Start with push-ups to gain experience

Chapter 102 Skill Effect "Ape Waist"

Early in the morning, six o'clock.

The mist, like a veil, permeates the air.

In the dim and soft light, the buildings in the distance are looming, appearing particularly peaceful and tranquil.

It seemed that the whole city had not yet completely emerged from the deep night.

Fang Cheng held the water pipe with both hands, his body hanging in the air, and kept practicing pull-ups.

The water pipe is relatively thick and only about half of it can be grasped, so it tests the finger and wrist strength even more.

In addition, sacks filled with bricks were tied under the feet, and dragging the heavy weight further increased the difficulty.

"..."

"48."

"49."

"50."

The body continued to rise, with the neck completely above the water pipe.

After a brief pause, he jumped down.

He shook his arms and looked up at the information on the panel.

[Pull-up experience +19]

Fang Cheng nodded slightly.

Relying solely on your own body weight to practice pull-ups, leg raises and squats, the efficiency of exercise is gradually decreasing.

After choosing to increase the weight, the effect seems to be quite good.

Like this morning exercise, I completed a total of 250 double-handed weighted pull-ups.

The experience points gained are almost the same as those gained from practicing 500 one-handed pull-ups before.

However, the exercise time was reduced by half.

With this estimate, the efficiency can be said to have been nearly doubled.

There is plenty of time.

You can naturally spend more time on those fighting skills whose progress has been slowed down during morning exercises.

and.

During the rest period after each set of training, Fang Cheng did not simply do some stretching exercises to exercise his muscles as he did before.

Instead, try standing in a horse stance, combining it with standing meditation, and practicing the "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound" breathing method.

Concentrate on guiding the weak airflow in your abdomen to spread around.

I found that when I did this, my fatigue didn’t get worse, but my recovery effect was slightly improved.

Fang Cheng thought to himself that during the exercise of alternating movement and stillness, his body was like a bowstring that stretched and relaxed.

The breathing technique seems to fit this rule perfectly, relieving muscle fatigue in a subtle vibration way.

If this skill can be successfully mastered and unlocked in the future, the effect should be more significant.

After doing a set of pull-ups, I did horse stance for 5 minutes.

"Hululu..."

Fang Cheng's abdomen bulged slightly, and he exhaled a long, slow breath with a slight tremor.

Then he stood up and kicked his legs.

Then tie the sack rope buckles around both ankles again and prepare to continue practicing hanging leg raises.

"Start the 5th set of leg raises!"

Fang Cheng recited the words in a ritualistic manner, holding the water pipe tightly with his ten fingers.

The waist and abdominal core suddenly tightened, and using only the strength of the abdominal muscles, the straight legs were lifted to a horizontal position.

A sack weighing more than 100 pounds was also lifted up, swaying slightly in the air.

Hold for one breath, then slowly and forcefully lower it.

Let your body feel as much as possible the extra feeling of being suspended in the air when your waist and abdomen are tightened during this process.

Repeat this action and complete a set of 50.

Fang Cheng took a breath and looked intently at the skill panel.

[Leg Raise Level 1 (249/250)]

"I'm almost leveling up. Keep working hard. If I practice a dozen more, I should be able to..."

A drop of sweat fell from his forehead along the tip of his nose. Fang Cheng shook his hair to get rid of the sweat running down his face.

Instead of jumping off to take a break, he continued to exercise.

"51."

"52."

"..."

"68."

"69."

"70"

Counting silently and doing exercises silently.

The panel suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

at last.

After completing 270 weighted hanging leg raises, the skill progress bar was broken.

Several prompt messages appeared before my eyes one after another.

[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your skills have reached a higher level and have reached the master level]

[Leg Raise Level 2 (0/500)]

[Get enhanced rewards, skill special effect "Ape Waist"]

[Ape waist, with a waist as flexible as a monkey, increases jumping ability and air time by 80%]

Looking at the introduction of the enhanced rewards, Fang Cheng's eyes lit up.

The so-called "jumping ability" is actually related to strength and agility attributes.

"Hanging time" is quite unique. It is related to agility, but not completely dependent on the effect of agility.

The most powerful aspect of this skill is perhaps the "hanging time" which is the most difficult to improve. In other words, it is related to the light work in martial arts novels, movies and TV dramas.

Of course, it is indeed a bit exaggerated to achieve that kind of "anti-gravity" special effect in reality.

But in traditional martial arts, there is indeed unique body training targeting the waist and abdomen.

There is a saying: "Dantian is like a ball and waist is like an axis. If you can spin it and hit others, you don't have to worry."

The key points of Qinggong are "light body" and "lifting and jumping", hoping to be able to stand or move on objects that cannot bear weight.

You can even use your luck and some cleverness to get up into the air for a short time.

This enables effects such as flying over eaves and walls, jumping over houses and ridges, flying over grass, and chasing cicadas in eight steps.

Master Wu Dewang of Baihe Sect was standing on a wine bottle while doing boxing, which is actually a kind of light Kung Fu.

