The Meditation Skill successfully upgraded, and the Breathing Technique operated as desired, ultimately giving birth to "True Qi" that can function detached from the body.
This was the moment to truly showcase the power of Qigong.
In the earpiece, screams followed one after another.
A Jie’s heart thumped wildly, and even with the breathing apparatus, he felt a tightness in his chest, nearly suffocating.
Surrounding him were the sounds of water being sliced open as other team members were frantically swimming toward the surface.
Seeing this, A Jie simply discarded his air tank to speed up his ascent.
Under this situation, it wasn’t about who could swim faster, but who wouldn’t be the last in the team.
As A Jie’s hands nearly touched the surface, he could already see the swaying ship’s railings through the bright "Light Tunnel exit."
It was at this moment, however, that he faintly heard a slight yet piercing whistling sound.
His heart skipped a beat, and without any hesitation, he unleashed his Special Ability.
Hair bristling in the wind, it was as though steel needles were instantly piercing out from his wetsuit.
He transformed into a hedgehog-like figure; as he defended himself, dozens of steel needles shot out from his back.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, he counterattacked towards the direction of the sound.
It seemed the strategy worked, as the mysterious and unknown remote attacks from the opponent were quickly neutralized.
A Jie’s heart relaxed for a moment, and he forcefully propelled himself upward.
Finally, he emerged from the oppressively dark "Tunnel," back to the surface of the sea.
"What happened down there?"
Amidst the howling wind and roaring waves, Li Chengjun’s voice faintly drifted into his ears.
"Down there... that person..."
A Jie had just caught his breath, ready to reply, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back as if something had pierced through it.
Following that, a heart-wrenching pain surged through him, and with a start, he realized his carelessness.
The opponent’s remote attack was actually serialized and seemed to be targeting him alone.
A Jie’s mouth opened as he struggled to look around.
He saw that of those who escaped to heaven, only he and two other team members remained.
And those two team members seemed unharmed, already swiftly climbing onto the ship.
How envious! Their luck is even better than mine...
Witnessing this scene, A Jie’s eyes dimmed; before blood could well up in his throat, his mouth was filled with gurgling seawater, and soon, his consciousness sank into darkness.
Li Chengjun stood with one foot on the ship’s rail, his eyes dark and gloomy.
Initially, upon hearing the screams through the walkie-talkie, he considered diving into the sea to provide Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
But in the blink of an eye, out of ten elite Pursuer Team Members, only two were left alive, even A Jie with his Special Ability could not escape the disaster.
At this moment, his heart couldn’t help but waver with uncertainty.
After listening to the survivors report the specific events that occurred under the sea, he took a deep breath and ordered:
"Notify the other two teams to come here and regroup immediately!"
At the seabed fissure, darkness and silence returned.
Fang Cheng, after consecutively eliminating nine enemies, did not continue pursuing the attack.
Since it was his first time using True Qi in battle, the lack of control left the Qi in his Dantian somewhat chaotic.
He then paused briefly for meditation, rotating the Breathing Technique a few times.
After roughly returning to normal, he looked up at the dark sea surface.
His gaze followed the Light Tunnel upwards, where he could see the shadows of two ships, clearly indicating the presence of many enemies above.
However, Fang Cheng had no intention of re-engaging in battle at the moment.
Because there was something even more important that required him to make a timely decision.
That was the choice that had been interrupted by the enemy’s attack.
The synthesis of exclusive Skills.
