Chapter 66

Yu Qingying's eyes, which had been fixed on the sea, were starting to feel sore, but she still hadn't seen Tang Zhendong surface. She couldn't help but tightly grasp Wang Xiaolin's hand, "Xiaolin, do you think something happened to him? It's been over ten minutes, why hasn't he come up for a breath?"

"Wang," Wang Xiaolin was also at a loss for words. In this situation, she knew that Tang Zhendong was in grave danger. Who could hold their breath for over ten minutes underwater? This was an understatement. By the time that felt like years, Wang Xiaolin felt it had been several hours since Tang Zhendong last came up for air.

But Wang Xiaolin could sense Yu Qingying's feelings; she had truly fallen for Tang Zhendong.

Throughout high school, college, and even the year and a half since graduation, Yu Qingying had never shown any affection for anyone. Wang Xiaolin knew this deep down, but she had never dared to say it aloud, nor did she know how to comfort Yu Qingying.

On the side, Xu Zhijun, although he appeared anxious, was secretly gloating: "Serves you right for showing off. You said you were good at swimming, but what did you show off for? You deserved this!"

Xu Zhijun was also envious and jealous of Tang Zhendong for winning Yu Qingying's heart, but he couldn't show this on the surface. He had to hide it deep down, which was a sign of deep scheming.

Moreover, he couldn't figure out Tang Zhendong's background. How did he know the club president so well? How could the president tell him his whereabouts? For someone with an unknown identity and a penchant for showing off, it was better for him to suffer a bit. Xu Zhijun even hoped that after this, Tang Zhendong would never suffer again. Without breath, how could he suffer?

Xu Zhijun had long thought about going back to call for help, but he didn't say anything. He just kept waiting, hoping that Tang Zhendong wouldn't last long.

Xu Zhijun put on a worried face, but in reality, he was just stalling for time. Yu Qingying and Wang Xiaolin hoped that Tang Zhendong had only been underwater for half a minute, while Xu Zhijun hoped it had been half an hour.

After waiting for over twenty minutes, with Tang Zhendong still not surfacing, Xu Zhijun was about to clear his throat and tell Yu Qingying and Wang Xiaolin that they could call for the fishermen to help.

But Wang Xiaolin suddenly had an idea, "Right, Xu Zhijun, go back and call for help. Get the fishermen to come and rescue him."

Xu Zhijun hadn't expected that his own idea, which he was about to suggest, would be spoken by Wang Xiaolin. But Xu Zhijun was a smart person and wouldn't deliberately delay at this moment, as it would be too obvious.

So when he heard Wang Xiaolin's words, he pretended to be enlightened and ran quickly to the fishing village.

......

Seeing that Tang Zhendong was tired, the big fish grew bolder, circling around him as if toying with him.

The big fish had lived for many years, and its intelligence had grown with age. In its mind, Tang Zhendong had been chasing it for half an island and should be exhausted by now. It grew bolder, getting closer to Tang Zhendong, occasionally flicking its tail at him, but only lightly.

If Tang Zhendong were an ordinary person, he would indeed be out of breath. But Tang Zhendong was not ordinary. He had superhuman physical strength and eight years of pure internal energy. Although he was tired, he still had reserves.

The big fish, despite its intelligence, had overlooked one thing: Tang Zhendong didn't show any signs of exhaustion and continued to face it underwater.

Tang Zhendong had been holding back, as the fish was too large. The force of the fish's tail was no less than that of a martial arts master, especially in its natural habitat, the sea. Tang Zhendong had no leverage in the water, which was a disadvantage. He didn't have the confidence to kill it with one strike.

The big fish grew bolder, occasionally coming close to Tang Zhendong and flicking its tail at him.

When the big fish boldly approached, Tang Zhendong suddenly struck, hitting the fish's body with his palm. His eight years of pure internal energy penetrated the fish's body. Due to the water's resistance, Tang Zhendong couldn't tell how much force remained on the fish, but the fish was clearly severely injured, thrashing and rolling in the water.

However, Tang Zhendong was also in a bad state. As he struck the fish, its powerful tail hit him, and the immense force sent him flying out of the water.

Tang Zhendong took a deep breath and dived back into the water, determined to catch the fish that dared to strike him.

Tang Zhendong had always been a person who didn't back down. The more arrogant you were, the more he would try to outdo you. This was true when he was a child and even in prison. As a high school student, he had earned respect in a prison full of serious criminals, rising to the top. This showed that Tang Zhendong was a person who never gave up and was always ready to fight. In his dictionary, there were no words for giving up.

When Tang Zhendong dived back down, the large fish with dark spots was resting in a coral reef, watching him warily.

Tang Zhendong's previous strike had left a deep impression on the fish.

The coral reef was actually a cluster of rocks, with various shellfish living on it.

Suddenly, a black light flashed in Tang Zhendong's eyes, as if the sky had turned dark. This was definitely not due to the fish's spots.

The big fish was clearly afraid of Tang Zhendong, as his strike had left an indelible mark.

Just as Tang Zhendong was about to swim forward, he saw the source of the black light. A large clam was sitting in the reef, its shell open like a pot lid, revealing a huge black pearl, slightly smaller than an egg but much larger than a quail's egg.

If the clam hadn't opened its shell, Tang Zhendong wouldn't have noticed it, as the shell was covered with various shellfish and looked just like the reef.

The big fish seemed to notice that Tang Zhendong had spotted the black pearl. It became furious, as if Tang Zhendong had wronged its fish wife. It shook its tail and swam toward Tang Zhendong, opening its large mouth to try to swallow him.

Tang Zhendong had already recovered from the shock of seeing the huge black pearl. The fish was moving extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon him. Without time to think, Tang Zhendong suddenly leaned back, and the fish narrowly missed his chest, instead biting the back of his undershirt, which had been pulled taut by the sudden movement.

It was September, and although the midday was warm, the early morning and evening were quite cold. Tang Zhendong had only taken off his outer shirt and hadn't had time to remove his undershirt before diving into the water.
