Chapter 5: Chapter 3: Prisoner's Six Arts, Liberation of Self (Please Follow)_2 Sweat flowing from his body dampened his undershirt.
He silently gasped for breath for a few seconds.
Then he continued to repeat the simple, yet extremely difficult motions.
As if forgetting the pain generated by his flesh.
Only concentrating on feeling the tensed muscles in his arms, feeling the strength within them that could change his fate.
[Warning! You are starting to overexert your physical strength, please rest in time and regulate your body condition.]
"26."
"27."
"28."
"29."
Reaching this level, every additional movement was a significant challenge.
The pain and agony were no less than enduring torture.
No matter how strong the will, the flesh ultimately has its own physiological limits for self-protection.
Fang Cheng's face turned beet red, his eyes seeming to burn with flames.
Am I really reaching my limit?
Then, let's.
For the last.
Do one more!
"30!!!"
Fang Cheng forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, roaring in a low voice.
Barely managing to complete the push-up motion.
At this moment, his arm muscles suddenly started to spasm.
Finally... unable to continue supporting his increasingly heavy body.
Thud.
Fang Cheng's knees hit the floor, elbows touching down, head bowed as he gasped for air.
His entire body was like a fish that had just leaped out of water, limbs and back completely lacking strength, exhausted almost to the point of collapsing on the ground.
However.
In the silent darkness, Fang Cheng's face showed no sign of discouragement or pain.
Instead, his eyes shone brightly, revealing unspoken joy.
Because the panel display before his eyes was quickly brightening and enlarging.
Rows of fresh information were emerging, continuously rolling and displaying.
[You exerted all your strength in practicing push-ups, and have gained a deep understanding of them.]
[Skill Unlocked: Push-ups lv0 (0/100)]
[You have challenged your limits, and your body has initiated its self-protection mechanism.]
[Skill Unlocked: Potential Activation]
[You have successfully triggered a hidden skill, please use it as soon as possible.]
Unexpectedly, it wasn't the anticipated "fitness" or "exercise" but the more specific "push-ups".
This was also good; at least it proved that the method was feasible.
Prisoner's Six Arts includes six skills in total, if all are successfully unlocked, wouldn't the enhancements from leveling up be even greater?
Fang Cheng had no time to ponder in detail.
He noticed another newly unlocked skill slot on the Skill Panel flashing red, as if it might disappear at any moment.
Without hesitation, he immediately chose to use it.
Buzz————
For a moment, it seemed as though an invisible energy had emerged from his bloodstream.
Fang Cheng's pupils dilated.
He could distinctly feel that energy coursing through his veins, continuously infusing into his bones, muscles, and organs.
His initially exhausted body suddenly felt like it had been injected with adrenaline, instantly revived.
It was as though he was soaking in a hot spring, having just received a Gold Medal Technician's spa service.
All the negative factors like the soreness and fatigue from exercise were swept away.
Fang Cheng raised his arm and clenched his fist, feeling the restored strength.
