Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1541 - 741
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
The deep sea, vast and dark.
The inverted blue canopy is like a giant ocean bowl, forcing the heavy seawater open to protect the ancient city ruins at the bottom.
In the center of the ruins, rugged stone pillars and collapsed halls surround a giant underwater volcano.
Inside the volcano’s mouth, a column of azure light pierces the abyss, shooting straight to the sky.
In this magnificent and spectacular underwater extremity, a young man sits cross-legged on the edge of the volcano’s mouth, eyes closed in meditation.
High-temperature hydrothermal liquid gushes out through rock crevices, turning into scorching white steam that rises and swirls around.
The young man is bare-chested, his muscles rhythmically rising and falling with his breath.
Behind him, in the immense spatial vortex, the azure light column that penetrates the abyss operates at a constant frequency.
Occasionally, tendrils of lightning-shaped energy peel away from the surface of the light column, wandering through the mist, attempting to touch the man’s body.
Yet they are completely blocked half a meter away by an invisible Qi Field.
"Whew—"
Fang Cheng slowly opens his eyes and gently exhales a breath of scorching turbid air as his chest rises and falls.
At the same time, a pale blue screen appears before him, with several notification messages flashing by.
[You maintained meditation in the deep sea extremity, overcoming the interference of extreme confinement and spatial fluctuations, Spirit +0.006]
[You maintained meditation in the deep sea extremity, overcoming the interference of extreme confinement and spatial fluctuations, Visualization Experience +8]
[Visualization Level 3 (573/1000)]
Not bad.
Fang Cheng looked at the numbers flashing on the panel and nodded slightly.
The progress bar for the Visualization Skill has already passed halfway; advancing to the King-level does not seem too far off.
Calculating based on the current rate of advancement, by persisting resolutely every day, a breakthrough in quality could be achieved in two or three months at most.
However, compared to when he first meditated here a week ago, both the increase in Skill Experience and Basic Attributes have visibly slowed.
This isn’t hitting a bottleneck; rather, the body and mind are gradually adapting to the stimulation mechanism of the underwater extremity.
In recent days, apart from handling the day-to-day affairs of the sanatorium and the Illuminati in a routine manner, Fang Cheng has been devoting most of his energy to personal cultivation.
Every day, waking at precisely four in the morning, using the "Silver Key" to traverse the space coordinates over a thousand kilometers, directly arriving at the ruins of this ancient city at the bottom of the Changyuan Trench.
The more than three-hour morning training plan is arranged to be extremely tight and rigorous.
First, leave the canopy’s protection and complete the specialized physical training of the "Prisoner’s Six Arts" under the heavy pressure of the abyss.
After the muscle fibers are torn and physical fitness is squeezed to its limit, retreat into the canopy and sit cross-legged near the volcano’s mouth for visualization.
Use the state of meditation to relax the mind, while calming the fatigued body after intense exertion.
Having such an isolated exclusive training ground, where even physical common sense is overturned, is an unimaginable blessing for anyone pursuing the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Fang Cheng stood up and stretched his limbs.
Accompanied by the upright motion of his spine, his entire skeletal structure emitted a series of crisp sounds like firecrackers.
He stretched his arms leisurely, his gaze sweeping around.
The kilometers-wide underwater city, with its flat squares and towering stone pillars, resembles an ultra-large gladiatorial arena crafted just for him.
The inverted blue canopy serves as the dome of this training hall.
Fang Cheng followed the soaring blue light column, looking up.
Outside the canopy, millions of tons of pitch-black seawater press down layer upon layer like thunderclouds, depriving it of all light and vitality.
Looking at the insoluble heavy darkness, a thought suddenly formed in Fang Cheng’s mind.
Since meditating within the canopy results in efficiency decline due to getting accustomed to a relatively comfortable environment,
then how about directly crossing the barrier and meditating submerged in the deep sea?
Fang Cheng recalled his solo journey to Yong’an Island more than six months ago,
At the time, seeking a breakthrough in strength, he dived into a hundred-meter deep trench wall, attempting to use the Magic Technique "Stealing Heavenly Secrets" to find a turning point in extremity.
That attempt not only smoothly advanced the Meditation Skill but also unexpectedly unlocked the exclusive skill Qigong.
Back then, limited by physical strength, diving a little over a hundred meters was the maximum; any whirlpool could easily sweep him away.
But now, the three Body Attributes—Constitution, Strength, Agility—have already fully broken through the human limit of 80 points.
This body of his, honed to perfection, has a resistance capacity even beyond military submarines made with special alloys.
If he can conduct high-intensity physical training actions at the deep seabed, simply sitting cross-legged should not be an issue.
The only concern lies in the mental aspect.
To completely empty the consciousness and enter a profound state of meditation under the pressure capable of instantly crushing a battle tank.
This is undoubtedly the ultimate test of willpower.
Fang Cheng shook his head, dispelling that sliver of consideration in his heart.
Having reached this realm, to continue climbing higher and progress faster, he must personally shatter the so-called "comfort zone."
In rowing upstream, without advancing, one retreats. The more one approaches extremity beyond the reach of ordinary people, the more abundant the attainable nourishment becomes.
With his mind set, Fang Cheng did not hesitate for even half a second.
His knees slightly bent, and his foot suddenly pushed off the hard volcanic rock.
Bang!
The powerful explosive force left a web of cracks on the ground beneath, fragments splattering.
Fang Cheng shot up like a torpedo firing out of a chamber, following the azure light column straight towards the top.
