13: Chapter 13 Fun Things at the Gym

The next day.

After purchasing supplies, Ji Yebai was preparing to contact a driver to return to the mountains.

But suddenly, someone handed him a flyer.

Picking it up and looking closely, he found it was the gym's third-anniversary celebration, offering free trials and half-price memberships.

Ji Yebai's interest was piqued when he saw this.

This gym had a Strength Testing Machine available for people to try.

This was somewhat tempting for Ji Yebai.

"Go try my current pure strength?!"

Ji Yebai's interest rose. After some thought, he left his supplies with the shop owner, opened Beidou Navigation, and followed the address to find it.

In his previous life, after becoming a Third-rate Martial Artist, he possessed Divine Valor Strength.

The minimum standard for Divine Valor Strength was the ability to strike with a thousand catties of force with bare hands.

That is, the conventional five hundred kilograms.

Of course, this was the minimum standard.

It was said that there were Martial Artists who specialized in Body Refining who could strike with three thousand catties of force with a single hand.

In his previous life, Ji Yebai had six Breakthroughs, leaving behind hidden injuries and a weak physical foundation; his Divine Brave Body could barely strike with just over a thousand catties, only just meeting the minimum for Divine Valor Strength.

But this life was different.

From the very beginning, his foundation had been continuously strengthening.

Especially after embarking on the Path of a Hundred Refinements, his body had become stronger by more than one Rank.

Therefore, Ji Yebai also wanted to see what level he was currently at.

...

The gym.

"Sir, are you here for a trial, or do you have a membership?!"

Seeing the flyer in Ji Yebai's hand, the beautiful saleswoman at the front desk immediately asked with a smile.

"A trial!"

Ji Yebai said softly.

"Xiao Li, this gentleman wants a trial!"

Hearing this, the beautiful saleswoman shouted loudly to the side.

Then, a young man came down.

He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Next, Xiao Li personally took Ji Yebai to start getting familiar with the equipment.

In fact, when Ji Yebai worked at Yunchou Information, he had also signed up for a gym membership in his spare time.

However, the number of times he went in a year could be counted on his fingers.

After all, once one starts working, time is no longer their own.

Xiao Li took him around to get familiar with the equipment, told Ji Yebai to feel free to try anything as long as he didn't hurt himself, and then walked away.

It was already afternoon, and not a day off, so the gym was not yet packed.

Ji Yebai glanced at the Strength Testing Machine; many youngsters were messing around there. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked toward the treadmills.

There were the fewest people there.

He could warm up while he was at it.

Turning on the treadmill, Ji Yebai set it directly to level three and then started running.

When he had a gym membership while working, the few times he went were to run, so he was quite familiar with the operation.

The speed of level three was a pace of 10km/h, which, relatively speaking, was already considered a fast setting.

Therefore, the speed of Ji Yebai's steps was suddenly highlighted against the backdrop of the few slow runners nearby.

Because of this, a well-built coach with a long waist and long legs walked over.

"Sir, when you start running, it's best to start at a low speed and then increase it once you've adapted. Moreover, to be honest, seeking high speed right from the start is a mistake. Professional fitness people like us wouldn't do that. Sir, you should find a personal trainer for some one-on-one training!"

Ji Yebai: "..."

He was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

He had practiced martial arts for many years and had his own running habits; furthermore, his Qi sense could vaguely feel the reactions of every muscle in his body.

Although his movements weren't necessarily the most standard, they were definitely the most suitable for him.

And this coach was clearly trying to sell personal training lessons.

This kind of thing was very common in gyms.

In fact, once you reject one coach, different coaches will appear soon after, taking turns to explain their courses.

Ji Yebai thought about that scene and shook his head slightly.

It would be quite annoying!

Thinking of this, Ji Yebai turned his head and said to him, "I have my own way of exercising, please do not disturb me!"

After saying that.

Ji Yebai turned the treadmill setting to the maximum.

He began to run with a roar.

That speed surpassed a hundred-meter sprint.

"Hey, sir, you..."

Seeing Ji Yebai's actions, the coach immediately panicked. If something went wrong running like this, wouldn't he be involved?!

Ji Yebai glanced at him without speaking.

That look made the coach's face flush.

"I want to see how many seconds you can last at level five!!!"

The coach was unhappy and waited for Ji Yebai to stop with some malicious joy.

He was already prepared; as soon as Ji Yebai stopped, he would mock him heavily.

Level five speed.

Equivalent to a speed of 25km/h.

At such a high speed, almost no one could last more than thirty seconds except for professional athletes or masters in the running circle.

But...

10 seconds...

20 seconds...

30 seconds...

50 seconds...

At this time.

The few people running on the treadmills nearby had all stopped.

They looked at Ji Yebai, their faces full of interest.

Lasting so long at level five speed.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

If your burst is strong, everyone is surprised for a moment;

But if your burst is strong and you can also endure, that is extraordinary.

By this time, the coach's face had turned dark.

Running at level five speed for nearly a minute!!!

And clearly with ease...

Is this a freaking professional athlete?!

One minute had already exceeded a distance of four hundred meters, yet Ji Yebai was still maintaining his original speed, and his breathing wasn't at all ragged.

This far exceeded him.

Although he could also force himself to endure for a minute, his face would definitely be flushed red and he would be dripping with sweat.

Seeing that it had achieved the desired effect, Ji Yebai lowered the speed and stopped.

Seeing him stop, the coach immediately took a step forward, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Master, I'm impressed! You're a professional athlete, right?! Looking at you, you could probably keep running, couldn't you?!"

Ji Yebai smiled and said, "I'm not a professional athlete, I just like running!"

"Understood, understood!"

The coach was suddenly enlightened.

It seemed the master was from the running circle, and most likely a wild running enthusiast.

Thinking of this, the coach found an excuse and said, "Then you continue your workout, Master. I'll go guide my students first!"

After saying that, he left!

Ji Yebai glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

This person was quite sensible.

Afterward, Ji Yebai went to the weightlifting area; this time he just warmed up casually without attracting too much attention.

Unfortunately.

Ji Yebai didn't have the chance to test his strength.

The Strength Testing Machine was always quite popular, with people playing on it constantly.

Once his interest waned, Ji Yebai turned back.

He contacted the driver, loaded his supplies, and entered the mountains again.

The scenic area of Zhangjiajie was as beautiful as ever; the mountains of Yuanjiajie were shrouded in mist, with strange peaks and steep cliffs, like a miniature Immortal Realm.

Accompanied by the beautiful scenery, Ji Yebai returned to the cave.
