BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54: 100KG
"Let\'s give it a try then," Arnold said after observing the areas.
Before he walked on to the 100 kg weight, he made sure he shut the gym house entrance door and also got these windows closed, to prevent getting noticed by any means.
He was someone who had got eyes on him in the past weeks... An event like this wouldn\'t take long before being leaked on social media. To prevent that, Arnold had to carry out preventive measures.
After that move, he then approached the 100 kg weight placed on a wide space at one corner of the gym. Without hesitation, he stepped close and grabbed its handle with both hands.
For a moment, he inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, letting out the waves of uncertainty in his mind. Then after a while, he tightened his grip and pulled up the weight.
"Ah! It\'s so heavy!" Upon dropping the weight in an instant, Arnold complained.
Before he could even pull up the height of his knee, he was already feeling his spinal cord shift. Not only that, it also felt as if his arms were on the verge of pulling, which gave him no other choice but to drop it.
"Ah, shit..." Arnold cursed after attempting another try.
The weight was indeed very heavy, showing off its 100kg identity. If Arnold really wanted to lift this thing above his head, then he\'d better come prepared next time.
Without much thought, he gave up the idea of lifting this thing and returned to his actual 70 and 80-kg lifting. He was actually having slight challenges in lifting an 80 kg weight, so the fact he couldn\'t carry something heavier wasn\'t strange.
But to the Pro Wrestling System, it was.
[What? Are you giving up? Just like that?!]
Arnold furrowed his brows. "What do you mean? That\'s way too heavy for me to lift. I can always go back to try another day," he said.
[Seriously, host?! Did you forget that you are Max Fury? The young wonder fighter who doesn\'t give up no matter what?]
Arnold\'s face suddenly turned dark as he heard this.
[If you were not able to lift it, try again! If it didn\'t work out, then try again! Again and again, until you succeed!]
[That is what true fighters do. They don\'t back down and accept defeat. This is what you should do, Max Fury.]
The dark glints on Arnold\'s face suddenly turned bright at that moment, followed by a wide smile on his face.
"I know right? Max Fury shouldn\'t be a stupid punk," Arnold sighed and switched his gaze to the weight lying motionless on the floor. "I will lift this thing, today... And now!"
With a determined look on his face, he walked over to the spot where the weight was placed and grabbed the handle tightly again. This time, his inhaling and exhaling session was longer than the previous one, as he decided to relax his mind and muscles before pulling it up.
[It\'s no big deal, host. I believe in you.]
The system gave words of motivation as Arnold was set to try. Although they were only a few words, these words were enough to awaken a dead man.
With the word "I believe in you" entering his ears, Arnold\'s heart pumped fast and crazily. With his hands tightly on the grip, firm and ready, he roared and pulled.
His voice wasn\'t loud enough to attract people to the gym as the boarding areas were a little distant from the training areas. As it was nighttime, it was clear that no one would be in the training area. If there were anyone in any case, maybe not around the gym houses but in the training rings.
*Bang*
Arnold dropped the weight after a slight raising, this time managing to reach the height of his knees.
However, he didn\'t pay attention to that petty achievement and repeated the attempt. He pulled up again...
"Ahhh..."
*Bang!*
Yet again, the weight dropped without being raised over the head of the Grindhouse Omega champion. But despite the misfortune, Arnold didn\'t panic. Instead, he was getting himself enough motivation to continue!
Again, he lifted the weight but couldn\'t help dropping it after it had reached his chest. Although he hadn\'t succeeded in completing the lifting, it was clear that he was making progress as he continued trying.
"Ah!"
*Bang*
"Rrrr!"
*Bang!*
"HMMM!!!"
*Bam!*
More sounds of a plunging 100 kg weight could be heard inside the gym house as Max Fury continued his pursuit of success. It was certain that he wouldn\'t stop, even after hundreds of trials...
The more he tried the more he progressed, every new try better than the previous. Arnold had the feeling right deep inside of him, which had convinced him not to give up.
Yet again, he made another attempt, enduring the emerging pain in his backbones. He didn\'t care, after all, his advanced Agility had done a great job of enhancing his flexibility. It was pretty for something like him to get his spinal cord broken because of a 100 kg weight.
He might have found it hard to lift it, but his bones and joints were able to withstand the pressure.
"Oh... Ahhh!"
It got to a fated time of trial, and Arnold found himself lifting the utterly heavy weight above his head. The weight now looked lighter than before, making it feel easy for him to hold on with the lifting for a while.
After four seconds, Arnold dropped the weight on the hard floor.
"Yes!!! HAHA! Oh, yeah!!!" Arnold shouted in excitement, jumping in victory.
He had actually lifted a 100 kg weight just on the first day of the trial.
What kind of man is this guy?!!!
For a moment Arnold couldn\'t believe it until the appearance of the system enriched the revelation of the event.
[You have gained 15 points to your Strength.]
[You have gained 15 points to your Endurance.]
[Good job, Max Fury.]
Truly, he made it...
