eyes shone brightly as he looked at the newly appeared Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Water Breathing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Have the ability to breathe underwater for extended periods, significantly enhancing your affinity with the ocean environment and marine life.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this Talent, not formed by Skill synthesis, awaken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had a faint guess in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason should be the meditation class yesterday afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meditation Method taught by the Professor provided a path to unlocking deeper consciousness, successfully reaching a mental state akin to meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special architectural environment of the Meditation Hall also played a key role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those gems embedded in the dome, resembling stars, likely held some unknown amplification effect of Spiritual Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, during deep meditation, he inadvertently contacted that higher-dimensional consciousness, creating some mystical connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he interrupted this connection in time, the other party still responded in a special way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This response was like a seed lurking deep within the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After following the Merfolk to the top of the cliff, it seemed like he was similarly summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden desire arose in his heart, wanting to jump off the cliff like the Merfolk, to dive deep into the ocean, surrounded by seawater waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Fang Cheng went to the beach to try and touch the seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his feet touched the tide, an inexplicable sense of familiarity emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if naturally skilled in water, with a few strokes, he immediately grasped the technique of swimming and became increasingly adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he successfully activated this new Talent on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this Talent that Fang Cheng had full confidence in suppressing Wang Zongwu, a seemingly dangerous Special Ability holder, on the ocean surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the above is merely Fang Cheng’s own speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If according to the theory of biological evolution, all life forms on the planet originated from the ocean, always harboring fish-like instincts in their genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The accidental awakening of this kind of Special Talent is not something inconceivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the bed, pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fishing boat’s horn sound faintly came from the harbor, appearing exceptionally clear in the night before dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had no desire to sleep, merely closing his eyes, thinking about things, pretending to doze off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not completely light yet, the scene outside the window dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendi got up early in the morning and was practicing difficult One-handed push-ups on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was flushed, and sweat was beginning to emerge from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident he had a good sleep last night, very energetic, appearing to have an air of energy with nowhere to release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like someone who had wandered about half the night, swam in the sea, and even fought a fight, thus appearing very calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the pants in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pair of sports pants had several holes burned through by sparks on the crotch and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The losses from last night’s battle were actually not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these pants were from Baleno, a major brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had accompanied him for more than two years, often worn during exercises, with deep sentimental value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now ruined by someone’s fire, it was truly a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he did not suffer a loss, as he took several thousand yuan from the pockets of the Wang brothers before leaving the scene, considering it as compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fang Cheng was feeling endlessly regretful, a faint sound of a car engine starting came from outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stood up, pulled back a slit of the curtain, and looked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a striking black car drive out of the garage through the light fog, seemingly preparing to head down the mountain to the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the car windows, three people could be seen sitting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except the driver, there were two more figures in the backseat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an elderly man with a face full of wrinkles, and the other was none other than Chen, the instructor for the meditation class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly pulled a pair of pants from his bag and put them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he quickly walked out of the dormitory, amid Pan Wendi’s surprised inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning sun just began to shine, casting a golden glow over the island and the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harbor was not quiet in the early morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant sound of \"putt putt putt\" from motor engines, as boats entered and exited, flags fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also busy trucks on the docks, as well as fishermen and vendors busily unloading and selling fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, this small fishing harbor appeared even livelier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was there a police car parked beside the dock, its lights flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also many leisurely onlookers standing by the shore, gathered around a docked fishing boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that something bizarre had happened inside, prompting them to crane their necks in curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng sat in a breakfast diner near the dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly eating his bowl of squid porridge and two fried dough sticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, he would raise his head and look across the street, towards the dock about one hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because this place offered a good view and convenient transportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, many islanders and tourists, like him, watched the excitement while discussing the incident as they ate their breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That boat seems to be Zhou A’shui’s, right? What’s going on, why did they call the police?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone died, A’shui was stabbed to death on the boat by smugglers last night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn’t smugglers, I heard it seems to be a sea demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh, don’t just blurt out such things...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tourist, unable to contain his curiosity, stepped forward and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sea demon? Do you have sea demons here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the islanders immediately fell silent, pretending to be deaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the police had already cordoned off the boat, and those who came later could only speculate wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an involved party, Fang Cheng knew exactly what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the people’s discussions, his gaze was fixed on the scene at the dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car carrying Chen and the old man had also parked by the shoreline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had been inside the cabin for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Chen and the old man came up from the cockpit to the deck, accompanied by another old man with white hair and beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elderly gentleman seemed to command respect, even the policemen treated him with great reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fang Cheng nodded to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thing was now certain, the \"Merfolk,\" these strange creatures, definitely had a direct connection with the training camp base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this \"Truth and Meditation Joint Practice\" seemed to have a deep foundation on Yong’an Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be more cautious in the future, not revealing his true identity and level of meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Fang Cheng’s eyes then roamed among the crowd at the dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the body and the Merfolk on the boat was a tactic to draw out all the hidden \"dangerous creatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crowd must include members of the Noah Organization stationed on Yong’an Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s gaze swept continuously, when suddenly he spotted a rather peculiar fellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a young man in a black trench coat and sunglasses, with hands tucked in his pockets, seemingly trying too hard to look cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their eyes met, the man seemed to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of alarm emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the man turned his neck, Fang Cheng quickly looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","5125ab6e9154d0940347873b250f010da2862343b455a3818b0a351deeb120b8","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-150","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-148",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
