Chapter 320 - Crouching Tiger of the City (1/2)
Generally, the gravity chamber in the Pegasus Fitness Club was just used as an embellishment of their tremendous strength. It only ever had a few guests. And today, it welcomed a weird guest.
The female administrator in charge of the gravity chamber looked at the three people behind Qin Fen with some curiosity. A receptionist is pretty normal but why is the high and aloof Manager Hua, who holds a lot of power, here as well? And then the warehouse keeper!?
**But this wasn’t the thing that surprised the administrator. What really piqued her curiosity was the countenance of the three, as pale as if they had fallen into a container and climbed out. Their eyes were flickering with shock, as if they had seen a prehistoric monster.
Double gravity is indeed a bit excessive, it needs a very resilient heart, but it has not reached the point of surprise!
After a while, Manager Hua raised his hand and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Is… is he really a human? He is wearing things weighing two thousand kg, and with him walking in the gravity room, that is equivalent to four thousand kg… four tonnes! If he was human, he would have long been crushed into meat paste!
The receptionist, who was looking at Qin Fen on the screen, was even more shocked than the manager.
There was no one inside the gravity chamber with double the gravity. In this private room that was over a thousand square meters, Qin Fen moved his hands and feet lightly with inexplicable ease. Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists, Arhat Fists, Hong Quan, Oolong Fists, Azure Dragon Fists, Three Style Buddha’s Vanquishing Devil Palm, and also that set of Martial Fists of Sacred Martial Hall kept on appearing on his arms and legs. More importantly, his figure was getting faster and faster.
The receptionist felt that her eyes could not keep up with Qin Fen’s figure. He is wearing armaments weighing two thousand kg in a gravity chamber with double the gravity!
Just as Manager Hua approached the display and looked at Qin Fen’s situation, his face that had just regained a bit of complexion turned pale again. He was not surprised by his terrifying speed, but by his kicks and punches…
That… that set of punches… Manager Hua had déjà vu. Very soon, he remembered how a martial artist, who had been invited by Sacred Martial Hall, had fought.
This is the same set of punches shown by that martial artist who had received the invitation from the Sacred Martial Hall! That’s right! Manager Hua’s pounding heart was about to explode. He didn’t expect to see that very same fist that he had seen a few years ago again! And to appear on such a young martial artist at that!
The most important point is… Manager Hua was sure that this young man named Qin Fen had a very deep understanding of this Sacred Martial Hall’s set of punches.
Charm! Kicks and punches have a form and a spirit! Many people can display the form but those who could display the spirit can be counted on fingers. Manager Hua remembered the instructor, who taught martial arts in the club, had once said this.
That day, Manager Hua was unable to understand the essence of this sentence. But suddenly, he came to a realization after seeing the rising and falling arms and legs of Qin Fen. This young man can display that so-called charm, not just the form! That’s the only reason he gives the onlooker a natural feeling.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…
Qin Fen’s arms and feet still didn’t stop. Under the pressure, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art running inside his body truly felt like an ice-breaking true dragon. He had never felt his meridians so enriched, which made him more and more excited. With his excitement shooting through the roof, a light was shed on some problems in martial dao that he had not been able to see through until now.
Manager Hua’s smile was filled with powerlessness. Today is truly a good day to temper my heart! This young man has been practicing for almost an hour and only now did sweat appear on his forehead. What kind of physical strength does he have?
And then there is that! Manager Hua took a closer look at the tiles of the gravity chamber. Although the tiles of this room were strengthened, they were still as weak as freshly baked tarts before this two-ton monster. Just a step was enough to make them shatter into pieces.
However, even after an hour, only seven of these tiles had actually been broken! Out of which only one had been crushed to pieces, while the rest had a varying degree of fissures. What terrifying control… Manager Hua took a sudden deep breath and felt a coldness he had never felt before. This young master… No! This young master doesn’t just have a big force behind him, he has his own strength to back himself up. He is worth investing in!
In the vast gravity chamber, the sweat on Qin Fen’s arm flew in the air as he displayed the Flowing Whipstrike. His sleeves constantly flapped in the air while the tiles underneath his feet creaked every time he took a step. But despite everything, not a single crack appeared on them anymore. After having trained under gravity for a long time, his control started to improve.
Qin Fen looked about the gravity chamber after having finished his training. If I could train in here for three to five months, I believe I would not break any tile under my feet.
As Qin Fen pushed the door open and walked out of the room, Qin Fen suddenly felt light, as if he was naked and free, with the disappearance of the extra gravity weight.
“Mister Qin.” Manager Hua came forward and handed out a white towel. “We have the most comfortable bathing center here. Sir, do you want to take a bath after a meal or take a bath and then eat?”
Having taken the towel, Qin Fen wiped off the sweat off his forehead. “I will take a bath first.”
Since everything was free after he had paid to enter the Pegasus Fitness Club, Qin Fen did not hold back.
“Right, about this heavy-lead suit…”
“Mister Qin.” Manager Hua interrupted Qin Fen. “This set of heavy-lead suit is innerwear type. We can’t let other customers wear it after you have worn it, right? This will be very detrimental to our reputation.”
“Will it be my exclusive suit?” Qin Fen remembered that he needed to have a VIP gold card to have this right.
“No, no, no…” Manager Hua motioned his hands, again and again. “I wanted to tell you that this heavy-lead suit is a gift to you.”
“What?”
The towel, which Qin Fen was wiping off his sweat with, froze at his forehead as he looked at Manager Hua blankly. This suit was worth millions, at the very least!
“Yes.” Manager Hua smiled. “This heavy-lead suit is not necessarily suitable for other people to wear. As the saying goes, give the cosmetics to a beautiful girl and present the treasured blade to a hero. This may not be a treasured blade, but… haha…”
Qin fen lowered his head, looking at the heavy-lead suit, which gave him immense satisfaction, before raising his head slowly. “What do I need to pay? There are no free lunches in this world, right?”
Manager Hua, looking at those emotionless eyes of Qin Fen, secretly praised in his heart. He is indeed a descendant of a big family. Even before the expensive heavy-lead suit, which is worth millions, he isn’t the least bit excited over getting sudden benefits. It’s as if this thing that’s worth millions was as cheap as steamed buns on the streets.
“Haha, is there anything that can be taken in exchange for nothing?” Manager Hua had already practiced his professional smile to the level where it gave an intimate feeling to others. “If I have any intentions, then it is that I really want to use this suit to be friends with you. I wonder if Mister Qin would honor this face of mine?”
Qin Fen lightly nodded. Although the smile was a hypocritical professional smile, his words were still true; there wasn’t any hidden conspiracy in it.
“This friendship…” Qin Fen dragged his tone as he lifted his finger, pointing at the heavy-lead suit. “Isn’t cheap.”
A real sense of joy and happiness appeared in that professional smile of Manager Hua. The other side being kind of enough to recognize the sentiments was much better than he had expected.
Manager Hua and the receptionist followed Qin Fen to the baths before stopping. All the equipment here was separated. There was no big bathhouse. Nonetheless, it did not make people feel claustrophobic.
