Chapter 86

All items were prepared: food, clothes, and assistive tools. Just in case, Feng Yi even brought a first-aid kit.

His situation was rather special; he couldn't have a lifeguard standing by to watch him, nor could he let anyone else know.

As for the butler, he had said that before Feng Yi evolved to the next stage, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to intervene too much, as it could affect Feng Yi's evolution.

So, it could only be up to Feng Yi himself.

Fortunately, standing by the pool, Feng Yi didn't feel any worry or fear.

To him, this large pool felt just like a flat ground in front of him.

In simpler terms, he had a mysterious confidence!

It was nighttime, and it was dark outside. The lights in the swimming pool were not turned on.

For Feng Yi, nighttime lighting wasn't that important.

After warming up and changing into his swimsuit, Feng Yi took a deep breath and entered the shallow end.

The moment he entered the water, Feng Yi suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He usually didn't feel the weight of his 150 kg body, but once he was in the water, that sense of relief came!

Every cell in his body seemed to be emitting a message of joy!

He started by swimming in the shallow end to get a feel for it.

He swam a bit in the breaststroke position, and once he had no problem with treading water and breathing, he switched to the freestyle position and swam a couple of laps.

Surprisingly, despite the significant increase in his weight, he didn't feel clumsy at all.

It's no wonder people say that as the heaviest snake, the anaconda moves slowly on land but can swim beautifully in the water!

He was different from the anaconda; his body density had increased significantly.

The similarity was that, despite being heavy, he swam effortlessly!

With the increase in strength, he felt even more relaxed.

With each stroke and kick, he could feel the power propelling him!

Feng Yi didn't rush to the deep end but continued swimming in the shallow end for another half an hour.

He had learned to swim at a young age but wasn't very skilled. Later, he would occasionally swim, but during his college years, due to part-time jobs, he only swam a couple of times, and those were with his dorm mates at the school pool.

After graduation, he had even less time, with various jobs and courses, and the tasks he set for himself one after another, leaving no time to swim leisurely.

Even without practice, he now felt less and less unfamiliar as he swam. It wasn't that he had mastered excellent swimming skills, but his body was adjusting to the current environment, gradually developing an instinct.

For the current Feng Yi, swimming in the breaststroke and freestyle positions was not strenuous, and he was quite fast.

Feng Yi roughly calculated that with his abilities, he could participate in international swimming competitions!

No, that wouldn't work; there would be a physical examination.

One round of the physical would screen him out.

Putting aside these thoughts, Feng Yi focused on swimming.

Feng Yi always felt he could swim faster and more easily.

Perhaps he should try a different stroke.

The butterfly stroke?

Feng Yi wasn't very good at the butterfly stroke. When he learned to swim, he had practiced it, but back then, he was either too stiff and couldn't swim, or his movements were too large and unstandardized, like a caterpillar arching and wriggling.

He didn't swim far before getting dizzy and running out of breath.

Now, it was different!

After switching to the butterfly stroke, his body gave him the feedback:

Relaxation +1, +1, +1...

He even felt his arms were a hindrance, so he stopped using them to swim and dove into the water, moving up and down like a dolphin!

This felt natural!

It was as if an instinct was driving him!

After swimming for another half an hour, Feng Yi wanted to test how long he could hold his breath underwater.

He was in the shallow end, which was less than 1.5 meters deep.

He walked toward the deep end.

The deep end was 1.8 meters deep, covering his nose and eyes. There was also a sunken area next to the deep end, which was about 2 meters deep.

With his current body density, when he wasn't swimming, his feet would sink to the bottom, allowing him to walk in the water.

The water covered his mouth and nose, then his eyes.

Although he had never trained underwater, his eyes seemed to have adapted to the underwater environment.

His underwater vision was not impaired, and his eyes felt no discomfort.

Holding his breath wasn't difficult; his lungs, now strengthened, allowed him to hold his breath longer in the water.

Feng Yi couldn't see, but his pupils narrowed from round to slits, and his irises turned pale, adding a coldness.

If someone saw Feng Yi's eyes at that moment, they would scream in fright.

Underwater, Feng Yi looked cold and emotionless, but in reality, his mind was quite active.

Walking in the 1.8-meter-deep area, if anything went wrong, he could stand on tiptoe to breathe.

However, after holding his breath for 5 minutes, Feng Yi still felt no difficulty.

To be safe, he surfaced to catch his breath, then re-entered the water and walked toward the 2-meter-deep area.

At 2 meters, he couldn't stand on tiptoe to breathe, but Feng Yi wasn't anxious; instead, he felt a bit excited.

The water pressure didn't cause any pain. Of course, the pool might not be deep enough for significant water pressure.

Let's swim a bit more!

Swim freely!

This time, Feng Yi followed his body's instincts and didn't deliberately use any specific stroke.

Most snakes in nature move by swaying side to side, but for Feng Yi, the up-and-down dolphin movement was more relaxed!

Ha ha ha!

Feng Yi laughed inwardly.

The stroke he had never been able to master before now came naturally in the water, without any conscious effort, his body following that instinct.

He shot forward!

So simple!

It was effortless to generate forward momentum and upward buoyancy!

He didn't need to use his arms; he could swim from one end to the other without taking a breath!

His lung capacity was large, and the advantages of his enhanced body were evident!

He could do as he pleased in the water, moving freely!

Now, Feng Yi was completely submerged, swimming from one end of the pool to the other and then quickly back again, without surfacing, moving swiftly underwater the entire time.

Feng Yi swam with ease, and his 150 kg weight was no burden; the energy in his body turned into power.

He kept accelerating!

Faster!

Faster!

Like a torpedo, he shot from one end to the other...

Bang!

Feng Yi clutched his head, spinning in pain in the water.

His face was contorted.

A bump formed on his head.

He had gotten carried away.

It wasn't that he mistook this for the sea or a river, but he hadn't expected to swim so fast, faster than his brain could calculate, and he hit the wall at the other end.

Feng Yi touched the large bump on his head. His mind had wandered a bit, not focusing on the calculations, leading to this hit.

Actually, it wasn't his fault for being distracted; the pool was just too small!

He couldn't fully stretch out!

He needed a larger place to move around.
