Chapter 320: Crouching Tiger of the City Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Generally, the gravity chamber in the Pegasus Fitness Club was just used as an embellishment of their tremendous strength. It only ever had a few guests. And today, it welcomed a weird guest.

The female administrator in charge of the gravity chamber looked at the three people behind Qin Fen with some curiosity. A receptionist is pretty normal but why is the high and aloof Manager Hua, who holds a lot of power, here as well? And then the warehouse keeper!?

**But this wasn’t the thing that surprised the administrator. What really piqued her curiosity was the countenance of the three, as pale as if they had fallen into a container and climbed out. Their eyes were flickering with shock, as if they had seen a prehistoric monster.

Double gravity is indeed a bit excessive, it needs a very resilient heart, but it has not reached the point of surprise!

After a while, Manager Hua raised his hand and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Is… is he really a human? He is wearing things weighing two thousand kg, and with him walking in the gravity room, that is equivalent to four thousand kg… four tonnes! If he was human, he would have long been crushed into meat paste!

The receptionist, who was looking at Qin Fen on the screen, was even more shocked than the manager.

There was no one inside the gravity chamber with double the gravity. In this private room that was over a thousand square meters, Qin Fen moved his hands and feet lightly with inexplicable ease. Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists, Arhat Fists, Hong Quan, Oolong Fists, Azure Dragon Fists, Three Style Buddha’s Vanquishing Devil Palm, and also that set of Martial Fists of Sacred Martial Hall kept on appearing on his arms and legs. More importantly, his figure was getting faster and faster.

The receptionist felt that her eyes could not keep up with Qin Fen’s figure. He is wearing armaments weighing two thousand kg in a gravity chamber with double the gravity!

Just as Manager Hua approached the display and looked at Qin Fen’s situation, his face that had just regained a bit of complexion turned pale again. He was not surprised by his terrifying speed, but by his kicks and punches…

That… that set of punches… Manager Hua had déjà vu. Very soon, he remembered how a martial artist, who had been invited by Sacred Martial Hall, had fought.

This is the same set of punches shown by that martial artist who had received the invitation from the Sacred Martial Hall! That’s right! Manager Hua’s pounding heart was about to explode. He didn’t expect to see that very same fist that he had seen a few years ago again! And to appear on such a young martial artist at that!

The most important point is… Manager Hua was sure that this young man named Qin Fen had a very deep understanding of this Sacred Martial Hall’s set of punches.

Charm! Kicks and punches have a form and a spirit! Many people can display the form but those who could display the spirit can be counted on fingers. Manager Hua remembered the instructor, who taught martial arts in the club, had once said this.

That day, Manager Hua was unable to understand the essence of this sentence. But suddenly, he came to a realization after seeing the rising and falling arms and legs of Qin Fen. This young man can display that so-called charm, not just the form! That’s the only reason he gives the onlooker a natural feeling.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…

Qin Fen’s arms and feet still didn’t stop. Under the pressure, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art running inside his body truly felt like an ice-breaking true dragon. He had never felt his meridians so enriched, which made him more and more excited. With his excitement shooting through the roof, a light was shed on some problems in martial dao that he had not been able to see through until now.

Manager Hua’s smile was filled with powerlessness. Today is truly a good day to temper my heart! This young man has been practicing for almost an hour and only now did sweat appear on his forehead. What kind of physical strength does he have?

And then there is that! Manager Hua took a closer look at the tiles of the gravity chamber. Although the tiles of this room were strengthened, they were still as weak as freshly baked tarts before this two-ton monster. Just a step was enough to make them shatter into pieces.

However, even after an hour, only seven of these tiles had actually been broken! Out of which only one had been crushed to pieces, while the rest had a varying degree of fissures. What terrifying control… Manager Hua took a sudden deep breath and felt a coldness he had never felt before. This young master… No! This young master doesn’t just have a big force behind him, he has his own strength to back himself up. He is worth investing in!

In the vast gravity chamber, the sweat on Qin Fen’s arm flew in the air as he displayed the Flowing Whipstrike. His sleeves constantly flapped in the air while the tiles underneath his feet creaked every time he took a step. But despite everything, not a single crack appeared on them anymore. After having trained under gravity for a long time, his control started to improve.

