The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 868

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 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!"
