The wise and reserved Hecaosi

As Hecaosi unfolded his palm, he shockingly produced a spittle of dark red blood; a blood color that shocks the eye and astonishes the heart.

A spittle of blood that Hecaosi violently coughed out!

Sheyan pondered pensively as he witnessed this sight.

Because prior to this, Hecaosi seemingly hadn’t made a single move, merely confining himself to spectating by the side. Even when he did, he only delivered long-range assaults. Without even being harmed in close combat, why was he heavily wounded to the point of coughing blood?

Yet upon closer inspection of his blood, one could tell it was exceedingly peculiar. Instead of flowing away, the blood coagulated into water beads of metallic glossiness, resembling that of the liquid secreted by the ‘Stairway of the Sun’.

"This is truly strange, could it be….." Sheyan muttered to himself in disbelieve. "He is hiddenly powerful?"
