A boy could be seen meditating in a freezing environment; A six-feathered bird with blue flames inside its eyes could be seen opening its beak and releasing a large amount of ice energy. The boy was covered in a layer of ice but continued with his meditation. He was using his focus to observe the change in his body.
His body was transforming; He was feeling burning pain all over his body, but he held on. He had felt even harsher pain, so he was not concerned about it. This continued for some hours before the ice around his body broke. The boy cried as the pain increased.
He slowly stood up with his shaky legs; There was not a trace of cloth on his body. He clenched his hands and felt that his skin had gotten a lot tougher. He took out a potion and drank it to relieve his pain. After working hard for three days, he had reached the first stage of the icy body, or 'icy skin,' and he could feel his defense getting two times stronger.
