plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially at the coldest moments before dawn, a layer of mist condensed on the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, suddenly, a piercing ringtone sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-ling-ling— Ding-ling-ling—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, curled up in his blanket, opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had been forcefully yanked back to reality from a beautiful dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out his hands, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the alarm clock still ringing, he turned on the light, looked up, and checked the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5:01.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jolt went through Fang Cheng's heart, his eyes instantly becoming clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he flung off the warm blanket, got up, and stopped the alarm clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he quickly put on his clothes and pants, slipped on his slippers, opened the bedroom door, and briskly walked towards the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of running water, as the tap turned on and the toiling of toothbrush and towel, quickly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes of washing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stretched his arms and walked to the living room balcony, pushing the tightly closed windows open to either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind whooshed, carrying ice and rain straight to his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it stung the skin, it also invigorated the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day of self-discipline began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the dark rainy streets at this moment, only a small motel was lit with a red lightbox sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng enjoyed the tranquility that belonged solely to him and whispered quietly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, do a set of Deep Squats to warm up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go for a few rounds of Air Attack...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stretching his limbs and muscles, Fang Cheng stood facing the approaching dawn, lifting his left leg, right knee bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body squatted down, he could clearly feel the thigh muscles tensing up, with the waist and back core also in a state akin to a bowstring drawn tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single-leg Squat's difficulty level is hellish for the average person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the current Fang Cheng, it was just a bit more effort than when he first started practicing standard Deep Squats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing 5, switch to the other leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do 10, and that's one set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng looked at the prompt info, just in time to add 1 point of experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he faintly felt a warm current rising from beneath the lower abdomen, constantly driving away the cold imposed by the surroundings on the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be enough, the Testosterone is starting to take effect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing a punch in the air, followed by a couple of kicks, Fang Cheng carefully felt the changes within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire body seemed infused with vitality, completely shedding the sluggishness from waking up early, and the mood began to rise in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the \"Loner\" Enhancement effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep Squats are clearly the best warm-up exercise, bar none!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stood on the spacious balcony, clenched his five fingers together tightly, and spread his feet front and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was firm as he stared ahead, as if facing an invisible adversary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his figure moved, closing the distance with the opponent, and the guarding arms immediately powered up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, continuous hop-stepping left and right Straight Punches, quickly targeting the opponent's face and jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a Front Kick intercepts the opponent's counter and fiercely kicks their abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the right leg hit the ground, he immediately turned and stepped forward, moving to the opponent's weak side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting the waist and thrusting the hips, another high and swift Whip Kick lashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Fang Cheng's forehead began to show traces of sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite wearing only a thin undershirt and a jacket, the biting cold could no longer penetrate his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood flowed rapidly, warming up the person quickly and entering into a combat-ready state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movements of punches and kicks also went from being slightly rigid to increasingly smooth and coordinated, relaxed and natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every punch and kicking sound proved the fullness of the force exerted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four major techniques of Fighting Skill: kicking, punching, throwing, and grappling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng's boxing and leg techniques are sufficient to claim a basic level of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he began to try and link punch and kick movements together, practicing Combination Skills more applicable to actual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to go back to the hospital scene confronting Yellow Hair again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng figured that without the need for the Iron Fist Effect, just a feint and a high Sweep Kick would be enough to KO the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the opponent had a folded knife, how could their arms be longer than the legs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You practice Air Attack, gaining some insight, Boxing Skill Experience +10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the panel prompt information, Fang Cheng's eyes showed satisfaction, yet a bit of dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a pity ... Air Attack practice can only increase one type of skill experience for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having an expert level of Boxing made it easier for Fang Cheng to learn other Fighting Skills by analogy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three or four days, watching about ten classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He successfully mastered the basic skills of Fighting Skill: stances, footwork, boxing, and leg techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To fully unlock this new Skill, he still had to master throwing and Grappling techniques to compensate for weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these two techniques required a high degree of practical application and lacked a sparring partner, making it impossible to learn by imitation alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't exactly throw himself about for fun, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Fang Cheng did not incorporate throwing and Grappling movements into his Air Attack practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps... I can now apply to be a sparring partner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, Fang Cheng's bright eyes observed the panel Attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour of Air Attack, summarizing the Physical Training effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constitution increased by a total of 0.02, Strength increased by 0.01, and agility increased by 0.006.