Third Person's POV
Feeling the strange stiffness, Ethan instinctively circulated the icy mana within his muscles and bones.
The moment he did so, his expression changed slightly in surprise.
Because he suddenly discovered that his skin had also become covered in those mysterious icy rune patterns that had previously existed only within his muscles and bones after he reached the second stage of the Arctic Sovereign Body Strengthening Manual.
But now the situation was completely different.

They covered every inch of his skin without leaving behind even the smallest untouched area.
The runes stretched across his arms, chest, back, neck, legs, and even the most private areas of his body.
Each rune emitted a faint icy blue glow beneath his skin whenever his mana circulated through his body.
