Chapter 216 Holiday, Breaking the Limit Again

Winter morning.

The light in the room seemed to be frozen by the cold night, dim and filled with a thick silence.

Fang Cheng slowly woke up from his bed.

My consciousness gradually became clearer in the warm bed, as if I was passing through a hazy dream and returning to reality.

Then he rubbed his sleepy eyes, raised his wrist, and subconsciously looked at the time.

In the darkness, a circle of fluorescent light lit up faintly. It was the sports watch that Zhou Xiumei gave to him.

On the dial, time, date and weather information are arranged in order.

February 2, the fifth day of the first lunar month, Tuesday, 11:5, cloudy, air quality index 49, excellent.

Messages appeared before my eyes, like a panel, silently conveying the situation outside.

This watch has a stylish and simple design, but it has many functions.

It not only has the basic configuration of information display, satellite positioning, and alarm timing, but can also accurately calculate movement distance and speed.

It is also durable, waterproof and drop-proof, and can run steadily for half a month on a single charge.

Whether in daily life or outdoor sports, it is like a reliable partner.

Fang Cheng couldn't let go of the blue crystal glass of the watch, and couldn't help but think of that considerate figure in his mind.

Perhaps because she saw that she had the habit of morning exercises, Zhou Xiumei carefully selected this gift that was most suitable for her.

After lying in bed and thinking about random things for a while, Fang Cheng lifted the fluffy and soft duvet, got up from the bed and put on his slippers.

The surroundings were spacious, and the outlines of various furniture were vaguely discernible in the dim light.

There was a slight chill in the air and the heating was not turned on in the house.

However, Fang Cheng's body had already adapted to the situation and he was not used to the overly hot environment.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, held the curtain with both hands, and pulled it gently. With a "swish" sound, the curtain slowly slid open to both sides.

In an instant, the outdoor scenery came into view like a slowly unfolding painting.
It was still dark at this moment, and the whole world had not yet fully awakened from its sleep.

The mountains in the distance were dim in the dim light, like a giant beast lurking in the earth.

The outline is gently outlined by the mist, blending with the night, inseparable and exuding a sense of mystery.

The lake below is as calm as a mirror, like a huge piece of black jade, quietly embedded between heaven and earth.

A light mist was rising above the lake, swirling around and around, seeming to cover the water.

It seems to be covered with a veil as thin as a cicada's wing, which makes people fanciful, shy and timid.

This is a resort hotel located in Wanghu Town, Xiguan District.

Surrounding it is Yulong Lake, a well-known scenic tourist destination in Xia State.

During the Chinese New Year period, Fang Cheng stayed at home and visited relatives and friends.

Of course, I don’t have many relatives and friends in Dongdu City.

The main thing was to visit my aunt's house to wish her a happy new year, and after Ma Dong Hyuk came to visit her at his home, I also went to his home to return a gift.

On ordinary days, I would push my grandfather out to take a walk around the Old Factory Street and bask in the sun.

Yesterday was the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the whole family planned to go on a family trip to relax.

This Yuehu Hotel has an excellent location, surrounded by mountains and water, and the environment is particularly quiet.

It is not far from Xishan and is also close to Ren'an Hospital. It can be reached in just over ten minutes by taxi.

The reason why my uncle chose to come here for vacation was mainly because he was considering my grandfather's future recuperation and retirement in Dongdu, and he investigated the location for buying a house in advance.

Although my grandfather couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to return to his hometown in the countryside.

But all of his children and grandchildren work in the city, so if they did that, they obviously wouldn't be able to take care of him fully.

More importantly, after a successful gastric cancer surgery, you cannot rest easy, as there is still a risk of recurrence after surgery.

According to the doctor, the surgery only removes the tumor lesions visible to the naked eye, and some tiny metastatic lesions are difficult to detect using existing examination methods.

Only through appropriate auxiliary chemotherapy can the residual cancer cells be completely killed, the growth and spread of tumors be controlled, and the risk of postoperative recurrence and metastasis be reduced.

Therefore, during the first year after surgery, you must go to the hospital once a month for intravenous drug treatment.

In the second year, the frequency can be reduced to once a quarter. If there are no problems in the third year's examination, the treatment is considered complete and the patient is fully recovered.

Therefore, my grandfather’s wish is obviously not very realistic. It is better for him to stay in Dongdu to avoid running back and forth and increasing fatigue.

As for renting a house on Jiuchang Street.

The environment there is a bit dirty and messy, not suitable for retirement.

Besides, the rooms in Fang Cheng’s house are not spacious enough.

