"The record for a dive without any aids is around 130 meters, while the world record for unrestricted freediving is 214 meters."

Chu Zihang answered subconsciously, a slight thought stirring in his heart:

"You want to dive to the bottom of the sea?"

"Aren't you curious? Modern civilization has almost certainly confirmed that this creature is extinct. Thousands of expeditions have explored most of the world's oceans without finding them, but now they've swum right up to us."

Lu Mingfei leaned on the mast and looked down, watching the undulating waves spread out into the distance:

"No matter what Old Tang really is, it's undeniable that he has dragon blood. The Ghost Tooth Dragon Viper swam up from the seabed in search of his dragon blood. They are social creatures, but the number of dragon vipers we see now is far from enough to constitute a school of fish. This means that there is something more attractive to them on the seabed, preventing them from coming out in full force."

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds. He couldn't refute what Lu Mingfei said. He thought of something else: the academy would allocate a sum of money every year for marine exploration.

The Lionheart Society is known as a temple within the academy. It is said that no matter who joins the Lionheart Society, they will eventually become high-ranking monks. Everyone lives in strict accordance with the rules, and even those who want to leave the academy for internships must fill out a special form to request leave.

Chu Zihang is the president of the Lionheart Society. All the leave application forms are eventually placed on his desk for him to review. He looks at each one very carefully and then gives them to Susie for safekeeping.

He had seen on several leave forms that some members' internship locations were on an expedition ship, supposedly to search for a ship that sank in the last century in the Japan Trench:

"Did you already know this place was problematic, which is why you specifically chose to fish here?"

"It seems Kassel College has taken notice of this area, given that you're asking this. Could you tell me what they found here?"

Lu Mingfei turned to look at Chu Zihang, "I do know that there is something hidden down there. I originally wanted to find out some people's secrets, but I didn't expect to accidentally discover such an amazing treasure."

"Treasure?"

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, an absolutely amazing treasure, a huge yet slow heartbeat hidden deep in the ocean."

Lu Mingfei nodded. "I heard the heartbeat of this creature somewhere before, so I spent a little more time listening. Right below us, there's a dragon king that's hatching."

"Dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon..."

After Old Tang left, no one practiced his spiel with Fingel anymore. Caesar went to check on Genji's condition. If something happened to the young master of the Snake Clan while he was with them, it would inevitably cause a conflict between the Japanese branch and the headquarters. Fingel was too afraid to stay with Dragon Viper alone, so he went to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang to eavesdrop.

But now he really wanted to slap himself, thinking to himself that curiosity really killed the cat. He slowly stood up, feeling his legs go a little weak.

"Dragon King!"

He poked his head out to look at the sea, felt a little dizzy, and quickly pulled his head back in.

"Junior brother, you can't just say things like that. The academy has been digging all over the world for decades and hasn't found any Dragon Kings. How could we be so lucky as to go fishing and catch a Dragon King from the bottom of the sea? That's even more of a fantasy than Chairman Mao catching a fish!"

"Is it really that unbelievable that I could catch a fish?"

Caesar, his face dark, helped Genji over. As someone who lived a life of pride, he was very sensitive to his own name. He had noticed this side when Fingel called him, and then he heard this older student who had repeated a grade actually questioning his fishing skills!

"It's just an exaggerated rhetorical device. I've been studying Chinese writing techniques recently and plan to write a book about it later."

Fingel was a little embarrassed. It was not a good thing to be caught talking badly about someone behind their back, especially since the person in question was now staring at him with a displeased look.

"What are you all discussing? I think I heard the Dragon King?"

Caesar threw Genjiro to the ground, ignoring Genjiro's resentful gaze, and took out a cigar and lit it.

"Lu Mingfei said he heard the heartbeat of the Dragon King in the sea."

Chu Zihang said.

"The Dragon King's heartbeat? At the bottom of the sea?"

Caesar exhaled a puff of smoke and was choked, bending over and coughing violently. Chu Zihang hesitated for a few seconds, but still went forward to pat him on the back.

"We are now directly above the Japan Trench, which is a deep abyss on the seabed that is thousands of meters long, with its deepest point called the Tuscaloa Deep."

Caesar finally recovered and looked at Lu Mingfei in disbelief:

"Do you know how deep it is? 8513 meters! The world's highest peak, Mount Everest, is only 8848 meters!"

This is even more terrifying than encountering the Dragon King. Although he knew that Lu Mingfei was better at using the Kamaitachi than him, even if he went all out, the Kamaitachi's domain could only cover a radius of a few dozen meters at most, and he would most likely suffer severe mental damage as a result!

Is it possible to hear the heartbeat of the seabed through a Kamaitachi across 8513 meters of ocean water? Caesar knew better than anyone how terrifying this was; the sound the Kamaitachi received across the ocean was many times greater than that on land!

The noise of ocean waves, the sound of schools of fish swimming, the sound of engines passing over the sea, and the conversations of sailors on board. Blue whales are the loudest animals in the world; under ideal conditions, their sounds can travel thousands of kilometers. Low-frequency sounds that are inaudible to the human ear are amplified to their original volume in the territory of the weasel.

This also means that if Lu Mingfei can really expand the territory of the Kamaitachi to such an exaggerated range as Mount Everest, there will be dozens of blue whales singing courtship songs in his ear every moment!

Caesar's eyes twitched, unable to find any words to describe his current feelings. He stared blankly at Lu Mingfei, now absolutely certain that this guy was a pureblood among pure-blooded dragons!

"Under normal circumstances, I really couldn't do that."

Lu Mingfei shrugged. "But I did hear a heartbeat deep in the ocean. Do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you. Although we haven't known each other for very long, you've already given me enough frights, so one more won't hurt."

Caesar rubbed his temples. "So how did you manage that abnormal situation?"

He was tempted. As long as Lu Mingfei said something he could do, he would try it without hesitation. This might be the only chance in his life to expand the Kamaitachi's territory to a height as high as Mount Everest.

Is this an abnormal situation?

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, glanced at Caesar, and then at Yuan Zhisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng was somewhat startled and turned his head instantly.

The kingship was applied to the Kamaitachi's domain as a counterweight, the Vacuum Serpent made it more penetrating, and the bioelectricity on the serpent was enough to repel some fish. Finally, the judgment was used to extinguish any other sounds that approached the domain.

Lu Mingfei can put any idea into practice.
