Chapter 32: Spiritual Realm Breakthrough

"..."

"38."

"39."

"40."

Suddenly.

A current seemed to pass through the muscles in his shoulders and back.

The intense stimulation made it impossible to stay calm at all.

[Warning! You are beginning to overdraw your physical strength. Please rest in time and condition your physical state]

[Warning! You have slightly overdrawn your spirit, and your physical condition is poor. Please pay attention to rest]

Two consecutive messages floated up before his eyes.

Fang Cheng's gaze flickered slightly, and he was forced to exit the Focus state.

The consumption of physical strength was secondary.

The key was his mental languor, which made it impossible for him to continue using skills.

Waves of pain washed over him like a tide, enveloping his entire body.

It was also like countless fine needles stabbing fiercely, causing the muscles in his arms, shoulders, and back to involuntarily tremble noticeably.

Perhaps because of the high-intensity exercise and work over the past few days, coupled with the physical fitness test and combat.

Ultimately leading to slower energy recovery.

At this moment, the effect of practicing the skill appeared, but his body was about to give out.

Fang Cheng gritted his teeth and managed to do one more.

His shoulders felt a heavy physical burden, as if their weight had suddenly increased several times.

Forty-one Pull-ups should be considered the top level among amateur fitness enthusiasts.

But this was far from enough; Fang Cheng's preset goal was 50 to 60 or more.

After his physical fitness improved, the unlock threshold for fitness skills was correspondingly raised.

Fang Cheng's gaze flickered slightly, and he could feel that he was only a hair's breadth away from mastery.

It was just... somewhat beyond his capability.

He hung his arms under the horizontal bar, panting while adjusting his state.

The sky was a bit brighter than before.

Lead-gray clouds pressed down on top of his head, as if they were about to touch the ground.

Lightning faintly revealed a weak light, but Fang Cheng did not hear the sound of thunder coming.

The intense sense of exhaustion had made him deaf.

Looking down, his feet suspended in the air trance-like became a bottomless abyss.

He was like an exhausted rock climber, parasitically clinging to a steep, sheer peak.

The torrential rain and flash floods constantly washed over his body.

The moment he let go, he would definitely fall to pieces.

Fang Cheng used this illusory, extreme thought to stimulate his body not to give up.

"My limit is definitely more than this..."

His face was tight, and his gaze calmed down again.

Even though he couldn't use the Focus Skill, he was trying hard to make his state peaceful and calm.

Perhaps because he couldn't hear any sound, the entire world fell into complete silence.

Raindrops hit his body, as if washing away sweat stains.

A cold wind blew across his face, just like fingertips gently stroking his skin.

The lightning that occasionally swept across the sky was like a sliver of dawn's early light.

Gradually, Fang Cheng's breathing and heartbeat miraculously calmed down as well.

His whole person became unusually relaxed, entering some kind of wondrous state.

His thoughts kept flowing, flowing into the rain, integrating with the surrounding trees and the natural world.

This rainstorm seemed to no longer be a difficult obstacle, but rather an outburst of some life force.

Billions of years ago, life was born in such a dark and violent heavy rain...

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

The rainwater instantly blurred his vision.

He closed his eyes and silently felt it.

As if accepting the baptism of that life force.

A crystal-clear raindrop slowly fell from high altitude, passing through thousands of rain lines, and hit his tightly knitted brow.

Fang Cheng smoothed his brow and abruptly opened his eyes.

The muscles in his shoulders and back suddenly exerted force, and his body quickly pulled upward.

"42."

"43."

"44."

"..."

Fang Cheng started doing Pull-ups again.

It was as if he completely forgot the pain brought by the flesh and the languor caused by the spirit.

His posture recovered its agility and lightness, and every time he pushed his body past the bar, it was like responding to that power that nurtured the miracle of life.

His eyes were ignited like flames; the heavy rain could no longer extinguish them, and even added fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, a long-absent prompt message floated up.

[Potential Activation cooldown has ended, usage conditions are met]

Fang Cheng completely ignored it, still immersed in that incomparably wondrous Realm.

His consciousness vaguely seemed to touch the deep layers of the world, receiving the most primitive information from the Universe and the firmament.

Empty, yet not empty.

In the endless darkness, there were countless noisy sounds and countless brilliant lights, floating and vibrating like musical strings.

As if all living beings, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, the consciousness of all creatures were located here.

