Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 259: Blood Control

Otherwise, we vampires would have already adopted cultivation since it makes us stronger."

"Cultivation is slow and full of risks. Comparing it to the vampire method of raising their power, I think it's not impossible.

It's just that no one put in the effort to find the solution."

"It's possible. I hope you can find a better way, Sir Alex and bring a new golden age for us, Vampire." Thalia replied with a smile. She then continued explaining the ability.

"Let me start now. Blood is a part of any being; it moves energy to all our body parts. This includes circulating our life force to each cell that needs it.

Controlling blood is not as simple as what you see. You need to first feel the life force circulating in your body.

I believe this part is not hard for both of you, but the next part…"

Thalia paused for a moment, then continued, "You need to focus on the life force in your blood vessels.

How it moves and circulates in your body, how much is there, and how much is used by each organ. You know this without thinking before you even try to control your blood.

Imagine this: you move all your blood, creating a weapon, but since you took too much, it results in a lack of blood circulating in your body.

It's not funny collapsing because of that, right?"

Alex could not help but let out a small chuckle upon hearing this.

He quickly imagined someone creating a huge attack using blood, all the destructive power, only to then faint before releasing it because of the lack of blood.

"That would be hilarious."

"You will be surprised, Sir Alex, how many times this has happened in the past," Thalia replied.

MingYue, meanwhile, didn't think it was that funny since that was a fatal mistake in the middle of combat.

"In that case, don't we just need to use life force in our bone marrow to raise the amount of blood we produce?" MingYue asked.

She has used qi and mana to enhance her own body, so despite her reluctance to learn biology, she still learned many parts and how her body really works.

"It's not that simple, Lady MingYue. If, for example, you put too much blood in your veins, it will end up with your veins swelling.

In the worst case, they will tear. If you put too much in your organs, it could trigger organ failure.

This is why it's important to find the maximum blood you can have and control without disturbing your body's function."

"What is the next step then?"

"After you learn the limits of your body perfectly, the next step is to create a new pathway to allow your blood to come out of your body without wounding it.

This is the first phase of learning blood manipulation.

Also, if you want to ask, no, we vampires don't have these kinds of organs since birth.

We are a race born with attunement over life force. This means we have an easier way to control it.

The blood part only came as our less talented people found a way to fight on their own."

She then told Alex and MingYue to focus on the circulation of blood in their bodies to start feeling the amount.

Both of them sat cross-legged and then started meditating. Closing their eyes, they began focusing their focus inside, feeling everything inside their bodies.

As both of them already used qi and mana to enhance their bodies, they easily felt this on the pathway. MingYue had it easier as she had practiced secret techniques that required specific motions.

She had learned to control her blood flow as it affected how her muscles would move and contract.

Compared to her, Alex had a harder time. So far, he only controlled his Qi and life force, channeling it to the embershift hammer. Only in the last fight did he try to move it in motion to perform the movement technique.

But Alex had more of an edge compared to MingYue in finding the capacity of his veins, as his ability helped him a lot in the process.

MingYue then tried to start moving the blood, but she got confused as she remembered blood was already in circulation in her body all the time.

How could she test it out?

As she knew this was not her forte, she asked Alex about this.

"Use your qi to create something like a tap that blocks the blood flow. This will allow you to know how much the veins can hold before you push it more."

"I see, that makes sense. But what if we then try to increase our blood quantity? It will flow to all our body at the same rate."

"It works under the same principle, MingYue. It's like controlling traffic.

We make a few gap points where one part is bigger than the other while looking at how it affects every part.

I am guessing this is similar to how we control our transformation.

Too much blood pressure and flow to the brain will be bad, but a raise at the right rate will make my brain work faster."

"A traffic? You mean like the cars on the street in the movie I watched?"

"Yes, remember, sometimes the cars stop, and sometimes not.

This is to control the flow, making sure all the cars don't crash into each other. But now, change the cars to your blood while the traffic light is a tap.

By the way, MingYue, any suggestion on how to control the blood?"

"Yes, it's not that hard, Alex. Remember how you felt when you infused qi into the hammer?

I don't know how other vampires do it, but this is how I learned to control mine: by infusing Qi into the blood.

In the first place, we already have Qi in it. What we do is just try to be aware of this qi."

"Alright, I will try it."

Both of them then helped each other try to understand it. Despite what she said, Thalia expected them to finish in less than an hour or, at worst, two hours.
