eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the bedroom direction with gleaming eyes, a faint smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he shook his head and sighed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the ongoing sound of sirens from outside, his mind was still cluttered, making it difficult to fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, a sudden sense of peace and warmth filled his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodnight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng whispered, then closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon his mind was calm, his breathing steady, and he silently slipped into slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, the moonlight gradually faded, leaving the night tender as water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights that had not yet been turned off became blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slowly trickled by, washing away the many noises of the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo————\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng exhaled comfortably and opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the window that was now dimly lit, its glass covered in foggy raindrops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around was quiet, with the sound of rain gently pattering to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seem to have overslept a bit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stretched, quickly threw off the covers and blanket, and climbed up from the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the rain could not stop a heart that longed for the exercise and the pursuit of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing back at Zhou Xiumei’s tightly closed bedroom door, Fang Cheng gently opened the damaged door and then closed it again softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he strode out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop of the tubular building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a little past 7 in the morning, the light rain was unending, bringing a hint of tranquility to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a night of disturbances, most residents of Old Factory Street were still asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray sky seemed like a heavy velvet cloth hiding the weak dawn light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city covered in rain appeared especially cold and quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng wore a pair of shorts, his bare feet on the damp concrete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Droplets of rain fell slowly from the clouds, like thousands of fine needles, ice-cold and piercing to the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng was unaffected, continuing to repeat the process of squatting down and standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he completed the last set, the 250th Deep Squat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he carefully placed the 500-pound barbell from his shoulders onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale blue screen emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of information flowed past like water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Concentration Experience

Fang Cheng raised his eyes to look at the distant street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole city was still shrouded in gray, appearing vague and unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skyscrapers emerged through the rain as if they were a mirage, mysterious and elusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he woke later than usual, he finished his morning exercise a bit earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because last night’s battle had improved many of his Fighting Skills Experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Fang Cheng skipped Air Attack and practiced a bit more Tai Chi Boxing, which freed up more time for morning exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo hoo——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raindrops were whipped onto his face by the wind, painfully cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rain, which started around three or four in the morning, seemed to grow heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng showed no intention of retreating; instead, he felt a peculiar thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brushed back the wet hair on his forehead and looked at the panel again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Handstand Pushups lv1 (243\u002F250)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just 7 points away from reaching the master level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps with an extra effort today, he could achieve a breakthrough in this Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Fang Cheng’s desire to exercise reignited, and he quickly turned his attention to the other training equipment piled to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then bent down to pick up weight belts filled with iron plaques, sequentially strapping them on his thighs, calves, upper arms, forearms, waist, and chest back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing each tensioner to make sure the iron blocks were stable and wouldn’t easily fall off,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he redressed in this additional 200-plus-pound weight and began the extra Handstand Pushup training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng placed his hands on the damp concrete, spacing them about shoulder-width apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took a deep breath, tensed his waist and abdomen slightly, and lifted his legs high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his body was inverted, hanging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind, carrying cold raindrops, blew over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s torso remained still, legs slightly spread apart, swiftly adjusting his posture amidst the wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handstand pushups are an extremely challenging exercise, arguably the most difficult skill among the Prisoner’s Six Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are also certain risks involved, such as falling, shoulder injuries, or lumbar spine injuries if balance is lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to requiring the coordinated effort of shoulder, arm, and back core muscles during practice, some small techniques for adjusting posture in the air must also be mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before attempting handstand pushups, beginners even need to do some basic strength and balance training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fang Cheng’s current strength and agility attributes, performing handstand pushups, an advanced exercise for the average person, is a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when carrying a 200-pound load, his performance remains as light as a feather, unwaveringly steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"1.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"3.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his feet in the air, as if stepping on the gloomy sky, Fang Cheng silently counted the repetitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms bent and straightened alternately, the muscles of his shoulders and back rising like hills from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to do handstand pushups in a steady and orderly rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of practice repetitions increased, notifications of experience growth floated past before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached 50, Fang Cheng held his handstand position, paused to take a breath, and took a short rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the progress bar on the panel that had been stuck at 248 points for a long time with no signs of breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment and then decided to challenge a higher difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-handed handstand pushups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Fang Cheng, the challenge was not using the strength of one hand to support the weight of his body plus a 200-pound load.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was how to maintain balance when suspended in the air to prevent falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just maintaining a static position, it would be relatively easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if under a 200-pound load, he was to perform one-handed bent-arm stands, descending and rising back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the balance required of the body could be said to be defying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng still planned to give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for two minutes, he spread open his left hand and propped himself up with only his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raindrops fell diagonally, blown by the wind, now to the east, now drifting west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such an environment where the wind direction changed constantly, Fang Cheng’s figure also inevitably began to sway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had trained for a long time and had accumulated rich skill experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he made a slight bow-shaped bend in his back, and in an instant, he readjusted his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finding his balance, Fang Cheng tried his best to steady his shaking form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then began to bend his elbow, slowly lowering his stance until his head lightly touched the cement floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he straightened his right arm, completely pushing his lowering body back into a handstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He successfully completed a one-handed handstand pushup, a feat impossible for ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s confidence soared, and he continued to practice the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bending the arms, elbows to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straightening the arms, lifting the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning rain turned from drizzles to dense droplets, pitter-pattering on the undulating body in handstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chill incessantly penetrated the skin, as if countless insects were biting, bone-chillingly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such difficulties couldn’t shake Fang Cheng’s will or physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With continuous practice, his posture became more stable, and his movements more fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had the leisure to view the business district from an upside-down perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicular flow on the elevated bridges, the skyscrapers faintly lit, seemed to be all submerged in the wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, he was the one who, with the power of one hand, seemed to hold up the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt a sudden stirring in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slowly closed his eyes, feeling it with his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if his feet could tread on the clouds in the sky, and even the right arm supporting the ground seemed unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another gust of wind blew, seemingly cradling his body lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely experienced a feeling of weightlessness, a marvellous sensation of overcoming gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, drifting with the wind, he walked in the rain, stepping through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city seemed to be slowly devoured by the rain at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a lone figure doing one-handed handstand pushups remained, persisting to prove the significance of his arduous training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the panel flashed with a dazzlingly bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, after tireless efforts, your skill has reached a new level, attaining master

planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the enhancement reward for this level-up, his eyes were full of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the sky as the rain poured down harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly took his jacket from the shelter, put it on, then grabbed his training equipment and ran down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>",1597,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","85f7a39e195d6e54cf8c4add911f971f06f8ca43e36f200ed42e822274b481f2","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-226","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-224",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
