other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng holds a red rectangular kicking target in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Shen stands three meters away, practicing kicking and hip-twisting movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them is a crowd of onlookers who are not afraid of causing a stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Shen said he wanted to test Fang Cheng's ability to take hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of using elite students for the assessment as usual, he took on the role of the striker himself, showing great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head coach of a department actually stepping into the fray made the assessment all the more eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai suddenly walked up to Fang Cheng and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Haoming practices Songtao Hall Style, a black belt third dan level, his leg techniques are as heavy as mine, and he likes to launch stealth attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to be careful, plant your stance firmly in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been warned by Xu Maochai, Fang Cheng nodded slightly to show he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming stood opposite, glancing over with a teasing look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is the head coach of the karate department and also a close friend and confidant of Manager Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Fang Cheng refused Manager Li's offer and chose to join forces with Xu Maochai, with whom Li often clashed, it caused considerable displeasure between the two parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sparring assessment happened to run right into the line of fire, and of course, it wouldn't let him off easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming's intention in stepping in himself was to make Fang Cheng suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, he wanted to kick and cause him internal injury, which would allow him to vent frustration on behalf of Manager Li and also naturally provide a reason to reject the application.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Fang Cheng had demonstrated physical abilities beyond those of ordinary people through the push-up test, being a sparring partner is not all about having good physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming, who had won the karate world championship, had been retired for many years, but his combat prowess had not diminished much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To deal with such an outsider, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Shen Haoming immediately narrowed his gaze, his eyes turning sharp and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then assumed the Songtao Hall Style's four-directional combat stance, facing Fang Cheng sideways, his right foot's Tiger Claw rolling on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had just nodded when he suddenly saw a figure charging towards him like a swift wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were speaking, Shen Haoming had already twisted his waist, lifted his foot, and gathered momentum for launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprinted forward a few steps, then leveraging the force from his right foot pushing off the ground, his body soared into the air with a flying kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the most powerful leg techniques in karate are the Three Moon Kick, Sacrifice Kick, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But speaking of the leg technique with the greatest impact force, the Flying Side Kick stands unmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also known as the aerial sidekick in Sanda!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he used his killer move right off the bat meant he really did regard Fang Cheng as an immobile human-shaped target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng clenched his hands into fists, holding onto the kicking target firmly, raising it above his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the cushioning, the tremendous force still penetrated the sponge filling, reaching his arms, shoulders, and even his chest and internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng's body shook, and he quickly took a half step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move slightly dissipated the impact's energy, withstanding the fiercely powerful flying kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also showcased the solidity and stability of his lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of deep squats each day weren't for nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng bore the brunt of the kick, his gaze swiftly scanning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Shen Haoming's feet touch down, full of openings and flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he wanted to throw away the kicking target, grab Shen's waist and legs, and give him a severe fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, Fang Cheng curbed that impulsive thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning to box starts with learning to take hits, and being a sparring partner is no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming quickly recomposed himself and adjusted his footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Fang Cheng hadn't been sent flying by his heavy kick, he frowned, ready to continue his onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a wave of surprised questioning voices arose from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Shen, just how much strength did you put into that kick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not have enough to eat? With all that show, that's it? Just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other coaches suddenly surged forward, surrounding the two to express their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shen Haoming unleash even an aerial kick, Fang Cheng still appeared composed and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't help but wonder if this old chap was deliberately taking it easy and cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe he was just showing off his graceful and beautiful leg techniques in front of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming took a deep breath, focusing intently on Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, smiling, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, you're pretty good, able to withstand half of my power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other coaches instantly realized and nodded in agreement, praising a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that Shen Haoming could kick a bowl-thick training wooden pile in half, being able to withstand half his power with protective gear, the performance could already be considered excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among professional fighters, he would definitely be above average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If just half of the power was this strong, if he really used his full strength, he might really get kicked flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top professional fighters are terrifying like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng took in a small breath of cool air, and his blood surged even more with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look he gave Shen Haoming was so intense that it made him involuntarily turn his head to avoid the burning gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have I passed the assessment now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An especially talent-appreciating coach spoke up for Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we test the power of his punch? There's a boxing strength tester over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another skinny, dark-skinned Muay Thai coach seemed to be unsatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai immediately retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's not becoming a boxer, why test these things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Xu, you are wrong there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Hu suddenly interjected: \"With Fang Cheng's physical condition, he could easily make it in professional competitions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai asked indifferently: \"Are you prepared to sponsor his training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Hu responded with an embarrassed smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Fang Cheng were a bit younger, maybe, but now I think it's quite suitable for him to be a sparring partner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professional competitions aren't as simple as just signing up, going on stage to beat a fighter, and earning a prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upfront preparation costs include hiring professional coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, sparring partners, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and other team staff salaries, along with daily training equipment and venue rental fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, one must purchase a high level of health insurance to cover potential accidental injuries during matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, one wouldn't even be eligible to register or sign up for competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, every famous fighter can be considered a walking equivalent weight in gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the coaching team unanimously approved of Fang Cheng's performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming didn't continue to be deliberately contrarian or difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promptly signed his name on the HR agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were watching dispersed with a bit of discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those waiting for class continued to wait, those training for physical fitness continued to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai patted Fang Cheng on the shoulder, encouraging him with a few words before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coaches left one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng also headed towards the changing room, escorted by several colleagues from the logistics department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was slightly sweaty, having no lessons for the time being, so he could take a shower and relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the karate department floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Shen Haoming was left standing there, not moving for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone walking away, he suddenly twisted his right foot quickly, his mouth contorting, and he inhaled a sharp breath of cool air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though he had stepped on a nail, Shen Haoming's face showed bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That flying side kick a moment ago, while showy and dashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the kick hit the kick target, it felt like he struck a lump of iron hidden inside the shock-absorbing layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for maintaining composure as a master, the pain almost made him shout out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid's fists, are they not made of flesh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his many years of fighting experience, without looking down in detail, his foot was undoubtedly bruised.\u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.559Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9c960ba0b9695505e0ad9ab2264b514773219362f176326ff0b39b8f714f9ef","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-30","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-28",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
