room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city at dawn is always exceptionally quiet and serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the dim glow of streetlights, one can see the occasional snowflakes drifting by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a thin sliver of white light emerges in the sky, casting a faint glow on the snow-covered roofs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I woke up a bit late today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng gazed intently at the snowy landscape outside the window, taking a deep breath of the crisp, refreshing air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to start the morning workout!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In snowy weather, it’s better not to go outside to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, after an intense battle last night, I’ve expended a lot of energy and need to reduce the training load to allow my body to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s start with 100 weighted deep squats to warm up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng silently gathered his courage, hoisting three bags of rice over his shoulder, grasping the tops firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he squats down deeply with his hips lowered and stands up straight, beginning to exercise with a load of 150 pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, he finished a set of deep squats in an unrushed manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he practiced push-ups—100 single-arm fist-push-ups per set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light outside the window gradually brightened, the exercising figure slowly became more vivid and lively out of the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>6:45.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning light was soft, and the sky was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planned training regimen was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng also set aside some time specifically to practice stance and breathing techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the window, with his chest withdrawn and his back stretched, with waist and horse integrated, his legs firmly rooted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his abdomen swelled and contracted, his body trembling slightly, emitting an almost imperceptible tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this process, which mimics the snoring of tigers and leopards, he silently felt every subtle change brought by each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurr—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s abdomen swelled slightly, with a clearer tremor, as he exhaled a long, slow breath of turbid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After concluding the exercise, he stood up, stretching his legs and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could faintly sense the warmth generated in his abdomen was becoming a bit more noticeable but still difficult to control and guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This skill indeed can’t be rushed, it seems that consistent effort over time is required to see the effects...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight with the experimental body was perilous and made Fang Cheng realize that his offensive means still had many flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought about whether he could unlock new skills faster to further enhance his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short rest, Fang Cheng looked again at the panel that appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boxing lv2 (147\u002F500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sanda lv2 (126\u002F500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jujitsu

(109\u002F500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting through the gang’s stronghold, the continuous battles had significantly increased the experience of several fighting skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Gun Skill and Blade Technique rose rapidly, achieving consecutive upgrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly after using \"Sword Blade Storm\" to slay the experimental body, his Sword Skill Experience surged by a full 100 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, deep down, Fang Cheng’s true desire was for his flesh and body to one day be strong enough to tear monsters apart with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to rely on external weapons or depend on skill effects with various limitations and uncertainties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ability to generate blade energy several times sharper than a normal attack...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It requires a considerable consumption of spirit and physical energy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze scanning the explanation of \"Sword Blade Storm,\" Fang Cheng frowned in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If validated by his own experience with the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"Blade Energy\" should be a special kind of energy that forms when the body and spirit reach a certain level of synergy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, surely, this type of energy is not just limited to attaching to swords and blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can also be attached to the fists, feet, or even all over the body, inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like... the \"Qigong\" theory that Ma Jianguo mentioned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two should essentially be energies of the same origin and kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing this, Fang Cheng’s eyes became slightly focused, strengthening his determination to practice the Breathing Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could truly cultivate Qigong, then the improvement to his strength would definitely soar at a remarkable rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in the future, when facing monsters like the \"Experimental Body,\" he could penetrate their body with a punch, breaking through their pride in their formidable physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, other than practicing the Breathing Technique, there is currently a very important weakness that needs to be urgently addressed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s thoughts shifted as he recalled that state of frenzy during last night’s battle with the Experimental Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his 30 points of Constitution and 33 points of Spirit Attribute, to deploy Blade Energy and slice through the body of his opponent, causing substantial damage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would probably consume a third of his physical and mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, in one battle, he could use \"Sword Blade Storm\" up to three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the help of Potential Activation to recover his physical strength, his mental state would still be languid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcefully using Skill Effect in that condition might cause him to lose his sanity once again, falling into a state of frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this thought crossed his mind, Lin Chuqiao’s suggestion came to Fang Cheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I should indeed learn to practice meditation and also train my mental will in everyday life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng pondered and looked out of the window at the scene after sunrise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy snow had fallen all night, and the rooftops of the buildings of different heights on Old Factory Street were all covered with a thick layer of snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the sunlight, they looked like rolling snowy mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrow streets beneath the tubular building were also covered in white, becoming purer and cleaner than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many children had run out early in the morning, cheerfully building snowmen and starting snowball fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Fang Cheng’s mood also improved greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making his plans, he turned and walked back to the living room to turn on the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he watched the news and the weather forecast while wiping the sweat from his face and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This station reports that around ten o’clock last night, the police raided a secret warehouse at Dongdu Port, successfully cracking a major human trafficking case. A fierce gun battle occurred during which several criminals were shot dead...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news anchor’s voice echoed in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stepped out of the washroom and took a special glance at the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the fleeting figures of a few familiar people on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Donghe, Chen Yingjun, Zhou Yongnian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their faces were pixelated, people close to them could still make out their shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng smiled slightly, and after understanding the case handling details, he prepared to make breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the doorbell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng quickly walked to the entrance and peered out through the peephole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was Wen Xin standing at the door, he opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, this is the sweet soup mom and I made for you to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xin held a bowl with both hands, being very careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Fang Cheng, she immediately breathed out white air and said carefully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are red beans, taro, and little rice balls inside, it’s really tasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the steam still coming from the bowl, Fang Cheng quickly took it from her hands, inviting her to come inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and enjoyed the breakfast the little girl had prepared with care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xin sat on the side watching him eat, blinking her eyes, her lips moving gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng noticed her expression, so he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s up, do you have something to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xin hesitated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After breakfast, can we go out and play a snowball fight? I haven’t played in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke softly, her eyes showing a longing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng was taken aback for a moment but then nodded agreeably,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s call Sister Zhou too, and we’ll have a snowball fight together, and build a snowman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wen Xin immediately clapped her hands and cheered happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sincere smile appeared on Fang Cheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such good weather, he might as well take a day off for himself today.\u003C\u002Fp>",1423,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","26185b58cc721bd0e0a64414e2a0dc371a43bafddf5233884127b1525807e665","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-127","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-125",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
