“Xiao Chen, I can hold my breath underwater for such a long time!”

“Xiao Chen, I can see so clearly underwater that I can even make out the grains of sand on the bottom!”

“Xiao Chen, the fish in the water aren’t scared of me either!”

Upon Lin Zichen’s suggestion, Shen Qinghan continuously tried various maneuvers in the water to test her aquatics.

Every time she finished a test, her little face would be covered in amazement, never having imagined herself capable of such incredible underwater feats.

She suddenly felt like she didn’t quite understand herself.

Lin Zichen watched the entire process by her side, his face equally filled with amazement.

Shen Qinghan’s abilities in the water were in no way inferior to his own, as someone blessed with the “Water Fusion Fortune”.

If these extraordinary aquatic abilities weren’t a superpower, then what were they?

Bedwetter? No, a Water Elementalist!

In the subsequent time, Lin Zichen had Shen Qinghan perform various underwater maneuvers to see if any special changes would occur in her body.

For example, whether her pores would expand or contract unusually, her body temperature would suddenly rise or drop, or her heartbeat would suddenly speed up or slow down, and so on.

But after observing for a while, he discovered nothing.

When Shen Qinghan was submerged, her bodily state was no different from an ordinary person’s; there were no particular changes.

“It seems, just by observing her from the side, I probably won’t be able to find the answer. I’ll need to search online later or look through related books; that might solve this mystery…” Lin Zichen silently contemplated.

As he was contemplating this, Shen Qinghan, who had been holding her breath underwater for more than ten minutes, suddenly burst out of the water with a splash.

Her entire little face was flushed from holding her breath.

She was taking in big gulps of fresh air.

After she caught her breath a bit, she looked at Lin Zichen with an expectant face and asked, “Zi Chen, how long did I hold my breath?”

“11 minutes and 02 seconds,” Lin Zichen answered after glancing at the timer on his phone.

This duration of holding breath underwater was simply unattainable without professional training.

However, Shen Qinghan, who had never even been to a swimming pool all her life, could now hold her breath underwater for such a long time; it was simply defying the natural order.

Realizing this, Shen Qinghan became extremely excited, “Zi Chen, it seems I really have a talent for aquatic abilities. I’m not just a good-for-nothing damsel!”

“You were never a good-for-nothing to begin with. You scored in the top 100 for the cultural subjects in the district middle school examination, that’s an achievement many can only dream of!”

“But, in front of you, I am just a good-for-nothing…”

“…I’ve already said, you’re not a good-for-nothing.”

Shen Qinghan hadn’t finished speaking when Lin Zichen, floating in front of her, interrupted her.

After that, silence fell over the two of them.

Only the sound of the water surging and the sea breeze whistling, occasionally lingering and flowing past their ears, remained.

After about three seconds, Shen Qinghan said with a sweet and pleasant smile, “Yes, I’m not a good-for-nothing. I never have been, I’m not now, and I won’t be in the future.”

It was a smile from the heart, filled with genuine joy.

At that moment, Lin Yansheng shouted to them from the shore, “Zi Chen, Han Han, come over for the barbecue!”

As his voice reached them, a tantalizing aroma of meat also wafted over.

Shen Qinghan, just by smelling it from a distance, couldn’t help but swallow her saliva and then turned to Lin Zichen with a smile, saying, “Zi Chen, let’s go have some barbecue!”

After speaking, she turned towards the shore, eager to swim up and enjoy the delicious barbecue.

Just as she was about to make a swimming motion, she suddenly paused in the water and didn’t move at all, her complexion looking somewhat peculiar.

Seeing this familiar unusual expression, Lin Zichen realized something and instantly went numb, hurriedly pretending to know nothing and started swimming quickly toward the shore.

Though he felt numb, he knew Shen Qinghan didn’t do it on purpose and didn’t blame her one bit.

After all, there were things that she truly couldn’t control.

Evening.

Lin Zichen lay on his bed with his phone, describing one by one Shen Qinghan’s incredible performances in the water today, searching for information online.

However, he found nothing.

He was impressed, how could the search engines of this world be so lame, clueless at every turn?

First there was the “Abyssal Giant Butterfly,” then the “Life Origin,” and now Shen Qinghan’s “Heaven-defying Water Affinity”—none of them yielding the information he wanted.

This world truly was a mystery, a mystery where everything was the unknown.

It had a kind of beauty—like living in a fairy tale without having learned science.

Shaking his head, he put the phone down.

Lin Zichen, taking advantage of the dead of night when no one was around, left the seaside room and ran to swim in the sea for training.

Originally, he had wanted to run for fitness, but thinking about the indescribably pleasant feeling of being immersed in water, he couldn’t help but switch to swimming instead.

At this stage, his yearning for water was stronger than it had ever been before.

The reason for this change was the effect of the “Biometric Attributes: Water Fusion Fortune.”

He figured he would need to soak in the water a few more times, get accustomed to it and bored of it, lose the novelty, and then he could return to normal.

[You swam 10 kilometers, Qi-Blood +8888, total muscle strength +2000, muscle coordination +2000, water affinity +1000, swimming technique +1000]

[You dove and swam 10 kilometers, Qi-Blood +8888, total muscle strength +2000, muscle coordination +2000, water affinity +1000, deoxygenation ability +1000, water pressure resistance +1000, diving skill +1000]

After more than two hours, Lin Zichen finally completed his swimming training.

He sat on the shore for almost half an hour to rest, feeling almost recovered, and soon dived back into the water.

But this time, he didn’t train in swimming; instead, he held his breath to explore the underwater world.

[You are using your eyes in the dim depths of the sea, deoxygenation ability +1, water pressure resistance +1, underwater vision +1, night vision +1…]

After some exploration, Lin Zichen found that the marine world seemed much richer than the land.

To put it simply with two idioms, it was vibrant and colorful, full of variety and diversity.

The marine life that lived below was even more diversified and bizarre than terrestrial creatures.

“The sea truly is the Origin Land of life; its depth seems much greater than that of the land. I hope that one day I can evolve to live in water so as to explore the mysterious depths of the sea…”

With this possibly achievable dream, Lin Zichen continued to hold his breath and explore the seabed, training his deoxygenation ability and resistance to water pressure.

[You are holding your breath in the dim depths of the sea, deoxygenation ability +1, water pressure resistance +1]

[You are using your eyes in the dim depths of the sea, deoxygenation ability +1, water pressure resistance +1, underwater vision +1, night vision ability +1,]

[You are moving in the dim depths of the sea, aquatic locomotion ability +1, water affinity +1…]

In this way, Lin Zichen intermittently held his breath for training in the sea depths for nearly two hours. Seeing it was about time, he resurfaced and returned to the seaside room to rest.
