Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Vesa was speechless; Alex wasn't wrong. One of the uses of life force would indeed allow them to regenerate their bodies, even if their heads were blasted away.

But this wasn't a game; Vesa hadn't told them this because she worried that Alex and MingYue might abuse the ability and end up with mental trauma instead.

Facing death wasn't a simple thing.

Even the past Progenitor went through a phase of madness after being killed for the first time.

The darkness, the fear, and the terror that came afterward made him a cruel tyrant for many centuries before he returned to normal.

Alex fell silent.

He didn't have a problem going crazy, dying over and over again, to help his sister.

But that didn't mean he could just bring MingYue into that hell with him.

It didn't take long for Alex to reach the facility again.

Emily was now lying on the bed, her face still pale; only the middle to the tip of her hair remained golden, while the rest had turned white.

Looking at her condition, Alex's hands clenched into fists.

He now used his ability at maximum capacity, calculating every possibility and the best way to cure Emily.

The first option was using the new cultivation technique, but it was too risky, and the result wasn't guaranteed.

The second option was searching for the rumored healing elixir, said to be found by some hunters in high-level dungeons.

It was said to be able to cure any illness and prolong someone's lifespan.

The third option involved asking MingYue for a solution from her world, and finally, there was the option of having Emily cultivate using the normal, proven method.

While Alex was contemplating the best course of action, Vesa was also on the fence.

Vesa had a solution, but it would place a considerable burden on Alex. However, after some thought, Vesa realized it would increase Alex's trust in the system.

[King, I have a solution, but it will require a massive amount of life energy.]

"Don't waste time, say it, Vesa."

[As you know, I can use runes.]

[There is one I can use now, but it will cost one thousand life energy, and you need to inject it every week or days, depending on her usage.]

[This rune will act as a new source of lifeforce, switching the consumption from her own.]

[So her own life force won't decrease. At the same time, it will help her recover to her peak condition.]

Alex's eyes widened in surprise. He wanted to ask why Vesa hadn't mentioned this earlier, but it wasn't important now.

He needed to gather more life force energy.

Lifeforce: 125/1,200

Alex knew he couldn't make the same mistake again; he needed to ensure he had a stockpile of life force energy aside from the one for Emily.

Without wasting time, Alex left the area and headed deeper into the forest.

CRACK! BOOM!!

Alex's body was covered in sweat and blood; his clothes were torn, and part of his hand was missing.

His other hand gripped a 1.5-meter (4.9 feet) Warhammer. It was made from a special metal that could change weight from a tenth of an average adult's weight to ten times that.

The Warhammer was black in color, with a silver hue adorning its head.

Alex had received it from Emily a few days ago, along with a dozen Mana Guns and other items.

Right now, he planted his Warhammer on the ground to help him remain standing, his breathing heavy.

A new message then popped up in front of his tired eyes, still glinting with determination, as the stump on his hand began to regenerate.

[King, you are too reckless. Why not attack the tiger from a distance? Your experience in real combat is almost non-existent.]

The only combat experience Alex had was from the fights he had in VR games. He felt relieved playing these games, not just those H ones.

Otherwise, Alex knew even with his current strength and ability, everything would become worse.

"I know what I'm doing, Vesa. Just look for the next target that meets my criteria."

Alex had calculated many possibilities; he could have actually evaded the tiger's faster attack, but in that case, his body was still not strong enough to launch a counterattack after dodging, which would have prolonged the battle.

That's why he decided to throw his arm away; as the tiger bit into it, he smashed its head with the Warhammer, turning it into a pancake.

His priority now was to fill the life force energy as fast as possible.

Even though the method was brutal and filled with pain, right now, Alex was filled with adrenaline. With Emily's current situation, he couldn't care less.

Lifeforce: 980/1200

As he waited for Vesa to find the next target, Alex sat on the ground in the lotus position and started absorbing more crystals, this time taking in two energies simultaneously.

He spread mana to his spine as qi coated with mana weaved through the muscles on his back, waist, and arms.

Even though this messed up the sequence he had planned, Alex was now in dire need of growing quickly in strength.

There were no problems when he transformed his spine, but when the qi started weaving through his muscles, he could feel like every cell was being inflated roughly.

The pain was even more intense compared to when he got his arm torn off, not to mention he did it to all three parts at once.

Alex could feel like his muscle fibers were being sewn anew, becoming more compressed and filled with more power.

After a few minutes that felt like an eternity, Alex stood up.

Swish, swoosh, he started swinging the hammer left and right, with speed faster than before.

BAM! He crashed it into the ground, creating a new deep crater.

Alex then turned his gaze, looking at the dead tiger's body. His eyes glinted red, and his body turned into green particles that floated through the air toward him.
