Chapter 112: 105° Move Part 1

“In that case, I agree.” Zhang Rongfang nodded. His desire for the parts was evident, as it had already been noticed by others.

He no longer concealed it and accepted it openly.

A hint of joy flashed across Wanyan Road’s face.

“Then everything will depend on you, sir!”

Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment as he looked at Wanyan Road’s face.

The attribute panel instantly displayed lines of information.

’Wanyan Road——Life 9-10.

Martial Arts——Unknown.

Cultivation of Literature——Unknown.’

The confidence he had came mainly from the extremely obvious hints in the attribute panel.

The life attribute of ordinary people is generally normal within 10, and Wanyan Road has reached the upper limit without practicing martial arts, stronger than when he first practiced martial arts.

It’s evident that his natural physique is indeed good.

Being so obese yet maintaining such a healthy physique clearly indicates an extraordinary talent.

As long as he chooses the right diet and exercise method, he can….

Three days later….

In a suburban manor of the Wanyan family in Tan Yang City.

Several Wanyan family experts guarded the perimeter.

In the dojo of the manor, Wanyan Road was struggling to follow Zhang Rongfang in practicing a set of basic Five Elements Fist.

This boxing technique was modified by Zhang Rongfang, specifically designed to burn fat.

Focused on high frequency, long duration, without damaging joints.

His conception was quite good; with consistency in practice and reducing intake, wouldn’t weight loss come easily?

Unfortunately…..

In the dojo, Zhang Rongfang watched Wanyan Road shakily assume positions and punch.

Watching her struggle to move her knees, with her two small legs trembling as if they might break at any moment.

“Alright!” He sighed, “Stop for now.”

“Yes!” Wanyan Road hurriedly stopped and looked up at him.

Zhang Rongfang was speechless.

He realized why, despite Wanyan Road’s family background, even obesity couldn’t be reduced.

Clearly, practicing martial arts could lead to a significant burn, but why didn’t Wanyan Road try it?

Now he understood.

With Wanyan Road’s weight of over 600 pounds, starting martial arts training would severely damage his knees.

Continued practice would lead to permanent knee damage before losing any fat.

It’s likely that the Wanyan family’s martial artists also saw this, which is why they didn’t let her use martial arts for weight loss.

Watching Wanyan Road look at him eagerly, Zhang Rongfang felt a bit of a headache.

With such a physique and weight, choosing a suitable exercise method is truly difficult.

He recalled some modern knowledge from his past life.

“Do you know how to swim?”

Wanyan Road was taken aback.

“Swimming is simple.”

“Then let’s go. Find a place to swim.” Zhang Rongfang said casually.

Half an hour later.

The two stood by the Wanyan family’s private artificial pool.

Wanyan Road changed into a fitted black swimsuit.

In this era, swimsuits were all made of leather, but they were completely form-fitting. After changing, she draped a large black cloak over it.

Standing by the artificial pool, she felt a bit embarrassed to uncover the cloak.

Though the Great Spirit had open customs, even allowing sibling and generational inheritances.

Sibling inheritance means if an older brother dies, a younger brother can marry his sister-in-law. If a younger brother dies, an older brother can marry the brother’s wife.

Generational inheritance is even more exaggerated.

Simply put, even between different generations, marriages can be inherited.

Such as a son marrying a stepmother, a nephew marrying an aunt, a grandson marrying a non-blood-related step-grandmother, etc.

As long as there is no blood relationship, anything is possible in the Great Spirit….

Zhang Rongfang also understood this exaggerated system.

It is said that because, in the Great Spirit’s law, women have property inheritance rights.

Therefore, to prevent their family property from flowing to outsiders, this inheritance system arose.

Marrying within the family ensures the property remains within, right?

At this moment, Wanyan Road stood by the pool, glanced around, and then looked at Zhang Rongfang.

“Um… could you turn around?”

“Aren’t you wearing clothes under it?” Zhang Rongfang was speechless but still respected the other party and turned around.

Not long after, he heard Wanyan Road say it was okay and turned back.

In the pool, a massive black sphere rolled and floated, like a preserved egg accidentally dropped into the water….

“…” Zhang Rongfang helplessly watched Wanyan Road, who couldn’t sink.

Even without swimming, getting in the water would keep her afloat.

This was simply….

“Get moving! The water will help reduce the burden on your joints. From now on, unless I tell you to stop, keep swimming.”

“Yes!”

Wanyan Road gritted her teeth in response and began to wildly paddle with her four limbs, circling the pool back and forth.

One lap, two laps…. the rubber raft turned, three laps, four laps…..

“I can’t do it anymore!…..”

Her body in a full swimsuit clearly slowed down.

“No, slowing down is useless! Keep going! If you truly want to lose weight, you must listen to me.” Zhang Rongfang shouted.

According to energy consumption, initially, the proportion of energy consumed from stored muscle energy is high.

Only after exercising for a certain time can the proportion of energy consumed by fat increase.

This is why short exercise doesn’t lead to weight loss.

Wanyan Road gritted her teeth; she wanted to rest, but…. thinking of the previous insults, disdain, and ridicule.

Her heart swelled with passion, and she continued to swim with all her might.

Zhang Rongfang, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly.

He kept watching as Wanyan Road swam back and forth, taking a short break when tired, before continuing, until the lower limit of the life attribute started to decline a little.

Only then did he call a halt.

He roughly understood the current physical limits of Wanyan Road.