During the New Year holidays, my uncle and I slept on the floor in the living room, and my grandfather slept in my bedroom.

After coming here to travel, my uncle saw that the environment and service of this hotel were very good, so he decided to book a room and stay there for a long time.

But my mother dissuaded me in time.

You should know that an ordinary hotel room costs at least 2000 yuan a night. Even if there is a % discount, the annual expenditure will be more than yuan.

No matter how much money you have, you can't afford to go through this.

Fang Cheng also agreed with this.

It would be better to find a suitable house nearby to rent, or purchase it in full and solve the problem once and for all.

Although there were many things on his mind, Fang Cheng felt peaceful and relaxed.

At this moment, everything is quiet. Looking at the looming mountains and the misty water, you feel like you are living by the lake and sleeping with the mountains and water.

Speaking of which, the environment here is indeed quiet and pleasant, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After a day of sightseeing and rest, both body and mind are greatly relaxed.

Perhaps, my grandfather can live out his old age here in peace and enjoy a rare pastoral life in the city.

Feeling the tranquility, Fang Cheng slowly stretched out his arms and began to stretch his muscles.

I haven't had proper exercise for many days. I feel like I have no energy to use and my body is a little itchy.

"Let's go out and do some morning exercises."

Fang Cheng whispered to himself, unable to resist the surge of an impulse in his heart.

In this picturesque environment, there is a strong desire to torture the body and sweat.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Fang Cheng simply washed up, took out the prepared light sportswear from the closet, and put it on neatly.

He raised his wrist and looked at the sports watch Zhou Xiumei gave him.

The time displayed on the fluorescent screen is 6:03.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, everything was ready, and he took steady steps, pushed the door and walked out of the room.

The lights in the corridor were dim and there was silence.

The doors of the two adjacent rooms were still tightly closed, and no sound could be heard.

My grandpa, uncle, and mom should all still be fast asleep, so I walked lightly and quickly towards the elevator.

I didn't meet many staff members along the way, and the whole hotel seemed to be still immersed in the darkness before dawn.

As you walk out of the revolving glass door, a breeze of fresh air with a hint of coolness immediately hits you in the face.

Take a deep breath and feel the coolness penetrate your heart.

It was as if a pair of gentle hands gently wiped away the laziness and tiredness left in the body.

Fang Cheng suddenly became energetic and looked intently at the Yulong Lake not far away, which was half-hidden in the morning mist.

Today’s morning exercise plan officially begins!
He first jogged around the deserted lake for a while, then came to a low, continuous hill. Yesterday, when he was out for fun, he passed by this place and found a small park hidden in the woods.

There are some simple fitness facilities inside, including horizontal bars, parallel bars, rowing machines, etc., so I paid special attention to them.

We continued along the winding path, the stone pavement under our feet was a little slippery.

That was the water droplets condensed from the night fog that had not yet completely dissipated.

The flowers and plants on the roadside are slightly withered, but there are still many cold-resistant green plants standing tenaciously, with some frost hanging on the leaves.

After a while, I arrived at the training ground in my memory.

Fang Cheng's eyes slowly swept around.

Within the field of vision, apart from the dark facilities and the outline of the pavilion, it is difficult to find any other figures.

Lush trees and light mist surround this small park.

The occasional chirping of insects and birds further highlights the tranquility of this place.

Then, Fang Cheng turned his attention to the well-arranged fitness facilities.

In the dim environment, the smoothly polished horizontal bar glowed with a cold light, as if quietly waiting for someone to challenge it.

Fang Cheng felt a little warm in his heart, and immediately took off his clothes and hung on the horizontal bar.

Then they walked to a field covered with fallen leaves, first practicing air strikes and performing a set of Tai Chi.

Each move and posture, when performed, may seem slow, but in fact it contains the power of both hardness and softness.

The fallen leaves under my feet made a slight rustling sound as I moved, and floated up gently with the dancing fist wind.

The mist that filled the air all around also slowly drifted over, wisps and strands, brushing against the skin, bringing an unusually cool feeling.

As you breathe in, it seeps into your lungs, and you suddenly feel relaxed and clear-minded.

The body and mind are further relaxed in this extremely soothing exercise.

Performing a full set of boxing is equivalent to completing a warm-up exercise.

Fang Cheng then walked to the horizontal bar not far away, gripped the bar with both hands, jumped up slightly, and began physical training.

I haven't exercised for many days, and my body feels like a rusty machine. After a set of movements, it makes a creaking sound.

However, with each standard movement completed, you can truly feel the muscles going from tense to stretching, and the pleasure of power being released.

