Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1532 - 736: Extreme Training in the Ten-Thousand-Meter Abyss (Part 2)

For ordinary people, no, even for high-level superpower users, stepping into such a super abyssal zone is equivalent to suicide.

But Fang Cheng has confidence.

Half a year ago, he only had more than 30 points in constitution. Now, this attribute has soared to an astonishing 95 points, making him a monster among monsters.

When he previously dove from the surface into the seabed ruins under the water pressure, Fang Cheng felt the strain; his muscles were greatly taxed, but he was far from reaching the point of completely exhausting his physical abilities.

Training means walking the edge of the limits, breaking out of the comfort zone. Only then can the gains be substantial.

Thinking of this, he strode towards the translucent blue light wall.

Then he stopped, stretched out his right hand, and slowly pressed it against the surface.

His fingertips penetrated the light curtain.

There was no burning, no freezing, and none of the rebound resistance one would expect from an array repelling him.

This light shield seemed to target only objects and seawater, imposing no restrictions on living beings entering or exiting.

Fang Cheng withdrew his hand and unhesitatingly took off his blue tracksuit.

Then he untied the drawstring, took off the sports shorts, and was left with only a pair of red boxer briefs.

He took a deep breath, invigorated his True Qi within, and stepped forward.

The entire person passed straight through the light shield, entering the abyss outside.

Boom!

The moment he passed through the blue light shield, extremely cold and heavy water wrapped around his entire body.

The surrounding environment was at its darkest, with strong currents scraping against his skin like countless dull knives.

What followed was incredibly intense pressure.

Ten thousand meters deep, this meant every square centimeter of his skin had to withstand a full ton of pressure.

Even a submarine could not traverse through layers of seawater and reach this place unharmed.

Fang Cheng’s brows furrowed instantly, and his whole body’s muscles instinctively tensed like iron, emitting a slight humming vibration.

Even his internal organs began to vibrate in meditation, sounding like the thunder of summer heard from a distant sea, roaring.

At this level of pressure, the most lethal damage is not actually the squeezing of muscles and bones.

It’s important to know that the reason ordinary deep-sea diving vessels get crushed is mainly due to substandard internal structures, oversized hull dimensions, and external shell material being unable to withstand the enormous internal and external pressure differences, leading to rupture.

The human body is no different.

The extraordinary physique of 95 points makes Fang Cheng’s muscle fibers and bone density as tough as steel, barely able to withstand external squeezing forces.

But his internal blood circulation system, pulmonary cavities, and other internal organs cannot quickly balance with nearly a thousand atmospheres of external pressure.

After all, his body is not solid.

The frightening pressure difference was now trying to crush his internal organs completely.

Fang Cheng estimated that relying solely on his body to endure such internal and external pressure, he could only hold out for a few seconds before irreversible damage to the organs occurred.

He did not pretend to hold out forcefully; True Qi erupted from the Dantian in an instant.

"Mixed Element True Domain!"

A golden air shield suddenly expanded, forcibly displacing the heavy seawater by half a foot.

The oppressive feeling inside his organs vanished, and Fang Cheng exhaled a stream of fine bubbles, feeling his entire body relax.

His eyes flashed slightly, controlling the domain’s outward expansion with a thought, gradually retracting inward.

The golden aura gradually approached the skin, finally contracting to an extremely thin, faint layer of light, fitting seamlessly over the body surface.

From a distance, it seemed as if his skin was naturally pure gold.

"Just right."

Fang Cheng looked down at his arms and flexed his muscles.

This layer of barely-there light membrane no longer functions mainly to resist external water pressure but instead acts like a protective suit of internal circulation, cleverly leveling the pressure differences acting on the internal organs and blood vessels.

This way, the terrifying deep-sea pressure can be retained as much as possible, honing every inch of his muscles and bones.

At the same time, it prevents injury to the relatively fragile internal organs, ensuring normal blood transportation and circulation.

Now we can say that everything is ready.

Fang Cheng held his breath and concentrated, then bent his body in the seawater.

