Who Said A Mosquito Can't Cultivate?

Ding!

'You have broken through to Qi Proliferation Stage 2.'

'Your constitution multiplier has been upgraded from 1.2x to 1.5x'

'Your maximum qi capacity has been upgraded from 1000 to 5000.'

'You have obtained 1 Qi Perception point.'

Hoh? So that's where you actually obtain more Qi Perception? Well…that's more or less obvious at this point. Since you absorb more and more qi and break through higher realms, it wouldn't be farfetched to say that your sense of perceiving qi is more or less at the same level as your vision, right? In fact, it also wouldn't be farfetched to say that it's your second pair of eyes when your eyes can't see what you want to see.

Anyways, other than that, my constitution multiplier has increased, which is pretty good since I can now exert a greater level of constitution thanks to it. Well, now that I think about it, does this constitution multiplier stack up with the effective constitution multiplier in the Physique section of the system? I'll have to check that out sooner or later. Well…now that I think about it, how would I check it in the first place? It's not like I can deactivate the effective constitution multiplier-

Ding!

'The effective constitution multiplier has been deactivated.'

…

Now the system is just bullying me. Either way, good to know. Since I now knew that I could deactivate the effective constitution multiplier even though the system probably did it to spite me, I could go ahead and see whether it stacks or not. For now, I'll just leave it activated.

As for the final notification, the amount of qi I can now store has increased by fourfold, allowing me to store 5000 points of qi. Sure, that's great and all since I can now talk for longer, but the real question is…

Has the speed of my qi absorption also increased by fourfold?

Whoosh!

Blank. Tune. Succ. Store.

Whoosh!

Ding!

'You have obtained 50 Qi.'

Huh. Well what do you know, the amount of qi I could receive from a single circulation seriously increased by fourfold. Neat. So…am I going to use this time to cultivate even more and stop once Yang Bailian wakes up from her deep sleep?

Nah, probably not. Sometimes, you just want to take a break from cultivating. Although the feeling of cultivation is quite addicting, there are some things I still want to do other than just cultivating. Like for example, test out the two new skills I obtained from awakening my bloodline a third time.

You know what? Now is a really good time for me to actually test it out. Right now, it's still nighttime, many animals are asleep, only a scant few are awake, a pretty good condition to test it out. And with those reasons in mind, I decided to follow through with that decision, flying off of the branch of the tree I was cultivating on, and heading towards an area where there was a decent number of animals. Of course, I marked Yang Bailian's position in my mind since I didn't want her to go screaming for a long time, unless I wanted her to attract some prey.

Hmm…you know what? That actually isn't a bad idea. I could use it to experiment even more with my skills, while giving her ways to satiate her hunger and thirst. Oh wait, only I like blood, so just hunger.

Whoosh!

Anyways, with my Spatial receptors on full blast, as well as my Sanguine receptors, I flew around a certain radius, with Yang Bailian as the center, to find an area where a lot of animals were in order for me to experiment with the two new skills.

Eh? What am I picking up?

…

Are you serious?

After a few minutes of travelling throughout the vicinity, my receptors could not help but sense a bunch of grouped up blood vessels that were gradually moving towards a single maze of blood vessels, where the latter was actually in a position I had marked in order to reduce my annoyances.

In other words, Yang Bailian was probably eyed by some predators. As for what kind of predators, I have no clue. Hmm…I guess I'll just tally it off as her good luck since I was only searching for animals near the vicinity of where she was sleeping. Other than that, they have incredibly bad luck to be the first batch of test subjects for my skill experimentation.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With Supersonic Flight and Void Enhancement+ activated, I had arrived above the place where the predators were hiding in a matter of a few seconds, a few dozen meters away from where Yang Bailian was. At first, I had the hunch that these predators were actually bandits that were out to get Yang Bailian, but after getting a closer look as to what they were, I could not help but mutter, "Ah. Food."

These predators were none other than wolves, animals that I have already s.u.c.k.e.d the shit out of, including their constitution. In other words, they're the perfect animals for me to test out my new abilities on!

Whoosh!

I gradually lowered my altitude, making sure to activate Void Presence+ since I didn't want the wolves to be alerted of my presence. Of course, to be extra safe, I made my way down bit by bit, taking a minute or so for me to eventually just hover a meter above the wolves.

Hmm…I guess this is a good height for me to start experimenting.

First off, Ranged Absorption. From the name alone, I could figure out that this skill would allow me to absorb blood from a further distance rather than poking my proboscis in some animal's skin before s.u.c.k.i.n.g. But the true question is, how far of a range do I have before I can't suck blood from them anymore? That's what I want to test.

Looking at the bunch in front of me, I have 8 tries to experiment with the potency and range of the two new skills I obtained. Well, I hope I could split it evenly between the two skills.

Anyways, let's start experimentation.

'Ranged Absorption!'

Weengggg…

Since I had Void Presence+ activated, it was not seen by the wolves, but at the very instant I activated Ranged Absorption, my proboscis started to glow a faint red as I could feel a suction force coming from a distanceaway, which was for some connected to the end of my proboscis.

With the skill activated, I then tilted my head for the proboscis to aim towards one of the eight wolves that were eyeing Yang Bailian.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

Woah. I can't believe it. As I'm hovering over from one of the wolves' bodies, I could feel the flow of blood coursing through my proboscis as it makes its way towards my blood storages. This…is the feeling I was missing! The feeling of blood coursing through my proboscis! With my increased blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency, the complexity of flavor of their blood has increased by multiple levels! Glorious!

