Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 165 - 144 Lin Chuqiao’s Ability_2

"How is Pan Wendi’s health now?"

Fang Cheng took a washbowl and a towel out of the bag and handed them to Lin Chuqiao.

Lin Chuqiao set down the broom, quickly thanked him and took them, responding:

"His physical condition seems to be okay for now, he should be able to recover after a few days of rest."

Then she filled a basin with water from the kitchen tap.

First, she wiped Pan Wendi’s face while he was unconscious, then with Fang Cheng’s assistance, they laid out new mats and bedding to make him as comfortable as possible.

After finishing all this, Lin Chuqiao’s brows were still tightly furrowed, her expression troubled.

"I’m just worried about any mental issues for my cousin, since his abilities have awakened not long ago..."

Hearing this, Fang Cheng asked with some confusion:

"Do ability users commonly encounter such situations?"

"Yes."

Lin Chuqiao nodded slightly, her tone grave as she explained:

"Continuously using abilities in a short period could not only deplete physical strength but also impose a great burden on the mental state. At the lightest, it could cause dizziness and unconsciousness, and at worst, it could affect their sanity, even leading to insanity and frenzy."

"So, we must always exercise restraint. I suggest you learn meditation, primarily to enhance spiritual power and minimize negative impacts..."

As Lin Chuqiao explained the issues to be aware of when using abilities, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but recall the battle at the warehouse with the Experimental Body that night.

He seemed to have lost his senses in a frenzy of slaughter due to overusing the Skill Effect "Sword Blade Storm."

At this, Lin Chuqiao showed a look of regret, murmuring to herself:

"I made a mistake this time, placing too much trust in my own abilities, never expecting that the other party was a lunatic, even refusing matters of mutual benefit..."

Fang Cheng stood by, listening without offering any opinion.

The people they encountered tonight, he was well aware, were evidently members of the Noah Organization lurking on Yong’an Island.

As for the mysterious man in the black trench coat, he was also the peculiar person Fang Cheng had noticed while gathering information at the dock.

Seeing Lin Chuqiao somewhat unaware of the depths of the Noah Organization yet precisely able to locate their base.

Fang Cheng speculated that this must be related to her abilities.

After blaming herself for a moment, Lin Chuqiao suddenly looked up at Fang Cheng:

"I’m really thankful for your help this time, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do..."

Her tone was full of gratitude, her eyes slightly glistening, appearing very sincere.

Fang Cheng just smiled and said little.

He had intervened tonight mainly just to repay a favor.

Earlier in the mountain while chatting, Lin Chuqiao appeared extremely anxious about Pan Wendi not returning.

After returning to the training base, they did not find any sign of Pan Wendi’s return in their dormitory.

It was as if Lin Chuqiao had a premonition, and she immediately left the building rushing towards the mountain base.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng then made some preparations for handling danger, following her all the way.

Ultimately, he chanced upon and saved them.

After speaking a few words with Lin Chuqiao, Fang Cheng then spread some takeout dishes on the table.

They had been busy all evening, not even managing to eat, which really shouldn’t have happened.

However, Lin Chuqiao had no appetite, and Pan Wendi still hadn’t awakened.

This sumptuous dinner of fish and meat was essentially all consumed by Fang Cheng alone.

After finishing the last bits of leftovers like a whirlwind, a prompt flashed before him.

"Gourmet Experience +1."

Fang Cheng immediately concentrated on the pale blue light screen that appeared.

The battle earlier had been too tense, leaving him no time to check the panel.

Besides increasing Sanda and Jujitsu skills by 50 and 26 points respectively.

The most notable was the prompt about the Breathing Technique skill.

[You have used the Breathing Technique in actual combat for the first time, successfully withstanding a powerful enemy, Experience +30]

Fang Cheng’s eyes shimmered with understanding.

From the exchange with that trench-coated man, it proved that the Breathing Technique not only has miraculous effects in health cultivation, but it also possesses certain strengths when resisting the forceful impacts from enemies.

Especially since the power exerted by the opponent, similar to manipulating force fields, was nearly akin to the extreme water pressure Fang Cheng experienced while training deep in the ocean.

This gave Fang Cheng a sense of caution and preparedness.

Perhaps, he could continue diving deep, deepening the training locale, to adapt to such high-intensity attacks.

If he encounters enemies with similar long-range manipulation abilities in the future, he could handle them more adeptly.

Fang Cheng thought about how to perfect his future training plan.

