The originally smooth as a mirror latex paint wall felt as rough as 800-grit sandpaper.
"Do they want to evolve into a gecko?"
Fang Cheng joked in his mind, then simply extended both hands, spreading his fingers like claws, pressing them against the wall.
He attempted to simply grip the wall with both hands, mimicking a gecko by slowly crawling upward.
However, as soon as he exerted so force, his body was slightly lifted by less than a centiter.
Whoosh!
A sense of slipping, where there’s no grip, ca from the fingertips.
"It won’t work..."
Fang Cheng shook his head.
The workmanship of the decorator was really excellent.
So much so that the wall was too smooth and flat, without any visible protrusions at all.
Simple static friction wasn’t enough to let him counteract his own gravity on an absolutely vertical surface at a slow speed.
However, being unable to crawl slowly didn’t an the wall couldn’t be conquered.
Fang Cheng looked up at the wall, more than three ters tall, and the ceiling coated with putty at the top.
There, the I-beams reinforced for hanging sandbags and training equipnt crisscrossed, like an upside-down steel forest.
The "branches" among them could provide excellent grip points.
Fang Cheng focused his gaze, then stood close to the wall, his legs slightly bent.
Suddenly, he took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and fiercely grabbed the wall painted with latex paint.
At the sa ti, his feet gently pushed against the ground, and his whole body swiftly leaped upward.
Schhh—
At the mont the fingertips made contact with the wall, a violent friction caused his rising body to stagnate montarily.
In the millisecond before the sliding tendency could manifest, Fang Cheng’s right hand clawed, with his arm muscles and core exploding.
He wasn’t ready to counteract the gravitational slip but to use the strong friction as a stepping point.
The next second, instead of descending, his body shot up more than half a ter along the wall.
Imdiately, the left hand followed, using the sa thod.
Each grip was like a small pull-up perford on the vertical plane.
This wasn’t crawling anymore; it was violent climbing.
Fang Cheng realized instantly.
Friction coefficient and normal pressure determine the frictional force.
He didn’t need to move as slowly as a gecko.
As long as enough normal pressure can be applied to the wall, it can convert the terrifying static friction coefficient of 1000% into upward propulsion.
As long as the speed is fast and the force is strong, he will never fall.
Of course, such a fierce burst wasn’t needed now.
With just two swift alternations, Fang Cheng violently conquered the wall more than three ters high.
His body was now steadily perched at the seam where the wall t the ceiling.
At this mont, he was like a leopard perched on a cliff, eyeing its prey.
In the next instant, Fang Cheng twisted his waist, his feet lightly pushing against the wall.
The whole person shot towards the center of the living room like a fired bullet.
His arms spread gracefully in the air, lunging towards the upside-down steel forest.
This ti, he didn’t use his whole hand to grasp the iron fra; that would be too unchallenging.
His target was the less than one centiter wide right-angled edge below the iron fra.
At the mont when his body rose to the highest point, Fang Cheng suddenly extended his right hand.
Using only his index finger and thumb, he precisely pinched the tallic edge that could hardly be called a grip point.
This is known as "Pinch Grip" in climbing, a technique for pinching.
This technique is crucial in climbing, especially when facing so smooth or small footholds, as pinching can provide stable support.
But Fang Cheng’s fingers now acted on a deathly angle where there seed to be no effective stress surface in the eyes of ordinary people!
However.
An occurrence defying the principles of kinematics happened.
The entire weight of Fang Cheng’s body, over 90 kilograms, plus the impact of the forward leap, focused entirely on this point.
Yet, his two fingers seed like precision tongs made of high-strength alloy, firmly gripping the iron fra’s edge.
The whole person was so stabilized, suspended in mid-air.
This right-angled edge is a point that even the world’s top climbers would only use as a temporary supporting point to adjust their posture, definitely not as a supporting point for full-body suspension.
In the past, even if Fang Cheng used both hands to grip with all his strength, he wouldn’t last more than a few seconds before losing his grip.
Now, the finger strength that exceeded human limits and enhanced friction by tenfold combined perfectly, creating the miraculous scene before him.
Fang Cheng steadied himself, and his other hand followed suit, using the "pinch grip" to grab the lower end of the iron fra not far away.
Next, like an agile giant ape, he alternated his arms and swung through the steel forest with an astonishing rhythm.
The movents were relaxed and free, the speed increasingly fast, even carrying a show-off flair.
Suddenly, in a mont of forward swing, Fang Cheng’s waist and abdon exploded with force, twisting like a spinning top.
The body once again leaped high, completing a swift tucked sorsault.
Slap!
With a muffled sound, Fang Cheng’s limbs opened like a gecko’s, his fingertips and soles firmly "sticking" to the smooth ceiling.
His whole person thus defied gravity, hanging upside down in mid-air against reason.
But, this was not the end.
Last ti, Fang Cheng used the montum of forward leaping, sticking his back to the ceiling, sliding rapidly.
This ti, with more autonomy, he could reach previously unattainable degrees.
Fang Cheng maintained this incredible position, core strength taut, feeling the remaining forward montum after the airborne flip.
Then his limbs alternated actions, like the evil ghost Kayako in the movies, crawling forward while hanging upside down.
If observed closely, it’s noticeable he wasn’t really crawling, but using
His fingertips and toes each ti pressed the ceiling like performing a stretch and pedal movent on flat ground, then propelled forward.
The enormously enhanced friction made the smooth putty surface a runway with perfect grip.
This way, relying on the "Absolute Mastery" skill effect, Fang Cheng road, crawled back and forth on the ceiling.
The feeling was infinitely marvelous, as if gravity was twisted, the entire worldview overturning at this mont.
Until crawling to the top edge close to the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling his body getting heavier, teetering on the brink of falling,
Fang Cheng chose to stop.
He simultaneously pushed his hands and feet against the ceiling powerfully, completing a dashing two and a half turns flip mid-air.
Then, his feet landed steadily on the floor, like leaves floating down gently, making almost no sound.
The entire process from takeoff to landing was smooth like flowing water, executed in one fluid motion.
Fang Cheng stood straight, slightly panting, though his mind was rapidly replaying every detail of just now.
"After the Agility Attribute broke through 40 points, in free fall, I simply maintained a hang ti of about 3.5 seconds."
"Last ti, when I obtained the ’Air Walking’ effect and experinted in my ho’s living room, by combining front and back flips and sliding actions, I extended hang ti to an extre of 5 seconds little by little."
"And this ti..."
He carefully calculated, from the initial leap and swing, to the wall-crawling on the ceiling, and the final release and landing was more than whopping 7 seconds without calculating the freeze ti during flipping!
What an astounding improvent!
Fang Cheng’s eyes shone brightly.
Although he hadn’t truly mastered the ability to fly.
But this incredibly extre limit cling ability combined with far beyond ordinary hang ti techniques.
in the complex urban environnt, could definitely beco an unparalleled three-dinsional maneuver ans, akin to a fantastic Qinggong technique.
If this Gecko Wall-Crawling Skill had Realm Levels.
Myself now, has already reached the veritable Grandmaster Realm.
Fang Cheng even had no doubt.
If his physical strength could keep up, he really could traverse the skyscraper iron jungles like Spiderman in the movies freely.
Of course, body weight would be a critical consideration.
