Chapter 37 - 31: The Start of Big Waves
[Resurrection Chances: 3]
[Adventure Level: 1+]
[Type: Special, Survival]
[Identity: Passenger of ’Skinny Pole’]
[Mainline: Survive for three months]
[Non-essential Task: Survive for four months]
[Note 1: For every 21 days survived, you get one enhancement choice, up to a maximum of 5 times]
[Note 2: Due to completing one hunt, maximum choices increased to 6 times]
...
He opened his eyes.
Zhang Feng smelled the unique fishy scent of the sea breeze and saw that he was on a ship.
This ship was about thirty meters long and ten meters high, a rather non-standard large fishing boat.
Zhang Feng was a tourist going out to sea, currently watching the sea from the deck.
At the same time.
Zhang Feng looked around and saw a young man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old by the railing two meters away, also watching the sea.
Zhang Feng quickly concluded that there was no immediate danger.
’Let’s check the enhancement.’
Zhang Feng looked at the text in his vision.
[Choose your first enhancement]
[1: Intermediate Water Knowledge]
[2: Dangerous Game (Hearing Loss)]
[3: A Miao Dao]
...
Zhang Feng quickly skimmed through.
The Miao Dao was just an ordinary cutting tool.
There had been similar ’weapon options’ before.
But because it was a common entry, they were all regular weapons.
Zhang Feng skipped over it at first, then looked at 1.
[Intermediate Water Knowledge: Common]
[Effect: You will gain memory related to swimming and knowledge about water areas and changes in currents, etc.]
It’s knowledge-based.
But this body already had some memory skills related to ’swimming’.
Plus, since I’m on the sea now, there’s plenty of time to learn.
Zhang Feng hesitated for less than a second, then looked eagerly at 2.
Because in the last adventure world, completing a dangerous game yielded ’rare entry rewards’.
And having reviewed all the options now, there was clearly no better starting choice than it.
So Zhang Feng directly chose 2.
The rougher the sea, the more expensive the fish.
Resurrection allows for mistakes.
’Hearing Loss’, I’ve got experience with it.
[Dangerous Game (Hearing Loss): Rare, only appears at the first enhancement]
[Current Negative Effect: Hearing Loss]
[Effect: After surviving 24 hours, your hearing loss symptoms will disappear, and you will receive Constitution +0.6 as compensation, along with one additional enhancement choice]
...
Silence.
After Zhang Feng made his choice, he felt that long-lost tranquility.
In the meantime, he also checked the attributes of this body.
[Constitution: 13]
[Root Bone: 0.2]
[Martial Arts: 0.7]
Not bad!
Although the innate talent isn’t great, the ’time’ in this world isn’t long.
Having a higher Constitution can cope with some emergencies.
’There’s a bit of muscle memory.’
Zhang Feng recalled memories and saw some Sanda practice.
Thus, many techniques could be executed without worrying about muscle strains from overexertion.
But within a few seconds.
The ship suddenly began to sway.
Even though Zhang Feng couldn’t hear anything, he felt the instability in his body and saw the waves on the sea surface rising and falling.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng quickly steadied his swaying body using the shipboarding knowledge in his mind and his over thirty years of understanding of the human body’s functions.
He slightly crouched, sunk his waist, but didn’t take a horse stance; instead, he moved up and down with the ship’s sway like a wave.
Strange yet natural.
’This place is nice.’
Zhang Feng praised, thinking with the mindset of someone who’s practiced martial arts for years that this was a good place to train!
Especially as his hearing faded away.
With a clear mind, Zhang Feng quickly calmed himself and experienced the wonder of this undulating Power.
Because Zhang Feng’s memory told him.
The ship only had some ordinary fishermen and a few regular passengers onboard.
They posed no threat.
So, why not take advantage of this great opportunity with the swaying ship to practice the ’Stable Strength’ of lower-body skills.
’I once heard my master say that in ancient times, there were Fist Skill experts who practiced Martial Arts on a galloping fierce horse.’
Zhang Feng carefully experienced, his body moving up and down with the ship,
’They wanted to use the bumpiness of the horse to train their own stable lower-body skills.
And now, training on this rocking ship is quite similar.’
In ancient times, there was a poem, ’When the mind is agitated, desires run wild like monkeys and horses.’
There is also a saying in the world, ’Tame the mind’s monkey, subdue the intent’s horse, and only then find enlightenment.’
And now.
Zhang Feng turned it another way, practicing his own ’Taming the Fierce Horse’, to meet the Stable Strength’s Grandmaster level.
Meanwhile.
Originally, Zhang Feng’s strange rocking form should have surprised the young man next to him.
"..." But at this moment, instead of being amazed, the young man was shouting something to Zhang Feng, looking very anxious.
After shouting this, he ran directly forward to the right.
Zhang Feng closed his eyes to rest, still very at ease.
"..." The young man ran forward, and seeing Zhang Feng wasn’t following, he couldn’t help but call out anxiously a few more times.
