Cannon fodder, he just wants to win [Quick Transmigration]

On the way back from the diving platform to the classroom of the training institution, Xie Bujing remained silent.He looked at the blue sky with deep eyes, as if his thoughts were still in that same blue sea.

Duan Yan was a little worried, as if he wanted to say something.But when he saw Xie Bujing's expression, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

After returning to the diving training institution, the coach called Xie Bujing to the office alone.

"Although I don't know why you want to learn shallow water from scratch, that's what our courses are all about. If you want to get more professional training, I suggest you seek help from a competitive diving instructor."

Xie Bu was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "You know me?"

"Of course, otherwise you think we will let novices dive 32 meters for the first time?" The coach laughed, "This is the standard for our four-star visa, and many people can't reach the level after practicing for a lifetime."

Xie Bujing: "Then do you have a coach recommendation?"

The coach nodded and recommended to him a diving training institution on Bohol Island. The founder is the French Alex Abel, who has broken many free diving world records and is still participating in the competition. coach.

The training institution is built on a beautiful coast with a large area, including a 50-meter standard swimming pool for dynamic apnea training, a 30-meter deep pool for deep training, and an outdoor platform for yoga training.

What Xie Bujing didn't expect was that Chinese services were also provided inside.

They were greeted by a middle-aged man who called himself Frank. He had a dark complexion, but his appearance was very typical of Chinese people. He was quite fluent in Chinese. He took the initiative to introduce the founder and coach of the training institution to them, and how many professional divers were trained here.

Finally, they came to a half-open office.

Frank: "Wait here, please, Abel will be right over."

Xie Bujing sat aside with Duan Yan.

Then he found that Frank seemed to be looking at him secretly.

Xie Bujing: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Frank shook his head, "I just think you look familiar."

Xie Bujing was not too surprised: "I have also participated in diving competitions before, and I may have encountered them in the competition."

Frank glanced at Xie Bujing again, then nodded and stopped talking.

Xie Bujing cast his gaze out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

In the swimming pool not far away, several people wearing rubber suits and flippers were doing dynamic apnea training.

Duan Yan calculated the practice time of several players outside, and was a little surprised: "The results are pretty good."

Xie Bujing also noticed: "It looks very professional."

"Of course," said an English voice with a French accent, "welcome to my studio."

A blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged man came in at the door, with particularly well-developed chest and upper body muscles. It was Alex Abel, the founder of this diving studio.

"You want to come to my studio for diving training?"

Xie Bujing nodded.

After understanding the basic situation, Abel quickly left them behind.

There are currently 30 students in the studio, and 12 of them have been studying with Abel all year round. They are all professional freediving athletes or people who aspire to become professional athletes.

In addition to the coach Abel, there are two professional diving assistants, both of whom have achieved good results in the competition.

Freediving is a very small sport. In the early years, it basically relied on athletes to generate electricity for love. World champions had to pay for their own money to participate in the competition.Not to mention sponsorship, except for a very lucky few who can get tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorship, other players are basically equal to none.

Therefore, a considerable number of freediving athletes will engage in side jobs, some as yoga instructors, some as freediving instructors, and those who are stronger and more prestigious will set up their own studios and diving schools.

Abel's studio is quite famous in the industry, and many players have come to participate in the past few years.

The training content is also varied, the main items include static apnea in the swimming pool, dynamic apnea, and 7 depth items trained in the ocean.

Before the training, Abel proposed to know their basic results first.

Xie Bujing's first test item is static breath holding, that is, putting his face in the water to test the breath holding time.

The current men's world record for this event is 11 minutes and 35 seconds, but Xie Bujing is less than half of others.

He didn't even have the idea of ​​hitting the world record, and it's unrealistic to think so far now.

Just want to dive deeper in freediving, long breath hold is a must.

The coach hits the timer.

Xie Bujing took a deep breath and sank his face into the water little by little.

After 2 minutes, he had the desire to breathe.The brain felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

Three minutes later, the carbon dioxide concentration in his blood increased, and he began to feel pain in his body.

The underwater world is very quiet, there are no waves, no currents, and no external things to distract his pain. Xie Bujing can only rely on his willpower to endure the pain and his desire to breathe.

Four minutes later, his body began to become paralyzed due to the buildup of lactic acid.

Blood no longer flows to the extremities, but pools in the brain.

The body is getting more and more painful, and the consciousness of the brain is gradually dissipating...

If it continues, the brain will automatically activate the protection mechanism, cut off consciousness, and let Xie Bujing enter the so-called bo state.

If the athlete loses consciousness during the competition, his achievements will also be voided.

After Xie Bujing realized this, he raised his head from the water a second before fainting, gasping for breath. At this moment, his eyes turned black and he couldn't even stand still.

"Not bad," Abel glanced at the timer, "reaching the median level of our studio."

