Happy's Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hall gave it to me. He's a strange one. This card hasn't melted for two hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happy Hogan took the Ice Card back from Natasha, showing it off with a hint of pride. It was a personalized gift from \"The Ice Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep it safe, Happy,\" Natasha advised, her tone serious. \"Put it in the freezer. Otherwise, it willeventually melt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered the Triad members in Hell's Kitchen. They had remained frozen for half a month before thawing. The Ice Demon's power wasn't just cold; it was a suspension of entropy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, the freezer,\" Happy nodded, placing the card in the mini-fridge of his luxurious private office (which doubled as a gym).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent patted the empty side of his bed. Gwen had left an hour ago to avoid her mother, Tracy, finding out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to cultivate,\" Vincent rubbed his hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every man had a martial arts dream. And the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique was the peak of body cultivation. In the novels, the Golden Wheel King used it to fight grandmasters solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's Ice Fruit gave him elemental invincibility. His Hydro-Kinesis gave him magical dominance. But his physical body was just a (very strong) human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to be a tank. A muscle-bound juggernaut who could punch a Hulk in the face without breaking his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wealth: $10.1 Billion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points: 4.11 Million]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique (Layer 1 - Entry)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had farmed 900,000 Desire Points from Mystique (9 rounds) and 100,000 from Gwen. The System clearly encouraged... \"romantic\" endeavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, raise Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique to Layer 1 Peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of chi flooded his meridians. It was weaker than his magic but felt more solid, more grounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Layer 1 Complete. Cost: $1 Million.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength increased by 20%. His durability by 50%. With his Baji-Mizong mastery, he controlled this new power instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Layer 2 Complete.

Cost: $4 Million.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Layer 4, his strength tripled. He could project his chi outward, forming a bell-shaped barrier (Dragon-Elephant Bell) capable of stopping a rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total Cost: $10 Million. Cheap,\" Vincent smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the System clarified: The cost scales because your base stats are already high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Layer 5 Complete.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Layer 6 Peak Complete. Cost: $6 Million.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his body began to purge impurities. Black sludge oozed from his pores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent summoned water to wash himself clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt something inside him shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vision appeared in his mind: Eight dragons coiling around his spine. Thirteen giant elephants trampling the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations!

Super Soldiers rely on serum. But I have evolved. I am no longer just human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cellular activity had tripled. His lifespan had extended to at least 1,000 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now a Tier 2 Lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, max it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maxing Skill: Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent cast Ice Ball, creating a frozen sphere around himself to contain the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the sphere, his body glowed.

Quasi-Skyfather level,\" Vincent estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't Odin yet.
