Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1062 - 526

Several brand-new notification messages gradually appeared before his eyes.

Finally, it froze on that heart-pounding number.

"Just experiencing one instance of high-altitude flight has such a good effect?"

Fang Cheng’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the panel, whispering to himself.

Roughly calculating in his mind.

The hang time in extreme static conditions increased by a whole 1 second.

Adding to the original record of 7.98 seconds mastered, the extreme static hang time had surprisingly reached 8.98 seconds.

If the percentage increase brought by the Skill Effects of "Ape Waist" and "Air Walking" is deducted, converting into the original base value.

It’s equivalent to an increase of about 0.35 seconds in base hang time.

This time, gliding down from a thousand meters high has yielded such tremendous gains, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

It should be known, in the past whether relying on skill upgrades from fitness or Agility Attributes breaking human limits, the panel’s reward for hang time each time could be said to be minuscule.

At the least 0.1 seconds, at most a few tenths of a second.

Every small step of improvement requires countless sweat and lengthy time to polish.

If according to previous thoughts, merely relying on daily exercise, endlessly accumulating hang time, with the intention to achieve flesh-and-blood flight, it would likely require a vast amount of time.

Because hang time is related to Agility Attributes, but not entirely equivalent.

Agility represents muscle control degree, flexibility, and balance, enabling faster running, higher jumping, and performing various difficult movements on the ground.

Whereas hang ability, even flight, essentially battles against the most fundamental physical law of this planet—gravity.

Human bone density, muscle structure, even fluid mechanics characteristics, are innately designed for walking on land.

Wanting to escape the affectionate embrace of Mother Earth’s gravity, relying on the physical body to leverage the thin air, in itself is a counter-heaven evolutionary paradox.

It requires not only perfect control over the body but also a near instinctual perception of airflow.

It’s in weightlessness, capturing the rhythm of the wind precisely through the skin, instantly adjusting every small angle of each muscle.

Finally achieving the conversion of originally intangible air into a tangible entity to leverage force.

This subtle physical sensation is forever unable to be simulated in ground training.

For humans wanting to master this ability, using the phrase "as hard as ascending to heaven" to describe is most apt.

Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly, gaining some insight.

It seems that any skill’s polishing can’t just rely on stubborn practice.

It must be put into cruel actual combat, to be used and verified in the most realistic environment, only then can one acquire the most practical insights and experiences.

Although previously Fang Cheng had attempted many jumps from mountain tops and high buildings, utilizing aerodynamics for gliding.

But those attempts were strictly controlled within limits that his ability could endure.

Height controllable, airflow stable, and the gliding distance was only one or two hundred meters.

Even if something went wrong midway, any mistake, at most, would result in some bruises, not risking his life.

However, that jump just now, was entirely different.

It was a consequence of Fang Cheng’s fierce combat with the Ghost Scythe, not any deliberate drill.

In such a punch-for-punch scenario, adrenaline surged, with the sole thought of how to kill the opponent, unable to consider too many external conditions.

Until ascending to a thousand meters altitude’s extreme, placed amidst the violent center of explosive shockwaves.

To stay alive, his senses and potential were pushed to the limits by survival instinct.

Not only did he have to extract every bit of muscle power to resist gravity, but also instantly decipher the chaotic airflow direction, forcibly assimilating himself into the wind.

Even a slightest mistake amid this process, now, even if not becoming a mere lump of meat, would have led to total body compound fractures.

As the panel notification said, this was "a life-and-death trial challenging the sky’s limits".

Just like a sailor rowing a small wooden boat in a pond, no matter how skilled, can never truly understand what real sea navigation means.

Only amid the vast ocean, thrown atop waves in the fierce storm, facing the abyss’s fear.

Only then does the body’s instinct truly awaken, learning how to ride the winds and waves, challenging and overcoming nature’s rules.

Theory, no matter how perfect, if not subjected to life-and-death tempering, remains merely paper talk.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to the bottom of the skill panel.

Just below [Potential Activation], the previously indistinct, seemingly dust-covered box.

Now radiating a strange subtle glow, appearing quite different from usual.

[Hidden Skill (Soon to be unlocked)]

This mysterious skill panel was the easter egg accidentally triggered when the "Lifting Leg" skill was promoted to Grandmaster Level.

At that time, the notification was vague, merely stating that when the hang time in static state exceeded 9 seconds, perhaps an unexpected ability would be unlocked.

Looking over now, the edges of that gray box were rhythmically throbbing.

Like a heart in gestation, ready to break through that layer of restriction, unlocking the unbreakable seal.

Fang Cheng carefully read the inconspicuous small text annotation behind the skill panel:

[This skill belongs to a hidden skill. The preconditions must be met to activate it.]

[Remaining required hang time: 0.02 seconds]

"0.02 seconds..."

Fang Cheng’s lips twitched slightly.
