Chapter 70 Underwater (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Monthly Votes!)
When the flying boat was still fifty meters above the lake's surface, Li Shiming leaped from the deck, his body tightly held straight as he plunged downwards.
"Heh heh, a Qi Refining Early Stage kid trying to escape, I'll go take care of it, you hurry up with the flying boat!" a Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivator told his comrade.
After speaking, he broke away from his associate and chased after Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's body entered the water like a needle, minimizing the splash to penetrate deeper into the water.
Just now, he had consulted the national diving team's research documents through an IBMz15, and with a cultivator's control over their body, although he couldn't reach a perfect score of 10 points, he believed he could surely score at least 9.5 points without a problem.
Once submerged, due to the lack of a spell for breathing underwater, he immediately took out an oxygen bottle and a breathing mask from the mechanical space room.
He had prepared this well in advance, when he saw the Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivators release poison gas within Central Capital, he had thought of countermeasures and made the oxygen bottles and breathing masks.
Only he hadn't anticipated that the first use of the oxygen bottle and mask would be for underwater activity.
He vigorously moved his limbs, trying to increase his swimming speed, to get as far away as possible.
But he hadn't swum far before he realized how flawed his choice was.
The moment the Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivator entered the water, a cloud of black mist blocked the water from closing in.
In the water, the Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivator moved slower, but compared to Li Shiming's normal human swimming, it was many times faster.
