Wow--

In the dark corridor, there was the sound of the iron bars being opened.

The lights in the room were bright, Television was playing the latest popular drama, and there was a burst of lines.

Grandma Zhou, who had returned from Lone Peak Temple praying and chanting sutras, was wearing reading glasses and sitting on the Living Room sofa, staring intently at the male and female protagonists on the screen.

Fang Cheng walked out of the door, turned around and looked at Zhou Xiumei who was sending him away, and warned:

"Remember tonight, don't forget to turn off Iron Gate again."

Zhou Xiumei nodded "Yeah", with a slight blush on his cheeks, and then said softly:

"I will remember it, and you have to be careful yourself."

Fang Cheng smiled and replied:

"There are so many policemen guarding downstairs, we can at least have a peaceful sleep tonight."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Xiumei, Fang Cheng took out the key and walked to his home.

With a "squeak" sound, he pushed the door open and entered.

In the darkness, there was silence in the room.

The furniture and furnishings are the same as before leaving, unchanged and unchanged.

Fang Cheng did not turn on the light.

Instead, he pushed Gold-rimmed Glasses on the bridge of his nose, then walked quietly to Balcony, and looked at the situation downstairs through the window Glass.

Although the rain has lightened up, the police officers on duty are still there.

You can vaguely see three plainclothes detectives sitting in a car, eating instant noodles.

According to Zhou Yongnian, this blockade will last for at least three days.

The specific details depend on whether there are any so-called "sources of infection" in Sleeve Building.

Of course, a few police officers cannot stop someone from coming in and out at will.

But when I think of the two Special Search Team Specialist and Fang Cheng who appeared at noon, I can't help but feel worried.

From the overheard words, we can deduce the general content of the mission that the two people came here to perform.

In addition to helping Criminal Investigation Team inspect the scene and confirm that there are no other hidden "monsters".

It seems that more of them are coming for Masked Man who fought with Ghoul last night.

That is--Fang Cheng himself!

Tick tock, tick tock.

The raindrops slid slowly along the surface of Glass, and Street seemed to be covered with a dark and hazy mist.

It was also dark inside the house. Fang Cheng stood in front of the window, thinking silently.

When I looked up, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Red Light, which seemed to be flickering slightly in the building opposite.

It seems... someone is using equipment like Night Vision Goggles to observe the scene here at Sleeve Building.

Fang Cheng felt a shiver in his heart, then kept calm and slowly closed the curtains.

Then turn around and walk to Living Room, and press the light switch button on the wall.

Click.

The pale yellow warm light instantly brightens the dark Rented Apartment.

Fang Cheng opened Television, sat on the sofa, and watched the soap opera next door that Zhou Xiumei and Grandma Zhou were also watching.

My eyes were fixed on the screen as the couple played a bitter love story, but I was thinking about my own things in my heart.

Although it is not certain whether people from Special Search Team are staying around to monitor.

But the little Red Light I saw just now reminded Fang Cheng.

In order to prevent the other party from being induced, he did not linger and looked carefully.

At a quick glance, I could only vaguely see a vague figure in a room in the building opposite.

Fang Cheng tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

No matter what the real situation is.

In this environment where you may be exposed to prying eyes at any time, it is best for Training Plan to temporarily suspend it for a while.

At least, corresponding adjustments must be made.

Lest Physical Training, which is too shocking to the world, be accidentally discovered by others and reveal the secret.

What's more, after Sleeve Building was blocked, the food stored at home could not guarantee the nutritional supply required for high-intensity exercise.

If you just order takeout or make large purchases, it will inevitably arouse police suspicion.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly.

A light blue light screen immediately appeared in front of the eyes, blocking the Television screen.

Looking at the skills listed on Panel, after checking them repeatedly, my eyes fell on two of them.

[Speed Reading Lv1(203/250)]

[Tai Chi lv0(78/100)]

Combined with the current environment and actual conditions, these two skills are obviously most suitable for you to practice during the lockdown.

Tai Chi, was originally in the plan to strengthen practice.

Speed Reading, in fact, it was close to Level Up a month ago.

It's just that after synthesizing "Omniscient Language" Talent, I never focused on learning, so I was negligent.

Now that you have plenty of time, you can take advantage of the trend to break through skills and further improve Spirit Attribute, or get a new Skill Special Effect.

So...

Next, just focus on these two skills and try to achieve a breakthrough in a short time.

With a good plan in mind, Fang Cheng immediately stood up, turned off Television, and walked into the bedroom.

Looking at the Ippon textbooks and academic works stacked on the bookshelf.

Then select two thick tomes and extract them.

"World History" and "Criminal Psychology".