[You comprehend a certain Meditation Profound Truth, Spirit increases by 0.001]

[You comprehend a certain Meditation Profound Truth, Spirit increases by 0.001]

[You comprehend a certain Meditation Profound Truth, Spirit increases by 0.001]

...

Brand-new prompt messages flashed past quickly like a curtain of rain.

After several movements and breaths.

The panel also flickered with dazzling light, rapidly enlarging.

[You practiced Pull-up, reaching a certain degree, and gained a deep understanding of it]

[Unlocked Skill: Pull-up lv0 (0/100)]

However.

These prompt messages similarly did not make Fang Cheng stop because of them.

Read error-free first-release content online!

He didn't know how many times he had done it.

He just had a calm expression, steady breathing, and maintained the rhythm of his movements.

As if accompanying the playing of the song of life, dancing gracefully in the rain.

While his physical body transcended its shackles, his spirit was also quietly completing a certain transformation.

[You comprehend a certain Meditation Profound Truth, Spirit increases by 0.001]

[You comprehend a certain Meditation Profound Truth, Spirit increases by 0.001]

...

On the panel, the spirit attribute had already broken through from 18 points to 19 points.

And the progress bar was still continuing to grow and rapidly improve.

Constantly closing in on the 20-point mark, surging straight up...

Rumble!

A dazzling branched lightning leapt out from the dark clouds, meandering downward.

The earth-shattering thunder made Fang Cheng's ears regain their hearing.

In an instant, it also made him exit from that unknown mental state.

The prompt messages for the increase in the spirit attribute also abruptly stopped accordingly.

Fatigue, soreness, and tearing pain struck him again.

His muscles convulsed endlessly like ripples, more than a dozen times stronger than before.

Fang Cheng's arm trembled, and he shouted in a low voice in time:

"Potential Activation, activate!"

Just at the moment he let go and fell, a newborn force suddenly surged from his shoulders and back, lifting and supporting him.

Following closely, his hands grabbed the horizontal bar again, his ten fingers firmly gripping the slippery steel pipe.

His body suspended in the air swayed, narrowly avoiding danger, and stabilized once more.

At this moment, he seemed to have truly become a professional rock climber.

Feeling his revitalized body and limbs, Fang Cheng looked up at the sky and grinned.

Then looking at the dazzling array of messages floating on the panel, the arc of the corners of his mouth rising was even more obvious.

Raindrops constantly dripped into his mouth, moistening his parched and smoking throat.

Also giving him an unprecedented experience.

It seemed he could taste the scent of soil and vegetation contained in the rainwater.

Not only his sense of taste, but his vision and hearing also underwent extremely significant changes.

A row of high-rise residential areas across the river lit up with a few star-like lights.

Separated by over a thousand meters, he could faintly see figures moving inside.

Fang Cheng's gaze flashed brightly as he looked at his own attributes again.

That spirit column unexpectedly reached as high as 20 points.

Recalling the wondrous state he had entered earlier, Fang Cheng couldn't help making some guesses.

What on earth was the Meditation Profound Truth?

After comprehending it, it actually caused his spirit attribute to skyrocket.

It's just... why didn't it unlock the corresponding skill?

Fang Cheng had no time to think more at this moment, looking at the heavier rain and the slightly brightening sky.

Straightening his waist, his shoulders and back exerted force.

With an effortless muscle-up, he then flipped over and sat on top of the horizontal bar.

At this moment.

He was like a rock climber who had reached the peak, gazing heartily at the distant towering buildings that had become tiny.

Dark clouds moved continuously like ink balls, forming a huge water curtain that washed over the entire city.

Lightning slashed across the sky, resembling a breathtaking and magnificent scroll, every scene of which made people involuntarily hold their breath.

This was a scenery that ordinary people accustomed to comfort could simply not appreciate.

"Even if the panel loses its function and all skills disappear, I will definitely no longer be a weakling..."

Fang Cheng sat on the horizontal bar, quietly enjoying the world belonging uniquely to himself.

Beneath the torrential rain, his body and spirit seemed to be experiencing a dual baptism.

A few minutes later.

He calmed his state of mind and smoothed the wet black hair in front of his forehead.

Casting his gaze toward the newly unlocked skill column.

[Pull-up lv0 (6/100)]

Sweeping his gaze over, just as he was about to withdraw it, he discovered a slight abnormality.

Behind the four skills of Push-up, Squat, Leg Raise, and Pull-up, faintly glowing small arrows unexpectedly appeared.

It seemed... to string all four fitness-system skills together.

"What is this thing?"

Fang Cheng's eyes froze slightly.
