Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 167: Submerged Breath
Looking at Chen Chuan walking from the beach, Chang Ba watched as cast a long shadow in the rising sun, appearing relaxed and natural. He couldn't help but mutter, "He really did it."
There are indeed differences between people.
But is the difference really that big?
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Once the car was parked, He Xiaoxing got out.
Seeing that Chen Chuan was maintaining internal breathing, not using his mouth or nose, and appearing very natural, he knew that he had mastered it skillfully.
He said, "Alright, we'll start the next stage of training today. Pack up and go to another place."
Chen Chuan said okay. He went back to pack up, took his things, and got into the car. The car slowly started and soon left the place.
After getting in the car, although he no longer needed to reject foreign objects, he did not switch to external breathing at the moment.
Yesterday, after finding the right method, he discovered that this Internal Breathing Technique also had an effect on guiding the mutated internal organs, and it was even more targeted.
If the previous Breathing Technique was based on the original internal organs to drive other Mutated Tissue, then now, every time he uses internal breathing, it is the mutated internal organs that take the lead.
This allows him to understand and master the use of mutated internal organs more deeply. Moreover, doing so accelerates the growth of mutated internal organs.
It's just that it is still in the initial stage, and daily guidance is different from combat.
He needs more time to master it.
In fact, apart from anything else, he feels that it was worth the trip just to learn this technique.
After the vehicle drove north for half an hour, it arrived at a place with strange landforms. The ground here has various pits, some small, about one or two meters wide, and some large, up to ten or twenty meters wide.
These pits are filled with red liquid, which seems to originate from the same source as the water of Dan Lake, but the water surface bulges upward. From a distance, they look somewhat like scarlet eyes embedded in the surface.
Although not far from Dan Lake, the style here is completely different from what he just saw. If the former is magnificent, then this place is bizarre.
Chang Ba probably knows what he is going to do next and is familiar with the place, so without waiting for instructions, the car chose a place to stop, and the three of them got out of the car.
He Xiaoxing said, "Some of the pits here are naturally formed, and some are artificially excavated. Under these pits, there are underground well tunnels of varying depths. The shallow ones are only about ten meters deep, and the deep ones reach several miles, but it cannot be ruled out that there are longer ones.
What you need to do next is to choose one of the well tunnels to enter and use the special properties of the water and the pressure under the well to exercise your own endurance.
Under the water, you can only use the Internal Breathing Technique, and you also need to use other Mutated Tissue to resist the pressure and maintain yourself. This can comprehensively exercise your mutated internal organs, let them know your urgent needs, so they will become stronger and more active, so the longer you persist, the better."
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of a pit and stepped on it. "Let's start here first." He then said to Chang Ba , "Bring him the things."
"Okay, Uncle He."
Chang Ba ran back to the car, took out a set of unopened diving suits, and placed them on the ground, showing off, "This set of Swimming Carp Diving Suit is a technology from Central City. People can hardly feel its existence when swimming, and it is very breathable. You don't have to worry about being scratched when you encounter hard and sharp objects when Speed is fast. This is a good thing, even I haven't used it myself."
Of course, he couldn't say that he couldn't last long when he did this training before, so he didn't need it.
Chen Chuan walked to the diving suit and said, "Thank you, Brother Chang."
Chang Ba chuckled twice. No matter how powerful Chen Chuan is, he still has to call him brother, doesn't he? He ran up happily, "Come, let me help you. Disassemble it like this, do it like this here..."
After Chen Chuan put on the diving suit, he moved his hands and feet and found that it was indeed very comfortable. It did not have the tight feeling he had imagined, and it was very light and breathable, like an extra layer of Skin outside his body.
Because he estimated that it would take a long time this time, he drank a few mouthfuls of water in advance and ate a nutrition bar, and then stood on the edge of the pit.
The diameter of this hole is less than two meters, which is considered narrow for him.
He crouched down and first reached out to try it. He felt a sticky feeling, and the buoyancy of the water was extremely high, as if it could lift his palm. Moreover, there were also those Stone Algae in it, which meant that if he immersed himself here, he would need to constantly fight against the parasitism of these things.
The difficulty is not small.
He stood up, made some adjustments on the spot, and then took a few steps back. He jumped up, made a somersault, and entered the pit with a relaxed movement.
After arriving underwater, he moved his hands and feet, resisting the buoyancy, and slowly dived deeper. He felt that the pit was not very deep, probably only about twenty meters, but he could feel the omnipresent pressure squeezing towards him.
And it was just the beginning. He remembered that He Xiaoxing asked him to maintain it here for as long as possible, so he sat cross-legged at the bottom of the water and began to maintain internal breathing.
Above the ground, Chang Ba walked to the edge of the pit. The splashes of water stirred up by Chen Chuan when he jumped down quickly disappeared, and the water surface returned to peace.