These two books are extracurricular readings. I used to flip through a few pages when I had free time, but now I can read them all thoroughly.

Fang Cheng put the book on the table, sat down, and looked like he was preparing for self-study.

Then he looked out the dark window and closed the bedroom curtains.

Then, he opened the title page of "World History", his eyes fell on the catalog, and he said silently in his heart:

"Speed Reading skill, activate."

In an instant, Fang Cheng's eyes calmed down and he immediately entered a learning state.

His fingers quickly twisted the pages of the book.

Hua Hua Hua--

The continuous sound of turning pages began immediately, with the page turning every three seconds.

At the same time, Rapid Eye Movement was writing, scanning the dense text on the paper back and forth.

In a little more than half an hour, the thick Ippon book has been turned to the last page.

[Speed Reading Experience+2]

"Huh..."

Fang Cheng took a breath and felt very relaxed.

The biggest benefit of using a mental skill alone is that the experience efficiency is approximately doubled.

With my current Spirit Attribute, I can still maintain a relatively focused mental state even if I don't use Focus Skill.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the surrounding environment must be quiet enough so that you can devote yourself to learning so wholeheartedly.

Fang Cheng After reading, close your eyes and recall a certain page or paragraph in the book.

I can recall at least about 80% of the specific content.

Compared with the past, where I could only memorize the outline of everything, the effect has improved a lot.

Obviously, after breaking through 40 points Spirit Attribute, his own Memory power has also been greatly improved.

Take a break.

Fang Cheng then opened the second book "Criminal Psychology" and continued to practice the "Speed Reading" skill.

About three hours later.

Snap.

The book was closed, Fang Cheng took a long breath and gently rubbed his forehead.

Several lines of Prompt Information with increased experience floated before my eyes.

[Speed Reading Experience+7]

[Speed Reading Lv1(210/250)]

After reading two thick academic works three times in a row, it can be said that they are already familiar to me, as if they are engraved in my mind.

Just recall a piece of content and Fang Cheng can accurately grasp the sentence and recite it skillfully.

Even after comparing it with the book, there are almost no differences.

The slight disadvantage is that every time you read it more than once, you will gain less and less experience.

The first time you read it, the experience is +2; the second time you read it, the experience is +1; the third time, the two books add up to only 1 point of experience.

It is estimated that by the fourth time, there will be basically no experience gain.

There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!

After all, I have completely memorized the entire book.

Fang Cheng raised his head and glanced at the stacks of textbooks, dictionaries and literary works on the bookshelf.

In the next two days, you can read these books again and keep them all in your mind, and you should be able to Level Up smoothly.

I just don't know what kind of outstanding effect Master Level's "Speed Reading" will have?

After feeling a little tired, Fang Cheng put away the book, stood up, and stretched beautifully.

Then he looked at the window blocked by the curtains, and a pair of pupils hidden behind the lenses shone slightly.

Although I don't know what Special Search Team Specialist Special Abilities actually has, whether it has mastered such heaven-defying skills as "clairvoyance".

Just be careful and you can never go wrong.

Now that I have been studying hard for several hours, I naturally need to exercise and stretch my muscles.

Calling Tai Chi shouldn't be too much, right?

Fang Cheng waved his arms and kicked his legs.

Just play a set of 24-Form Ma Family Tai Chi slowly in the small bedroom.

Each move has a certain degree of advance and retreat. It looks soft, but it is very Xiaosa elegant.

Because there is no emphasis on strength as in boxing training in the past, and the pursuit of a one-hit kill.

Fang Cheng On the contrary, it feels like the more you practice, the smoother it becomes, and the more you practice, the more relaxed you become.

The body shape slowly stretches according to the moves and routines, like a cloud floating in the wind, or like a gurgling stream.

Completed in one go, uninterrupted.

The whole body feels extremely relaxed and natural.

Gradually, even my mood began to settle down.

All kinds of Danger hidden in the external environment, and many anxious thoughts accumulated in the heart, are all constantly dissolving and passing away with the flowing movements.

During this Fist Technique practice of deliberately playing slowly, a feeling that I had never experienced before came to my mind.

Fang Cheng suddenly remembered the usual teachings of Ma Jianguo and Wu Datong, and slowly gained a deeper understanding in his heart.

Tai Chi is a martial art that pays equal attention to health Fist Technique.

In the process of cultivation, "slow practice" is regarded as a vital principle.

This training method is not only about Diligence skills, but also contains profound Taoist philosophical thoughts.

That is to say, using softness to overcome hardness and using stillness to brake, Yin-Yang complement each other, Unity of Inner and Outer.

Reflected in the moves, soft and slow movements are used to deal with tough and impetuous attacks, thereby achieving the effect of leveraging force and striking afterward.

