Chapter 186: Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill

The raindrops tapped gently on the window, making a fine and rhythmic melody.

Then, as if to complement the sound of rain, another rumbling thunder was faintly heard.

The thunder was low and deep, as if it came from behind the clouds, with a very long tail, which made the window glass tremble slightly.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that it comes from the originally quiet house.

Fang Cheng stood in the living room, silently circulating his true energy and practicing Qigong.

The nasal cavity makes a sound of breathing in and out.

The muscles, joints, and blood throughout the body vibrate in unison, continuously emitting a resonant sound.

At the same time, white smoke continued to emerge from the legs, hands, shoulders and head, rising up.

The whole person's skin is red, just like a kettle of boiling water, with steam constantly coming out, creating a spectacular sight.

The dull sound of thunder continued to echo in the house, and the air in the body was constantly inhaled and exhaled, over and over again, a cycle of metabolism.

"Hululu——"

Two streams of white smoke shot out of his nostrils like arrows, and Fang Cheng let out a long sigh.

After successfully dispersing his energy, he shook his arms and shoulders, and kicked his legs and feet a few times.

At this moment, all the sweat and rain water on my body have evaporated, and even my hair has become much drier as if it had been blown by hot air.

I just felt my body was extremely comfortable from the inside out, and every pore seemed extremely transparent.

[Qigong experience +3]

[Qigong lv1 (167/250)]

Looking at the prompt message appearing in front of him, Fang Cheng then walked to the bathroom and continued to scrub the salt and dirt discharged from his body surface.

After cleaning, pick up the hair dryer and blow dry your hair thoroughly.

Then, he threw all the clothes and pants stained with blood from last night into the washing machine.

Listening to the creaking sound of the drum turning, Fang Cheng shook his head secretly.

It seems that this New Year, the electrical appliances in my home need to be updated as soon as possible.

After walking out of the bathroom, Fang Cheng opened the kitchen refrigerator, took out a bottle of sports drink, and took a big gulp.

The cold liquid flows down the throat and into the stomach and intestines, bringing a burst of stimulation and making all the cells in the body instantly excited.

This is the official beverage designated by the national sports department.

To meet the needs of athletes, it is rich in easily absorbed carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients, and electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium are also added.

Drinking a bottle after strenuous exercise can replenish the body's lost energy in time, maintain fluid balance, and avoid muscle cramps.

Of course, its price is nearly twice as expensive as ordinary brands.

In addition to sports drinks, Fang Cheng also bought some plant protein drinks and gluten-free pure fruit juice to help quickly recover physical strength and accelerate muscle repair and growth.

In the past, conditions were limited and we could not consider things so comprehensively. We could only rely on our daily diet to supplement nutrients.

Now that I am not short of money, I naturally cannot treat myself badly when it comes to food and drink.

Considering that at least three or four bottles are consumed every day, Fang Cheng directly bought more than a dozen boxes and piled them in the warehouse so that he can enjoy them at any time.

After drinking a bottle of sports drink and a large glass of pure juice, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Cheng then looked at the panel again, focusing on the "Handstand" skill that had been promoted to the master level before.

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

Among the enhanced rewards, what surprised Fang Cheng the most was the four words "hanging time".

Because this involves the light skill that we have been thinking about all the time.

The so-called "air time" does not refer to the time interval from the moment both feet leave the ground to the moment any one foot touches the ground after taking off.

It focuses on the feeling of the body staying in the air, defying the force of gravity.

To be more precise, it refers to the time from when the shoulders rise to the highest point to when the shoulders obviously begin to fall, the period of smooth flight or stagnation in the air.

Therefore, it is not the case that the higher the strength and agility attributes, the stronger the jumping ability, and the longer the airtime will be significantly improved.

Through long-term training, Fang Cheng has already deeply realized one point.

The improvement in air time brought by enhanced physical fitness is very slight, and its upper limit and potential rely more on certain talent levels.

If the top basketball stars can stay in the air for close to 1 second.

So before today, the limit of Fang Cheng's airborne stay was about 2 seconds.

This is mainly due to the 80% improvement brought by the master-level leg-raising skill special effect "Ape Waist".

If you add the skill effect "Air Walking" that you just upgraded, the total improvement can reach 180%.

Such a huge improvement might give me a chance to break the 3-second limit...

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed and he looked up at the ceiling, which was about 2 meters high.

Determine the specific effect of the experiment.

