All the secret techniques fit together like gears, unified into the offensive and defensive means of the first King. They are known as the Seventy-Seven Secrets.
However, even with the Seventy-Seven Secrets, they couldn't provide an advantage against the current opponent. At most, they offered a richer arsenal of defensive tactics that allowed one to withstand greater pressure and flee further in a tangle.
Under the moonlight, the first King stood at the edge of a pit. Two blood holes appeared on his shoulders and chest, emitting blood qi like red fog evaporating into the air. Moreover, his heavily wounded body began to heal rapidly, with his hands, where bone and flesh had separated, bubbling with steam as new flesh grew.
The Thirteenth Secret, Blood Core, creates six blood qi cores within the body. When the injuries are severe, shattering a core can heal the wounds quickly.
"Ssss... swoosh... ssss... swoosh..."
