Night...
The sky was studded with stars, like a Milky Way made of fine grains of sand stretching across the heavens...
In a room at Apollo Dormitory, Wu Yan lay on his bed, staring at the cold ceiling. After a long while, he raised one hand.
Above it, a strange drop of blood floated eerily, bobbing up and down...
Avalon Holy Dragon Emperor's Fledgling Blood: Special Item. A special blood sample extracted from a descendant of the Avalon Holy Dragon Emperor during its childhood. Having been extracted by the system, it possessed miraculous effects. If consumed by a vampire whose foundation was blood, it could strengthen that vampire's abilities. If consumed by a True Ancestor Vampire, it could raise their level by one. (Note: Since its effects only existed because it had been extracted by the system, it would only take effect when consumed by a system user. It was effective only before level 90; once the user reached level 89, consuming it would have no effect.)
This drop of blood was precisely what Wu Yan had just obtained from Eco. It was also the prerequisite for completing his second Instance World mission!
The process of extracting the blood had gone very smoothly, at least far more smoothly than when he had asked the Dragon Mother for blood.
All Wu Yan had needed was a table full of delicious food to send Eco into a state of ecstatic delight. She had agreed almost without hesitation to his request for a drop of blood and allowed him to extract it from her.
As a result, Wu Yan's second Instance World mission had been completed without a hitch...
