Chapter 8

Huff

Puff

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Lin Xiao began to check his harvest this time.

Silently, he felt that the world had changed. The first bone marrow cleansing wasn't as noticeable, but reaching the second level of the basic physical techniques was like a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

His eyes could clearly see all the small things within 100 meters. Walking to the window, he saw the dew on the distant leaves fall and shatter into pieces, being absorbed by the soil.

His ears could distinguish the footsteps of everyone within 30 meters, and all his senses had improved significantly.

Eager to test his current abilities, Lin Xiao rushed to a corner of the park, fully activating his senses. After confirming that there was no one within about 100 meters, he scanned the area and found a fist-sized rock to test his grip strength. With a bit of effort:

"Crack, crack, crack"

As Lin Xiao increased his strength, the rock made a sound.

"Bang"

Lin Xiao saw that the rock in his hand had been crushed into pieces, slipping from his hand and falling to the ground. Surprised, he looked at his hands. He felt he had only used about 60% of his strength to crush the rock. If he used full strength, his grip would be at least 500 kilograms.

Smiling, he clenched his fists and waved them, ready to continue his tests.

Focusing, Lin Xiao instantly disappeared and reappeared 30 meters away. The grass at his original spot was pressed into a small pit.

Feeling the sensation of wind rushing past him, he felt as if he had merged with the wind. He estimated his speed to be at least 30 meters per second.

He could jump about 6 meters from a standing position, and with a running start, he could jump 8 meters. As the sky grew brighter, many people had already started their morning exercises. Seeing more people around, Lin Xiao felt it was inconvenient to continue his tests and walked back.

"Snap"

"Crack"

Excited, Lin Xiao didn't notice that his strength was much greater than before. He opened the door as usual, but tragically, the door opened, and he inadvertently broke the key.

Lin Xiao stared at the broken key in his hand, muttering to himself, "No way, the landlord is going to be furious. This is such a cold shower, sigh~ I have to spend money to replace the lock again. What have I done to deserve this?"

The result of his uncontrolled strength was that he broke a cup, two plates, and a bowl in the morning.

With a gloomy expression, Lin Xiao came out of his room, determined to control his increased strength.

He found a gym nearby and paid for a month's membership.

"Sir, do you need a personal trainer? If so, please let me know, and we will arrange one for you," the receptionist smiled.

"Oh, not for now. I'll let you know if I need one," Lin Xiao thought for a moment and replied.

Looking around, it was lunchtime, and the gym was relatively empty. Lin Xiao began his new round of tests.

Finding a corner, Lin Xiao started testing his strength, picking up a 100-kilogram barbell and gradually adding more weight.

200, 300, 400, 500. At 500 kilograms, Lin Xiao still felt it was a bit light, so he added another 300 kilograms.

It was about right. His limit might be 900 kilograms, meaning his single-handed strength was 900 kilograms. His leg strength was definitely stronger, at least 1200 kilograms. Yes, plus the 30 meters per second speed and 6-meter jump height he had tested before. Lin Xiao thought about his current physical condition and was shocked. Wow! He was almost becoming a superman.

Days passed, and Lin Xiao's control over his strength became more proficient. He no longer had the issues he had on the first day.

In the evening, after finishing his workout, Lin Xiao strolled down the street, his shadow stretching longer under the streetlights.

Suddenly, his ears perked up, and he instantly disappeared from his spot. If anyone had seen him at night, they would have thought they had seen a ghost. Sigh~ Scaring people can be deadly.

Getting off track, Lin Xiao had actually heard a cry for help. Every person who gained power had an impulse to show off, but Lin Xiao, who had never been involved with the underworld, had no place to do so. After enduring for so long, he was instantly excited.

Five or six burly men surrounded a beautifully dressed woman in a white dress. Due to the darkness of the alley, she wasn't very clear, but her S-shaped figure was dodging the men's harassment, and several parts of her body were already exposed.

Well, what a cliché plot. Am I going to perform the legendary hero saves the beauty? Lin Xiao started to drift off again.

"Hey! Gentlemen, you seem to be having a good time. Can I join in?" Lin Xiao's teasing voice came from behind them.

The six men turned around and laughed when they saw it was just Lin Xiao. One of them, who looked like the leader, said, "Haha, kid, do you want to play the hero? You've watched too many cliché dramas. Come on, go home and drink your milk. But since you're here, why don't you keep our little beauty company?"

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaowu, you two take care of that kid."

"Sure, leave it to us, boss."

Saying that, they pulled out knives from their pockets and walked towards Lin Xiao with sinister faces.

"Kid, you're dead." In Xiaoqiang and Xiaowu's eyes, Lin Xiao was already a dead man. The knives were just 10 centimeters away from his body, and he couldn't dodge in time.

Actually, when they charged, Lin Xiao realized something was wrong. Focusing his attention on his eyes, he saw Xiaoqiang and Xiaowu's movements slow down. After a moment of shock, he calmly extended his hands, grabbed their knife-holding hands, and applied force.

"Snap"

"Snap"

Xiaoqiang and Xiaowu's hands were bent 90 degrees backward.

Lin Xiao didn't give them a chance, and his figure flashed.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Xiaoqiang and Xiaowu didn't even have time to scream. They blacked out and fell to the ground. Lin Xiao had knocked them out directly.

The other four, hearing the unusual sounds, turned around and saw Lin Xiao standing unharmed, while their brothers were lying unconscious on the ground.

Their eyes instantly turned red, and they drew their knives, ready to fight Lin Xiao to the death. Lin Xiao felt the game was boring. The gap in levels was too large, and it wasn't interesting.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

In less than 10 seconds, Lin Xiao easily and happily dealt with the group. Seeing no one could get up, he was about to leave.

"Wait." The woman, who had just come to her senses, called out to Lin Xiao, who was about to leave.

"Is there something?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Just thank you. Otherwise, I would have... My name is Qi Meiwēi. Can you tell me your name?" Qi Meiwēi said.

"Um, we'll see if we meet again." Lin Xiao waved and turned to leave.