Soon, the rusty bones and muscles seemed to be injected with lubricant and began to move smoothly.

Complete a set of about 100 one-handed pull-ups.

Then, Fang Cheng continued to practice single-leg squats, six-finger push-ups, one-handed hanging leg raises, one-handed handstand push-ups and iron bridges.

The figure kept changing postures in this clearing in the woods, and every movement was done meticulously, steadily and powerfully.

The expected training volume today is not large, and there is no deliberate pursuit of high load. The main purpose is to achieve recovery.

Before we knew it, the sky in the east was turning pale and the dawn was quietly breaking.

The golden light is like a flexible silk thread, passing through the misty lake, refracting sparkling waves, just like tiny pieces of gold scattered on it.

Then, it passed through the layers of barrier-like leaves, filtering out golden spots of light in the open spaces between the trees.

The muscular figure constantly rises and falls and leaps in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Like a skilled dancer, displaying breathtaking techniques.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Fang Cheng's forehead, sparkling and glittering in the morning light.

At this time, footsteps began to be heard faintly around.

People who got up early to exercise came running along the nearby path.

Some of them were wearing sportswear and walking briskly, while others were wearing headphones and immersed in their own rhythm, adding a bit of liveliness to this originally quiet morning.

But Fang Cheng was not disturbed and stopped.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in training, enjoying the pleasure of sweating, and his mind seemed to be integrated with the mountains and rivers and the quiet environment of this winter morning.

The body is also quietly changing, becoming more coordinated and lighter.

It's like blending with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, absorbing the power of nature, and moving towards a stronger self.

At the same time, a powerful force hidden in the body began to be activated and awakened.

As the blood circulates faster, it rushes to every part of the body like a river, surging through the limbs and bones.

Suddenly, this force suddenly tightened from the outside to the inside, like a hydraulic press compressing the whole person to the extreme.

An intense pain instantly spread throughout my body.

Fang Cheng couldn't help but stop the push-ups he was doing and almost fell to the ground due to muscle spasms.

The pain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

After a series of crackling sounds from the joints, the boiling blood in the body quickly calmed down.

Fang Cheng knelt on his knees and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is this going……"

Fang Cheng's extremely enjoyable training state was interrupted, and he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little confused.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before my eyes.

A prompt message suddenly appeared on the light blue panel.

[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your agility attribute has successfully exceeded the 40-point limit]

Fang Cheng supported himself with his hands and stood up from his kneeling position.

My eyes were full of surprise and astonishment. I didn't expect that this ordinary restorative morning exercise would bring such unexpected benefits.

You know, before the Chinese New Year, the agility attribute progress bar only reached 93%.

As I had neglected exercise for many consecutive days, I thought that I would need at least a week of normal training to successfully achieve a breakthrough and pass the difficult 40-point mark.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng immediately turned his attention to the attribute interface to check the specific growth progress of each attribute.

Strength 33%, Agility 1%, Constitution 50%, Spirit 42%.

After this morning exercise, the four basic attributes of the body have been significantly improved.

Looking around at the quiet scenery, Fang Cheng pondered to himself.

Perhaps it is due to the unique environment here. The high concentration of negative ions in the air is like a natural energy engine, which can not only nourish physical and mental health, but also greatly improve the efficiency of exercise.

However, the more crucial factor should be that one once again touches that transcendent state where the body and mind are integrated into the mountains and rivers, and where man and nature are one.

Fang Cheng focused his mind slightly, silently experiencing the changes.

The original feeling of heaviness and stagnation seemed to have completely disappeared.

The muscles and bones of the entire body seem to fit perfectly, without any excess or redundancy, achieving a state of extreme coordination and fluency.

Then he raised his arm, looked at it, and then looked down at the muscles all over his body.

The lines of the biceps become deeper and deeper, as if carved by a knife or an axe. Every muscle fiber is tightly arranged, containing explosive power visible to the naked eye.

The chest and abdominal muscles have changed from broad and blocky to lean and well-shaped, like rolling hills. Although they have lost some of the exaggerated bulges, they have become more agile and flexible like a cheetah.

The thigh muscles also lost their clumsy stone-pillar look and became tight and smooth, like forged steel springs, containing amazing power and ready to eject at any time.

Feeling this seemingly brand new body, Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly thought of a very important question.

In the past, when I punched, I tried to make my fist produce a sonic boom effect.

Since the physical strength is not enough, it can only exist in fantasy.

Now his physique, strength, and agility have all exceeded the limit of 40 points.

So, is it possible to actually exceed the speed of sound?
