Chapter 77 He's practically a superman!
"Xu An, you're so cool! So awesome! You actually held your breath underwater for five minutes!" Gao Qianxun was the most excited and blurted out.
Liu Qing also looked at Xu An with excitement in her eyes.
"Xu, you're amazing!" Ivy gave a thumbs up.
the other side.
Yang Zhenghong was dumbfounded and muttered to himself, "Holy crap, that's incredible, they actually came back alive."
Xu Zhao slapped him on the shoulder. "What are you talking about?"
A flicker of excitement flashed in Yuan Jing's eyes, and he said with certainty, "Very impressive."
Everyone had already sentenced Xu An to death, and a sense of sadness had begun to permeate the air. Who knew that he would actually come back alive!
Now everyone understood why he was so confident in making the bet with the other party.
If you don't have real skills, how dare you be so arrogant?
"Hey!"
Dawson interrupted them angrily.
"So what if this kid pulls out alive!"
"We're not competing to hold our breath underwater, we're competing to see who can dive the deepest!"
"I dived 60 meters, kid, how deep did you dive?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and looked at the diving computer watch on Xu An's wrist.
Xu An raised his wrist and glanced at the numbers displayed on the screen.
"Sorry, you lost."
"I dived 90 meters."
When he uttered the number "90 meters," everyone was shocked.
As Dawson mentioned before, 90 meters is the hydrogen sulfide-free layer and also the light-free layer. It's unbelievable that Xu An was able to dive that deep in one go and return safely.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Dawson vehemently denied it!
He ran over, grabbed Xu An's hand, and looked down at the diving computer.
When he saw the 90 meters displayed above, he was stunned.
"How is this possible!"
"You cheated! You must have used your previous scuba diving records!"
Dawson couldn't believe that such slanderous words came out of his mouth so easily.
Xu An chuckled. "We checked the dive computer before going into the water. Now you're denying it after losing?"
As he spoke, Xu An turned to his friends and asked, "Are your friends always like this? They cheat when they lose and slander others out of thin air?"
Dawson's friends looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"asshole!"
"How could I possibly be a sore loser!" Dawson roared.
"You dived 60 meters, I dived 90 meters, who wins and who loses?" Xu An asked calmly.
Dawson was speechless.
"If you can't handle losing, don't play. Go home and drink your mother's milk," Liu Qing said sarcastically, arms crossed.
"This is what you call a real man? Even God would laugh." Ivy made no attempt to hide the disdain in her eyes.
"Gorilla, a bet is a bet. If you can't handle losing, you should go home and find your mother." Gao Qianxun was also excited to join the group.
Their words made Dawson's face turn as black as coal.
When he looked at his friends, hoping they would say a few words for him, he noticed that their eyes also held a strange look.
"Dawson, we lost, so what? Don't let people from other countries look down on us!" a friend couldn't help but say.
In an instant, Dawson felt isolated from everyone.
He took a deep breath and looked at Xu An, who had a calm expression and a playful smile on his lips.
He suppressed the urge to punch him in the face.
"sorry."
He said stiffly.
"That's it? Can't accept defeat?" Xu An raised an eyebrow and said.
Now, Dawson's temples throb whenever he hears the words "can't afford to lose".
"sorry!"
He bowed deeply, "It was my foul mouth, it was my rudeness, please forgive me!"
"Hmm?" Xu An made a nasal sound.
Dawson suppressed his anger.
"I'm a piece of trash without eggs."
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and tried to leave.
But on a boat, no matter how far he goes, he can't get very far.
So he suddenly jumped into the sea.
"Bang!"
A splash of water rose up.
His friends looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
On the other hand, Ivy, Liu Qing, and others praised Xu An for his abilities.
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. 90 meters! What does that even mean!
He's practically a superman!
Yuan Jing and the others, who had been watching quietly from a distance, also came up.
"Hello Xu An, I'm Gao Qianxun's friend. My name is Yuan Jing. You're very impressive." Yuan Jing smiled and extended his hand.
Xu An was taken aback, then reached out and shook hands with him.
"Xu An, my name is Xu Zhao, it's nice to meet you."
"Hello there."
