Evolution from scratch with added points

"Passive underwater breathing?"

"Can it actually form adaptive evolution at the bottom of the sea?!"

Chen Jue looked at the prompt that popped up on the panel with a dazed look in his eyes.

Tonight's underwater training and Tai Chi were purely inspired by the accident during the daytime diving.

I didn't expect that after diving for more than an hour, in addition to a bunch of attributes, even my body structure has found a small range of changes.

What surprised Chen Jue the most was that the air he inhaled into his chest seemed to be endless.

As the salty and fishy seawater that entered his nasal cavity flowed back into his throat, the feeling of suffocation caused by holding his breath underwater for a long time seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant!

It was as if he, a human being, suddenly mastered the gill breathing method similar to that of fish!

Such an amazing physical evolution immediately made Chen Jue give up the idea of ​​continuing to brush his proficiency.

Because in the past hour, the Lv6 progress bar of both [Three Peaks Tai Chi] and [Tai Chi Thirteen Postures] has advanced by more than 25%.

The convenience of taking root in the seabed and using the undercurrent of the sea to deduce the boxing and standing practice greatly improved Chen Jue's understanding of these two skills.

It was like taking a lot of experience potions and enlightenment pills for skills!

"I remember that Master Chongyang took his disciples to the Shandong seaside to preach and practice in his later years."

"Maybe Master Chongyang, like me, has also traveled in the sea and tempered himself with the power of the ocean currents?"

"Otherwise, why would my Longmen sect pass down the origin of Tai Chi [Water Fist] [Mianquan]?"

"If you don't go into the water, you can only rely on the so-called water-like understanding of heaven and man, and you can't create the true boxing theory of Tai Chi that combines hardness and softness!" Chen Jue remembered some allusions and legends in Quanzhen Longmen, combined with his own practice experience, and roughly figured out why Master Chongyang went east to preach.

In addition to visiting the illusory Penglai Mountain, it is also likely to see the magnificent sea, so as to complement the missionary practice concept of "Quanzhen Hall".

Of course, in addition to these benefits, another skill created by Chen Jue, [Furnace Core], was also upgraded within an hour, from Lv4 to Lv5.

However, the improvement of these skills only brings some benefits to physical attributes.

What Chen Jue is most concerned about at the moment is the adaptive evolution of the body!

…

It took more than a minute to swim to the shore, and Chen Jue returned to the hotel under the cover of night.

He did not rush to verify the new body function of passive underwater breathing, but first logged into the intranet of Jiangda, and searched for the relevant gill slits, gill arches and other prompt words on the panel according to the human anatomy course.

"In the fetal stage, that is, when in the mother's belly, humans have gills, which begin to appear in the 4th to 5th week of embryogenesis, including gill arches, gill grooves (gill clefts), gill membranes and pharyngeal pouches, collectively known as gill organs."

"Fish and amphibians evolved gills that can breathe in water, while human gill organs exist for a very short time and will evolve into other organs and tissues during the fetal period."

"After birth, the human body normally has no gills. However, if there are problems during the development process, such as the gill clefts are not completely degenerated, connected, closed or have residues, it can lead to gill-related lesions, such as gill cleft fistulas, gill cleft cysts and other symptoms."

"In other words, this gill organ is also a degenerate organ like the palmaris longus and coccygeal vertebrae?

"It's just that the degeneration is more thorough! It will only appear during the fetal period! "Chen Jue's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the information in the Jiangda textbook.

There are several hypotheses about the origin of human beings in the scientific community, one of which is the very famous fish evolution hypothesis.

And according to the research in recent years, a very convincing historical chain has been established from fish to humans.

The gills produced in the human fetus are a very convincing piece of evidence in this type of hypothesis.

"I didn't expect that I accidentally stimulated the evolution of the degenerated gills in my body? "After Chen Jue checked the information, his doubts were slightly resolved.

Then he went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water, while looking at the sides of his neck in the mirror.

According to the structural illustrations in the textbook, the degenerate gills of the human body are concentrated in the human neck, with a total of 6 pairs of gill slits, and the distribution area varies from person to person. There are gill slits from tonsils to ears, mandibles and even clavicles.

By looking up the information and combining it with his own evolution, Chen Jue also found the abnormality in his neck area.

First, it is thicker than before, and it looks like he has thyroid hypertrophy.

But this kind of thickness, Chen Jue retracted it by himself shortly after landing.

"It is temporarily impossible to adjust these gill slits and gill arches."

"That means they have only evolved halfway for the time being!"

"It is even very likely that they have only evolved a little bit!"

Chen Jue made a bold guess and recorded this discovery in his "Strongest Human Training Plan". After taking off his clothes, he immersed himself in a bathtub filled with water.

Since the underwater environment can stimulate these degenerated gills to re-evolve, Chen Jue plans to use the artificial water environment to accelerate their evolution.

Because the ocean currents are too turbulent under the ocean.

In addition, the seawater has a strong odor. Even if Chen Jue wants to stimulate the evolution of his body, he does not want to use the salty and smelly seawater for experiments.

But he did not expect that as soon as he soaked in the bathtub and the water covered his head, Chen Jue noticed the movement of his neck.

The two sides of the neck that had shrunk originally swelled up after contacting the water.

This passive reaction to stress surprised Chen Jue, and he also thought in his mind: "The oxygen content in tap water is not low. If I can absorb the oxygen in it through these gills, it means that I have the means to survive underwater for a long time!"

"And the textbook says that humans can breathe without lungs during infancy. The oxygen and nutrient delivery of the mother's umbilical cord alone can ensure growth and development."

"But if you want to transport these oxygen and nutrients to the whole body, you still have to rely on blood circulation."

"The most important thing is that babies can swallow amniotic fluid and soak their lungs in a liquid environment without suffocating."

"It doesn't make sense that my body, which is about to complete [foundation building] and return to the innate from the acquired, can't be!"

So after a burst of imagination, Chen Jue bravely took a sip of tap water from his nasal cavity that covered his head.

The feeling of foreign matter in the water entering the trachea and then the lungs made him cough violently several times underwater.

But when Chen Jue tried a few more times and suppressed the suffocating foreign body feeling with his mental strength of over 4, a magical scene happened!

Chen Jue found that he could actually breathe passively underwater by swallowing tap water and filling his lungs and trachea with water!

As the blood circulation in his body accelerated, he gradually adapted to the foreign body feeling and suffocation of choking water, accompanied by the gills that evolved in his neck.

After soaking in the bathtub for an hour or so, Chen Jue felt that he was about to float in the bladder, so he climbed out of the bathtub and squeezed out all the water in his lungs and trachea.

"Magical!"

"It turns out that breathing underwater feels like this!"

"If I master active [Underwater Breathing], wouldn't I be able to go to the four oceans on the earth?" Chen Jue's eyes were hot.

The sense of achievement and excitement of developing his body even dimmed his expectations for the live broadcast of the challenge tomorrow morning. (End of this chapter)
