7: Don't be so cool, the tester is broken

“432? I didn’t see that wrong, did I?!”

“Impossible, this is already close to the level of a Owner (Gym Owner)!”

“Is it… is the equipment broken?”

…

Not only the students, but even the coaches found it hard to believe.

The strongest among them was only a little over two hundred, yet this seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man, with a casual punch, unleashed such terrifying power?

Li Xiuyuan stared at the numbers on the equipment, dumbfounded.

“Sis, Brother-in-law, you…”

“So you’re that fierce!”

After the initial shock, he suddenly reacted, his face turning crimson.

A combat power of 432!

Even if Qin Ming was stupid or overbearing, he wouldn’t dare offend such a strong Martial Artist of the same level.

It seemed this negotiation had a chance!

A coach frowned and walked towards the equipment, pressing a few buttons before suddenly looking at everyone.

“This piece of equipment seems to be retired from the military. It only arrived yesterday, and the force parameters haven’t been calibrated yet, so there might be errors in the test results.”

The onlookers suddenly understood and started discussing animatedly.

“I knew it!”

“I almost fell for it.”

“Tch, after all that, it was just a false alarm…”

“What a waste of time, everyone disperse!”

“Broken?” Su Lei twisted his neck, a slight smile playing on his lips. “Then get it calibrated for me.”

“Try again!”

The front desk girl gave him a disdainful look, her voice growing colder. “Let’s stop here. If you break anything here, you two won’t be able to afford it.”

Su Lei gently shook his head. “Is this the service attitude of your Martial Arts gym? It’s truly disappointing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of mockery erupted from the surroundings.

“Hey, you’d better speak more politely!”

“Do you really think you’re someone important?”

“What are you pretending for?”

Before everyone could continue their taunts, heavy footsteps suddenly echoed from the corridor.

“Gym Owner Qin is here!”

The crowd parted like a tide, and a burly man in a suit strode in, surrounded by people.

He had a stern face, a buzz cut, and a hideous scar ran from his forehead across his cheek. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s.

“Li Xiuyuan, after all these days of hiding, you finally decided to show up.”

Qin Ming’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, finally settling on Li Xiuyuan, and he said coldly, “Where’s the money?”

Li Xiuyuan’s expression stiffened, and he instinctively shrank his neck, looking to Su Lei for help.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, his gaze shifting to Su Lei, sizing him up.

The front desk girl quickly leaned into his ear and whispered, “Gym Owner, this person came with Li Xiuyuan. While waiting for you just now, he punched out a combat power of 432…”

“Hmm?” Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, his gaze instantly sharpening.

The coach beside him quickly added, “The equipment’s parameters haven’t been calibrated yet, the data isn’t accurate!”

“It’s probably only about 200 at most.”

Qin Ming nodded slightly, but his eyes still held a scrutinizing look.

Poor scholars, rich Martial Artists. One could largely judge a Martial Artist’s strength from their appearance.

Strong Martial Artists earned money with ease and would never dress so ordinarily.

Although Su Lei’s clothes were neat, in Qin Ming’s eyes, he was no different from those ordinary people struggling at the bottom.

But strangely, the calm confidence emanating from him didn’t seem to be faked at all…

“Li Xiuyuan violated the contract, it’s written clearly in black and white.”

Qin Ming sneered, “Are Your Excellency going to stand up for him?”

Su Lei didn’t answer directly. Instead, he turned to the force measuring device beside him, his tone indifferent.

“It’s truly disappointing that your gym even uses second-hand force measuring devices.” He paused, his gaze sweeping around. “So short on money, no wonder you resort to such despicable methods.”

Qin Ming’s eyes turned cold.

Su Lei continued, “Instead of focusing on these underhanded tactics, you might as well think about how to improve your gym’s service and equipment. If things continue like this, I’m afraid you’re not far from bankruptcy.”

At these words, the coaches’ faces changed dramatically.

The students watching were even more in an uproar, whispers rising and falling.

Qin Ming raised a hand to silence the agitated crowd, his gaze fixed on Su Lei, enunciating each word. “I’d like to see how much combat power you can punch out.”

“Someone, calibrate it for him!”

Several coaches quickly stepped forward, adjusting the parameters on the force measuring device, the metal buttons emitting crisp “beep-beep” sounds.

The entire training room was silent, everyone holding their breath, their gaze focused on Su Lei.

Li Xiuyuan secretly glanced at Qin Ming’s gloomy face, then at Su Lei’s tall back, his Adam’s apple bobbing with difficulty.

A moment later.

“Calibration complete, the data is absolutely accurate now.” The coach stepped back two paces, gesturing. “Mr. Su, please.”

Su Lei casually flexed his wrist and slowly walked towards the force measuring device.

Qin Ming stood with his arms crossed, watching with cold eyes.

He didn’t believe this seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man could punch out a very high number.

Even if he truly had some skill, he could never surpass himself.

Su Lei stopped, taking a deep breath.

In an instant, his entire Aura suddenly changed!

His previously relaxed muscles instantly tensed, his spine straightened like a steel whip, and his bones and joints emitted faint “crackling” sounds.

His right fist slowly pulled back, the movement seemingly slow, yet it gave off a sense of poised pressure, like a fully drawn powerful bow.

“Bang—!”

The moment his fist connected with the force measuring device, a thunderous roar erupted!

The force measuring device vibrated violently, the base screws emitting a groaning “creak” under the strain.

The numbers on the electronic screen flickered wildly.

200… 300… 400…

Finally, it settled on a breathtaking value—

【Combat Power: 489】

The students were dumbfounded, and the coaches’ faces turned ugly.

“This is impossible!” A coach exclaimed in disbelief, “I clearly calibrated the parameters according to the latest standards…”

The next moment, people instantly realized something.

The test device was indeed broken.

The displayed value was not inflated, but rather… deliberately suppressed by the military personnel!

489…

This had already broken the record that Gym Owner Qin Ming had held for five years!

Qin Ming’s pupils constricted, the scar on his face appearing even more ferocious due to his tensed muscles.

He stared intently at the force measuring device, then at Su Lei, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Brother-in-law! Awesome, absolutely awesome!” Li Xiuyuan was so excited he was incoherent.

If it weren’t for the crowd, he would have loved to let out a long howl!

Su Lei slowly retracted his fist, looking calmly at Qin Ming. “Now, we can discuss the contract.”

Qin Ming’s expression was unpredictable.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly grinned, though there was no warmth in his smile.

“Good, very good. I didn’t expect Mr. Li to know such a master.”

“May I ask Your Excellency’s name and which Martial Arts gym you are currently employed at?”

“Su Lei.” Su Lei said indifferently, “No sect, no affiliation.”

A glint flashed in Qin Ming’s eyes: “Interesting… How about this.”

“Li Xiuyuan’s remaining debt can be written off.”

“However…”

“Your Excellency needs to serve as a coach for Qin’s Martial Arts Gym!”
