Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups

Chapter 1341 - 649

The bedroom was filled with a faint scorched smell, mixed with a lingering stench.

Spirit’s expression was composed. He withdrew his fist and stood still, his breathing so steady there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation.

As if he had just casually crushed a bedbug to death, not worth spending any effort on at all.

He lowered his head and looked at Li Jiajia, who had collapsed on the floor.

The girl’s eyes were tightly shut at this moment, and the black veins on her face had completely faded.

Though her face was still pale, a faint trace of living blood seemed to seep out under her skin.

Her breathing also became even, clearly showing signs of improvement.

Aside from her right arm hanging limply, in a dislocated posture, her body had no other injuries.

When neutralizing the shadow’s assault just now, Spirit had shown extreme restraint; one could say he hadn’t used even a fraction of his real strength.

His physical condition had long surpassed the mortal norm. Both Strength and Agility had broken through the human limit of 80 points.

That monster, so terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, had already gone beyond the scope of normal human beings in both speed and power.

But in Spirit’s eyes, all of this was like child’s play, easier to handle than an adult dealing with a three‑year‑old child.

If he hadn’t pulled back his strength just now, even a slight bump would have been enough for his heavy fist to smash this fragile body into a puddle of flesh in an instant.

Spirit bent down, his left hand pressing on Li Jiajia’s shoulder while his right hand pinched her dislocated wrist.

Following the direction of the radial joint, he gently pulled outwards, then pushed upwards.

"Click."

The bone was precisely reset.

Then Spirit slipped an arm around her waist, lifted her up, and gently laid her on the nearly collapsed wooden bed, pulling a thin blanket from the side and covering her with it.

After he finished all that, he turned and walked to the window, yanking open the blackout curtains and pushing open the tightly shut glass window.

Whoosh—

A warm summer afternoon breeze instantly poured in, quickly driving away the nauseating stench in the room.

Brilliant sunlight streamed in unobstructed, sweeping away all the gloom inside.

Spirit narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the high-rise buildings standing in the distance.

A moment later, he turned around and called out toward the door:

"You can all come in now."

Creak.

The bedroom door was immediately pushed open.

Ning Yue and the Old Li couple hurried into the room.

Their gazes first swept over the shattered bed planks and wood chips all over the floor and the cracked wall plaster, then landed in unison on the bed, on Li Jiajia, who looked as if she’d fallen into a deep sleep.

Ning Yue’s eyes widened. She swallowed, her voice carrying a faint tremor:

"Fang Cheng, Jiajia’s madness... is it cured?"

"Mm, she’s fine now."

Spirit inclined his head slightly and replied calmly.

Hearing this confirmed answer, the three of them suddenly relaxed nerves that had been taut for so long, and what surged up from the depths of their hearts was uncontrollable joy and excitement.

Old Li stood there in a daze, his body trembling slightly, hands clenched into fists, his eyes turning red in an instant.

Ning Yue’s mother-in-law felt her eyes sting, tears bursting forth.

She rushed straight to the bedside, stretching out her trembling hands to gently stroke her daughter’s cheek:

"My Jiajia... you’ve suffered so much these days, gone through so much torment, and now you’ve finally made it through, you’ve come back to life..."

All the torment, worry, and heartache of the past days turned at this moment into choked sobs.

With tears at the corners of his eyes, Old Li immediately barked in a deep voice when he saw this:

"What are you touching her for! Your hands are so dirty, hurry to the bathroom and get a basin of hot water to wipe our daughter’s face!"

The mother-in-law wasn’t the least bit offended at being yelled at. She just agreed repeatedly, hastily wiped her tears with a random swipe, and turned to run out:

"Right, right, I’ll go get water!"

Ning Yue stood to the side, looking at her old classmate’s calm profile, the image of Spirit lifting the frenzied Jiajia with one hand replaying over and over in her mind.

Astonishment, awe, and deep gratitude all tangled together.

She suddenly realized that her understanding of this high school classmate was pitifully shallow.

It was as if there were a thin layer of mist between the two of them, preventing her from ever seeing his true appearance clearly.

But in her heart she was very clear that the tall, steady, reliable man before her was no longer the thin, ordinary boy in her memories.

Once his emotions had calmed somewhat, Old Li strode quickly over to Spirit, gripping his hands tightly and shaking them up and down, babbling his thanks:

"Mr. Fang, we’re really so grateful to you!"

"You’re truly the great benefactor of our whole family. If it weren’t for you, we really wouldn’t know how to go on living..."

Spirit waved his hand, indicating there was no need for such formality:

"The evil qi in your daughter’s body has just been dispelled. Her vitality has been greatly drained, so both her body and Spirit are very weak right now. She’ll probably sleep for a long time."

"During this period, let her rest quietly. Keep her diet light, and cook more soups that replenish qi and blood, like astragalus and angelica stewed with black-bone chicken. Make sure she doesn’t eat anything cold and raw, and keep her warm."

Old Li nodded repeatedly as he listened, firmly committing each of Spirit’s instructions to memory.

Ning Yue’s eyes flickered as she looked at Spirit in surprise:

"I really didn’t expect that after being classmates for so many years, this is the first time I’ve learned you actually know Medical Skill."

Spirit smiled slightly and explained casually.

"When I have free time, I just read books and teach myself."

He wasn’t lying.

When he decided to walk the path of tempering his body, he practically lived in the city library, borrowing large numbers of books on medicine, human anatomy, and sports rehabilitation.

He knew all there was to know about how to regulate qi and blood and nourish the body.
