also the place where Isayama Kenmei, his former savior, was.

Damn it, the opponent is too strong.

Although Senior Isayama's physical skills were able to suppress Xia Youjie and Yaga Masamichi.

But as expected, in battles between sorcerers, the real deciding factor is still sorcery.

But if Xia Youjie knew what Qi Haijian was thinking, he would probably give a bitter smile.

Did you make a mistake?

Xia Youjie is the real challenger.

Even the presence of these powerful level-one curse spirits could not bring him any sense of security in the face of the opponent he was about to face.

The memory of Xianming punching him in the stomach, causing stomach acid to guzzle out, is still vivid.

"I don't want to lose so badly again in front of so many people."

The sweat on Xia Youjie's forehead was from
