Chapter 185 Skill Effect "Air Walk"

It was past two in the morning and the sound of sirens could still be heard from time to time.

The moonlight poured through the window, filling half of the room, adding a touch of coolness to this restless night.

Fang Cheng lay on his side on the sofa, unable to sleep for a long time.

My mind kept thinking about the secrets I heard in the chat room.

Now one thing is certain.

The abnormal mental attack I encountered when I was meditating before.

Since it was not the action of the Smiling Devil, it must have come from that mysterious man, the so-called Ghoul Leader.

The reason why He Yao turned into a terrifying zombie was most likely because he was infected by the black rain and underwent some kind of mutation.

In this world, all monsters are formed from different factors, but they all have a special source.

As early as thousands of years ago in the primitive tribal period, various legends about gods and demons were born.

There are some lucky people among humans who accidentally obtain mysterious powers, and thus have the power to surpass other ordinary people and have the power of life and death.

Some of them lost their nature due to power and turned into man-eating monsters that committed all kinds of evil.

Some rely on their powerful strength to slay demons and monsters, put an end to disasters, and become half-human, half-god heroes in myths and legends.

Eventually, these heroes formed clans with their own blood as the bond, created city-states on the earth, and led mankind to open up the wilderness and move towards civilization.

The abilities they possess are also inherited by their direct descendants through genetic inheritance.

However, as time passed, the ethnic group gradually multiplied and expanded.

The bloodline of descendants gradually becomes thinner, and their blood relationship with their ancestors becomes increasingly distant, approaching zero.

Correspondingly, humans with extraordinary abilities began to become rare, one in a million.

This point is actually reflected in the myths of various countries.

For example, cutting off the connection between heaven and earth and isolating the boundary between gods and humans.

For example, there is the theory of the degeneration of golden humans, silver humans, bronze humans, and iron humans.

but.

Even so, after being triggered by special reasons or under certain conditions, ordinary people still have a chance to experience atavism and reactivate the abilities hidden in their blood genes.

This process is called "awakening".

Whether they are children of noble families or various monsters, their essence is the same, only their degree of awakening is different.

They are all at the top of the food chain and are carnivores who can manipulate the fate of ordinary people.

It’s just that the power of the children of aristocratic families is relatively more stable, with fewer hidden dangers, and they look not much different from ordinary people.

The monsters become more mentally insane, and even their bodies mutate, so they are excluded from mainstream human society. They can only hide in dark corners and call themselves monsters.

In fact, the ancestors of everyone in modern society can be traced back to the clan period.

Everyone has the possibility of awakening their abilities, it’s just a matter of probability.

Of course, those aristocratic families have not remained unchanged from ancient times to the present. Their descendants may become ordinary people again due to the decline of their bloodlines.

According to the Smiling Devil's explanation, both he and Fang Cheng's bloodline came from a once-declined family.

Although his abilities have been awakened, due to the lack of family protection, he will eventually end up on the path of self-destruction like those monsters.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Fang Cheng's mind.

Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi should be from a rather mysterious family.

I wonder what kind of monster I am in their eyes, and what kind of terrifying image I have?
As I tossed and turned, I heard a faint noise.

Squeak.

The door to the inner bedroom was gently pushed open.

Then, a slender and graceful figure walked out quietly.

She held a blanket in both hands and walked very softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the man sleeping on the sofa.

The faint moonlight shone on that beautiful and fair face, like a delicate lily.

It was Zhou Xiumei who was also unable to sleep.

She stared at Fang Cheng, who didn't move at all, then bent down and tucked the opened corner of the quilt neatly back in place.

Then he carefully covered the quilt with the blanket in his hand.

After doing all this, Zhou Xiumei did not leave, but squatted quietly in front of the sofa.

The moonlight is warm and the cool breeze gently blows the curtains.

Neon lights flickered, and an inexplicable atmosphere of tranquility filled the entire room.

Fang Cheng had his eyes closed, his breathing slow and leisurely, and he lay very quietly on the sofa.

Zhou Xiumei held her chin with her hand, blinking her eyes, staring at the sleeping man intently.

Sometimes her brows are furrowed with sorrow, and sometimes the corners of her lips are upturned with joy.

My heart couldn't help but beat fast, and I couldn't help but stretch out my delicate fingers to gently and carefully stroke this handsome face.

A high nose, thin lips, and thick eyebrows that were rebelliously raised upwards and slanted into the temples like swords.

