Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two shadows on the ring chased each other, agile in their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, holding a chicken-shaped target, circled the fence, constantly weaving around flexibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shijima Gorou occasionally swung his palm, occasionally kicked, taking two or three steps, following Fang Cheng to continuously hit the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene looked lively and seemed harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sparring session, Fang Cheng did not have to play the role of a stationary target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he was training with Shijima Gorou on moving target practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two training methods were quite different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For stationary target practice, one needs to grip a larger target with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changing positions of the target mainly depend on the feeder’s hand and body movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the fighter can kick freely, exerting their maximum attack power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For moving target training, the practitioner must follow the movements and direction of the target holder to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are in motion, and with the target being smaller, it is more about training the fighter’s dynamic response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also consumes more physical energy than hitting a stationary target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shijima Gorou exhaled forcefully, and with explosive strength, his movements were as fast as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punching and kicking, chopping with palms and poking with fingers, almost every move hit the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karate techniques are numerous and complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly, it’s about hand skills, foot techniques, and throwing techniques, similar to Sanda in this respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hand Skills include a range of fist and palm techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Direct Punch, Inside Fist, Hand Blade, Back Knife, Piercing Hand, Arc Fist, Ape Arm, Palm Bottom Strike, Boxing Hammer Strike, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s form varied in height, constantly changing the position of the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps twinkled and turned, rubbing the rubber floor with a \"zzt zzt\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cooperated fully with his responsibilities as a sparring partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the opponent’s current state of mind is still quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t start with fierce attacks like before, nor did he appear increasingly irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, within the range of normal behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high kick with a whooshing sound swept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the fence directly behind him, Fang Cheng’s shoulders shook slightly, and he immediately took a sidestep and ducked beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kick hit the black leather-wrapped post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole circle of ropes trembled instantly, buzzing non-stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OK.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shijima Gorou did not pursue further attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retracting his leg, he raised his gloved hand to signal Fang Cheng to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two assistants rushed up to the ring, eagerly handing him a towel and a sports drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shijima Gorou, with a sweaty face, took the towel to wipe off his sweat, then guzzled down the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that he was quite enjoying today’s sparring service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stepped down from the ring and also took out his own bottle of mineral water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting off the cap, he tilted his neck back, drinking while looking at the panel prompts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sanda experience +5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boxing experience +2]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Concentration experience +3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a small sip, he saw one of Shijima Gorou’s assistants quickly walk over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant was very respectful, presenting a business card with both hands, and spoke in Xia Country’s language:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Shijima appreciates Mr. Fang very much and invites you to visit his home this weekend without fail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng was surprised for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only sparred in the ring a few times with the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship didn’t seem to be that intimate, did it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his surprise, out of politeness, Fang Cheng still took the business card and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was written with the detailed address and contact number located in Wenchuan District of East City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being appreciated by the employer is naturally a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng did not ponder further and set the matter aside for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the Sanda Division had another job for him to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, there was another new sparring session, and the client was a freestyle fighter specializing in jujitsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s work schedule was packed, with hardly a moment to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he became Shijima Gorou’s sparring partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s reputation for being \"tough and resilient\" had spread quickly among a group of elite students and professional fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last two days, he had received invitations for seven or eight sparring sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class times had been scheduled for the following week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all goes well, and he completes all classes, the income is guaranteed to be more than 5,000 yuan, higher than what he used to make in a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is the net income after deducting the club’s insurance payments and related commissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng originally planned to balance the work of the logistics department, only taking on sparring jobs when he had no classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he’s presently too busy and has already declined many invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Fang Cheng’s approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai has no complaints whatsoever; on the contrary, he often takes extra care of Fang Cheng, letting him focus on his sparring work with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even consoled Fang Cheng, suggesting that if the surgery cost was insufficient, he himself had some financial capabilities, and lending fifty or sixty thousand wouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the personnel department has already started recruiting new employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt somewhat apologetic and decided to work extra hard before leaving his post completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of Training Room 2, on his way to Hall 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several familiar-faced professional fighters, whose names he couldn’t recall, took the initiative to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their conversations, they all inquired when he would be free to train with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparring work is charged by the hour and is tiered by class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are physically strong and can serve as human punching bags are in one tier, with hourly rates mostly between 500 to 700 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are physically strong, experienced, and proficient in a specific professional fighting technique belong to the second tier, with an hourly rate starting at a minimum of 800 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for retired champion-level fighters, they are on another, immeasurable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shijima Gorou offers Fang Cheng an hourly rate of 1000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Cheng did not ask for an exorbitant fee from the other fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply set a median hourly rate of 700 yuan per session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lower price does have its benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, wherever Fang Cheng goes, people try to cozy up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the elite students from the Boxing and Sanda departments who he is familiar with have approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They want to have a full-throttle, special training session with him before participating in professional competitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reckons that with his high Constitution points of 20, he is fully capable of taking three to four classes per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case... breaking through a monthly income of fifty thousand is no longer just a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his flight of fancy, a cough was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Shen, about to start his class, came out of the opposite office and greeted him proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face bore a smile as he looked at Fang Cheng and asked with concern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was today’s training, can you adapt to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nodded indifferently, responding politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted awkwardly for a few moments before going their separate ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Haoming glanced back at Fang Cheng’s retreating figure, his gaze flickering slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for his changed attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was truly due to the trouble brought by that guy Shijima Gorou, which had been a headache and robbed him of sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the repeated injuries to the sparring partners, he frequently made Coach Shen lose face in front of the students and other coaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact is, the other party was essentially the club’s god of wealth, a student personally referred by the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he got walloped, he had to swallow his broken teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there came a tank who could take a beating and attract enmity; shouldn’t he be properly ingratiated and treasured like a crown prince?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those previous little disputes, they weren’t even worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The club’s work was busy yet fulfilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, darkness enveloped the outside window, but indoors, the venue was still brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today a night class was scheduled, meaning overtime work again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logistics department staff gathered in the dressing room, eating boxed meals and chatting, enjoying a momentary break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng also held a boxed meal in his hands, chewing on the greasy vegetables and ground meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he fiddled with his chopsticks, he suddenly lifted his eyes, looking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prompt message emerged in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Delicacy Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng shook his head and put the squeaky clean empty meal box aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating a boxed meal and gaining experience, no one would believe it if he told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through two days of exploration and combining some guesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng more or less understood the specific function of this skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"Delicacy\" skill should improve the digestion speed and nutritional absorption rate by training gut functionality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should it reach lv1, perhaps eating one meal could be equivalent to eating two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some rather poor food could provide the body with the necessary nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could truly be called a skill for foodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reeled back his thoughts and turned his gaze towards the other two unopened drumstick meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three great secrets of fitness: exercise, rest, and diet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to become stronger, eating more is always right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it can show up on the panel and increase experience points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then just continue to grind!\u003C\u002Fp>",1606,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.559Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","105aff11d5e4f3b0e023a834a2b186fa95c4379efcacd5fe3277b71e69b6931a","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-43","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-41",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