After obtaining the skill special effect enhancement.

Fang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the concrete water tank that was nearly 3 meters high.

Determine the specific effect of the experiment.

Instead of retreating a few meters, he chose to run up and use the momentum to climb and jump.

Instead, he walked to the bottom of the water tank, squatted and raised his head, pushed the ground hard with his feet, and swung his arms vigorously.

Then he jumped from a standing position, his body soaring up like a big bird, and easily jumped to the top of the water tank.

Standing on it, Fang Cheng stamped his feet, seeming to be a little unsatisfied.

Considering my current physical attributes of 21 points of agility and 32 points of strength, a height of 3 meters is indeed too easy.

This is far from the upper limit of my jumping ability.

Because he also has another skill special effect "Elasticity".

If the two are combined and pushed to the limit, it might be a little shocking.

Fang Cheng collected his thoughts and looked down.

Then he leaped forward, and suddenly his waist and abdomen twisted in mid-air.

The whole person instantly seemed to be pressed on the slow-motion button, slowing down the descent.

Even during the falling process, you can continuously adjust your posture and perform two or three different somersaults.

The limit of an ordinary person's airborne stay is about 1 second.

So, now he is almost close to 2 seconds.

In the blink of an eye, both feet landed on the ground again.

Fang Cheng concentrated his mind and carefully experienced the subtle feeling of "lightly lifting the body" just now.

It seemed that in an instant, all the strength in the whole body was condensed into an integrated force, gathered in the waist and abdomen, thus bursting out with abilities far beyond usual.

And it is not about holding it back with muscles, but at the moment of twisting the waist and expanding the back, the waist suddenly tightens, closing the joints of the whole body, giving a vague feeling of pushing oneself up into the air.

If explained according to human kinesiology, the waist is connected to the spine in the human structure. It is the center for transmitting force from bottom to top and plays an absolutely important role in commanding the strength of the whole body.

So the essence of this skill is that it allows one to reach a higher level of control over the body.

Maybe... if I continue to improve my physical fitness in the future, it will be possible to fly a distance like in martial arts movies.

Fang Cheng was daydreaming and let out a sigh of relief.

Turning around and looking at the crisscrossing pipes around me, I couldn't help but feel interested in playing.

Then he pointed his toes and leaped forward, constantly practicing tactical moves such as sprinting, jumping, somersaults, and climbing walls in this complex obstacle terrain.

The footsteps were light and landed silently.

He is agile, like a professional parkour athlete.

He demonstrated all kinds of cool and difficult skills with ease, as if he had learned them by himself.

It was like he had really transformed into a monkey, nimbly moving through the jungle and giving full play to his body's instincts.

....................................

Lin Fusheng's bone-setting clinic.

Today is particularly lively, with the noise of people bustling around like a boiling pot.

Many thugs with bruised faces, broken limbs and noses crowded in the lobby, waiting for treatment.

There were also a number of guys who were already bandaged and splinted who still lingered there, talking loudly and swearing with a group of like-minded people.

In a chaotic scene.

Master Lin, wearing reading glasses, patiently removed the bullet from a seriously injured person and applied medicinal wine.

Wen Huiyi was also wearing decent and clean clothes, busy pouring tea and water for the guests and running around.

Fang Cheng sat in front of an old acquaintance, Fei Ge, and gave him a massage.

After morning exercises, he went to the club to take a sparring class and work part-time to earn money.

In the afternoon, I continued to go to Lingang District to scout out the area and try to find new opportunities.

only.

This time, Wu Shihao seemed to be afraid of being assassinated and paid great attention to his own safety.

Not only did he stay inside the company, but he also had many bodyguards around him.

If you want to kill the opponent silently, it is only possible if you have stealth skills.

In addition, Fang Cheng also discovered that there were strangers who looked like police officers following him nearby.

After observing for a while, he turned around and left calmly, returning empty-handed for the time being.

On the way home, when I passed by the bonesetter's clinic, I saw that Master Lin's business was so booming and he was almost exhausted from being busy.

I couldn't help feeling guilty, so I came in to help.

Perform your duties as an apprentice and practice your skills in saving lives and healing the wounded.

At this moment, a group of hooligans were talking excitedly with saliva flying, seemingly forgetting that they were still injured.

In particular, Brother Fei enjoyed Fang Cheng's superb massage technique and hummed with comfort.

Then he described in vivid detail a recent disturbance in the underworld, as if he were telling a story, which startled everyone.

"The Three Wolf Gang and the Red Tiger Gang have both suffered heavy losses. The situation has become tense and they have no choice but to fight."

"In the battle last night, both sides sent out their top fighters to lead the charge. The fight was originally pretty close."

"However, the expert from the Red Tiger Gang is obviously more sinister."

"He frowned, and a plan came to his mind. He stamped his left foot on the ground, called out "Master", and displayed his power. Then he used his magical skills, which made it impossible for knives to cut him and bullets to penetrate him..."