Qin Fen looked about the gravity chamber after having finished his training. If I could train in here for three to five months, I believe I would not break any tile under my feet.

As Qin Fen pushed the door open and walked out of the room, Qin Fen suddenly felt light, as if he was naked and free, with the disappearance of the extra gravity weight.

“Mister Qin.” Manager Hua came forward and handed out a white towel. “We have the most comfortable bathing center here. Sir, do you want to take a bath after a meal or take a bath and then eat?”

Having taken the towel, Qin Fen wiped off the sweat off his forehead. “I will take a bath first.”

Since everything was free after he had paid to enter the Pegasus Fitness Club, Qin Fen did not hold back.

“Right, about this heavy-lead suit…”

“Mister Qin.” Manager Hua interrupted Qin Fen. “This set of heavy-lead suit is innerwear type. We can’t let other customers wear it after you have worn it, right? This will be very detrimental to our reputation.”

“Will it be my exclusive suit?” Qin Fen remembered that he needed to have a VIP gold card to have this right.

“No, no, no…” Manager Hua motioned his hands, again and again. “I wanted to tell you that this heavy-lead suit is a gift to you.”

“What?”

The towel, which Qin Fen was wiping off his sweat with, froze at his forehead as he looked at Manager Hua blankly. This suit was worth millions, at the very least!

“Yes.” Manager Hua smiled. “This heavy-lead suit is not necessarily suitable for other people to wear. As the saying goes, give the cosmetics to a beautiful girl and present the treasured blade to a hero. This may not be a treasured blade, but… haha…”

Qin fen lowered his head, looking at the heavy-lead suit, which gave him immense satisfaction, before raising his head slowly. “What do I need to pay? There are no free lunches in this world, right?”

Manager Hua, looking at those emotionless eyes of Qin Fen, secretly praised in his heart. He is indeed a descendant of a big family. Even before the expensive heavy-lead suit, which is worth millions, he isn’t the least bit excited over getting sudden benefits. It’s as if this thing that’s worth millions was as cheap as steamed buns on the streets.

“Haha, is there anything that can be taken in exchange for nothing?” Manager Hua had already practiced his professional smile to the level where it gave an intimate feeling to others. “If I have any intentions, then it is that I really want to use this suit to be friends with you. I wonder if Mister Qin would honor this face of mine?”

Qin Fen lightly nodded. Although the smile was a hypocritical professional smile, his words were still true; there wasn’t any hidden conspiracy in it.

“This friendship…” Qin Fen dragged his tone as he lifted his finger, pointing at the heavy-lead suit. “Isn’t cheap.”

A real sense of joy and happiness appeared in that professional smile of Manager Hua. The other side being kind of enough to recognize the sentiments was much better than he had expected.

Manager Hua and the receptionist followed Qin Fen to the baths before stopping. All the equipment here was separated. There was no big bathhouse. Nonetheless, it did not make people feel claustrophobic.

After taking a shower, Qin Fen lifted the heavy suit off the ground in high spirits. The heavy-lead suit was designed to be silky. There was not a drop of sweat on it.

Qin Fen smiled once again as he thought that this kind of design was indeed necessary. Otherwise, it would always smell like sweat. Where could he find a washing machine that could wash a two-ton suit? Even if one wanted to wash it by hand, he might break his wrists.

Wearing the heavy-lead suit again, Qin Fen discovered that his whole body felt even more comfortable after wearing it.

“Mister Qin, shall we go have a meal now?”

Qin Fen touched his belly. He was really hungry after that tremendous exercise.

As they walked into an elegant dining room, Manager Hua pursed his lips into a complacent smile. The Pegasus Fitness Club’s restaurant was even more upscale than many of the five-star hotels. The food here was not only appealing but also delicious as well. Furthermore, the nutritionist here was a special genius that was hard to find in Shengjing.

“What do you think?”

Looking at Qin Fen taking his first bite, Manager Hua hastily asked with pride, waiting for continuous praises from Qin Fen.

“Taste is first-class.”

“You flatter us.” Manager Hua cupped his hands with vanity.

“The looks and fragrance are perfect.”

“You flatter us.” The vain smile on Manager Hua’s face was already beginning to bloom.

“It’s a bit lacking in nutrition.”

