A monster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or like Shijima Gorou, a freak whose body has mutated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, staring straight ahead at the washbasin mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beast-like pupils emitting green light, always lingering in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human eyes can’t possibly be that bright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brushed back his slightly long fringe on his forehead, clearly meeting his own reflection in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no lights on in the room, and it was raining outside, one could say there was almost no light coming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair of pupils reflected in the mirror twinkled like stars on a cold night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the cornea, reflecting a faintly visible dark red glimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s mouth hung open, frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own eyes were also very bright in the dark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery felt like a slap in the face, overturning his previous assertions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s brow furrowed slightly, a strange thought suddenly flashing through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that guy smiled at me because he thought I was one of his kind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale blue light screen slowly unfolded in front of him, obscuring the slightly odd figure in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surprised look in Fang Cheng’s eyes quickly faded, replaced by calmness and a rising excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans experience fear entirely because they are too fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To overcome this emotion, the only way is to make oneself strong enough to crush the source of all fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng turned back to his bedroom and glanced at the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4:02.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleep evasion took hold, he decided to start his morning exercise earlier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped towards the balcony in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaze fixed on the pitch-black rainy night outside the window, he began with a set of warm-up exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a slight sway of his shoulders, he alternated his footwork forward and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists struck out like lightning flashes, his arms sweeping laterally in coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the power in his movements snapping through the air, he freely executed combination skills that fused Boxing, Sanda, Jujitsu, and Muay Thai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the newly learned Muay Thai elbow and knee techniques, which he displayed with increasing proficiency and ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, a figure agilely dodged back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the sky gradually became less opaque and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the thick rain clouds, dawn still pierced through the windows, illuminating the figure diligently training inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng exhaled a breath of warm air, beads of sweat lightly covering his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another morning exercise session came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A panel appeared before his eyes, scrolling through notifications of attribute increases and experience gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reviewed his gains for the day, feeling a slight sense of fulfillment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at another notification, his eyes shining even more brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, your diligent practice has led to some understanding and you’ve successfully mastered a fighting Skill.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unlocked Skill: Muay Thai lv0 (0\u002F100)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng wiped the sweat off his face and looked up at the cloudy skies outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain had let up quite a bit, and the sounds of people on the street were coming to life again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned to go wash his face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he heard the wailing siren of a police car, suddenly approaching from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt a twitch in his chest and immediately walked to the window, looking down from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw an old, paint-peeling compact car with flashing police lights, rushing through the narrow streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wheels continuously splashing muddy water, pedestrians on the street avoided it on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the rain-soaked car windows, a familiar face could be faintly seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that Uncle Zhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be because of that strange incident that happened early this morning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but speculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mottled three-story hotel stood quietly amidst the murky rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unlit signboard read \"Yijia Hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few military police in uniforms were setting up black and yellow police tape in front of the entrance, constantly driving away the curious nearby residents who had come to gawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the early morning rain, it couldn’t keep the crowd’s curiosity at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some stood under the eaves across the street, pointing and gesturing towards the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others simply opened umbrellas, crowded up to the police line, craning their necks to peek inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I hear a murder happened here last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just a murder, but a dismemberment case!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, I just saw those cops go in there and they ended up throwing up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss, killing is killing, why indulge in such a high degree of difficulty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the crowd reflected both fear and a bizarre excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intermittent barking of dogs around seemed to cheer on these onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, indeed, a young police officer rushed out from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth puffed up, he leaned against the wall, and vomited a mouthful of yellow bile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a police car with sirens blazing pulled up at the curb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three detectives wearing jackets got out of the car, covered their heads with their clothes, and hurriedly ran towards the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside, move aside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t hinder the police’s work, what’s there to see?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the detectives, with a dark complexion, roughly pushed through the crowd with two subordinates, squeezing their way inside.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","f60709ee18bf164eebb077eea6cba61f3493dcdb775ebe0f0e1fbc6fd084a442","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-69","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-67",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
