Layer by layer of fine black film peeled off, falling into the medicinal bath within the wooden barrel. Bai Xiao's left hand brushed over his right arm, and underneath the muscles, as strong and hard as granite, were suddenly revealed. The surface skin didn't have the honey color that appeared as if a thick layer of tung oil was applied, like at the Tough Skin Level.

This color made the muscles on the arm even more rugged and pronounced, as if they were carved textures on a statue from Ancient Greece.
Dynamic tension filled with strength and beauty surged within him.
Waves sloshed in the wooden barrel.
Bai Xiao stepped out of it and wiped his entire body with a dry towel.
