Soul echo

Chapter 548 Exercise
"Teacher, what are you going to do?"

It is night now, and the fleet has dropped anchor in the waters nearer to the shore, but even at this time, there are people keeping watch at night to avoid accidents.

Together with Lilian, the night watchman leaned against the ship's side, looking at the calm sea water beside the ship.

The sea water reflected bright light under the moonlight, making it difficult for people to see clearly what was going on under the sea surface.

But Lilian knew that Zhong Ye had already run into the sea.

After a while, Zhong Ye emerged from the sea water, panting heavily.

"I suddenly discovered my shortcomings." Zhong Ye raised his head and replied earnestly, "I don't know much about underwater combat, and I can't breathe underwater. If there is a battle under the sea, it will be extremely disadvantageous to me."

His body density has surpassed that of sea water, and he cannot float freely in the sea water.

If the fight takes place below the surface, he also needs to be distracted to control the water around him.

Zhang Qian also said before that during the voyage of the next one to two months, there will be countless dangers like ghost ships, and there should be many times when he needs to help. Therefore, he needs to master the underwater combat skills in advance .

"Teacher, are you training how to fight underwater?" Lilian asked.

"No, I breathe in the exercise water." Zhong Ye replied seriously.

...Wait, is there something wrong!

Lilian's eyes widened, "Can breathing in water be exercised?"

"Why not?" Zhong Ye frowned and asked, loudly, "It takes tens of thousands of years for a winged man to grow wings. As a legend, why can't I learn to breathe in water?"

If she remembered correctly, her teacher should be from Earth, right?Is this the way people on Earth should think? !

Moreover, how can one learn to breathe in water based on the legend? Is there any necessary connection between the two?
Looking at Zhong Ye, Lilian fell into deep thought.

Lilian didn't speak any more, and Zhong Ye also breathed enough oxygen, removed the psionic energy under his feet, and submerged himself in the sea water again.

Zhong Ye still knows his own body structure very well. As a human being, it is definitely impossible for him to use his mouth and nose to breathe. His lungs do not support this function. Even if he is a legend, he cannot do this kind of thing.

Unless he built a structure in his mouth to filter seawater, it would be impossible to breathe through his mouth and nose.

However, even if he can filter seawater, how to discharge seawater is also a problem, so it is absolutely impossible to breathe in water with his lungs.

Wanting to breathe in the water, and use breathing to drive the flow of extraordinary factors to generate new 'qi', Zhong Ye's idea is to combine breathing with skin and swimming.

Human skin is capable of breathing, but the amount of oxygen it breathes is too small to support the body's normal metabolism, let alone activate cells with extraordinary factors and squeeze out 'qi'.

If you hold your breath all the time, there is no way to expel the exhaust gas in the body. The exhaust gas has been accumulated in the body, which will cause many problems.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve. The underwater battle will not last too long. He can completely metabolize the waste produced by his body through the 'kidneys', temporarily store it in the urine, and then discharge it together after the battle. At the same time, he can also use the Sweat glands, which excrete the exhaust air through sweat before it enters the lungs.

This will definitely cause a lot of water to be excreted from the body. However, sea water will definitely not lack water. As long as he can filter out the salt, he can directly absorb the water in the sea water through the skin.

At the same time, oxygen may be more easily absorbed by the skin after the salt is filtered out.

Let the kidneys metabolize all the waste in the body and use sweat to expel exhaust gas. These two points are easy to solve. Zhong Ye was able to do it before he became a legend. However, how to use the skin to absorb water and oxygen is still a difficult problem, which he has not solved at all. train of thought.

Zhong Ye didn't stop exercising when he was thinking. Although this would consume a lot of oxygen, his idea was to use exercise to breathe the oxygen in the seawater.

What should I do to breathe enough oxygen through my skin...

…………

"Brother Zhong, what are you doing?"

Zhong Ye's behavior in the past two days was very strange, he would jump into the sea and swim with the team.

Although this is indeed a 'good' exercise method, it is suitable for a 'grandmaster' like Zhong Ye.

However, Zhang Qian still felt a little weird.

Because Zhong Ye is not only exercising, but also occasionally catches the fish that pass by the fleet. Because he is under the sea surface, Zhang Qian can't see what he is doing at all.

Therefore, Zhang Qian came to Lilian to ask a question.

"teacher……"

Just after saying this word, Lilian hesitated, she didn't know how to explain this matter to Zhang Qian.

Does she have to say "teacher wants to learn how to breathe water"?

However, Lilian wasn't the only one who heard Zhong Ye's answer at that time. A passenger happened to pass by them and heard Zhang Qian's question, so he said, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye seems to be learning to breathe in water."

His room was close to where Zhong Ye was that night, so he heard Zhong Ye's answer.

"Breathe in water?" Zhang Qian was stunned.

He blinked his eyes, looked at Lilian, and saw a little embarrassment on her face, and realized that this was true.

Zhang Qian thought for a while and asked, "Does Brother Zhong know magic?"

"No..." Lilian shook her head in confusion.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian frowned, "How can humans learn to breathe in water? This is not magic!"

For people on earth, the existence of 'magic' in the real world is more surprising than 'water breathing', right?

Lilian found sadly that her way of thinking was irreversibly tilting towards Dan's world. For her, spells seemed to have become a more common thing that "humans learn to breathe in water".

If one were to ask which of these two things was more normal, she would definitely answer 'spell' now...but which one is outrageous?

Whoa!

Lilian and the others heard the sound of a rising wave, turned their heads and saw Zhong Ye coming out from under the sea.

"Brother Zhong, why don't you forget about it?" Zhang Qian yelled at Zhong Ye, "It is impossible for human beings to learn to breathe in water!"

But Zhong Ye shook his head, didn't even take a few breaths, and dived into the water again.

"Brother Zhong...why don't you listen to persuasion?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly, shaking his head and sighing.

"Teacher is like this." Lilian lay lazily on the side of the boat, looking at the figure swimming under the water, "I don't like to listen to people's persuasion, and he is quite stubborn, but it may be because of this that he can grow up to this day To this extent..."

From Zhong Ye, Lilian learned about his past experience, whether it was going to the wilderness in winter for exercise, but met a tiger and had to kill it with bare hands, or faced a tiger with all the external equipment removed. Power Armor didn't give up easily either.

These things are incomprehensible and unimaginable to ordinary people, very outrageous and absurd, but Zhong Ye did just that.

Although he hadn't used the power armor, the driver of the power armor later said that even with the protection of the armor, he still felt uncomfortable, and his internal organs and capillaries were slightly damaged.

At that time, Zhong Ye was still a pure earthling, and he did that kind of thing with the extreme physical fitness of an earthling.

If she didn't know that Zhong Ye wouldn't lie, Lilian almost thought he was bragging - how could such outrageous things happen in the real world?

Just when Lilian was recalling these things, Zhong Ye suddenly broke through the water and jumped onto the boat.

Looking at Zhong Ye who was only wearing a pair of shorts, Lilian blushed slightly, "I won't continue exercising today? Or did something else happen?"

"No." Zhong Ye shook his head, driving Gang Qi to expel all the water attached to the body surface.

"—I've learned it!"

...No, is this really something that can be learned with perseverance and talent?
Lilian was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhong Ye with terrified eyes.

She felt that her three views had suffered a severe blow...

——How can humans learn to breathe in water?It would be fine if he was a person from Dan World, but Zhong Ye is an extremely pure earth human being!

Can people on earth really learn to breathe in water?Or is Zhong Ye no longer a pure human being?
