10 - 8 Skill Effect \"Iron Fist","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-10",10,"\u003Cp>Fang Cheng raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the panel emitting a brighter light than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right side of the \"Boxing\" skill column, two small arrows appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They respectively listed the specific content of two enhancement directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Enhancement One: 6 Free Attribute Points Reward]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Enhancement Two: 1 Constitution Point Reward, Skill Effect \"Iron Fist\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note, this effect allows the bones and muscles of the palm to attain twice the toughness of the total Constitution attributes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enhancement choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when upgrading the \"Speed Reading\" skill, Fang Cheng had encountered this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, in order to improve his learning efficiency as soon as possible, he had forsaken a 4-point Spirit Attribute enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose another enhancement direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 Spirit Attribute point, and a skill effect that quadrupled reading memory — \"Eye Rapid Rotation\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a similar choice appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this time, both enhancement rewards were more generous and highly compatible with Fang Cheng's current needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choose Enhancement One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding these 6 Free Attributes to Strength and Agility could instantaneously bring him up to the physical quality of a professional boxer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choose Enhancement Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it would only add 1 Constitution point, having fists as hard as iron undeniably enhances one's combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More crucially, the skill effect has growth potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 points in Constitution could achieve the effect of 20 points; 20 points would equate to 40 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so forth, one could barely imagine how terrifying these hands would become as they developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, tearing apart a Gundam isn't just a dream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One choice offers a short-term gain, the other focuses on long-term development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a few seconds, Fang Cheng made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choose Enhancement Two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he silently wished in his heart, it felt as if the blood in his body started to boil, rushing toward his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt his hands suddenly tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Palms, finger bones, and the muscles attached to the joints seemed to be compressed powerfully from the outside inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intense pain occurred in just a moment and then abruptly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two small arrows on the panel also vanished with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng looked down at his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sunlight, his fingers appeared pale and slender, with distinct joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the surface of the skin, there were seemingly no traces of enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the savage strength contained within was tangibly palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng muttered to himself, slowly clenching his hands, his knuckles cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possess the fists of a Boxing King...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in terms of hardness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a wave of weakness hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stomach growled, and stomach acid churned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body uncooperatively protested, as if he had been starving for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After starting \"Potential Activation,\" he had been too engrossed in the delightful sensation of tormenting his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even forgotten to eat breakfast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the clock on the table, it showed 10:59.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From 5 a.m. up until now, he had been training for a whole six hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary person, this was practically a death-seeking pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, my Constitution isn't what ordinary people can compare to now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Constitution attribute that had risen to 10 points on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, with a steady mindset, unflustered, walked into the bathroom to grab a towel and wipe his sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An average adult male's level is about 9 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 points would roughly be the level of someone who exercises regularly, an amateur fitness enthusiast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what Fang Cheng deduced by comparing his situation with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for above 10 points, that clearly surpassed most ordinary people, reaching the physical quality of professional athletes — truly an elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could continue to successfully unlock and upgrade \"Prisoner's Six Arts,\" the attributes would at least approximate 20 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, his physical stamina and recovery rate would be incomparable to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could compete on the same stage with the world's top athletes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, participating in an international marathon to compete for the championship prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, doing 1000 push-ups continuously without breaking a sweat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, his eyes filled with the joy of growing stronger and his visions for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking about these things now is still a bit premature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wiping off his sweat, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, opened the old, yellowed fridge at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the inside was empty except for two cabbages and a half box of yogurt, nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food he had stocked for a week had already been finished early due to his increased appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit disappointed, Fang Cheng picked up the half box of yogurt and slowly licked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then put on a jacket, stuffing clothes and toiletries into his shoulder bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decided to take a half-day off today, first he would go to the public bathhouse downstairs for a hot bath to relax the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then head to the supermarket to buy some groceries, come back to cook, and practice Cooking Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially eating a few more honey braised chicken legs he just learned to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exercise, rest, and nutrition replenishment have always been the three major elements of fitness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the afternoon, he planned to visit his grandfather in the hospital and bring a meal to his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day's schedule was packed full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>West Gate District, Ren'an Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is near a suburban park at the foot of West Mountain, far from the bustling city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though remote, it is one of the rare public Grade-A hospitals in East Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng changed into a white hoodie, carrying a shoulder bag and a thermal lunch box, entering the crowded lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't look around, heading straight for the hospital ward's elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for the elevator, he could hear the intermittent cries of children and scolding of adults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even family members of patients arguing and throwing tantrums with the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problems between medical staff and patients are the same everywhere, with no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise of the crowd and the pungent smell of disinfectant mixed together, creating a typical anxious hospital atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the slow-moving numbers on the elevator's display screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng entered into a mode of Concentration, silently reciting content from a law textbook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator finally arrived on the ground floor and the door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, letting the people inside exit first before stepping into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he pressed the door close button, a yell stopped him: \"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rapid footsteps followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tattooed hand stopped the closing elevator doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh, honestly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a rough voice, a burly man dressed in a tight elastic shirt, with bulging pectorals, squeezed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Fang Cheng and forcefully pressed the floor button, complaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young people these days lack the cooperative spirit we had, not helping to press the button when they see someone coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two other flashy-dressed young men who followed him were cursing under their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, a short man with dyed blonde hair, even jumped up, pointing at Fang Cheng and shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty boy, are you blind or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng slightly bowed in apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been too focused on memorizing and hadn't noticed them approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a minor incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appropriate concessions, like a spring breeze, can peacefully resolve unnecessary disputes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three guys were sloppy, not only occupying most of the elevator space,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also smoking and making a fuss, which was genuinely annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng could only stand in the corner, silently listening to their trivial conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, been chasing debts for days just for two thousand bucks, the boss won't kick us out, will he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can we do, they're all poor bums, can't squeeze much out of them, this job is worse than street fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yingjun, you have to be ruthless in life, if you're not, people will look down on you, it's your turn to show it soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, I know, I'm trying to learn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator stopped at each floor, opening and closing its doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People outside who wanted to get on, seeing the three formidable figures, dared not enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, by the 7th floor, the gang-like trio finally left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator returned to peace, continuing to ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The display showed \"8\", and Fang Cheng stepped out of the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the sign \"Oncology Department 2\", then towards the nurses' station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, several nurses in white uniforms and round caps were chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, familiar with the place and the staff, directly approached them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young nurse with a flush face pointed towards the corridor end, room 812.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng smiled, thanked her, picked up his lunch box, and headed in the direction indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the door, the smell of disinfectant hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a newly vacated double room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue sheets, white floor tiles, almost spotlessly clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winter sunlight shone through the opened curtains, casting a tranquil light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the window, a slender, middle-aged woman was mopping the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed simply without any lavish decoration, she exuded a unique warmth and elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng set down the lunch box, walked over, and took the mop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, haven't you had lunch? Let me mop for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman, seemingly preoccupied with her thoughts, startled and immediately looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her furrowed brows then relaxed, revealing a surprised joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chengcheng, how come you're here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1582,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.559Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","aeb51ec4ebacc8f26edfc604395666e188073b242b8322117650c4dbf2dc6b9e","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-11","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-9",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
