Early morning, Sea Sky Garden.
Sunlight slanted through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling into the living room.
The sky-blue walls and the sports flooring under this soft halo glow displayed a sense of serene transparency.
The CD player on the TV cabinet slowly rotated, the crisp beats of electronic rock emanating from the speakers, softly echoing inside the room.
In the center of the living room, Fang Cheng wore only a pair of red athletic shorts, lying on the floor.
He pressed his right index finger against the floor, his entire torso straight as an arrow, constantly rising and falling to the rhythm of the music, performing high-intensity single-finger push-ups.
On his broad back, ten black cast iron weight plates stacked layer upon layer.
Each one was a standard 25KG gym plate.
Which meant a total of a terrifying 500 pounds of weight, combined with his own body weight, all pressing on the index finger's bone.