He immediately took out his cell phone and adjusted the stopwatch function.

Then take a deep breath, squat down and raise your head, push the ground with your feet and swing your arms.

He jumped from a standing position and his body soared up like a big bird, touching the plaster ceiling very easily.

and.

Because he didn't control the strength well, his head hit it with a "bang" and almost made a hole.

After falling back to the ground.

Fang Cheng wiped the white ash off his forehead, looked at the stopwatch on his phone that he hadn't pressed in time, and shook his head and said to himself:

"Again."

Then keep calm, look up to estimate the distance, adjust your posture, and bend your knees slightly.

Then he pushed the floor with his feet a little harder and jumped on the spot just right.

This time it was obviously much more stable.

Fang Cheng stretched his limbs and leaped upwards lightly. When he was about to reach the highest point, he instantly pressed the stopwatch on his phone.

At the same time, in order to give the body that was suspended in the air another target to exert force, he kept hitting the ceiling.

Pah pah pah pah——

After tapping for more than a dozen times, Fang Cheng's palms seemed to be stuck to the plaster ceiling.

It seems to have formed an illusion.

He was actually using the ceiling as the ground and doing a one-handed handstand.

Instead of jumping from the spot, once the body is in the air, there is no support at all.

This nearly stagnant floating state seemed to last forever as the stopwatch numbers on the phone ticked rapidly.

Suddenly.

Fang Cheng finally felt the call from gravity.

Then, his heart skipped a beat and his whole body suddenly went from being light to becoming heavy again, falling straight down.

pat!

In the blink of an eye, both feet were back on the floor.

Fang Cheng immediately lowered his head to look at the phone screen.

3.07 seconds.

The stopwatch clearly showed that his airborne time had exceeded the estimated limit of 3 seconds.

That is to say, compared with the previous 2 seconds, it is about 1 second faster.

This again proves two points.

The hovering time is related to the basic attributes, but the effect is not very obvious.

Different skill effects are all improvements on basic attributes, rather than doubling them each time.

If it weren't for the two special effects of "Ape Waist" and "Air Walking", the time his body could stay in the air would be about 1.2 seconds, which is not much better than that of top stars.

From this we can see how difficult it is to improve this ability.

At least it was still a long way from truly flying in the air, performing peerless light skills like in martial arts movies. Fang Cheng concentrated his mind and carefully experienced the subtle feeling of floating in the air just now.

It seemed that in that short period of time, the work done by my body was enough to temporarily overcome the inertia of free fall.

The force acting on the human body in the air is mainly gravity, and other factors such as air resistance can be completely ignored.

Perhaps... by adjusting the position of the center of gravity, I can further extend the time I stay in the air to the limit of my physical strength.

Just like acrobats or gymnasts, in order to keep their shoulders at a relatively stable height in the air, they usually change the position of their upper and lower limbs instead of displacing their torso.

To the audience, it appears as if part of its body is suspended in mid-air, but in fact this does not violate the laws of physics.

Because people's limbs are moving, the center of gravity is moving as well. As long as the trajectory of the center of gravity conforms to the law of free fall, there is no ideological "stagnation".

After thinking for a while, Fang Cheng put down his phone, took a deep breath again, and took a few steps back.

Until he retreated to the balcony and stood still again.

Then he raised his head and looked at the ceiling in the living room near the entrance.

This time, he decided not to choose the high jump and touch the top of the head method, but to use a front flip action similar to judo.

Fang Cheng stood with his back against the balcony, his eyes slightly fixed, and took two small steps forward.

Then he stepped on the floor with his right foot and raised his arms like a gymnast, using inertia to leap forward and upward.

However, the height of the jump is somewhat beyond the limits of ordinary people's cognition.

The whole person is like a carp leaping high out of the water, drawing a graceful arc that continues upward in the air.

When his shoulders were about to touch the ceiling, Fang Cheng quickly lowered his head and put his hands on his chest.

At the same time, bend your knees, bring them together as much as possible, and curl up your body.

This somersault lasted about 1 second and stayed in the air for nearly 1 second.

Fang Cheng felt the change in his center of gravity with his waist and abdomen as the center. While the inertia of his leap forward had not completely disappeared, he quickly stretched out his limbs and pressed his back completely against the ceiling.

At this time, all the strength of the whole body has been condensed into an integrated force and gathered in the waist and abdomen.

