Although Zhou Xuan was also a little annoyed, he managed to hold on. He raised his right middle finger and flashed it at Ito, regardless of whether Ito understood or heard him, and uttered two words through bubbling mouth: "Japanese devils!"

Volume One: The First Signs of Growth, Chapter Ten: Deep Sea Diving
Seeing Ito's slightly disheveled appearance, Zhou Xuan felt a sense of satisfaction. After uttering two words, he put the respirator on his mouth. (WENXUEMi.COM)
By this time, they had reached a depth of about 110 meters, and the pressure of the seawater was already very high. Although all six of them were carrying double air tanks, the Wolf brothers and Elena stopped diving.
Because everyone's breathing rate is different, and the water pressure is different, the amount of air consumed will also be different. Usually, a bottle of oxygen can last for about fifty minutes in water five to ten meters deep. However, in water deeper than tens of meters, the time will be greatly shortened. In the 110-meter-deep water where Zhou Xuan and his group were, the consumption will be even greater, and two bottles will not last more than forty minutes.
As you dive deeper, both pressure and remaining air in your tank become crucial considerations for divers. Excessive pressure leads to faster energy and air consumption, and it is extremely dangerous to remain in deep water when you are almost out of air.
Most divers return when they have about one-third of their air left, and they also choose their depths carefully, avoiding pushing themselves into areas they cannot reach.
After putting on the air shield, Zhou Xuan took a few breaths. The icy energy from the pill circulated throughout his body, and the feeling of stuffiness was swept away. He glanced at Ito, who was trying to calm his breathing. Ito stared at Zhou Xuan for a moment, then dived down again.
Zhou Xuan was naturally like a bull on Viagra, determined not to lose face in front of the Japanese, especially since he had just won by half a point. Even if he went down, he might not be any worse than the Japanese soldier Ito!
When they descended to a depth of 130 meters, the pressure on their bodies became apparent, and Yuriko Ono waved her hand at Naoki Ito, indicating that they should not descend any further.
By this time, the Wolf brothers and Elena had already disappeared. They wouldn't dive down to this depth; it was too dangerous.
Ito waved to Yuriko Ono, signaling her not to follow him down, and then continued to dive.
Zhou Xuan hummed and slowly circulated the icy air throughout his body. He didn't feel too much discomfort and slowly descended as well. The seawater in this area was much dimmer, and the two of them looked at each other like two big fish swimming.
As they descended further, their speed decreased significantly. Zhou Xuan checked his watch; the water depth had reached 166 meters. He glanced at Ito, who had finally stopped diving and was staring at Zhou Xuan.
Looking through his diving mask, Zhou Xuan saw the surprise and astonishment in Ito's eyes and thought to himself: "Little devil, are you still so arrogant?" Seeing that Ito dared not dive any further, Zhou Xuan felt a little smug and decided to dive a little deeper.
Ito was quite surprised!
He was initially somewhat dismissive of the diving experts Li Junjie had introduced, firstly because he knew his own true abilities, and secondly because he had a deep understanding of divers who relied on physical strength, unlike Li Junjie's diving ability which relied on breath control. The two were not comparable.
But Zhou Xuan undoubtedly surprised him greatly. This yellow-skinned Chinese man did not seem to be a martial arts expert. This could be seen from his walking posture and usual movements. How could an ordinary person compare to him? But as it turned out, Zhou Xuan was definitely stronger than him. Whether it was his ability to hold his breath underwater or his ability to withstand water pressure, he was superior to him!
At a depth of nearly 170 meters, with less than a third of his air remaining, Ito dared not dive any further. Firstly, he didn't have enough air to return to the surface, and secondly, the pressure was too great; if he dived any deeper, his internal organs might be crushed.
Zhou Xuan continued to dive deeper under Ito's watchful eye until he disappeared from Ito's sight. Ito dared not linger any longer and swam vigorously toward the surface of the sea.
Zhou Xuan didn't actually dive much further, mainly because the light was already very low at this depth. If he dived another six or seven meters, he wouldn't be able to see anything. At this point, Zhou Xuan looked at the water level and it was very dark. After looking carefully, he could see that the water depth was 178 meters.
