CHAPTER 868 I WILL STAY IN THE POOL FOR ONE MORE WHILE
Thomas took a look at the pool. Then, he turned his head and asked Fleming, "How long can your
students bear to stay in the pool?"
"It's not so easy to stay in the pool. The longer one stays in the pool, the harder it is to bear the
coldness. After a person soak in the water in it for a long time, the coldness he or she suffers will get so
great that ordinary people can't imagine. Even martial artists can't resist the coldness at that time. It's
Hancock that can stay in the pool for the longest time. He can stay in it for one and a half hours. I hope
that he can stay in the pool for a longer time this time." Fleming said.
Thomas smiled and asked, "Then, how long do you think Casey can stay in this pool?"
Fleming sneered and said, "Your student seems to be ordinary, and there is nothing special about him.
And he will not be as gifted as Hancock is. So he should be able to stay in the pool for an hour or so."
Thomas laughed and said, "My old friend, don't say so, otherwise you'll lose face."
Fleming twitched his lips and didn't take what Thomas said seriously at all. In his view, there would not
be a genius who was as good as Hancock, and he believed that Thomas was just pretending to be
confident.
"Nora, Hancock will stay in the pool for a long time, and that guy will not come out in a short time. Go to
make a pot of tea for us. I want to have tea and have a chat with Thomas." As Fleming spoke, Fleming
stared at Thomas. He looked as if he were going to drink poison instead of tea with Thomas.
Nora nodded at once. Then, she turned around and went to make tea.
Thomas took a look at Casey and then spoke to him, "There's no need for you to stay in the pool for
too long a time. You just need to stay in it for a longer time than Hancock does."
Casey didn't say anything in return. Instead, he concentrated on feeling the changes in his body
caused by the water in the pool.
Fleming sneered. He thought: Thomas should really believe that Casey could win Hancock. After so
many years, he was as arrogant as he was before.
Time went by. Fleming and Thomas were sitting at stone table that was not far away from the pool.
They were drinking tea and having a chat about the events happened the past. However, the way they
chatted was very different from the way other people chatted. In most of the time, they were quarrelling
with each other.
Different from them, Nora had been staying around the pool and watching Casey and Hancock. From
time to time, she would remind Casey, "It's time for you to go out now. Otherwise, you'll die."
Casey was not swayed at all. As time went by, he gradually found that he did have a higher level of
physical fitness and that his power was becoming more powerful.
This pool was indeed helpful to martial artists, but it was far from as good as the one the Valley of
Medicine God. There were originally pharmaceutical ingredients in the pool in the Valley of Medicine
God. Moreover, the people of the Valley of Medicine God had been putting herbs into it for hundreds of
years. Therefore, people could get great benefit by soaking in the pool of the Valley of Medicine God.
If this pool were as effective as the one in the Valley of Medicine God, Casey might be able to take this
opportunity to enter sublimation.
About an hour later, Hancock began to feel bad. Now, his face was pale and the color of his lips turned Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
purple because of the coldness. What's worse, he was running out of inner force after using it for a long
time.
Casey was in a different state. Now, his eyes were closed. However, his face was still red. It seemed
that he didn't feel any discomfort, just as if the coldness didn't have any influence on him.
Finding that Casey was totally fine, Hancock got anxious. Sometime later, he would have to get out of
the pool. However, Casey was still in a good state. It seemed that Casey would stay in the pool for a
longer time than he did.
"He just appears to be fine, but in fact he feels worse than I do. This cold pool is unusual, and he has
never soaked in it before. Therefore, it's impossible for him to stay in it for a longer time than I will do. It
means that he's trying to make me feel anxious by pretending to be calm. He wants to shorten the time
I'll stay in the pool in that way."
"Humph, according to my teacher, I'm the most gifted person in the world. How is it possible that I'll
lose to others in such a simple match? I can certainly win!"
As he thought, Hancock closed his eyes so that he would not be affected by the state Casey was in.
Fleming, who was sitting drinking tea at somewheere not far away from the pool, found that Casey was
not going to get out of the pool after he had stayed in it for an hour. Besides, his face was still red.
However, Hancock's face had turned pale. Seeing that, Fleming got rather anxious.
When Thomas saw that Fleming wore an anxious look on his face, he couldn't help laughing and
spoke, "My old friend, it's just a match between two young people. Don't be anxious. We'll naturally get
to know the result later."
Fleming sneered and said, "My student will absolutely not lose. There's no need for me to be anxious.
It's just that it's boring to have a chat with you."
Seeing that Fleming became less confident, Thomas just smiled and didn't say a word. He picked up
the cup of tea and took a sip.
Soon, half an hour passed.
At this moment, it was obvious that Hancock could no longer hang on. His face was very pale and his
lips were purple. His lips were even trembling slightly. He was almost unable to resist the coldness with
inner force anymore.
The coldness made it impossible for him to concentrate, not to mention to close his eyes and stay
focused. Therefore, at this moment, he could only open his eyes and look at Casey who was not far
away from him.
Casey was still calm. His eyes were closed, so Hancock could not know his emotion through his eyes.
Besides, Casey's face was just a little pale. It seemed that he could still stay in the pool for a long time.
Seeing that, Hancock became even more anxious. If it wasn't for the desire to win, he would have
jumped out of the pool now.
"Why isn't this damn guy going to get out of the pool now? Could it be that he really could stay in it for a
longer time?" Hancock cursed.
Nora, who was standing beside the pool, was also looking at Casey with an unhappy expression on her
face. She didn't expect that Casey would be able to stay in the cold pool for such a long time.
"Hey, get out of the pool now. If you can't hang on anymore, don't force yourself to do so. Otherwise,
your health will be damaged. It'll do no good to you." Nora shouted at Casey.
Hancock knew very well that Nora was speaking to Casey, but he felt as if Nora was talking to him.
It made it harder for him to hold on.
Just when Hancock got very anxious, Casey opened his eyes.
Hancock became a little hopeful at once. He thought that Casey couldn't hold on anymore and was
about to get out of the pool.
Casey looked around and asked, "How long have I been here?"
"You've been in the pool for one and a half hours." Thomas said with a smile.
Casey nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll stay here for one more while."
After saying that, Casey closed his eyes again.
Seeing that, Hancock was dumbfounded, He couldn't hold on anymore, jumping out of the pool at full
speed.