It wasn't until the oxygen entered the lungs again and the blood flowed back to the limbs that Xie Bujing vaguely recalled the time the coach had just said.

He held his breath for 5 minutes and 02 seconds?This is his best score in history.

But it only reached the median of the club?

"Duan, you go to test it too." Abel said again.

Duan Yan got into the water and floated where Xie Bujing sank just now.

Xie Bujing sat aside and watched Duanyan in the swimming pool, the sequelae of hypoxia still affected him, making his brain still dizzy.

The time on the shore passed much faster than in the water, and 4 or 5 minutes was just a short moment, but it was not until he sank to the bottom of the water and was robbed of his breath that he realized how long those 240 seconds were.

And if he wants to break the world record and go deep into the seabed of 100 meters, he must hold his breath statically for at least 6 minutes.

In a way, freediving is all about fighting pain.

With a "crash", Duan Yan also surfaced.

"3 minutes and 36 seconds," Abel pressed the timer and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's pretty good among rookies."

After a short rest, they performed a dynamic apnea test.

The so-called dynamic breath-holding training is to see how far you can swim in the pool with one breath.The current men's webbed dynamic world record is 31653 meters, and the women's world record is 253 meters.

Xie Bujing changed into the gel suit, put on flippers, and gently slid into the swimming lane.

The swimming pool is 50 meters long and 15 meters deep. Xie Bujing floats in the middle and moves forward slowly.

His body is streamlined, his arms are folded in front of his ears close to his ears, and his kicks are quiet and soft, like a flexible fish.

The consumption of dynamic breath-holding is much greater than that of static breath-holding. Before Xie Bujing reached 50 meters, he had the desire to breathe.

Fortunately, the experience of fishing in the sea has taught him how to reduce the desire for oxygen during exercise.

Finally he touched the edge of the swimming pool in front of him, Xie Bujing supported the wall with one hand to exert a force on himself, and rotated his body gracefully and flexibly.

He started to move on, and his desire to breathe grew stronger.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood increased, making his brain dizzy.

Lactic acid builds up in his thighs, paralyzing his body.

In the end, his dynamic breath holding was 864 meters.

Not a bad result, but unfortunately, it did not reach the 100-meter goal that Xie Bujing wanted.

Next, Abel asked Duan Yan to try again.

"Should I still go?" Duan Yan felt that there was no need. "I'm not participating in the competition. I'm mainly here to learn safety and rescue knowledge."

There is a bearded emergency doctor in Abel's studio, who is also a freediving enthusiast.The funny thing is that it is said that he saw someone fainted in the sea and rushed down to give artificial respiration.

Of course, the person involved patted his chest to assure that this was just a rumor from the outside world, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his character.

But the importance of emergency doctors to freedivers is self-evident.

Freediving is a high-risk sport, and if athletes do not receive proper medical assistance after injuries, they can easily lose their lives.

Duan Yan knows that he cannot share the risk of Xie Bujing's dive, but he can at least ensure Xie Bujing's safety as much as possible.

That's why he is not willing to "waste" time in this kind of movement.

Abel shook his head: "It doesn't matter, you try first."

"Let's try," the bearded doctor also laughed, "If someone doesn't come up, don't we have to dive down to catch him?"

Duan Yan's face darkened, that was the last scene he wanted to see.After a moment of silence, he took the fins and put them on, sinking into the pool.

Or he still remembers the muscle memory of kicking in scuba diving. Duan Yan has a webbed dynamic apnea distance of 72 meters, which has reached the standard of the four-star visa of the World Freediving Association.

Xie Bujing is already an experienced veteran. No one is surprised by this distance, but Duan Yan is just a complete newcomer. After a short training, he has achieved such good results. If he trains seriously, he will definitely have a good result. grades.

The coach felt a little pity: "You really don't think about participating in the competition?"

"Thank you, but no need," Duan Yan slowly shook his head as the image of Xie Bujing on the verge of fainting emerged in Duan Yan's mind, "That's not my goal."

Abel said no more.

After the test, Duan Yan and Xie Bujing joined Abel's team to study.

Duanyan time is divided into two parts, one part is to learn free diving, and the other part is to learn first aid knowledge from the bearded doctor.

And Xie Bujing devoted himself to diving training.

He practiced holding his breath in batches every day. After getting up in the morning, before going to bed at night, and occasionally walking on the road, he would suddenly hold his breath and then sprint quickly.

Even in the bathroom, he would hide in the bathtub to practice while taking a bath.

Once Duan Yan called him outside for a long time, but Xie Bujing didn't respond at all, so scared that Duan Yan rushed into the bathroom, and directly took Xie Bujing under his armpit to fish him out of the bathtub.

The latter was naked all over, and blinked at him blankly: "What are you doing?"

