Despite that failure of an attack, Liam kept his smile, just less wider than before.
Over the course of two weeks of working himself down to the bone, he was confident enough in tweaking the vampiric writings of Niveh's Blood Arts.
Before that, he made absolutely sure to heavily practice the same Meanings on his own, just to gain a steady hand.
To start with, he isolated the writings that were specific only to vampires.
The art worked just fine for him without those parts.
Making a few minor adjustments on the Links, Liam finally managed to attune the technique to his body.
'The only problem is how weak it became. To make it stronger, I'll have to add my own Meanings.'
'Only when I fully master the String Arts, I'll move on to the Blooder's.'
Before Liam could throw himself back into his studies and cultivation, his Jade began blinking.
'Ah, is one month already over?'
