50: Chapter 50 Integration and Mastery

Chapter 50: Comprehensive Understanding

The newly risen winter sun, resembling a bright orange, illuminated the silent and cold city.

Soft light pierced through the thin mist, reflected off the glass, and cast onto the open space of the room.

A robust figure wearing only shorts continuously bent his knees to Squat down and thrust his hips up to stand, carrying out training.

Beads of sweat slowly oozed out along his spine.

[Remember this site's domain name, read Taiwan novels on Suishi Kan]

Rolling and flowing along the clearly contoured muscle lines.

Shining in the sunlight, sparkling with crystal clarity, it had a peculiar aesthetic.

Every time he squatted down, his thigh muscles bulged out in blocks, seemingly concealing explosive power.

"Whew—"

Fang Cheng exhaled, straightened his body, and used a towel to wipe his sweat-soaked chest and spine.

After resting for two minutes, he continued to bend his knees and lift his legs, doing the next set of single-leg Squat exercises.

Two days had already passed since the day of the duel with Majima Goro.

Although he was on sick leave, Fang Cheng ultimately couldn't stay idle and threw himself back into training this morning.

The recovery speed of his dislocated shoulder was considered within expectations.

The injury on his left shoulder was relatively light, and he felt it was close to a full recovery.

Although his right shoulder didn't hurt, there was still some strange feeling, making it temporarily unsuitable for strenuous exercise.

Taking his current physical condition into account, Fang Cheng adjusted his training plan.

Aside from practicing Kicking Techniques, he focused on exercising his Squat.

Doing this, the experience growth speed of single-item skills was indeed lightning fast.

Especially the Squat skill, which was visibly about to achieve a Breakthrough past the 250 mark.

"..."

"698."

"699."

"700."

Fang Cheng silently counted the numbers, suddenly exhaled a long breath, and straightened his legs with a relaxed body.

"Training complete!"

Under the sunlight, the pale blue light screen was exceptionally dazzling.

[Focus experience + 4]

[Squat experience + 59]

[Sanda experience + 13]

...

[Squat lv1 (226/250)]

[Sanda lv1 (140/250)]

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the various information on the panel and nodded with satisfaction.

He was another big step closer to a skill upgrade.

The harvest was not bad; he should keep up the good work.

He raised his head to glance at the calendar on the wall: December 15th.

Then his pupils flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself,

"I hope my shoulder can heal by the time Zheng Haokang comes..."

He had promised to act in place of Majima Goro and test the true strength of this newly promoted world-class boxing champion.

With the thought flashing through his mind, Fang Cheng quickly walked toward the bathroom.

Preparing to wash up and then dive into postgraduate entrance exam self-study.

...

Ring-a-ling-ling—

On the desk, the alarm clock emitted a harsh ringing sound.

Fang Cheng immediately put down his pen, dropped the book, and pressed the stop button.

At the same time, several lines of small text rolled and emerged before his eyes.

[Your Focus Skill experience + 3]

[Your Speed Reading skill experience + 3]

Fang Cheng's eyes were bright, without a trace of fatigue.

Neither his forehead nor his temples produced the throbbing pain of prolonged brain use.

If it were before, using both mental-type skills simultaneously for more than an hour and a half...

Would inevitably cause the panel to issue warning messages.

Now that his mental attribute had broken through to 20 points, it was equivalent to his mana bar growing by a large margin.

The original skill consumption naturally seemed negligible.

His learning efficiency had also increased a lot because of this.

After putting away the postgraduate entrance exam textbooks, Fang Cheng instead picked up a book with a brand-new cover.

Written on it were the words 《New Japanese Language Tutorial》.

This was what he bought from a nearby bookstore after visiting Majima Goro the day before yesterday.

Since he planned to learn more information from the other party's mouth, Fang Cheng was unwilling to only rely on others for translation help.

Over the past few days, aside from reading textbooks at home to self-study Japanese Language, he would run to the hospital to have heart-to-heart talks with Majima Goro whenever he had nothing to do.

