Chapter 34: Chapter 32: Breakthrough in Spiritual Realm
"..."
"38."
"39."
"40."
Suddenly,
a surge of electricity seed to pass through the muscles of the shoulders and back.
The intense stimulation made it impossible to stay calm.
[Warning! You are beginning to overdraw your physical strength, please rest and adjust your body condition in ti]
[Warning! You are slightly overdrawing your spirit, your physical condition is poor, please pay attention to rest]
Two consecutive ssages appeared before his eyes.
Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered slightly, forced out of his state of Concentration.
Physical exhaustion was secondary.
The key was the ntal languor, preventing him from continuing to use his skills.
Waves of pain ca like a tide, enveloping his whole body.
Like countless fine needles ruthlessly prickling, his arms and shoulders trembled visibly.
Perhaps due to the high-intensity training, work, plus physical tests and combat in recent days.
Ultimately slowing down the recovery of energy.
The effect of practicing skills erged, but his body was almost at its limit.
Fang Cheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to do another.
His shoulders felt a heavy bodily burden, as if suddenly gaining several tis the weight.
41 pull-ups, which should be considered top-level among amateur fitness enthusiasts.
But it was still far from enough, Fang Cheng’s preset goal was 50 to 60 or more.
After physical quality improved, accordingly, the threshold to unlock fitness skills also raised.
Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered slightly, sensing that he was just a hair’s breadth away from entry level.
Only... he felt sowhat powerless.
He hung his arms under the horizontal bar, panting while adjusting his state.
It was brighter than before.
The lead-gray clouds pressed overhead, as if nearly touching the ground.
Lightning faintly showed its weak light, but Fang Cheng didn’t hear any thunder.
The intense tiredness made him feel as if he had gone deaf.
Looking down, the feet hanging in the air seed to turn into an abyss.
He was like an exhausted climber, clinging to a sheer cliff.
Torrential rains and mountain floods continuously washed over his body.
To let go would inevitably lead to shattered bones.
With this extre thought of imagination, Fang Cheng stimulated his body not to give up.
"My limit is definitely not just this..."
His face was tight, his eyes once again becoming calm.
Even if unable to use the Concentration Skill, he was still trying to make his condition serene and composed.
Perhaps because he couldn’t hear, the entire world fell into silence.
Raindrops hitting his body felt as though they were washing away the sweat.
The cold wind brushing his face felt like fingertips gently touching his skin.
The occasional lightning across the sky was like the first light of dawn.
Gradually, Fang Cheng’s breathing and heartbeat also miraculously cald down.
His entire body beca unusually relaxed, entering so sort of wonderful state.
Thoughts flowed incessantly, blending with the rain, trees, and nature around him.
This torrential rain no longer seed like a difficult barrier but a burst of life force.
Billions of years ago, life was born in such dark, fierce rain...
Fang Cheng took a deep breath, looking up at the sky.
Rain instantly blurred his vision.
He closed his eyes, silently experiencing.
As if receiving the baptism of that life force.
A crystal-clear raindrop fell slowly from the sky, passed through thousands of rain lines, hitting right at the furrow between his brows.
Fang Cheng’s eyebrows relaxed, and he abruptly opened his eyes.
The muscles in his shoulders and back suddenly exerted force, his body quickly stretched upwards.
"42."
"43."
"44."
"..."
Fang Cheng restarted doing pull-ups.
As if completely forgetting the physical pain and the ntal languor.
His posture regained agility and lightness, each lift over the bar seed to respond to that life-nurturing miraculous force.
His eyes ignited like flas, the heavy rain unable to extinguish them, even seemingly fueling them.
Suddenly, a long-missed notification ssage erged.
[Potential Activation cooldown is over, conditions for use are t]
Fang Cheng paid no attention, still imrsed in that incredibly wondrous state.
His consciousness vaguely seed to touch the deep layers of the world, receiving the most primal ssages from the cosmic firmant.
Empty, yet not empty.
Amid endless darkness, there were nurous noisy sounds, nurous brilliant lights, floating and vibrating like musical strings.
As if all creatures, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, the consciousness of all life resides in this place.
