Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 165 Entering the sea
"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Hu Xiaobei lowered his waist and sat on the horse, getting into the starting posture of the eighth-level boxing, and his aura suddenly changed.

"what!"

"Xi!"

The eighth-level boxing emphasizes "fists like meteors, eyes like lightning, waist like snakes and feet like drills". He threw a swift punch, and wherever the fist went, the sea water in front of him was torn into a short and tiny gap.

However, the huge water pressure instantly filled the gap, and the fist wind was ruthlessly weakened by the resistance of the sea water.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Every punch he throws is like pushing away an invisible mountain.

Hu Xiaobei only felt that his muscles were extremely sore from being compressed, and sweat slid uncontrollably from his forehead, as if falling into the shadow, or merging into the endless sea.

But he gritted his teeth, and performed every move without ambiguity. Relying on his own powerful strength, he completed the entire set of extremely powerful level eight punches.

The residual force of the eighth-level punch had not yet dissipated, but the depth of the sea had reached 180 meters.

Hu Xiaobei turned his body and stopped being tough and fierce. Instead, he performed Xingyiquan.

Xingyiquan is based on the theory of the Five Elements. Its five punches, namely chop, collapse, drill, cannon and horizontal, correspond to gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

He first threw a chopping punch, his arm like an axe, chopping down with the momentum of splitting the world, stirring up a turbid undercurrent in the water.

Immediately afterwards, the Beng fist came out swiftly, and the fist force was like an arrow, piercing straight forward. A small area of ​​sea water was impacted by this powerful force and surged around.

"what!"

"Xi!"

The strength of Xingyiquan collided violently with the resistance of the sea water. Every time Hu Xiaobei exerted force, he felt as if his body was being pulled by countless invisible hands.

But his eyes remained firm, and in this environment of heavy pressure, he displayed the essence of Xingyiquan to the fullest.

As the sea water depth reached nearly three hundred meters, Hu Xiaobei adjusted his breathing again and started practicing Tai Chi.

Tai Chi emphasizes "using softness to overcome hardness, and using stillness to control movement", and its movements are like flowing clouds and water, continuous and uninterrupted.

His hands slowly paddled in the water, driving his body to make smooth movements, as if he had merged with the sea water.

Each move was infinitely amplified by the resistance of the sea water, and his breathing became deeper and slower.

The seemingly gentle movements actually contained powerful internal energy. Driven by him, the sea water formed soft little whirlpools that wrapped him up.

After finishing a set of punches, Hu Xiaobei was already out of breath, his legs were trembling slightly, and his lungs felt like they were burned by fire.

He had never imagined that practicing boxing in such an environment would be so stressful.

But he was also pleasantly surprised to find that practicing boxing in the sea water at a depth of 100 to 300 meters was far more effective than practicing on land.

Every muscle seemed to have been tempered to an unprecedented depth, and there was an illusory feeling that one's own strength was constantly growing and potential was being stimulated bit by bit.

However, everything is excessive, so Hu Xiaobei stopped exercising and slowly restored his shadow to its original appearance when he first entered the sea, while adjusting his own state to swim in the sea.

What does the ocean look like at a depth of ten to three hundred meters?

Out of curiosity, he began to use his spiritual perception to observe the surrounding environment and marine life bit by bit.

At this time, the sea water around Hu Xiaobei had already returned to normal, and there was no trace of boxing practice.

I saw a giant leatherback turtle, more than two meters long, swimming slowly. The higher it went upstream, the more colorful fish swam around it.

He was also amazed by the variety of bizarre underwater creatures. The wild bamboo shrimp from the waters off Xiangshan are enormous, with firm, chewy, and fragrant meat, earning them the nickname "Hermes of shrimp."

The small yellow croaker, nourished by warm water systems, has few bones, tender meat, and delicious taste. The fish body is firm and bounces back quickly when pressed lightly. After cooking, the garlic clove meat has distinct texture and is tender and juicy.

