Clumsy Flirting Tactics

The person who arrived behind him was Qiao Zishu.

Although Qiao Zishu was also a Subspecies, her father was a Superior Species and her mother a Subspecies, so her family was fairly well-off.

Seeing that Fu Junlin had also come to get a membership card, a rare fleeting smile appeared on Qiao Zishu's face.

She had never smiled at any boy before.

"Hello."

Fu Junlin greeted her with a goofy grin.

Qiao Zishu casually took out a card and handed it to the receptionist. As she sized up Fu Junlin's legs, she teased,

"Didn't they slice you up for research?"

"Almost!"

Fu Junlin immediately nodded in an exaggerated manner.

Qiao Zishu pursed her lips and chuckled, then returned to her usual indifferent expression and gestured inward with her eyes.

"Want to go in together?"

Besides being favorably impressed by Fu Junlin saving her, Qiao Zishu was even more interested in his physique.

She also wanted to know what he looked like when he trained, and whether he would suddenly swell up again.

"Sure. You go in first. I'll be right there."

Fu Junlin nodded, and only then did Qiao Zishu head off with her bag to change.

"Get me a one-year membership! The 2,000 one!"

Fu Junlin gritted his teeth and said directly to the girl at the front desk.

Big Black immediately muttered sarcastically inside him,

"Old pervert..."

Fu Junlin rolled his eyes helplessly. He admitted that he was rather clueless when it came to romance.

But he had only ever had that kind of fantasy about his teacher, Shi Hongyu.

As for other girls, what he felt was more like curiosity.

Because he thought girls were mostly adorable creatures. Who wouldn't like adorable creatures?!

After getting his one-year membership card, Fu Junlin carefully put it away.

This was 2,000 yuan.

After getting his card and changing clothes, a fragrant breeze swept over from behind him. Qiao Zishu had already changed into a tight-fitting workout outfit and walked over.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Fu Junlin before she headed toward the warm-up area as though challenging him.

Working out had its proper steps.

Warm-ups before exercise and stretching afterward both required care. They could protect the muscles and improve athletic performance.

Fu Junlin wanted to warm up too.

But Big Black's incessant muttering came from inside him.

"Don't warm up, don't warm up, don't warm up..."

Fu Junlin's eye twitched as he remembered.

Other people worked out to strengthen their muscles, so naturally they had to protect them.

But he worked out to destroy his muscles. The more thoroughly they were destroyed, the better. Why the hell would he protect them?

So, under Qiao Zishu's dumbfounded gaze, Fu Junlin walked over to the barbell area. He first moved a barbell beneath the cable machine, then grabbed the upper bar with both hands.

Hooking the barbell with the tops of his feet, he immediately started doing pull-ups.

Qiao Zishu froze on the spot.

As Fu Junlin worked out, he kept glancing in her direction. Sometimes he used both hands, sometimes just one.

Watching him actually made Qiao Zishu blush.

This Fu Junlin was putting on such an obvious display in front of her. Could this be...

Thinking that, Qiao Zishu did not know how she felt, but she inexplicably found it funny. She let out a snort of laughter and rolled her eyes at Fu Junlin.

The male students working out nearby all shot him murderous looks.

Holy shit!

This guy had no shame at all!!

You didn't have to be this obvious just to show off in front of a girl, did you? Weren't you embarrassed, bro??

How could he not be embarrassed?

Junlin was practically about to explode on the spot.

He kept looking toward Qiao Zishu because he was checking whether she was watching him. He even hoped she had not seen it. This was way too humiliating.

But unfortunately, Big Black was controlling his body right now. It could train wherever it wanted, and he could not interfere at all.

Although the boys around him were shooting him murderous looks, they were soon shocked by Fu Junlin's physique.

This bastard's flirting tactics might have been atrociously clumsy.

But they really could not pull off what he was doing.

The barbell on the ground had two thirty-kilogram plates on each side, making 120 kilograms. Add the twenty-kilogram bar, and it came to 140 kilograms.

Hooking 140 kilograms with his feet and still doing one-arm pull-ups was no longer a matter of whether his muscles could handle it.

They simply could not pull themselves up at all.

At minimum, this required a Level-Two Master, and one who was a Fistmaster at that.

What kind of monster was this? Wasn't he a Level-One Master?

What left everyone even more dumbfounded was that he never came down from the cable machine after climbing onto it.

He pulled with his left hand, then his right, then both hands. Muscle-Ups, Russian Planche—he had all kinds of tricks, going at it for more than ten minutes straight.

When he finally came down, he was actually gripping a Battle Banner.

A dark green glow spread out, and his muscles suddenly shuddered several times, helping his completely torn muscles recover.

At that point, the boys in the distance could no longer take it.

They shouted in dissatisfaction,

"Hey! Bro, could you heal yourself in the restroom? I just found that muscle-soreness point where I can exert force, and one healing spell made me completely comfortable!"

"Exactly! I'm so comfortable I could lie down!"

Someone else chimed in sourly.

"Sorry!"

Fu Junlin hurriedly apologized to everyone while continuing to work out.

After that, he could only go to the restroom to heal himself. Over the course of an hour, he healed himself four times.

Qiao Zishu was utterly stunned.

Qiao Zishu barely worked out the entire time. At first, she had thought Fu Junlin was just trying to show off in front of her.

But showing off for an entire hour was no longer showing off. This was his normal training...

No wonder Fu Junlin's strength was so freakish.

So he had been hiding his abilities, constantly maintaining the training intensity of a Level-Two Master.

Still, while everyone was greatly surprised, it was not enough for them to spread the news everywhere.

Among Subspecies, there was never any shortage of stubborn people who worked silently and held themselves back while waiting to amaze everyone.

A person's energy was limited.

Many Superior Species focused on training their shields, because shields could save their lives at critical moments. At the very least, they trained both their shields and physiques.

As for Mighty-Species People, they possessed even more terrifying Ultra-Energy Control.

That overwhelmingly powerful ability alone was enough to make them the core of a small combat squad.

No matter what profession they had, they possessed extremely destructive power.

Thus, Mighty-Species People devoted nearly all their energy to training Ultra-Energy Control. Any remaining energy went toward strengthening their shields.

Only Subspecies had nothing but their physiques.

So they desperately improved their physiques.

Fu Junlin was probably one of those people. Qiao Zishu regarded him with somewhat greater respect.

He had such strength, yet never boasted about it. He was unbelievably low-key, and he always turned the tide at crucial moments. He was far better than those boys who thought they were invincible just because they had a little ability!

Fu Junlin had no idea that he had already gained a measure of approval in Qiao Zishu's heart.

After finishing his training, he regained control of his body.

Although several Healing Battle Flags had healed all his injuries, the exhaustion remained. Sweat squeezed out from Fu Junlin's pores, and after he sat in the rest area for only a moment, the floor beneath him was wet.

Anyone who did not know better would have thought he was leaking.

Bored out of his mind, Fu Junlin looked up at a television in the rest area.

A news report was playing on the television, drawing Fu Junlin's attention.
