Chapter 139 Unlocking the Breathing Method

Fang Cheng smelled a familiar scent of perfume and looked back.

I saw a plump girl wearing black-framed glasses.

It was Shen Lili, whom I met through Pan Wendi before.

She walked over with a hint of curiosity and glanced at the closed meditation hall.

Then he turned to look at Fang Cheng and took the initiative to find a topic:
"Mr. Ma, has your tour group also taken meditation classes here?"

Fang Cheng nodded, and then asked her:
"Ms. Shen, are you attending class?"

Shen Lili's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile:

"I'm not very interested in these, and there are many free tricks. It seems like a bargain, but there may be some marketing terms hidden."

Fang Cheng also smiled slightly when he heard this.

The two chatted briefly and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Shen Lili claims to be a folklorist. She came to Yong'an Island specifically to participate in the long-famous "Sea Festival".

Fang Cheng once again brought up the identity of "Ma Donghao", a character with tragic experience.

While speaking, he was secretly observing the woman in front of him.

I always feel that her expression and behavior reveal an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Especially the faint scent of perfume emanating from her body.

When I was in the cafeteria before, there were many people around, talking a lot, and all kinds of smells mixed together.

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.

Now that they were alone, the scent was especially palpable.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and asked:
"Ms. Shen, do you know Lin Chuqiao?"

"Lin Chuqiao? Who is she? A female celebrity?"

Shen Lili had a dull expression and looked a little surprised.

Then he pushed up his black-framed glasses and shook his head, "I don't know the person you're talking about."

Fang Cheng stared at her slightly flickering eyes hidden behind the lenses.

Then he said calmly:
"Really? Pan Wendi has just explained everything to me."

Hearing this, Shen Lili opened her eyes wide and said angrily:
"This guy Wendy is just unreliable, he really should sew his mouth shut!"

After cursing with gritted teeth, he looked up at Fang Cheng, only to see a hint of mischief on his face.

She immediately realized that the man was playing tricks on her.

Shen Lili, no, it should be Lin Chuqiao who showed embarrassment and snorted.

He immediately waved his hand and said calmly:
"Forget it. I didn't intend to hide it from you. I just did it to be on the safe side."

This "fat girl with glasses" turned out to be Lin Chuqiao in disguise.

Fang Cheng looked at her speechlessly:
"You are dressed like this, are you here to be an agent?"

Lin Chuqiao showed a mysterious smile:
"Of course I'm worried that you might be in danger, so I came to help you."

Then he whispered:
"It's not convenient now, let's find a chance to talk tomorrow."

At this time, a staff member was walking towards this side in the distance.

Lin Chuqiao pretended to chat for a few minutes and then said goodbye and left.

Fang Cheng looked at her back, then glanced at the meditation hall and shook his head.

I guessed in my heart that Lin Chuqiao might have come here because he really wanted to meet her.

However, this has nothing to do with myself.

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

August 1th, early morning.

The bright golden sun completely jumped out of the sea level.

A fishing boat, with the sound of its motor, cut through the waves and passed near the cape.

And just beneath the sparkling water, there is a dark place where even the sunlight can hardly reach.

There was a figure lying on the rocks covered with volcanic ash, his body swaying.

He is under pressure that ordinary people can hardly imagine and is undergoing extreme physical training.

"..."

“498.” “499.”

"500."

Finally completed 10 sets of push-ups.

Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled a string of bubbles from his nostrils.

Then he stood up and looked at the light blue screen appearing in the darkness.

[Push-up experience +65]

[Squat experience +63]

[Push-ups level 2 (412/500)]

[Squat level 2 (372/500)]

Looking at the skill practice progress displayed on the panel, Fang Cheng nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

Prior to this, 10 sets of squat exercises had been successfully completed.

As for the other four skills in the Prisoner's Six Arts.

Because the exercise efficiency is not as high as push-ups and squats, Fang Cheng plans to put it aside for the time being.

This frees up time for practicing standing meditation and breathing techniques.

At this moment, the sky above my head was rippling with light, hazy and brighter than before.

Apparently it wasn't too early.

Looking at the skill progress displayed on the panel.

[Zhuang Gong lv0 (76/100)]

Fang Cheng then held his breath and concentrated his mind, tucked in his chest and straightened his back, and united his waist and horse.

He firmly planted his body with his legs, and then stood on the rocks on the seabed to practice standing meditation.

At the beginning, I felt it was quite easy, at least not as strenuous as doing squats.

When the whole person has completely calmed down, he begins to feel the extreme double depression from both the body and the mind.

The sea water rushed in from all directions, constantly squeezing every inch of skin, trying to seep in through the ears, nostrils, and even pores.

The internal organs of the body are also affected by the huge pressure.

The lungs first compress inward, expelling some of the oxygen stored in the alveoli.

Next comes the heart, which pumps violently a few times to increase blood supply to the body.

Then, organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, gallbladder, and stomach and intestines also quickly adjust and adapt due to the influence of the water pressure.

Fang Cheng activated his concentration skill and deeply felt the drastic yet subtle changes occurring inside his body.

Then he silently circulated his breath and his abdomen bulged.

Slowly, his shoulders and body began to tremble slightly.

A faint sound emanates from the abdominal cavity as the exhalation occurs, then spreads and transmits to the surrounding areas.

Through this whole-body vibration that is similar to the sound of thunder entering the body, the sense of oppression on the internal organs and blood vessels caused by the water pressure is subtly dissipated, and the slightly disordered breath inside the body is straightened out.

Fang Cheng suddenly felt his mind open and his breathing became easier.

Perhaps it was because the contrast with the oppressive feeling at the beginning was too obvious, making me feel it so clearly that I had never felt it before.

Or maybe it was the "Water Breathing" talent that played an amplifying role.

Let yourself have the instinct of efficient breathing like a whale, so as to smoothly control the movement of breath in the body.

Fang Cheng can easily achieve the training results that were previously impossible to achieve on land.

Moreover, as the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Technique was practiced, the heat flow generated at the bottom of the lower abdomen was slowly growing stronger and becoming more and more stable.

It is no longer as unpredictable and fleeting as before.

The sunlight shines through the sea surface tens of meters high, slightly raising the temperature of the dark and cold waters.

Fang Cheng's whole body became warmer, his skin turned slightly red, and his blood circulation accelerated.

All the pores on his body opened, as if expelling the foul air from the body with the vibration of the thunder sound, while at the same time greedily absorbing the oxygen molecules contained in the sea water.

Suddenly, the light blue screen flickered and a prompt message appeared.

[Congratulations, you have practiced your skills diligently, have gained initial insights, and have successfully mastered a health-preserving skill]

[Unlocked skill: Breathing technique level 0 (0/100)]