A slight decrease in life limit, but this cost results in the disappearance of a lot of body fat, was undoubtedly worth it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even be qualified to practice martial arts.

With her body shape, she couldn’t even pose properly for the moves.

Then, a two-day rest was needed, and a visit to a fitness masseuse to expel lactic acid.

After that, the frantic swimming continued, with controlled diet.

Days passed one by one.

During this time, Zhang Rongfang frequently entered and exited the Wanyan family estate.

The elders of the Wanyan family were relieved, feeling that their young lady finally had hope of finding a normal person.

But on Zhang Rongfang’s side, the people around him started to change a bit.

“Bro? Are you really getting involved with the Wanyan family member?”

At Zhang Rongfang’s home.

Li Huoyun came to visit. After holding back his curiosity for several days, he couldn’t suppress his doubts and came to ask in person.

“We’re just friends, that’s all. What’s wrong with that?” Zhang Rongfang replied indifferently.

In the days they spent together, Wanyan Road turned out to be a good person, sincere and trustworthy. She didn’t have the vices of other pampered children of nobility.

In fact, as long as one can be self-reliant and have strong willpower, Zhang Rongfang respected them equally.

Because such people, even if underestimated now, will one day fly high.

“But… it’s Wanyan Road!? She was part of the pig circle before, often messing around with people… There have been instances in their circle where people have died from playing too much.”

“Has Wanyan Road done such things?” Zhang Rongfang asked surprisingly.

“Uh… that circle is just like that. How clean could she be?” Li Huoyun shook his head.

“So, there’s no known instance?” Zhang Rongfang dismissed it calmly, “Besides, we’re not in that kind of relationship, I’m just helping her lose weight.”

“….Bro…. just be careful…” Li Huoyun was speechless.

In times like these, who would believe such words?

They were even taking horse-drawn carriages together.

After Li Huoyun left, Zhang Rongfang went to the government office to submit an application.

He planned to apply for a transfer back to Mingjing Palace.

Crossing a street, he arrived at the government office.

Zhang Rongfang tidied up his official uniform and boots, grabbed the handle of his saber, and walked towards the side door.

The two guards who usually greeted him looked at him strangely this time.

One of them seemed to want to say something but held back from voicing it.

Zhang Rongfang felt a bit puzzled and entered the office.

On his way inside, a few people greeted him, several with peculiar expressions.

Further away, some were glancing at him and then whispering to each other, seemingly discussing his affairs.

This feeling of being surrounded by whispers and furtive glances was rather unpleasant.

However, Zhang Rongfang paid no mind.

He walked through the long main corridor of the government office, passed some side paths, and arrived at the small building of Team Nine.

He opened the door and entered.

Inside, team members were scattered standing or sitting. Some were playing card games, some playing chess, and others were reading or chatting leisurely.

“Captain Zhang, you’re here?” Chen Hansheng smiled and approached.

Liu Han also split from his chat with another female team member and came up voluntarily.

“Captain Zhang, there were rumors about you and the Wanyan family’s young lady…”

“Just gossip. I’m friends with Wanyan Road. Nothing more.” Zhang Rongfang said plainly. “As for whether others believe it or not, that’s their business. Just don’t spout nonsense in front of me.”

“Indeed, Captain Zhang is calm!” Liu Han gave a thumbs-up.

“Alright, let’s have a training session today, then continue with patrol duties. There might be a new deputy captain coming.” Zhang Rongfang instructed.

Recently, the patrol tasks were completed by Chen Hansheng and Liu Han working together.

Liu Han successfully broke through to second-grade, and after breaking through the limit, he was now recuperating his Qi and Blood.

But he was considered to have good strength.

After dealing with team affairs, Zhang Rongfang submitted the application to the main captain, Zhang Xiangyang.

He knew that he wouldn’t progress openly any faster.

The main issue was that martial arts positions required grade limits, so to reach the main captain, he needed to be sixth-grade.

Currently, he’s third-grade. Without concealing his strength, he’s far ahead, but at his age?

Achieving one grade per year is considered a genius, but five grades per year… that would probably be a fantasy.

Therefore, if calculated by one grade per year, he had just progressed to third-grade, which wasn’t even half a year….

At dusk, after patrol duties, Zhang Rongfang received a notice from the main captain.

His application was denied.

Zhang Rongfang was not surprised, as the Chasing Moon Saber incident had just occurred, and with manpower lacking, not allowing him to leave was understandable.

In response, he decided not to argue, spending the day helping Wanyan Road with weight loss, and completing work duties at night.

Days flew by again.

On the night of November 14th.

Zhang Rongfang entered the courtyard, changed clothes, and feeling good, prepared to draw water for a bath.

Under his supervision, Wanyan Road progressed quite quickly.

In just five days, she had noticeably lost two pounds.

By reducing calorie intake, increasing exercise consumption, and consuming more vegetables, mushrooms, and high protein to ensure trace elements and nutrition intake.

Implementing this plan produced obvious results.

Carrying a wooden basin and towel into the courtyard, he was just about to draw water.

Suddenly, in the attribute panel before his eyes, the attribute points column finally had an additional point.

“Not bad, not bad.” Zhang Rongfang felt even better.

With the extra attribute point, the Void Observation Skill could be upgraded again.

Currently, the best way to increase life attributes was by enhancing Void Observation Skill.

A single attribute point, if directly added to life, would barely increase both upper and lower limits by one, which was not worthwhile.

But if added to Cultivation of Literature, it would yield quite good returns.
