Chapter 78 - Can Only Pull a Tiny Little Bit
“Who are you? How co I've never seen you in this gym before?”
Having his attempt to hit on a girl interrupted, ng Lei's brows furrowed tightly as he stared at Lin Fan, extrely annoyed.
Lin Fan released his wrist and said indifferently: “Just got my mbership today. I'm new.”
“Ho ho, a newcor. No wonder you don't know .”
ng Lei sneered, his eyes sizing Lin Fan up and down.
“Your physique is so-so, I guess. A far cry from mine.”
“Watch. This is what you call a physique!”
As he spoke, ng Lei took off his shirt, turned his back to Lin Fan, and struck a back double biceps pose.
The explosive muscles piled together, looking just like the face of a demon from legend.
By now, many people nearby had heard the commotion and cast curious glances over. Seeing ng Lei's knotted muscles, a series of gasps rang out:
“That back, those biceps, they're so explosive!”
“Could that be the legendary Demon Back?!”
“Who is this guy? He's so jacked!”
“You don't even know him? He's the poster boy for this Buff Club! All the records on the wall are his!”
“……”
Listening to the crowd's gasps and praise, ng Lei's face grew even more smug. He relaxed his pose, turned to face Lin Fan, his expression full of mocking ridicule.
“Kid, in front of your little girlfriend, how about competing with like a man?”
“Woah!”
As soon as he said this, the gym erupted in an uproar.
With ng Lei's heavyweight physique, and the fact that he was specially trained, how could anyone other than a professional athlete possibly compete with him.
Besides, although the man standing before him had a decent build, he was visibly almost two sizes smaller than ng Lei. This was just plain bullying!
No sane person would possibly agree!
“Sure. What do you want to compete in?”
Lin Fan smiled slightly and agreed without hesitation.
At this, everyone present lost their calm.
“Is he crazy?!”
“With his small build, compete with ng Lei? Who gave him the courage?”
“Sigh, young and reckless. I really don't know if he's confident or just arrogant.”
“Needless to say, it's another one who's just putting up a brave front.”
“……”
Having recovered, Zhou Yan curiously ca over to join the crowd. When he saw it was Lin Fan about to compete with ng Lei, he anxiously pushed his way to the front.
“Lin Fan, are you really going to compete with this big lug?”
“I've heard this guy has destroyed a lot of people in lifting competitions. He's super strong!”
Lin Fan smiled without saying a word, took a step forward, and calmly stood before ng Lei.
“Hmph, in the past, everyone else has always avoided . In all these years, you're the first one in the gym to approach proactively.”
“On account of your comndable courage, I'll let you pick the competition. Any event in this gym is fine.”
ng Lei proclaid confidently.
Lin Fan's gaze swept across the gym. He looked up at the records hanging on the wall, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, and raised a hand to point at the record photos on the wall.
“Then let's compete in the deadlift.”
“Woah!”
As his voice fell, the entire place once again erupted in an uproar.
“Crazy! He's crazy! He's really gone mad!”
“Of all the events, he just had to pick the one ng Lei is best at!”
“No need to watch. It's a foregone conclusion.”
“……”
It wasn't just the crowd; even ng Lei looked at him in disbelief.
“You want to compete with in the deadlift? With that small fra, can you even pull it?”
“I can, but only a tiny little bit,” Lin Fan said with a light chuckle.
“Hahaha, you can only pull a tiny little bit, and you still dare to compete with ?”
ng Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing. He then walked straight to the barbell and called for others to help him keep adding weight.
Soon, a barbell weighing 240 kilograms was assembled.
“The last record was 230 kilograms. This ti, I'll challenge 240. Consider it breaking a record while also showing you a thing or two!”
“To show you what 'there's always soone better' ans!”
ng Lei strapped on his lifting belt, got into his stance, and gripped the bar with both hands.
At this mont, everyone in the gym held their breath, ready to witness a new record.
“Nnngh!”
Under the crowd's focused gaze, ng Lei fiercely lifted the barbell. The veins on his arms bulged, and his face instantly turned crimson from the strain.
In almost the span of a single breath, he successfully pulled up the barbell.
“He did it!”
“He broke the record again!”
“There's no way anyone in this gym can break his record now!”
Thud!
ng Lei dropped the barbell heavily and looked triumphantly at Lin Fan.
“Your turn, kid.”
Lin Fan said nothing and walked straight up to the 240kg barbell.
Before he even began, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but show expressions of wanting to see a good show.
“To dare compete with ng Lei in the deadlift, he's truly young and ignorant.”
“I bet he can't even budge it.”
“Hahaha, if he can lift it even one centiter, I'll count him as amazing.”
“……”
Amidst the crowd's mockery, Lin Fan grasped the bar with a single hand. He casually straightened up, directly lifting the barbell. His face wasn't red, he wasn't out of breath, and there wasn't even a trace of tension in his arm muscles, as if what he was holding wasn't a 240-kilogram barbell, but a piece of cotton candy.
“HUH?!!”
In that instant, everyone's jaws dropped, completely dumbstruck with shock.
A one-handed deadlift of 240 kilograms?!
Is that sothing a human can do?!
Why does he look so relaxed?!
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Lin Fan, still holding the barbell with one hand, started doing bicep curls.
Everyone's brains crashed.
Wait, I've never heard of anyone in the world who can use a 240kg barbell as a dumbbell with one hand!
“Hmm… a bit light.”
Lin Fan put the barbell down, and to himself, added a few more 25-kilogram plates, bringing the weight directly up to 340 kilograms.
However, even with this terrifying weight of 340 kilograms, he still lifted it with one hand with ease and unhurriedly did a few sets of single-arm flyes…
“Your records don't seem all that impressive, do they.”
Lin Fan put down the barbell, gave ng Lei a mocking smile, and then looked up at his other records hanging on the wall.
Seeing he also had a 200kg bench press record, he walked directly over to the bench press station.
As it happened, the barbell that Zhou Yan had loaded to over 200 kilograms was still on the bench. He conveniently used that one, doing several dozen reps in one go.
The gym was dead silent. The crowd just stared at him blankly.
In their eyes, a weight of two or three hundred kilograms was near the limit of human strength, but he handled it as easily as drinking water. You couldn't even see a trace of fatigue on him!
Only Long Yue, among everyone present, knew that a re two or three hundred kilograms was nothing to the Demon Sovereign; it didn't even count as a warm-up.
Although she didn't know exactly how much spiritual power he had left, flipping over the entire gym with one hand should still be no problem for him...
BANG!
Lin Fan forcefully pushed the barbell from his hands. The 200-plus-kilogram barbell flew through the air and, without the slightest deviation, crashed down at ng Lei's feet.
ng Lei's eyes were filled with terror. He stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move a muscle, as a stream of warm liquid trickled down from his feet.
At this mont, only one thought remained in his mind:
Mommy, it turns out there really are supern in this world…
