Chapter 88: 【081】Underwater Realization, The Softness of Dark Force

The hardness of Dark Force can shatter stones and break monuments.

The softness of Dark Force can nourish the internal organs.

At this moment, Wang Longhu’s eyes lit up, truly secretly delighted.

Before this, when he wielded Dark Force, it was always used to kill enemies and increase the destructive power of punches, but who could have thought that Dark Force could also cleanse the internal organs, making the body’s interior more resilient?

Normally, when martial artists exchange blows, unless they’ve practiced iron body techniques, then taking a heavy hit to the abdomen or chest will affect the heart and lungs, causing internal injuries, depleting their strength. They may appear uninjured on the outside, but internally they’re quite harmed.

Compared to external injuries, internal injuries need to be treated for several months before they can heal; this is the frightening aspect of Dark Force.

Even if struck on the arm or back with Dark Force once, it’ll leave an internal injury that won’t heal for several months.

To prevent such injuries, all martial artists can do is strengthen their internal organs.

Wudang martial arts includes a technique called ’Wudang pure yang great skill’, which, through long-term inhaling, closing, exhaling combined with various training movements, strengthens the inner organs.

Internal martial arts also include methods like the four tips and five organs energy formula to enrich the internal organs, Tai Chi also has top heart rotation method, fetal breathing method, palace breathing method, etc., aimed at training the inner organs.

The reason Dark Force is called ’dark’ lies in its mystical nature at this level.

If it’s unleashed to strike acupuncture points, it can also temper the body’s internal organs and bones.

Thinking of the trick, Wang Longhu immediately tried to tremble his bones, letting vital energy penetrate his inner organs, but did not expect this step to be extremely difficult. The resonance with thunder just now was purely accidental, similar occurrences wouldn’t easily happen again.

"The environment here doesn’t give me enough pressure, it can’t squeeze out my limits."

After a few minutes of trying, Wang Longhu realized the problem. The reason he could tremble his whole body just now was due to the instinctive trepidation upon suddenly hearing thunder.

This is an instinct of humans, unavoidable.

But once Wang Longhu had mental preparedness, even frequent thunder couldn’t scare him anymore, thus he had to find a more dangerous environment where he could squeeze his potential to do the impossible.

After gaining insight, Wang Longhu immediately left Ye Yuanpei’s place, sprinting through the night towards the seaside.

...

Typhoon Coral is still making landfall; though it’s not raining tonight, the wind on the streets is incredibly fierce.

On his way, Wang Longhu saw with his own eyes a decorative tree by the roadside snapped in two by the wind, rolling lightly down the road.

If anyone dares to go out in this weather, they’re either forced by work or really courting death.

Wang Longhu skillfully reached the seaside, where the sea was furiously high tide, with waves five to six meters high. The coastline had already been fortified with anti-typhoon sandbags and various measures.

Standing alone by the sea, the seven to eight level strong wind facing him gave Wang Longhu a strange feeling of opposing the world.

"I hope this rare dangerous environment can lead to some success in my soft Dark Force," muttered Wang Longhu, hiding his phone between two sandbags before leaping into the air, crossing five to six meters, diving headfirst into the sea.

In an instant, Wang Longhu’s figure vanished on the sea surface.

Beneath the sea, it wasn’t much calmer than the surface. Dark currents swirled, so anyone falling in would be swept to unknown places, extremely perilous.

The instant Wang Longhu entered the water, he pressed all his vital energy downward, becoming like a stone, sinking continuously further down.

Five meters...

Ten meters...

Fifteen meters...

Twenty meters...

The near shore seabed drops over thirty meters from the shore. When his feet touched the seabed, Wang Longhu felt immense pressure inside and outside, like a cloth tightly wrapping his body, making any movement difficult.

Standing in the three-body style, his legs rooted on the seabed as water rushed by, Wang Longhu’s upper body swayed gently while his legs stayed immobile, stable like Mount Tai.

This is due to his enhancement of the three-body style to Lv4, with an incomparably stable lower body. At Lv3, he would’ve been swept to the deep sea the moment he landed.

Grug!

Wang Longhu relaxed his muscles and bones, his internal bones shifted, trembling continuously, trying to recreate the resonance with thunder.

He held a breath in his throat, forming a lump, moving up and down, creating faint sounds even underwater.

Under the scouring of the sea, Wang Longhu’s body felt like it’s being hammered invisibly, even if he didn’t want to relax his bones, the sea impact would cause them to tremble on their own.

Under passivity, fighting against the sea felt extremely laborious, as if failure loomed at any moment.

Representing the human limit of strength and physique both at 2.0, Wang Longhu must achieve this in such an environment, or no ordinary person ever could.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Eyes closed, mind focused, breath held, Wang Longhu at this moment emptied his mind, relying solely on his body’s instinct to resist the water’s pressure.

Meanwhile, he meditated on scenes from his daily experiences to try and forget the physical pain, prolonging the torture of standing thirty meters underwater as much as possible.

There’s no sense of time underwater, it’s unknown how long passed.

Wang Longhu’s bones continually rubbed, starting to fall like dominoes in a regular pattern.

There are gaps between human bone joints; when squeezed inward, one’s height shrinks, when pulled outward, one’s height stretches.

The flexibility from yoga can let an adult twist and fit into a 21-inch suitcase, relying on compressing bone gaps.

Wang Longhu, constantly battered by the sea, unintentionally touched upon this realm.

With bone rubbing, vital energy started penetrating the gaps, entering Wang Longhu’s internal organs, nourishing and tempering his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, large intestine, small intestine.

The softness of Dark Force manifested fully at this moment.

The Dark Force capable of shattering stones gently stimulated Wang Longhu’s internal organs, light as cotton and feathers, making one unable to see that this force could instantly blow up an adult man’s skull.

Feeling the Dark Force temper his internal organs, even with closed eyes, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

Under the threat of life and death, one sees the essence; braving danger on a typhoon night to dive thirty meters underwater to train martial arts, there’s always the risk of being swept away by dark currents.

This moment finally brought reward, breaking through the first step, the following second and third steps would become easier. Remembering this feeling, Wang Longhu can temper his internal organs with Dark Force anytime, anywhere, even without being underwater.

Wang Longhu relied on his strong body functions, plus having just had some alcohol giving him less fear of dying.

Otherwise, without seizing this rare typhoon opportunity, wanting to grasp the existence of Dark Force’s softness might take over ten years without any insight.

Indeed, great opportunities lie within life-and-death crises.
