flowing could be heard from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the sliding door was pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, shirtless and wearing slippers, stepped out and let out a light sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple rinse with cold water, he felt much more comfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached for the glasses on the table and put them back on his face, looking up at the mirror in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noon sunlight illuminated the dust through the window and made the mirror sparkle brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own figure appeared vividly on the smooth surface of the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes bright and spirited, his physique robust and imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with the gold-rimmed glasses on, his demeanor seemed much gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt somewhat relieved and shook the wet strands of hair on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main point was that his hair remained dense and dark, with no signs of significant hair loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had noticed a few clumps of hair falling out while washing his hair in the bathroom, it was not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that in a few days, it would quickly grow back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his current Constitution attribute was as high as 41 points, plus he possessed an abundance of Life Energy far exceeding ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered as he introspected the location of his Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cluster of azure True Qi resided there, like an endless and tranquil ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No waves arose, the breeze was gentle, and the clouds were light, seemingly unchanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if carefully compared with before, the amount of True Qi had indeed decreased by about one percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was the result of the panel preemptively using some Life Energy to quickly enhance physical abilities after leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t timely replenish bodily nutrition or external energy, the water level of this True Qi ocean would continue to slowly decline until completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manifested in the body, this would cause various unpredictable abnormal symptoms, impacting health and threatening life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might end up like that Experimental Body, flesh rotting, needing to sustain life by absorbing others’ blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the strength in this world doesn’t come without a cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had the panel, it was not without a price; it merely meant stepping onto a somewhat safer shortcut compared to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, it was still trading momentary strength at the expense of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt touched, as if having an epiphany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t truly mastered Qigong yet or accumulated enough True Qi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the breakthrough of the Strength attribute limit today would probably have caused him to lose all his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try imagining a cultivated handsome man suddenly turning into a bald and muscular brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng couldn’t help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt quite fortunate for his foresight, having prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned his head to look at the white prepared food bag on the dining table, which contained the takeout he had packed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already devoured all four takeouts he ordered in the morning in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fifth one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of the food, Fang Cheng’s mouth quickly secreted saliva, and he swallowed with a gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further thought, time to eat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by eating a lot and eating well could he build a good physique and master the strength that truly belonged to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the gourmet cells within his body awakened, Fang Cheng immediately sat down and grabbed a braised pork knuckle from the meal box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ready to continue satisfying his body’s intense craving for nutrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch, crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his mouth wide, he tore off chunks of meat, chewing voraciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the hardest parts of the pig, the bones high in calcium, were bitten into pieces and mashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sucked the bone marrow loaded with collagen clean and then swallowed all the bone fragments and meat residues into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the gourmet Skill had merged with Qigong, the powerful digestive function and high nutritional absorption rate were still perfectly inherited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng even had a fleeting illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were really hungry, with his chest sticking to his back, even if what was placed in front of him was a portion of dirt, he would swallow it unhesitatingly to draw the nutrients necessary for the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three full boxes of braised pork knuckles and a portion of white rice were swiftly devoured by Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nutritional replenishment completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng walked to the balcony, closed his eyes lightly, allowing sunlight to shower his face and body, silently feeling the warm breath from nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he assumed a horse stance, circulated his Inner Breath, and began to practice Qigong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today he couldn’t go to work, and continuing to train physically wasn’t quite right either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well practice more Qigong, nourish the body, and eliminate residual aftereffects inside the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because of the bones and muscles rapidly stretching and growing, Fang Cheng always felt an itchy and warm sensation throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, every time he circulated True Qi once, this unusual feeling could be alleviated to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a breeze blowing through the internal organs, instantly bringing a sense of coolness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like sweet, fresh spring water gurgling, watering and moisturizing the dry land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s body trembled slightly, vaguely emitting a sound like thunder rumbling in the afternoon clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sunlight, his pores appeared especially clear, as if his whole body was illuminated through and through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, countless tiny air currents passed through his body, breezing through his limbs and bones, and then exited from the other side of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each inhalation and exhalation, like wind sweeping through falling leaves, expelling the old and taking in the new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until it transformed into an imperceptible warm current, injected into the azure ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Air and sunlight, similarly, were sources of energy needed for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only comparatively meager...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the living room, the sound of wind and thunder echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a long breath accumulated in his diaphragm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a panel notification message floated before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5ab84dd62b115774922713f722fca19ab0fc161bb48c16391983c905dcd7551","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-215","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-213",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
