Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

The biting wind and heavy snow turned this area, known as Lake Rabinkel, into a desolate wasteland.

There is no human habitation here, only endless snow.

Humans cannot stay here for long; it is a closed basin in the mountains.

The entire basin is locked up by mountains, and the north wind brings in all the cold air from the Arctic Ocean, piling up at the bottom of the basin into an ice hell of -65°C.

In the center is a frozen lake covering tens of square kilometers, its surface frozen into an ice mirror 5 meters thick.

Yet this very enemy is the perfect place for Matthew to train.

The cold, like ice blades, constantly cut into his skin, and the freezing air continuously filled his lungs, trying to freeze him completely and make him a part of this place.

Unfortunately, his physique was too strong.

Beside the frozen lake, he wore only a thin vest and shorts, his body burning like a furnace, the intense heat even forming billowing white steam around him.

He held a chain in his hand, one end of which was locked to a huge rock weighing several hundred tons, and he dragged the boulder along the shore of the frozen lake.

A long ditch, plowed out by the tiller, was left along the way.

He didn't use any domineering aura or the power-generating techniques brought by the Six Styles; he simply used his body.

I ran around the frozen lake several times, and the heavy snow continued, with everything in sight a vast expanse of white.

After finishing the run, he wrapped chains around his upper body and carried the entire boulder on his back.

Carrying a boulder several times his own height on his back, he appeared so small.

However, carrying this huge thing on his back, Matthew let out a strange cry and suddenly leaped up, the explosive force propelling him whooshing into the sky above the center of the frozen lake.

His body fell like a meteorite.

Rumble!

A terrifying burst of black lightning erupted, followed by a deafening roar as Matthew, carrying a giant rock, crashed through the thick ice and plunged straight into the lake.

Huge rocks fell from the sky, crashing into the frozen lake and sending towering columns of water flying.

The spray in the air was quickly frozen by the cold temperature, turning into ice crystals that fell down.

Matthew sank deeper and deeper into the gurgling water.

The official depth of this glacial lake is 320 meters. The lake has underground channels that connect directly to the Arctic Ocean.

After reviewing the information, it was precisely because of this lake that Matthew recognized it as an excellent place for training.

And that was indeed the case.

At a depth of 320 meters, the water pressure reaches 31 atmospheres.

Every inch of skin was being subjected to terrifying pressure, as if a small mountain was pressing down on it evenly, and flesh, bones, and internal organs were being slowly crushed.

An ordinary person wouldn't last even a second here; the water pressure would crush their chest cavity and burst their lungs.

However, for Matthew, it was the ultimate training ground for physical endurance.

This water pressure was sufficient to apply the appropriate pressure to him, not to mention he was carrying a rock weighing hundreds of tons.

For the first time in a long time, Matthew felt an unprecedented hardship.

But it was precisely this hardship that excited Matthew. He liked pressure because only with enough pressure could he maximize his growth.

He was at the bottom of the lake, carrying hundreds of tons of giant rocks on his back. Any movement he made would have a chain reaction, and the heavy pressure squeezed his entire body inside and out.

It was truly difficult, but he was exceptionally serious and focused to the extreme.

He felt the changes in every muscle, bone, internal organ, and cell in his body, and eventually, he reached a state of complete absorption.

Time passed little by little, and the sky over the frozen lake gradually darkened without anyone noticing.

Three or four hours passed in a flash.

The ice on the surface of the frozen lake has already frozen over again.

boom!!

The once calm lake water beneath the ice suddenly became turbulent. The next moment, a huge rock smashed through the ice, sending water spraying dozens of meters into the air, and Matthew's figure rushed out.

He flew into the air and arrived in front of the falling giant rock, then turned around and kicked out.

It slammed heavily onto the giant rock, creating a shockwave that sent the rock flying towards the riverbank.

Bang!

The giant rock crashed heavily onto the shore, sending up a flurry of snowflakes and icicles. Matthew's figure transformed into a golden beam of light, piercing through the darkness and snow curtain as he gracefully landed on the giant rock.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Matthew slumped onto the giant rock, his chest heaving wildly as he gasped for breath. The cold air filling his lungs brought him immense comfort, a blend of frost and long-lost oxygen.

Unlike the low temperature, Matthew's blood was flowing rapidly throughout his body, turning his body into a furnace.

The scorching heat even dried out the previously soaked vests and shorts in a short time.

The rock formations around him had all dried out.

"I almost suffocated," Matthew gasped, his face showing lingering fear.

I glanced at the waterproof watch on my wrist; it showed three hours and fifty minutes.

It took almost four hours.

My body has already reached its limit.

He put immense pressure on himself; the pressure of 320 meters of water alone, plus hundreds of tons of rock, was already an inhuman level of training.

Moreover, being at the bottom of a lake, he also had to endure the additional conditions of lack of oxygen.

Holding your breath for a long time is a dangerous activity and also consumes a lot of energy.

When the human body is lacking oxygen, the heart rate will soar, the heart will beat wildly, and the oxygen consumption will increase dramatically.

At this point, the body will instinctively begin to struggle, muscles will stiffen, energy will burn wildly, lactic acid will begin to accumulate, the more you hold it in, the more tired you become, and the more tired you become, the less you can hold it in.

Therefore, ordinary people will experience weakness, dizziness, and limp hands and feet when they lack oxygen.

The same goes for Matthew.

What makes him stronger than ordinary people is his monstrous physique. First, there's his lung capacity, and then there's his abundant energy, which allows him to hold his breath for far longer than the average person.

However, there is still water pressure and carrying a giant rock on one's back.

In addition, there is continuous underwater movement, punching, kicking, running, and even occasionally using the "Shave" technique, one of the six styles, which involves stomping on the ground dozens of times at high speed.

This kind of martial arts technique, which bursts out at the limit of power and speed in an instant, also consumes physical energy.

With all the debuffs applied, he almost suffocated from playing too hard.

Fortunately, he eventually succeeded in understanding the meaning of returning life.

It allows you to freely control all cells, muscles, hair, nerves, etc., making your mind the body, including your pores.

A superhuman ability to amplify a faint instinct to its extreme.

Matthew opened all the pores on his body to absorb the trace amounts of dissolved oxygen in the water.

Then a burst of energy caused it to leave the lakebed and return to the shore.

Of course, it's unlikely that he suffocated completely, since the elemental mobility of the Glint-Glint Fruit allowed him to break free of the chains at the last moment.

Overall, this training has truly helped him grow physically once again.

Furthermore, he grasped the meaning of returning life and gained immensely.

After that, he was able to train at the bottom of the lake for longer periods of time until he was fully adapted to the water pressure and the weight.

But now he is very tired and hungry.

Soon, his breathing returned to normal, and he turned to look at the shore not far away, where there were two huge metal boxes and an open parachute.

Those were food ingredients and daily necessities purchased via airdrop.

He needs to have a good meal.
