My Vampire System novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Upgrading the shadow

Once the system had confirmed to Quinn that he had learned Phantom Punch, everything got a lot easier from then onwards. Instead of concentrating on the feeling like he did before, now all he had to do was think about the skill, and his mind would automatically do the work for him.

It was one of the other perks of having the system. No longer would he fail sometimes when trying to create the punch, it would now work a hundred percent of the time. this was the same as when he learnt the crescent blood kick as well.

This didn’t mean it would work successfully on his opponent a hundred percent of the time though. It was just that he was now able to perform the skill successfully every time.

In the next matches Quinn played, while using the skill he had learnt quite a bit about how the skill worked. Just like the system had said, there were some opponents the skill was less effective against, Quinn couldn’t figure out why as it didn;t seem to be linked with the user’s ability level. Most likely it was more to do with their mental ability.

For some of the opponents he faced, It seemed like they were only partly tricked. On their end, they would see the phantom punch, but it would disappear before it would make contact.

While for those with weaker minds, it felt like they could actually feel the phantom punch hitting them. Still, even a slight phantom image gave Quinn a huge advantage. The constant use of the punches, on top of his speed, made his opponents feel like they were fighting against someone with extra hands.

He now understood why the blonde man had said the skill would improve as he improved both his agility stat, along with his charm stat.

After defeating the five opponents, Quinn had obtained ten experience points from each of them. It wasn’t his goal, but a bonus along the way of learning the new skill. He also continued to get the ten points for completing his daily quests, drinking the two litres of water daily along with avoiding the sun for eight hours. But still, out of everything so far, the quickest way to level up was defeating Beasts.

Quinn would definitely need to use this to his advantage when fighting on the other planet. There was also the chance for him to level up even quicker since the system had stated that when fighting along with Peter, he would gain the experience of Peter’s kills as well.

With the hours of practice and the many matches Quinn had played, he didn’t realise the time and the VR pod machines had been shut off. They usually turned off an hour before the curfew time and the disconnection of him form the game was a clear sign.

As Quinn headed back to his room, and with one day remaining before the portal outing, he started to think what would be the next best step on trying to get stronger.

In his mind, Quinn split up his skills into four different categories. He had his blood abilities, such as Blood Swipe, Blood Spray, Blood Bank and so on. These skills could be upgraded by using them multiple times.

He then had his charm skills. Daze, Influence, and now, Phantom Punch.

The next section he counted was his fighting skills, such as Flash Step, Hammer Strike, as well as Blood Hammer and Phantom Punch. Although the last two skills where a combination of the other sections.

Finally though, were his ability skills. The shadow skills. After looking at all his different skills, Quinn decided to focus on the shadow skills. There were currently still four shadow skills greyed out in the system that required him to use skill points to unlock.

The only way Quinn knew of to get skill points, was to upgrade the level of his current shadow skills. To do this, it worked the same way as his blood skills. The more he used them, eventually, it would level up.

This was the best option for Quinn while in the game.

The next day had arrived, and as the group agreed, everyone was currently doing their own thing. Everyone was kind of pleased that they had decided to do this. At first, Quinn was a little bit worried about Peter.

But when he asked what Peter was planning to do, Peter was already heading off to Logan’s room with a bunch of sandwiches held in his arms. It seemed like the two were getting on well enough that Quinn no longer needed to use his blood.
