Start with push-ups to gain experience

Chapter 64: Iron Bridge, Six Arts Unlocked
Early morning, Riverside Park.

There was a thin mist over the river and the grass near the river bank was covered with white frost.

Fang Cheng supported himself with his hands and feet, his waist standing straight like an arch bridge.

When your hips reach the highest point, hold the position for a few seconds.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation on my back.

The erector spinae muscles running along both sides of the spine trembled, as if they had really turned into two movable pythons.

At the same time, a force runs through the waist and back, reaching the shoulders and extremities of the limbs.

The entire back seems to expand completely, the muscles relax, and the tension disappears.

The originally uncomfortable posture instantly became normal.

"This feeling……"

Fang Cheng opened his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.

At the same time, several prompt messages appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your skills have reached the expert level]

【Back Bridge lv1 (0/250)】

[Get skill enhancement rewards, please choose between two enhancement directions]

Fang Cheng supported himself on the ground with his hands and tightened his waist and abdomen.

With a little effort, he straightened up and stood up.

He stared at the shining panel and carefully examined the specific rewards.

[Enhancement 6: free attributes]

[Enhancement 2: Skill special effect "Iron Bridge"]

[Makes the entire spine and back muscles as hard as a piece of iron, and the hardness increases by 50% in the physical attribute. When the body is tense, it can instantly soar to 100%]

Fang Cheng felt that this special effect was somewhat familiar.

It seems to be similar to the Goju-ryu "Gongkata" that Goro Majima practices.

It is also similar to the Thai boxer's pain resistance and blow resistance training.

These are all hard work to strengthen the weak parts of the body and improve the strength of muscles and bones.

It’s just that they need to rely on long-term and continuous hammering training to gradually accumulate the effects.

Fang Cheng, however, can achieve immediate results by strengthening his skills.

Speaking of which, the seven skill effects I have gained so far are:
"Rapid Eye Movement", "Iron Fist", "Lonely Man", "Elasticity", "Knife Flower", "Scavenger's Eye", "Strong Arm Master", and "Iron Bridge".

Among them, "Iron Fist", "Strong Arm Master" and "Iron Bridge" all have the effect of increasing the hardness of certain parts of the body.

If similar special effects could be bestowed upon every part of the body, there would be no weak or vital spots.

So……

Is it possible to demonstrate the legendary top martial arts skill "Golden Bell Cover" in real life?
After some thought, Fang Cheng decided to choose the second option.

Physical attributes are like the roots of a tree.

The skill effects are the branches that expand upward, and can be continuously improved as the basic attributes improve.

Unless you urgently need to add points, break through the critical value, and face a dangerous and powerful enemy.

Choosing skill effects will definitely bring higher long-term benefits.

Strengthening is over.

Fang Cheng bent his arms and did a few chest expansion exercises.

When you stretch your muscles, your latissimus dorsi muscles are like spreading bat wings.

The two erector spinae muscles kept twisting like pythons, as if hiding an explosive sense of power.

A long string of information, like a waterfall, also scrolled before my eyes.

[Focus Experience +4]

[Boxing experience +4]

[Sanda experience +5]

[Jiu-Jitsu experience +18]

[Push-up experience +12]

[Squat experience +13]

[Leg Raise Experience +19]

[Pull-up experience +17]

[Back Bridge Experience +6]

………………Strength 32%, Agility 18%, Constitution 67%, Spirit 19%.

These are all the gains from today's morning exercise.

Fang Cheng looked over them one by one, like a farmer inspecting the growth of crops.

He looked somewhat relieved, yet somewhat dissatisfied.

As your physical fitness continues to improve and your skills continue to upgrade, the growth of your experience and attribute values will gradually slow down.

This phenomenon is especially obvious after all attributes exceed 20 points.

Now he can be said to have gone beyond the scope of ordinary people.

It also means that we are entering a new stage of stable development from the initial stage of leapfrog improvement.

If you want to achieve the same level of exercise effect as before, you must put in several times more effort and sweat.

Of course, Fang Cheng is still full of confidence.

Because he has a panel, as long as he keeps exercising, he will get positive feedback.

Whether fast or slow, a lot or a little, there will be a steady stream of attributes and experience gained.

The future is promising and there is a lot of time to come!
After resting for a while, he did not leave the park immediately.

Today's daily training has ended.

The next step is to prepare for unlocking the handstand push-up.

Fang Cheng supported himself on the soft grass with his hands, his arms about shoulder-width apart.

Then he took a deep breath, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and raised his legs high.

The whole person is standing upside down, the body is shaking slightly, the back is slightly bent inward into a bow shape, and try to adjust the posture.

The handstand push-up is a full-body strength training exercise that requires the coordinated work of the shoulders, arms, core and back muscles.

With his current strength and agility, he is able to easily complete a handstand, a difficult move for ordinary people.

The key is to train your body's balance and master some tips on how to fine-tune your posture in the air.

After finding his balance, Fang Cheng stabilized his slightly shaking body.

Begin to bend your elbows and lower yourself until your head lightly touches the grass.

This is a standard handstand.

Fang Cheng has been practicing this move for two days.

It’s just that I didn’t try to challenge my limits and pursue unlocking skills in one go like I did in the past.

Instead, prepare to proceed step by step and lay a solid foundation first.

Fang Cheng does not plan to use the skill of "potential stimulation" casually in the future.

In addition to considering it as a trump card, it is also because I realize the importance of "health preservation".

By perceiving the actual changes in the body's condition, combined with the medical theory knowledge learned in self-study in the library.

Fang Cheng had a vague guess that the so-called "potential" was actually a kind of life energy hidden in the cells.

Using the skill of "potential stimulation" is actually equivalent to accelerating cell division and consuming this life energy.

In the short term, the benefits seem to outweigh the disadvantages, but in the long term it may cause irreversible damage to the body.

If there is no suitable remedy, it is obviously wiser to act cautiously at this time.

After doing 20 handstand push-ups in a row.

Fang Cheng simply stood on his hands, took a breath, and took a short rest.

Looking at the entire upside-down city, I felt a sense of novelty for a moment.

I have never looked at the world I have lived in for more than 20 years from this perspective, and suddenly I felt a little touched.

Fang Cheng slowly closed his eyes and felt it with his heart.

I just felt like I was walking on the sky, following the rotation of the earth, and traveling.

The sunlight shines on the motionless figure, which seems to blend into the sculptures in the park.

View from the waterside pavilion in the distance.

A few old men in training clothes, who had just finished a set of boxing, were pointing in this direction.

There was a faint sound of discussion:

"This young man is quite good at standing still..."

Fang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the new information appearing in front of him.

[You practice handstand push-ups to a certain level and gain a deep understanding of this]

[Unlocked skill: Handstand lv0 (0/100)]

Prisoner's Six Arts, all six skills are finally unlocked!
