In response to the master’s query, Fang Cheng laughed and casually replied:
"A friend asked to store it here; he runs a seafood business downstairs and doesn’t have enough space."
This reasoning made sense to the workers, who nodded with smiles without overthinking it.
They had just exerted considerable effort to perfectly fit this imnse object into the reserved spot in the kitchen.
Then, the bed, wardrobe, cabinets, tables and chairs, sofa, bookshelf...
One by one, brand-new pieces of furniture were moved into the empty house, settling into their designated places.
The bare and echoing shell of a room was gradually filled with these items, slowly acquiring the warmth and outline of a "ho."
Over half an hour later, everything was in place.
Fang Cheng promptly settled the remaining paynt and saw off the sweaty workers.
Click.
With the faint sound of the lock cylinder turning, the heavy security door was gently closed.
The room instantly beca exceptionally quiet.
Only the indistinct white noise of cars and waves mixed outside the window remained.
Fang Cheng’s eyes shone as he surveyed this nascent "new ho."
The living room had a set of brand-new dark gray fabric sofas arranged in a circle, and the bedroom featured a spacious and comfortable single bed.
In the kitchen, the enormous freezer stood quietly, exuding a fresh plastic scent.
Everything seed like a typical bachelor pad, simple and practical.
Except—
The living room, almost entirely remodeled into a "boxing training room" according to his unique needs.
The walls and ceiling here were embedded with thick soundproof gypsum board.
The surface was painted with a light blue latex paint, reminiscent of the ocean, soothing and calming to the mind.
The floor was covered with similarly colored professional PVC sports flooring, elastic and capable of effectively absorbing impact.
Aside from the living room floor installation, the bathroom and kitchen were fitted with non-slip tiles, while other areas exposed smooth cent floors, exuding a rugged and practical aura.
Industrial-grade load-bearing structures and sturdy thick iron fras crisscrossed on the ceiling, forming a solid "skeleton."
In the middle of the iron fra hung a black sandbag over two ters high and weighing eight hundred kilograms.
Like a titanic beast confined here.
In the corner, equipnt for practicing pull-ups and hanging leg raises was installed, consisting of a horizontal bar and rings.
Additionally, a human-sized free-standing boxing dummy and a heavy sandbag post occupied the two corners near the floor-to-ceiling window.
Fang Cheng’s gaze slowly swept across, as he stepped into the living room, pressing slightly on the floor.
A clear rebound sensation ca from beneath his feet, courtesy of the thick rubber shock pads under the PVC floor.
After taking in the new environnt, Fang Cheng moved to the sandbag, extending his fist for a light strike.
The sandbag only swayed slightly, the feeling from the punch akin to hitting a solid wall wrapped in leather.
To increase weight, the sandbag was filled not only with high-density material but also mixed with a large quantity of iron sand.
To be honest, this sandbag’s specifications far exceeded training equipnt, resembling more a siege weapon.
For the vast majority of boxing athletes, bags weighing tens of kilograms to over a hundred kilograms offer effective daily training.
Even world-class heavyweight boxers rarely train with sandbags weighing several hundred kilograms.
Facing such a colossus, they must punch cautiously, lest they risk injury and wrist fractures.
But for Fang Cheng now, a standard hundred-kilogram sandbag, felt no different than a cotton-stuffed doll, rendering it ineffective for training.
After all, punching heavier bags requires greater strength output.
The heavier the target, the more beneficial it is to train fist penetration and overall explosive power, better simulating the feeling of breaking through a strong enemy’s defenses and adapting to strong impact and resistance.
This 800-kilogram super heavy-duty sandbag was the largest available finished product Fang Cheng could find on the market.
To ensure it withstood his incredible punching force without easily tearing,
Fang Cheng specifically requested in-depth customization from the manufacturer.
The sandbag’s outer skin was specially reinforced, using a composite of double-layer high-strength military canvas and Kevlar fiber, with a coating treatnt.
Impact resistance and abrasion resistance were enhanced to the highest degree.
Between the outer skin and inner lining, a gel pad cushioning layer was inserted.
It provided excellent shock resistance and prevented filling leakage if the skin was damaged, making replacent easier.
Even all seams used Kevlar fiber for double row cross-stitching reinforcent.
And industrial-strength glue was used for bonding, further enhancing connection strength.
This ticulous craftsmanship cost Fang Cheng over sixty thousand yuan just for the sandbag.
Any heavier would be impractical.
This not only involved limits of material and craftsmanship but more crucially, the house’s load-bearing issues.
Even professional gyms seldom have facilities capable of safely hanging nearly a ton, let alone ordinary residential beams.
The renovation workers exerted considerable effort to install this behemoth, taking half a week just to reinforce the ceiling.
Moreover, the purpose of boxing sandbag training is not only to enhance punching power and speed but, more importantly, the precision in technique and the fluidity of combination strikes.
