The third-floor balcony.
Yu Xian lay on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and enjoying a sunbath.
After carefully considering the pros and cons, he picked up his phone, dialed his homeroom teacher's number, and after a moment, said, "Teacher Chen, it's me, Yu Xian."
Previously, he had applied for a leave of absence, claiming his factory needed his management.
He had originally prepared not to go back to school, but after understanding how powerful the Light Eater talent was, he realized that his student identity was an excellent cover.
Which Vampire runs around in broad daylight?
Even if a Vampire were to suspect him in the future, a brief investigation would rule him out.
After explaining to his homeroom teacher, Yu Xian confirmed that he would be resuming his studies soon, and by next Monday, he would once again be a good student, growing in the spring breeze and bathing in the sunlight.
Thump!
As soon as Yu Xian put down his phone, he suddenly felt his heart beat.
He immediately pressed his hand to his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. Wasn't it supposed to beat only once a year, or if food was abundant... once every six months?
He had only been sunbathing for half a day...
Hiss!
Yu Xian gasped.
Light Eater, it seemed even more formidable than he had imagined.
Because of the abundant sunlight, his efficiency in devouring light was far superior to an ordinary Vampire's blood absorption, so theoretically, his food was much more plentiful. He didn't need six months, let alone a year; he could make his heart beat in just half a day!
Assuming his heart beat twice or once a day, he could acquire a minor talent in five to ten days, and he would definitely gain a major talent within a hundred days.
Even if the Blood Clan Progenitor had lived for several hundred years, Yu Xian estimated that he would definitely be stronger than this Progenitor within ten years at most.
His only task now was to survive, safely and discreetly develop.
...
...
Monday.
Early in the morning, Yu Xian, dressed in his school uniform and carrying his backpack, walked slowly towards Silver City Third High School, bathed in the sunlight.
"Xian Yu, it really is you! Didn't you take a leave of absence?" Halfway there, a slightly chubby young man ran hurriedly to Yu Xian's side, asking excitedly.
He was Yu Xian's meal buddy at school, Zhang Shou.
Yu Xian smiled, "The problem was resolved, so I resumed my studies early."
When he arrived at school, he still had to submit his re-enrollment application, but he had already informed his homeroom teacher, so it was basically just a matter of filling out a form.
The two chatted idly, slowly walking to the school gate.
"Want some steamed buns? My treat." Zhang Shou smelled the aroma of steamed buns wafting from a nearby breakfast shop, immediately swallowed, and asked.
Yu Xian shook his head, "I've already had breakfast. You go ahead and eat."
In fact, after transforming into a Vampire, he currently only had two types of food: one was blood, and the other was light. The former was the Vampire's fixed food, while the latter originated from his talent ability.
Of course, other foods could actually be eaten, but they tasted like chewing wax and were not digested at all.
Vampires themselves were extraordinary creatures. Aside from their unique talent abilities, they possessed many special abilities such as night vision, super sense of smell, and super self-healing.
Moreover, their physical fitness was far superior to ordinary people.
Without using weapons, a Vampire could easily defeat a dozen well-trained special forces soldiers.
Because Yu Xian had only been a Vampire for three short days, his body was still slowly strengthening. For now, he could only handle one or two special forces soldiers; any more and he would probably get beaten.
Just as most Vampires were delicate and handsome.
Yu Xian's appearance would also become increasingly refined, and his physique would grow slender and tall.
This was also one of the reasons why wild Vampires were difficult to hide.
Because their characteristics were too obvious, coupled with only being able to move at night and needing to drink blood to survive, a slight investigation would expose various clues.
If Yu Xian didn't go to school, when his physical characteristics became very obvious, the Blood Clan would definitely come knocking.
But now that he chose to go to school, it was different. After all, the Blood Clan was not the only race with handsome appearances and slender physiques. Those humans who transformed themselves into Elves through the forbidden fruit also had handsome appearances and slender physiques.
Yu Xian's ears weren't pointed, but he could walk in the sunlight.
He thought that the Blood Clan would at most suspect him of being a half-human, half-elf, and would definitely not suspect him of being Blood Clan.
The two entered the school. The classroom for Class 3 of Senior 3 was on the fifth floor of the teaching building. By the time they reached the fifth floor, Zhang Shou was already slightly out of breath. Seeing Yu Xian's calm demeanor, he suspected, "Xian Yu, have you been secretly exercising behind my back?"
"Look over there."
Yu Xian was too lazy to explain and pointed diagonally opposite, changing the subject.
Silver City Third High School was diagonally opposite the Superpower Academy. Although it was said to be opposite, there was actually a street separating them, but from the fifth floor, one could still see the situation on the other side.
The security at Superpower Academy seemed to have increased, with men in suits patrolling all around the walls.
"You mean those bodyguards? I heard that the Blood Clan Princess was attacked a while ago," Zhang Shou said calmly, with a kind of indifference that had nothing to do with him.
Ordinary people and extraordinary individuals who were born with supernatural powers were destined to have an unbridgeable chasm between them.
Although Silver City Third High School and Superpower Academy were only one street apart, their students actually had almost no interaction.
Blood Clan Princess?
Yu Xian looked at Superpower Academy, and his heart couldn't help but stir slightly. Could it be that the blood he was injected with was drawn from her?
In fact, because the two schools were so close, even if the students rarely paid attention to matters at Superpower Academy, some strange knowledge would still inexplicably enter the school.
At least Yu Xian truly didn't know who was spreading this knowledge.
However, thanks to this knowledge, he knew that after becoming an extraordinary creature, reproductive ability would significantly decrease.
Since the Blood Clan Progenitor, most members were transformed from humans through the First Embrace, and the number of Blood Clan born through reproduction was very small.
Superpower Academy had a total of six Blood Clan students, and the highest-ranking among them was the Blood Clan Princess, Nora Rex.
It was rumored that because she was a hybrid born of a Second Generation Vampire and a human, it caused great controversy within the Blood Clan. Some believed that the First Blood principle should be followed, but others believed her bloodline was impure and that she should be cleansed by the Self-Cleaners. In the end, her father, defying all opposition, protected her and sent her to Silver City, far from the Blood Clan's center, to enroll.
Due to her father's very high status in the Blood Clan, she was given the title of Blood Clan Princess in Silver City.
"Oh, by the way, Old Zhang, what is the Blood Clan Princess's talent ability?" Yu Xian asked as they walked.
Zhang Shou thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I forgot. I think I heard some gossip in class say it was very special."
"The Blood Clan Princess's talent? I know, it's Daywalker!" At this moment, the girl walking ahead turned back and interjected, "That's why she was controversial among the Blood Clan, after all, she's the only Blood Clan who can walk in the sunlight."
Zhang Shou gave a thumbs up and quipped, "Chen Ling, when it comes to gossip, I admit you're the best in our class! 【Expression】!"
Daywalker!
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian's heart trembled, becoming even more certain that the blood he was injected with came from Nora.
However, if that was the case, his student cover might not be sufficient. What if the Blood Clan suspected that wild Vampires transformed by injecting Nora's blood were also not afraid of light?