Lin Chuqiao was also lost in her thoughts, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly making some decision.

The two watched over Pan Wendi lying on the bed, without much conversation.

Inside and outside the room, it was quiet and still, with occasional distant police siren sounds wafting over.

It seemed like the island police were searching everywhere for the "culprits" behind the explosion.

Fang Cheng didn’t plan to rush back to the training base overnight.

Apart from being concerned about potential mishaps, it was also for safety reasons.

At least wait until Pan Wendi wakes up.

......................

Early in the morning, a fresh breeze blew through the window into the tranquil house.

Particles of dust fluttered throughout the air, sparkling golden in the sunlight.

They illuminated the face of the woman sitting in the chair, her eyes slightly closed, making her look radiant and extraordinarily beautiful.

"Creak."

Fang Cheng pushed the door open and saw Lin Chuqiao asleep, shaking his head silently.

Using her powers continuously last night must have also taken a toll on her.

Even after removing her makeup and revealing her natural appearance, one could still see the signs of fatigue on her face.

With many things on her mind, it wasn’t until nearly dawn that she relaxed and fell asleep unknowingly.

Fang Cheng, however, was lively and energetic.

He had just returned from an underwater training session, emitting a vibrant aura from the ocean.

He had stayed up until five in the morning and had not spotted any enemy movements.

Fang Cheng guessed that the enemy might have given up the pursuit, so as soon as it was still dark, he went out for morning training.

After leaving the training camp base, there was no need to consciously disguise and avoid the eyes and ears of the True Thought Society.

He had spent nearly 4 hours in the sea and returned before 9 o’clock.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng opened his panel again to check the progress of his main skills for the day.

[Push-ups lv2 (468/500)]

[Deep Squat lv2 (415/500)]

[Pile Skill lv1 (13/250)]

[Breathing Technique lv0 (54/100)]

His gaze swept over them and finally settled on the Push-ups skill, feeling slightly excited:

"Push a little more tomorrow, and after reaching the Grandmaster Level, my strength will surely become much stronger!"

Perhaps awakened by the noise of Fang Cheng opening the door, Lin Chuqiao suddenly opened her eyes, appearing very alert.

Upon seeing Fang Cheng’s face, she immediately relaxed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stood up.

Fang Cheng looked towards Pan Wendi, who was still lying in bed, and asked:

"How is he? Feeling better?"

Lin Chuqiao’s expression relaxed and she replied softly:

"He just woke up once a little while ago."

Fang Cheng nodded in relief upon hearing this.

Pan Wendi was a good person, and knowing he was alright was naturally great news.

He then asked:

"Do you plan to let him stay here to recover?"

Lin Chuqiao shook her head:

"With Wendi’s condition, it’s not suitable to continue staying here. I plan to buy a boat ticket later and send him back to East Capital to recover tomorrow."

"Didn’t you say you wanted to infiltrate the True Thought Society to find a way to approach your meditation target?"

"Let it be, the cultivation matter can be figured out later."

Lin Chuqiao still shook her head, her tone resolute:

"I originally used predictive divination and found out there is a mysterious organization involved with the True Thought Society, so I wanted to use my abilities to encourage conflicts between them, and then profit from their strife like ’a fisherman benefits from the snipe and clam grapple.’"

"But I never expected those people to be crazy; now, I can’t even predict what they might do next..."

As Fang Cheng listened to Lin Chuqiao reveal her abilities and plans,

He nodded slightly, feeling that her decision was more sensible.

Neither the Noah Organization nor the True Thought Society was a simple force.

If it weren’t for wanting to learn more about meditation, he would have also planned to leave this place of disputes early.

Seeing everything was safe here, Fang Cheng then bid farewell to Lin Chuqiao.

"I’m going back to the training camp first, we’ll keep in touch."

Watching Fang Cheng turn around and prepare to leave,

Lin Chuqiao suddenly called out softly:

"Fang Cheng."

"What?"

Fang Cheng turned around to look at her, slightly surprised.

"Thank you."

Lin Chuqiao’s eyes shimmered, her smile bright.

Fang Cheng also gave a slight smile, waved goodbye, and then leapt over the wall to leave.

This time when he landed, he saw a little toddler in split pants staring at him dumbfounded.

It seemed like the toddler took him for a wall-climbing burglar from TV.

Fang Cheng gave a light hiss at him before swiftly striding forward and running towards the training camp base.
