The First Tyrant of Daxia

A young man in his early twenties put his hands on his hips and snorted with his nose turned up. He had the energy of a young man, he was competitive and could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

He was wearing blue and white military armor, which was very impressive.

At this time, someone in the crowd started to make a noise: "I have a good sister who is a concubine in the palace!"

Suddenly, hundreds of people were in an uproar.

"What, there is such a relationship?"

"Your Majesty, don't you hate nepotism? Last time, Marshal Xiao's distant nephew used tiger skin to make a coat and wanted to enter the Naval Academy, but Marshal Xiao broke his legs."

"Tsk tsk, committing a crime against the wind."

"..."

At first, Deng Gu didn't want to pay attention to it, but when his sister was involved, he immediately became unhappy.

Standing in the crowd, with a dark face, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Zhang Han, don't spit blood at me!"

"Bloody spewing?"

"Then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. Let's have a literary duel. There's a pool of water somewhere. If you can hold your breath better than me, I'll assume that you came in with your own strength, not relying on connections!"

Zhang Han snorted. He was young and energetic, and had a group of good brothers behind him. He was like a small leader in the Naval Academy.

Suddenly, hundreds of people cheered and applauded, and kept making noises.

Cao Shu frowned as he watched from the side. These young people had great prospects and most of them were gifted geniuses. It was difficult to tame their edges.

But His Majesty is here at this moment.

"His Majesty……"

Qin Yun waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and said with a smile: "This is what young people should do. If you don't have a temper, you won't be young."

"I have heard of Zhang Han. He has been in the army for a year and has fought twelve times. He was almost expelled, right?"

"But the Navy General Administration was reluctant to give up this talented boy, so after punishing him, they kept him."

Cao Shu blushed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you were also alarmed."

"This boy is indeed a talented person, aggressive and resolute, though a little youthful and hot-tempered. However, he has turned the tides at sea and is definitely a great general."

As he spoke, he couldn't help himself.

Qin Yun turned around with a half-smile: "Didn't you just say that there are no particularly outstanding people?"

Cao Shu smiled awkwardly and continued to practice Tai Chi, saying, "All excellent, all excellent!"

"This Deng Gu is also extraordinary. He is humble and eager to learn. He is low-key, which is very rare. He is also a natural sea commander!"

Qin Yun was speechless and rolled his eyes at him again.

Suddenly, Elder Feng spoke up: "Your Majesty, they have entered the water."

Qin Yun turned around and saw Deng Gu and Zhang Han leaping into a huge pond at the same time in the sunlight. They were floating with their legs up and heads down, motionless, holding their breath.

Diving and swimming are essential skills for every navy officer, just like knowing how to ride a horse is essential for the army.

It depends on the person. Some people can hold it in for a longer time, while others can hold it in for a shorter time.

Hundreds of young naval officers gathered around, looking excited and shouting in cheers.

"Deng Gu, come on, make Zhang Han call you daddy after he loses!"

"Boss Zhang, compared to him, this guy is just a show-off, a relative!"

"come on!"

"..."

Listening to a group of young people shouting, Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh. It was great to be young. Sometimes he felt like he was old.

I couldn't help but feel awakened and excited and curious.

"Come on, get closer. I want to see how long these two can hold it in!"

"Yes!"

Cao Shu and the Jinyiwei followed closely behind him. The group walked through the corridor and stairs and quietly came to the rockery not far from the pond.

The sun gradually became hotter and ripples appeared on the water.

But the two people who jumped in did not move at all, like living dead, and were not affected by the outside world at all.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes!

Ten full minutes passed and the two still hadn't gotten up.

The people on the shore were sweating under the sun, but they still stared intently.

This breath-holding duration is already terrifying, a standard that most navies cannot achieve, and only a very small number of outstanding ones can do it.

Qin Yun was secretly shocked in the dark. My goodness, these two guys are both very brave!

Everyone wait...

Every minute and every second feels long.

That’s what holding your breath in water is like. It’s easy at the beginning, but becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on. If you’re not careful, you’ll be killed.

Another six minutes passed. The two of them held their breath for sixteen minutes, almost an incense stick of time.

The faces of the naval generals on the shore changed slightly. None of them could do this.

"Will he drown?"

"Don't let anyone get killed. If the higher-ups find out, we'll all be punished..."

Someone murmured, looking uneasy.

I shouted into the water, "Don't force yourself, come out when you need to!"

But Zhang Han, who was underwater, not only did not come up, but also changed into a comfortable position, continued to hold his breath, opened his eyes wide, and glanced at Deng Gu who was at ease beside him.

Deng Gu also opened his eyes.

The people on the shore were shocked and collectively gasped, what a freak!

"Your Majesty, do you want to call a halt? If this continues, something bad will happen." Old Feng frowned, looking a little worried.

Cao Shu was also sweating.

The two of them were fighting fiercely. If anything went wrong, he, the deputy coach of the Naval Academy, would be punished.

"No!"

"Wait a little longer, let them push themselves to their limits,"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "I should be able to hold it in."

He thought back to his previous life, and the world record holder thousands of years later seemed to be about twenty-four minutes.

Hearing this, everyone wiped the sweat off their foreheads, didn't know what to say, and looked over nervously.

At this point, no one cares about winning or losing, but only about how long the two can hold back.

Eighteen minutes later, the two were still at ease!

Twenty minutes later, the two people underwater already looked a little uncomfortable, with bloodshot eyes.

Twenty-three minutes passed.

Zhang Han couldn't bear it anymore and kept kicking his legs to relieve the pressure, but seeing that Deng Gu was still gritting his teeth and persisting, he didn't want to lose face, so he had to persevere.

In the last minute, we have almost reached the final round.

Zhang Han's face looked a little strange.

But he refused to surface, and his friends on the shore panicked and even wanted to jump into the water to rescue him.

Deng Gu also seemed uncomfortable, but better than Zhang Han.

"Your Majesty, why don't you stop it?" Cao Shu's voice trembled a little.

He seriously suspected that the two people in the water were unconscious.

Qin Yun was also a little unsure. This time was too long. If it continued, it would be the limit of human beings.

He was just about to speak.

Suddenly, there was a splash in the pool, and Deng Gu grabbed Zhang Han and rushed out of the water.

Both of them had red faces, bloodshot eyes, dizzy heads, and were breathing frantically, as if they had been reborn!

"what happened?"

"Deng Gu, if you can't hold on by yourself, why do you want to pull Zhang Han?" someone was unhappy.

Zhang Han yelled, "Shut up!"

His cheeks were burning hot, knowing that Deng Gu had taken the initiative to pull him up at the critical moment to give him a step down, otherwise he would have fainted or lost.

"I lost!" He gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, but still had the courage to admit it.
