Kai gritted his teeth as he pushed himself up from the cold ground. His body ached from the beatdown, but his mind was sharper than ever. Each defeat was a lesson to him , and he would not give up. He became more and more sharper and now he can exchange 5 moves. But this not how i should continue.
"I need to think differently," Kai muttered to himself. "I can't just rely on my body—I have to use my bloodline power."
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and focused inward. The frost energy within him stirred, like a sleeping beast awaiting for command. But controlling it was far from simple. He could feel the energy coursing through his veins, but it remained chaotic, refusing to move as he wished.
"Focus… visualize," he told himself.
He imagined the energy flowing like a river through his body, reaching his fingertips, toes, and even his breath. A chilling sensation spread through his arm first, then to his chest, then downward toward his legs. He tried to push it into his fingertips, and suddenly, the energy break.
Kai gasped, staring at his hand in shock. "What was that?"
He tried again, this time more carefully. As he directed the frost energy, his skin tingled, and he could feel his cells adapting, reshaping. He willed the energy into his palm, and a layer of ice formed over his skin, but it was thin and fragile. He flexed his fingers, and the ice cracked, shattering into tiny fragments.
"Not enough control," he realized. "I need to stabilize it."
Steeling his resolve, Kai adjusted his approach. Instead of forcing the energy, he guided it gently, spreading it evenly through his muscles and bones. This time, when the frost formed, it held firm—his hand was now completely encased in ice, yet he could still move it freely.
A wave of understanding washed over him. "So this is how it works… I have to let the energy become a part of me, not just coat me."
The puppets, as if sensing his readiness, lunged forward once more. Kai didn't wait for them to strike this time. He dashed towards the nearest puppet, his frost-infused hand aimed at its chest.
Crack!
The moment his fist connected, a layer of ice spread across the puppet's torso, slowing its movements. But before Kai could celebrate, another puppet struck from behind,he tried to dodge but he was a bit slower puppet sends him tumbling to the ground once again.
"Not enough," he growled, forcing himself up. "I need to move the energy faster, control it better."
He steadied his breath and tried again. This time, he directed the frost energy not just to his arm, but throughout his body. The cold surged through his muscles, sharpening his senses and reflexes. As the puppets attacked, he moved with newfound agility, evading their strikes with ease.
Kai sidestepped the incoming blow and countered with a frost-infused punch, shattering the puppet's arm. Without hesitation, he spun and kicked another, his foot leaving an icy trail as it connected. One by one, the puppets fell, their movements growing sluggish under his icy assault.
Minutes later, the last puppet collapsed, frozen solid.
Ding!

As kai managed to dodge right one,and counterattack the left but below nee kick send him flying. The power of these puppets are more than he could handle as kai barly get on his nees.
As he struggled to stand up as his body shaking up but his mind was thinking how to move forward as he thinking he realise that what I need is not to control my bloodline power but integrate the power into him.
As he was thinking more and more he suddenly got epiphany. He see his power inside couling around this body

[Proceeding to Task 2:Shape the Frost energy into forms at will.]
Kai exhaled, watching the frozen battlefield around him. He had done it.
A new set of puppets appeared before him, but this time,they have weapons in there hand. Suddenly, a message from the system appeared before his eyes.
[To complete Task 2, the host must mold Frost energy into a weapon and defeat the puppets using only formed weapon.]
Kai's lips curled into a smirk. "Now, this is becaming more interesting"
He extended his hand, channeling the frost energy outward. The air around him crackled with freezing power as a shimmering blade of ice began to take form in his palm.
With his weapon ready, he took a stance. The puppets moved in unison, their eyes glowing with a dull, mechanical light.
