8 Chapter 8: Competing and Strength Upgrade

Translator: 549690339

In the following training session.

Chen Sheng actively asked to increase all of his training weights by 5 kg.

He even directly increased his chest press weight by 10 kg.

At first, Strong Bro was a bit worried.

After all, strength training aims to maximize muscle load.

One misstep, and it could lead to injury instead of training.

However,

As the training continued,

The shock in Strong Bro’s heart became more and more apparent.

By the end, it couldn’t be hidden and was written all over his face.

Although Chen Sheng seemed to struggle, he actually managed to persevere.

For someone who could barely complete the lowest level of training just yesterday, this was a world of difference.

Watching Chen Sheng complete one training exercise after another,

Strong Bro became more and more certain that Chen Sheng was “that kind of person.”

Even Coach Jack and Ah Wei, who were nearby, couldn’t help but stop their actions and watch Chen Sheng in amazement.

“I remember the day before yesterday… he couldn’t even do three sets with 10 kg dumbbells, right?”

At this moment, Chen Sheng was doing chest presses.

On both sides of the barbell, a 5 kg weight plate had been added.

From being someone he couldn’t take seriously, to now being better at running and almost catching up in training weights,

Ah Wei stared at the scene before him, remembering Chen Sheng’s mockery during the run, and clenched his fists tightly around the dumbbells.

If Chen Sheng keeps progressing at this speed, won’t he be mocked every time he comes to the gym?

Ah Wei automatically labeled Chen Sheng as someone who would gloat over small victories in his mind.

Just thinking about this made him feel suffocated.

In order to avoid being caught up by Chen Sheng, he desperately wanted to do something.

Suddenly,

Ah Wei’s face hardened as if he made a decision.

“Coach, I want to add some weight too.”

He looked up to Coach Jack and suggested.

“Ah Wei, you…”

Coach Jack immediately wanted to dissuade him.

Although he didn’t like Chen Sheng either, Ah Wei’s limit was currently 23 kg, and any more could potentially injure him.

However, Ah Wei didn’t care about the coach’s advice and directly picked up a 25 kg dumbbell, gritting his teeth as he lifted it.

After that, he began doing dumbbell lateral raises.

This move required both hands to hold a dumbbell and the arms to constantly spread and fall.

Ah Wei was clearly struggling with the 25 kg weight.

After barely completing one set, Ah Wei felt soreness in his shoulder joints.

But he didn’t plan to give up.

Taking a short break, he prepared to resume.

One set.

Two sets.

Three sets.

Until the fourth set.

When Ah Wei lifted the dumbbell again, his arms started to tremble uncontrollably.

But he looked at Chen Sheng.

In order not to be surpassed, he decided to complete the training anyway.

However,

Ah Wei had barely done a few reps when his face turned red, and it seemed like he couldn’t hold on any longer.

But when he saw Chen Sheng,

Somehow he found the strength to finish the fourth set.

“Not bad, kid!”

Coach Jack couldn’t help but pat Ah Wei on the shoulder.

“I didn’t expect you to actually make it through.”

Ah Wei chuckled but didn’t say anything, instead looking defiantly at Chen Sheng.

However,

Chen Sheng never paid him any attention, remaining immersed in his training.

Seeing this,

Ah Wei snorted.

In his opinion, the reason for Chen Sheng’s rapid strength improvement over the last two days was most likely because it was his initial training phase when results are more apparent.

Catching up with himself in the future wouldn’t be that easy.

“Little Chen,”

During Chen Sheng’s break, Strong Bro suddenly spoke up.

“Do you have anything to do after training?”

“Nothing. Why?” Chen Sheng looked at Strong Bro with a puzzled expression.

Strong Bro was checking something on his phone at the time.

“Let me take you to meet someone later.”

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s confusion only deepened.

Strong Bro gave a mysterious smile.

It seemed like he was trying to convince Chen Sheng,

He picked up a dumbbell by his side.

This dumbbell weighed a full 50kg.

But in Strong Bro’s hands, it felt weightless.

Next second,

Something that nearly shattered Chen Sheng’s worldview happened.

Strong Bro gripped the bar with both hands and gently bent it.

The metal bar instantly bent downwards.

!!!

With a swoosh.

Chen Sheng’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly stood up.

“Strong Bro, this…”

He pointed at the bent dumbbell, looking shocked.

Are there others in this world besides himself, maybe…

“Little Chen, I know what you want to say.”

“But this skill is nothing.”

“If you’re interested, I can introduce you to even stronger people.”

Strong Bro explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Strong Bro, are you some kind of hidden martial arts master?”

“Now you see my potential and want to take me as a disciple?!”

“No problem!”

“I’m willing to worship you as my master!”

Chen Sheng waved his hand.

Directly making the decision for Strong Bro.

“Master is here—”

“No no no!”

Seeing that in just two seconds, he would have another disciple, Strong Bro hurriedly stopped him.

“I’m not some martial arts master, so it’s useless for you to worship me.”

Chen Sheng was still a bit unwilling.

Although he can become stronger by relying on the Golden Finger,

Getting stronger, is the goal.

Becoming a martial arts master, is the dream.

Both are not contradictory.

Maybe there’s some kind of internal cultivation or something, and if he learns it, his attribute could skyrocket.

“Strong Bro, please accept me. As long as you teach me kung fu, I’ll take care of you in the future.”

Chen Sheng patted his chest loudly.

“Get lost!”

“I have a daughter, I don’t need you to take care of me!”

Strong Bro couldn’t help but slap Chen Sheng on the back of his head.

“Just practice honestly.”

“Indeed, as you said, I see your potential.”

“If you really want to learn martial arts, I can introduce you to someone later.”

“That person is the real martial arts master.”

“As for whether you can pass, it depends on your performance.”

Saying this, Strong Bro secretly pointed to the camera on the wall and winked at Chen Sheng.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng remembered the other party’s previous action of looking at their phone.

He immediately understood.

“Strong Bro, give me the full package!”

“I want the heaviest!”

“Don’t mess around, just do it seriously.”

“Oh.”

One hour passed.

After the training, Strong Bro left the strength area first and asked Chen Sheng to wait where he was.

Chen Sheng knew,

Strong Bro went to find that ‘Martial Arts Master.’

With an excited heart, Chen Sheng sat in a chair, checking the results of today’s training.

Sure enough.

After this training session, his strength attribute increased by 0.02 again, getting closer to the normal range.

The fatigue in his muscles was also slowly fading.

He sat for a while longer.

Just as Chen Sheng was hesitating whether he should train a bit more, Strong Bro came back.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet someone.”

Chen Sheng immediately stood up, following Strong Bro with an excited look.

The two headed deeper into the gym, finally reaching a door in the VIP area.

At this moment,

Muffled thuds were coming from inside the room.

“Tiger Bro, I’ve brought the person.”
