Tom's hand moved quickly, pushing miss Claudia away from him. But she did not budge. Her arms wrapped around him and he could not get them off.

"Miss, please let me go."

She did not reply.

'Fuck, I am going to die running out of blood!'

Miss Claudia was like a hungry leech, penetrating her teeth deep into his neck and sucking his blood. He felt weaker by the second. He wanted to push her away, but despite the pain, he felt waves after waves of pleasure.

'Is this what my victim feels when I drink their blood? No wonder they are quite happy.'

Tom felt the pleasure quite overwhelming. It was like consuming the best drug in the world. Not that he knew how it felt, but if he had to guess, this must how it feel.

Slowly, his strength left him, and he felt sleepy. His eyelids began to close and slowly it was only darkness.

Suddenly, a deep dark voice called him out.

"AWAKE!"

Tom abruptly opened his eyes and his body suddenly produced explosive strength, enough to push miss Claudia away.

Miss Claudia was slightly startled as she wiped the blood on her lips. Her red dress and beautiful robe was replaced by a dark Gothic dress. Her snow-white skin, and red lips matched perfectly with the dress she wore.

But Tom was not focusing on that. He stood on battle stance as Claudia's heels clanging against the floor, approaching him with threatening cold gaze.

"Miss Claudia, why are you doing this?"

"Your blood."

"My blood? What about it?"

"It's different than anything I have ever taste. The quality, the scent, the taste. Everything is different. Before, I find blood to be distasteful, but now I can see why most of my family members love it."

"Miss Claudia, are you a vampire?"

"Are you not as well?" Claudia asked.

Tom was actually half vampire, half demon, and half human, so calling him a vampire wasn't wrong.

"You can say that."

"Then you will not find my presence to be an anomaly."

"But why is your family hiding? From what I know, there's a lot of vampire family growing in the kingdom."

Claudia frowned. "You do not need to know that. Now come here and let me feast on you."

"Not now, Miss Claudia. I think I am running out of blood, so I will take my leave." Tom walked to the gate and pushed it open only to find out that he was unable to open it at all.

Turning around, he said. "Miss, can you help me opening this door?"

"You are mine now. You will not go anywhere."

Tom gritted his teeth. 'Fucking hell! I am really going to die now. I am just a clone, so it's fine, but I hate the feeling of dying. And I certainly will not let this woman what she wanted to easily.'

As Tom was deep in his thought, a dark after-image appeared beside him. His eyes moved to the side only to see a hand grabbing at him.

"Shit!" Red energy exuded out of his body and gave him incredible strength as Tom punched out, pushing Claudia a dozen meter away.

Tom looked at his hand wondering where that power came from. After he checked, he realized the Phantom Doomblade had lend its strength for him.

His body was incredibly weakened because Claudia sucked his blood for a while.

"I am going to rely on you, buddy," Tom said.

Miss Claudia was far more powerful than him. And she was certainly more powerful than the top 15th or even top 1st student. Not to mention her mysterious background made Tom worried of what she was capable of. Even his godly eyes failed to analyze her true strength.

Claudia glanced at him calmly. She raised her palm and spelled out: "Blood Magic: Lances of Pain."

Red magic circles appeared in the air, glowing with runes. They shot lances one after another.

"Shit! Phantom Doomblade, come out!"

Fire came ablaze in his hands as the blade appeared with fearsome aura. Miss Claudia slightly frowned when she saw this. Tom then knocked all the lances to the side one by one. His movement was so fast, and the lances that he could not hit were dodged by ducking, rolling, and tilting his body in unique angle.

Claudia snapped her fingers and the number of magic circles quadrupled. Their speed of shooting the lances at him increased by tenfold.

"Fuck!" Tom reached out with his hand and shouted: "Enchanted Barrier!"

A transparent screen wrapped around Tom, protecting him from the lances.

"Your barrier will break soon."

Right after that statement, the barrier shattered. It could not hold against Claudia's fearsome attack.

"Enchanted Barrier!" Tom casted the same spell again.

A few seconds later, the barrier shattered.

"Enchanted Barrier!"

"Enchanted Barrier!"

"Enchanted Barrier!"

"Enchanted Barrier!"

"Enchanted Barrier!"

"Enchanted Barrier!"

The barrier shattered again and again, but Tom simply casted the same spell over and over.

Claudia stood still and coldly looked at Tom as if she was waiting.

Hours passed, then it turns into days, days turn into weeks, weeks turns into months.

"Impossible. Your mana… why are you not running out of mana yet?"

Tom laughed as he casted a barrier spell. "I can do this for eternity if you want me to."

Tom said that but he was actually pretty tired. His mana might be limitless, but he was feeling tired mentally.

But he was also confused. How could Claudia sustain her spell for so long?

Tom looked around and noticed the tower actually fed the magic circles with energy. He did not know how long could the tower last, but he did not want to take a guess.

"Miss Claudia. I am now your student. I will let you drink my blood, but in return I want rare skills, potions, herbs, secret treasure, and special access to information."

Claudia glared at him as if angered that he dare to bargain with her. "Is that all?"

"Actually, there is one more. I want to drink your blood as well."

Her lips twitched, but she let out a sigh and spoke: "I agree."

She snapped her fingers and the attack stopped.

Tom let out a breath of relief as he disabled the barrier.

The gate slammed open. Wind rushed inside, blowing Tom's hair. Then suddenly, Claudia's beautiful face was right in front of him. Her lips was so close to his.

"If you dare to against your words…"

A knife appeared in Claudia's hand and she stabbed it into his neck.

Tom trembled. His body couldn't react properly, but a second later, he realized it was an illusion.

'How did she do that?'

Claudia reached out with her hand and then flicked his forehead, pushing him at high speed, making everything else seemed blurry. But he smoothly stopped, feet landed on the ground.

The tower trembled and went under the ground.

Tom shook his head in fear. "Crazy. Everything in this continent is crazy!"

Tom was really grateful that his true body was hiding in the divine dimension. Who knew what the hell would happen to him if his body was outside.

The magic power of the beings here were still out of his reach. It was not just reality-bending, but their spells made Tom questioned his own consciousness.

"I shouldn't be thinking about this. It will only hurt my head."

Tom was about to walk away until something bumped against his feet. It was a bag.

Opening it, he saw dozens of shining potion bottles and jade box with magical aura all over them.

Tom's eyes lit up. "This is…"

He scanned the items one by one.

"Heavenly Blood Pill. This can triple my blood essence in an instant??? A pill like this exist?"

"Essence of a Thousand Warrior. This essence can increase my physical durability by 250%."

"Blood Mana Herb. If I consume this herb, the quality of my mana will increase the more blood essence I have."

"God-Poison Dagger. This dagger is so powerful its poison can even injure high Diamond Rank! If my Phantom Doomblade consume this dagger, it will become stronger than before."

Tom laughed as he put the items into his inventory one by one.

Happy with his items, Tom humphed a joyful tone as he walked out of the garden.

Meanwhile, the teachers that secretly spied on him were confused.

"What just happened?"

"He's been inside that tower for a day, but a Spiritbound Tower is not bound by time or space, so in reality it might be much longer than that."

"Why did Claudia gave him a lot of valuable items?"

"Perhaps she's making a deal with him to receive his father's favor."

"Bullshit. The Axbrid family never make a deal with any noble family before. Why would they make one with a new noble family all of a sudden? Not to mention Aldred's existence was controversial."

"We need to watch Tom more closely."

"Be careful. The Axbrid family might put a protection around him."

"I know."
