Chapter 038: The Prince

“A mere third-tier ability user dares to chase after me, Chris?” The handsome young man, Chris, suddenly accelerated, pushing aside the rain around him as if he were a sharp sword moving swiftly through the downpour.
“Water is my world!”
Chen Xiao had clearly expected the other party to have discovered him, but amidst the torrential rain, an inexplicable sense of pride arose in his heart. Water was Chen Xiao’s world. And Chen Xiao was the heir to the Water Deity, possessing its divine essence and destined to become the future Water Deity! In such a world dominated by water, the authority of the Water Deity could not be defiled.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Chen Xiao’s connection with water surged dramatically, as if his entire being were about to merge with the rain in the world. The powerful force of the Water Deity enveloped his body. At that moment, the rain scattered throughout the sky seemed to be drawn by some force, unconsciously converging toward Chen Xiao.
In mid-air, Chris, who was moving swiftly, changed expression. He felt as though his body was being restrained by the rain, causing his speed to drop sharply.
“A Water ability user with such unparalleled connection to water. No wonder a mere third-tier ability user like you dares to chase after me. But so what? A rank difference cannot be bridged by natural conditions.”
A dark glow suddenly appeared on Chris’s body, counteracting the restraining effect of the rain. He then completely disappeared into darkness.
“This guy is really strong.” Chen Xiao’s body was almost fused with the rain, appearing and disappearing in the downpour as if moving in flashes. Yet even so, he hadn’t closed the distance to Chris.
But within Chen Xiao, a defiant spirit surged. The elusive power of the Deity reappeared in his mental sea, circulating wildly with his mental energy. His body seemed on the verge of turning into water.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s speed increased again.
“I really want to see what these vampires are up to. With the discord between the Eastern and Western ability worlds, and your daring to come to my homeland of China, there must be some scheme behind this.”
After all, Chen Xiao was Chinese, with a passionate spirit deep in his bones. Moreover, having joined the Soul of China, his responsibilities didn’t allow him to stand idly by while a Western vampire roamed in Beijing, the capital of China.
Chen Xiao had no intention of informing the other members of the Soul of China. This vampire gave him an extremely terrifying feeling. Likely, except for the enigmatic Yu Ye Xiao Chen, none of the group members could withstand him.
If it weren’t for Chen Xiao’s ability to summon Chou Hen with a single thought, and the endless confidence given by the heavy rain, he might not have had the courage to chase after them.
Boom… Boom…
After several flashes of lightning and thunderclaps, the rain grew heavier, as if the heavens themselves were pouring out their displeasure.
In such an environment, Chen Xiao felt his power growing stronger, and his connection with water becoming even tighter.
Gradually, the two left the city and arrived at the banks of the Chaobai River, where Chen Xiao had first obtained the Deity’s essence.

“Water, Bind!”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao stopped in his tracks. He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, as the power of the Supreme God, along with Chen Xiao’s mental energy, surged forth from his body.
Whoosh!
The heavy rain in the air seemed to instantly coalesce into a three-meter-wide web of water, sweeping toward Chris’s body.
At this moment, Chris’s speed also slowed down. To avoid exposing himself, he planned to kill this arrogant kid right before his eyes.
“Trivial tricks!”
Seeing the massive web of water closing in, Chris showed a hint of disdain. His body suddenly transformed into a thin thread, instantly bypassing the water web and charging straight at Chen Xiao’s body.
“Water!”
Chen Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply as the Star-Moon Staff appeared in his hand. With a gentle wave of the staff, the rain around him gathered instantly, forming a ten-meter-long giant water dragon with claws and fangs, charging at Chris.
“Go!”
A black light condensed instantly above Chris’s palm, slashing down at the water dragon’s head.
Boom!
That once-mighty water dragon, under Chris’s black light, seemed like just a decoration and was instantly shattered.
Chen Xiao’s face turned pale as he stepped back slightly.
“Sworn Companion!”
That water dragon was already the result of him using all his strength and leveraging the surrounding environment to launch an attack, yet it was still easily broken by the opponent. Chen Xiao knew clearly that this guy was at least two ranks above him.
Being a hero wasn’t something Chen Xiao liked to do. After testing his current strength, he hesitated not for a moment and summoned Sworn Companion, retreating at the same time.
Bang!
Sworn Companion appeared right in front of Chen Xiao, who punched at Chris.
Chris, who hadn’t expected a third person to appear suddenly, was caught off guard and sent flying by Sworn Companion’s punch.
“Hmph!”
Sworn Companion snorted coldly and chased after Chris without hesitation.
“So strong! A sixth-rank powerhouse!”
Chris’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly stabilized himself in mid-air, revealing his true vampire form.
Sharp fangs protruded from his upper jaw, delicate features began to appear on his cheeks, and a pair of blood-red wings unfolded instantly.
Just as Chris finished transforming, Sworn Companion’s attack arrived.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom…
In an instant, both of their bodies turned into afterimages, moving back and forth through the rain, exchanging blows, while all the rain within ten meters was swept aside by them.
At this point, their figures could no longer be seen with the naked eye. Even with Chen Xiao’s current mental strength, he could only detect them.
“This guy can actually compete evenly with Sworn Companion!” Chen Xiao was shocked. Although Sworn Companion’s strength was suppressed to the sixth rank due to certain rules, a sixth-rank powerhouse was already a dominant force in the world of supernatural abilities. And this vampire could match Sworn Companion, meaning he was also at least sixth rank!

It’s only because Chen Xiao is still an inexperienced abuser right now. If it were another abuser here, they would immediately recognize it—Blood Wings is a sixth-tier vampire, a symbol of a prince!
The vampire hierarchy consists of five noble titles: duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, corresponding to the first five tiers of abusers.
The fifth and sixth tiers represent a huge divide—vampires at the sixth tier are prince-level vampires! One tier higher is the emperor-level vampire.
As for abusers at the eighth and ninth tiers, they haven’t appeared in the world of abusers for countless years and have long become legendary figures.
“Damn it! Sixth-tier vampires have come to the East—what on earth is going to happen?!” Chen Xiao didn’t believe this guy had come here for vacation. Thinking of the seven vampires who had died to protect some secret, Chen Xiao gradually realized something.
Chen Xiao frowned, gritted his teeth, and once again used his mental power to communicate with a world in the Main God’s Space.
“In the name of Chen Xiao, I summon you, my divine disciple!”
Whoosh! Suddenly, two figures—one black and one white—appeared before Chen Xiao.
