Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1544 - 742

The lead-gray clouds pressed down on Yong’an Island.

The fierce wind swept in the torrential rain, whipping the endless coastline like a long whip, bending the tall coconut trees.

At the port, several fishing boats tossed violently amidst the towering waves, the ropes making a sharp friction sound against the rust-covered mooring posts.

The streets of the town were deserted, cars stopped in the accumulated water, and pedestrians had locked their doors and windows early to avoid the menacing all-night downpour.

In the storm, the headquarters of the True Thought Society resembled an isolated reef, standing majestically halfway up the mountain.

In the top-floor office, Zheng Hongxin stood silently before the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands behind his back.

The dense rainwater cascaded down the glass surface, blurring the outlines of the outside world.

His previously murky eyes were now unusually bright, his gaze penetrating the heavy rain curtain, directly towards the distant extending Cape.

The tumultuous waves raged over the storm-shrouded Changyuan Trench.

The originally somber water body had become even more unfathomable under the storm’s churn, like an overturned basin of ink.

Zheng Hongxin’s eyes flickered, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

An indescribable feeling surged through his heart.

It was as if, at this very moment, some cataclysmic event was unfolding within that dark abyss, beyond his knowledge.

Ring ring ring—

The desk phone abruptly rang, interrupting the tranquil atmosphere of the room.

Zheng Hongxin turned around, striding forward, and picked up the receiver.

"Hello, Jiandong, what’s the matter?"

"Teacher, you must come to the altar side quickly!"

On the other end, Chen Jiandong’s voice was evidently hurried, mingled with unmistakable astonishment:

"The Truth Stele is having a major situation, it... it seems to have revealed something incredible!"

Zheng Hongxin’s heart trembled; without a word, he immediately hung up the phone.

He then grabbed the cane leaning against the desk and quickly exited the office door.

..................

At the bottom of the ten-thousand-meter-deep Changyuan Trench.

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged with eyes closed, suspended in the heavy and dark sea water.

The Pure Yang True Qi exuding from his body erupted like oil over fire, with the golden radiance becoming increasingly magnificent.

The piercing light was like tangible sharp arrows, forcefully dispelling the perpetual darkness around, prying open a Light Domain in this life-forbidden zone.

The extreme high temperature and the icy sea water collided violently, causing the surrounding water body to approach a near-boiling state.

But in this nearly one-thousand-atmosphere ten-thousand-meter abyss, the boiling water could not form ordinary steam bubbles.

Amidst the torrent surges, the clash of extreme heat and cold tore apart vast patches of light distortions like liquid glass beside Fang Cheng.

Countless minute bubbles under ultra-high pressure ceaselessly appeared and vanished, refracting dazzling halos.

From a distance, Fang Cheng seemed to transform into a blazing sun descending into the ten-thousand-meter abyss.

At the pinnacle of this golden light surge, several prompts flashed swiftly across his retina.

[Congratulations, through superhuman effort and perseverance, your Skill has reached the Grandmaster Level]

[Concentration Lv3 (0/1000)]

[Acquired enhancement reward, Spirit Attribute +12 points]

[Congratulations, your Spirit Attribute has achieved a qualitative leap, successfully crossing the 80-point human limit threshold]

Despite the massive attribute boost from the Skill breakthrough, there was no trace of joy on Fang Cheng’s face.

Instead, his brows suddenly furrowed deeply, revealing a look of pain, as if enduring a highly dangerous shockwave.

Beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead, evaporated instantly by the terrifying high temperature of his body before forming.

In the center of his eyebrows, a point of golden halo emerged from the flesh, rapidly flashing at an extremely high frequency.

Simultaneously, the once outward-spraying golden flames on his body surface began to slowly retract.

The surrounding boiling and distorted seawater gradually calmed down, returning to the tranquil environment expected of the deep sea.

But this did not signify a decline in Strength.

It seemed with the Spirit Attribute surpassing the human limit, Fang Cheng’s control over his True Qi reached a meticulous Transformation Realm, dramatically reducing internal consumption.

The leaking energy was forcibly constrained, the emitted light no longer aimlessly scattered, instead seeming infused with life.

They morphed into flexible light tentacles, effortlessly penetrating the dense sea water, extending towards the farther dark depths.

The golden halo encircling the back of his head not only did not dim.

Instead, it brightened and expanded more than double, with edges so solid as if forged from real gold.

Buzz—Buzz—

A deep hum resonated continuously through the seawater.

Concentric ripples, centered around the cross-legged sitting Fang Cheng, spread outward.

This ripple was not a mere physical water wave, but an extremely condensed Spirit Pulse.

The Divine Soul Power spilling over after Fang Cheng’s breakthrough of the 80-point attribute threshold directly crossed a certain boundary, dispersing through the abyssal currents layer by layer.

It was as if a higher species had descended, announcing its irrefutable majesty and presence to the surrounding sea territory.

After a long while, a series of bubbling sounds of water being sliced open echoed in the darkness.

Pairs of glowing green eyes emerged one after the other at the edge of the abyss touched by the light.

Upon closer inspection, one could discern patches of dark green scales shimmering with a faint sheen.

These were the Merfolk who had long lurked in the deep sea.

They were attracted by this light and aura, swimming towards the bottom of the Changyuan Trench, gradually gathering around Fang Cheng.

The body structure of these deep-sea creatures was remarkably special, able to withstand the water pressure of a ten-thousand-meter abyss.
