From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

The metal buckles rubbed together, making a piercing sound.

Lu Yunzhou opened his eyes, the bright white light overhead making his eyes sting.

The bitter taste of stale tea lingered on the back of my tongue, my head felt heavy, and I couldn't lift my limbs.

His arms were raised above shoulder level, with his wrists hooked onto the climbing frame.

The two feet are separated and fixed, with steel cables attached to the back of the ankles.

The shirt and trousers were still there, and the shoes hadn't been taken off.

Su Qingwan was still quite sensible.

Lu Yunzhou tried to circulate the "Creation Technique".

As soon as his dantian reacted, a tingling and numb sensation spread through his meridians. His true qi was blocked in his shoulder, unable to move even an inch. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. The moment he forced his qi to circulate, his right arm felt as if it had been pierced by fine needles, and his five fingers curled up uncontrollably.

The effects of the Sinking Pulse Powder hadn't worn off yet. Although the medicinal fragrance had dissipated, the chilling aura still lingered deep within his flesh and blood, flaring up with each heartbeat.

He tugged at the chain a few times. The chain rattled against the shelf, the sound echoing back and forth along the wall, but no sound could be heard outside.

The lock is integrated with the training frame; the greater the force applied, the tighter the gears inside mesh.

The basement was quite spacious. A white light flickered softly overhead, and the air was filled with the smells of rubber, rust, and machine oil.

Six sandbags were hanging on the left, and several rows of moving targets stood against the wall.

The ground is covered with metal seams, and pulley systems are installed in the four corners.

On the right side, there is also a strength tester, a rubber bullet launcher, and several training devices I've never seen before.

This is not a private gym at all.

A soft click came from the door lock.

Su Qingwan walked in and closed the door behind her.

She was wearing a black training uniform, with a belt cinched at the waist, revealing a snow-white neck beneath the collar.

Her long hair was tied back, and she held a soft rattan stick in her hand.

Su Qingwan tapped the steel frame: "If you're awake, stop pretending."

Lu Yunzhou grabbed the wristband: "Untie me first. I'll remember this for drugging and tying me up."

He was seething with anger.

Five million has already been deposited into Yuanchuan's account, and there are no problems with the contract.

Su Qingwan tried to appease him with food and then secretly poisoned his tea. No one could tolerate such a thing.

Su Qingwan did not approach. She slid the rattan stick down the training rack and tapped each of the four locks.

Everything here had been rearranged in advance, even his height and arm length had been calculated beforehand.

Su Qingwan tapped the lock with her rattan cane: "You investigated Xiao Sihai behind my back, then went to see Ning Shuang, and even planned to break into the pump room yourself. What happened to the agreed-upon rules of cooperation? You treated them all as nonsense?"

Lu Yunzhou said coldly, "I can handle Ning Shuang's matter. You have no right to kidnap me here."

Su Qingwan was furious when she heard this.

She has already investigated the matter of the Floating Light Cafe.

Lu Yunzhou dared to test Ning Shuang with their common enemy, and he also dared to propose cooperation to her face-to-face.

He had no idea how much blood Ning Shuang had on her hands.

If the negotiations break down, someone will die in the coffee shop that very day.

We still have to deal with Xiao Sihai the day after tomorrow.

Lu Yunzhou can't even control the strength of his true energy now, and he relies entirely on brute force when he attacks.

If you encounter a closed-pulse golden body, one wrong move and you're dead.

Su Qingwan pressed the control button: "Since you're not convinced, then train until you are."

The sound of gears turning could be heard coming from inside the training rack.

The horizontal bars that secured his hands and feet moved away in all directions, the buckles remained on his body, but four steel cables appeared behind him.

Each steel cable provides about two meters of movement distance, just enough for him to move within a small area.

The next moment, a red light came on on the floor.

A heavy force pressed down on Lu Yunzhou.

His shoulders slumped down, his right knee slammed into the ground, and all four steel cables tightened simultaneously.

The moving target next to the wall was then activated.

The first rubber bullet came from the left, grazed my ear, and hit the training rack.

Lu Yunzhou had just looked up when the second bullet hit his upper arm.

The pain spread down his shoulder, and he tried to dodge it, but the steel cable behind his ankle pulled his right leg back.

The third shot was administered to the outside of the thigh.

Su Qingwan stood behind the control panel and directly set the requirements for him.

Within ten minutes, you have to open four buckles and dodge all the moving targets.

Each time you fall, gravity increases by one level.

Lu Yunzhou really wanted to curse.

The movable target gave him no chance to speak.

Rubber bullets came from different directions.

He shielded his head with his shoulder and took several steps, trying to get closer to the mechanical lock on the training rack.

The weight pressed down on me again.

He lost his balance and could only support himself with his left hand.

The wristband was pulled by the steel cable, and the entire arm went numb on the spot.

First attempt, fell to the ground in seventeen seconds.

On the second attempt, he collapsed after 24 seconds.

Half an hour later, the shirt was soaked with sweat.

My shoulders, thighs, and lower back were hit by a lot of rubber bullets, my skin was burning, and my muscles were starting to harden.

Lu Yunzhou still refused to beg for mercy.

When forcing his way through failed, he changed his approach.

The Sinking Powder blocked the meridians, preventing large amounts of true energy from passing through, but small amounts of energy could still move little by little.

He broke down his true energy, sending out only a small portion each time.

At first, the airflow dissipated as soon as it reached my wrist.

After trying dozens of times, a small amount of true energy finally entered my right wrist and pressed against the spring inside the lock.

Click.

The buckle popped open a notch.

Su Qingwan put down the rattan cane and her gaze lingered on his right hand.

This is exactly what she's been waiting for.

Two more hours passed, and Lu Yunzhou gradually figured out the training pattern.

All rubber bullets should avoid the temples, throat, chest, and knees, and only hit the shoulders, arms, lower back, and outer thighs.

Each time his hands and feet lose control, the gravity mechanism reduces the pressure.

Su Qingwan did not take the opportunity to torment him.

This packet of Shenmai powder has another use.

It suppressed the large amount of true energy, forcing him to break his power down into smaller parts.

Normally, when he throws a punch, all his internal energy rushes into his arm.

Now, he must control every single segment of airflow.

How much to use, where to stop, all of that needs to be practiced again.

After Lu Yunzhou figured it out, his anger hadn't subsided, but he felt less inclined to curse.

Time continued to pass.

He dodged two rubber bullets, used the force of the steel cable pulling back to turn around, and pressed down on the mechanical lock with his right hand.

The tiny stream of true energy split into two paths: one supported the spring, and the other propelled the card.

The right wrist buckle popped open again.

Only one last layer of insurance is needed.

His legs had begun to tremble, and his throat was dry and sore.

If this drags on any longer, we won't even be able to leave this basement tonight.

Su Qingwan raised her chin: "If you want to stop, change how you address me first."

Lu Yunzhou, catching his breath, said, "Instructor Su, give me some water first."

This title finally satisfied her.

Su Qingwan pressed the controller, and the locks on her right wrist and left foot automatically loosened, and the ground gravity returned to the lowest setting.

She picked up the water bottle and placed it next to the training rack.

Lu Yunzhou flexed his wrists, his chest still heaving.

After several hours, he only gained the freedom of one hand and one leg.

Su Qingwan put down the water bottle: "Don't get too excited. That was just a warm-up; the real training is just beginning."

She pressed another red button.

The moving targets on all four walls flipped simultaneously, revealing a dense array of acupoints on the human body.

The gravity mechanism, which had just stopped, emitted a low rumble once more.
