“Boxing studio?”
Yu Tian raised an eyebrow.
“Don’t accept the challenge. Jianzhong has been practicing martial arts ever since he was young. There’s no way you can defeat him,” said Chu Qing anxiously.
She did not want to see Yu Tian get beaten up.
Since Chu Qing and Jianzhong grew up together, she knew the man well. He would not show mercy or forgiveness, especially to a love rival.
Yu Tian patted her on the shoulder as a way to tell her not to worry.
“So? Do you accept my challenge?”
Jianzhong looked at the young man with a mocking expression.
“Why not? There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Yu Tian replied flatly.
“Let’s go.”
“Good. You’re a brave one.”
Jianzhong sneered and began making arrangements on the phone.
Shortly after, all of them arrived at the boxing studio.
They were greeted by a tall and sturdy man who was standing in front of the studio. His name was Cai Feiyu. He was the friend who owned the boxing studio as mentioned by Jianzhong earlier.
“Jianzhong, it’s been a while since your last visit,” said the man.
“I’ve only had some free time recently. I came home for a visit and was greeted by an opponent. So, I’ve brought him here to settle things.”
Jianzhong smiled and patted the other man on his shoulder as they spoke.
The two of them seemed to be good friends.
“You have an opponent? That’s hard to imagine.”
The shock was evident in Feiyu’s tone of voice.
He looked around and asked, “Are you competing against those ten burly men?”
“They all work for me. This time, I’m competing with that young man.”
Jianzhong replied as he pointed his finger at Yu Tian.
Feiyu looked in the direction where he was pointing and was immediately confused.
“Are you serious? Jianzhong, how much have you deteriorated? That young man is so skinny that even I can knock him out in one punch.”
“Don’t look down at him. He’s pretty strong.”
Jianzhong threw a sideway glance at Yu Tian. Although he was smiling, the arrogance was audible in his tone.
He knew that he was just acting humble and was confident that he could defeat the young man.
Feiyu walked towards Yu Tian.
“Are you as strong as I was told?”
“I dare not say that I’m really strong, but I’m much stronger compared to you guys,” replied Yu Tian nonchalantly.
How arrogant!
The other men sneered.
They all thought that he was just boasting.
Feiyu glanced at Yu Tian with much interest.
“What a haughty young man. Well, I’ve just bought some new machines for my studio. Why don’t you and Jianzhong compete there to see who’s stronger?”
“Just a strength competition?”
Yu Tian asked.
This was not what Jianzhong said earlier.
Feiyu said disdainfully, “Young man, I’m not looking down on you, but you’re really too skinny. Jianzhong will knock you out with one punch if the two of you get into the boxing ring. Many people have already lost their lives here, so I’m trying to prevent the worst-case scenario. I don’t want my boxing studio to get a bad name.”
Yu Tian was about to say something when Chu Qing interrupted, “That’s fine.”
Then, she leaned forward and whispered in Yu Tian’s ear, “A strength competition is enough. Don’t fight.”
Yu Tian nodded unwillingly.
On the other hand, Jianzhong felt a surge of anger rising from within as he watched the two whispering in front of him.
‘D*mn it, how dare they act so intimately in my presence! Chu Qing, I’ll definitely show you that I’m a better match for you than him!’
Feiyu brought them to the training room.
There were numerous training machines in the room. Although they looked similar to the ones found at other places, they were actually custom-made.
These machines were specially designed to train professional boxers.
Feiyu gave them a brief tour before stopping in front of a gravity machine.
“Try this. Young man, you’ve said that you’re pretty strong. Why don’t you show us?” said Feiyu as he turned to Yu Tian.
“Yu Tian…”
Chu Qing grabbed his hand.
“Hmm?”
“Don’t force yourself. We can give up if you want to.”
“I won’t be defeated.”
Yu Tian replied.
He removed the woman’s hand and stepped onto the gravity machine.
“The person capable of doing the most reps will win. Don’t worry, nothing will be unfair. We can all count the reps together,” said Jianzhong.
“Sure.”
Yu Tian laid himself down on the machine and began pushing.
Feiyu sneered at the young man’s confidence and thought to himself, ‘Young people nowadays are so impulsive. Does he think that my machines are similar to the ones at other places? You’ll be crying in a few minutes.’
He was aware of the true power of these newly-purchased machines.
All the boxers from his studio had tried it and not one of them was able to push more than ten reps. The gravity machine was truly unique.
However, in a matter of seconds, the smug smile on Feiyu’s face disappeared.
“One, two…”
The crowd counted as Yu Tian pushed the weights on the machine.
“Eight, nine, ten…”
As the number increased, Feiyu’s eyes widened.
“D*mn!”
He shouted.
Then, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.
Yu Tian kept going effortlessly. His speed was increasing too. It looked like he had gotten a hang of the machine.
“Twenty-five.”
The young man suddenly stopped after reaching this number.
Jianzhong and his men began to make fun of Yu Tian.
“Is that all?”
“This young man is an amateur.”
“What a joke! Jianzhong will be able to do at least a couple of hundred reps.”
“Jianzhong will defeat him easily.”
“I don’t know where he gets his confidence from. He’s still too young and naive.”
Jianzhong felt great after listening to his men flatter him.
He said to the young man, “Is that your limit? You’re pretty weak.”
However, Yu Tian looked at the man as if he was the biggest fool on earth.
“Actually, I just wanted to ask if this gravity machine is broken? It’s too light.”
“Light?!”
The ten burly men began laughing.
Yu Tian was unbothered. He turned around and looked at Feiyu. The latter was the owner of this boxing studio so naturally, he would know if the machine was broken or not.
Feiyu was staring at the young man in disbelief.
“Hey, owner, I’m asking you a question. Is the gravity machine broken?”
“Huh? Um, yes, it’s broken.”
“Broken?”
Shocked, Jianzhong immediately laid down on the gravity machine. He wanted to see if it was really broken..
