"Old Tom, when you didn't breathe pure oxygen, what was your highest underwater breath-holding record?"
The long-silent Taotie suddenly spoke up.
Tom was startled by Taotie's question.
"Underwater breath-holding record without pure oxygen?"
Tom asked in return.
"Yes!"
Taotie nodded, "How long?"
Without a second thought, Tom answered, "18 minutes!"
"Whew..."
Taotie let out a breath, "18 minutes should be enough!"
An 18-minute underwater breath-holding record revealed Tom's talent as a top assassin. Underwater breath-holding, an extreme sport, with a world record holder who had pre-breathed pure oxygen to increase the oxygen content in their body, was only 24 minutes and 33 seconds.
Tom could do 18 minutes without pure oxygen.
That was incredibly strong!
"In a moment, listen to my command, when I say breathe in, you breathe in, and right after that you start holding your breath. If the Old Zongzi in the coffin doesn't leave, even if it kills us, don't you dare breathe!"