Chatting about martial arts, chatting about life, or about the changes in the international situation, the mysteries of all living beings in the Universe...

Most of the time, the two of them were like a chicken talking to a duck, staring at each other.

Fang Cheng simply treated it as practicing spoken language and gaining experience.

As for Choi Suyoung's slightly reproachful gaze, he just pretended not to see it.

"Gozaimasu."

"Aishiteru."

Fang Cheng recited a few common colloquialisms in an authentic Osaka accent.

All the contents of the entire textbook had actually been memorized thoroughly by him on the day he bought it, relying on the "Focus" and "Speed Reading" skills without a single mistake.

Now he was just reviewing and reciting to deepen his understanding.

Just as he was getting some feel for it, Fang Cheng's heart stirred abruptly.

As if a shackle had been unlocked, inspiration gushed out continuously like bubbling spring water.

At the same time, several prompt messages emerged before his eyes.

[You have reached a certain proficiency in learning a foreign language and successfully mastered a language-type skill]

[Unlocked skill: Japanese Language lv0 (0/100)]

Fang Cheng's eyes were slightly startled.

He only felt that the knowledge points instilled into his mind instantly blended like milk and honey, all thoroughly understood at this moment.

"This kind of effect..."

Feeling the qualitative change produced after mastering the skill, Fang Cheng couldn't help but sigh in praise in a low voice.

His current language level was basically equivalent to an authentic Japanese Language department graduate.

Simple communication should be completely fine, and at least there wouldn't be obvious communication barriers.

Unfortunately...

The skills mastered before the panel was activated seemed to be excluded and could not be displayed.

Otherwise, coupled with the school's compulsory English and his native language which he already mastered, he could instantly unlock three language-type skills.

If he learned another new foreign language and successfully mastered four skills of the same category...

Wouldn't it be possible to try in advance the true effect of synthesizing High Grade, superior quality and above, Epic-level talent?

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's eyes shone brightly, and instead his motivation became even more sufficient.

It was just learning a few more foreign languages.

For him, who possessed high mental attributes and two learning skills, this was not a very difficult matter.

Judging by his current learning speed, it was at least much simpler than bodybuilding and combat.

Chop chop chop!

The kitchen knife danced rapidly on the cutting board, chopping and slicing a side of pork leg meat.

I saw cold light flashing; the blade first gently gouged, then quickly pushed with the hand, and the bone separated from the skin and flesh.

Then, utilizing the bone gaps, the tip of the knife was used to trim away the fascia and lymph nodes at the joints.

Finally, the disassembled pork leg meat was cut into small square pieces.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the stove, skillfully processing the ingredients bought from the morning market.

In the living room behind him, the television screen flickered, broadcasting a foreign horror movie.

Sending out bursts of creepy screams.

With money, of course he couldn't mistreat himself when it came to eating.

Fang Cheng's current meal standard had improved a lot.

It couldn't compare to those star combat athletes, but it basically reached the standard of ordinary athletes.

He finished disassembling the pork hind leg, cleaning the bones thoroughly.

He left two pieces of meat to make stir-fried dishes later, and hid the rest in the refrigerator.

The remaining bone sticks could also be used to make soup.

Fang Cheng prepared to cook a delicious meal tomorrow, take it to the hospital, and tell his mother in person that the surgery fee issue had been resolved.

As for this afternoon?

Looking at the Culinary Arts experience + 2 message emerging before his eyes, Fang Cheng considered inwardly.

He could go bother Majima Goro again, showcase his language talent, and grind his skill proficiency.

This would probably shock him even more than on the level of martial arts.

After coming back, he still had to go to Master Lin's Bone-setting clinic to help out voluntarily at night.

By the way, learn medical techniques like Bone-setting.

Although he was on sick leave, life was still so busy and fulfilling.

Fang Cheng thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of making progress and harvesting gains every day.
