Noticing that Marcus seemed to be interested, Parker and Watson looked at each other.
"How about we make a bet and see how long Marcus can hold on in the icy lake?"
Watson said to Parker provocatively.
"Okay, let's make a bet." Parker agreed without hesitation.
"Well, let's bet 50 gold coins. I bet Marcus can stay under the water for ten minutes."
"Then I bet he can stay for twenty minutes."
Ten minutes for Watson and twenty minutes for Parker, the two of them decided to bet on 50 gold coins.
"You two have a good time discussing. Have you forgotten that I'm still here?"
Marcus said slowly, staring at the two of them.
"No, you are going downstairs anyway. The two of us can just cheer you up. At that time, I will give you half of the gold coins I won."
Watson grinned and made a gesture of five to Marcus.
"You two!"
Marcus shook his head but didn't get angry.
It was a good chance for the two of them to see Marcus's strength.
The reason why Marcus was so confident was that he had a trump card.
He had copied Kennan's talent.
And Kennan's talent was strengthened by his ability of resisting cold.
So, he was confident that he could stay in the ice lake for some time.
Marcus came to the edge of the ice lake and was about to get into the water.
"If you can't, come up quickly. Don't push yourself too hard."
Watson added.
With a faint smile, Marcus boldly entered the ice lake.
The water around him quickly rushed towards him and instantly wrapped him up.
The temperature in the ice lake was really low, and the cold breath came into his body.
Marcus paused for a while. He didn't move until he adapted to the coldness.
Although it was very cold here, Marcus could hold on.
"He's in. The time starts now. Isn't it a little exaggerated for you to choose the twenty minutes one?"
Watson looked at the time and chatted with Parker.
"I don't think it's exaggerated at all. His strength should be much stronger than us. I guess he will be fine in twenty minutes."
Parker disagreed with what Watson said.
Although he always looked careless, he was very confident in Marcus's strength.
"Look at him now if you don't believe me." Parker pointed at the ice.
Marcus had just entered the ice lake and didn't move. Although he held his breath, he was adjusting his body to the coldness.
Now Marcus moved slowly, but he didn't move very fast.
Marcus was smart.
He wouldn't let too much exercise consume his physical strength.
"Wait, where is he going?" Watson noticed the direction of Marcus's movements and quickly dragged Parker.
"He is walking towards that figure. What does he want to do?" Parker frowned and couldn't understand what Marcus was doing.
After staying in the cold environment for a long time, the temperature seemed not to be so cold.
It took Marcus a while to get to the figure.
Marcus had seen his face clearly when he arrived.
He was not a student in the school.
Marcus recognized this man. It was Mr. Galen.
Galen was refining his body in the ice lake.
Gravity room, ice lake, and speed training room could refine one's body, but every focus was different.
The extreme coldness of the ice lake could improve people's endurance and adapt to the extreme environment.
Galen would come to the ice lake as long as he had time.
Because of the harsh environment here, there were not many people coming to the ice lake.
Now that the two were so close to each other, Galen could feel the fluctuation around him.
The man who had his eyes closed slowly opened them.
Galen was surprised to see Marcus.
The extreme coldness of the ice lake was not something that anyone could bear.
And the young man in front of him should be just a student.
He must have consumed a lot of physical strength energy to come to his side.
Marcus came here to copy Galen's talent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent physical strength to come to Galen after he entered the ice lake.
He could stay in the ice lake for such a long time.
Galen must have a great talent.
"Let's begin to analyze Galen's talent."
Marcus communicated with the chip in his mind.
"Okay, let's begin to analyze Galen's talent."
"Galen, he has reached the premium stage of talent."
The chip soon detected Galen's talent.
"Can I copy it now?" Marcus asked again.
If such a talent could be duplicated, his physique would become stronger and stronger.
"I have detected that the talent has been duplicated within 24 hours, so I can't copy it for the time being,"
Marcus was a little disappointed.
Although he knew Galen's talent, he had copied Kennan's before, and it hadn't been more than 24 hours, so he couldn't copy it.
"How long has he been under the water?" Parker looked at Marcus through the ice lake and asked.
After Marcus left for more than ten minutes, Watson didn't pay attention to him all the time.
"Congratulations in advance. You have won the bet for more than ten minutes. Now it's seventeen minutes."
Watson sighed after checking the time.
Marcus's toughness would always impress them.
So, every time they saw it, there was only admiration left.
"This is too powerful..."
Parker was shocked too.
Although he bet that Marcus could keep in the icy lake for twenty minutes, he was sure that he could make it to breakthrough with ease.
"Parker, I have a feeling that we should meet again and witness the birth of a great person."
Watson said seriously.
"Of course." Parker didn't understand what Watson meant.
"I'm talking about Marcus. He might be stronger than the chief president and surpass the whole continent in the future. As the top person, he has the potential to do that."
Watson said firmly without joking.
Parker opened his mouth but said nothing.
Mainland top strong, what a hot-blooded word!
Could they witness it? Would Marcus make the whole continent tremble?
"It will be."
Parker heard his answer in his heart.
"Marcus will."
At this moment, Marcus was close to Galen. When they were close enough, Galen finally said. "I haven't seen a student like you in the ice lake for a long time. Do you know how long you have been there?"
"I haven't calculated. It should be a while."
Marcus was stunned and answered quickly.
"Good. How do you feel in the ice lake? Can you stand it?"
Galen continued to ask. He cared about this student now.
"I think it's not bad, but it's really cold here."
Marcus smiled and his face turned pale.
After all, it was in the icy lake and would certainly be affected.
"Do you have no strength now?"
Galen thought Marcus might have run out of strength after hearing what he said.
After all, ordinary students couldn't bear it here.
"I'm fine." Marcus felt embarrassed to be too confident, especially in front of Galen.
He must be exhausted.
Galen had almost finished his cultivation today, so he simply went forward and grabbed Marcus's arm.
"Let's go. I'll take you out here."
Galen swam out of the ice lake quickly even with Marcus.
After they went ashore, Marcus shook the water off his clothes.
He spent nearly thirty minutes in the icy lake.
This was already quite terrifying.
Few students in the school could hold on for so long.
"Mr. Galen,"
Watson and Parker greeted him at once.
With a serious look on Galen's face, he criticized them, "You two are too bold to let ordinary students enter the ice lake. What will you do if something happens?"
Watson and Parker were stunned. Marcus was not an ordinary man.
"And he shouldn't have been brought to such a place. You two are too bold."
The more Galen said, the angrier he became. He scolded the two again.
Watson didn't dare to delay. He quickly explained, "Mr. Galen, you've misunderstood. Marcus is not an ordinary student. Just like the two of us, he is also the vice president of the Sword Skill Association."
Galen asked suspiciously, "Is he also the vice president of the Sword Skill Association?"
