"If you can lift a 120-kilogram dumbbell with one hand and stand straight for three seconds, you get a year’s free gym mbership..."
Li Jing walked with An Tong into the venue, glanced at the challenge explanation sign nearby, and softly read it aloud before smiling:
"120 kilograms is quite heavy, but with so many fitness enthusiasts in our gym, there should be quite a few who can successfully challenge it, right?"
Li Jing hasn’t been at the gym for long, so he doesn’t have much of a concept of lifting a 120-kilogram dumbbell with one hand for three seconds.
In fact, not just Li Jing, even regular gym-goers wouldn’t understand the difficulty of this challenge unless they tried it themselves.
The fact that so many people failed the challenge just now is the best proof.
However, after so many people had failed, when Li Jing, as the owner, said this, it imdiately made everyone feel a bit awkward.
Especially the athletes who had just failed; they felt as if they were being mocked, their expressions not very pleasant.
Huang Jun noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped forward: "Brother Jing, this 120 kilograms is already very heavy, and it’s lifted with one hand..."
"If President Li thinks this challenge isn’t hard, why not try it himself, then he’ll know its difficulty."
The thing Zhou Shun feared most happened. As Brother Shun, whose most disciples just failed the challenge, he couldn’t help but speak up when he saw how casually Li Jing talked about it.
When the others heard this, they all showed slight reactions. Although due to Li Jing’s status, they couldn’t jeer, but the looks on them clearly hoped Li Jing would try it himself.
Originally, those gathered around to watch the challenge were mostly fitness enthusiasts and gym-goers. Now, seeing a seemingly slender and not particularly strong rich second-generation kid, they instinctively all stood on the sa line, waiting to see Li Jing make a fool of himself.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shun knew it wasn’t good and stepped forward to diate: "This challenge even athletes might not succeed at. Brother Li, although he works out, hasn’t been doing it for long enough, there’s no need..."
"It’s okay, it’s just a ga, trying it won’t hurt."
Li Jing, however, seed unconcerned and with a warm smile said, "Even if I fail, it’s not embarrassing. If you don’t even dare to try, that’s what’s truly cowardly."
On saying this, everyone looked a bit surprised, apparently not expecting Li Jing to have such an attitude.
Even Great Year, who was biased against Li Jing at first, raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, the words he was about to say swallowed back, quietly waiting for his challenge...
"Li Jing, go for it!"
While everyone was waiting to see Li Jing fail, only An Tong genuinely thought he might succeed in the challenge.
When she spoke up, she imdiately drew the attention of others.
Seeing the refined and beautiful An Tong, many people’s eyes flashed with amazent, and they couldn’t help feeling more jealous and envious of Li Jing in the center, starting to subtly hope he’d screw up and embarrass himself in front of the beauty.
"Brother Shun, even though Brother Jing works out, he hasn’t specifically trained for strength..."
Huang Jun was full of worry as Li Jing’s fitness plan over the past few months was personally overseen by him, knowing the opponent’s physical level, so he never considered the possibility of Li Jing succeeding in the challenge.
Zhou Shun sighed and shook his head: "But with things at this point, pulling him out would instead make people think he’s too cowardly, just let him try.
If soone really dares to say sothing rude later, make sure to handle it promptly."
Huang Jun nodded in response; now all he could do after Li Jing failed was to try to control the scene so that people wouldn’t openly say anything too harsh.
"Why are you all so worried?"
At this mont, hearing the conversation between the two, Great Year calmly spoke: "It’s just a ga, President Li already said winning or losing doesn’t matter, why are you all so keen on protecting his face.
I think, if President Li tries the challenge openly and honestly fails without putting on airs or making excuses, I would definitely look up to him."
Hearing this, Zhou Shun was a little surprised, but the look towards the scene still carried so concern.
By now Li Jing had already walked up to the dumbbell, and when he was really about to pick up this 120-kilogram dumbbell, he felt the enormity of it.
Honestly, Li Jing wasn’t confident himself; although the system had boosted his strength, he didn’t know how much exactly, which is why he was interested in giving it a try.
Otherwise, with his previous body strength, Li Jing would never consider attempting this challenge.
After all, 120 kilograms is equivalent to the weight of two adults, and lifting it with one hand and standing straight for three seconds is definitely not sothing an ordinary person can do.
"Whoo..."
He took a deep breath, took off his suit jacket for the ease of movent, revealing the white shirt underneath.
It was only then that everyone noticed that under the fitting effect of the white shirt, Li Jing’s body seed to have a faint inverted triangle shape.
Even though you couldn’t see the muscle lines because of the clothing, just this shape made so of those prepared to see a joke show a surprised expression.
Great Year also raised his eyebrows slightly, a few traces of surprise appeared in his eyes: "President Li’s physique looks pretty good, doesn’t seem like soone who’s only been working out for a short ti, as you said, right?"
Seeing this, Zhou Shun was even more surprised, couldn’t help but glance at Huang Jun beside him, who also shook his head in confusion.
Scratch... Scratch...
With a faint sound of friction, under the focused gaze of everyone, Li Jing finally grasped the dumbbell.
Damn, it’s really heavy.
The mont Li Jing exerted himself to lift the dumbbell, he imdiately felt the imnse weight pass through his right hand’s palm.
