Ren Jianzhong was offended by the look on Cai Feiyu’s face. It made him feel as if he had been defeated by Yu Tian.

He wanted to complete a couple of hundred reps even if the machine was broken. It was his way of proving to Chu Qing that he was clearly the better choice!

“Jianzhong!”

Feiyu shouted.

It was too late. The man had already laid down on the gravity machine.

Jianzhong wrapped his fingers around the handles and was ready to make a big push.

However, he had underestimated the difficulty of this machine. He spent every last bit of his energy just to make one rep.

His men began counting. Obviously, they were going to show support for their boss.

Suddenly, Jianzhong stopped out of the blue after they had counted to twelve.

“Huff, huff…”

The man was panting heavily.

“D*mn it. This gravity machine is definitely broken. It has suddenly become much heavier! Feiyu, you must perform maintenance on your machines.”

“Jianzhong.”

Feiyu approached his friend while debating if he should tell him the truth.

After a brief consideration, he decided against it and simply nodded.

“Understood.”

“This means you’ve lost.”

Chu Qing took the opportunity to declare the winner.

She was not going to let this chance slip. This could help prevent Yu Tian from getting into the boxing ring.

Jianzhong yelled as if he had been genuinely offended, “No way! This doesn’t count because the machine is broken! We will proceed with the competition!”

Then, he turned to look at Yu Tian.

“Young man, are you still in? If not, you’ll be considered defeated by default.”

Yu Tian was looking for a chance to test his strength. Naturally, he would agree to it.

He replied, “Let’s continue. You can pick whichever machine you fancy.”

The young man felt as if his strength would never be depleted. The reps from earlier actually stimulated him.

Feiyu’s expression darkened.

“Why don’t we call it a day?”

He had noticed something unusual about Yu Tian.

However, Jianzhong was already at the barbell area. The rest of them followed from behind.

Feiyu was speechless. He composed himself and prayed internally.

‘I hope I was wrong. This young man is not going to make it.’

Jianzhong picked the heaviest barbell. It weighed four hundred kilograms. He adjusted his stance and lifted it effortlessly.

“Awesome!”

“Nice one, Jianzhong. That barbell weighs 400 kilograms but you make things look so easy.”

“You’re my motivation!”

His men began cheering for him.

Jianzhong placed the barbell on the ground. Then, he said to Yu Tian, “It’s your turn.”

Yu Tian looked at the barbell and shook his head. After that, he shifted his attention to Feiyu.

“Boss, please unload this for me.”

The latter was surprised and thought to himself, ‘Can he not lift this?’

Regardless, he hastily unloaded the four hundred kilograms worth of weight from the barbell.

“Hahaha, this is too funny. Is he trying to start out with lightweights?”

“I bet he is. There’s no way he can lift this.”

“Young man, stop embarrassing yourself and just get out of here!”

“Challenging Jianzhong is not a good idea!”

Yu Tian completely ignored those comments. Once Feiyu finished unloading the barbell, he requested him to unload all the other barbells too.

The others were perplexed.

A worrying thought came across Jianzhong’s mind.

‘Is he thinking about increasing the weight?’

Jianzhong could still lift some extra weights, but it might be slightly more difficult.

He refused to believe that a young man with such a small frame could lift more than four hundred kilograms of weight.

“Boss, please load it up to 600 kilograms,” said Yu Tian.

“600?”

“Kilograms? Or grams?”

Feiyu could not believe his ears.

Six hundred kilograms was more than half a ton.

The current world record for weightlifting was about five hundred and fifty kilograms.

Yu Tian was challenging the world record!

“Kilograms.”

Feiyu was speechless.

Meanwhile, Yu Tian thought that six hundred kilograms should not be a problem.

A person needed to use the strength from their entire body for weightlifting.

Coincidentally, the fighting sequence that Yu Tian had practiced last night taught him how to redirect his strength to the hands.

He wanted to see if his practice paid off.

“Are you joking?” said Jianzhong.

“Don’t injure yourself just to show off. No one can help you if you’re crushed by the weights.”

Upon hearing that, Chu Qing became nervous.

“Yu Tian, don’t overdo it. Prioritize your own safety.”

“Don’t worry.”

Yu Tian looked at the woman confidently before rushing Feiyu to load up quicker.

Finally, the weights were all loaded.

Yu Tian walked towards the six hundred kilograms barbell and recalled his training from last night.

The young man yelled loudly as he successfully lifted the heavyweights.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Other patrons of the studio were also stunned.

Yu Tian carried the barbell for quite some time before returning it to the ground.

The crowd recollected themselves from the shocking sight.

“Did he just… Broke the world record?”

“Wow, where did he come from? He’s so strong and tough.”

“His strength is unbelievable. Even the national athletes are no match for him!”

Yu Tian was not surprised by the crowd’s reaction. He knew that he had extraordinary strength.

This was nothing compared to his recent experiences.

“Does this mean that I’ve won?” said Yu Tian calmly.

Jianzheng stared at the young man in disbelief. He realized that he had looked down upon the latter. Despite that, he could not bring himself to admit defeat!

Feiyu was unaware of the feud between the two men and hurried towards Yu Tian.

“Young man, what’s your name?”

Chu Qing stepped forward.

“Now that he’s won, you want to know his name?”

“I’m just curious about how strong he really is… I mean… You saw it yourself. He actually lifted those weights even though he had a small frame. It’s scientifically impossible!”

Feiyu spoke incoherently.

“It’s an innate gift.”

Chu Qing was not bothered.

As far as she was concerned, it was a good thing that Yu Tian was strong.

How he achieved it did not matter.

She knew that it must have something to do with Uncle Long and the Yu Family. Hence, there was no need for her to dig deeper..
