Chapter 301: 【143】Under the deep water, I am immortal_2
Jenny thought for a moment and continued writing.
[Then let's go to 190 meters and see how your body reacts. If it's too much, we'll go back immediately.]
Seeing his wife's insistence and feeling that his own physical condition hadn't reached its limit,
Smith gestured underwater to show his agreement and swam downwards with his wife once more.
The underwater lights they carried were the only source of light at this depth.
At that moment, Jenny's light scanned the bottom of the deep diving passage, and her expression froze. She stopped her descent and handed her writing board to Smith.
Confused, Smith took a look and was immediately filled with shock.
On the board, hastily scribbled, it read:
[I saw someone at the bottom of the water, sitting still with no diving equipment.]
That brief sentence sent a chill through Smith, making his back tingle with fear.
Where exactly were they now?
At a depth of 195 meters, even with diving gear, it was difficult to sit still on the bottom.
Smith quickly shone his light toward the 200-meter deep bottom. After a search, a figure sitting cross-legged underwater soon appeared in their view.
Jenny was right; there really was someone there, and the person didn't have any diving equipment.
Astonishment filled Smith—a feat like this, even the best free divers couldn't accomplish.
In this world, there's a sport known as free diving.
Free diving refers to diving without the use of an oxygen tank, relying solely on lung capacity for breath-hold diving.
The Blue Hole Depth Challenge is held annually at the Dean's Blue Hole in The Bahamas, which is 203 meters deep, a mecca for freedivers around the world. Each year, the competition invites dozens of the best freedivers from around the globe, making it a dream event for them.
In 2017, diver Wang Aolin successfully completed the challenge diving to 100 meters, 103 meters, and 105 meters.
In 2021, Ahika Erkuman, the diving world champion from Turkey, succeeded in diving to 100 meters deep.
In 2023, at the Arctic Circle, the Russian Federation's world champion freediver Molchanov reached a depth of 100 meters in Lake Rama, where the water temperature remains only 4°C.
In June 2023, at the Free Diving Asian Cup Depth Competition in the Philippines, diver Xu Tongtong succeeded in a CWT dive to a depth of 100 meters.
It can be said that, so far, the limit for human freediving is locked around 100 meters.
Yet the person Smith saw had achieved double what those top freedivers could do!
What immense physical prowess!
Under the gaze of the Smiths, the man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes and looked at them expressionlessly.
Whoosh!
Wang Longhu stood up. He hadn't expected that even at a depth of 200 meters, he would encounter someone disturbing him.
Since entering the Resting State, Wang Longhu had managed to achieve preliminary breath suppression.
He could take a deep breath using the Wudang Golden Toad Skill, hold it inside, and survive underwater without an oxygen tank for a day and a night.
If he could ever manage not needing to breathe, his breath suppression would be complete.
Bang!
With a push from his legs, Wang Longhu shot upwards like a torpedo.
The Smiths hadn't even had time to react before Wang Longhu had disappeared above them, leaving only a trail of water where he passed.
"A god! He's a god!" Smith exclaimed in shock.
To generate such powerful propulsion at a depth of 200 meters; what else could he be but a god?
No ordinary person could reach such a level.
Splash!
Wang Longhu's head broke through the water's surface, sending up a spray of water.
It only took him about 15 seconds to reach the pool's surface from 200 meters down—a feat astounding even in a sprint race.
Especially considering the immense water pressure.
When Wang Longhu climbed out of the pool, his perfectly sculpted muscular physique immediately caught everyone's attention in the swimming hall.
Muscles were a man's best attire.
No amount of branded clothing or luxury watches could match the raw impulse a muscular body evoked in women.
"Oh my god, that Asian man is so manly." Many blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign women were filled with desire.
They couldn't resist the urge to approach Wang Longhu, but he gave them no chance, grabbing a towel from the edge and wrapping himself up as he strode away.
With the discipline of celibacy, engaging with women before breaking it would only add trouble.
While Wang Longhu was training his breath suppression, on Mount Fuji on Honshu Island,
Mount Fuji, the highest peak of Japan Island, is a famous symbol and one of the three sacred mountains.
Although many knew of Mount Fuji as a famous tourist spot, few were aware that it was privately owned.
The true owners of Mount Fuji were the Dekang Clan.
The clan's head, Takakawa Jun'ichiro, was one of the five elders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
The heavy snow spread far and wide, covering the landscape in white.