He remembered that he went down to another pit at the beginning, which was about ten meters deep. How long did he last at that time? About twenty minutes? Should be...
He coughed, but this was just a training attempt. His Mutated Tissue is not in this direction, so no matter how much he practices, it is useless. Maintaining a longer time can only prove his physical fitness.
But he also knows that the real test here does not come from external pressure, but from his own heart, which is the real torture.
At the bottom of the pit, Chen Chuan just sat quietly for a while, but he felt as if he had experienced a long time.
The omnipresent pressure here is only secondary. The key is that he can't hear the outside sounds and can't see any light. It is completely dark, and the surrounding space is narrow, as if he is in a confined space. It can be described as the oppressive feeling of Anomaly.
The only thing he can do at the moment is to focus on internal breathing.
He has to do this, because underwater is completely different from on the ground. It is very difficult to capture oxygen here. He must devote himself wholeheartedly to this and fully and reasonably explore every Mutated Tissue that can be used for coordination, so that he can maintain it for a long time.
He Xiaoxing did not leave this time, but waited on the side.
After watching for a while, Chang Ba moved out a folding stool, took out a comic book and sat on the side to read and wait, but after he read it more than ten times, he couldn't help but look at the pit and muttered in his heart, it's been almost two hours and he hasn't come out yet, is something wrong?
But he knew that he was thinking too much. Although He Xiaoxing was standing above, he should have a clear understanding of the surrounding and even the underwater situation. If there was a problem, he would have found a way to pull people up long ago.
Seeing that Chen Chuan might not come up for a while, he simply moved out a barbecue grill, took out skewers of lamb from the refrigerator on the car, and started grilling on the spot.
Before long, a fragrance emerged in the air, and the lamb began to sizzle with oil. He skillfully turned it over and sprinkled seasoning on it.
After grilling, he first handed over a dozen skewers to He Xiaoxing , and then he also ate it happily, muttering to himself while eating, "I'll finish eating if you don't come out."
But the time was longer than he thought. It wasn't until four hours later that He Xiaoxing gestured to him. Chang Ba quickly got up and slowly lowered a rope with a heavy object tied to the top.
Chen Chuan at the bottom of the water was keeping still at the moment. He reduced all necessary consumption, just maintaining his own existence and resisting the invasion of those foreign objects.
At this moment, he felt something hanging down. He seemed to wake up from his silence, moved a little, then grabbed the rope and slowly came up.
Coming out of the pit, at the moment of stepping on the ground, he suddenly had a feeling of seeing the light of day again.
At the same moment, he felt a sense of heaviness and weakness hit his heart. This was because he had consumed a lot of physical energy just now, but as he left the water, under the combined action of internal breathing and external breathing, more oxygen entered his blood, and his Strength was also recovering rapidly.
He went over to take out Nutrition Paste and ate more than a dozen of them in a row before he felt relieved.
At present, only this kind of thing can supplement his consumption. Daily diets are low in nutrition and time-consuming. Apart from satisfying the taste, they are basically useless.
From this, it can be imagined that in old times, those Martial Artist also consumed a lot of resources. Without the support of a large force, they probably would not be able to maintain their consumption at all.
He Xiaoxing waited for him to recover slightly before asking, "Do you feel like you've reached your limit?"
Chen Chuan thought for a while and said frankly, "Even if I haven't, it's about the same."
If using
He Xiaoxing said, "The purpose of exercise is not to squeeze Potential, but to let you grow. This training can be done all the time, and you can adapt slowly, but you must have a clear understanding of your own limits.
If you know it, your Mutated Tissue will also know it. In this way, under sufficient nutrients and the stimulation of Drugs, they will constantly adapt to improve their own upper limit."
Chen Chuan pondered this sentence and couldn't help but ask, "What Teacher He said, is the self-will of Martial Artist playing a role in it?"
He Xiaoxing said, "It's good that you can think of this yourself. The self-will of Martial Artist is very important. Firm belief in oneself can unearth more potential Strength. When expressed externally, it can often create seemingly impossible miracles.
But behind everything there is its inevitable reason. The reason why they can explode with Strength far exceeding their usual level is only because the Potential of Mutated Tissue has not been developed in peacetime, and most of them are sleeping.
Only when you use special means and methods to awaken them will they listen to your dispatch, and willpower is an important part of it. Under normal conditions, it is often not enough to promote it, and many are forced to stimulate it at the juncture of life and death.
But we don't have to be so extreme. First, through external Influence and stimulation, we can gradually activate more Mutated Tissue in the body, consciously mobilize them step by step, and ultimately completely master them."
Chen Chuan nodded, so he could understand. He said, "Teacher He , how long do I need to persist in this training to be considered qualified?"
He Xiaoxing said in a deep voice, "You have roughly reached the requirements for the follow-up process. In the future, you can find ways to draw empty training to practice by yourself. I will arrange the next training for you now."