His face was like a sculpture, with distinct features and angular contours that were simply perfect and impeccable.

When his spirited eyes were covered by the eyelids, they lost some of their domineering aura and gained a gentle and jade-like temperament, making him appear more approachable.

Looking at the peaceful scene before her, Zhou Xiumei's eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.

Suddenly, the man's eyelashes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Her fingers trembled suddenly, and she stood up immediately in fear and hurried back to the bedroom.

Thump, thump, thump.

This time, the footsteps were obviously much louder.

Wait until Zhou Xiumei carefully closed the bedroom door again.

In the darkness, Fang Cheng, lying on the sofa, opened his eyes.

He looked towards the bedroom with bright eyes and a smile on his lips.

Then, he shook his head and sighed.

The sound of sirens could still be heard outside, and my thoughts were still so complicated that it was difficult to fall asleep.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of peace and warmth in his heart.

"Good night……"

Fang Cheng said softly, then closed his eyes.

Soon my mind calmed, my breathing slowed down, and I fell asleep peacefully and silently.

Outside the window, the moonlight gradually fades and the night is as gentle as water.

The sleepless lights also turned from clear to dim.

Time flows slowly, taking away all the noise from the outside world.

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps in the corridor.

"call----"

Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes again.

I raised my head and looked out the slightly bright window. The glass was covered with misty raindrops.

It was quiet all around, and the sound of raindrops falling could be heard.

"I actually overslept..."

Fang Cheng stretched, quickly threw off the quilt and blanket, and climbed up from the sofa.

Even if it rains, it cannot stop a heart that is eager to exercise and become stronger.

Looking back at Zhou Xiumei's tightly closed bedroom door, Fang Cheng gently opened the kicked door and then gently closed it.

Then, he strode out.

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

In the tube building, on the rooftop.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the drizzle continued, bringing a sense of peace to the world.

After a night of disturbance, most of the residents of Jiuchang Street were still asleep.

The gray sky was like a thick piece of velvet, blocking the faint morning light.

The city shrouded in rain and clouds seemed particularly cold and silent.

Fang Cheng was wearing a pair of shorts and walking barefoot on the wet concrete floor.

The raindrops fell slowly from the clouds, like thousands of fine needles, hitting the body and making it chilling to the bone.

Fang Cheng ignored him and just kept squatting and standing up.

Until you complete the last set, the 250th squat.

Then he carefully put down the 500-pound barbell on his shoulders.

A light blue screen appeared.

A long string of information flowed before my eyes like running water.

[Focus Experience +3]

[Tai Chi experience +6] [Push-ups experience +15]

[Squat experience +18]

[Pull-up experience +22]

………………

………………

………………

After looking at the skill experience points gained from this morning exercise, Fang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the street in the distance.

The whole city was still gray and blurry.

The tall buildings appear and disappear in the rain, as mysterious as a mirage.

Although I got up later than usual, I finished my morning exercise earlier.

This is mainly because of the battle last night, which improved my fighting skills and experience a lot.

Fang Cheng did not do any air strikes today, but just practiced Tai Chi a little more, which freed up more time for morning exercises.

Huhu——

The raindrops were blown onto my face by the wind, piercing my bones and skin, causing a slight pain.

The rain, which had started at three or four in the morning, seemed to be getting heavier.

Fang Cheng had no intention of retreating, but instead felt a strange sense of excitement.

He smoothed the wet hair on his forehead and looked at the panel again.

[Handstand push-up level 1 (243/250)]

I only need 7 experience points to reach the master level.

Maybe I can try harder today and strive to make a breakthrough in this skill as well.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's desire to exercise was rekindled, and he immediately turned his eyes to the other training equipment piled aside.

Then he bent down to pick up the tight belt filled with iron blocks, and tied it to his thighs, calves, upper arms, forearms, waist, chest and back in turn.

Then tighten each tensioner to ensure that the iron block is strong and stable enough and will not fall easily.

After putting on the 200-pound weight again, I started additional handstand push-up training.

Fang Cheng supported himself on the wet concrete floor with his hands, his arms about shoulder-width apart.

Then he took a deep breath, exerted a little force on his waist and abdomen, and raised his legs high.

The whole person suddenly stood upside down, with his body hanging in the air.

call--

A gust of wind mixed with cold raindrops blew in.

Fang Cheng's torso remained motionless, his legs slightly spread apart, and he quickly adjusted his posture in the wind and rain.

