Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex then sighed, "What a dangerous geezer. Thankfully, no one in my faction will learn that power system."

The thought lingered in his mind, the terrifying potential that this system could achieve. Thankfully, this power system would not have been learned by those who were important to him.

He then started making the same circle but using runes. Alex carved it directly into his brain, and as he did this, another idea sparked in his mind.

What if he expanded the enhancement, extending it to his whole body?

This way, the speed of thought and action would rise to a new level. He could then utilize his ability optimally.

The more he thought about it, the more the idea made sense. Zole's ability worked like this; he used electricity to bypass the nerves and react instantly without passing through his brain.

He also started crafting runes that allowed him to create fire elements directly. This way, he wouldn't need to painstakingly learn the secret technique to create one. It would cut down a lot of time.

"I think if everything works without side effects, this could also be done to MingYue and others; it will raise our strength to a whole new level."

Even though it wouldn't directly raise their power, it would cut down cast time exponentially.

This rune formation also acted as a bridge that fused all their power systems.

Hours flew by as he kept working on it, his mind completely focused on the task, absorbing all the information. Alex started feeling he was getting in touch with something big.

What if he created a whole new cultivation system utilizing runes? Everyone had lifeforce, so they all could learn it.

Although Vampires would have some edge compared to other species, this would still not block them from pursuing this path.

But Alex also didn't want to just make one method that everyone could learn. If Solomon could put a failsafe on a power system, he felt he should also do it. But this would not be easy.

So many things needed to be done. Solomon only modified an existing path, while Alex wanted to completely create a new one. The possibility was intriguing, but this was all just theory—who knew if it would be really effective or not?

Time quickly passed as he dabbled in the theory and created the custom formation.

His progress halted when he felt someone tug on his shoulder. The sun had already set, and it was now time for his dinner.

Looking back, he saw MingYue.

"Your sister told me we would have dinner together. You still not finished?" MingYue asked.

She found Alex's hyper-focused state interesting.

"Oh, it will still take a long time." He then looked through the window and realized it was already night. "Alright, let's go."

Days then passed peacefully. MingYue spent her time practicing or shopping with Emily. She started adjusting to Alex's world culture.

Meanwhile, Alex was still busy experimenting with the method. Vesa still hadn't come out to help him, as she was busy in Edonia.

In Edonia, Elvira was now talking with Petricia and Luciel.

After she recovered, Luciel heard everything that had happened from Elvira. She then decided to support her daughter since this was an opportunity they couldn't miss.

As for her brother and father, both of them were busy managing the civilians.

A red fog then appeared, materializing into Vesa, "Have you made the decision? I already did what the king said.

What you need to do now is meet the sovereign on the other side and create a peace treaty.

The next step will be focusing on education, and this is where I expect you and Luciel to take a major part."

"That is not a problem, but with the current population number, we will need more people and time.

In my opinion, it's better if we prepare all the systems first before we make a peaceful resolution.

This way, the civilians won't complain when all of them suddenly get mandatory education," Luciel suggested.

As someone with experience managing a city, Luciel had some skill in managing the populace.

Right now, they were focused on the conflict. If this was solved first, their attention would turn elsewhere and raise the possibility for another problem to occur.

After all, pushing a major change, good or not, would always be met with resistance.

People loved staying in their routine.

"It's not just education. I think we should put them to work, too, based on their expertise.

As you can see, this city wouldn't be enough for everyone. I can use my ability, but that would be a waste of energy."

"That is a good idea. When people don't have any work, they will start getting some weird thoughts.

It's better if we make them go home tired from working and studying, at least until they adapt to the new change."

Elvira, meanwhile, just watched from the side, seeing her mom take the reins. Seeing her being active and healthy now made her smile.

As for Petricia, she didn't care much. She knew Vesa was Alex's familiar, so she would follow anything Vesa said as long as it didn't hurt Alex and the others.

Meanwhile, Quartz was busy teaching students, and Zold started leading some teams to raid a dungeon.

Suzaku Guild had accepted some new hunters, and one of them had a similar appearance to Alucard. His name was Belmond.

While raiding the dungeon, Zold had another task: to capture some monsters stealthily for Alex to experiment with.

Meanwhile, Emily also started thinking about creating a bounty hunter squad to hunt the dark guilds.

After their encounter in the Scorched Dune Labyrinth, she realized dark dungeons hid more secrets than they knew of.

The more they could capture, the more information they would find, raising their understanding of the real situation. This would also help their guild's reputation, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

In the office, Alex was now sitting across from Emily. "Have you heard anything from Mom? I'm starting to get worried." Read more adventures at m-vl-em-pyr
