Martial Arts Song

Chapter 261: Cross-River Training
"Cross the Red River, back and forth, until you are exhausted..."

Hearing what Luo Zongping said, Chen Qing's face suddenly showed a thoughtful look.

This is indeed a solution.

Swimming is a sport that exercises almost every part of the body and consumes a lot of energy.

Most people will not feel anything unusual after swimming in the water for half an hour, but will feel drowsy and take a nap soon after returning.

This is actually a manifestation of excessive consumption.

In addition, it is easy to feel hungry after swimming, and the appetite is greatly increased, which is another manifestation of high consumption.

In Chen Qing's previous life, all swimmers had well-proportioned and powerful muscles, and the reason was the same.

In addition, when swimming, people are in the water and their bodies are covered with water. When exposed to the sun, the ultraviolet rays are absorbed better and it is easier to get tanned!

This is also the reason why people who often go to the beach or live by the sea are more likely to get tanned.

The more Chen Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

As for whether swimming to exhaustion is possible given his physique, that is not a problem.

As long as you swim fast enough and long enough, exhaustion is only a matter of time.

"Besides, swimming is in the water, so you don't have to worry about being discovered..."

Although there were many ferries in the "Red River", as long as he chose the right section of the river and the time, and combined with the ability to hold his breath for twenty to thirty minutes that he had developed when he was training his lungs in Qianyang, it would be very easy for him to avoid being discovered.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Luo Zongping, saying: "I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Luo!"

"Just understand."

Seeing Chen Qing's sudden realization, Luo Zongping chuckled and said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Chen Qingchui put down his hand and replied with a smile.

"That's it..."

Luo Zongping showed a trace of regret on his face, and nodded, "Okay then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Row!"

Chen Qing smiled and agreed readily.

This time, he did receive guidance from Luo Zongping, so he was truly grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.

After that, after chatting for a few more words, Luo Zongping asked the driver who was following him to call out Gao Changzhi and others from the guard room and began to teach them boxing.

Chen Qing watched from the side.

After some guidance and correction, seeing that Gao Changzhi and others had not made much improvement, Luo Zongping stopped wasting time.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Think carefully about what I just told you."

Luo Zongping chuckled at Gao Changzhi and the others and said, "I have something else to do so I will leave first. I will come back to check your results next time. Xiao Zhao, let's go."

"Yes!"

The young driver who followed Luo Zongping responded immediately and walked towards the old car parked in the factory.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

After hearing what Luo Zongping said, Gao Changzhi and others hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

Then, seeing the driver called Xiao Zhao walking towards the old car, they hurried to the factory gate and quickly opened the closed iron door.

Luo Zongping took all of this in but said nothing.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the parked classic car, but his speed was much slower.

As he walked away, he smiled again at Chen Qing who was watching him and said, "Little friend Lin, I will come back in a few days. If you still don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"it is good."

Chen Qing smiled and nodded, "Teacher Luo, take care."

"Ah."

Luo Zongping nodded, and soon he came to the parked old car.

The driver, named Xiao Zhao, had already opened the back door and waited for a while.

"Om~"

Followed by the sound of an engine roaring.

The old car that Luo Zongping was riding in drove slowly, slowly drove out of the factory gate, and then came to the "Guoshan Road" outside, and soon it was far away.

After Luo Zongping left, Gao Changzhi and others closed the factory gate and were silent and restrained for a while.

Gao Changzhi originally wanted to show off his closeness to Luo Zongping and compete secretly with Chen Qing, but he didn't expect that Chen Qing and Luo Zongping would actually be on equal terms!

This made Gao Changzhi very nervous.

Although the other people were not in the same mood as Gao Changzhi, they were a little unsure about how to face Chen Qing because of the attitude Chen Qing had just used when talking to Luo Zongping.

Before, they could treat each other as the captain and themselves as the lackeys, but now, they found that they seemed to be unqualified to be lackeys...

Chen Qing roughly saw the mentality of the crowd at the moment.

Facing everyone's silence and restraint, he took the initiative to speak with a smile: "Let's all get to work. Xiao Gao, go get me a glass of water."