The handstand push-up is a very challenging move and can be said to be the most difficult skill among the six arts of the prisoner.

There are also certain risks, such as loss of balance may lead to falls, shoulder or lumbar spine injuries, etc.

When practicing, in addition to the coordinated efforts of the shoulders, arms, waist and back core muscles, you must also master some tips for fine-tuning your posture in the air.

Before trying handstand push-ups, beginners should do some basic strength and balance training in advance.

With Fang Cheng's current strength and agility, completing a handstand, a difficult move for ordinary people, is a piece of cake.

Even when carrying a 200-pound load, he still appears to be extremely calm and steady.

"1."

"2."

"3."

"..."

Fang Cheng stood upside down, stepping on the gloomy sky, counting silently in his mind.

His arms were sometimes bent and sometimes straightened, and the muscles in his shoulders and back bulged like hills from time to time.

Do handstand push-ups in an orderly manner with a specific and steady rhythm.

As the number of exercises gradually increases, prompt messages of experience growth also pass by one after another.

When he counted to 50, Fang Cheng kept his hands upside down, paused, exhaled, and took a short rest.

Looking at the progress bar on the panel which always remains at 248 points, there has been no sign of a breakthrough for a long time.

After a brief thought, he decided to challenge a more difficult move.

One-handed handstand.

For Fang Cheng, the difficulty of this movement does not lie in using the strength of one hand to support the weight of the body plus a load of 200 kilograms.

The key is how to maintain balance when the body is suspended in the air so as not to fall down.

If you just maintain a static state, it's relatively easy.

But if you are carrying a weight of 200 pounds, standing with your arms bent with one hand, and moving up and down.

Then, the balance requirement for the body is extremely high.

but.

Fang Cheng still plans to give it a try.

After resting for two minutes, he let go of his left hand and supported the ground with only his right hand.

The raindrops fell obliquely, and were blown by the wind to the east and then to the west.

In this terrible environment where the wind direction changes all the time, Fang Cheng's body can't help but sway.

Fortunately, he has been training for a long time and has rich skills and experience.

He immediately bent his back slightly inward into a bow shape, and then adjusted his posture in an instant.

After finding his balance, Fang Cheng tried his best to stabilize his shaking body.

Then begin to bend your elbows and slowly lower yourself until your head lightly touches the concrete floor.

Then straighten your right arm and fully support your body as it descends upside down.

at last.

He successfully completed a one-handed handstand push-up that ordinary people would never be able to accomplish.

Fang Cheng's confidence increased greatly, and he continued to practice this movement repeatedly.

Bend your arms and elbows and put your head on the ground.

Extend your arms and straighten your elbows to support your body.

The early morning rain changed from fine drizzle to dense raindrops, crackling on the upside-down body.

The coldness continued to penetrate into the skin, as if countless small insects were biting it, making it freezing cold.

But this difficulty could not shake Fang Cheng's will and body at all.

As he continued to practice, his posture became more stable and his movements became more fluid.

I even had the leisure to look at the business district in the distance from an upside-down perspective.

The overpass with surging vehicles and the skyscrapers with dimly lit lights seemed to be all submerged in the wind and rain.

And at this moment, I am supporting the entire city with the strength of one hand.

Fang Cheng's heart was suddenly touched.

Then slowly close your eyes and feel it with your heart.

I just felt that my feet could step on the dark clouds in the sky, and it seemed that I no longer needed my right arm to support the ground.

Another gust of wind blew, as if gently lifting up the body.

There is a vague feeling of experiencing weightlessness and overcoming gravity.

Then just drift with the wind, step on the air in the rain, and stroll.

The city seemed to be slowly swallowed by the rain at this moment.

There is only one figure standing upside down with one hand, rising and falling continuously, who insists on proving the significance of his hard work.

Suddenly, the panel flashed with a dazzling light.

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

[Handstand push-up level 2 (0/500)]

[Get enhanced rewards, skill special effect "Air Walk"]

[Walking in the air allows the body and mind to fully adapt to the feeling of weightlessness, improving balance and airborne time by 100%]

There was a "click" sound.

Fang Cheng bent down and stepped forward, then stood up again with his legs firmly planted.

Looking at the enhanced rewards of this upgrade, his eyes were filled with excitement.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the rain was getting heavier.

Then he took out his coat from the shelter, put it on quickly, picked up the training equipment, and ran back downstairs.