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, although the agility attribute improvement was slightly slower, the progress bar reached 94%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Loner\" effect on enhancing training efficiency was clearly evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the continuous accumulation, the strong will get stronger, inevitably forming a snowballing \"Matthew effect\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure physical training alone could break through the limits of the human body and reach the extraordinary realm of imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fang Cheng collected his thoughts, his gaze once again calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practicing Air Attack is, strictly speaking, also a warm-up exercise that stretches the muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important part of the morning exercise is still physical training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next up is even more intense self-discipline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 folded knife push-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 tiger push-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>200 Single-leg Squats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>300 flat lying straight leg raises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the training hall, from time to time, there are exhales helping with the power of students hitting the sandbags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, the Sanda department didn't arrange any classes, and in the afternoon, there was only one private session and one group class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng could be said to have some idle time on his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coach talked about the use of techniques and key points of combination punches and throws in the previous class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This class was basically the students practicing on the sandbag, with the coach occasionally correcting the sloppy parts of their moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core techniques of Sanda are leg techniques and grappling, which also score high points in the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saying goes, \"Hands are the two doors, all rely on legs to fight. Three parts punching, seven parts kicking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem facing Fang Cheng now is not a specific technical issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather that he couldn't find anyone to spar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone actual combat, without even a punching partner, how could he truly master the skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Fang Cheng really felt an impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of grabbing some unpleasant looking hooligans on the street for a beating, just to test his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last class ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still time before the end of the workday, so Fang Cheng started cleaning up the place early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing up, he saw Chen Xiaohai standing alone in the smoking area, leisurely smoking a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered slightly, so he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai had a surprised look on his face, looking at Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That expression seemed to reveal his thoughts, I was just saying it casually, but you really took me up on it without hesitation, coming to me with a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng sought out Chen Xiaohai for advice on how to become a sparring partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the excuse, it was readily available—his grandfather's medical expenses, the family lacking money, and an urgent need to earn some extra cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai was stunned for a while before hesitantly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Cheng, being a sparring partner is not an easy job, the club has very strict controls...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a sparring partner is profitable. Calculating at the minimum hourly wage of 500 yuan, fighting twice a day, one could earn thirty thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the monthly salary of less than four thousand for the average wage-earner, it is very tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this job isn't something that just anyone can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it's on a temporary worker basis, the club still needs to bear the medical risks, hence the assessment is extremely strict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become a professional boxer, one just needs to pay, success or failure is another matter, it might at most affect the club's performance and reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But becoming a sparring partner can be said to be harder than becoming a boxer in some ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first condition is a strong and sturdy physique, robust enough to take a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, one must have trained in boxing and have some technical knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, one must be someone the club trusts and have the approval from both HR and the coaching department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, many sparring partners are retired professional fighters who know each other well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or amateur boxers who came out of the club and didn't get to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had some knowledge of these circumstances, and then earnestly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I came to trouble Brother Hai, to see if you could help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai's facial expression became complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already blown his own trumpet; he couldn't just slap his own face, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could also have asked Xu Maochai for help, but being a sparring partner would inevitably conflict with his regular job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party might find excuses to avoid it, and Fang Cheng did not really want to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a way, but I'm afraid you might misunderstand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our karate department just received a Japanese player who has been banned from competing; that bastard hits hard and has injured several people in a row, and now no one dares to take his job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the club is still pampering this guy, because he gives a lot of money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Chen Xiaohai looked up at Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might try applying with HR tomorrow, they have been recruiting recently, and if they can't find a suitable candidate, they might relax the conditions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, it's easy to get injured as a sparring partner, and you should think it over carefully...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng pondered for a moment and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does karate also have grappling and throwing techniques?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai was stunned for a moment and replied: \"Yes, it does.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nodded and then smiled: \"Thanks, Brother Hai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is definitely a risk of injury when working as a sparring partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what in this world can be done without any risk at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was bright as he looked at the skills displayed on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lifting Leg lv0 (83\u002F100)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to push himself a little harder, to speed up the slow-moving progress bar a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the Lifting Leg Skill successfully advanced to lv1 and he gained some attribute points, undertaking this task should be much safer.\u003C\u002Fp>",2006,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.559Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","fef3d338b2b53e2ee59bf33a68893e4aa8c7e151f694d0c8a96d2308eca32cfc","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-23","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-21",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