"Oh, alright!"

Gao Changzhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he quickly responded and quickly turned around and ran into the guard room to get some water.

After hearing what Chen Qing said, the other people recovered from their reservedness and started working today, while constantly complimenting Chen Qing.

After this incident, Gao Changzhi and his companions were completely convinced.

From then on, it was basically Gao Changzhi and a few others who went to work and inspected the factory, while Chen Qing sat in the guard room drinking tea.

time flies.

Soon, the morning passed.

Followed by a "crash" sound.

The factory gate was opened, and the workers working inside came out one after another and walked towards the factory gate.

That’s all for today’s class.

Seeing that it was time to get off work, Chen Qing, who had long been eager to return to the "swimming" spleen training method, immediately stood up and said to Gao Changzhi and the others, "It's time to get off work. I'm leaving first."

Gao Changzhi and his companions naturally didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly greeted Chen Qing with a smile.

After leaving "Luo's Paper Mill", Chen Qing did not rush to "jump into the river" to swim.

He first returned to "Sanlin" and came to "Linxing Road" in "Sanlin". He paid money to ask the cooperating herbal medicine shop here to cook a decoction for him to replenish qi and nourish blood.

Afterwards, he walked all the way to the Jiulong Avenue section of "Sanlin" and came to the river bank where he usually "practiced qi".

At this time, it was one o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.

Chen Qing stood on the stairs on the river bank, looking at the swaying river surface. Without much hesitation, he jumped in with a "plop".

Then, this time he did not swim back, but swam towards West City on the opposite bank.

The "Hongjiang" in the "Sanlin District" section is farther away from Xicheng than the "Sanyang District", and it does not directly connect to the more prosperous concession area on the Bund of "Hongjiang", but to the "Sancao District" in Xicheng.

Therefore, there are very few ferries on this section of the river, and only some fishing boats that make a living by fishing.

But most fishing boats only start fishing in the early morning when the fish in the river are asleep. At noon, most fishing boats go back to rest along the river that runs through "Sanlin". Therefore, there are not many boats on this section of the "Red River" at this time, only the river water that keeps rolling and shaking.

Chen Qing's figure blended into the river water and was completely inconspicuous.

In this way, Chen Qing swam towards Xicheng on the opposite bank under the scorching sun.

Because he didn't have to worry about being seen, he swam at full speed, and in just seven or eight minutes, the specific outline of the river bank of West City's "Sancao District" appeared in his field of vision.

"It's time to return."

After seeing the specific outline of the opposite bank, Chen Qing had no intention of going ashore. He simply turned his head on the spot and swam towards East City again.

In the following time, he swam back and forth continuously until the sun set in the afternoon. At dusk, he still did not feel that he had "overexercised".

This made him frown.

"The distance between 'Sanlin' in the east city and 'Sancao' in the west city is estimated to be at least 500 to 600 meters. I swam all afternoon without stopping, but I didn't feel anything..."

It started at almost one in the afternoon and now it’s almost six in the evening.

Almost five hours.

Chen Qing's swimming speed did not slow down because his body did not feel tired yet.

By this calculation, it takes him seven or eight minutes to swim one round trip, fifteen minutes for a round trip, and four round trips in an hour, which is equivalent to swimming six kilometers.

So far, he has swum nearly thirty kilometers.

The "Red River" is not like a stagnant pool of water. It has great fluidity. Chen Qing not only consumes his physical energy in swimming, but also in resisting the turbulent river current.

But even so, his body still did not feel "overexercised".

This is the power of a master of "Jingbian".

However, this strong physique also made it more difficult for Chen Qing to practice martial arts.

"continue."

Without thinking any more, Chen Qing continued swimming.

This time, he did not travel back and forth between the east and west cities. Instead, he swam to the middle and began to swim upstream against the direction of the "Red River"!
Because when swimming like this, he needs to face the push of the river current at all times, both the energy consumption and the strength of his muscles will increase.

He swam for another three hours. As night fell, the street lights of "Huhai" gradually lit up. When it was nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Qing finally felt his muscles tired, and then he slowly approached the shore...

at dusk.

