"Not walk, run."
Bloodless #1 said nothing else before flashing forward, immediately reaching a speed of over two hundred meters per second.
'Crazy bastard!'
Cain shouted in his mind, but there was nothing he could do other than start running. Two hundred meters was fast, but he was able to keep that speed without too much problem.
Unfortunately for Cain, Bloodless #1's speed just kept increasing, and it was not long before a sonic boom appeared.
"¡Boom!"
Bloodless #1 broke the sound barrier, and his body began to move at supersonic speed.
Cain was fast and strong, but moving at supersonic speed was impossible by only relying on his physical prowess, so he had to rely on Sonic Dash.
Bloodless #1 stopped improving his speed after breaking the barrier of sound, which was good for Cain since he was running at full speed.
If you were to look at the duo from the sky, you would see two figures moving at supersonic speed in a straight light to the northwest.
As for all the trees, rocks, and Wave Beast, too slow to get out of their way, they were shattering to pieces. Bloodless #1 was like a train, breaking everything in his path without losing momentum at all.
None of the branches, dust, and blood that might result from those clashes touched Bloodless #1's body. It was like a force field around him, keeping him immaculate.
Cain caught them and immediately understood what they were. One was a source of immense vitality, and the other could not be anything but a Saint Technique.
Each of them would greatly help Cain, but this one did not use any and stared at Bloodless #1. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world, especially from someone you had never met before, so Cain wanted to know the price of the Saint Technique and the Blood Orb.
Bloodless #1 saw Cain's stoic heart and nodded.
The core emotion that drove humans was greed, and while it allowed us to make great things, it could also lead people to their doom. True cultivators must know how to use it for their benefit and not succumb to it.
"Good, I like your emotion control. The stronger you are, the more useful you will be for the Blood Duke. The Blood Orb can be considered a gift. As for the Saint Technique, use it freely, but you must return it to me once you leave Blood Sea."
Cain nodded after hearing that. Whatever machination the Blood Duke had for him required him to become stronger. That meant he was not a disposable pawn, at least not for the moment.
The first thing that Cain did was send his Ego Wave into the starry gem to see what type of Saint Technique was inside it. A name immediately reached his mind and was one he was very familiar with.
"Blood Refinement Art."
A smile appeared on Cain's face since this was just what he needed. He needed a body refinement technique to help him unlock his body's full potential during the Wave Champion Rank and into Wave King.
Cain had already reached the peak of the second level of the Blood Refinement Art, and the information he got from the skull's A.I. Chip provided a description from the third and four levels, but the starry gem had the whole technique.
"Blood Runes and Blood Core."
Those were the names of the third and four levels of the Blood Refinement Technique.
