Chapter 26: Physical Progress [025]

"81, 82..."

In the cement yard, Wang Longhu supported himself on one hand, legs together, exerting force purely with his right arm right at the waist, doing the most standard one-handed push-ups.

The long-sleeve shirt on him had long since become soaked, forming a small puddle of water beneath him.

His arms, which were somewhat skinny a few days ago, now have noticeable muscle lines, you can tell he’s someone who exercises regularly.

Before returning to Dong County, Wang Longhu couldn’t even do 30 two-handed push-ups, let alone 80 with just one hand.

This is entirely thanks to the significant improvement in strength and physique.

When he reached 90, Wang Longhu felt he had hit his limit, and could only stand up with sore arms, remove his clothes, and start the 10-minute rest period for each round.

In the sunlight, he was drenched in sweat, his hair wet and clinging to his forehead, and his abdomen showed faint outlines of abs.

After observing the panel, Wang Longhu realized that improving one’s physique doesn’t give you a muscular body but increases personal endurance, explosive power, and bodily potential.

Muscles are related to body fat percentage, which needs to be reduced through exercise; even skinny people can have muscle lines, abs are clearly visible, while fat people’s muscles are wrapped in fat, making them invisible.

In ancient times, generals who could take on ten men at once, wielding a long, heavy knife or hammer, all had a fat-wrapped-muscle physique, without very clear muscles but appearing strong, like a human iron tower.

If Wang Longhu didn’t do fitness or practice External Boxing, and only focused on Internal Boxing, even if his physique was enhanced to 10 points, he would still have a slim and balanced figure.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 1.22]

[Physique: 1.63]

[Spirit: 0.91]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv2 (155/200), Three-Body Pose Lv3 (0/300), Xingyi Boxing (Beng Fist) Lv2 (10/200)]

[Potential Points: 0]

"The proficiency of this fitness skill is really advancing slowly," looking at his panel, Wang Longhu muttered somewhat dissatisfied.

Every point of proficiency requires Wang Longhu to diligently invest time and energy in training.

Among the three skills he currently has, Basic Fitness was Wang Longhu’s earliest exposure, but in terms of proficiency growth speed, Basic Fitness is the slowest.

"Divine Power Express! Is anyone there?"

At this moment, a shout came from the mountain road side, Wang Longhu felt pleasantly surprised, seems like his package had finally arrived.

Although Chang Keng Ding was remote, every household here was recorded with an address, so parcels could find the place via address.

On the day he moved, Wang Longhu changed the delivery address to his grandma’s house for all the parcels he ordered to save trouble.

"Here." Wiping some sweat, Wang Longhu ran out of the yard, reaching the roadside in a few steps and waved at the courier to unload.

"This place is really remote, I couldn’t find it even on Gao De map, only after asking folks in the village downhill did I know where it is," seeing Wang Longhu appear, the courier couldn’t help but complain as he unloaded from the delivery vehicle.

Wang Longhu laughed, "Thanks for your trouble, this place indeed is hard for most people to find."

Moving a big heap of parcels back into the house, the courier didn’t say anything more and quickly drove down the mountain to the next client.

After moving all parcels indoors in batches, Wang Longhu set everything up, then started arranging.

Next to the living room was originally a room for storing miscellaneous items, inside were many things typical of last-century farmer households: bamboo baskets, water jars, hoes and spades, old big television sets, radios, big iron pots for the stove, etc.

Wang Longhu hauled them all into the yard outside, instantly clearing out a big room.

This time, he bought fitness equipment, including a pull-up assembly bar setup, a pair of adjustable dumbbells from 5 to 40 pounds.

A weighted training vest up to 30 pounds, a pair of 10-pound adjustable arm sandbags, and a pair of 20-pound adjustable leg sandbags.

And a hanging leather boxing bag.

These cost over a thousand Yuan, mostly spent on dumbbells and the boxing bag.

The boxing bag’s maximum capacity was 200 pounds, originally priced at 1200 Yuan, but seeing his account still with over 30,000 balance, for saving money, he tearfully bought the unfilled version.

This version of the boxing bag had no filling, equivalent to buying a leather shell, requiring self-filling, but the price is cheaper, only 798.

Considering his rural residence lacking everything but sand, saving some money for groceries was great.

Besides the fitness equipment, the live broadcast sound card, microphone, earphone, phone stand, and a mask of Sun Wukong’s head that covers the whole face during livestreaming also arrived.

Spent half an hour arranging and assembling everything, looking at his crude gym, Wang Longhu nodded in satisfaction, he would be able to livestream here in the future.

"Before the broadband is installed, let’s shoot a video and post it on Douyin as a warm-up for the live broadcast." Wang Longhu took out his phone to film his gym, simultaneously introducing, "Hello everyone, I am a Xingyi Boxing practitioner, you can call me Longhu. Starting from tomorrow, I will share my martial arts practice in the livestream, interested friends are welcome to follow and join in."