Sanlin District, on the bank of the "Hongjiang" river.

Chen Qing, who was soaked all over, slowly walked ashore from the river.

Standing on the stairs of the river bank, he took off his wet clothes and wrung out his pants while summarizing his training:

"Swimming against the current consumes more energy and reduces muscle fatigue than swimming back and forth between the east and west cities. Today, I swam for eight hours before I felt the muscle soreness from 'overexertion'. If I had swam against the current from the beginning, I would have reached 'overexertion' in five or six hours..."

"Also, you should expand your thinking. You don't have to swim in the Red River. You can also swim in the sea later. However, you have to prepare soups and medicines to replenish qi and nourish blood in advance. Swimming consumes a lot of energy, not only the body muscles, but also the qi source..."

Chen Qing's current [Qi] value is about to fall below 2.

At this moment, he was starving.

After summarizing today's first practice attempt and wringing out his clothes and pants, he immediately went ashore and ate three bowls of noodles on the roadside.

After he finished eating, he ran all the way to "Linxing Road" and found the herbal medicine shop where he had paid the money to help him boil the medicine during the day. He took the boiled medicine away and drank it on the way, replenishing his [Qi] value, and he no longer felt hungry.

Fortunately, he only paid the deposit and not the full amount, so the owner of the herbal medicine shop has been waiting for him until now to receive the final payment.

Chen Qing felt a little relieved when he saw the [Qi] value at the bottom of his left eye gradually recovering.

Then, he walked back, feeling the soreness in his muscles, while planning the next training in his mind.

After returning home, Yang Ying's nagging was inevitable.

But while muttering, Yang Ying also got up and went to the fire room, heated up the dish left for Chen Qing, and brought it up.

After Chen Qing finished those three bowls of noodles, considering his appetite, they were just a temporary filler and were not nutritionally balanced enough.

Therefore, he did not refuse the food brought by Yang Ying. After eight hours of intense swimming, his appetite was greatly increased, so he ate it all.

This immediately made Yang Ying's face full of smiles.

After dinner, Chen Qing felt sleepy.

After a quick wash, he went straight to bed.

Then he slept until the alarm rang at four in the morning!
"Dingling bell~"

The moment the alarm rang, Chen Qing woke up and immediately turned off the alarm.

Afterwards, he stretched and said to himself, "Sure enough, I sleep especially well after swimming!"

After talking to himself, he looked at the [Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye:
【Fine: 15.34218929】

【Qi: 9.432895434】

【God: 1.842352897】

Today is different from yesterday.

Today's [Essence] value increased by about 0.042.

Compared with yesterday's increase of 0.027, it directly increased by 0.015.

This is the effect of adding "excessive exercise".

"I wonder how much it will grow after proper bloodletting..."

Looking at this growth figure, Chen Qing was quite satisfied, and he was already planning in his mind to "bleed" himself appropriately.

However, before that, let’s finish today’s practice first.

He put away his distracting thoughts, got up and started today's practice...

After the practice was over, it was already a little after six in the morning and the sky was beginning to brighten.

Today is May 17th. The beginning of summer has passed and the sky is getting brighter earlier every day.

After Chen Qing finished his practice, he went out to work at "Sanyang".

When the time came to six forty.

Chen Qing also successfully came from "Sanlin" to "Guoshan Road" in "Sanyang" and to "Luo's Paper Mill".

The person on night shift yesterday was Tang Bing, one of the four people.

However, when Chen Qing walked into the guard room, he found that there was not only Tang Bing inside, but another person.

"Captain Lin, this man came here early in the morning and said he wanted to see you!"

When Tang Bing saw Chen Qing coming, he immediately came over to report.

After saying that, he turned his gaze towards the person who had been waiting in the guard room.

After Chen Qing walked in, his eyes were always on this man.

This is a young man wearing a suit and vest. He is of average height and appearance, but his pair of dead fish eyes are particularly distinctive.

That's right.

The person who came was Xiao Wu from the "Yun" organization!

When Xiao Wu saw Chen Qing, he immediately smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Captain Lin."