The East China Sea silver pomfret, which grows in a unique ecological environment, has a flat body, silver-like scales, an elegant swallowtail-shaped tail, fine meat fibers, and few intramuscular bones. After steaming, it retains its original flavor and melts in your mouth.

Thanks to the natural fishing grounds, the sea-caught cutlassfish has a slender and thick body, silvery scales, and rich oil. No matter whether it is fried or stir-fried, the house will be filled with fragrance.

The swimming crab absorbs rich nutrients from the Xiangshan waters. The male crabs are full of meat, the female crabs are covered with red cream, and the crab roe is dense and mellow, which makes you feel extremely happy when eating it.

The abalone, which is rooted in the high-quality reef environment, has plump meat and a bright texture. Whether it is steamed with garlic or served cold with sauce, it is irresistible.

There are also the clams that live in the warm mudflats. Their shells are oval, light brown, and have purple edges. They are known as the "freshest in the world". Just by simply cooking them into soup, they are so delicious that it will make people drop their eyebrows.

There was a glint of excitement in Hu Xiaobei's eyes, and the spirit of a young chef hidden deep in his bones seemed to be ignited unconsciously.

Suddenly, he controlled the shadow to extend a long tentacle, which quickly reached out to a group of wild bamboo shrimps swimming not far away.

The shadow tentacles accurately caught dozens of palm-length wild bamboo shrimps. The shrimps struggled inside the shadow tentacles but were unable to break free.

Then he saw a fat king crab, and naturally did the same thing and caught the king crab as well.

It can be said that we have gathered all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

If he caught a swimming crab, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't care too much, but this is a king crab after all.

It’s not that this thing is so rare, but it’s very common.

Although a large number of imported king crabs are distributed in Xiangshan, there is no natural distribution of king crabs around the coast.

But no one knows where this king crab came from!

In order not to affect the food chain near Xiangshan, Hu Xiaobei could only put up with it and use his stomach to help it pass away tomorrow.

Since the initial dive went very smoothly, under the protection of the shadow, he dived more than 300 meters into the sea without noticing anything unusual.

Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but gain confidence and began to dive deeper. As the depth increased, the sea water pressure became greater and greater.

When diving to a depth of more than 500 meters, Hu Xiaobei could already clearly feel the pressure that Shadow was bearing.

His brows were slightly furrowed, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his eyes, and he could feel the shadow "trembling" slightly under the heavy pressure.

He tried to continue diving, but every time he dived deeper, the pressure increased and the shadow's "trembling" became more obvious.

"No, we can't go on. There's no need to take the risk!"

Hu Xiaobei pondered in his heart, and a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes. Although he was far from reaching his limit, he decisively stopped diving and began to swim slowly upwards.

During the ascent, the pressure became less and less, and his mood gradually relaxed. Looking at the sea water around him that was gradually becoming softer, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Finally, Hu Xiaobei broke out of the water and flew into the air. The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty smell of the sea, blew in his face.

A smile played on his lips as he glanced at the seafood he was holding firmly with his shadow tentacles.

There are king crabs with bared fangs and claws, wild bamboo shrimps, meaty abalone, and clams with oval shells. These are all unexpected harvests of this evening.

Hu Xiaobei spread his shadow wings and flew towards the hotel at high speed.

From a distance, he saw the outline of the hotel gradually becoming clear in the night, with a few lights dotted around, which seemed to be his signposts.

Covered by the shadow, he hid in the darkness and flew back to his room silently.

Hu Xiaobei controlled the shadow and sorted the spoils, ensuring their survival while avoiding some trouble.

After finishing the job, he dragged his tired but satisfied body into the bathroom.

The hot water washed away the salty smell of the sea and the fatigue of the night on his body.

After washing up, he slowly walked to the bed and fell into the soft quilt.

As soon as my head touched the pillow, sleepiness came over me like a tide, and I soon fell into a sweet dream.
