Exercising under the sea is not an easy task.

Due to the resistance and pressure of water, it will cause additional load challenges to the body and increase the difficulty of exercise.

And the further you dive, the difficulty increases exponentially.

It is not only the Water Pressure problems that need to be overcome, but also the many Danger problems caused by hypoxia, claustrophobia, and undercurrents.

Among the training items for Diving athletes, there is the practice of carrying weights, diving and climbing up through the guide rope Extreme Speed.

What Fang Cheng wants to do is not that simple.

He plans to dive to the depths of the sea and use this high-pressure environment to perform routine Physical Training just like on land.

That is, conduct "Prisoner's Six Arts" training on the seabed.

Cape splits the waves and stands tall.

The surging waves below hit Reef, turning Bone Fragment pink.

Then it surged again, over and over again, without stopping for a moment.

A group of seabirds hovered near Cape, sometimes flying low over the water, sometimes flying high in the blue sky.

The cries of "Ou" and "Ou" are intertwined with the roar of the waves, as if playing a symphony.

Standing at the top of Cliff, you can overlook the entire sparkling bay and feel the majestic power of the sea.

Fang Cheng felt an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart. He lowered his head and stared at the waves surging at the bottom of Cape.

The world record for high altitude diving is about 50 meters.

The height of this Cape from the water surface is at least 100 meters by visual inspection.

Jump from this height and plunge into the water at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour.

For ordinary people, there is not much difference from hitting Cement directly on the ground.

For those with Supernatural constitution, it also requires great courage.

"Those monsters can do it, so can I!"

Fang Cheng whispered to himself, his eyes becoming extremely firm after making the decision.

Then he took off his clothes, pants, shoes and glasses and hid under a rock.

Then walk to Cliff, take a few deep breaths, and adjust your physical condition.

Then he stepped forward with his right foot, lightly kicked with his left foot, and his whole body jumped out like an arrow from a string.

After jumping a few meters away from Cliff, the sea breeze blew in my face, as if gently lifting my body.

In this feeling of weightlessness, Fang Cheng adjusted his posture and his eyes fell on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the body that jumped up quickly fell downwards under the influence of gravity.

The howling of the wind kept pouring into my ears, and the whole world seemed to be tilting downward.

A flock of frightened seagulls flapped their wings and passed by.

Free Fall is getting faster and faster.

We are about to reach the sea.

Fang Cheng The muscles in his whole body were tense, and he immediately twisted his waist and made a continuous turning and rolling movement.

After staying in the air for a while to slow down the falling speed.

Then, using the standard posture of a diver, he plunged into the rippling blue sea.

Wow!

Gululu--

With splashing water, the whole body quickly sank into the sea water.

Outside sounds were completely cut off, turning into a series of bubbling sounds.

Fang Cheng closed his mouth, opened his eyes, looked around at the scene under the sea, and adapted to the new environment completely surrounded by water.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the patch of gray White Sand gravel that appeared on the seabed.

Then he waved his arms, used his muscle strength to adjust his posture in the water, and plunged into the water.

The sun shines through the water surface, and the light on the seabed reflects the gleaming color of the water.

Fang Cheng stepped on its feet that were as flexible as webbed feet and kept sneaking downwards.

It's like walking through a barrier and entering a familiar and unfamiliar fantasy world.

The colorful Fish Swarm swims around, passing by, making a gurgling sound.

There are also patches of sea anemones swaying their soft tentacles below, as if welcoming new partners to join.

All the surrounding scenes create a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.

As the depth increases, Water Pressure increases and the oxygen content also decreases rapidly.

The surrounding creatures gradually became fewer and fewer, and it began to become completely silent.

When we reached a depth of about ten meters.

Fang Cheng's feet have already stepped on the gravel on the seabed, and a burst of gray-white water mist rippled.

If ordinary people could reach this depth without equipment, the oxygen carried in their lungs would have been exhausted.

If you can't hold on for long, you need to resurface and get fresh air.

Fang Cheng held his breath and seemed to have more than enough.

He first waved his hands and feet calmly, feeling the resistance brought by the sea water.

Then bend down, lie on the sea floor where Volcano Ash and fine gravel are deposited, and start practicing the first form of Prisoner's Six Arts.

Two-handed standard Push-Ups.

Bend your arms and elbows, and lean down to the ground.

Extend your arms, straighten your elbows, lift your chest and back.

The sea water wraps around the body, giving people an unusually bloated feeling.

Every movement he makes seems slower, like slow motion.

Because the muscles must bear additional load and do more work when resisting the resistance brought by sea water.

The pressure at a depth of ten meters should be equivalent to about 2 atmospheres.

That is to say, every square centimeter of area will be subject to about 9.8 to 10 kilograms of pressure.

