Shura would not be the only one using the geysers since Astral Cultivators could also use them to improve the state of their bodies, and that was not all. Other than a purification force, the water in the Ice Crown had healing powers, which all the Blood Champions could use now after many battles against King Beasts. Of course, Shura would not be washing herself with the other men, and she planned to pick one of the far-away geysers to use, but before that, she glanced at Cain. Shura would not lower her guard just because they had finally reached their destination. There was no way to say what kind of beast or danger could be found in this place, and the young man who guided their path to this place was the best to find out about them. Cain noticed Shura's gaze, and his eyes glowed as a red force field emerged from his mind, covering the geysers and everything in a one-thousand-meter radius around them. The red force field managed to pierce beneath the ground and into the sky, showing Cain that there were no more threats. It seemed that neither King Beasts nor assassins were hiding in this place. "It is safe." Shura nodded and then headed to a geyser before waving her hand, taking out a treasure in the form of a crystal dome that covered the area around her. She could see outside, but no one could see inside. It was best if she was naked when using the water, which was why the Blood Duke had already given her a treasure that she could use to keep her privacy. Surin and the rest of the Bood Champions could not help but glance at the crystal dome, but they did not dare to keep their eyes for long in it. The next second they deactivated their Wave Artifacts and moved toward the geyser. All the Blood Champions were covered in bruises, with some having cracked bones since the battles with the King Beasts had been dangerous. The group noticed Cain moving to one of the geysers, and some sneered since he had not participated in any of the battles and did not need to heal like them. Yet, the moment Cain took out his clothes, the eyes of the Blood Champions widened, and there was a sense of shock and awe on their faces. The bruises on Cain's body made the ones on the Blood Champions seem like paper cuts, and they were far from the most severe injuries. There were deep cuts on his back and chest, some near the spine and others next to the heart. Cain's recovery speed enhanced exponentially after using the [Gluttony Module] to devour the life and vitality of the boiling waters, allowing him to heal from his severe wounds in just two days. Not wanting to waste time, Cain focused on Blood Hand. He could already transform both hands, including the wrists, into blood gems but had yet to complete the third level. Blood Fists, the third level of Blood Hand, focuses on pushing the molecular transformation of your hands to the next level. At that point, your hands would be no weaker than Silver Wave Artifacts, and there would no longer be a need to send Blood Energy to trigger a transformation. Cain managed to train the third level as a Wave Warrior thanks to achieving Flawless Marrow, but reaching the peak would be very hard. As for the fourth level, he was confident in his abilities, but trying to enter it before becoming a Wave Champion would be a dream. Five days passed until the crystal dome finally vanished, and Shura appeared. Her skin was sparkling, making her look even more beautiful than before. Surin and the Blood Champions put on their clothes as they emerged from the geyser, and all stared at Shura with dumbfounded expressions. Cain also left the geyser when he saw Shura, but he could keep his composure, unlike the others. It was not that he did not find the woman extremely beautiful, because he did, but his willpower allowed him to maintain control of his emotions much better than the rest. Shura frowned as she did not like people keeping their eyes on her for too long, and the Blood Champions were wise enough to look away the next second. She then stared at Cain, and a small smile appeared on her face as she saw the calm in this one. "Let's move." Cain glanced at the Blood Champions after hearing Shura's words, and seeing that they were all ready, he turned to the exit of the geysers. He sent his Ego Wave into the path they took to this place before moving at supersonic speed. Shura and the Blood Champions move behind him, keeping the woman in the center, advancing at supersonic speed as well. It took them a week to reach the geysers, but the path they took should be free of threats since no Wave Beasts should have migrated to the domain of the dead ones. That allowed them to move at supersonic speed, something they could not do before since it would have drawn too much attention. Cain, Shura, and the Blood Champions manage to reach the bottom of the frozen mountain range in less than an hour, marking the end of the first of the Four Trials or Purity. Shura took a small bell from her space ring, and shortly after waving it, the dragon-like Wave Champion Beast appeared in the distance.
