c13: 11: Fellow Boxers, Stronger (3)

Or hone one's own body, building enough confidence to overpower the opponent.

Fang Cheng chose the latter.

Midway, a nurse came in for a routine check.

Seeing him vigorously doing push-ups, her gaze carried a hint of bewilderment.

Fang Cheng didn't care about the stares.

Watching the panel, silently counting the numbers.

[You have completed 6 standard push-ups, Skill Experience +1]

[You have completed 6 standard push-ups, Skill Experience +1]

[You have completed 7 standard push-ups, Skill Experience +1]

.........

As the progress bar passed the halfway mark, approaching the lv0 limit, the speed of skill experience growth slowed down.

Upgrading to lv1, like the boxing, the effectiveness of routine exercises would significantly diminish.

Like the opponent encountered in two real fights.

The fat drunk, whom the panel labeled as "an equal opponent."

Easily defeating him, experience soared by 20 points.

Whereas the two thugs often brawling on the streets only received the title "nameless pawns."

The experience gain from beating them was barely different from the drunk's.

But on reflection, it seemed quite reasonable.

After upgrading boxing skills to lv1, the panel rated it as "expert level."

Even if those thugs had rich fighting experience, compared to an expert like himself, weren't they just rookies?

Fang Cheng got up, catching his breath.

Clasping his hands, he stared at the prominent veins on the back of his fists.

As the skill levels increased, his physique continuously strengthened.

Rather than saying, the opponents he would face were becoming stronger,

It would be apt to say that the challenges he needed must be strong enough.

The greater the difficulty, the higher the rewards.

To break through the "boxing" skill limit, the method was to erect imaginary foes, practice Air Attack, and simulate real combat.

To break through the "push-ups" skill limit, continuing the basic repetitive practice clearly had low efficiency.

The most appropriate method was to increase the difficulty of each movement.

Fortunately, the Skill System of the "Prisoner's Six Arts" was well-developed.

Each fitness skill had corresponding advanced training methods that could be unlocked in order, gradually improving.

This required no worry on his part.
