Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 389: Chapter 190: Xia Li, 4 Articles, Someone is Coming_4

”Is this Reshaping Skin stage really that magical, that one must complete it perfectly to be fully exposed to the light? Is there no exception?”

Zhu Yuan’s question made everyone curiously look at Yuwen Dao.

Among them, only Yuwen Dao had the deepest understanding of the Cold Resistance Level.

With a father who was a Cold Resistance Level warrior, Yuwen Dao clearly had a certain understanding of this issue. After pondering for a moment, he said, ”There are no exceptions. Even if you wrap your entire body, you cannot be exposed to the sun outside.

In the Ice Abyss World after dawn, not only the light carries a chill, but the air as well. The so-called Leakless Realm of skin actually means you can control the pores on your skin to lock in your internal aura, preventing the external chill from penetrating your body and retaining your internal temperature. This is what Cold Resistance Level is all about.”

”Look outside; sunlight doesn’t always penetrate everywhere. It sometimes gets blocked by trees or mountains. If it were as simple as just avoiding sunlight to move around during the day, we’d have plenty of solutions.”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Yue Feng had a sudden change in expression and asked, ”So, you mean the Cold Resistance Level just grants one the qualification to operate during the day, but not to be under sunlight anytime, is that correct?”

”Exactly!”

After a moment of thought, Yuwen Dao gave a firm answer.

But this answer left Yue Feng and the others momentarily stunned.

The six of them simultaneously turned their gaze toward the roof of the wooden house on the left, all with confused and puzzled expressions.

Following their gaze, Yuwen Dao’s expression suddenly froze.

On the roof of the middle house, Xia Hong, dressed in black, was sitting cross-legged, with the cold sun’s rays almost perfectly enveloping his entire body.

This scene clearly contradicted what he just said.

”For this period, as long as it’s daytime, the leader always sits cross-legged meditating there. According to you, isn’t the leader at the Cold Resistance Level?”

”Isn’t the next level after Cold Resistance the Visible Yang Realm?”

”Has the leader broken through?”

...

Upon hearing the group of six’s inquiry, Yuwen Dao was also full of confusion.

Xia Hong most likely hasn’t broken through to the Xianyang Level; others might not be aware, but he was fairly certain.

Because the current Xia Hong gave him a feeling not much different from He Yuanhun back then. He could sense that Xia Hong’s strength was potentially just a notch stronger than He Yuanhun’s, but not to the extent of being an entirely different realm.

He couldn’t explain this situation either. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, ”I’m not clear about the leader’s situation. Supposedly, only a strong person at the Visible Yang Realm could expose themselves under the sun so recklessly, but he...”

Even Yuwen Dao, with such extensive knowledge, couldn’t explain it, let alone the others.

Everyone could only attribute this abnormality to Xia Hong’s inherent uniqueness. As a result, their gazes naturally became more reverent.

Xia Hong, sitting cross-legged on the roof with eyes closed, revealed a faint smile.

The discussions below naturally did not escape his ears.

Why could he appear under the sun so blatantly? Xia Hong actually had an answer in his heart. Initially, he wasn’t sure, but now he could basically confirm he was an exception.

This exception is likely based on a perfectly reshaped skin.

”My skin’s defensive capabilities far surpass that of normal Cold Resistance Level, so much so that the chill in the sunlight cannot penetrate. If nothing unexpected happens, my skin’s defensive capabilities should be comparable to that of the Xianyang Level. It’s just my strength, I’m not sure how it compares to a true Xianyang Level...”

Xia Hong slightly opened his eyes, looked up at the cold sun in the sky, and felt the blood and flesh beneath his skin slowly reshaping, his expression both excited and troubled.

He was excited because he seemed to have found a way to boost strength beyond the Cold Resistance Level.

The next stage after Reshaping Skin should be Regenerating Flesh.

By allowing cold light to enter the skin, it can achieve an effect of first damaging the body, then employing self-healing power to regenerate flesh.

What troubled him was that basking in the sun to practice was really too slow.

If he truly practiced in this manner, Xia Hong estimated it might take decades to complete the entire process.

”If nothing goes wrong, efforts should still be focused on high-level Cold Beasts...”

While contemplating, Xia Hong suddenly looked up, gazing toward the northern valley entrance. His brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of displeasure before speaking sternly:

”Since you’re here, stop hiding!”

Someone had arrived?

Below, Yuwen Dao, Yue Feng, and the others were stirred awake by Xia Hong’s voice. They quickly got up and stood by the door, looking toward the north.
