The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 65

65 Problems arrived

“I recovered part of an auxiliary technique called Blood Refinement Art. Although I don’t know its full power, you can train it even after surpassing the Wave Champion rank.”

It was common knowledge that the higher the level cap of a technique, the mightier it was. Even if it was just an auxiliary technique, the Blood Refinement Art might be better than the Fiend Devourer Cultivation Technique.

Cain did not lose time and reviewed the information already stored in the [A.I. Chip Module].

[Blood Refinement Art: Auxiliary technique meant to boost the body’s physical capabilities. Useful for Astral Wave Cultivators.

Absorb the enemy’s blood to refine and temper your own body. The stronger the enemy, the more valuable the blood obtained. Four levels in total.

First level: Focus on thoroughly tempering your flesh and muscles. It can increase your chances of achieving a high percentage of marrow washing.

Second Level: Focus on increasing your blood vitality and the generation of blood energy. Your cultivation must have reached the Wave Champion rank to enter this level.]

After that brief description, there was a large file with the essence of the technique.

“Apex, what about the rest of the information?” Cain could not help but ask. According to the description, there were four levels, but in the [A.I. Chip Module], there were only two.

.....

“The information about the third level is somewhat corrupted. I will try to retrieve and fix the missing pieces with the [Basic Data Gathering and Analysis] and [Basic Virtual Simulation]. As for the fourth level, that is completely gone.”

Although Apex’s words disappointed Cain a little, instead of focusing on what he did not have, he focused on what he had.

His body was still tired, so he concentrated on understanding enough to begin practicing the Blood Refinement Art. The amount of information was immense. Just the part about the first level took Cain more than ten hours to comprehend the basics.

After that, Cain stood up, picked the scent of a Wave Beast, and went after it. In less than ten minutes, he had the beast in his line of sight.

Luckily it was alone and just a Level 2 Wave Beast, so Cain dashed at it from its blind spot and punched its neck before triggering Kinetic Blast.

“Crack!”

The sound of bone cracking echoed before the Wave Beast could even know what happened, and the light on its eyes vanished.

Cain did not wait a second before burying his hand in the Wave Beast’s body. He did not try to take out the heart, instead mobilized his Astral Wave according to the information in the Blood Refinement Art.

It did not look long for the Wave Beast’s corpse to tremble as all its blood was refined and sent into Cain’s flesh and muscles. In less than ten minutes, the corpse had lost all its blood.

Cain took his hand off the corpse and could not help but frown. He felt the energy nurturing his flesh and blood all the time, but he also knew that he lost a lot of blood due to his lack of proficiency during the purification.

There were many ways to improve the effectiveness of the Blood Refinement Art, but Cain reached the correct answer immediately.

‘If I improve my comprehension of the Blood Refinement Art, I will lose less blood during the purification, and the greater the effect of the energy would be in my flesh and blood.’

“Well thought, brat. That is the right path. Others would have considered shortcuts like buying blood of stronger beasts, but in the end, that would cripple your training in the Blood Refinement Art.”

Cain heard Apex’s voice in his brain and showed a smile before nodding. Hard work would create a good foundation, which was always better than short-term gains.

Before the Blood Refinement Art, Cain wanted nothing more than to leave the Whisper Forest, but now the Tier 0 Danger Zone was like a paradise for him.

It was not until Sunday that Cain left the Whisper Forest, got on his military truck, and returned to Lightning Imperial Fort.

Once he was back inside the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy, Cain left all the herbs inside the military truck and sent this one on its path.

Since the mission only involved recollecting herbs, there was no need for Cain to deliver them himself. The military truck would go to the deposit, where drones would take care of the menial work.

Cain returned to his residence, bowed to his father’s altar, took a shower, and went to sleep. He only woke up when the rays of sunshine appeared through his window, and the first thing he received was a message from the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy.

[Saint of Killers, you have been awarded 208 Imperial Military Credits for fulfilling the mission D-23] 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

The Imperial Military Credits that Cain obtained from this mission were less than a quarter of what he received from the one he took with Levi. Of course, that made sense since the previous one involved investigation and fighting Wave Cultivators.

Cain did not care about the Imperial Military Credits, as what he obtained from this trip was something money could not buy. The experience of surviving this ordeal was something that would accompany him for the rest of his life.

A large smile was on Cain’s face as he went to the auditorium for the Wave Mastery class. He was one of the last to arrive and sat between Levy and Beelze. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Cain greeted the duo before glancing around the auditorium and seeing how all the cadets were very chatty.

“What is happening?” Cain did not hide his curiosity and asked Levi about all the conversation.

“Oh, have you not heard? There is a rumor that two Level 7 Wave Warriors from the Kilor Family came to the military academy. At first, it did not matter since they could have come for multiple reasons, but now there is no sign of Nira, so maybe things are not so simple after all.”

Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that, and all the bliss he was enjoying faded.
