His flesh was severely damaged; had it not been for the tough physique derived from practicing [Ascetic Body Refinement], if it were any ordinary Wizard, even without discarding their body, they would need to radically transform their body through alchemy in order to survive.

Enduring the erosion and searing of Magic Flames for half a month, his [Ascetic Body Refinement] Master Level Proficiency surged, breaking through the 1,400 point threshold, nearing the 1,500 point mark. It became the skill on his character panel closest to Master Level Completion.