“You flatter… what?” Manager Hua had just spoken half his previous reply before he suddenly discovered that Qin Fen’s answer was no longer praise but rather, a complaint! This was a first since the club had opened!

Qin Fen pointed to a finished bowl of rice. “The nutritional mix is good but it’s not perfect and flawed.”

Manager Hua stared at Qin Fen in a daze. His two eyebrows, one high and one low, scowled together. Imperfect and flawed!? Is there a limit to your jokes? If you say that it’s not delicious, then it might be a matter of taste. If you say it does not look good, it might be accredited to a different sense of aestheticism. But if you talk about the nutritional mix…?

Manager Hua didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The nutritional mix is a comprehensive and profound subject. It doesn’t mean that a young man like you cannot point fingers at nutriology with your strong martial strength and background… but this is a completely different domain.

“It needs two and a half grams more oil and a little bit of salt.” Qin Fen frowned as he slowly commented on the dishes he had just eaten. “Maybe you might have sacrificed mutual stimulation of nutrition for the pursuit of flavor.”

Two and a half gram!? The look in Manager Hua’s eyes became even stranger. Even bragging has its limits. Even if you really add two and a half grams of oil, would you even be able to taste it?

“Also…” Qin Fen didn’t have the slightest intention to stop. Since others had sincerely asked for his opinion, he naturally had to answer seriously. He might not be as good as Enzo Rota in pharmaceuticals, but he had gotten a hang of some of it from eating Enzo Rota’s stuff. Otherwise, he would have eaten those unpalatable meals in vain for so long.

In a single short minute, Qin Fen finished commenting on all four dishes, as well as the soup in front of him. Each meal had a different defect.

“Who said that there was something wrong with my cooking?”

A gruff voice filled with anger resounded throughout the quiet hall. As Qin Fen looked up, a fat chief wearing chef’s attire and holding a kitchen knife and an iron pot in his hands entered his view. Looking at his movements, Qin Fen was perplexed between calling him fat or strong.

BANG!

The kitchen knife was deeply embedded in the marble slab just ten meters before Qin Fen. The handle of the knife was still shaking from the impact.

Manager Hua, who was in charge of the entire Pegasus Fitness Club and had almost all the rights, hastily stood up and retreated to one side upon seeing this bear-like chef before him. This is also a man who cannot be provoked!

Manager Hua secretly heaved a sigh. The Pegasus Fitness Club had a total of two employees whom he could not afford to provoke. And this chef, who had the body like that of a bear, rushing over like Zhang Fei[1], was one of them.

In Shengjing, people not only ate for taste and nutrition but also for one’s face! Fei Wei, Chef Fei was one such chef who could make people eat to maintain their face.

Almost all the medical professionals in the federation feel honored being be admitted into the Master’s College of Bioengineering. If they could teach there, they would be revered by most of their peers. If they could become a professor at this college, then they would be someone who could do whatever they wanted in the entire medical world!

And if one was hired as the chief professor? That was almost at the level of Mount Tai or North star of the medical world! If someone was hired as the chief professor by the Master’s College of Bioengineering and he said no to the college, then even someone as I cannot ask him to serve me!

If such a man wasn’t a madman, he would be so awesome.

Fei Wei is such a person who had said no to the Master’s College of Bioengineering. He is someone I cannot ask to serve me.

Manager Hua couldn’t figure out why a kickass person like him would come to Pegasus Fitness Club to be a cook and still seem to enjoy it.

The only thing that Manager Hua knew was that when he became the manager of the club, the upper echelons had instructed that Fei Wei could do whatever he wanted! Even if Fei Wei wanted to slap behind the ears of those members, he didn’t need to care about it.

At first, Manager Hua still found it strange. *Is it really okay to let things go on like this? *However, once and only once, a drunken member, who had flipped the table and shouted that the food was unpalatable, was slapped twice by Fei Wei.

At that time, while Manager Hua was still considering how to deal with the aftermath, that man, who had a strong family background, was slapped, he actually woke up and left the club with a satisfied smile happily, covering his hot face!

The next day, he came to the club to exercise, as if it was not shameful to be beaten.

Manager Hua stood away from the side of the dining hall that was pervaded by a hostile atmosphere. He secretly looked at Qin Fen with worry. Is this young master going to be slapped as well?