When he saw that Zhang Feng still ignored him, he finally got frustrated and anxiously left.
And barely five minutes later.
A wave of silent giant waves rose from the nearby sea surface.
Zhang Feng had not yet noticed, instead savoring the essence of cultivation.
Meanwhile, at this moment.
On the small boat outside the big ship.
"Holy crap!"
The young man on the small boat, along with a dozen others, when they saw Zhang Feng at the position at the bow of the big ship, still so leisurely as the giant wave was about to roll in.
They couldn’t help but admire him.
"Why can someone still look so cool before dying?"
"The big ship is leaking at the bottom and about to sink, the broadcast has shouted several times, how can he still remain unfazed before death?"
"This guy is so badass..."
"Look, look, the waves are about to crash on him, and he’s still standing there!"
The people on the boat were also afraid their small boat would capsize, fearing it would be hard for them to survive in the stormy sea.
But at this moment.
They were more amazed at Zhang Feng’s fearless stance in the face of death.
It was really admirable.
Especially when a wave rose over a dozen meters high, about to crash onto Zhang Feng’s head, and Zhang Feng was still leisurely closing his eyes to rest.
This gave the people on the boat a shocking visual of human fearlessness in the silent face of nature’s power.
Then, crash—
The fierce water wave crashed onto the bow, sweeping away the suddenly reacting Zhang Feng.
’Damn it? Where did this huge wave come from?’
As he was swept into the sea by the wave, Zhang Feng tried to swim to the surface, but his somewhat crude swimming skills couldn’t get him out of the turbulent rolling waves.
Even though Zhang Feng’s control of his body was already at a level that could be called Grandmaster Level.
But when hit by the wave, Zhang Feng was unprepared and didn’t take a proper breath.
Failing to catch a breath, he suddenly choked on several mouthfuls of seawater.
Zhang Feng couldn’t muster his power naturally.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
In the end, Zhang Feng drowned, disappearing into the cold, dark depths of the sea.
Disappearing under the admiring eyes of the small boat’s people.
...
[You have 2 resurrection opportunities left]
[Please choose your first reinforcement]
[1: Dangerous Game (random disability)]
[2: Digestion and Absorption +30g]
[3: Reaction Speed -0.006]
...
Opening his eyes, it was a not-so-standard large fishing boat. freewebnσvel.cѳm
’Is this the start of the natural disaster? I was too complacent back then, really didn’t expect it.’
Zhang Feng had the experience and looked at the options in front of him.
No need to say, naturally it’s 1.
A rare opportunity, can’t be easily thrown away.
[Effect: Random disability, recover after 24 hours, receive Constitution +0.6 as compensation, and gain an additional reinforcement choice]
...
After choosing.
Zhang Feng could see the surrounding scenes and hear the sound of wind and waves.
His eyes and ears were fine.
Zhang Feng opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "I can speak?"
His throat was fine too.
Sniffing with his nose filled with the smell of sea breeze, his sense of smell was also fine.
Just as he took a step forward, Zhang Feng suddenly staggered forward.
Bang—
In mid-air.
Zhang Feng reacted quickly, barely holding onto the railing beside him to steady himself.
"Are you okay?"
The young man beside him instinctively asked, thinking Zhang Feng hadn’t steadied himself in the swaying of the ship.
"I’m fine." Zhang Feng shook his head, trying to move his right leg but found no feeling in it at all.
’Is my leg broken? Well, at least I won’t be thinking about practicing horse stance on the ship.’
Zhang Feng slowly stood up, holding the railing.
Then he jumped as if savoring the feeling, finding one leg practicing seemed not bad.
Many lower body techniques in martial arts can be practiced on one leg as well.
But now was not the right time.
Zhang Feng quickly looked towards the distant sea, the waves were progressively getting bigger.
The young man also pointed around then, "The wind is too strong, let’s go back to the cabin first."
As he was saying this.
The wind and waves grew larger, and the distant sky turned increasingly gloomy.
"Run! The bottom of the ship is leaking, get to the small boat!"
A voice came from the other side of the ship.
And megaphones were broadcasting, "All personnel on board head to the southwest side of the hull! Attention! Personnel on board..."
The megaphone broadcasted several times.
Meanwhile, the young man, stunned for a few seconds, hurriedly shouted to Zhang Feng, "Quickly, let’s go! There’s a problem with the ship!"
After saying that, he prepared to run to the right front.
Tap tap—
Zhang Feng jumped a few times, finding it impossible to find balance on the shaky boat with one leg, so he shouted towards the young man’s back, "Friend, can you help me? My leg is twisted, can’t move."
"Damn! You couldn’t have twisted it sooner or later, damn you choose this timing!"
After swearing irritably, he quickly ran back, dragging Zhang Feng along, and shouted over the wind and waves, word for word:
"Someone here is injured! Can anyone come to help!!"
