Chapter 742: Chapter 380: Mu You’s Blood Clan Talent_3

Over the past year, many vampires in the Dark City have been left in a state of ’blood starvation’ for a long time. Their combat power is weak, and they have been no match for werewolves in several battles during the nights without light, resulting in a massive decrease in the clan’s population.

"Can’t recover from the wounds inflicted by a werewolf’s bite?"

Mu You was taken aback. He’d also fought a werewolf before, and at that time the werewolves didn’t have any method to suppress vampires. It seemed that the so-called ’Poisonous Fangs’ were a unique ability of the Dark City’s werewolves.

’Uncle’ Jonas expresses regret to you and May: "I am useless, I was bitten by a werewolf a while ago and lost my hunting ability, causing all the hunting burden to fall on May."

"But now that Liston is back, things will be better. You are the pillar of this family. The only fresh blood should be for you to drink. Only then you will have the energy to hunt", ’Aunt’ Elsa reassures you with a smile.

May also urges you to drink the fresh blood quickly. You choose.....

Drink the fresh blood. As the family nobility, it is your right to have the best.

Share the burden. Split the fresh blood among everyone.

Borrow the Fool’s convenience and bring in better fresh blood so that everyone can have their fill.

Among the three choices, Mu You picked the second one without hesitation.

He was joking, where was he supposed to find blood in the middle of the night?

But just like the option suggested, with the convenience of the Fool, feeding a few vampires was not a problem.

The reason the werewolves have a monopoly on the Dark City’s blood market is mainly because the vampires are insular and don’t have other channels to purchase blood. On Earth, with its billions of people, if they could make connections with other players, why would they worry about blood shortage?

You disregard others’ objections, split the blood in the cup among your family members, and promise that from now on, your household will not lack fresh blood, and no one will go hungry anymore.

The children taste fresh blood as they wished, and hearing your promise, they all cheer, and look at you with admiration.

These younger generations have only heard the legends of the family’s ’Count of the Night’, but have never experienced the reality. Now, as soon as you came back, you solved the family’s food problem, immediately arousing their heartfelt reverence and trust towards you.

Just as the family banquet was in full swing, you suddenly heard a shrill bat cry from outside the door.

A red-eyed bat landed on the outside of the window sill, put down the letter it was clutching in its claws, and flew away.

Jonas walked over to retrieve the letter and opened it to read.

"It’s a message from the Duke of the Vampire Clan, notifying us that there will be a Clan Meeting tonight at seven o’clock. The meeting place is the ’Abandoned Dark Church’. Each family should send two people. The meeting will discuss two issues: 1. Future planning for the Blood Clan. 2. Distribution of the ’Ancestor’s Blood’."

After Jonas reviewed the content of the letter, he turned to you and May and said: "This time, you two siblings should go to the Clan Meeting. With Liston there, I can be at ease."

Mu You saw the two topics mentioned in the text and clicked on ’Ancestor’s Blood’ to try out.

Ancestor’s Blood: After the death of the Blood Clan’s Ancestor over two thousand years ago, the body was preserved. Afterwards, every hundred years, a drop of Ancestor’s Blood would be produced. The Blood Clan who received the Ancestor’s Blood would have the chance to be promoted to a higher nobility level. The higher the rank, the more Ancestor’s Blood is required for promotion.

So this so-called Clan Meeting is an opportunity for the Blood Clan to get promoted in nobility?

Mu You then took a look at the explanation for ’Nobility’.

"Nobility: There are five levels of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Higher nobles have a suppressing effect on lower nobles during fighting (within the Blood Clan only).

The nobility level can be promoted in two ways: 1. Consuming Ancestor’s Blood. 2. Higher-ranked nobles can share a drop of Heart Vessel Blood with other Blood Clan members of the same family who are at least two ranks lower to promote them one rank higher. A maximum of three drops of Heart Vessel Blood can be shared each time.

After the promotion of nobility within the Blood Clan, attributes are not enhanced, but the existing family talent will be upgraded and a new family talent can be randomly enlightened."

The ’Nobility’ here doesn’t seem to be completely linked with real power, it’s more of a symbol of status in the Blood Clan.

The biggest real benefit of the promotion of nobility probably is acquiring the new ’Family Talent’. This ’Family Talent’ is where the real power of the Vampire Clan lies!

Family Talent: The Blood Clan is divided into 13 clans, each clan has three specific talented abilities. The clans intermarry to form families, and the talents of the clans will be passed down to the future generations of the family, becoming Family Talents.

The Ryan Family was formed by intermarriage between three clans, and there are nine potential Family Talents: Godspeed, Super Perception, Charm, Talent Absorption, Titan Slayer, Super Strength, Deflection, Mistify, Iron Block.

That is to say, the Ryan family tree has nine kinds of talents, among which ’Talent Absorption’ and ’Titan Slayer’, Mu You already had.

For the remaining seven types, Mu You checked their descriptions one by one. Many were quite literal in their meaning.

Like Super Perception, it is ’Super Sensory Perception’, which can provide far superior danger perception abilities than an ordinary person when activated. It also has a certain ’X-ray vision’ effect, so you can clearly sense people and events behind obstacles.

Others, like Mistify, allow one to escape by turning into fog when attacked. Iron Block makes your body as hard as iron, impervious to swords and guns, etc.

Among the seven abilities, the ones that interest Mu You the most were ’Godspeed’ and ’Deflection’.

Godspeed allows a vampire to dash into the battlefield at extraordinary speed at the start of the battle, which lasts up to five seconds and automatically deactivates after the first attack.

This ability only lasts five seconds and deactivates after the battle starts, seeming somewhat useless.

However, the reason Mu You took an interest in it was because this ability could be combined with the ability to return back in time, allowing him to do more things during the time return period.

The other ’Deflection’ reads: "Allows the vampire to deflect an attack that you see and understand, has a 10-seconds cooldown".

Simply put, it allows the vampire to deflect any attack coming from the front with their mind, thus effectively nullifying the attack. It is essentially invulnerability every ten seconds.

After reading about his Family Talents, Mu You suddenly developed great interest in the Clan Meeting. With the pocket watch on hand, the random talent that can be acquired during the promotion is actually fixed for him. This is an opportunity to upgrade his vampire skin accurately!
