Half an hour later.

Chen Sheng, who had regained his physical strength, started putting on his weighted gear.

After a whole day of training, his attributes had significantly grown compared to before.

The 30kg of weight was clearly no longer sufficient for his needs.

Chen Sheng immediately added two steel bars to his weighted vest.

With a total weight of 40kg, Chen Sheng felt stable.

[Strength: 1.86]

He was still 0.14 away from breaking through the 2-point threshold.

“Let’s go!”

Chen Sheng rubbed his palms and went to the balcony, starting his basic training exercises directly.

Push-ups, squats, and sit-ups.

After completing each exercise,

Chen Sheng felt his muscular strength gradually growing stronger and worked extra hard.

One hour later.

Strength increased by 0.11.

He was still 0.03 away from breaking through the 2-point threshold.

The other two attributes each increased by 0.02

Chen Sheng lay on the balcony, gasping for air while waiting for his physical strength to recover.

It was already past ten o’clock at night.

If it had been a normal day, Chen Sheng would have showered and prepared for bed by now.

But today,

he was determined to see if he could make a sound when throwing a punch with his 2-point strength.

Twenty minutes later.

Chen Sheng’s physical strength had mostly recovered,

but the soreness in his muscles had not completely disappeared.

Fortunately, the increase in strength attribute could alleviate muscle fatigue, so he could still continue exercising.

He lay down once again, starting to do push-ups.

Chen Sheng didn’t close the panel, but instead watched the changes on it during his exercises.

Five minutes later.

1.98

Ten minutes later.

1.99

Just a bit more!

Bulging veins appeared on the surface of his skin, Chen Sheng’s arm muscles swelled, and his expression seemed somewhat ferocious.

He clenched his teeth, his body quickly rising and falling with each push-up.

In the end,

[Strength: 2]

“Done!”

Chen Sheng smiled,

and saw that with a sudden push from both arms, he leaped up from the ground.

Swish!

Chen Sheng tried to punch,

his fist cut through the air, making a distinct breaking air sound.

But this,

was clearly not enough to be called a ‘sound.’

However, Chen Sheng was not in a hurry.

In order to make a sound with his punches, he had to let his body become familiar with the power exertion methods.

Just relying on arm muscle strength alone was far from enough.

Chen Sheng closed his eyes.

After taking several deep breaths,

he assumed the Three-Body Technique posture and slowly practiced the Xingyi Five Elements Fist.

Chop, crash, drill, cannon, horizontal.

He executed each move smoothly, like flowing water.

With his eyes closed, Chen Sheng felt the changes in his body muscles.

Suddenly,

the speed of his practice gradually increased.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

His fists cut through the air one after another.

Sweat seeped out from Chen Sheng’s forehead.

Almost there.

Just a little more.

He could feel it,

just a tiny bit more.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

His moves became faster and faster,

Chen Sheng’s fists disappeared, leaving only afterimages in the air.

The sound grew louder, almost blending together.

Until finally,

Pop!

The sudden exploding sound broke the silence of the night.

People sleeping were awakened by the sudden explosion.

Dog barks and swearing followed.

But listening to the continuous cursing,

Chen Sheng quickly shrank his head and ran into the house at the fastest speed to avoid being discovered as the disturber of the peace.

Entering the living room,

“Ha!”

Chen Sheng looked at his fist, his face full of exhilaration.

Punching with a sound!

He had finally done it.

It seemed like there was still some lingering excitement.

Chen Sheng closed the balcony door and started punching in the living room again.

With the experience from the first time,

he became more and more familiar with the mobilization of his muscles.

Pop!

At first,

It would still take two or three rounds of practice for Five Elements Fist to make a sound reluctantly.

Pa! Pa!

Later on, every round could produce a sound.

One hour later.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Chen Sheng’s sweat dripped like rain, his face filled with ecstasy.

He was still practicing his fists.

But now,

Every move made an ongoing explosion of sound.

The whole living room seemed like it was setting off firecrackers.

“Hu——”

Chen Sheng took a deep breath.

Only when he reached this level did he stop his actions and stagger towards the sofa.

Bang!

His body plunged headfirst into the sofa.

As he suddenly relaxed, Chen Sheng almost moaned with pleasure due to excessive soreness and comfort.

[Chen Sheng]

[Strength: 2]

[Agility: 1.62]

[Constitution: 2.12]

[Three-body Stance Level 2: 40/5000]

[Xingyi Five Elements Fist Level 1: 50/2000]

[Skill Points: 1.96]

This was Chen Sheng’s current attribute.

Just an hour of practicing his fists had increased his agility by 0.01 and his physical attribute by 0.02

For him now,

it’s better than nothing.

And now, he had enough skill points to upgrade his Five Elements Fist.

However,

Before his strength could produce An Jin, he had no plans to upgrade.

Although after upgrading his Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng would be able to learn the way of emitting An Jin.

But the foundation of martial arts is having a strong enough physique to support it.

Chen Sheng’s current muscular strength had only barely reached Light Energy, so there was no need to rush to upgrade.

It was the Three-body Stance,

After upgrading to Level 2, its requirement for proficiency had increased significantly.

Chen Sheng was quite curious of the changes in the next level.

Therefore,

He decided to hold the Five Elements Fist upgrade, and wait until he had enough skill points to upgrade the Three-body Technique.

By that time,

His training effects were bound to see another increase.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng, feeling his body had recovered some, got up from the sofa and took off the weighted gear.

He didn’t take a bath right away, but went to the kitchen to get some instant food he had bought.

His previous workout had depleted most of his energy.

He was now so hungry he could almost eat the table.

After a quick meal, Chen Sheng went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Half an hour later,

Chen Sheng fell fast asleep on the bed.

—————–

The next day,

Morning,

Chen Sheng opened his eyes.

Yesterday, he had slept heavily due to extreme fatigue,

and now he felt refreshed after waking up.

Getting up from the bed, Chen Sheng stretched lazily.

The crackling sounds from all over his body were very comforting.

He went to the kitchen and found that the ingredients he bought two days ago were almost gone.

So after washing up, Chen Sheng went to the vegetable market again to buy groceries and had breakfast along the way.

After returning home,

and placing the groceries, Chen Sheng put on the 40kg weight again.

He went straight to the direction of the Martial Arts Hall as soon as he left his house.

As his current attributes grew larger, the improvement that Chen Sheng gained from training every day increased accordingly.

Yesterday, he was barely able to run 13 kilometers with 30kg weight,

but today,

He stopped to rest after running 15 kilometers with 40kg weight.

Only five kilometers away from the Martial Arts Hall, he gave up on calling for a moto-taxi.

He walked slowly, recovering his stamina while moving towards the Martial Arts Hall.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall,

Chen Sheng looked at the panel.

Today’s morning run had raised his constitution by 0.09 and his other two attributes by 0.02.

He was very satisfied with this.

After checking his gains and looking at the time, Chen Sheng directly entered the Martial Arts Hall.

He was a little late today because he had to buy groceries.

“Brother Chen, why are you just coming now?”

Upon arriving at the practice area, Shi Jian, who was practicing, stopped and greeted him.

“Hi, Brother Chen!”

“Good morning, Brother Chen!”

“Brother Chen looks even more handsome today!”

Several disciples of the Martial Arts Hall who had received guidance from Chen Sheng yesterday greeted him warmly.

Chen Sheng nodded in response and went to Shi Jian’s side.

“I was swallowing purple energy this morning and had a little breakthrough,”

“so I came a little late.”
