It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

On the first day after Shu Huan left, I missed him, missed him, missed him.

This is how you read a romance novel.

The first day after my great-grandmother passed away.

The day after my great-grandmother passed away.

On the third day after my great-grandmother passed away, I was almost unable to control the primal force within me.

This is how you approach Li Xianyu.

Three days ago, his great-grandmother left him without any warning, not even leaving a letter; her departure was swift and decisive. When asked, the Thunder and Lightning Dharma King said that his great-grandmother had gone to take care of some matters.

Li Xianyu didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went into the gym. For the next three days, he simply moved into Baoze. Apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he either spent his time in the gym or dragged Thunder War Maiden to do combat training.

At 9:20 a.m., on the 29th floor of Baoze Group, in the gym.

Li Xianyu was doing pull-ups, while King Kong lay beneath him, pushing a 400-pound dumbbell. His chest and arm muscles were so strong they could crush any bodybuilder. Li Xianyu wasn't bad either; although his muscles weren't as exaggerated as King Kong's, every muscle line on his body was smooth and pleasing to the eye, lean and strong.

"1998"

"1999"

"2000......"

Li Xianyu, exhausted, fell from above. Jin Gang seized the opportunity to lift a dumbbell, breaking Li Xianyu's nasal bridge and two front teeth. He then got up, picked up a whip from the ground, and said, "If you can't recover in three seconds, I'll whip you for half an hour."

Li Xianyu covered his face, using his explosive kidneys and liver to activate his supernatural abilities and repair the wounds on his face.

This was the training method he and King Kong agreed upon. Originally, his plan only included the face-slapping exercise when landing from pull-ups. However, after hearing about it, Thunder King added a rule: the injury had to be repaired within three seconds, or he would be whipped for half an hour.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Li Xianyu felt that the Thunder King had been harboring a lot of malice towards him lately.

Within three seconds, the nasal bone was repaired and the front teeth were regenerated.

King Kong disappointedly threw away the whip. "You only did 1900 pull-ups yesterday, which is a lot of progress. But the biggest improvement is in your superpowers; you still couldn't fix your broken tooth yesterday."

"You have the nerve to say that? You whipped me for half an hour." Li Xianyu collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

The power of life restoration granted Li Xianyu extraordinary endurance. His muscles repaired themselves with each instance of soreness, improving every moment until his power reached its limit. Within three days, his physical abilities advanced by leaps and bounds. The Thunder King exclaimed, "This is truly a divine gift, a precious blade bestowed upon us by heaven!"

Then he whipped Li Xianyu for two hours.

The beauty claimed that it enhanced his supernatural abilities.

Li Xianyu kept reflecting on where he had offended the minister of law enforcement.

"Rest for fifteen minutes, then go find Thunder Maiden," King Kong said. He added, "Actually, resting a few more minutes wouldn't hurt; there's no need to push yourself so hard. Are the ten most famous weapons you mentioned yesterday true? Can you tell me what the differences are?"

Li Xianyu waved his hand: "I'll tell you when we have dinner. I'm going to find the War Maiden."

It's hard to imagine that a Shanghai lad accustomed to a comfortable, bourgeois lifestyle would go to such lengths to train in "hell mode." Perhaps his experience of being played with on the rooftop that night spurred his pride. Or maybe he felt his great-grandmother was right: there are only two kinds of people in the world—the butcher and the fish.

If you don't want to be taken advantage of, strive to become stronger.

The training rooms are downstairs; the entire floor is dedicated to training, some are general training rooms, and some are special training rooms, specifically designed to provide employees with a practical training ground.

When Li Xianyu pushed open the door to the training room, inside the spacious room, on the gleaming elm wood floor, Thunder Warrior sat quietly cross-legged, wearing a loose white martial arts uniform with black trim, her posture ramrod straight.

"War Maiden, I'm here," Li Xianyu said.

Thunder Valkyrie opened her eyes, nodded, and then closed them again.

After three days of fierce fighting, the two had developed some tacit understanding. Li Xianyu charged forward and swept his leg towards her head.

The next moment, Thunder Maiden disappeared, and Li Xianyu, who had just pulled back his foot, suddenly crossed his arms over his chest. With a muffled "bang," he blocked a straight kick from a long leg. Li Xianyu staggered backward, barely managing to regain his balance.

"Not bad, you blocked it." Thunder War Maiden disappeared once again.

When she reappeared, she was already behind Li Xianyu. This time, he reacted even faster, dodging Thunder War Maiden's hand strike with a roll.

After awakening, physical abilities will be greatly enhanced, including hearing, eyesight, reaction speed, and so on. After three days of "sandbag" training, Li Xianyu has managed to keep up with Thunder War Maiden's pace and is no longer completely helpless.

"Not enough, far from enough," Li Xianyu thought to himself.

The thought had barely formed when Thunder Warrior delivered a knee strike that sent him flying into the air, blood and teeth spurting out.

It's not over yet....

He lifts his arm upwards and floats in the air.

Fuel consumption and floating.

Flying shovel, airborne.

Thunder Warrior experimented with various aerial combat skills mimicking those in video games on Li Xianyu, becoming deeply engrossed and excited. The daily training session had become her most anticipated event.

I love these indestructible sandbags.

Anyone who sees this scene would feel pity; even a murderer would find it cruel. If Li Xianyu were a dog, Thunder War Maiden would be doxxed by dog ​​lovers in no time.

The brutal torture lasted for half an hour. Li Xianyu was thrown heavily to the ground, barely alive, with bloodstains all over the elm wood floor.

He himself didn't care much, but he and Thunder Maiden agreed to keep a breath of life, because he had a premonition that if he died again, he would be completely finished and could not be brought back to life. Compared to physical pain, the psychological trauma was far more terrifying.

Once gentle, kind, and understanding, the Thunder Warrior was revealed to be a violent maniac. Normally, she was very gentle and like a big sister, exactly Li Xianyu's type, but when she entered battle mode, she seemed to unleash her true self, tearing away her disguise.

The Thunder King's original intention was to have the Thunder War Maiden instruct Li Xianyu in combat, but it turned into one-sided torture that couldn't be stopped. The Thunder War Maiden looked forward to the daily combat training even more than Li Xianyu, who was determined to become stronger, because Li Xianyu was not easy to kill.

"How are you? Can you still hold on?" Thunder War Maiden gently helped him up, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Li Xianyu seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking, and waved his hand wearily: "I'll rest for half an hour and recover."

Perhaps by sheer luck, this cruel abuse benefited Li Xianyu far more than conventional teaching.

Thunder War Maiden shook her head: "We have some foreign friends coming to the company for exchanges this afternoon, so we don't have time to train. Hang in there, let's do another half hour."

You're just trying to satisfy your quirks, aren't you?

Before Li Xianyu could even utter a word of complaint, he was kicked away by Thunder War Maiden.

He slammed his elbow into the sole of Thunder Warrior's foot, blocking the attack, and landed steadily before charging fiercely towards her.

Half an hour later, the two came out together. Thunder War Maiden looked radiant and full of energy. Li Xianyu, leaning against the wall, looked ashen-faced. He took the elevator back to his room to shower and change clothes, and driven by hunger, headed towards the revolving restaurant.

Inside the elevator, there happened to be two female office workers. They smiled politely at Li Xianyu and then began to chat amongst themselves.

"The American bloodline has arrived, at the rooftop restaurant."

"I heard from my colleagues at the restaurant that there are a lot of handsome young men there."

"Hmm, I also know a famous person, I think he was one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons?"

The two women chattered away.
