Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Massage Class

Learning this massage technique felt a bit like kneading dough, at least that’s how it felt in Li Ang’s hands.

The muscles in this area were more suited to squeezing techniques, which included pressing, poking, pressing, pinching, kneading, grabbing, and flicking.

Of course, Sheila also taught him so composite techniques, such as the gliding thod, the Anrou thod, the shaking thod, and the point press thod, all of which Li Ang tried.

However, after trying them all, Li Ang found that the Anrou thod was the most suitable for this area.

The Anrou thod has the effect of accelerating blood circulation, improving local tissue tabolism, stimulating blood flow to dispel stasis, and relieving spasms.

Because the gluteal area is a place with thick muscles, different from the joints, there was no interference from bones.

Additionally, the practice was currently conducted over a satin fabric skirt, which made it very smooth to the touch and highly beneficial for practicing this technique.

“Oh~ God, your progress is really significant, this is an experience I’ve never had before.”

Sheila’s voice trembled a bit, clearly surprised at how quickly Li Ang was learning.

“In fact, I’ve been practicing on my own body these days, and I’ve found that the techniques of Sports Massage are quite helpful for the body’s recovery.”

Li Ang smiled, but his hands didn’t stop.

“I find it hard to believe that a newcor, who has a total learning ti of less than half a day, can achieve this level.”

Sheila nodded continuously, sowhat regretting not having t Li Ang sooner.

“However, I must advise you that practicing massage on your own body does have so viability, but in reality, due to the misplacent of body sensation and anticipation of one’s own movents, the effectiveness of your practice will be greatly reduced.”

Li Ang nodded in agreent, he had also noticed that the proficiency gained from massaging himself was indeed less than when massaging others.

“So, you can co to , I an, I would be happy to help you in this area, free of charge.”

“That sounds very nice.”

Li Ang knew that his proficiency level in Sports Massage was certainly not comparable to Sheila’s skills.

The reason he was able to give her an experience beyond expectations might also be related to the trait: Enhanced Recovery Ability.

Don’t think that if your body is not injured, there is no such thing as “recovery” happening inside it.

In fact, the human body is in a constant cycle of cell death and regeneration 24 hours a day, so enhancing recovery ability could definitely make one feel a different kind of comfort.

After about an hour, Li Ang had learned all the massage techniques for the gluteal area.

The remaining leg area could be managed in about one lesson.

As for the foot area, although it seed small, it actually covered a rich content of massage techniques; Sheila estimated that it would take at least two to three lessons.

Considering that it was getting late today, they decided to continue next ti.

During the process, Li Ang also inford her that he would be participating in a cycling race after a while.

This was also the reason why Li Ang’s schedule had been so fully booked recently.

Sheila understood and acknowledged that as a man, one should have so pursuits.

It just so happened that she had to go on a trip in the next few days to deal with so family matters.

Thus, the two of them arranged the remaining lessons for after the competition.

Sheila walked Li Ang to the door and reluctantly let go of his hand.

As everyone knows, because friction generates heat, both of their faces were flushed with a layer of red due to the warmth.

Li Ang was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt his leg being grasped by Sheila’s hand.

“If your leg muscles are constantly tense, it can lead to poor blood circulation,” Miss Sheila said.

Before he could even respond, her hands let go.

“Miss Sheila…”

Sheila responded with a mischievous smile and continued,

“You’ll need to put so muscle into this upcoming cycling race. If you score well, I’ll have a surprise for you.”

Watching Li Ang hurry off, Sheila’s smile was almost dripping with delight.

In the following days, Li Ang resud his regular routine, which consisted of training, and more training.

Four days later, his Running skill finally experienced a breakthrough.

Running 1/1000 (Master)

(Trait: Lung capacity increased by 40%)

(Trait: Muscle endurance increased by 10%)

Despite having so expectations for the enhancents that would accompany his Running skill reaching Master level,

actually seeing these traits still brought Li Ang a considerable surprise.

By his rough assessnt, the trait increasing muscle endurance by 10% was comparable, if not superior, to the 40% increase in lung capacity.

Because even though the increase was only 10% in proportion, it affected all the muscles in his body, which ant this enhancent would be beneficial for all his activities.

Explosive power may be the chosen pursuit for a strong man, but endurance is equally important.

By that ti, Li Ang had already completed his goal of running 20 kiloters for the day, but after seeing his upgraded skill, he couldn’t resist the itch to test it out.

If Running at the Proficient level required him to consciously focus on his movents, breathing, and pacing during the activity,

then now, at the Master Level, running felt as natural as breathing; he no longer needed to think about his actions, which seed more like an instinct.

Having just completed ten kiloters, Li Ang set off again, feeling absolutely no strain on his body.

He glanced at the ti for his run. His previous comfortable pace of four minutes per kiloter had increased to three minutes and thirty seconds without any stress; he seed completely unaware of any decline in his stamina.

He felt he could maintain this pace indefinitely.

Li Ang tried to quicken his speed further.

Since he only had a sports watch and wasn’t running on a professional track, testing his maximum speed over short distances would result in significant inaccuracies.

So Li Ang ran another kiloter at full speed, clocking in at around two minutes and twenty-two seconds.

And the current world record for one kiloter stands at two minutes eleven point nine six seconds.

His own test results were not perfectly accurate, either in ti or distance, but they were sufficient to show that his level was now approaching that of a professional athlete.

Because the brain stores few new experiences during routine living, such a life often gives the illusion that ti is passing very quickly.

Before long, the evening before the race arrived.

“Just put the bike on the roof and that will do,”

Eric directed the driver, who was securing Li Ang’s luggage, while beckoning him to get into the car.

Li Ang had been worried about how he would get to the race venue, but Eric had surprisingly arranged for a BMW X5 to pick him up and take them both there.

“Why don’t you take a look at your outfit first? Try it on and see if it fits.”