In such an environment, even doing the most common exercises on land is like carrying an extremely high load all over the body and performing extreme exercise.

Fang Cheng was lying on the bottom of the sea, moving his hands Push-Ups continuously.

After spending nearly two minutes, we reached the 35th hour.

A Prompt Information immediately appeared in the sea water in front of us.

[Push-Ups Experience+1]

In the turbulent gray-white water mist, several Hermit Crabs emerged from the gravel beside them and quickly drifted away.

Fang Cheng stood up slowly on tiptoes, a string of bubbles pouring out of his nostrils.

This is the first time I tried to conduct Physical Training in the underwater environment, and the efficiency is indeed higher than on land.

If you put it during your usual morning exercise.

If you want to increase your experience by 1 point with your own Physical Quality, you must complete at least 60 one-handed Fist Push-Ups to achieve the same effect.

However.

This is still not what I imagined.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly and held his breath in thought.

Because in sea water, while the body experiences resistance, it also enjoys the buoyancy of being lifted upward.

When the body moves downward, it will indeed bear greater pressure load and need to overcome more resistance.

But when you straighten your body upward, you will somewhat rely on the buoyancy of the sea water, which relieves a lot of burden.

"The current depth is not enough..."

For ordinary people, this may already be the limit.

For his monster-like body, it is far from the strength it should be.

Fang Cheng raised his head and looked into the depths of Ocean.

The light brightness here is already relatively dim.

Along the geological structure of the seabed that extends downwards, Volcanic Ash Mud and plankton are floating everywhere.

It seems hazy and unreal.

And the place a few hundred meters away seemed to be completely swallowed up by darkness, vaguely revealing a mysterious Aura.

Fang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, use Eagle Eye Vision to remove the masked Mist.

An extremely magnificent landscape immediately appeared ahead.

It was a huge crack disconnected from the seabed.

It is deep, unpredictable, and stretches across, as if the scars left on Yong'an Island hide unknown mysteries.

After watching this scene, Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly, and he immediately paddled his hands and feet and swam towards that direction.

As we get closer to the crack, there are fewer and fewer Mud and Sand and resident organisms on the seabed.

Until I stepped on a gray-white rock formed by the accumulation of Volcano Ash.

Fang Cheng Feeling the surging water, he slowly walked to the edge of the crack and looked down.

In the dark and silent Trench Abyss, there is nothing but black.

Even with Eagle Eye Vision there is no end in sight.

It was like a bottomless pit, revealing a deep cold that pierced people's hearts.

But beneath this seemingly calm surface, there are unpredictable undercurrents.

The surrounding seawater is affected by some huge suction force, which never stops and endlessly pours into it.

This scene is like a miraculous natural wonder.

If Bathophobia people are lucky enough to see it, I am afraid that their heart will throb and they will faint on the spot.

Fang Cheng doesn't have much fear, but his adrenaline hormones explode.

The whole person became extremely excited, with strong expectations in his eyes.

Standing on a piece of Volcanic Rock that stretches out abruptly towards Seafloor Rift.

Fang Cheng Keep your feet steady and slowly spread your arms.

There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!

Looking up at the sea surface, which is dozens of meters away from here, it looks like clouds.

The light shines dimly and faintly, as if summoning the power of nature to help the body break through its limits again.

Water from all directions followed the call and rushed toward the body.

It squeezed every inch of skin and every cell heavily, causing obvious pressure in the chest and ears.

This kind of pressure not only causes physical discomfort, but also brings a feeling of suffocation and dizziness, as if being imprisoned by water and making it difficult to move.

"First do a set of Squats to warm up."

Feeling the resistance brought by the huge Water Pressure around, Fang Cheng silently turned on Focus Skill and officially entered the exercise state.

Beside the dark and deep Trench, there are rugged rocks and protruding cliffs.

A naked, muscular figure, standing in this desperate situation that ordinary people cannot reach, is doing Weight Training that exceeds human limits.

"..."

"35."

"36."

The figure kneels down calmly and slowly stands upright.

Suddenly, his shoulders swayed slightly and his body fell backwards, as if he had been washed out of balance by the current.

But in an instant, Exert Force, the back of the waist, twisted back abruptly and stood up again.

Then, continue to do the Squats exercise calmly and vigorously.

"37."

"38."

"..."

"50."

Stick to 50 reps and successfully complete a set of exercises.

Fang Cheng exhaled slightly, and a string of fine blisters emerged from his nostrils.

Like a gray-black curtain on the bottom of the sea, Panel flashes light blue, showing the gains from practicing the skills just now.

[Squats Experience+6]

Although the number of repetitions is relatively small, the efficiency is more than ten times that of normal training on land.

Because the water depth where Fang Cheng is now is more than forty meters, which is equivalent to a pressure of five atmospheres.

