Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 7: Alex's Abilites

"It wasn't wrong, King Alex, but that was only for vampires with low blood purity. There was a reason you were chosen; in the past, vampires existed on your planet, and you had part of their genes.

But as the progenitor, you didn't need to drink blood; what you needed was a life force.

There were traces of it in blood and even in the food you ate, but you wouldn't get enough from just meals.

You needed to absorb real-life force from sentient beings. As for how much you needed, you would understand when you returned, King."

"That's good to know then. By the way, I noticed Mingyue's amber eyes had a tint of red in them. Was that because of the transformation?"

In response to his question, Vesa's ruby eyes shone, and then a mirror appeared in front of Alex.

He could see his own appearance, noticing that his blue eyes also had a tinge of red in the center.

"Did this mean my eyes would turn completely red when I fully transformed?"

"Yes, King. Your hair would also turn silver, but you could easily learn some illusion runes later on."

"Runes?"

"Runes were an ancient magic of us Vampires. As you became stronger, you would start learning them."

Vesa then became confused, seeing Alex keep looking at the mirror, but then understood what Alex was doing, making it laugh.

"King, you really were something else, huh?"

"Well, I was just imagining my face with white hair and red eyes. I knew I'd look even more handsome that way."

Alex then smirked and struck a cool-guy pose. "Don't you think your King is handsome? Understand that I don't take no for an answer."

Vesa laughed. "I don't get it, even by your world's standards, how you could be so calm. Even the Queen was still worried."

At the mention of Mingyue, Alex smirked, "I was sure she would become more beautiful when she transformed, too.

As for panicking, you should know about my abilities, right?"

Vesa nodded with its round body and replied with a chuckle, "Seems the King was quite smitten with the Queen. Well, the situation would guarantee you end up together anyway."

"Even without it, I was sure she would fall for me at some point." Alex looked once again at the mirror, nodding to himself before his eyes turned serious.

"Alright, send me back now, Vesa. I knew creating this space took a toll on your energy."

Vesa gave a royal bow with one of its wings and replied, "As you wished, King. The progenitor blood seemed to have chosen the best candidate."

Alex then felt like he was being pulled out by something; the world turned black for a moment before he opened his eyes.

He found himself in the same room where he had the treatment before.

In front of his eyes, a few interfaces started appearing. From the information injected by Vesa, he already understood how to navigate through it.

He then checked his status.

Seeing the data, Alex knew the system simplified their strength into a power level to make it easy for him to understand.

He could also use it to check abilities and other information anytime he wanted on anything.

This made Alex feel elated.

'The progenitor blood really enhanced the ERX chip to a whole new level,' he thought.

Lifeforce showed his hunger level.

Right now, he was overly full because of the life force remaining from the progenitor blood he had consumed.

When it dropped below 75%, he would start feeling hungry. It would intensify as it got lower, potentially driving him into a berserk state if it reached below 10%.

"You finally woke up. You almost gave me a heart attack," a worried voice came to his ear, making Alex turn his face.

He could see Prof Faerith sitting there by his side, her eyes moving, reading data on a tablet.

Her slender fingers kept scrolling through the information.

"Your body seemed to have become stronger than before. Based on your last data, it should be at least double. How about your abilities?"

Looking at her expression, eyes, and lips, Alex's lips curved upward into a smile. "It enhanced my abilities too, Prof. Faerith."

Alex then raised his upper body, stood up, and pulled the IV drip from his hand.

"I should thank you, but wasn't what happened to me illegally?

I was sure you used the ads as bait to replace someone who could trigger the blood, right? I could sue you for that, Ms. Faerith."

Hearing what Alex said made Faerith frown. "Your abilities were such a hassle? Cognitive Matrix, was it?"

"It allowed you to analyze every single piece of information you got from your senses and make various scenarios and conclusions from it.

It used to make your head hurt when you used it, but now it seemed you could use it as you liked," she sighed before continuing.

"So, what did you want? I have checked your information. As someone who came from a billionaire family, I doubted you needed money."

Now sitting on the bedside, Alex said, "Nope, what I needed was you, Prof. Faerith."

As he said this, many pieces of information were shown from the system, helping his ability to make a conclusion.
