nChapter 44: Wang Xiong’s Guidance

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

n“Give me a week, okay?”

nWang Xiong:”???”

nHe had to admit that he was a little confused about Lu Ming’s train of thought.

nHe was just going out to find something to eat.

nThe location was clear. It was just a matter of going back and forth.

nAs an Awakened, he was not afraid of zombies. Moreover, Lu Ming was so strong that he could instantly kill a hunter. Was there a need to be so conflicted?

nSeeing Wang Xiong’s puzzled expression, Lu Ming thought for a moment and gave a rare explanation.

n“Brother Wang, you also know that my superpower is special. I become stronger every day.

n“If I go out now, to be honest, I don’t know the situation outside. Although I’ve killed many zombies, I think I mainly have the geographical advantage. It’s hard to predict what I’ll encounter outside or what sudden situations may arise. One wrong move could lead to life-threatening danger.”

nWang Xiong:”…”

nHe wanted to say that the outside world was really not that dangerous for you, and he heard Lu Ming saying, “So I have to prepare for a week. I think there won’t be a problem if I go out after a week.”

nIt was mainly because Lu Ming wanted to increase his three-dimensional attributes to about 50 points.

nWith such attributes, Lu Ming could feel a trace of security when he went out.

nWang Xiong continued to remain silent until Lu Ming finally said, “As for the food for this week, I’ll cover it all.”

nHe was his personal fitness trainer and even provided him with gravity superpowers. He even helped clean the streets. It was not too much to provide food for him.

nWang Xiong immediately nodded. “Since Brother Lu has said so, we’ll accompany Brother Lu for another week.”

nThere’s nothing else to say if you’re the one who provides the food…

nAfter that, everyone went about their own business.

nWang Xiong and the others collected the corpses and did research.

nMeanwhile, Lu Ming was farming archery proficiency at home.

nThe next day.

nIn other words, Monday, the 23rd day of the Apocalypse Calendar.

nAt eight in the morning, Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng, and Wang Xiong gathered at the empty space in front of Lu Ming’s house, preparing to start the day’s exercise.

nLu Ming was the main one, Zhang Chengcheng used her superpower to assist, and Wang Xiong was the guide.

n“Today’s exercise: First, a warm-up. But according to your physical condition, Brother Lu, I think warm-up and endurance training can be put together.”

nWith that, Wang Xiong handed over a jump rope and a weighted suit.

nThe weighted suit weighed 30 kilograms. It would not affect the movement of the joints, but the weight was indeed real.

nMore importantly, the combination of weighted suit and gravity manipulation ability yielded better results.

nAfter putting on the weighted suit and taking the jump rope, Zhang Chengcheng activated her superpower and adjusted it to 10 times.

nLu Ming started jumping.

nAs he jumped, Wang Xiong said, “Jump rope is a good warm-up exercise. The warm-up effect is not necessarily better than running, but jumping rope can train the body’s coordination and balance more than running.”

n“If you feel that jumping rope with both feet is a little boring, you can also change to some fancy jumping methods. The training effect will be better.”

nLu Ming definitely knew how to jump rope.

nHowever, Lu Ming was not very familiar with fancy skipping.

nFortunately, with Wang Xiong’s guidance, Lu Ming could switch back and forth between normal and fancy jumps in a few minutes.

nHis attributes began to increase.

nThe fitness skill proficiency also jumped.

nAfter 10 minutes, Lu Ming felt that his body had been activated, and the warm-up effect was perfect.

nBut as long as Wang Xiong did not call for a stop, Lu Ming kept going without pause.

nTwenty minutes later, beads of sweat had already begun to appear on Lu Ming’s forehead.

nWang Xiong still did not call for a stop.

nThirty minutes later, Lu Ming began to pant heavily. He looked at Zhang Chengcheng opposite him and saw that Zhang Chengcheng was beginning to struggle to maintain her superpower.

n“Still not stopping?”

nHe couldn’t possibly jump rope all day, right?

nWang Xiong said with a cold expression, “Continue.”

nLu Ming continued.

nForty minutes.

nFifty minutes.

nUntil an hour later.

n“Stop!”

nWith Wang Xiong’s order, Lu Ming immediately stopped.

nZhang Chengcheng’s legs went weak and she slumped to the ground. However, she immediately flipped her pocket and took out a Level 1 zombie crystal from it and stuffed it into her mouth.

nFacing Lu Ming’s curious gaze, Wang Xiong smiled and said, “Cheng Cheng’s superpower level is still a little low. It can’t help you exercise for a long time. Last night, we tested it and found that zombie crystals can replenish the physical fitness and superpower strength of an Awakened.”

nThis was good news for Lu Ming.

n“You should rest for a while too, but it’s not a complete rest. Even without the help of superpower, you should continue jumping. Take it as a rest.”

nLu Ming nodded. “Okay.”

nHe controlled his strength and continued to jump rope. However, without the help of the gravity manipulation ability, this intensity of movement was no different from breathing to Lu Ming.

nAbout ten minutes later, Zhang Chengcheng stood up, looking quite energetic.

nWang Xiong said, “Fifteen times gravity, variation jump rope. Jump once a second, jump ten times, and then jump the rope as fast as possible for a minute. Then slow down for half a minute and jump as fast as possible for a minute.

n“I’ll give you instructions. You follow my rhythm.”

nLu Ming nodded. “Okay.”

nIf the previous hour of jumping rope was just a warm-up, the strength of the next variation jump rope immediately increased.

nUnder the suppression of 15 times gravity, Lu Ming’s sports performance was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. Coupled with the suppression of the weighted suit, every time he jumped rope at the highest speed, Lu Ming felt as if his heart was about to explode.

nAfter half an hour, Zhang Chengcheng collapsed again. Lu Ming was so tired that he panted and could not straighten his back.

n“Don’t rest. You have to continue jumping even without the help of your superpower. This is your way of resting.”

nLu Ming wiped his sweat and did as he was told.

nAnother ten minutes later, Lu Ming began his strength training under 15 times gravity.

nSquats, duck steps, quick push-ups, turns and sit-ups.

nThis phase lasted for a full 40 minutes.

nSweat drenched his clothes.

nZhang Chengcheng began to take the corpse crystals again and rest until she caught her breath. Lu Ming saw Wang Xiong standing in front of him, cupping his fists and assuming a posture.

nLu Ming:”???”

nWang Xiong smiled and said, “Practical sparring.”

n“Of course, I have to have some advantage. You will spar with me in a weighted suit under 10 times the gravity.”

nLu Ming: “Is this also part of the fitness plan?”

nWang Xiong nodded and said, “Practical sparring is actually the best way to exercise. In combat, it can greatly train your stamina, explosive power, reflexes, and so on. Moreover, your muscles also need to withstand blows to become stronger and stronger.”

nAfter saying that, Wang Xiong continued, “Besides, are you really not interested in mixed martial arts?”

nLu Ming was too interested…

nHis interest was piqued.

nEven though his body was tired, Lu Ming still moved his limbs and said solemnly to Wang Xiong, “Please enlighten me.”

nIt was more like Wang Xiong feeding Lu Ming moves than actual combat training.

nHe only defended and did not attack. From time to time, he would point out which aspect of Lu Ming’s strength was problematic and which aspect he could do better.

nAnyway, Lu Ming felt that Wang Xiong was a very good teacher.

nThis could be seen from the feedback from the attribute panel after the training.

nDuring the whole morning, Lu Ming had made tremendous progress..
