As the world began to slow down for most immortal cultivators, they felt hopeful to see the next clash between Yoze and Geo. While the crowd of immortal cultivators was getting excited about the battle, Yoze looked down at his hands and saw that it was empty.
"This is going to be a problem." A deep frown appeared on Yoze's face as he recalled his single clash with Geo.
With both of their insane speeds, they both charged at each other to end the match quickly and see what the other person could do. During the charge, Yoze manipulated his blood to transform into a dual edge long sword and aimed straight for Geo's neck.
As the sword rapidly approached him, Geo's mouth curled up into a smile as he simply raised one of his arm guards to punch Yoze's blood sword with his spikes. At the same time, Geo's other arm threw a heavy punch at Yoze's head, hoping to punch in some holes.
Even though Yoze saw that Geo's attack was heading straight for him, he didn't back down and followed through with his sword strike. He wasn't going to back down from their first clash, and on the plus side, he wanted to see if Geo's arm guards could absorb his attack.
"Slurp"
The moment the spikes on Geo's arm guard slammed into the blade of Yoze's blood sword, a soft slurping sound erupted from the arm guard. It swiftly absorbed the Blood Sword in its entirety just as it was about to cut into his neck.
At the same time, Geo's other arm guard was just millimeters away from turning Yoze's face into Swiss cheese before Yoze used his flexibility to bend his head backward, barely dodging the attack. Seeing that both of the attacks were duds, Yoze and Geo tossed a glance at each before stopping at each other's former locations to rethink their strategy.
"Those spiked arm guards can absorb all my attacks with the slightest touch. What would happen if it touched my Blood Armor? Or managed to scratch me?" Realizing that he could afford to even be scratched by Geo's arm guards, Yoze thought about whether he should try some long ranger attacks.
"No, that won't work. To be able to keep up with this speed means that he is fast enough to dodge my ranged attacks."
"What I need to do is similarly overwhelm him as Lebra, and since he isn't wearing a full suit of armor once overwhelmed, my attacks land directly on his physical body. All I need is to hit him once, and then he should surrender in fear of accidentally getting killed."
As Yoze's mind thought of countermeasures for the special armor capable of absorbing anything, his opponent was doing the same. Instead of wondering how he could end this match as soon as possible, he was secretly drooling at the body cultivation methods Yoze had displayed.
"That insane flexibility came from a body cultivation method that is different from the body cultivation method he used to create his blood armor! Yoze has two body cultivation methods; no, he must have more, or else he wouldn't be as strong." An exciting grin appeared on Geo's face as he recounted their brief clash.
"Being able to train in three or more body cultivation methods at his age shows that his talent for martial arts is godly. It makes sense why he doesn't want to give up on martial arts yet when he has a real possibility of breaking through the limit."
"But so far, his martial art techniques seem quite lacking. Hopefully, he will make it up later. It would be disappointing if I learned that as someone who reached the Blood Master realm, my rival is trash at fighting a real battle."
With his expectations for Yoze raised to another level, Geo stopped smiling as he was ready to take it up a notch. Without saying a word to Yoze, he controlled the blood in his body to escape his pores and wrap them around his legs and arms.
When his blood surrounded his limbs, they instantly transformed into a bestial shape. Taking a similar appearance to the limbs of a WereWolf, showing that this was the power he gained from his Blood Master realm.
After activating his Blood transformation, Geo smiled as he remembered the time he first became a Blood Master fondly. At that time, he didn't know the level of destruction that he was capable of and ended up destroying his house.
At the time, he was both pissed and excited, so he saw a local bandit group nearby and slaughtered them all to steal their treasures. To this day, he couldn't remember any of the details except the wonderful feeling of beating enemies that he struggled with so easily.
"Come, brother Yoze, let's make these immortal cultivators struggle to keep up even with their Eye of Insight activated." With his battle spirit raised to the sky, Geo slammed his bloody werewolf feet on the ground and flew straight to Yoze.
Seeing Geo running towards him ten times faster than before, Yoze licked his lips as he knew he needed to finally use his martial art techniques. Yoze activated Centipede Steps without hesitation and instantly seemed like he grew 14 more legs, beginning the total to 16.
Each of the legs was slightly blurry, showing to all the immortal cultivators that he didn't actually grow an abnormal amount of legs and simply was moving that fast. Still, with Centipede Step being at its peak, Yoze waited until Geo got close before sliding backwaters to gain some distance and shifting to the right to get to his side.
That swift change in direction was extremely quick, and it seemed as if he was a puppet being controlled by an invisible hand. Confident in his abilities, Yoze had already thrown a heavy Bear Fist straight at Geo before he even fully completed the action.
Just as his Bear Fist was about to crash into Geo's chest and crush his bones, Yoze suddenly felt Mindless Legs override his command over his body and swiftly moved him out of the way. Knowing that for Mindless Legs to react like that, he must have been in serious danger, Yoze didn't resist and allowed himself to slither away.
