"Depending on the fish's lack of oxygen and depletion of strength, this process can vary from several seconds to several minutes. Once the fish can maintain its swimming posture on its own, it has basically recovered its strength."
About a minute later, the large crucian carp started to ease up underwater. Lin Yang slightly loosened his grip, and the fish did not flip over onto its belly, clearly reaching the first benchmark.
"If you're not sure, you can maintain this state for a little longer, but a strong fish will definitely not let you mess with it."
The big fellow in the water gave a flick of its tail and, with a little burst of speed, it shot into the water, leaving the area where Lin Yang had been interfering.
"All right, the release is complete, see you when fate allows!" Lin Yang stood up, waved goodbye to the big carp as it swam away without looking back, rinsed his hands in the water, and then got back on shore.
