Ryu pricked his finger, causing a long stream of blood to flow out. His recovery was so fast that even after the thick mass of ruby liquid was double the size of his head, he showed no signs of going pale.
All this time, Ryu had been practicing with his normal blood, not his Blood Essence. If he had been using the latter, he would have likely already died by now. Blood Essence was too precious for such a thing. And, theoretically, he should be able to have the same effect as Blood Essence with his normal blood so long as he matched quality with quantity instead.
Ryu's gaze flickered as he calmly watched the mass increase, stopping when it was about half the size of his body, his face still ruddy and fresh.
If this worked, it would be game changing.
Ryu had only ever used his Dao on others and on external comprehension. But if it worked on himself, it could change things greatly.
