Chapter 394: Chapter 196 Diving_1

Swimming was not much of a challenge for those possessed with strong spiritual power. Even Tao Linlin was no exception. In just half a day, Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Tao Linlin had managed to swim decently. Particularly, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, who had considerable outer spiritual power, did not even feel exhausted from swimming. They had adapted quite quickly.

Yue Li, Ling Menglu, and Wang Changxin also practiced swimming. The most impressive was Wang Changxin, who cultivated both inner and outer spiritual power. In the water, she exuded a strong sense of breaking through waves, and she could dart off like an arrow with just a little push underwater.

When evening came, some demon hunting teams were still practicing, some even attempting to dive. Others were preparing dinner by making a fire.

Long Dangdang and his team belonged to the latter.

With a mage around, starting a fire was a piece of cake. A large pot was boiling with aromatic rib soup, brought by Long Kongkong from Hep’s Ribs Shop. Sitting around the fire, everyone was licking their lips in anticipation.

Despite their robust constitutions not being affected by the cool lake water, the sight of the hot soup made them feel as if they were being warmed from the inside out.

"This rib soup was personally prepared by my goddess. Taste it later, the flavor is definitely unbeatable," Long Kongkong said joyfully. He’d always been quite generous since childhood; he was the type to spend when he had the money, not just on himself, but also his friends. Hence, Ling Xue had let his elder son manage the money, and not given his younger son a penny to carry on his own.

Tao Linlin laughed, "Sounds amazing. It smells so good, when can we eat?"

Long Kongkong replied, "Let it boil a little more, then I’ll add some lotus root and radish. It’ll be perfect."

Long Dangdang said, "Everyone has more or less learned to swim today. Let me share some thoughts for the next steps."

All eyes were on him.

Long Dangdang turned to Ming Xi and asked, "Ming Xi, you can dive, right? I asked the Succubus Instructor today, she said without spiritual power, it takes 8 to 10 minutes to pass this stage. Do you think you can do it?"

Ming Xi’s face changed slightly, "Eight to ten minutes? That means the underwater channel is definitely not straight, there should be some twists and turns. If spiritual power is sealed, it won’t be easy. Underwater is completely different from above water. The water pressure increases by 100% every ten meters deep. At thirty meters depth, the water pressure is quite substantial, and it’s a 500-meter swim. The consumption during the process will be huge. Without spiritual power to support, I’m not sure if I can pass."

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone became more serious. If even Ming Xi, known for her speed and diving skills, was not sure about passing, then what about those who hadn’t even learned to dive?

Long Dangdang nodded slightly, he suspected it wouldn’t be that easy.

"No worries. I asked the instructor, during non-official exams, you can try passing with spiritual power, to explore the waterway. Tomorrow, could you explore the whole route of the channel for us?"

Ming Xi nodded in agreement, "With the usage of spiritual power, passing the test is definitely not difficult. I’ll do it tomorrow."

Long Dangdang nodded, then looked at the others, "Tomorrow everyone starts learning to dive, make sure you master it within one day. No need to reach Ming Xi’s level, but you must be able to dive to a depth of thirty meters and swim freely."

Everyone nodded their heads. Ten days may seem long but it is actually not. One day has already passed.

Long Dangdang continued, "We can help each other in this stage, but without inner spiritual power, passing will not be easy. However, outer spiritual power is unaffected. So, in this stage, those of us with higher outer spiritual power have to take up more responsibility."

This was their current advantage. Long Kongkong and Ming Xi both had one thousand outer spiritual power, Long Dangdang had two thousand, and Wang Changxin’s outer spiritual power was as high as four thousand. This was something other teams did not possess. Especially Wang Changxin’s four thousand outer spiritual power, which meant that, even without inner spiritual power, she was actually a 6th Rank!

Wang Changxin nodded slightly.

She already knew how to swim and had already tried diving today with Ming Xi. Without the use of inner spiritual power in the water, she believed she shouldn’t have a problem. Her strong constitution not only made her swim fast but her bloodline power naturally allowed her to hold her breath for longer periods of time.

"We are going to continue practising and resting tomorrow, and then start trying the day after tomorrow," Long Dangdang announced in a serious tone.

Everyone relished the rib soup heartily. Compared to the dry rations of other teams, it tasted much better. Being able to enjoy such a delicacy in the wild made everyone sing its praises, which made Long Kongkong blush with excitement.

As night deepened, each demon hunting team set up their camp for the night. Long Dangdang’s team was no exception.

When others were resting, Ling Menglu was called out.

"Are you preparing to enhance your outer spiritual power?" Before Long Dangdang could say anything, Ling Menglu proactively asked.

Long Dangdang smiled, "My cousin knows me well!"

Ling Menglu rolled her eyes, "I knew it the moment you spoke earlier. I’ll need to rely on you later. Yue Li, Tao Linlin and I will definitely have the hardest time. We have weaker bodies, and not enough outer spiritual power. Kongkong and Ming Xi might just manage to pass by themselves. So, we need to rely more on you and Sister Wang, the two with the strongest outer spiritual power. This is our team’s greatest advantage. But, will this affect your inner spiritual power’s enhancement?"
