  Chapter 109: Exercise can make you stronger (36 additional chapters, please vote for me in the new January!)

  Abyss refers to underwater areas with a depth of more than six thousand meters.

  The deepest, most mysterious and darkest abyss trench in the entire blue planet is now in front of You Huan.

  ——Mariana Trench[1], the deepest part of the ocean!

  There is a saying that human beings' exploration of the ocean is not as extensive as that of the universe.

  He wanted to know whether the body of the giant beast, the Level 11 Tailed Rat, could withstand the water pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench?

  He thought this should be no problem.

  Then let's go down and take a look!

  After all... we're here, right?

  A beam of light like a searchlight radiated from the horns on its forehead, illuminating the dark sea ahead.

  In the dark sea water reaching a depth of 5,000 meters, dots of fluorescent blue light gradually connected into a string of ribbons.

  The streamers fluttered downwards, indicating that this huge monster called "God's Punishment" by humans began to move.

  All the way down.

  The Mariana Trench is basically in the shape of a long strip, with a length of more than 2,500 kilometers and an average width of about 70 kilometers.

  According to the latest diving measurement by Country C, its depth is an astonishing 10,900 meters!

  The highest peak in the world is just a little brother in front of it.

  The huge monster Tailed Rat in the human world has become a tiny creature here.

  Six thousand meters, seven thousand meters, eight thousand meters...

  As You Huan continued to dive, the temperature became colder and the water pressure became higher.

  It was as if he was gradually carrying some small iron balls on his back, and he gradually felt the sea water around him squeezing him.

  But everything was within his tolerance.

  Keep diving.

  It is clearly a harsh environment of high pressure, lack of oxygen, and low temperature, with no light and extremely scarce nutrition.

  It sounds like a world lacking vitality.

  But when You Huan actually took a look, he found that this abyss world was full of vitality.

  From more than 5,000 meters to the current depth of more than 9,000 meters.

  Along the way, he continued to discover various marine life.

  Starfish, anemones and sponges grow tenaciously on the pale rocks.

  His passing caused the sea water to flow.

  The aging debris that naturally fell off his body floated with the water.

  These soft creatures shook their bodies as if to welcome this wave of food feast.

  A pale, soft lionfish is swimming in the dark water, searching for its prey.

  Suddenly, a huge fluorescent blue object appeared from behind it.

  It was as if a blue flower was blooming in the abyss.

  In the bright blue light, tentacles like flower stamens suddenly stretched out and wrapped around the lionfish!

  Its prey, a hook shrimp, took the opportunity to escape.

  You Huan rolled up the struggling lionfish with his tongue and watched.

  This fish is skinny and looks unattractive.

  But the soft bodies they have developed during their long evolution can effectively withstand the terrifying high pressure here.

  Faced with water pressure at such a depth, ordinary people might think of building an extremely hard shell to withstand the pressure.

  But biological evolution tells people that softness is more effective here.

  He swallowed the abyss lionfish, but because the size difference between the fish and his own was so huge, he almost didn't realize that he had eaten a fish.

  Well, as expected.

  No benefits were provided.

  Even though this lionfish is probably the deepest-living vertebrate on the blue planet, it is the king of stress resistance.

  But it is only derived from conventional evolution and is not at a level beyond that of ordinary life.

  There are no special mutations.

  Everything is the most basic law of nature.

  You Huan shook his head and continued to dive.

  When he reached a depth of about 10,000 meters, the pressure on his body was already becoming heavy.

  The wonders created by nature made him feel like he was squeezed into a pile of iron.

  There was tremendous pressure coming from all directions.

  But... I can resist!

  Not only can I resist, he even found that the heavy pressure in the abyss seemed to have a training effect on him?

  Moving under such high pressure made his muscles tense, his organs functioned at a faster speed, and his blood flowed as if boiling.

  Human beings can improve their qualities in all aspects through physical exercise.  

  Monsters are also living things, so of course they can do the same.

  But ordinary exercise is not exercise at all for monsters and has no training effect at all.

  When he came to this ten thousand meter deep abyss, under the pressure of terrifying water pressure, his body began to "move"!

  The abyss acted like a "gym" for him!

  This discovery surprised him.

  If the pioneers don't come, the monsters won't come.

  If monsters don't come, there will be very few advanced evolution points.

  There are very few advanced evolution points, so the level cannot be raised.

  In this situation, being able to train and become stronger under high pressure is a godsend.

  Without hesitation, he swung his tail, the dark sea water whipped out waves of sound, and he moved actively at the bottom of the abyss.

  Charge, wave claws, flick tail, and bite.

  It seemed as if an imaginary enemy appeared in front of him.

  Without using any skills, he simply fights with his claws and his body.

  ...Although there was no actual enemy, You Huan's whole body became hot due to this combat-like training.

  The faster heartbeat and blood flow become gradually obvious.

  It's just like how people feel when they exercise to a certain level.

  Even more obvious.

  He could even clearly feel that his body was getting stronger bit by bit through exercise!

  Although the speed of becoming stronger is very slow and the amplitude is small, it is far slower than an upgrade.

  The advantage is that it does not need to rely on a panel, does not require evolution points, strengthening points, and even function cards are not needed.

  Just the most basic exercises can make you stronger!

  His movement stirred up a cloud of dust at the bottom of the trench, which was more than 10,000 meters deep.

  Many nutrient debris deposited from the upper ocean were stirred up, triggering a feast for the surrounding abyss creatures.

  I don't know how long he has been training here, even he, as a monster, feels tired.

  He finally stopped.

  First, I sensed the degree of strength.

  The overall physical fitness has probably improved by about 0.02% compared to before.

  Although it is small, it is not something he can only exercise once.

  Little by little, his improvement will probably reach a terrifying level.

  He decided that this Abyss Gym would be his home for some time to come.

  He lives here!

  Lying down on the seabed to rest and relieve his fatigue a little, he began to think about two things.

  The first thing is that the effect of the ten thousand meter abyss on his physical fitness seems to be surprisingly good.

  Even though the water pressure here is very high, the monster is designed to be able to withstand strong pressure.

  Although this pressure can be described as "a bit heavy", it is not an exaggeration.

  Can this level of water pressure alone bring him such obvious exercise effects?

  You know, he is a monster with a panel level of 11.

  To achieve the effect of exercise on the basis of such terrifying physical fitness, it means that the exercise effect here is amazing.

  Maybe there's something else peculiar here?

  This is worth exploring.

  In addition, from the previous experiment with new uses of acid abilities to the current Abyss Gym...

  He won't say anything big like "getting rid of the panel", but it is still meaningful to have more ways to become stronger that don't rely on the panel.

  This reminded him of something.

  In the original world, don't those extraordinary people rely on specific methods to enhance their physical fitness?

  Can he get a method that is effective against monsters from them, or from the monsters in the original world?

  In this way, he will definitely become stronger faster!

  　There will still be five chapters today, and two more chapters.

  　　[1] Mariana Trench is an uncommon translation of a trench that I chose, in order to avoid being too closely associated with reality.

  　　In 2020, our country's manned submersible went down to explore and made many interesting discoveries.

  　　The depth of this trench is measured differently by each team, so there is no need to worry about it.

  　　Also, "abyss" is a term used in the marine science community, and it is different from the abyss in literary and artistic works.