As he spoke, Xu Zhao clenched his fist and exclaimed excitedly, "You did a fantastic job! I've been fed up with that Dawson guy for ages, he always acts so arrogant. This time you really gave him a good slap in the face, it was so satisfying!"
Yang Zhenghong pursed his lips. "My name is Yang Zhenghong."
"Hello there."
Everyone surrounded Xu An, praising him profusely. He was treated like a star, making him feel quite embarrassed.
[Current task progress: 14%]
Xu An glanced at the task progress bar.
The task only displays a progress bar, without explaining which tasks Xu An has completed.
As he descended, he glanced at the progress bar; it had previously been 13%, but now it had become 14%, a mere 1% increase.
Xu An was unsure whether his freediving to a depth of 90 meters in the hydrogen sulfide-free zone constituted breaking a world record.
If we calculate it, a 1% increase is not scientific.
If that doesn't count, then what about the 1% increase?
I can't figure it out, it's giving me a headache.
I decided to stop thinking about it and focus on exploring the ten most famous underwater caves in the world first.
Then, using the process of elimination, complete the unfinished tasks.
Xu An had considered his decision to dive only to 90 meters. If he were to dive any deeper, into the toxic hydrogen sulfide-rich oxygen-free layer and return safely, news of his failure might get out, and certain people with ulterior motives might target him.
It's always better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.
Ivy and Liu Qing went back to scuba diving, while Xu An went freediving by himself.
He didn't think freediving was any more advanced than scuba diving, but compared to scuba diving, freediving made Xu An feel more relaxed, and his fish-like physique made him feel right at home in the sea.
Swimming freely in the sea without worrying about breathing, whether swimming sideways, upside down, on your back, or doing fancy swimming, Xu An felt like a fish, free in all directions.
While freediving, Dawson suddenly saw Xu An alone in the water. Remembering what had happened on the boat, his anger exploded and rushed to his brain.
He swam quickly toward Xu An.
Xu An seemed to sense something, and when he turned his head, he saw a figure already close at hand, throwing a punch at him.
Xu An quickly turned his head. Dawson was about to pounce on him, but Xu An swayed his foot and darted away.
Dawson, his eyes red, continued to chase, looking as if he was determined to kill Xu An.
Xu An surfaced, followed closely by Dawson.
"Dawson! What do you want to do!" Xu An frowned.
Dawson grinned menacingly. "Your grandpa Dawson has never been treated like this before. It's not unusual for someone to accidentally drown while freediving, is it?"
After saying that, Dawson pounced on him.
Xu An's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Dawson to suddenly become murderous and want to kill him here.
Without hesitation, Xu An suddenly dove into the sea.
Dawson followed closely behind.
Xu An deliberately slowed down, letting Dawson follow behind him.
Dawson wanted to kill Xu An, but Xu An couldn't do it himself. If someone saw him doing it, he would become the murderer.
Xu An has always been a law-abiding and good person.
However... repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with evil has always been his principle.
Since Dawson wants to kill me, it's perfectly reasonable for me to want to kill him too, right?
Just as Dawson was enraged and chasing after Xu An, all his attention was on Xu An, and he did not notice a shark rushing towards him like an arrow in the water.
"Pfft!"
The shark suddenly bit down on his leg.
A splash of crimson, like ink spreading, instantly engulfed the seawater. The intense pain nearly made Dawson faint. He kept his mouth tightly shut, afraid of letting out a breath.
Looking at his leg, which revealed stark white bone, the fear of death made him abandon his pursuit of Xu An and start swimming upstream.
But the shark returned and continued charging towards Dawson.
Dawson looked terrified and frantically dug at his feet.
His swimming skills are good, but no matter how good he is, can he be better than a shark?
Moreover, two more sharks appeared in his line of sight, charging towards him.
Despair rose in his heart.
The three sharks instantly left Dawson's body mangled and broken.
On his deathbed, he saw Xu An floating not far away.
Xu An crossed his arms and watched this scene quietly, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Seeing the three sharks circling around Xu An and nuzzling him affectionately, Dawson's pupils contracted. In his dying moments, a shocking and worldly thought popped into his mind.
Xu An can command these sharks?!
Unfortunately, he never learned the truth before he died.
Xu An waved his hand, and the three sharks restrained their urge to eat and began to tear at Dawson's body, pushing it towards the surface of the sea.
