Chapter 39: Embrace

Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas

Sometime after school began, Wang Zheng's life began falling into a rhythm. Having attended the lessons once, he roughly knew what was demanded of Xiao Fei's and some of the Mecha Department's classes. Ever since he gained access to the MMA club's training room, Wang Zheng went there twice a day punctually. It was too convenient.

Usually, Wang Zheng would use the gravity room in the early morning. Regular intensity training was definitely slower in producing results; however, with the gravity room, Wang Zheng was able to feel aches and soreness.

It was empty in the morning as always. Wang Zheng turned up the gravity to five times intensity. After some warm-up lifts, Wang Zheng began his finger strength training, switching between fingers. Under this sort of pressure, results were certain..

A hundred reps for each finger—his entire body was soaked in no time. This sort of training was brutal, so Wang Zheng's food intake was also three times the average person's. The good thing was he had extra money now. Even Wang Zheng felt that he would collapse if he continued eating instant noodles with this training.

While Wang Zheng was training hard in the gravity room, the door opened. Ever since Meng Tian ”lost” to Wang Zheng, she also increased her training. She found it puzzling that she could not rely on her training to defeat Wang Zheng.

Seeing that the gravity room's light was on, Meng Tian felt it strange. However, upon noticing that it was at five times intensity, she was absolutely shocked—this was no joke!

Wang Zheng's training was showing better results as of late. Usually he would end at this time, but he felt like going for one more. Meng Tian was usually not here this early either.

Meng Tian saw a sight she would never forget in her life—Wang Zheng, topless, with sweat dripping like rain, inverted and doing one-handed push-ups. He switched hands every fifty reps.

What kind of strength was this?

Meng Tian had always felt that she stood a chance in the previous fight, but she never once thought that he had not even been serious about it.

This sort of strength was rare even in the military.

Wang Zheng sensed that there was someone and stopped. Seeing Meng Tian outside stunned, he smiled, picked up his towel, and walked out.

”Do you want to use it?”

Meng Tian shook her head in a daze. It was hard to believe that Meng Tian, the icy, beautiful queen, had this state of confusion. ”How did you do it?”

”Haha, just daily training. Although it seems like I don't have much muscle, I am actually very strong.”

Wang Zheng struck a pose. Indeed, he was not terribly ripped, but Meng Tian could sense that he was full of explosive strength.

Meng Tian bit her lip as she suddenly said, ”Can you make me stronger?”

Wang Zheng was surprised for a moment. He could tell that Meng Tian was earnest, but for a girl …

”Actually, my style of training is not very suitable for the average person,” Wang Zheng said. A normal person would die if he trained like that.

”I'm not afraid. As long as I can become strong, I am willing to do anything!” Meng Tian exposed her usual stubbornness.

Wang Zheng did not really know how to reject a girl. ”This … we can try. Actually, I'm also not very sure how to coach you.”

”Even just by sparring with you, I can improve!”

This was what Meng Tian had thought of all along, improving through fighting. Except, as a girl, she felt that it was not good to always be harassing others. However, upon seeing this, she could not care anymore. During the test with the explosive strength measuring machine at the beginning of military training, it could have been that the machine was not faulty. Perhaps it was that Wang Zheng's strength had already reached incredible levels.

”Can do. I need the training anyway.” Wang Zheng smiled.

Wang Zheng took a shower and was done in five minutes. When he came out, Meng Tian had already changed and was practicing various swift kicks.

Her movements were very tactical. Her flexibility and mobility were both pretty good, and there were not many flaws. It was evident that she had gone through strict training. It was only because Wang Zheng had gone through the pillar training that he could see the skill gap between them.

Her footwork was very orthodox and had little change, while the pillar training was endlessly varied.

”How is it?”

Meng Tian asked after one round. The beads of sweat on the tip of her nose made her cuter.

”Not bad.”

”That can't be all, tell me the truth!” It was clear that Meng Tian was not satisfied with this type of patronizing answer.

”Flowery fists with fancy footwork.”

…

”Haha, your moves are actually not bad already, but your strength and speed still have room for improvement. Also, it seems like you are very obsessed with routines. Actually, fights are ever-changing and are very dynamic. Reflexes and adaptability are important skills to have. You need to have a good grasp of speed, accuracy, and lethality. Like this.”

Wang Zheng followed Meng Tian's demonstration and threw out a set of kicks, except his were lower and quicker and as ferocious as a whirlwind.

Wang Zheng, who moved over ten meters in a moment, looked back. Meng Tian was in a daze again.

”What's wrong?”

”Maybe someday I will need a favor from you,” Meng Tian said suddenly.

”We are schoolmates, no problem. I will definitely help if I can.”

Wang Zheng had actually not previously appreciated Meng Tian's capable personality. Besides, the two had the common goal of becoming excellent pilots.
