gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cupping his hands, he splashed the first handful of water onto his scorching face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took a towel, soaked it, wrung it out, and carefully wiped every inch of his muscles along his arms, chest, and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the towel passed, the residue of salt and dirt on the skin were erased, the sticky feeling was gone, leaving only a refreshing and slight coolness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wiping his body, he poured some shampoo in the palm of his hand and rubbed it, washing his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once completely tidied up, Fang Cheng raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were bright and spirited, his hair still damp and not yet dry, black and dense, silky and glossy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a blow from the hairdryer, it waved as if it were waves of wheat, he’d have no trouble shooting a shampoo commercial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though quite a bit of True Qi was consumed in his Dantian, his body was still as healthy as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he wasn’t quite satisfied with was that his muscles were too bulky, standing out even with clothes on, a tough guy physique that was somewhat conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope grandpa still recognizes me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Fang Cheng immediately summoned the panel and looked at the progress bar on the left side of the Attributes column.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a period of training, the decimal value of the four basic Attributes had increased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength 25%, Agility 89%, Constitution 41%, Spirit 36%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Agility Attribute had increased significantly, from 53% to 89%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was last time, when comprehending the essence of Tai Chi Boxing \"conquering the swift with the slow, overcoming the hard with softness,\" he entered a mysterious state similar to the flowing changes of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, to a certain extent, the flexibility and balance of his body had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Agility Attribute that was not far from breaking through, Fang Cheng felt a warmth in his heart and muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With a bit more effort, it shouldn’t take long to get back to looking like a regular handsome young man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tap was turned off and the sliding door was moved aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng walked out bare-chested, shuffling in his slippers, and exhaled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked comfortably towards the kitchen and opened the fridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside, it was empty, except for two carrots and half a piece of pork, there was no other food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been locked up in the building for the past few days and had consumed too much of his food supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the police also provided basic guarantees and would buy daily necessities on their behalf, his own appetite was too big to withstand eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he would have to go out and do some shopping for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the clock on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7:58.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng then went back to the bedroom, to the desk,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several books lay silently on the desk where they were left last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The daylight seeped through the crack in the window, quietly casting on the cover’s lettering as if lively sprites were beckoning him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reached out and pulled open the curtains, allowing the sunlight to fully flood into the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled out the chair and sat down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s continue practicing Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the panel displaying the progress bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Speed Reading lv1 (243\u002F250)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several consecutive days of diligent practice, this Skill was finally at the point of promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the process, he seemed to have faintly grasped a different kind of breakthrough from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng sat at the desk and picked up the thickest volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the latest edition of the National Dictionary, a total of 1658 pages, including about 11000 Xia Country characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the annotations and interpretations of commonly used characters, it also included explanations of many idioms and phrases, as well as their historical evolution and usage examples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said to be an extremely comprehensive, immensely detailed reference book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it was also an excellent tool for exercising memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stretched out his hand and turned to the first page of the dictionary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took a deep breath, calmed down, and murmured to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Activate Speed Reading Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, it was as if a mysterious button had been pressed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s eyes became incredibly sharp, his hands holding the heavy dictionary with a steady grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, his fingers rapidly flicked through the pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the continuous flipping of pages resonated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense text on the page seemed to come alive, lining up and rushing towards his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, countless neurons in his brain sparked, transmitting massive amounts of information at the speed of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this moment, Fang Cheng was like being in an absolutely rational mechanical state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils shone brightly, like a laser printer, instinctively scanning and recording the contents of every page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where his gaze went, he didn’t miss a single piece of text information, those complex vocabulary combinations, and tough academic language were quickly dismantled and absorbed in the process of ultrafast reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng faintly entered an extraordinary state, as if touching upon a key to unlock the door to his Palace of Wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second hand of the nearby clock was ticking, tick by tick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time around him seemed to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the dictionary pages continued to turn at an increasing pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick dictionary was nearly at its last page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, however, seemed still immersed in the boundless ocean of knowledge, searching for a key secret among rapidly turning pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warning message floated before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning! You are starting to overdraw your spirit and affecting your physical state, please rest]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s brow furrowed, his face showing a pained expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately dropped the dictionary and vigorously rubbed his temples to ease the headache that was emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until a few minutes later that his furrowed brow relaxed, and he exhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, new information rolled before his eyes, emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, through relentless effort, your Skill has reached a master level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Speed Reading lv2 (0\u002F500)]\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","d45e08ed6e1b970eb61c42a8dae1c51b06e5ea1456c0ee1d3d8ccbe7223fda06","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-261","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-259",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
