A stream of information instantly flowed into Chen Sheng's mind.
Originally only having a vague understanding of the Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng now felt that he understood the principles and the force involved much better.
He couldn't wait to go to the balcony and test out his idea from this morning.
Combining the Three-body Stance with the Xingyi Five Elements Fist.
The Three-body Technique is the foundation of the Xingyi Fist.
The Five Elements Fist and the Twelve Forms Boxing evolve from it.
The training method in the Five Elements Fist also aims to strengthen oneself.
Therefore,
There were many similarities between the two, and they could be executed simultaneously without conflict.
Chen Sheng assumed the posture of the Three-body Technique.
Next,
He looked straight ahead, his left hand falling and changing to a fist while his right hand followed suit by clenching, his left foot stepped forward halfway, making the splitting fist gesture.
Splitting Fist belongs to Metal, nourishing the lungs and strengthening the Qi.
Drilling Punch belongs to Water, strengthening the essence and consolidating the kidneys.
Bashing Fist belongs to Wood, smoothing the liver and clearing the gallbladder.
Cannon Fist belongs to Fire, strengthening the heart and increasing power.
Cross Punch belongs to Earth, strengthening the spleen and stomach.
The Five Elements interact with and restrain each other.
As Chen Sheng executed each one of the movements, he felt as if every corner of his body was trembling.
The more he practiced, the more excited he became, wishing he could continue practicing like this forever.
Three hours later.
Chen Sheng felt his energy was almost depleted.
His movements started to become faster,
the Qi and blood in his body accelerated,
and the breaking air sound between each move gradually grew louder.
In the quiet night, it was particularly noticeable.
Unfortunately,
until the end,
Chen Sheng couldn't produce a single sound.
As for the reason, he attributed it to his physical constitution.
After all, Chen Sheng was not a true Qi-sensor and had not gone through the transformation of the physical body.
He still had some time before he could catch up with Shi Jian, let alone Wu Ran, such monsters.
But Chen Sheng was not discouraged.
On the contrary, he looked forward to the future even more.
He called up the panel.
Seeing the success of tonight's training, Chen Sheng was overjoyed.
All three attributes increased by 0.13.
It was a third more effective than practicing the Three-body Posture alone last night.
Overjoyed, Chen Sheng went to the edge of the balcony to catch a breath and recover his strength.
He looked at Xu Ziwen's wooden house.
It was still pitch dark.
Could it be… that this person went to sweep the grave again?
Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the graveyard.
Sure enough.
He saw a faint light, just leaving the graveyard, and walking along the path in his direction.
With Chen Sheng's current vision, he could barely recognize that figure— it was Xu Ziwen, who was holding a pile of things in his hand, presumably just returning from sweeping the grave.
"This person… is a real saint."
Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
As Xu Ziwen approached, he noticed Chen Sheng, who was on the balcony.
"Hey, Brother Chen, you're practicing martial arts again today."
"Yes."
Chen Sheng smiled and replied.
After a few simple pleasantries, Xu Ziwen prepared to enter the wooden house.
However, at that moment,
it seemed as if he remembered something.
"Brother Chen, wait for me."
After saying that, he entered the wooden house.
Leaving Chen Sheng on the balcony, looking baffled.
About two or three minutes later, Xu Ziwen reappeared, his hands now holding a basket of fruit.
"I was in a hurry when I moved in yesterday, and I haven't had a chance to properly visit you. Please forgive me."
As Xu Ziwen spoke, he placed the fruit basket on the wall.
Such politeness from him made Chen Sheng feel a little embarrassed.
He hadn't even thought about visiting his neighbor.
"Teacher Xu, have you had dinner? Would you like to come up and sit down?"
Chen Sheng sent out an invitation.
But Xu Ziwen repeatedly waved his hand.
"I still need to prepare my lessons, so I won't bother you tonight."
"In a few days, I will definitely visit you on the weekend."
After a few more pleasantries, Xu Ziwen returned to the wooden house.
"What a good person."
Chen Sheng sighed while taking the fruit basket downstairs.
Returning upstairs,
Chen Sheng washed the fruits that Xu Ziwen had brought,
and then he started eating a pear while unpacking the delivery that had just arrived today.
Weighted gear and earplugs.
After unpacking, Chen Sheng tidied up the delivery box and immediately tried on the weighted vest.
The vest was black, and its overall structure was a mesh design to ensure breathability.
There were twenty small pockets around the waist to insert steel bars and adjust the weight.
Chen Sheng put on the vest, fastened the buckles on both sides, and inserted four steel bars, making a total weight of 20 kilograms.
He tried moving around a bit.
There was no feeling of obstruction, and the vest moved smoothly.
However,
20kg was a bit too light for him now.
Moreover, the pressure on his feet and arms was not great.
Chen Sheng then immediately put on the leg weights and weighted wristbands, with a total weight of 30kg.
The pressure was just right and not too much.
After putting on the gear, Chen Sheng felt that his physical strength had almost recovered.
He immediately went to the balcony and started his weighted training to see how effective it would be.
First, push-ups.
When he began, Chen Sheng felt good.
But after doing fifty push-ups, he noticed he was breathing heavily, and his arms began to feel sore and swollen.
One hundred.
Two hundred.
Two hundred and fifty.
Bang!
Chen Sheng lay on the ground, his arms aching unbearably.
Training with the weighted gear doubled the pressure.
But Chen Sheng was extremely excited.
Because he knew that the training effect this time would definitely be much better than before.
Thinking about this,
After a brief rest, he crawled up from the ground and started doing sit-ups.
Two hundred sit-ups.
Four hundred squats.
"Hoo-"
After finishing the training, Chen Sheng lay flat on the balcony.
It was as if he could hear the wailing of his own muscles.
He couldn't wait to check the panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 1.59]
[Agility: 1.31]
[Constitution: 1.66]
[Skill Points: 0.78]
Looking at the changing attributes,
Chen Sheng couldn't help but smile widely.
His strength increased by 0.09, while agility and constitution each increased by 0.02.
Compared to yesterday, the effect had almost doubled.
Though it seemed insignificant,
It would greatly shorten the time it took for Chen Sheng to become stronger.
After all,
The stronger his body, the faster the effect of the improvements would be.
The only thing that troubled Chen Sheng was his agility attribute.
The other two attributes had specific ways to increase them.
But there was none for the agility attribute.
At this rate, the gap between attributes would only widen, inevitably causing problems.
However,
Chen Sheng thought about it, but couldn't figure out a solution.
He could only take one step at a time.
After resting,
He got up from the ground and went to the living room.
He took off the weighted gear and went straight to the bathroom.
After taking a shower,
Chen Sheng went to the living room and took out the earplugs he had just bought today.
The moment his ears were plugged, he felt the whole world become incredibly quiet.
At night,
There were always some faint noises outside the house.
After his senses were enhanced, Chen Sheng was deeply troubled.
Now,
He could finally sleep soundly.
With that thought,
Chen Sheng went to the bedroom and turned off the light.
Soon,
Soft snoring could be heard in the room.
