Start the liver experience with push-ups

Exercising at the bottom of the sea is not an easy task.

Due to the resistance and pressure of the water, the body will bear additional loads and challenges, increasing the difficulty of the exercise.

Moreover, the deeper you dive, the difficulty increases exponentially.

What needs to be overcome is not only the water pressure, but also the dangers brought about by lack of oxygen, claustrophobia, and turbulent undercurrents.

Among the training programs for divers is carrying weight blocks and practicing rapid descent and ascent using guide ropes.

What Fang Cheng wanted to do was not that simple.

He planned to dive into the depths of the sea and use this high-pressure environment to perform regular physical exercises as if he were on land.

That is, to carry out "Convict Conditioning" training at the bottom of the sea.

The cape splits the waves and rises high.

The churning waves below beat against the reefs and shatter into pieces.

Then they surge again and again, never stopping for a moment.

A flock of seabirds hovered near the cape, sometimes flying low over the water, sometimes soaring high in the blue sky.

The cries of "Oh" intertwined with the roar of the waves, as if playing a symphony.

Standing on the top of the cliff, you can overlook the entire sparkling bay and feel the immense power of the sea.

A strange emotion surged in Fang Cheng's heart, and he lowered his head to stare at the churning waves at the bottom of the cape.

Even for a superhuman, it requires great courage.

"Those monsters can do it, and so can I!"

Fang Cheng whispered to himself, his eyes becoming extremely firm after making the decision.

Then he took off his clothes, pants, shoes, and glasses, and hid them under a rock.

Then he walked to the edge of the cliff, took several deep breaths, and adjusted his physical state.

Then he stepped forward with his right foot and gently pushed off with his left foot, and the whole person shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Leaping out of the cliff for several meters, the sea breeze blew against his face, as if gently lifting his body.

In this feeling of weightlessness, Fang Cheng adjusted his posture and focused his eyes on the sea surface.

Immediately afterwards, his leaping body fell rapidly under the influence of gravity.

The sound of the wind whistling constantly filled his ears, and the whole world seemed to be tilting downwards.

A flock of startled seagulls flapped their wings and swept past him.

The speed of free fall became faster and faster.

He was about to reach the sea surface.

Fang Cheng tensed all his muscles, and immediately twisted his waist and back, making a continuous twisting somersault.

After a brief pause in the air to slow down the falling speed.

He plunged headfirst into the sparkling sea in the standard posture of a diver.

Splash!

Glug glug —

As the water splashed, his entire body quickly sank into the sea.

External sounds were completely isolated, turning into a series of bubbling sounds.

Fang Cheng kept his mouth closed, opened his eyes, and looked around at the scene under the sea, adapting to the new environment of being completely surrounded by water.

Then he looked down at the gray and white gravel that appeared on the seabed.

Then he waved his arms and used his muscle strength to adjust his posture in the water, and plunged down.

The sunlight shone down through the water surface, and the light on the seabed reflected a shimmering aqua color.

Fang Cheng stepped on his feet, as flexible as flippers, and continued to dive down.

It was like passing through a partition and entering a familiar and strange fantasy world.

Schools of colorful fish swam around him, passing through, making bubbling sounds.

Below, there were also patches of sea anemones swaying their soft tentacles, as if welcoming new partners to join.

The surrounding scenery created a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.

As the depth increased, the water pressure increased, and the oxygen content also decreased rapidly.

The surrounding creatures gradually became fewer, and began to completely quiet down.

When he reached a position about ten meters deep.

Fang Cheng's feet had already stepped on the gravel on the seabed, stirring up a cloud of gray and white mist.

If under unequipped conditions, an ordinary person could reach this depth, the oxygen carried in the lungs would inevitably be almost exhausted.

Before long, he would need to resurface and replace with fresh air.

Fang Cheng, however, held his breath and seemed to have plenty of energy to spare.

He first calmly waved his hands and feet, feeling the magnitude of the resistance brought by the sea water.

Then he bent down, lay on the seabed covered with volcanic ash and fine gravel, and began to practice the first style of Convict Conditioning.

Standard two-handed push-ups.

Bend your arms and elbows, and lie down close to the ground.

Extend your arms and straighten your elbows, straighten your chest and lift your back.

The sea water wrapped around his body, giving him an unusually bloated feeling.

Every movement seemed relatively slow, like slow motion.

Because when the muscles resist the resistance brought by the sea water, they must also bear additional loads and do more work.

The pressure at a depth of ten meters should be equivalent to about 2 atmospheres.

That is, every square centimeter of area will be subjected to a pressure of about 9.8 to 10 kilograms.

