Because the underwater area where they were going was dangerous, the crossbow was a necessity. So even though the current test was not dangerous, Li Junjie still wanted to bring it to test it out. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Ito, on the other hand, was always on edge, so bringing the crossbow was a natural thing for him. Fortunately, both of them had practiced shooting and crossbow techniques regularly and were frequent deep-sea divers, so it was not surprising that their crossbow skills were good.
Having escaped the great white shark attack, the group dived down another ten meters or so, avoiding the remaining three sharks that were tearing at their companions, and then swam to the side and surfaced again.
The deepest point was nearly two hundred meters. Even with these high-tech diving suits, the Wolf brothers, Elena, and Fu Ying all felt extremely uncomfortable, as if their chests were about to explode. Naturally, they dared not linger any longer.
Li Junjie swam at the very back, counted the number of people, gave a hand signal, and they all retreated to the sea.
It took almost ten minutes to swim back to the surface. Daniel was almost completely exhausted, and the black and white foreigners on the yacht quickly pulled them onto the yacht one by one.
Only Zhou Xuan, Ito, and Li Junjie had the remaining strength. They checked the water meters again, and almost all of them were around 200 meters. Ito's meter was as high as 204 meters, while Daniel's was 199 meters.
The quality of the diving suit is generally considered to be good. With Zhou Xuan and Ito's abilities, they could dive much deeper while wearing it. At a depth of just 200 meters, Zhou Xuan did not feel any discomfort and was completely at ease.
After resting for a while, Elena started chattering to Wang Jue about the dangerous scene that had just happened.
Li Junjie smiled and said, "Such an opportunity is hard to come by. I've been here countless times, but this is my first time facing a great white shark. It's interesting, but it doesn't seem as exciting as in the movies. Didn't the great white shark die under our powerful crossbow? Hehe, let's go back into the water. This kind of practical training is actually the best. It's better to be prepared!"
Zhou Xuan was stunned. He noticed that, apart from him, the other people who had just gone into the water, including Daniel, Fu Ying, and Elena, were all preparing to go back into the water. Weren't they afraid of the great white shark?
Zhou Xuan was unaware that his panic just now was mainly due to the lack of weapons. Which of these expert divers who frequently went diving hadn't encountered danger? Of course, he was an exception.
This time when they went into the water again, they took the underwater crossbow. This crossbow is much stronger than an ordinary water gun. An ordinary water gun may not be able to penetrate the thick skin of a great white shark.
Zhou Xuan glanced at Fu Ying and Elena, both of whom were getting ready for their diving suits. The two girls were about to go back into the water, not to mention Ono Yuriko. Was he, a grown man, really inferior to a woman?
Zhou Xuan didn't think about it anymore. He straightened his diving suit, grabbed the crossbow, and figured there were only three great white sharks left. Eight people and eight crossbows, there was no need to worry too much. It was just that the crossbow seemed too powerful, so he had to be careful not to hurt his own people, since he had never used such a thing before.

This time, the eight people went into the water fully equipped and stayed very close to each other. However, even after diving to a depth of just over 200 meters, they didn't see the three great white sharks again, although they did see quite a few other small sea fish.
After diving another ten meters or so, still without seeing any great white shark, Li Junjie stopped paying attention, pointed the diving light on his head at the water gauge on his wrist, and then gestured to the others.
Everyone understands this action: now that the shark is gone, let's officially test how deep the new diving suit can dive.
Wolf, the Daniel brothers, Elena, and Fu Ying felt uncomfortable at a depth of 260 meters and stopped diving.
Afterwards, Yuriko Ono and Junjie Li couldn't hold on any longer at around 300 meters, leaving only Xuan Zhou and Ito diving deeper into the water.
Ito was really going all out this time. He didn't believe that an ordinary person who had never practiced internal energy could hold his breath longer or withstand such intense pressure!
Zhou Xuan activated the icy energy of his pill to protect his body, feeling completely comfortable as he descended. Ito stopped when he felt his blood surging, and seeing that Zhou Xuan was still diving deeper, he sighed, realizing that he was indeed inferior to him.