Although he felt a little unwell, Zhou Xuan knew that he could definitely dive another ten meters or so. It seemed that the icy energy from the pill was a treasure. Not only could it help identify antiques and jade, but it could also strengthen his body and heal his injuries!
Since the Japanese devils dared not dive any further, and he had already saved face, Zhou Xuan decided there was no need to dive any deeper. He then swam upwards with his legs spread wide.
On the surface, Daniel was the first to surface, having been submerged for 31 minutes at a depth of 111 meters. Wolf reached 117 meters, and Elena reached 125 meters.
There is a small grid on the lower right side of the depth gauge. The depth display will stop at the deepest point reached by the diver, and it cannot be faked.
Yuriko Ono took almost six or seven minutes to surface. Her maximum depth was 137 meters, which surprised the Wolf brothers and Elena. A girl who looked so delicate was actually more capable than all of them!
Of course, the most powerful ones haven't come out yet.
Everyone on the yacht was speculating about which of the last two people would surface first.
Li Junjie was also secretly surprised. In the last test in the swimming pool of the villa in the Queens District, Zhou Xuan was stronger than the Wolf Brothers and Elena, but he had personally witnessed the strength of the Ito siblings. He never expected that Zhou Xuan could be on par with them, or at least stronger than Ono Yuriko.
This was indeed somewhat unexpected. However, in the end, Zhou Xuan probably couldn't compare to Ito. Li Junjie knew how powerful Ito was. Diving was just one of his skills, while swordsmanship and martial arts were his stronger aspects. But even in terms of diving alone, Zhou Xuan probably couldn't beat him. After all, people who practiced Qi cultivation and martial arts were much stronger than ordinary people. As for Zhou Xuan, Li Junjie knew that he didn't know martial arts, as his cousin Fu Ying had told him.
The story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress was reversed in his case.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting the final result. Yuriko Ono was especially nervous. She and her senior brother rarely dived to depths below 140 meters. Senior brother Ito's limit was about 165 meters.
Li Junjie took a sip of red wine by the yacht railing and stared at the sea in a daze.
He himself is a diving enthusiast. In addition to diving, he also enjoys extreme sports such as mountaineering and rock climbing. He is even quite good at each of them. He can reach a diving depth of 140 meters. Of course, he also knows that this is related to his martial arts training with his grandfather since childhood. Therefore, he understands Ito's strength even more. With the help of Ito and his fellow disciples, there is a greater chance that his great-grandfather's matter will be completed.
Just then, Wang Jue called out, "There's water splashing... It's coming out! It's coming out!"
Without her calling out, everyone's eyes were on the sea. There was a splash on the sea to the left of the yacht, and then a person appeared.
He shook the water off his head, then reached out and took off his blindfold. Everyone could see clearly that this person was Ito Kinji.

Volume 1, Chapter 11: Unexpected
The most surprised people were Ono Yuriko and Li Junjie when they saw that the person who surfaced wasn't Zhou Xuan but Ito Kinji.
Yuriko Ono and Ito were fellow disciples and knew each other very well. She was well aware of her senior brother's abilities, and was quite surprised to see that he was the first to emerge from the water.
Li Junjie was surprised. Could it be that he was going to misjudge again after misjudging once? He didn't expect that Zhou Xuan was not only stronger than the Wolf Brothers and Elena, but also stronger than the Ito siblings. This result was indeed beyond his imagination and expectations.
After Ito climbed onto the ship via the steel ladder, he frowned and remained silent. Li Junjie took his depth gauge and looked at it; the number on it was fixed at 166 meters.
The Wolf brothers and Elena were both speechless. This depth was something they had never been able to reach. They felt a bit frustrated today. Even that gentle Japanese woman had dived deeper than them!
Seeing that her fellow disciples hadn't fallen behind and were even a meter taller than her previous record, Ono Yuriko wondered how tall Zhou Xuan was. She figured he couldn't be taller than her senior brother, so she asked him in a low voice. Ito, however, seemed lost in thought and didn't seem to hear her question.
Everyone was waiting for Zhou Xuan to come out. Although he hadn't surfaced, it didn't mean he could dive deeper than Ito. Perhaps his swimming skills were a little worse and his speed was a bit slower. In deep water, speeds vary, which is perfectly normal.
But after another four or five minutes there was still no movement, and Li Junjie was starting to get impatient!