[You have comprehended so ditation mysteries, Spirit increased by 0.001]
[You have comprehended so ditation mysteries, Spirit increased by 0.001]
[You have comprehended so ditation mysteries, Spirit increased by 0.001]
.........
A stream of fresh notification ssages, like a curtain of rain, swiftly flashes by.
After several tis of movent and breathing.
The panel also flashes dazzling light, rapidly enlarging.
[You practiced Pull-ups, reaching a certain level, and gained a deep understanding]
[Unlocked Skill: Pull-ups lv0 (0/100)]
However.
These notification ssages did not make Fang Cheng stop.
He did not know how many tis he had done it.
Just expression serene, breathing steady, maintaining the rhythm of his movents.
As if dancing gracefully in the rain with the song of life.
While surpassing physical boundaries, his Spirit was also quietly undergoing so kind of transformation.
[You have comprehended so ditation mysteries, Spirit increased by 0.001]
[You have comprehended so ditation mysteries, Spirit increased by 0.001]
.........
On the panel, the Spirit Attribute has risen from 18 points to 19 points.
And the progress bar is still increasing continuously, rapidly rising.
Approaching the 20-point barrier relentlessly, charging upwards...
Boom!
A dazzling forked lightning leaps out from the dark clouds, snaking downwards.
The earth-shattering thunder, restores Fang Cheng’s hearing.
In an instant, it also causes him to exit from that unknown Spirit state.
The notifications of Spirit increase likewise abruptly stop.
Exhaustion, soreness, tearing-like pain assaults once again.
His muscles spasd uncontrollably, stronger than before by a dozen tis.
Fang Cheng’s arms trembled, and he tily shouted:
"Potential Activation, initiate!"
Just as he let go and fell, a surge of nascent strength suddenly erged from his shoulder and back area, supporting him.
Imdiately after, his hands re-clutched the bar, his ten fingers gripping the slippery steel firmly.
His body in mid-air swayed a bit, yet stabilized again without danger.
At this mont, he truly beca like a professional rock climber.
Feeling the limbs filled with vitality again, Fang Cheng looked up at the sky, grinning.
Then, he looked at the panel displaying a barrage of relentless notifications, the curve of his lips widening even more.
Raindrops kept falling into his mouth, moistening his dry and smoky throat.
Also giving him an unprecedented experience.
As if he could taste the earth and vegetation in the rainwater.
Not just his sense of taste, his vision and hearing also experienced very notable changes.
Across the river, a row of high-rise residential buildings lit up a few dots of light.
Despite being kiloters away, he could faintly see people moving inside.
Fang Cheng’s eyes sparkled, then looked back at his own attributes.
The Spirit column had reached as high as 20 points.
Recalling the wondrous state he had entered before, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but speculate.
What exactly is the ditation mystery?
After comprehending, it unexpectedly made his Spirit Attribute surge.
But... why didn’t it unlock a corresponding skill?
Right now, Fang Cheng had no ti to think further, watching as the rain beca fiercer, the sky slightly glowing.
Straightening his waist, his shoulders exerting force.
With an easy and comfortable double-arm, he then sat on top of the bar.
At this mont.
He was like a climber who reached the summit, freely gazing at distant skyscrapers that seed so small.
Black clouds moved like ink, forming a huge water curtain, washing over the entire city.
Lightning cleaved across the sky, like breathtaking spectacular paintings, each scene making one hold their breath.
This was a scene ordinary people accustod to comfort could never appreciate.
"Even if the panel loses its function, all skills disappear, I will never be a weakling again..."
Fang Cheng sat on the bar, quietly enjoying a world that belonged only to him.
Under the torrential rain, both body and Spirit seed to undergo a double purification.
Several minutes later.
He cald his mind, slightly touching his wet, black hair on the forehead.
He shifted his gaze to the newly unlocked skills bar.
[Pull-ups lv0 (6/100)]
His sight swept over, just about to retract, but noticed an anomaly.
Behind the four fitness skills of Push-ups, Deep Squat, Lifting Leg, and Pull-ups, a faintly glowing little arrow appeared.
It seems... to link all four fitness skills together.
"What is this?"
Fang Cheng’s eyes slightly widened in surprise.
