The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Bloodflow Fury Chapter 257: Bloodflow Fury Just like when Cain sent his Ego Wave into the starry gem that held Blood Hand, an illusion appeared in his mind, and he saw a man standing on top of an ocean full of blood.

What surprised Cain was the fact that the man was Bloodless #1.

It seemed that the powerhouse was the one that engraved the technique into the starry gem.

For a moment, Cain wondered if he engraved his understanding of a Saint Technique in the future, whether people would see a picture of him going over the technique.

Those thoughts did not last for long as soon his focus returned to Bloodless #1 as this one went over the Blood Refinement Art.

Bloodless #1 started from the beginning, devouring the blood beneath his feet and using it to nurture his flesh.

Then came the formation of Blood Energy.  Those were the first and second levels of the Blood Refinement Art, something Cain knew very well, but the next part was completely new for him.

Once the Blood Energy in the body reached its peak and you could not hold any more of it inside, it was time to create Blood Runes.

A Blood Rune was the crystallization of Blood Energy, each very small but capable of holding massive amounts of energy.

Creating a single rune meant the evolution to the third level of the Blood Refinement Art.

The process of creating each Blood Rune was extremely complicated, but Cain could gain a basic understanding and tap into the experiences that Bloodless #1 engraved in the starry gem.

As you advance to the third level, the amount of Blood Runes inside your body will increase.

The final number was determined by your constitution, with those with a strong physique able to hold much more than others.

In the end, the number of Blood Runes inside your body will reach its apex, and at that point will come the fourth level, the creation of the Blood Core.

If generating a Blood Rune was complicated, the birth of a Blood Core was nearly impossible to decipher.

Cain’s cognitive abilities were superb thanks to his soul force and Ego Wave, but even he had difficulty figuring out how to evolve from the third level to the fourth.

Seeing the wonders that the body could achieve was beyond amazing for Cain.

The Essence Evolution Path of Power deciphered the mysteries of the world and nature, tapping into the power of the Laws.

Yet, the way the Astral Rebirth Path of Power analyzed and modified the body was not any less wonderful and intricate.  Cain’s eyes regained focus shortly after the illusion showed every part of the third and fourth levels of the Blood Refinement Art in detail.

He stared at Bloodless #1 before bowing, expressing his appreciation.

After that, Cain did not lose time and used the Blood Orb to increase the amount of Blood Energy inside his body.

His constitution had already reached the Wave Champion level a long time ago, allowing him to attain the peak of the second level of the Blood Refinement Art.

It was still a little too soon to evolve into the third level since Cain’s body could still hold more Blood Energy, but he could practice the creation of Blood Runes.

That way, as soon as his current capacity for Blood Energy reached its limit, he could instantly advance to the third level.

Bloodless #1 focused on Cain, and his eyes grew sharp.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the body domain of the young man, and he was immediately satisfied when he saw the superb blood control of this one.

Cain was able to divide his mind into two tasks.

One was improving his cultivation, and the other was his mastery over the Blood Refinement Art.

After four hours, Cain halted his cultivation as he saw Bloodless #1 turning to the northwest, and he understood that they needed to continue their journey.  The duo returned to continue their run, moving at supersonic speed.

Bloodless #1 was in the lead, shattering everything in his path, while Cain followed him silently.

Four and a half hours of running later, Bloodless #1 stopped since the young man behind him could no longer carry on.  Cain’s breathing was rough, but he kept a composed expression on his face as he adopted a meditative stance on the ground and renewed his cultivation.  After another four hours, Cain stood up since he noticed that Bloodless #1 was doing the same, but to his surprise, instead of immediately flashing forward, this one adopted a battle stance.  Bloodless #1 raised his arms, protecting his face, while tucking his elbows in and putting one foot in front of the other while slightly bending the knee.  Cain recognized that stance as one prevalent among the fighters of the Old World’s Muay Thai, a martial art known for its brutality as it focused on breaking bones and doing lethal damage to the opponent.

“This is the battle style most of the Bloodless Force practice and goes by the name of Bloodflow Fury.

As you can deduce, it draws inspiration from Muay Thai, but the true key behind its power is a profound understanding of the body’s blood flow.  Through manipulating blood circulation, we can enhance our skills to an impressive level and unleash devastating strikes.  During ventricular ejection, meaning the moment your heart ejects the blood inside it to the rest of your body, you extend your extremity to carry on with the attack.

And during ventricular filling, the moment your heart fills with blood, you retract your extremity and prepare for a new attack.

This style allows you not only to express an immense power with each attack but also to save your energy, diminishing the speed at which your stamina depletes.” Bloodless #1 spoke with a profound voice, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, making it clear how important this technique was and how much effort he put into perfecting it.  Cain noticed the importance of the lesson, and he made sure to erase everything else from his mind other than Bloodless #1.  “There are two fundamental components of Bloodflow Fury, and the first one is Blood Activation.

Its essence is the stimulation of blood circulation, increasing your heart rate and improving your strength and speed.

However, you must go even further to unlock the full power of the technique.

You must control your blood flow to the point your ventricular ejection and ventricular filling are no longer automatic processes and are under your command.

From what I have learned from my brother’s reports, you already have a skill that allows you to increase your blood flow.

And since you are at Body Over Mind, the only thing you need to control your ventricular filling and ejection is practice.” Bloodless #1 stopped speaking, and his eyes grew sharp as he began to unleash a barrage of attacks that combined punches, kicks, along with elbow and knee strikes.

Cain’s pupils dilated as he focused on Bloodless #1.

Every attack was followed by another with even greater strength, leaving no openings.

Bloodless #1 heart rate increased along with the speed of his and strength of his strikes.

The attacks were growing so profound and fast that Cain could only see a blur and was not able to decipher the power behind them.  The way Bloodless #1 deployed those kicks and punches was amazing and so complex that not even supercomputers of the Old World could analyze them.

After demonstrating just how complex Bloodflow Fury could become, Bloodless #1 slowed the speed of his attacks until they stopped.

“The second fundamental component of Bloodflow Fury is Vital Pressure Point.

It refers to our ability to land precise strikes to the vital pressure point along with the body’s meridians, exploiting the interconnectedness of blood flow and energy pathways.

By targeting these points, we disrupt our enemies’ blood flow, temporarily weakening them or inducing temporary paralysis.

It allows for efficient and precise strikes that maximize the effectiveness of our attacks.

There are four basic strikes on Bloodflwo Fury: Flowing Fist, Crimson Knee and Elbows, Tempest Kick, and Vessel Strike.” Bloodless #1 extended his arm forward and relaxed his shoulders before unleashing punches that moved like lighting and shadows, fast and unpredictable, in patterns that left no opening and could break any defense.

“Flowing First.

You must channel your blood flow into your fists, enhancing the impact and speed of their punches.” After that, Bloodless #1 retracted his arms and moved his right leg forward and his left leg back.

Right after adopting that position, he unleashed a barrage of kicks with overwhelming strength that could extend way further than the fists.  “Tempest Kick.

You channel your blood flow into their legs to deliver powerful kicks capable of devastating impact.

They have a lesser speed than Flowing Fist but greater strength and range.” Cain’s made sure to engrave every moment and word that came from Bloodless #1 since what he was learning was superb.
