Chapter 75 Only cowards without testicles go scuba diving.
Ivy and Liu Qing stared in astonishment as they watched Xu An tame this ferocious sea monster like a beast tamer.
Xu An attributed all of this to the "fish-like physique".
He chased the shark away, while Ivy and Liu Qing watched from the sidelines.
If we were to tame this shark like a wild animal, things would get complicated later.
As they continued to descend deeper, the sunlight shining through the water was gradually swallowed by darkness.
When they reached the 70-meter mark, Xu An signaled to Ivy and Liu Qing not to go any further.
The two women shook their heads and gestured to act together.
Xu An firmly refused.
He wanted to try entering the hydrogen sulfide-dehydrated layer to see if the fish's body could withstand it.
Under Xu An's firm stance, Ivy and Liu Qing began to slowly rise to relieve the pressure.
Xu An continued downwards alone.
90 m.
Hydrogen sulfide oxygen-free layer.
There is no visible light here.
However, with his exceptional ability to see with keen eyes, darkness could not obstruct Xu An's vision.
Having officially entered the hydrogen sulfide anoxic layer, Xu An attempted to breathe independently.
It was found that there was no significant impact.
To ensure everything went smoothly, he stayed a little longer, and only after confirming there were no adverse effects did he begin to float upwards.
The hydrogen sulfide anoxic layer has no light, no fish, only a few dead fish and crabs.
Ivy and Liu Qing stayed in the water to decompress, exchanging simple gestures with each other.
Before long, Xu An reappeared in their sight.
After a brief exchange, the three of them quietly stayed in the water to decompress, and after decompression, they floated to the surface together.
The moment the three of them surfaced, they removed their mouthpieces and let out a long breath.
They climbed onto the boat.
The three of them took off the gas cylinders they were carrying.
"Xu, you were underwater just now..." Ivy's words were interrupted by a sarcastic voice.
"Oh!"
"Scuba diving is for cowards without balls and women. True warriors do freediving! That's the symbol of a real man!"
There weren't many people on the boat. Besides Xu An and his two companions who had just boarded, there were also Yuan Jing and a few others.
All eyes turned to the man who had spoken.
He was wearing swim trunks and flippers, revealing his hairy chest.
That's right, the person speaking was Dawson, who had previously tried to chat up Ivy and was told he was ill-mannered.
Ivy and Liu Qing frowned.
Yang Zhenghong couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Damn! This gorilla's pretending to be a jerk!"
Xu Zhao angrily muttered, "Is this guy out of his mind? He's a freediving enthusiast and he looks down on us scuba divers."
Yuan Jing frowned, looking at Dawson with hostility, but said nothing.
"What are you looking at, you Chinese monkey! I'm talking to you!"
Seeing Xu An looking at him, Dawson did not hesitate to turn his attention directly to Xu An.
Xu An frowned. Had she offended him?
"Oh, oh, oh~" Yang Zhenghong whispered, "This gorilla is targeting that guy, definitely because of the beautiful woman next to him. This is going to be interesting."
Yuan Jing frowned and hissed, "Don't talk nonsense! That gorilla clearly looks down on us Chinese!"
Xu Zhao nodded in agreement: "Yes, I wish I could go up there and beat him up right now."
Yang Zhenghong's smile froze, feeling somewhat out of place, and he quickly composed himself.
"I don't think I've offended you in any way, have I?" Xu An said, frowning.
Before Dawson could even speak, his buddies next to him burst into laughter.
"Hey, Dawson, he says he hasn't offended you."
"Chinese people are all like this, like cowards."
"Hahaha, Dawson, this Chinese kid doesn't even know what he did to offend you."
Dawson ignored his companions' laughter and looked at Xu An: "Chinese monkey, scuba diving is for spineless cowards. Dare to try freediving?"
Even a clay figure has a bit of temper.
"How do you want to play?" Xu An asked, frowning.
Dawson chuckled: "Very well, you Chinese monkey, your audacity is astounding..."
"Enough with the nonsense, how do we play?" Xu An interrupted him abruptly.
Wow!
Several of Xu An's companions cheered loudly at his counterattack, adding fuel to the fire: "Dawson, this Chinese kid has guts!"
"He looks down on you, Dawson."
Dawson, whose face darkened when he was abruptly interrupted, said, "One breath, let's compare diving depth."
"Whoever dives deeper wins."
"Okay," Xu An readily agreed.
"If we're going to play, let's raise the stakes. If you lose, I want you to apologize to me in front of everyone and admit you're a spineless piece of trash. If I lose, I'll give you ten thousand dollars and admit you're a spineless coward. Do you dare?"
Xu An raised an eyebrow and said provocatively.
Upon hearing this, Dawson's expression changed. "Very good!"
"I'm raising the stakes. If you lose, I'll make sure you stay away from this beautiful lady."
Xu An glanced at Ivy and readily agreed.
He knew he had suffered an undeserved calamity; the ancients were right to say that beautiful women bring disaster.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Ivy didn't utter a single word, acting as if everything was unrelated to her, serving as a mere bystander.
"Xu An..." Liu Qing wanted to say something, but Xu An raised his hand to stop her.
Although both scuba diving and freediving are forms of diving, they are completely different systems.
One relies on a portable gas cylinder, while the other depends entirely on a single breath from the lungs.
Freediving is just as dangerous as scuba diving, although it's not so bad at depths of three to five meters or eight or nine meters.
However, if you are diving to great depths and don't calculate the amount of air in your lungs properly, you could very well suffocate on the way back due to lack of oxygen.
Xu An took off all his gear, not even his flippers.
He wanted to use his strength to give this outspoken guy a good slap in the face.
"Xu An, freediving is different from scuba diving. Please don't push yourself. Isn't it a bit too much to go without fins?" Liu Qing said worriedly.
"Don't worry," Xu An said succinctly.
Seeing this, Yang Zhenghong, who was watching the show, muttered to himself, "Tch, still trying to show off at a time like this, not even wearing flippers, what are they pretending for?"
Xu Zhao frowned. "Yuan Jing, do you think this guy is being a bit too arrogant? He's not even wearing flippers."
Yuan Jing didn't speak, but his brows were furrowed.
"Go Xu An! Defeat this guy who looks down on us Chinese and show him what we're made of!" Gao Qianxun clenched her fist and waved it to cheer Xu An on.
"Xu, keep going! I believe you won't lose," Ivy said with a smile, seemingly not worried at all that Xu An would lose.
Seeing Xu An surrounded by three beautiful women, Dawson's face twisted into a ferocious grin: "Chinese monkey! Are you ready?!"
"I'll show you what freediving is all about in a minute. It's something a coward like you who only does scuba diving can't compete with!"
His companions all shouted.
"Go Dawson, show this Chinese kid what a real man is!"
"Hey! Dawson, this guy isn't even wearing flippers. If you lose, I'll laugh at you for a year."
"Dawson, kill him!"
Dawson's lips curled into a provocative, disdainful smile.
Xu An remained expressionless and calm, not even glancing at him directly.
"Jump!"
The two jumped into the water at the same time.
