The first three levels of the Biometal Herculean Technique were named Bronze Infusion, Silver Integration, and Golden Resilience. Transitioning from Peak Silver Integration to Golden Resilience could take weeks, if not months, even for a prodigy.
However, less than five hours after immersing himself in the cauldron, Cain felt his body tremble as his blood evolved, acquiring the properties of Gold Level Metals.
The reason behind that talent was no longer a mystery for Cain as he knew it was due to the soul force of the Astral Blood Beast nurturing his soul sea.