Duan Yan glanced at Xie Bujing's fair and thin body, and blushed a little: "I, I just called your name and you didn't respond, I thought something happened to you..."

"Oh, it's okay." Xie Bujing came out of Duan Yan's arms, and then retracted into the bathtub again, "I'm practicing holding my breath."

"Well, I can see..." Duan Yan looked away, his voice was a little low, "I'm going out first, call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

The bathroom door was closed again, Xie Bujing stepped out of the bathtub barefoot and wiped his body with a towel.

When he touched the hard bones under the skin, he suddenly realized that he was indeed a little thinner.

Unlike other sports, free diving does not require athletes to have super physical strength, and it is more a test of willpower.

Because of this, after Xie Bujing came to this world, he didn't do any special strength training. His current body is not strong at all, and he even has a youthful feeling of frailty, and his face doesn't look bloody, no wonder Duan Yan so worried about him.

Since then, Xie Bujing has added part of his physical training, and he stopped practicing breath-holding in the bathroom, but changed the practice location to the swimming pool in the studio.

Frank was sitting on the shelf above the swimming pool as a security officer, so for a long time, Xie Bujing always thought that Frank was the staff member.

Until one day, two newcomers entered the 30-meter deep-water swimming pool for practice without authorization, and one of them dived too deep and did not have enough oxygen to return.

Frank jumped into the deep pool and dragged the man out, swearing at him.

Xie Bujing asked curiously: "Frank is also a freediving athlete?"

"It should be that Abel found him at a depth of 30 meters." A veteran student who has studied here for a year told Xie Bujing, "Frank he dived with his stomach that time, and was washed away by the undercurrent of the seabed. Hitting the head on the coral, combined with hypoxic fainting, made it impossible to dive for any longer. Abel saw he had nowhere to go and left him here."

"Nowhere to go?"

"Well, he lost his memory after hitting his head."

Xie Bujing's eyes fell on Frank. It was hard to believe that this man with healthy limbs had experienced such a thrilling accident.

In fact, no matter how detailed the current regulations are, freediving is still a high-risk sport.

Many people fainted during diving, injured their lungs and eardrums, spit out pink blood foam, and even died due to untimely rescue...It is already a blessing in misfortune that Frank, who was swept away by the undercurrent, survived up.

Fortunately, Bujing Xie met such an experienced teacher as Alex Able, from whom he learned a lot of useful knowledge.

In just two months, Xie Bujing can hold his breath for nearly 6 minutes statically, and can swim 100 meters dynamically with fins, and his diving depth is getting deeper and deeper, gradually breaking through 50 meters.

But rather than training in the swimming pool, Xie Bujing prefers diving into the open sea.

What he does most often is to go out in the early morning, facing the morning breeze of the Pacific Ocean, sitting on the reef on the shore and exhaling.

At that time, his breath was full of salty sea breeze.

After practicing yoga, the sun basically rose.

The sunrise on the sea is particularly spectacular. The orange sun rises from the sea, and large swathes of pink clouds float in the sky. This is the scenery that Xie Bujing never tires of seeing every day.

After sunrise, Xie Bujing started diving in the sea.

He dived into the bottom of the sea in the morning light, felt the squeeze of the sea water on him, and emptied his mind little by little.

One morning, Xie Bujing and Duan Yan came to the beach again.

However, not long after Xie Bujing dived, he suddenly felt something pushing against his waist, causing his body to arch forward uncontrollably.

Xie Bujing turned his head and saw a huge and slippery creature brushing his face.

Streamlined body, gray skin, pointed mouth, upturned corners of the mouth... Xie Bujing's eyes widened in surprise.

dolphin!

He actually met a dolphin here! !

Bohol Island is a well-known dolphin-watching spot, but Xie Bujing never imagined that he could swim in the sea with dolphins.

Walking with marine life with hairstyles is almost every diver's dream.

The dolphin just gave Xie Bujing a moment, and swam behind him briefly, but turned back quickly.

And the dolphin seemed to think that he had fallen into the water, so it kept pushing its head against Xie Bujing's body.

While arching, it also made whining and chirping sounds, like a little piglet wanting to be touched by its owner.

Xie Bujing had never been so close to an animal before, he glanced at Duan Yan as if asking for help, and raised his hands a little helplessly.

Because the consensus in the diving industry is not to touch any living things on the bottom of the sea. On the one hand, it is to protect yourself, because many marine life are poisonous. On the other hand, human touch can also bring harm to marine life.

Xie Bujing has always firmly abided by this rule.

But what should the dolphin do now that he insists on hitting him?

The dolphin hit the two-legged beast with its head again, and Xie Bujing stepped on the water nimbly to avoid it.

But the dolphin became even more energetic. It seemed that Xie Bujing had drowned, and even started to call for more companions to push him to the surface of the sea.

