Looking at the three words floating before his eyes, Okkotsu smiled in acceptance.
That covert maneuver had caught him completely off guard...
Although he could indeed use his Copy technique to replicate Yang Xu's Blood Manipulation and make the blood in his body fight the foreign blood, there was ultimately no point.
Yang Xu's heart could regenerate. Even if he copied it, his opponent would immediately restore it, stripping the consumed flesh of its value and rendering the technique ineffective.
As for the other thing he had swallowed, the Special Grade Cursed Tool [False Sun God Slayer]...
Strictly speaking, it did not count as a limb or flesh.
But to Kamo Xu, it held extraordinary value. Calling it the vessel for the other half of his soul would not be an exaggeration.
If he used it as the medium required to copy a cursed technique, he could indeed gain control over Blood Manipulation, and even the absurdly powerful ability Blood Affinity!
But he could not compress blood the way Yang Xu or Kamo Xu could. Even Riko Amanai did a better job than he did.
Because he lacked the most important prerequisite-[soul-blood fusion]!
Without that heavenly restriction, Blood Manipulation was ultimately nothing more than an ordinary squirt gun.
It could bully weak opponents in low-level matches, but in high-level battles, against [simple yet outrageously overpowered stats] or [mechanics so broken they made you want to flee], it simply could not compete.
Put plainly, it was a toy that novices found interesting and experts found boring.
The technique's floor was fixed. Its ceiling depended on the individual sorcerer's own exploration.
Kamo Xu was one example of someone who had raised that ceiling.
Like a rising tide lifting all boats, he alone had raised the overall strength of the entire Kamo Clan