In such an environment, even doing the most ordinary exercise on land is like carrying an extremely high weight and performing extreme exercise.

Fang Cheng lay on the seabed, doing continuous two-handed push-ups.

After spending nearly two minutes, when he reached the 35th one.

A prompt message immediately appeared in the sea water in front of him.

[Push-up experience +1]

In the stirred-up gray and white mist, several hermit crabs crawled out of the gravel beside him and quickly drifted into the distance.

Fang Cheng stood up slowly on tiptoes, and a string of bubbles gushed out of his nostrils.

Trying physical exercise in the seabed environment for the first time, the efficiency is indeed higher than on land.

If it were placed during regular morning exercises.

With his physical fitness, to increase 1 point of experience, he would have to complete at least 60 one-handed fist push-ups to achieve the same effect.

However.

This still did not reach the level he imagined.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly, holding his breath and thinking.

Because in the sea water, while the body is subjected to resistance, it will also enjoy the buoyancy of being lifted upwards.

When the body moves downwards, it will indeed bear greater pressure load and need to overcome more resistance.

But when straightening the body upwards, it will more or less borrow the buoyancy of the sea water, reducing a lot of burden.

"The current depth is not enough..."

For ordinary people, it may already be the limit.

For his monster-like body, it is far from reaching the proper intensity.

Fang Cheng raised his head and looked into the depths of the ocean.

The brightness of the light here is already considered relatively dim.

Following the geological structure of the seabed that slopes downwards, volcanic ash and plankton float everywhere.

It appears hazy and unreal.

And hundreds of meters away, it seems to be completely swallowed by darkness, vaguely revealing a mysterious aura.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he used Eagle Eye Vision to remove the obscuring mist.

A very magnificent landscape immediately appeared in front of him.

That was actually a huge crack that broke away from the seabed.

Deep and unpredictable, stretching across, like a scar left on Yong'an Island, hiding unknown secrets.

After seeing this scene, Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly, and immediately moved his hands and feet, swimming towards that side.

The closer he got to the crack, the less silt and sessile organisms accumulated on the seabed.

Until he stepped on a gray and white rock formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash.

Feeling the water flowing forward, Fang Cheng slowly walked to the edge of the crack and leaned his head to look down.

In the pitch-black and silent sea trench abyss, there was nothing but black.

Even using Eagle Eye Vision, he couldn't see the end.

It was like a bottomless cave, revealing a piercing coldness.

And under this seemingly calm and silent surface, there were hidden currents of unpredictable changes.

The surrounding seawater was being affected by some immense suction force, ceaselessly and endlessly pouring into it.

This scene was like a masterpiece of nature.

If someone with thalassophobia were fortunate enough to see it, they would probably experience heart palpitations and faint on the spot.

Fang Cheng didn't feel much fear; instead, his adrenaline surged.

He became unusually excited, a strong sense of anticipation revealed in his eyes.

He stood on a piece of volcanic rock that jutted out abruptly towards the seabed fissure.

Fang Cheng steadied himself, slowly spreading his arms.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

He looked up at the sea surface, which seemed like the clouds, dozens of meters above him.

The faint light shone down, as if summoning the great power of nature to help his body break through its limits once again.

The water from all directions surged towards his body in response to the summons.

It heavily compressed every inch of his skin, every cell, causing obvious pressure in his chest and ears.

This pressure not only made his body uncomfortable but also brought a feeling of suffocation and dizziness, as if he were imprisoned by the water, unable to move.

"Let's do a set of squats to warm up first."

Experiencing the resistance brought by the immense water pressure around him, Fang Cheng silently activated his Focus skill, officially entering a state of training.

Beside the dark and deep sea trench, the rocks were rugged and the cliffs protruded.

A naked, muscular figure stood in this desperate situation that ordinary people could not reach, doing weight-bearing exercises that exceeded human limits.

"…"

"35."

"36."

The figure steadily bent his knees and squatted down, slowly straightening up to stand.

Suddenly, his shoulders swayed slightly, and his body leaned backward, as if he had lost his balance due to the current.

But in an instant, he exerted force from his waist and back, twisting back hard and standing firm again.

Then, he continued to do squats steadily and powerfully.

"37."

"38."

"…"

"50."

He persisted until he reached 50, successfully completing a set of exercises.

Fang Cheng exhaled slightly, a string of tiny bubbles emerging from his nostrils.

In the dark gray seabed, the panel flickered with a faint blue light, showing the gains from the skill practice just now.

[Squat Experience +6]

Although he did fewer repetitions, the efficiency was more than ten times that of normal training on land.

