After being struck by the ice knight and being cursed with Glacial Trace, Yuan inspected his body.
'My body definitely feels colder now, but it's not enough.'
Since a single curse wasn't enough to see any difference, Yuan decided to let the ice knight strike him a few more times.
Although Yuan took no real damage or injuries from the ice knight's attacks, a glowing blue chain-like tattoo would appear across his body with each strike, each mark representing a single Glacial Trace.
After accumulating ten Glacial Traces, Yuan finally sensed a change. His cold resistance had weakened to the point where the fifth floor's environment now felt genuinely threatening. However, in exchange, his cold resistance was strengthening at a noticeably faster rate than before.
