From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword Chapter 517 335 Ocean Overlord Sets Sail

Gardenia Beach, north side, under the Baoshan Lighthouse.

On the beach stood an umbrella, under which were placed two chairs.

Lu Heng and Jian Qing sat in the chairs, browsing their phones while waiting for the training to end.

In the Abyss Era, loads of abyss-related information was released online every day, and if interested, one could scroll through it all day long.

Lu Heng raised his left hand to check the ti on his watch, two hours and thirty minutes had passed since the training began.

"We should still wait for half an hour," Jian Qing said, sitting cross-legged with elegance.

This deep-sea training session, after careful calculation, started 150 kiloters from the shore to the spot where the rubber ball was deposited, with 100 kiloters between the ball drop point and the starting point of the training.

This ant that even if the trainees did not go after the rubber ball, they would still need to cover a distance of 250 kiloters to return to shore.

Based on the swimming speeds of these ten ocean system superpower soldiers, it would take over three hours to return.

However, the placent of the rubber ball was no random choice; it was located in an ocean trench.

Which ant that once thrown into the sea, there was a high likelihood that the ball would sink deep into the trench.

The depths of the southern trench in the East Sea ranged from 1,000 to 2,000 ters, depths impossible for ordinary people to reach, not even extre diving enthusiasts.

For general professional divers, diving to a depth of 50 ters was already pushing the limits; going any deeper was akin to risking one's life.

The world record for free diving with equipnt was 52.1 ters.

Of course, this applied only to ordinary people.

For ocean system superpower users, 50 ters was just the beginning.

Without the ability to deep dive several hundred ters, one could never resolve the deep-sea fog crisis, let alone beco a master of the oceans.

Thus, during this training session, the rubber ball was directly thrown into the trench.

There were ten rubber balls deployed, but not everyone would be able to retrieve one; if the ball sank deep into the trench, it was normal not to bring it back.

Judging whether one had the capability to complete a mission was also an ability that superpower soldiers needed to learn.

In short, this deep-sea training session was highly challenging.

Depth was just one of the danger factors; unknown abyss demons and mutant creatures also needed to be guarded against.

This was a major test before they embarked on their ocean missions.

...

There was still a little ti until the end of training.

Jian Qing casually started a conversation, "The undersea world is fascinating too, have you ever thought about becoming an ocean warrior?"

Lu Heng thought for a mont and answered, "I suppose I have thought about it. But in the end, land is where humans prevail. Ocean warriors are specialized warriors, dominating the sea ans giving up the competition for land."

Jian Qing nodded in agreent, "Indeed, among the three domains of land, sea, and air, one can only specialize in one. Relatively speaking, land is more important."

Lu Heng explained, "Actually, as the combat power of superpower users continues to increase, the difference between land and air will beco smaller. After all, both land and air are air dium; once the ability to fly or a substitute for flying is obtained, the difference between the sky and land is not significant."

"Indeed, water is a different dium altogether, completely different," Jian Qing nodded, feeling this perspective was correct.

As the two were chatting,

a spherical wave suddenly bulged on the sea in front and rapidly moved toward the shore.

As the mbers of the special forces on the shore turned their eyes toward it, the spherical wave rushed onto the shallow shore and a figure shot out of the wave, leaping three ters high, roaring towards the sky, and landing on the sand with splashes slling of the sea.

After landing, the person held the rubber ball high over his head, looking towards Lu Heng and Jian Qing excitedly asking, "Instructor, what place did I take?"

Lu Heng checked the ti, raised his eyebrows and nodded towards Jian Qing, signaling the watch, "Two hours and thirty-seven minutes, much faster than expected."

Originally, it was predicted that the training would take at least three hours before anyone returned.

And that was without spending ti searching for the rubber ball; returning in three and a half hours would have been considered fast.

Jian Qing stood up and applauded, saying, "Not bad, two hours and thirty-seven minutes, you're the first to return."

Liu Haiyang let out a deep breath, excitedly exclaid, "Was I that fast?"

Jian Qing pointed to the umbrella at the side, saying, "Rest for now. Wait for the others to co back."

Liu Haiyang gulped down a bottle of mineral water and said, "Feels a bit awkward on land, I'll head back to the sea to fetch others."

Saying so, he ran back into the sea, disappearing among the waves.

For so who loved diving, being in water felt more comfortable.

Liu Haiyang was likely one of them, accustod to the underwater conditions, not needing to breathe with lungs, and accustod to the water pressure, he felt awkward on land.

After about half an hour,

The second ocean warrior returned, it was Cao Lixiong.

Among the ten, he had the highest source energy level, and if on land, three or four others together might not match him.

However, in water, he struggled to secure a second-place finish.

Two minutes later, the third to return was a girl nad Jiang Shaoran.

Over the next half hour, the remaining seven gradually returned.

Jian Qing stood and announced the results, "First place Liu Haiyang, second place Cao Lixiong, third place Jiang Shaoran, according to the initial reward plan, starting with first place to pick rewards. Two portions of source material, and one prize for upgrading skills. Liu Haiyang, what do you want?"
