Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: Domain of Blood

Franky didn’t give it any thought and said decisively, "My words are very simple; since you are my student, I will cherish you as my own child. Before anyone tries to harm you, they must step over my dead body!"

At this point, you saw the spirit and conviction in Franky’s eyes that you had hoped to see.

A few minutes later, without saying a word, you deeply bowed to Franky, performing a grand gesture of respect, which left him stunned.

"What are you doing?" Franky was dazed by your series of actions.

"In our hometown, this is the necessary custom when acknowledging a master." At this moment, you cast aside your usual flippancy and vulgarity, truly becoming a disciple who is humble and respectful.

Franky’s face showed a beaming smile, "Good! For that very phrase, I, Franky, will accept you as my student today!"

Franky helped you up and said with a laugh, "Lei Xiu, who would have thought that beneath that chunky appearance, there lies a hint of a great man’s presence. Ah, I see potential in you, keep it up!"

However, your expression didn’t reveal any ease, it became even more serious, as if foretelling a great storm was about to envelop the building.

"What’s wrong?" Franky inquired.

"Teacher, I have a secret..."

You paused, gazing at Franky’s sincere face, and then made up your mind to reveal the secret held deep in your heart, "Actually, I’m not Lei Xiu. My real name is Li Yun, just a street ruffian..."

You fully disclosed to Franky everything that had happened to you, and after hearing it all, Franky stared at you with a solemn expression, pondering, "No wonder, no wonder you don’t seem anything like the Lei Xiu from the rumors."

"Keeping this secret inside was truly painful. Honestly, although I may not show it, my heart is more oppressed than anyone else’s. Ever since having this body, I live in constant fear every day, frightened that my true identity will be exposed and wondering if the members of the Reksas clan would end my life with a single slash."

Now that it was out, you weren’t afraid of Franky betraying your secret, "I’m not afraid of death, but I feel indignant about being blamed for someone else’s misdeeds! I admit that I’m not a good person myself, but compared to Lei Xiu, at least I am somewhat decent, while that son of a..."

"Enough, say no more." Franky interrupted you, "Although there’s nobody here, it would be bad if someone overheard. Remember, as long as you have become Lei Xiu, you must continue playing the role. Only when one day your power surpasses everyone and you are no longer restrained by anyone, then can you reveal your identity with integrity."

"Teacher, teach me close combat magic! I must become the next Asuna!" Franky watched you with a smile, slowly yet firmly nodding his head.

At this very moment, in a secret chamber of the Prime Minister Mansion in Bolton City, the Imperial Capital of the Qinglan Kingdom, Lei Xiaochen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, intently staring at an exquisitely beautiful lady painted on the wall, his solemn expression faintly revealing a hint of malice.

"My Lord." At this time, a hunched old man quietly entered through a side door of the secret chamber.

"How is Xiu doing?"

"Fortunately, the young master always carried The Demigod Artifact Soul Bridge, which saved his soul. After several days of care, the master’s Spiritual Body is no longer in any serious danger, and now he is insisting on seeing you, Master."

"And what about Xiu’s physical body? How is it now?" Lei Xiaochen’s voice was very cold, as if all these matters were unrelated to him.

"According to the spies, the young master’s physical body appears stronger than before the switch, but it has not yet undergone a transformation."

Lei Xiaochen’s fist tightened slightly, and the vast space suddenly distorted, making the already stooped back of the old man appear even more bent: "Take me to see Xiu."

"Yes!"

The hunched old man led Lei Xiaochen into a dark chamber. Only a few Luminous Pearls emitted a dim light in the chamber, and hovering in the room was a Crystal Ball the size of a fist. As the two entered, a man’s voice echoed immediately: "Father! You must save me!"

Lei Xiaochen looked at the Crystal Ball with an indifferent expression and said slowly: "All of this is the fruit of your own actions. Who else can you blame?"

"I will never dare to do it again, I swear to the Father God!" Seeing that Lei Xiaochen did not respond, Lei Xiu cried out in desperation. His cries did not last long before Lei Xiaochen roared angrily: "Stop crying! A grown man weeping like a woman, you have brought shame to our clan’s name!"

"Father!"

"Enough! I’ve found a fine body for you. You’ll set off for the Imperial Academy tonight. I want you to revert to your former self immediately, then diligently complete your studies. If you cause any more trouble, beware I might break your legs!"

"Thank you, father!"

"Don’t get ahead of yourself in celebrating. There’s still much for you to do next. After you get to the Imperial Academy, the first thing is to swap bodies with that person, then kill him and forever seal this secret."

"Don’t worry, I will handle it well."

"The day you handle something well..." Lei Xiaochen turned to ask the stooped old man beside him, "Does the young miss know about this?"

"Master, the young miss is not aware."

"Then keep it from her."

"Yes!"

"Teacher, where are you taking me?" After performing the ceremony to formally become Franky’s student, you officially became a pupil of his. Franky didn’t lead you out of the Haotian Tower immediately but continued to ascend.

"We’re going to the sixth floor."

"What for?"

"I want to test the rank of your Domain of Blood."

"Rank?" You were momentarily puzzled.

"The Domain of Blood has ranks as well. Take your God’s Power, for instance. In fact, among humans across the three empires, there are many who possess a Domain of Blood just like you. However, there are differences in ranks among you—the higher the rank, the greater the power, with the highest being the Ninth Rank."

While talking, Franky took you to a dreamlike space. Upon entering this space, you felt as though you were stepping on clouds. Looking up, a faint mist hovered above your head, with stars twinkling, seemingly boundless as far as the eye could see.

"Place your hand on this Crystal Ball." Franky instructed you to place your hand on an oval Crystal Ball as tall as you, and you did as told. Franky silently chanted an Incantation, and then the Crystal Ball in front of you shone with a purple light.

"Oh, quite impressive indeed, an Eighth Stage Domain of Blood!" Franky’s face revealed a gratified smile upon seeing the purple glow. However, his smile had not yet faded when a black light began to emanate from within the Crystal Ball.

"What’s happening?" Franky’s smile froze, replaced with a look of astonishment as he stared at the Crystal Ball.
