clump of unknown blue-glowing material gathers here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light spreads into the sea water, presenting thin trails of radiation, seemingly containing the energy of both death and life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around, in the dark waters, many demon-like, inky-green figures wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glub glub, glub glub—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a series of bubbling sounds, the Merfolk twist their bodies, making way to either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the figure of a human male walking on water appears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face with a mask reveals no expressions, only the eyes inlaid with jewels emit an unusual glow unlike ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his black hair moving with the current, his naked muscles exhibit extreme masculinity and beauty, making him seem like a deity calling to the Sea Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these Merfolk are the soldiers lined up to welcome him, the most devout worshipers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng dives to this spot, his gaze slightly concentrated, falling on the clump of material that emits a deep blue glow in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he follows the path cleared by the Merfolk and swims forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is a cave carved into the crack of the rock wall, showing signs of artificial excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a deserted dwelling hidden in the Dark Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area is not large, but it is more than enough to be used as a place for physical training or meditation practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng wants to find an absolutely secluded place, so he asks the Merfolk familiar with the seabed environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they bring him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave is about 190 meters deep from the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the best divers with professional equipment cannot reach such a deadly depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, apart from Merfolk and deep-sea fish, there are basically no uninvited guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nods in satisfaction and waves them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stretches out his arms, directly reaching into the blue light, grabs one of the bones, and twiddles with it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burning and itching sensation from the palm of the hand stimulates his spirit to perk up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The energy radiation intensity is just right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the dozen or so huge bones that make up the light clump, Fang Cheng feels utterly at peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many treasures, it should be quick to refill the True Qi in my Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when he encountered Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi on the sea surface, he heard their voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng then came up with an idea, simply asking the Merfolk to help him collect the bones to save time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lived up to expectations, the efficiency of their actions was indeed very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng picked out two bones to give to Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were transported by the Merfolk to this special meditation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he looks around carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly on the right side of the rock wall, he spots an inscription smoothed slightly by the seawater:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Guizhen, visited here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that a long time ago, fellow cultivators had descended here to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng shows a slight smile and then sits down cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing his eyes for meditation, he quietly operates his Inner Breath, beginning peaceful cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sea surface, inside the fishing boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Kehai is also meditating with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending away those marine police, he tries to get in contact with Zheng Hongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From other boats, over twenty surviving salvage crew members of the True Thought Society are all gathered around, staring eagerly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Feng Kehai opens his eyes, his face revealing a trace of excitement, and loudly exclaims:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Zheng says, the masked man who rescued us is the coming of the Divine Son, a hidden master of our True Thought Society!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look bemused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like... they’ve never heard that their True Thought Society had such a title?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it’s one of our own, all members immediately swallow a sedative pill, and breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feelings of shock and fear that were initially present vanish in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with such a powerful figure in the True Thought Society, even if the enemies return, there is no need for excessive worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the joyous smiles on everyone’s faces, Feng Kehai also raised his hand and rubbed his own somewhat stiff smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news quickly spread to the Cape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priests staying there also burst into excited cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people consciously rejoined the ranks of prayer and meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underground cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie was the first to recover part of his injuries and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was preparing to make a move, he heard this phrase and couldn’t help but ask in surprise and doubt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chosen Son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin sat cross-legged, smiling coldly and nonchalantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is the successor designated by our Chairman, as he has been cultivating under the sea and rarely appears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that he has emerged from his seclusion, hehe, it seems all of you will perish here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie’s face darkened, and he clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through that Saint Relic, he had just watched an exceptionally fierce battle with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengjun was sent flying with a punch, and only after temporarily suppressing his opponent with a rocket did he manage to escape on a boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked man had disappeared. Either he was following close behind, or he was on his way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time comes... if he were to join forces with this old ghost in front of him, given his current physical condition, it would be very difficult to cope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One point, in particular, shocked Luo Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The move that made his name, which involved compressing telekinesis to the extreme onto the palm for killing, was also used by that masked man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Luo Lie’s gaze became as sharp as an eagle’s, staring at Zheng Hongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin stood his ground fearlessly, returning the glare with fury in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie took a deep look at the Truth Stele, let go of his greed, and decided to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the few Elite Pursuer Team Members who could barely stand, he waved for them to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who were too heavily injured, there was no time to care for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group ran out of the cavern, coming in a hurry and leaving just as quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the strong enemy scared away by his bluff disappear into the passageway, Zheng Hongxin couldn’t help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another set of footsteps, accompanied by voices, echoed into the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher! How are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Chen Jiandong who had run back from the Cape two kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tragic scene of death and injury around the altar, he couldn’t help but turn pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin waved his hand and then instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly spread the news of the Divine Son’s arrival to stabilize the situation of the True Thought Society and Yong’an Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiandong was startled at first, then quickly realized and asked in confusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you referring to that mysterious masked man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin solemnly nodded, then added specifically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiandong, be careful with your grandfather’s side...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Jiandong saw something unusual in Zheng Hongxin’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 3 am, the tide began to recede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underwater fissure once again became calm and quiet, no longer emitting steam, nor did luminous bones continue to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside an undersea grotto nearly 200 meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who had been inexplicably bestowed with the title \"Divine Son\" suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Relics surrounding his body still emitted a dazzling azure brilliance, albeit fainter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng held his breath in Concentration, performing introspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Qi in his Dantian was now completely filled, resembling a vast ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the sea of his mind where the Spiritual Fire flickered, an unexpected and unusual transformation had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","f0ea83de8e2168a9e355305d65d845f7bf6926f7dcfc23ee9c3b128dea49d4a4","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-197","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-195",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
