Chapter 1109 - 441: Scarlet Pupil Skill Mastered
"Cultivating this Pupil Skill is not just about controlling human hearts, but also a refinement of one’s own nature!"
"Perhaps, at this moment, I am still unqualified to possess such a formidable power."
"But I believe, through continuous cultivation, through repeated breakthroughs of the self, I will eventually make myself worthy of it!"
Zhang Beixing closed his eyes again, immersing his entire mind in cultivation.
This time, he was in no rush for quick success, but instead adopted a more composed mindset, to feel and comprehend the mysteries within the blood.
The crimson light once again circulated in the vessels.
Only this time, it seemed to have become more gentle and more compliant.
Thread by thread, strand by strand, it flowed through Zhang Beixing’s perception, merging with his Intent.
It was as if some kind of marvelous connection was being established between Zhang Beixing and the blood.
Thus, day after day passed by.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Beixing had been in seclusion for a full month.
During this month, the changes at Alba Manor could be described as earth-shattering.
Under Richard’s strategic management, the once chaotic and loose power structure had been reconstituted.
Those ambitious plotters were either subdued or eliminated.
The Alba Clan had now taken shape as an unprecedented colossus.
And Alina was not idle either.
During this month, she had contacted numerous Vampire Clans, enlisting many hidden forces for Zhang Beixing.
Originally adversarial humans and vampires, under her persuasion, experienced a subtle chemical change.
All signs indicated that a brand new era was quietly approaching.
Finally, on the morning of the 31st day,
the doors of the tightly closed secret chamber slowly opened.
Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Zhang Beixing’s figure appeared at the entrance.
Still wearing that immaculate black suit, still with that strikingly handsome face.
But everyone could feel that the man before them was no longer the same as before.
An almost tangible powerful aura radiated from him, enveloping the entire space.
Those originally deep and spirited eyes now turned completely blood-red!
Within the depths of his pupils, crimson flames flickered, like the hellfire from Hell.
Everyone understood what this represented.
The Pupil Skill had finally reached Great Accomplishment!
Zhang Beixing glanced over everything before him, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He could feel the powerful force within him, ready to erupt at any moment.
That was the Pupil Control Power, the supreme treasure acquired through a month of arduous cultivation.
Now, as long as he desired, no one’s heart was beyond his control.
It seemed as though everything in the world was in the palm of his hand.
He slowly raised his hand and made a simple gesture.
Instantly, an invisible force swept across the entire hall.
The steward and servants, along with Richard and Alina, who came to greet Zhang Beixing, involuntarily fell to one knee!
Their eyes turned hollow and bewildered as if they had lost their self-will.
All bowed their heads and knelt, awaiting the master’s command.
"Very good, very good..."
Zhang Beixing nodded in satisfaction, his tone lazy yet laden with undeniable authority.
"From now on, all of you are my pieces, my puppets."
"Whatever I want you to do, you must do, even if it means scaling mountains of knives or descending into seas of fire."
"Remember, this is your only value."
Hearing these domineering words, everyone present trembled.
But they did not resist in the slightest, on the contrary, they knelt down and kowtowed, proclaiming "Master wise."
Zhang Beixing stepped down the stairs, each step as if treading upon the hearts of all.
He surveyed the surroundings, where his gaze landed, all were prostrated forms.
At this moment, he finally understood the joy of being above others.
What it meant to be a true king!
Only by standing at the pinnacle of power and strength and looking down upon all living things, could one possess the bearing of a true strongman!
Meanwhile, in another nebulous and ethereal space,
the Persuasion System silently observed it all, seemingly lost in thought.
[Host, you have done it, you have finally taken the crucial step towards the peak.]
The System’s voice was filled with comfort and admiration.
[You have now mastered the Pupil Skill, possessing the power to manipulate hearts. It can be said that you have surpassed most people.]
[But you must remember, this is only the beginning.]
[Many who possessed power became lost in themselves. They were intoxicated by power and ultimately became slaves to it.]
[I hope you can avoid such traps and always maintain a calm and clear mind.]
[Only then can you truly harness power without being dominated by it.]
[I will guide you and help you as always, but I will also be strict with you.]
[Now, the future is in your hands. Are you ready to accept the challenge?]
The System’s words echoed in Zhang Beixing’s mind for a long time.
Zhang Beixing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, because the System was downright annoying, like a fly buzzing around his ear.
"I am ready!"
