Abraham sat cross-legged in the lotus position, his eyes closed, and his hands resting on her knees. He took a deep breath in, feeling the cool air fill his lungs, and then exhaled slowly, feeling the tension leaving his body.

As he sat there, he could hear the sound of other people snoring around him. The sound came from the rooms of Albus and Quinn. Such an extensive workout has pushed their bodies' limits.

Due to Abraham's very good hearing, the snore was loud and clear.

He continued to focus on his breathing, letting his thoughts drift away as he emptied his mind. The snoring sounds around him became a sort of background noise, like the gentle hum of a fan.

In such a state of tranquility, it was finally time for Abraham to examine himself.

Dragon's eyes.

As soon as Abraham activated the dragon's eyes, his vision changed.

The room around him had transformed. Instead of the familiar walls and furniture, he saw everything as a wireframe. He could see the layout of the room, the positioning of each object, and even the texture of the surfaces.

Without any further ado, Abraham switched to the bird's eye view, and suddenly he was looking down at himself from above. But unlike the other time, there were no headaches happening.

"Hmm, that was expected." Just looking at his own aura, Abraham knew that the latest evolution has brought a change.

A vampire had a purple aura while a beast had a red one. So now Abraham was part vampire and part dragon. Looking at himself, saw a mixture of both. A more dense purple with a much more red aura. The reddish-purple color was like a dark magenta.

At that moment, Abraham wasn't using any Qi, so the dark magenta was enveloping him, only taking the form of his silhouette. As Abraham activated his Qi, his dark magenta aura expanded tremendously, encompassing his entire body and radiating outwards in waves. The aura became more vibrant, with hues of deep red and violet swirling within it. The entire room was filled with his aura.

"So, it seems that when the system used all the crystals during my evolution, my Qi energy has all increase by a huge amount." Abraham has already mastered the 5 stages of Qi. On top of that, he also could use the Qi drain skill on touching a living being.

But there was one thing that Abraham did not use completely. That was the 4th stage. The Qi soul weapon. Till now, Abraham had just used it to access the feeling of contacting the soul and getting inside the soul room. Maybe one day if the situation required it, he will activate his Qi soul weapon.

From the canon story, Abraham knew only of the 5 stages of Qi and was not sure if there was perhaps more level or levels above. At the very least, there was still something that Abraham did not master about Qi, and that was the other type of Qi drain. One that could drain Qi from an attack made by other Qi users.

With the Qi topics so much in his mind, Abraham moved on to his next inspection. All the energy inside his body.

The Qi and blood energy had played a great role in killing the three spike dalki previously. As Abraham continued to practice his blood control, his blood attack power continued to increase. With the combination of the Qi, his blood swipe was extremely powerful. A three-spike dalki was a very difficult creature to kill, for example even with Gwen being a Draugr and having the same strength as the past Abraham, she would not be able to kill a level three dalki with a single attack.

While still in the wireframe vision, Abraham focused more on his body. The Qi and blood energy inside him were still in harmony; balancing each other. Of course, after the transformation into a vampire noble, the blood was much more in capacity and density.

But in all these, there was something different. A very huge difference.

Normally, when concentrating on moving the Qi and blood energy, Abraham would perceive it as a dark environment with the green(Qi) and red(blood) moving around. Yet this time, the two energies were like inside a brownish-red environment. There was only one explanation for that change.

His new dragon form.

After moving up in his dragon's transformation, Abraham thought that maybe there would be a third energy inside him just like the Qi and blood. But from what he was seeing the dragon's red aura was different.

Unlike the Qi and blood energy, where he could perform an attack like the Qi swipe or blood swipe, Abraham could not do so after testing it out. He tried to form a ball of energy on his hand from the dragon's aura, but it proved impossible.

So, Abraham had to take a different approach. He remembered that when talking to Ablus, he involuntarily activated something which caused Albus to struggle.

Trying to emulate the same feeling, Abraham saw the dragon's energy start to move erratically until Abraham was successful in activating the dragon's bloodline. Such a feat would allow Abraham to put a weaker user in a state of fear. Abraham continued to experiment with the dragon's aura and saw if it was possible to add it to the Qi or blood attack.

Just like before, it seemed that it was impossible. Apart from the effect of the dragon aura, Abraham concluded that the dragon's transformation was more on his physical side.

Abraham decided to give a final test to his energy. He needed to know how much he could do with his blood control. The stat was still not available on the system.

Putting his hands together, Abraham started to gather his red aura, then pulling his hands apart, Abraham had created what looked like a rainbow in the air from his aura. It had a lingering effect as it stayed in place.

After that, Abraham started to fire off small amounts of aura from his fingertips trying to imitate small fireworks made of aura aura as the energy disappeared. It looked fascinating, and magical, at the same time.

"Arrgh, what kind of a monster are you? Your level of control has overtaken all the vampire leaders to my knowledge. But don't become overconfident, compared to the king, you are still very far." Throughout the whole time, the Ai was observing silently, but when it came to blood control, he could not hold his silence any longer.

Now that Abraham had tested all the energies, there were only two things left. The new mana stats and his soul room.