Various Combat techniques from ancient to modern times, both at home and abroad, all pursue strength and speed, stressing the victory of the big over the small, the fast over the slow, and the strong over the weak.

Only Tai Chi does the opposite and looks at the size, speed, strength and weakness of confrontation from a dialectical point of view. He believes that there is no eternal and impermanent strength and weakness. When the strong reaches a certain level, it will become weak, and when the weak reaches a certain point, it can defeat the strong.

So if you want to truly master this special Fist Technique, you can't think about how to defeat your opponent as quickly as you can with Boxing and Sanda.

We must abandon the inherent habits that have been formed for a long time, and develop a calm and unhurried spirit and state of mind that will remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain.

It is not easy to do this.

As the old saying goes, "Tai Chi doesn't go out for ten years."

What I mean is that the Tai Chi practice takes a very long time from Basic Skills, to confrontation practice, to facing the enemy and challenging the enemy.

First of all, you must learn Standing Meditation and routine moves to overcome the stiffness of your own limbs and achieve coherent, smooth and flexible movements.

Then there is the practice of Tai Chi Push Hands, a two-player battle, mastering the listening, connecting, leading, transforming, and sending energies, and constantly verifying what you have learned. This requires a lot of effort.

If you want to reach a higher level, you can also use Tai Chi's techniques in fierce actual combat, but you must not stick to the moves themselves. Instead, you must forget all the moves and face the enemy with your heart.

Fang Cheng has the assistance of Panel, and you can make great progress every time you practice.

Now the technique has become extremely proficient, and it is time to reach a breakthrough and reach a higher level.

Through Fist Technique practicing more slowly than usual, Fang Cheng vaguely figured it out, but it was not very clear.

As soon as I thought about this, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I had some concerns in my heart.

"Focus, turn on!"

With a silent recitation, all surrounding environmental noise quickly faded away.

Fang Cheng It's like entering a space that belongs only to you.

Focusing on the front, the man stood tall and tall, like a hill.

This man's head almost reached the ceiling, his skin was blood red, and his naked muscles were as developed as dozens of interlaced Rebar, full of a sense of oppression.

It was the powerful enemy that Fang Cheng had fought before, the terrifying power of Experimental Subject.

I saw this old rival rolling his bell-like eyes and grinning with a mouth full of white teeth.

Then it roared like a beast, suddenly waved its big hand like a dustpan, clenched it into a fist and smashed it hard.

This time.

Fang Cheng did not dodge, nor did he collide with the opponent head-on. He just hit Tai Chi leisurely.

When Experimental Subject's fist was about to attack in front of him, his body immediately made almost instinctive response measures.

He chose to take half a step in the direction of the opponent's punch and turned his waist sideways.

Then he gently caught his fist, and with the help of the inertia brought by the impact, he added a little Traction power, instantly turning his attack into a weak weapon, deviating from the direction, and finally only hitting the air.

Experimental Subject missed the blow, and immediately let out a violent roar, trying to twist his body and turn around to kill him.

Fang Cheng took the initiative to lean on him at this time. Following the force of his retreat, he suddenly became energetic, his arms trembled, and he stumbled against the opponent, almost falling over.

Experimental Subject couldn't help but become even more furious and attacked madly again, like a mountain crushing him.

But Fang Cheng still had no fluctuations in his eyes, as if he was facing the calmest lake surface calmly.

Gradually, all the Tai Chi moves that were skillfully performed seemed to be forgotten, and they only changed with the changes in the movements and postures of the imaginary enemy.

Pushing and giving way with both hands, it feels like the sea and sky are vast and unrestrained.

The body moves backward and forward, like a stream of water, shapeless and at ease with the situation.

Just like what a certain martial saint said.

The water is always relaxed, but it is always ready to rush. While it seems to be waiting calmly, it never gives up its flowing nature.

It can be water in a cup, water in a pot, water in a bottle, as still as still water, or as moving as a fountain.

When you hit the water hard, the water won't hurt because it looks so weak, but it can penetrate the hardest substances.

Fang Cheng Raised his hands and waved his palms, raised his knees and stepped forward. His random movements unfolded slowly like clouds and flowing water.

It seemed like I was typing Tai Chi leisurely, but I entered a mysterious state of enlightenment.

At the same time, Prompt Information whose experience increased one by one also flowed by like running water.

Suddenly, Panel flashed a burst of extremely dazzling light.

[Congratulations, you have deeply understood the secret of Tai Chi, and your skills have reached Expert Level]

[Tai Chi lv1(0/250)]

[Get Enhancement Reward, Skill Special Effect"Neutralizing Force"]
