But for Vaan, it was still far from damaging his skin. In fact, his skin absorbed the heat instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing the Earth Spirit Body with high defense, Vaan's body was just like every other piece of metal; they were good heat conductors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, the blood in the tub was hardly enough for him to soak in it. At most, it was just enough for a light dipping. As such, he continuously scooped the boiling blood and poured them over his body like he was washing, except in blood instead of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan made sure all the boiling blood touched every surface of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The temperature is still a bit low,' Vaan thought before he increased the kinetic energy in the boiling blood and silver tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instance, he felt his body absorbing even more heat—to the point that it started to feel very hot, even for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was like a piece of iron being smelted in a furnace. In a way, he was tempering his body while trying to stimulate the awakening of his Immortal Lycan Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan's eyes brightened for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his body could withstand the tempering of fire, he could increase his defense attributes even further. At the same time, a good flame could purify the impurities from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, as he raised the temperature with Kinetic Energy Manipulation, the boiling blood gradually became a hot sticky substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it turned into such a state, he plastered it all over his skin, completely covering his body. Over time, the sticky blood substance solidified, enclosing him like a blood cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the blood within his own body was agitated by the inferior wolf bloodlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba-dump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan's heart started pounding harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same heart that was punctured and reformed by the Immortal Lycan Blood hidden inside the Etherstone along with the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that most of the Immortal Lycan Blood he inherited were gathered in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba-dump! Ba-dump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan's heartbeat increased, pumping blood through his body faster and faster.

Ba-dump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was beating so fast that he felt like it would burst apart; it felt uncomfortable and painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he felt a violent urge to destroy things. Over time, the feeling only grew stronger, as if a destructive power was growing inside his body and was dying to be unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan tried to contain it with gritted teeth as the surface of his skin turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins protruded on the surface of his skin, and his muscle masses seemingly bulged, causing several increasing cracks to appear on the blood cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the destructive feeling in his heart burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rarghhh!\" Vaan roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shot to his feet in the same instance, causing the blood cocoon burst into numerous flying fragments that smashed against the walls of the pocket space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Kyuu!'