This generates a special force that is enough to overcome gravity, pushing the body up into the air while continuing to move forward along the parabolic trajectory of inertia.

During this process, Fang Cheng used the strength of his waist and abdomen to continuously make tiny movements to adjust his center of gravity.

Then, it slid slowly on the ceiling like a gecko.

Until I slid to the point near the entrance, I felt my body becoming heavy and shaky.

Fang Cheng immediately took a deep breath.

When he was at the end of his strength, he suddenly twisted his waist and abdomen and continued to rush forward for a distance.

Then, he lowered his head, hunched his chest, and curled up his body with his legs.

The whole person then seemed to have pressed the slow-motion button, slowing down the descent again.

pat!

Fang Cheng rolled twice, turned in the air, and suddenly stretched out his hands to grab the upper edge of the wardrobe near the entrance.

Just like an extremely agile monkey moving and turning on the cliff, it landed lightly and silently on the ground.

"call--"

After completing a wonderful "acrobatic performance", Fang Cheng let out a breath, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

This time, the time spent in the air during the entire jump lasted at least about 5 seconds.

Although it is still not possible to achieve super powers like flying in the air, at least the martial arts version of "Gecko Wall Climbing" has been preliminarily achieved.

It is also a very good result.

If you want to further enhance your ability in this area, in addition to continuing to improve your strength and agility attributes, the most important thing is to extend your hovering time as much as possible.

Maybe... you can choose to learn more skills like leg raises, handstand push-ups, and judo, which require the body to be suspended in the air and emphasize balance.

Then, you can continuously stack skill effects or synthesize a new light skill.

Eventually, you will completely overcome gravity and become as light as a swallow and able to fly into the sky.

Fang Cheng was daydreaming and moving his neck, hands and feet.

Turning to look at myself in the dressing mirror, I still looked like a muscular man.

Although I am very satisfied with the enhanced rewards of this upgrade, there are still some regrets in my heart.

It would be even better if I could gain a few more agility attribute points to restore my body to its normal, gentle state.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly and he summoned the panel again.

Take a close look at a few of the skills that have relatively high progress bars.

[Speed Reading Level 1 (203/250)]

[Cooking skill level 1 (119/250)]

[Boxing lv2 (205/500)]

[Sanda lv2 (267/500)]

[Tai Chi level 0 (68/100)]

【Muay Thai level 1 (159/250)】

These skills are not too far from being upgraded, it may take ten days at the fastest or more than a month at the slowest.

Judging from the efficiency of practice, perhaps only Tai Chi can achieve a breakthrough and upgrade in the shortest time.

Fang Cheng placed his hopes on the next enhancement reward.

He immediately collected his thoughts and put on his coat.

Then he took out a chicken breast sandwich from the supermarket from the refrigerator.

Just eat a few bites first to fill your hunger.

Then, without delay, start cooking a hearty, nutritious breakfast rich in high protein and trace elements.

You should know that about 30 minutes after exercise, the body's absorption efficiency of nutrients is highest, which is the best time to consume food and replenish energy.

Fang Cheng didn't read so many medical books from the library in vain.

In the kitchen, the gas stove was emitting blue flames.

Fang Cheng held the pots and pans in his hands, making the clanking sounds, and began a new round of busy work.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

Boom, boom.

It sounded like someone was knocking gently on the door.

Hearing the sound, Fang Cheng immediately put down the kitchen knife he was about to use to cut meat and walked towards the entrance.

squeak-

When the door opened, a familiar and pretty face was revealed.

Zhou Xiumei was wearing a white sweater and an apron tied around her chest. She seemed to be busy in the kitchen as she hurried over.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.

"Brother Cheng, I didn't see you when I got up this morning. Where did you go?"

Zhou Xiumei blinked her eyes and asked with her cheeks slightly flushed.

It was obvious that she had come here and knocked on the door several times before.

Fang Cheng pretended to be calm and answered:
"I have the habit of getting up early to exercise, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid of disturbing you."

Zhou Xiumei did not continue to talk about this issue.

Then he pursed his lips slightly, as if to muster up some strength, and raised his voice a little:
"I just made breakfast, how about eating some together?"

As he said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Fang Cheng nervously.

Seeing her face full of anticipation, Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said yes.

Zhou Xiumei's eyes widened when she heard this, and she immediately ran home happily:

"There's soup cooking in the kitchen. It should be ready soon. I'll go get you a bowl now."