Ding!

'You have obtained 1032 points of Impure Blood Energy from absorbing this creature.'

Thud.

Uh…what just happened?

As I hurriedly snapped myself back to reality after being engrossed in savoring the flavor of blood, my vision could not help but snap onto on the one of the wolves' bodies. To be more specific, the wolf that I was s.u.c.k.i.n.g from through Ranged Absorption. Well…in short, it's dead. Gone. Reduced to ashes…well not really reduced to ashes, but more like reduced to dried wolf jerky.

Anyways, looking at the amount I absorbed from this one wolf, I could not help but remember the advantages once I changed to Expert Mosquito mode. By the looks of it, it looks like that was true. So, in that case, the human I s.u.c.k.e.d back in that village would only give around 500 points or so if I wasn't in the Expert Mosquito mode?

That's…not really a lot, to be honest.

Moving on, after seeing that the skill actually worked, I then moved onto the next wolf, s.u.c.k.i.n.g its blood up as I slowly increased my altitude with the intent of knowing the absorption range. I am glad to say that the range is around 10 meters before the connection is cut off. How did I know this? Well uh…the second wolf died while I was around 3 meters above the wolf, so I moved onto another wolf…but that died while I was 6 meters above it, so I moved onto a fourth one. It was at the very instant before the fourth wolf died did I find out the range of the skill.

Man, the range this skill has is pretty OP if you think about it. Just imagine a scenario where a thief is running away with its loot after stealing from an innocent passerby. Then imagine me, activating Ranged Absorption as the thief gradually loses strength and turns into an emaciated corpse, making everyone scream in fear and probably give everyone a trauma they can't forget.

At first, I thought that scenario was kind of heroic, but right now, it's more horror than heroic when no one knows who did it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The four remaining wolves out of the eight that were eyeing Yang Bailian fled away after seeing their brethren fall onto the ground with a thud, with each and every one of them looking like some sort of dried wolf jerky. Of course, since I received 1000 points of blood per each wolf I killed, my blood storage was filled to its limit after I s.u.c.k.e.d the second one dry, so I just upgraded my Second Blood Storage by one level. Now that I think about it, s.u.c.k.i.n.g someone or something dry is kind of kinky.

Anyways, back to the topic of the four remaining wolves. What am I going to do with them? Just let them be? Normally, I would and find other animals to test the second skill on, but I'm too lazy to search through the vicinity one more time. Plus, the wolves are close to the edge of the seeing radius of my Spatial receptors, so why bother looking for other animals?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Since they were at the edge of the seeing radius of my Spatial receptors, it did not take me long to reach them as I still had Void Presence+ activated, making sure that I did not alert them…though the thing I did a while ago definitely alerted them that someone was eyeing them.

Speaking of which, how was I able to stay invisible while absorbing blood from those four wolves? Is it because I was not touching their skin, hence I did not become visible? Hmm…I'll have to test that out on the remaining four.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Like before, I gradually lowered my altitude to a height of a meter above the four wolves, who were currently trembling probably due to the sight that befell them a while ago. Then again, as if I cared about what other animals felt. For now, they're just test subjects, waiting for me to experiment my skills on them.

Now that I think about it, is Vitality Siphoning a close-ranged or a long-ranged skill? Well, no other way to find out other than using it.

'Vitality Siphoning!'

Ding!

'Please be in contact with a living being to use the skill.'

There we go. That solves the dilemma of whether it's a close-ranged or a long-ranged skill. Am I going to get close to those wolves? Nope, because I have another hypothesis in mind.

'Ranged Absorption!'

'Vitality Siphoning!'

Fwoosh!

Not long after activating those two skills simultaneously, a red light started to cover my proboscis, which gradually transformed into that of a green color! Oh boy…with the information I've received from experimenting with Ranged Absorption a while ago, it's time to succ the living shit out of these wolves…literally!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ding!

'You have obtained 0.5 years of lifespan.'

Eh? Just one wolf is enough to extend my lifespan by 50 percent? I had the hunch that Vitality Siphoning would allow me to extend my lifespan, but I never knew that it would allow me to extend my lifespan by that much! Speaking of lifespan, is there a limit as to how much lifespan I could have before it caps out or something? Or is there no limit at all?

Hmm…I'll try and see if there's a limit after absorbing these three remaining wolves. Anyways, if you wondering as to what happened to the first wolf that I s.u.c.k.e.d its vitality dry, at the instant after the notification resounded in my mind, the wolf just gradually disintegrated into ashes. Did that scare the three remaining wolves? Fortunately, no. Why? The first wolf I s.u.c.k.e.d was behind the tree the three were in front of, reducing the chances of the first wolf's disintegration being seen.

And with that.

Succ! Succ! Succ!

'You have obtained 1.5 years of lifespan.'

After absorbing the vitality of those three wolves, although it got harder and harder to do so the less they became, I had now tripled my lifespan when compared to the original lifespan I had when I awakened to the Void Seraphim bloodline. And by the looks of it, I still hadn't reached the limit. Is the limit perhaps 5 years or something? I'll find out eventually once I suck the vitality of more animals in the future.

For now, I'll just head back to the tree I was cultivating in a while ago. I'm quite satisfied with the results of the experiment, and I'm pretty sure they're going to be something I'll use everytime I can.
