112 Almost 1 point

Abin stood in front of the capsule that contained Cain with her usual calm expression. Nevertheless, deep inside, she was amazed by what was happening.

Unlike the state of the capsule that contained Levi, the liquid of the one with Cain was in turmoil. Cain’s body was in a state of hyperactivity, with every cell growing stronger by the minute.

Thanks to Embryonic Breathing, Cain could take full advantage of the immense energy contained in the B-Grade Blood Solution, improving his Astral Wave Cultivation in gigantic steps. And things did not end there since he could use the full power of his Ego Wave to revolve the Blood Refinement Art instinctively.

As their name suggests, Blood Solutions were made from the blood of Wave Beasts. A C-Grade Blood Solution contained the blood essence of ten Wave Champion Wave Beasts, so one could only imagine the might of a B-Grade.

The Blood Refinement Art was working at full power, using the incredibly pure blood essence inside the B-Grade Blood Solution to temper Cain’s flesh and blood. It advanced at truly amazing speed, and the only thing slowing it down was Cain’s cultivation.

Abin’s A.I. Chip was connected to the Recovery Capsule, allowing her to monitor Cain’s condition. She was impressed to see the speed at which his cultivation and body improved.

All of Cain’s wounds had healed over the past few weeks, including his left arm, which had regrown even stronger than before.

Usually, while the regeneration of a missing limb was not impossible, it would drain a significant amount of vitality and affect an individual’s cultivation. Nira had suffered from those side effects when she restored her missing arm since she could only use a D-Grade Blood Solution, but Cain did not face that problem.

Not only did the B-Grade Blood Solution grant Cain all the vitality he could need, but his Blood Refinement Art allowed that blood energy to infiltrate into every single cell.

.....

Suddenly, Cain’s eyes began to twitch. His body and cultivation had reached their peak, fully excavating their potential, and it was time for him to wake up.

Abin closely watched as Cain opened his eyes. Unlike Levi, despite being submerged in the thick red liquid, Cain did not lose focus, and his eyes immediately glowed with red light as he focused on the woman staring at his naked body.

Even though Cain and Levi’s starting points were not the same, with the first being conscious when put in the capsule, it was still impressive for him to show that level of focus and calm just after waking up.

The Recovery Capsule began to collect the B-Grade Blood Solution before opening itself, allowing Cain to walk out of it.

Cain’s eyes burst with red light as he stared at the woman without showing any emotion. He had no idea who she was and would not show any weakness in her presence.

Abin saw how Cain raised his guard in front of her. She did not comment on it and handed him a blue robe with a raging ocean engraved on the back before performing a slight bow.

“Young Lord, allow me to introduce myself. I am Abin, Lord Zarak’s assistant and her disciple. He is waiting for us, so please wear the robe and come with me.”

Cain stared at the woman for a moment, and when he felt no animosity from her, the red light vanished from his eyes. The coldness on his face disappeared, being replaced by a calm smile.

He nodded before wearing the rob, and the moment he put it on, it instantly adapted to his body.

“Is this robe a Wave Artifact?”

“Yes, Young Lord. Although it has no special ability, it has great resilience and can provide a second layer of protection beneath your Wave Armor. It also has the Valentine Family’s emblem engraved in the back.”

Cain nodded as he heard Abin’s thorough explanation, but an odd expression appeared on his face.

“Why do you keep calling me Young Lord?” Cain’s background was extremely humble, even more after losing his father and the initial assessment of Wave Talent. He was not used to people treating him like some sort of scion.

“Even though we are both Lord Zarak’s disciples, you are a core disciple, the only one. You are now considered a member of the Valentine Family, with a position just beneath the Patriarch.” Abin spoke with a respectful tone, making it clear the difference between their status.

Cain was surprised to hear that. He knew that becoming Lord Zarak’s core disciple would raise his background, but he did not believe it would be so much.

Although the treatment of a scion made Cain feel weird, there was no way he would deny such a lucky chance.

“Please accompany me. We should not make Lord Zarak wait.”

Cain nodded and walked alongside Abin. Many thoughts appeared in his mind as he analyzed his new status.

The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l.B1n.

“How many people are in the Valentine Family, and who is the best among the young generation?”

Even though it was not his intention, Cain knew that his status in the Valentine Family would displease many. There were bound to be some youngsters that thought he did not deserve his place and made things hard for him.

It was better to know them ahead of time, so he could figure out a way to handle them sooner rather than later.

“There are only two people in the Valentine Family, you and Lord Zarak.”

An awkward smile appeared on Cain’s face when he heard that. He was forming all sorts of plans in his mind, and it turned out there was no enemy.

“How is Levi?” Cain knew that Levi also entered a capsule to heal just like him, so he was not worried that something could have happened to this one.

“Cadet Levi woke up ten days ago. He is currently in the fort.”

Cain nodded before gazing at the ring in his hand. In it, there was a special coffin that held Beelze’s body.

The coffin was a gift from Zarak and would prevent Beelze’s body from deteriorating. That would give Cain the time to contact her family and hand her over.

Just as they were about to reach the teleportation matrix, Cain’s eyes narrowed since the system had finished its analysis of him.

When he saw those stats, a sense of shock and awe assaulted Cain’s mind. He felt he had grown very powerful when he left the capsule but was amazed that it reached such a level.

The Blood Refinement Art had done wonders, vastly improving his strength and body’s endurance. As for the sharp rise in his speed, he took it as a side effect of enhancing his bloodline.

However, the one that truly raised Cain’s attention was his vitality. Increasing a stat to 1 point could be considered a bottleneck that only those that reached Level 4 could surpass.

In the Godslayer Humankind Empire, when your stats are no longer measured in decimal numbers, you are considered to have risen beyond a mere mortal and become a Godslayer Human.

‘I am not even at the limit of Level 3 yet. I should be able to achieve 1 point before entering Level 4, improving my foundation.’

“Is everything fine, Young Lord?”

Abin’s voice woke Cain from his hindsight. He had been so engrossed in his analysis that he almost forgot he was not alone and stopped walking without saying a word. In all fairness, the changes on him over the last few months, especially after using the capsule with the B-Grade Blood Solution, had been outstanding.

“Yes, I got distracted. There is nothing to worry about. Let’s go.”

Abin did not continue questioning Cain’s behavior and only nodded before the duo reached the teleportation matrix and vanished.

As soon as the duo appeared in the room, a blue force flooded it. It was truly mighty, converging at full strength on Cain’s location.

The last time Cain faced Zarak’s Ego Wave, he almost passed out as the pain was too great. Yet, now that he reached the First Realm in the Ego Eternal Path of Power, he could stand straight and take it head-on.

Of course, Zarak was not using the raw strength of his Ego Wave, as that had the power to crush a Wave Champion to a pulp without a problem. He was just testing Cain’s mental defenses.

After a moment, the blue force vanished, and laughter echoed through the room.

“Hahaha, good, very good. To think you could enter Mind Over Body at fourteen while being a Level 2 Wave Warrior. You are a true genius, brat.” Zarak laughed again, and there was clear excitement on his face.