This was because the water depth at Fang Cheng's current location was more than forty meters, equivalent to the pressure of five atmospheres.

This kind of exercise was not simply like carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight on land.

Instead, every inch of muscle, bone, and even internal organs of the body was constantly enduring the pressure caused by the huge water pressure, overcoming this unimaginable resistance.

While the efficiency was greatly improved, there were also great dangers in exercising in this place.

For example, he would occasionally suffer attacks from turbulent undercurrents, and if he was not careful, he would be swept away and fall into the abyss under the fissure.

This was the reason why Fang Cheng did not choose to do single-leg squats.

Of course, in the process of adapting to the instability of the water flow, he was also exercising his body's coordination and balance ability.

After completing a set of squat training.

Fang Cheng only rested for half a minute, then reached out his hands, bent down and grabbed the protruding part of the rock under his feet.

Then, he slowly lowered his body into the fissure, using the rock as a support point, and began to practice one-handed pull-ups.

If he were in the previous normal position, the buoyancy of the seawater would offset part of his weight, and the effect of practicing pull-ups would definitely be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, this trench produced a suction force, which greatly reduced the upward buoyancy, giving the body a feeling of being suspended in the air.

In this way, Fang Cheng tightened his arms and back muscles in the surging undercurrent, constantly drooping and stretching.

After completing 50 repetitions, he then practiced hanging leg raises in the same way.

After that, back bridges, handstand push-ups, push-ups, and each of the Six Arts of the Prisoner were used to gradually test the training effect.

When all the movements were successfully completed in five sets, about an hour had passed.

Having the talent of "Water Breathing" allowed Fang Cheng to hold his breath in the water for far beyond the limits of ordinary people.

Although he did not have gills, like fish, to directly filter and absorb oxygen from the seawater.

It also made him seem like a whale, with an extremely efficient way of breathing.

Whales are mammals and also rely on their lungs to breathe.

They have a large lung capacity, and the concentration of hemoglobin and myoglobin is also higher than that of humans, which enables them to complete oxygen reserves in a few minutes, and then they can maintain long-term diving activities.

For example, an adult blue whale can breathe underwater for nearly 30 minutes, while a sperm whale can even hold its breath underwater for two hours.

During the exercise, Fang Cheng never returned to the surface to change the air in his lungs.

Instead, he kept doing training to test his own limits.

As the amount of exercise increased, blood circulation accelerated, and the body surface temperature rose.

Fang Cheng even had a vague feeling.

The pores all over his body seemed to be participating in breathing, able to draw weak oxygen from the seawater.

It was only when he was doing the sixth set of push-up exercises.

He suddenly felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on his chest, making it a little difficult to breathe.

Then his heart beat slower, and his limbs began to weaken.

Fang Cheng realized that he was approaching his limit, so he immediately withdrew from the focused state.

Then, holding his breath, he pushed hard on the seabed rock with his feet, using buoyancy to control the rhythm and slowly swim up.

As he got closer to the surface, the surrounding light became brighter, and the seawater gradually faded from gray-black to emerald green.

The sounds from the outside world gradually became noisy, the sound of bubbles bursting, and the sound of schools of fish swimming by, seemed particularly clear.

Until he broke through the rippling surface of the sea, all the scenes and sounds instantly magnified several times, as if returning to a dynamic world of light and shadow full of upgrades.

A large group of seagulls hovered in the sky, making clear calls.

The noisy tide also echoed the bird calls, one after another.

"Huff — — — — — —"

Fang Cheng took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the freedom and joy of being released from extreme suppression.

The blue sky and towering promontory in front of him also showed a flickering panel.

[Focus Experience +3]

[Push-up Experience +36]

[Squat Experience +32]

[Leg Raise Experience +21]

[Pull-up Experience +23]

[Back Bridge Experience +20]

[Handstand Push-up Experience +27]

Looking at the experience points gained from this underwater weight-bearing training.

Fang Cheng wiped his wet face and hair, revealing a gratified smile.

Especially the progress of the push-up skill was particularly eye-catching.

[Push-up lv2 (347/500)]

At this rate, it should be able to successfully reach LV3 Grandmaster level in a few days.

The efficiency was so high, it was as if he had returned to the initial training, even far beyond.

And there was also a benefit, he could completely isolate the prying eyes of outsiders.

Feeling the fatigue of his body strengthened by the change in air pressure, Fang Cheng looked up at the height of the rising sun.

It was already noon, and he did not intend to dive back to the bottom of the sea to continue training.

"I'll come again tomorrow."

Fang Cheng muttered to himself, a new idea forming in his mind.

Next time, he might try practicing stance work and breathing techniques underwater.
