Chapter 43: Turning into a Dragon
Ninety degrees below zero, fifteen times the gravity, and seven hours before the end.
However, at this time, Ivan was a tired division, and at the end of the strong crossbow, he could no longer hold on, so he could only slowly pac in place to maintain a little heat. The limbs were cold, as if ice slag had mixed into the blood vessels, and the whole body felt a dull pain. Thinking also began to stagnate, and large blank spaces appeared, as if even the brain was frozen.
"It's seven hours before it's over, but I'm almost freezing to death......"
Ivan silently counted the seconds in his heart, and every minute at this time was as long as an hour in the outside world for him.
God knows if the Blessed Sacrament will continue to work after the body freezes into ice lumps and shatters to the ground. Although he had never tried it, he also had a bottom in his heart - probably he couldn't do it, otherwise he wouldn't be frostbitten at all, and he should always be energetic.
The extreme cold environment can affect the performance of the blessings of the Eucharist, and this unexpected discovery should be regarded as the first harvest of penance.
β......β
Ivan crossed his hands around his chest, curled up, aimlessly struggling forward, his whole body frozen and covered with a layer of snow-white frost, and his eyelashes were covered with ice crystals, making him look like a wild man with white hair.
......
As the minutes ticked by, gravity didn't add any more, but the temperature dropped by five degrees.
Under the combined effect of the ultra-low temperature of minus 95 degrees Celsius and the combined effect of 15 times the gravity, Evan's physical condition continued to deteriorate, and by now, it was no longer to the extent of numbness in his hands and feet. Even breathing became extremely difficult, the chest and lungs seemed to be cracked, and every breath caused great pain, as if the ice blade cut the chest and lungs.
In the process, his consciousness also entered a state of confusion, forgetting things and me, leaving only a strong will to survive.
"Remember, the spiritual realm of mixed martial arts is water, which is clear and transparent, and can flow naturally from high to low, or it can gather quietly and naturally!"
The words that Kalenz used to teach seemed to come from a malfunctioning radio, and the sound was high and low.
"Water...... The realm of water. β
Ivan muttered unconsciously, his voice gradually became clearer, and the desire to survive in his chaotic head was immediately replaced by an urgent and stronger persistence, and Lingtai regained a trace of clarity.
β...... Imagine the flexibility of water, which is transparent but sometimes obscure, that it can split into two pieces, bypass obstacles, and become one on the other side, that water is gentle but also strong enough to destroy a city. Let your mind be as unfettered as water, and the greatness of your moves can be enlightened in the water!"
Karenz's voice gradually became clearer, and the words with deep meaning, like a thunderbolt, exploded in the depths of his mind, and then replayed hundreds of times.
Now, just a line away from death, the consciousness he had just regained was unprecedentedly concentrated, as if his entire life had been condensed into this moment, and all of it had been injected into the realm of mixed martial arts.
Clickββ!
Ivan sank into the realm of striking skills, revealing a thoughtful expression, and his spine suddenly sank down under the cover of ice and snow. The muscles on both sides of the back squirm gently, like ripples on the surface of the water, and the peristaltic squirming and contraction are very rhythmic. It slowly bulged down the spine, and after a while, it was connected from top to bottom, and the muscles quickly stiffened and bulged.
In a short moment, the epithelium, muscles, and blood vessels expand to release a large amount of heat, and at the same time, they are locked in the body by the strange structure of the cement, like putting on a spacesuit, completely isolating the body from the outside temperature.
Bangββ!
He slowly stretched his arms, shoulders up, hands crossed to the top of his head, and at the moment when the change was completed, the muscles on Ivan both arms ached, and the covered ice and snow cracked, and the green tendons squirmed violently like snakes, gradually releasing a huge amount of heat.
The shoulders, upper arms, forearms, and even wrists, and even the fingers, all of them were visibly swollen and thick, faintly glowing red, but there was no trace of water vapor evaporating.
Ivan moved his eyes, his hands instantly clenched into eagle claws, the muscle textures on his two arms were clear and eye-catching, and the muscle groups squeezed the layers of musculoskeletal membranes, and the rhythmic slight wriggling - like a molting python, adapting to its inflated body.
Without exception, these muscles are extremely restrained, even completely inconspicuous small muscles, which are highlighted and aggregated with large muscle blocks at this time, and the bodybuilding silhouette that emerges has a steel-poured texture. Like the back, the heat is tightly shrunk in the body without leaking a single thread.
β......β
Evan narrowed his eyes, the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, raised his head slightly, and slowly pressed down with his raised hands, all the way through his chest, lower abdomen, waist and crotch and finally to his knees. The spine shook and bounced again, like a dragon that drew water, driving the bulging muscle groups, and the pieces spread downward and solidified.
This scene is like the armor of an ancient marching general - his muscles are armor.
ε²ββ!
He only felt a burning neck, and the heat poured down his arms poured into his cervical spine, forming a strong stimulus, and the blood that was almost coagulated suddenly flowed. Like a waterfall under the flow, the cervical vertebrae are like a dragon entering the sea, suddenly twisting violently, from the cervical vertebrae to the tail vertebrae, emitting a series of low muffled sounds, like spring thunder, like angry wind, like a dragon's groan.
The heat flows down the spine, progressively, from the waist and hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and finally into each toe, circling half a circle, and then rushing backwards to the top of the head in the blink of an eye. As it passed through the spine, there was a low muffled sound from the tail vertebrae to the cervical vertebrae, and a warmth gushed out from the depths of the bone marrow, slowly flowing to the limbs and hundreds of remains.
The dragon enters the sea and transforms into a dragon!
Boom ββ!
Evan suddenly felt a burst of qi and blood churning, hot rushing straight to his head, and the originally almost frozen brain seemed to be affected by this heat, and the chill dissipated in an instant, but there was a feeling of dizziness and smoke from the smell of wine.
Bang bangββ!
At the same time, his heart also began to beat wildly, like a drum, rapidly pumping blood and pumping it to the whole body, in the process of the heat in the body continued to rise, and was locked in the body and could not leak out, making the skin gradually red.
"The spine is almost alive!"
Ivan narrowed his eyes and felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart after feeling his current physical condition.
The muscles of his whole body were swollen and stiff, the fascia of his bones was buzzing and trembling, and his body seemed to be a third of the fullest, and the protruding cervical vertebrae on his back groaned like an irritable fire dragon.
Evan remembered that Karenz told him that in the middle of mixed martial arts, he could exchange blood and marrow, and when he trained his spine to come back to life, he would approach the level of blood exchange and marrow.
The other party once compared the spine to a river, and the strength of the whole body to flowing water, when the river returns to the stream, and when the river of the spine is considered alive. However, compared to the river, Evan prefers to describe the spine as a dragon, when the dragon enters the sea, when it is considered a dragon to the sky.