His palms pressed onto the cold, rough seabed rock bed, his legs straightened backward, posing in a standard push-ups stance.

The only difference from usual is that now he is at the bottom of a ten-thousand-meter-deep trench, enduring unimaginable pressure.

Just maintaining this initial posture, the muscle groups in his arms and the backs of his shoulders were already raised high, distinct and defined, like granite infused with explosive power.

"Begin."

Fang Cheng issued a low command and then officially started physical training, his arms bending and descending.

Billions of tons of seawater hovered over him like an overwhelmingly heavy dark cloud.

The majestic pressure pressed down along his spine, and Fang Cheng felt as if he had a massive iron mountain on his back.

His triceps and pectorals contracted violently, and the golden light on his skin flickered with the rhythm of his muscles.

"Hah!"

Fang Cheng let out a breath and voice, exerting force to push his body up.

As his arms slowly and resolutely straightened, the stagnant seawater was forcefully pushed aside, causing a subtle water current shockwave.

"One."

Fang Cheng silently counted in his heart, his movements steady, not rushed or sluggish.

In such a harsh environment, every rise and fall of his body resulted in his muscles working far beyond normal loads.

"Fifty."

"..."

"Ninety."

"..."

"Ninety-nine."

"One hundred!"

After finally completing his hundredth extreme push-up, Fang Cheng’s whole body boiled with vitality like fire.

The heat emitted from his body even caused the surrounding cold seawater to show slight distortions.

His arms pushed hard, propelling him to stand upright.

A message floated into view timely.

[You have gained +20 push-ups experience training in the ten-thousand-meter abyss]

Seeing this, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but smile with joy.

This efficiency is simply against the norm.

If it were on land, with his current physical ability, he could complete ten thousand standard push-ups without breaking a sweat.

Regarding the panel system, it might not even award 10 experience points.

Fang Cheng panted slightly, looking around.

The abyss remained eerily quiet, the undercurrent flowing silently, like a dormant tomb.

Using his extended perception, he sensed about fifty meters to his left, there was an upward protruding rocky reef.

The edge was sharp and long, just right for gripping practice.

Without hesitation, Fang Cheng bent his legs and forcefully kicked off the seabed.

The powerful burst of force parted the viscous water, and his body shot forward like a fish, swimming towards the rock wall under great pressure.

The process of swimming was extremely challenging, requiring hundreds of times more effort than on land with every stroke, but he stayed focused and soon reached his destination.

Then he gripped the edge of the rock wall firmly with his hands, his body hanging amidst the dark, raging water.

His latissimus dorsi muscles tightened instantly, his arms exerted sudden force, pulling the heavy body upward inch by inch.

The wide back muscles undulated deeply with each movement, then swelled again, filled with a beauty of power beyond words.

Thus, in this unknown ten-thousand-meter abyss,

Fang Cheng, in an almost masochistic manner, frantically squeezed every ounce of potential from his flesh.

Transforming the pressure from the deep sea into fuel for furthering physical evolution.

[You have gained +1 pull-up experience training in the ten-thousand-meter abyss]

[You have gained +1 pull-up experience training in the ten-thousand-meter abyss]

...

Meanwhile,

On Yong’an Island above the sea, a new day was dawning.

A red sunrise leapt from the horizon, spreading brilliant dawn light across the shimmering sea surface.

The morning breeze swept over the banana groves, bringing a salty moist scent.

The tide tirelessly crashed against the black coast, splashing white waves.

On the docks, the roar of engines echoed one after another.

Several early-rising fishing boats cut through the calm sea, setting out from the port to start a new day’s work.

The island’s residents also emerged from their homes, and lazy kitchen smoke gradually rose from the streets.

With the sunrise beginning, everything appeared full of vitality, calm and peaceful.

But no one knew that right beneath them,

At the bottom of the ten-thousand-meter-deep Changyuan Trench, unreachable even by sunlight,

A bare-bodied man was challenging the limits of life repeatedly in a situation that could crush even steel pipes.