More than a dozen dolphins swam over one after another, circling around Xie Bujing non-stop.

In the end, Xie Bujing had no choice but to give up resistance and silently accepted the enthusiasm.

He let the dolphin lift himself to the surface, and pretended to be grateful.

The dolphins who have done good deeds finally left, jumping out of semi-circular arcs on the sea surface, hiding their achievements and fame.

Not far away, Duan Yan was slapping him with a goro, laughing so hard that he could barely straighten up.

Xie Bujing: "..."

Although this contact with dolphins came suddenly and ended unexpectedly, it made Xie Bujing's desire to continue diving even stronger.

Anaerobic diving, which is the best way to observe marine life up close.

Although scuba diving can dive for a long time, there will be a bunch of bubbles, which will scare away the animals on the bottom of the sea.

Only anaerobic diving can be silent, as if turning a human into a fish.

Since then, Xie Bujing has been running into the sea more and more frequently, and the depth of diving in training has also become higher and higher.

Two months later, Alex Abel suggested he could play.

Xie Bujing has now held her breath for nearly 7 minutes statically, with webbed dynamics close to 200 meters, and a dive depth close to 90 meters. She is already a group of students with the best results in the studio.

Although freediving is a niche sport, there are more than 100 competitions of all sizes every year.

Xie Bujing is about to participate in a free diving depth challenge held in Bohol Island. In addition to foreign players, there are even three players from China participating.

When they saw Xie Bujing, they came over to greet him enthusiastically, and asked Xie Bujing what his new goal was this time.

Xie Bujing: "I haven't dived for too long, I just want to reach the previous depth."

This is indeed Xie Bujing's sincere words. The original owner's body was the holder of many national records before, but it is already difficult to achieve it.

The male athlete thought that Xie Bujing was deliberately hiding it from him, and began to tease: "No way? Are you afraid that our goal will surpass you?"

Xie Bujing laughed cooperatively: "I didn't expect you to see it."

Because free diving requires athletes to report the depth of the challenge before the competition. If Xie Bujing is challenging 100 meters this time, then in the official competition, the organizing committee will tie the depth tag to the depth of 100 meters underwater. Thank you Don't be surprised, you need to dive to 100 meters, get back the depth tag and return to the surface safely, which is considered to complete the challenge.

Because of this, some people will inquire about other goals before the game, and then temporarily improve their goals to achieve better results.

But everyone is just talking about it, and they won't really do this kind of thing that encourages the growth of seedlings.After all, after exceeding 100 meters, even if it increases by 1 meter, it will be a huge torture to the body.

The Bohol Freediving Depth Challenge consists of three depth events, constant weight with fins (cwt), constant weight without fins (f), and rope climbing (fi).

The original owner previously held national records of 108 meters, 71 meters and 102 meters respectively in these three events.

Xie Bujing has only been learning freediving for less than 5 months, and he doesn't think he can surpass the original owner.

But he felt that it would not be very challenging to repeat the previous depth, so he struggled a few days before the game.

Reason tells him not to be brave, but there is a voice in his heart telling him that you can do it, it is nothing at all, you are still a long way from the world record.

In the last paragraph, I really can't stand it anymore. I suggest that he try to challenge on the first day of the game. If it doesn't work, then lower the depth later.

Xie Bujing felt that this idea was very good, so he reported 110 meters for his constant weight webbed.

However, what Xie Bujing didn't expect was that he dived smoothly the whole time.

Of course, this smoothness does not mean that he did not feel pain.Instead, he did not vomit blood or lose consciousness after returning to the surface.

Xie Bujing returned to the surface of the water relying on his own strength. After three seconds of silence, he took off the nose clip and eyepiece, and loudly said the words "I'm fine" to the referee.

Xie Bujing received a white card, which means that his results in this competition are valid and meet all the regulations of the competition.

This success gave Xie Bujing great confidence.

In the second day of the competition, Xie Bujing successfully completed the 72-meter constant weight challenge without fins. On the third day, he reached 105 meters in the rope climbing dive.

In this competition, he broke the three national records he created a year ago and kept two Asian records.

After that, Xie Bujing participated in several competitions one after another, setting his own best results repeatedly.

On August 2021, 8, at the Rodin World Championships in West Bay, Honduras, Xie Bujing reached 5 meters in the constant weight no-fin event.

On April 2022, 4, in the Bahamas Blue Hole Freediving Depth Challenge, Xie Bujing reached 13 meters in the constant weight and no fin event and won the world bronze medal.

It's a wonderful feeling to push your limits.

However, the aftertaste of the last victory had not yet dissipated, and Xie Bujing soon became dissatisfied.

He fell into the hunger and thirst of pursuing depth, like a beast that tasted meat for the first time, and the desire gave birth to him to continue to challenge the next deeper number.

It also made his body continuously sink into the quiet and dark deep sea.