Zhou Xuan dived for a while longer and suddenly realized that the Japanese soldier Ito was gone. He was all alone in the deep water, surrounded by only very faint light. He felt as if he were in the mouth of a monster with a huge gaping maw. Feeling a little scared, he quickly swam back.
Having floated halfway up the water without seeing any companions, Zhou Xuan gripped the crossbow tightly, circulating the icy energy throughout his body and maximizing his senses, paying close attention to the surrounding movements. Fortunately, he did not see any more great white sharks, and only when he surfaced did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.
The sun still shone on the sea, and the yacht floated quietly on the surface, the water gently rippling without any waves.
On the yacht, Li Junjie and the others leaned against the railing and waved to Zhou Xuan as he surfaced.
After pulling Zhou Xuan onto the yacht, Li Junjie announced the end of today's test. The quality of the diving suits was ideal, and the closest distance was over 260 meters. Ono Yuriko and Li Junjie were about 300 meters apart, Ito reached 380 meters, and Zhou Xuan's watch showed 412 meters.
Zhou Xuan is undoubtedly the best, but of course, Zhou Xuan has no intention of showing off.
For the next four days, Li Junjie brought them to scuba dive and practice their accuracy with underwater crossbows. Zhou Xuan was the only one who had never used one before. After a few days of training, he became proficient and his swimming skills improved considerably in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
However, Fu Ying didn't come with him for the next few days. By the fifth day, Zhou Xuan had been in New York for 22 days, and it would be a month in another week.
It's been almost a month, and I'm still preparing. I haven't even seen the place I'm going to yet. What is it like? Will it be more terrifying than the deep sea? Will there be anything more frightening than a great white shark?
Fu Ying and Li Junjie arrived at the villa in the Queens district early in the morning and announced that everyone would have a free day and would not be training.
Then Li Junjie called Zhou Xuan and Ito aside and said, "Today, I have something I need you two to do."
Ito nodded without saying anything.
Zhou Xuan noticed that Li Junjie's expression was a bit serious and wanted to ask him, but seeing that even the Japanese soldiers were keeping their composure and not asking, why should he ask?
Li Junjie drove himself, without his subordinates. Fu Ying sat next to him, while Zhou Xuan and Ito sat in the back. The four of them remained silent throughout the journey. Zhou Xuan and Ito didn't ask, and Li Junjie and Fu Ying didn't offer any explanation.
But Zhou Xuan saw that Fu Ying was always looking down and thinking about something, and wondered what she wanted them to do. It didn't seem like a meal or entertainment. If it were a meal or entertainment, then she would have invited other people. Why did she only invite him and Ito Kijima?
Oh no, could it be that they've set up another competition for them since they've been competing against each other? If it's something else, I might not be a match for this Japanese devil.
As Zhou Xuan was lost in thought, he turned to look out the car window and suddenly realized that they had driven into Chinatown again. He had been there with Fu Ying before, and the streets were lined with signs made of Chinese characters. He wondered what Liu Qingyuan had carved the jade into.
Li Junjie turned the car onto a side road, drove for a few more minutes, entered a residential area, and then parked the car in front of a four-story bungalow.
There was a guard at the door, also an Asian man. Upon seeing Li Junjie and Fu Ying, he bowed respectfully and said, "Miss, Young Master!"
Fu Ying nodded, then turned to Zhou Xuan and Ito and said, "Come with me."
Although the house only has four floors, it has a large floor area, almost no less than 500 square meters. In the living room, Li Junjie said to Zhou Xuan and Ito, "Please wait a moment."
Then Li Junjie and Fu Ying both left the living room.
There was a faint, yet pleasantly pleasant fragrance in the living room. Zhou Xuan had never seen this fragrance before and couldn't think of anything similar to it.
Then a middle-aged woman brought in tea, placed the teacups on the table in front of the two of them, and said, "Please have some tea."
The middle-aged woman spoke fluent Mandarin, had yellow skin and black eyes, and looked no different from any other woman in China.
The teacup was also made of deep purple clay, and Zhou Xuan immediately determined that it was a 120-year-old Yixing clay!
Even a teacup is an antique!
