I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 13 Precipitation
For Li Ang now, cycling is just one of the ways on his way to becoming stronger. He also has Tongbeiquan, running and other tasks, so it is impossible to spend all his time on this.

Time is so precious, let alone wasting it on useless social activities.

He thought very clearly that the essence of any social interaction is nothing more than the exchange of value.

His current strength is still relatively limited. Even if he tries to get acquainted with a few great people, they won't take him seriously.

If you have this time and energy, you might as well use it to improve yourself. When you become stronger, you don't need to take the initiative. Every day there will be people who want to treat him to dinner and rush to give him money.

The first thing Li Ang did after returning home was to practice Tongbei Fist. He wanted to know how much more efficient he would be if he practiced systematically compared to the exercises he planned randomly.

It was originally a boring boxing technique, but after mastering it, you can also see that your physical fitness continues to grow with practice, so the motivation to practice is not too strong.

Except for a short break during the afternoon tea time, Li Ang almost never stopped for a moment.

Exercise is inherently addictive, and the endorphins secreted by the body made him seem to have regained the joy of playing games in his childhood.

At sunset, Li Ang finally stopped. He had sensed that the current state of his body was no longer suitable for practicing anymore.

Although his current physique is quite good among his peers, nearly four hours of training still left him exhausted.

He opened his properties panel to view the results of today's efforts.

Name: Li Ang

Strength: 8.00 (+0.03)

Constitution: 10.41 (+0.16)

Reaction: 10.33 (+0.01)

Spirit: 13.60
Breaking point: 0.12
skill:
【Cycling】241/400 (Mastery)
(Characteristics: Lower limb strength and endurance increased by 20%)

【Running】16/200 (skilled)
(Feature: Increase vital capacity by 10%)

[Tongbei Quan] 60/100 (entry level)
What surprised him most was that his [Physique] actually increased by 0.16 in one afternoon.

You must know that before he exercised for a whole day, it only increased by about 0.22. In this conversion, his exercise efficiency increased by about 50%.

This is not a slight improvement. It can be compared to talent. This is definitely an insurmountable gap between geniuses and ordinary people.

In terms of strength, there is still very little increase, and Li Ang can understand it.

It is indeed not easy to improve this aspect by relying solely on bodyweight training. If you want to achieve quick results, you still have to use heavy weights to stimulate your muscles.

Just like some bloggers who really only do street fitness. Their bodies may be very strong, but they will never have large-scale muscles.

In addition, in addition to increasing muscle mass, another way to improve one's strength is to improve one's nerve recruitment ability.

If muscle mass is equal to your absolute strength, then neural recruitment ability is your performance efficiency. The result of multiplying the two is the power you can finally exert.

At the same time, training in this area is more complicated.

Slow speed training, isometric contraction training, explosive strength training, functional training, and heavy weight training can all improve neural recruitment ability.

The Tongbei Fist that Li Ang is practicing now is one of them.

These breakthrough points are still added to [Spirit]. Although [Spirit] cannot be seen or touched, in fact, it can affect all aspects of life.

In addition to improving his understanding when practicing martial arts, his memory, thinking speed, and even daily energy will be improved to a certain extent.

There was no training in the evening, but Li Ang did not waste this time. Instead, he studied various martial arts theories and physiological knowledge. Ordinary people would definitely find these things boring and boring, unable to understand them, and even if they understood them, they would still find them useless.

But for Li Ang now, he experiences something different.

To describe it in simple and easy-to-understand words, he now seems to be enlightened.

He could understand those complex terminology explanations in one go and even understand them.

He can organize some scattered knowledge into a system in his mind.

Even for some mysterious and mysterious terms, he can connect them with the context and make a rough guess.

In fact, most people are willing to learn this kind of easy and useful learning.

It's just that most people don't have such ability.

Li Ang suspected that if he had had such a mind during the college entrance examination, Qingbei would not have been unable to make a breakthrough.

In the midst of extremely immersed yet hearty study, time came late at night unknowingly.

Li Ang stood up and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but it took him two times to reach it. He closed his eyes and calmed down for two seconds before he realized that he was a little dazzled.

Although my [spirit] has become stronger, the power consumption of my brain has also increased further. I still have to take it easy in the future and consider whether my body can bear it.

Before going to bed, Li Ang glanced at his panel and was surprised to find that his [Spirit] had increased by 0.08.

Although compared with physical fitness, improved
It wasn't too much, but at least it made him discover that the way to improve his spirit through training was through high-intensity consumption and squeezing his spirit.

On the afternoon of the third day, Li Ang's [Tongbei Fist] was finally upgraded to the next stage as he wished.

He himself was also a little curious about what characteristics the proficient level [Tongbei Fist] would have.

[Tongbei Fist] 1/200 (skilled)
(Characteristics: Reaction and neural recruitment ability increased by 10%)

Li Ang is quite satisfied with the increase in these two attributes. After all, these two attributes are quite difficult to improve.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the added characteristics of Tongbei Fist are completely designed for actual combat.

In the next few days, Li Ang began to live a fairly regular life again.

In the morning, I train road bikes with Eric and the others, in the afternoon I practice Tongbei Quan, and in the evening I learn theoretical knowledge, mixed with some strength training such as push-ups and squats.

In the meantime, Charles came to see him twice, once to help Uncle Wilson's house, and once to the supermarket in town.

Uncle Wilson went to help him, but declined his tip.

From the repeated labor content, he roughly judged that maybe Uncle Wilson didn't really need help, but just wanted to provide them with a position similar to a work-study program.

He kept this love in his heart, but now that he knew it clearly, he was too embarrassed to go again.

As for Charles's introduction of working part-time as an hourly worker in a supermarket, Li Ang rejected it without even thinking about it.

He's not at the end of his rope yet. Even if he can't get any money, he still has more ways to make money faster. Working in a supermarket is a waste of life.

A regular life often causes time to pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, it’s the eve of the bicycle race.
