dolphin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of waves and the calls of birds came in waves into his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, under the sunlight, the shadows of fishing boats passed

internal breathing within the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In extreme environments like the seabed, the human body is under immense pressure and faces an urgent need for oxygen supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the body’s internal perception becomes much clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering Concentration, Fang Cheng consciously uses his breathing instinct to combat external pressure, continuously regulating his internal organs and circulating blood and qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much that, with the help of the enormous external pressure, he completely grasps the rule of internal breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he masters the \"Qigong Qi Sense\" mentioned by Ma Jianguo, thus successfully unlocking this extremely special Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, the human body is filled with wonders, with enormous potential. To achieve seemingly difficult goals, one must continually challenge oneself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like holding one’s breath while diving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any equipment, most people can only dive to a depth of two or three meters before they can’t withstand the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with professional training, ordinary people can reach a limit depth of about 10 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And professional divers can dive to depths of 15 meters, or even tens of meters below in the deep sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between them is so vast, they hardly seem like the same species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the insights gained from his previous cultivation, Fang Cheng relaxedly floated on the ocean surface, basking in the sunlight and enjoying the massage of the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a bit, he raised his eyes to look at the cape where he had jumped from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began to paddle with his hands and feet, swimming towards the side of the cape near the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, reefs were scattered about, with a cliff leading to the top that was relatively gentle compared to the steep angle protruding towards the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fang Cheng’s physical fitness, even after just completing an extreme training and depleting a lot of strength, climbing back up was not a particularly difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he needed to watch out for was the loose or slippery stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having climbed back to the top of the cape, Fang Cheng stood facing the wind, looking out over the majestic sea view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he assumed the horse stance and began to take deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparing to once again perform the \"Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Skill,\" to test the effect of the breathing technique on land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hu——lulu———\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his whole body trembling slightly, breath faintly echoed out as if the sound came from deep within his body, but seemed as if from a place far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was drawn out longer and longer, becoming clearer and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that subtle moment, it was as if there truly was the sound of thunder rumbling and the low growl of tigers and leopards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet listening to it was not dull, instead, there was a kind of rhythmic pressure relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different from practicing the Pile Skill and Breathing Technique at the sea bottom, where one must endure heavy pressure and oxygen deprivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, both physically and mentally, was in a completely relaxed state at this moment, not needing to deliberately hold his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exhaling a breath, he then inhaled another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle and fine thread of air naturally entered from his nostrils, making its way down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a breeze brushing past the internal organs, bringing instant coolness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereafter, starting from the warm current generated in the abdomen, it diffused into a finer flow, slowly penetrating the limbs and bones, until eventually the force dissipated, leaving a lingering aftertaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng silently felt this inhalation until it reached the ends and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he exhaled a long breath of stale air that had settled in the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inhaling and exhaling, getting rid of the old and taking in the new, it was like the clouds parting to reveal clear skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of breathing did not rely solely on inhaling air from the outside nor did it rely on internal breathing by holding external breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it was a kind of vibration cycle from the outside to inside, and then from inside to outside; it was a Kung Fu from within the body outwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a big bellows huffing and puffing, gathering the airflow non-stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Sound was not the crackle burst when lightning strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, the rumble rolling behind the clouds that can be heard from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inhaled breath must first be forcefully pressed down, passing through the diaphragm to reach the bottom of the abdomen, creating a strong internal pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under this pressure, the intestines at the bottom increase their peristalsis, speeding up metabolism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the airflow causes intestinal rumblings, transmitting energy layer by layer upwards, until opening the entire chest cavity, causing the whole body to start resonating and vibrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between each inhalation and exhalation, not only the internal organs and muscles but even the pores all over the body vibrated in unison, expelling the impure air within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching this step was extremely difficult, fundamentally contrary to the body’s norms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it required the means of \"emitting sound\" to lead the way, ensuring the breath did not cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom rumble——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng exhaled a deep breath of stale air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal storm surged, and the pace of breath and blood flow increased with this rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When transmitted outside the body, it resembled the distant thunder in the sky, deep and prolonged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles throughout the body trembled slightly, and the closed pores suddenly relaxed, releasing a visibly white vapor that rose spirally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if an engine was roaring to life from inside the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a minute, all the water droplets adhering to the skin surface were evaporated away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just come out of the sea, his wet body quickly became dry and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even every pore exuded a refreshing sensation, extremely comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>",1462,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","9fde0434fc344131761f317f9eb5f4ac05d8143a1894a266dd898df70f7e1efd","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-159","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-157",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
