The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

At this moment, Ye Xiao saw the rewards for his body refinement achievement.

A relieved and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

[Wall of Flesh V (Max Level)] grants him a 25% increase in physical defense.

Ye Xiao looked down, staring at the surface of his body.

It doesn't seem to have changed much from before.

But in reality, the toughness of his skin and flesh has reached a new level!

Furthermore, he has mastered a new ability: Copper Skin and Iron Bones!

This effect is quite amazing!

Once activated, it will temporarily increase his physical defense to 100% for the next 15 seconds!

This means Ye Xiao has gained double the defensive power!

One is "pain shielded," the other is "indestructible."

These two state abilities can be used together.

Ye Xiao could already picture him charging headlong into the enemy, fearless of pain, his thick skin and tough flesh relentlessly attacking!

And this time.

Fatty Wang saw that Ye Xiao's body was covered with tiny blood spots, and his pores were slowly drying and forming scabs.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

Fatty Wang couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to experience something like this.

He probably didn't stay in that meat grinder for more than 10 seconds.

He would then have suicidal thoughts.

"Brother Xiao, are you going to continue?"

As soon as Fatty Wang asked that question, he immediately regretted it!

Because Ye Xiao really wanted to continue.

"continue!"

"But this isn't the right project; we can move on to the next one."

talking.

Fatty Wang stared in disbelief as Ye Xiao arrived at the edge of the icy pool.

He took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear.

His body was constantly wiped with water from the icy pool to help it adapt to the cold environment below.

Then came a thud.

Ye Xiao jumped directly into the icy pool.

He gripped a rope, keeping his body afloat in the center of the icy pool.

This rope is a life-saving device.

Once the person can no longer hold on, the ropes can be activated to quickly pull them out of the icy pool.

At this moment, Ye Xiao felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

The icy feeling started from the soles of my feet and surged upwards, all the way to the top of my head!

Water at minus ten degrees Celsius feels like countless needles piercing the skin.

The tiny wounds, when exposed to the ice water, caused him to tremble with pain.

But he didn't move.

He gripped the rope, leaned against the pool wall, tried to relax, then closed his eyes and let the icy water soak his whole body.

Blood seeped from the wound and spread in the water like red smoke.

The principle behind the ice pool is very simple.

It's cold! Extremely cold!

The cold causes blood vessels to constrict, blood to thicken, and the body to instinctively accelerate circulation to maintain body temperature.

During this process, the body's vital energy and blood are activated, and the physical body is strengthened.

But the price is—pain.

The kind of pain that makes you want to die!

Wang Pangzi, standing on the shore, looked extremely worried.

Ye Xiao's every move was simply too crazy.

In all his years, he had never seen or heard of anyone cultivating in such a crazy way!

This is hardly cultivation!

He's practically courting death!

Ye Xiao began to grit his teeth and persevere, using his willpower to fight against the cold water of the icy pool.

At the same time, he could feel his body's instinctive will to survive.

It's accelerating the circulation of blood in his body!

The body continuously releases new heat.

Then replenish the heat lost from the body surface.

"Yes! That's the feeling!"

"This torture! The unbearable pain! The agony of wanting to commit suicide!"

Ye Xiao screamed almost frantically in his heart.

"Because only in this way can my body continue to evolve!"

at last.

The Frozen Pool has taken effect!

He kept hearing the news that he had obtained the power to refine his body.

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has gained a large amount of body-refining power!]

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has gained a large amount of body-refining power!]

【……】

After persisting for five minutes.

Ye Xiao's head, which surfaced from the water, was already covered with a layer of frost.

He wiped the cream off his eyelashes.

He said to Fatty Wang, "Fatty, help me reduce the prescription again."

"Minus 20 degrees Celsius, I want to try it!"

After Wang Pangzi heard Ye Xiao's almost perverted request.

His voice trembled as he spoke.

"Brother Xiao, please don't. Are you going to keep cooling the water down? If it gets any colder, you might just pop out and die in there."

Fatty Wang finally couldn't hold back and said some harsh words.

To know.

Ye Xiao has been in the icy pool for 5 minutes now!

5 minutes!

Soaking in ice water at -10 degrees Celsius.

This is simply unimaginable!

"It's getting hotter!"

Ye Xiao's tone was extremely firm.

Wang Pangzi had no choice but to do as Ye Xiao said.

The icy pool began to cool down.

Ye Xiao clearly felt that large areas of his limbs had lost sensation.

But that's not why he has a 50% reduction in pain sensation.

Instead, his body began to freeze and become numb!

in short.

If this continues, his body will necrotize, his organs will freeze, and so on.

However, Ye Xiao has cultivated for a period of time.

His health is also not what it used to be.

In a pool of ice at -20 degrees Celsius.

Ye Xiao began to silently calculate his soaking time and how much longer he could last.

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has received a massive amount of body-refining power!]

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has received a massive amount of body-refining power!]

【……】

But I must say...

The benefits of training one's body in such a harsh environment are also enormous!

Basically, he gains a huge amount of body-refining power every two seconds.

"One minute..."

"Two minutes..."

"Three minutes..."

Three minutes have passed.

Ye Xiao did not choose to continue to push his limits or insist on breaking through his potential.

Instead, he immediately said...

"Fatty, pull me up!"

He knew very well why he was cultivating his body: to become stronger!

When you realize that you have reached the limit of your body's endurance.

Ye Xiao did not hesitate at all.

Choose to get away immediately.

Wang Pangzi reacted quickly, activating the rope life-saving device almost the moment Ye Xiao uttered the first word.

Swish.

The safety rope pulled Ye Xiao directly out of the icy pool.

Ye Xiao stayed in the pool for 8 minutes.

I spent 5 minutes in a 10-degree environment and 3 minutes in a 20-degree environment.

This result is already quite good.

When he came out, his lips were purple and his body was stiff, like a corpse carried out of an ice cellar.

Fatty Wang quickly helped the swaying Ye Xiao to a chair next to him.

Ye Xiao sat down, panting heavily.

The moment Fatty Wang let go of Ye Xiao's hand.

His palms were already stinging from the coldness emanating from Ye Xiao.

"It hurts! It's cold!" That was Wang Pangzi's first thought.

Wang Pangzi was shocked: "I only supported his body for a few seconds, and my hands were already freezing."

"But he stayed in the icy pool for so long."

"Xiao-ge, you're not human! You're a monster!"

At this time.

Ye Xiao used the towel that Wang Pangzi handed him to wipe the water off his body.

He looked down at his body.

The wounds on my body have stopped bleeding—the ice water constricted my blood vessels and stopped the bleeding.

But the wounds are still there, the purplish-blue bruises are still there, and the swollen muscles are still there.