This Training method is not simply like carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight for exercise on land.

Rather, every inch of muscle, bone, and even internal organs in the body is always under pressure caused by the huge Water Pressure, overcoming this resistance that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

While the efficiency has been greatly improved, there is also a great Danger effect on exercising in such a place.

For example, you may occasionally be attacked by turbulent undercurrents, and you may be accidentally swept away and fall into the Abyss under the crack.

This is exactly why Fang Cheng did not choose to be Single-Leg Squats.

Of course, in the process of adapting to the instability of the water flow, Coordination and Balance Ability are actually exercising their bodies.

After completing a set of Squats training.

Fang Cheng only rested for half a minute, then stretched out his hands, bent down and grabbed the protruding part of the rock under his feet.

Then slowly lower your body into the crack, using the rock as a support point, and start practicing One-Handed Pull-Up.

If you are in the normal position as before, the buoyancy of seawater will offset part of your own weight, and the effect of practicing Pull-Ups will definitely be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, this Trench will produce a suction force, which greatly reduces the upward buoyancy and makes the body feel like it is suspended.

In this way, Fang Cheng tightened the strength of his arms and shoulders in the undercurrent, and continued to drop and stretch.

After completing 50 times, practice Hanging Leg Raise in the same way.

After that, Back Bridge, Handstand Push-Ups, Push-Ups, and Prisoner's Six Arts were used one by one to gradually detect Training Effect.

When all actions were successfully completed Group Five, more than an hour had passed.

With Talent owning "Water Breathing", Fang Cheng can hold his breath in the water for far longer than Supernatural can.

Although it does not have long gills, it can directly filter and absorb oxygen from seawater like fish.

But it also makes him like a whale, with an extremely efficient breathing method.

Whales are mammals and also rely on lungs to breathe.

They have large lung capacity and higher hemoglobin and myoglobin concentrations than humans, which allows them to complete their oxygen reserves within a few minutes and then maintain Diving activities for a long time.

For example, adult blue whales can breathe underwater for nearly 30 minutes, and sperm whales can even hold their breath underwater for two hours.

Fang Cheng never returned to the sea surface to replace the air in his lungs during the exercise.

Instead, he kept on training and testing his own limits.

As the amount of exercise increases, blood circulation accelerates and body surface temperature rises.

Fang Cheng even has a vague feeling.

The open pores all over his body seem to have begun to participate in breathing, and can absorb weak oxygen from the sea water.

Just when doing the sixth set of Push-Ups exercises.

Suddenly, I felt as if there was a thousand pounds Jushi pressed on my chest, and I was a little out of breath.

Then the heart beat slowed down and the limbs began to feel weak.

Fang Cheng realized that he was close to the limit, so he immediately exited the concentration state.

Then, while holding his breath, he pushed hard on the rocks on the seabed with his feet, and with the help of buoyancy, he slowly swam up in a controlled rhythm.

As we get closer to the water, the surrounding light becomes brighter, and the seawater gradually loses its gray-black color and becomes as clear as emerald.

The sounds from the outside world gradually became noisier, and the sounds of bubbles bursting and the waves of Fish Swarm swimming by seemed particularly clear.

Until one head breaks through the rippling sea surface, all the sights and sounds are instantly magnified several times, as if returning to a world full of Level Up, dynamic light and shadow.

A large group of seagulls circled in the sky, making a clear cry.

The noisy tide also comes and goes with the chirping of birds, and the sound reaches my ears.

"Hu------"

Fang Cheng Take a deep breath of fresh air and feel the freedom from extreme oppression to freedom from restraint.

The blue sky appeared in front of me, the towering Cape, and the shining Panel also appeared.

[Focus Experience+3]

[Push-Ups Experience+36]

[Squats Experience+32]

[Leg Raises Experience+21]

[Pull-Ups Experience+23]

[Back Bridge Experience+20]

[Handstand Push-Ups Experience+27]

Experience Points looks at the gains from this undersea weight-bearing training.

Fang Cheng wiped his wet face and hair, showing a happy smile.

In particular, the progress of this skill Push-Ups is particularly eye-catching.

[Push-Ups lv2(347/500)]

According to this efficiency, it should be successfully upgraded to LV3 Grandmaster-level in a few days.

The efficiency is so high that it feels like going back to the time when I first exercised, or even far beyond.

And there is another advantage: it can completely isolate you from the prying eyes of outsiders.

Feeling the increased fatigue in his body due to the change in air pressure, Fang Cheng raised his head and looked at the height of Sun.

It's already noon, so I don't plan to dive back to the bottom of the sea and continue exercising.

"Come back tomorrow."

Fang Cheng whispered to himself, a new idea came into his mind.

Next time, you might try practicing Pile Stance and Breathing Technique underwater.
