His eyes became incredibly determined after making his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stripped off his clothes, pants, shoes, and glasses and hid them under a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the edge of the cliff, took several deep breaths to adjust his physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped forward with his right foot and gently kicked with his left, propelling himself out like an arrow off its bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaping several meters from the cliff, the sea breeze blew head-on, seeming to gently lift his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this weightless sensation, Fang Cheng adjusted his posture with his eyes fixed on the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his body, propelled by the jump, began to plummet rapidly under the force of gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind whistled into his ears incessantly as if the whole world were tipping downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flock of startled seagulls fluttered past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the free fall grew faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nearly at the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s muscles tensed, and he promptly twisted his torso to execute a series of somersaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slight hang-time to ease his descent’s speed, he dived in a perfect form, as a professional diver, into the rippling blue waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glug, glug—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the splashing of water, his body rapidly sank into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of the outside world were completely cut off, replaced by a series of bubbling noises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his mouth shut, Fang Cheng opened his eyes and took in the underwater scenery, acclimating to the new environment of being fully encased in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked down at the grey and white pebbles that became visible on the ocean floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his arms, utilizing his muscle strength to position himself in the water and dove deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight filtered through the water’s surface, casting a shining aquatic hue on the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s feet paddled, nimble as flippers, as he continued to dive deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like passing through a barrier into a familiar yet strange, fantastic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful schools of fish swam past, fluttering, and producing gurgling bubble sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, swathes of anemones swayed their soft tentacles as if to welcome a new companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around him created an atmosphere of tranquility and mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he went deeper, the pressure rose, and the oxygen level rapidly decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding life forms gradually diminished, giving way to utter silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a depth of about ten meters or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s feet were now touching the sandy pebbles of the ocean floor, stirring up a haze of grey-white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary person under no-equipment conditions, reaching this depth would mean almost depleting the oxygen in their lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t be able to hold on for long before needing to resurface for fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Cheng held his breath with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he moved his limbs leisurely, feeling the resistance posed by the sea water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bent down, lying prone on the ocean floor dusted with volcanic ash and fine sand, and started practicing the first form of the \"Prisoner’s Six Arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standard push-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bending the arms and elbows, chest touching the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straightening the arms and elbows, lifting the chest and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water enveloping his body felt awkwardly bulky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move was somewhat sluggish, as though in slow motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in resisting the water’s push, muscles had to bear an extra load and exert more effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure at ten meters deep should be about 2 atmospheres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, every square centimeter would experience approximately 9.8 to 10 kilograms of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such conditions, even the most ordinary land-based exercises become akin to performing extreme strength training with an ultra-heavy load.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, prone on the ocean floor, continued with his push-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly two minutes, when he reached his 35th push-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prompt message immediately floated before his eyes in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Push-up Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stirred-up grey-white mist, a few hermit crabs emerged from the surrounding sand and swiftly drifted away.\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","5104aafdd637ae7b5f9d651f5e584bbcdb217a015246e0b34403fb924dc7ef3b","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-154","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-152",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
