Chapter 10: Physical Training.
" Who's the new guy?"
" I don't know but he's really gorgeous isn't he"
" Must be one of those kids from out of town getting ready to prepare for Tian Jiang Academy's entrance exam "
" You sure?, i heard the contestants were incredible but I've never seen anyone like him before " His entrance caused a few people to begin murmuring, While he could easily hear some of what they were saying, Lin Mu didn't pay much attention to it.
He was here to train so the only thing he was focused on right now was finding a spare gym equipments.
" Which one do you think would be more effective?" Lin Mu asked the system in a low voice while scanning through the gym with his eyes, His hands crossed Infront of his chest.
A passing man who looked to be in his middle aged happened to over hear him and tapped him on the shoulder.
Lin Mu turned around to meet the man, He raised his brow giving the middle-aged man a questioning look.
The man who felt Lin Mu's gaze couldn't help but feel stunned the moment his gaze meet with Lin Mu's, With his height of 1.76 it wasn't an overstatement to say that Lin Mu was actually looking down on the man who looked to be about 1.65 meters.
To the middle-aged man, The person before his eyes didn't look like a kid but someone with an air of maturity and was capable of emitting an invisible pressure which, Although faint, was still there.
The man chuckled to himself feeling delighted at such a discovery, it was rare for him to meet someone who excluded such a temperament at such a young age. " Boy I happened to over hear that you didn't know which equipments to try out first, if you're still skeptical about which equipments to use i came over to suggest that you use the weight lifting machines, The treadmill and pull up bars, Those will be sure to satisfy your needs" The man said with a smile.
' So basically what's he's trying to say is, Here's the recipe for getting swole and mildly judged at the same time. ' Lin Mu said to himself.
" My sincerest thanks sir, I am Mu surnamed Lin, it's an honor to receive such helpful words from such a knowledgeable senior " Lin Mu said while trying to hide his thoughts when he realized that the man was actually helping him. He gave a slight bow while revealing an apologetic expression.
' After consolidating my cultivation I think it isn't too late to try and learn how to control this invisible pressure of mine...' in truth, Lin Mu really didn't want to end up harming someone by accident.
At first, When the middle aged man had approached him from behind, He thought that it was someone looking to harm him again. That was why his body unconsciously released that faint pressure which was still in the process of forming. Anytime his cultivation increased, Like the legendary characters in the novels his grandfather read, He knew that his own body would soon be able to unconsciously exclude a formidable pressure capable of frightening most of his enemies.
" Don't mention it my boy, I was just trying to help an upright young man such as yourself, it's not every day you see a gentleman who would force himself to come to such a public place just to maintain his health "
" Hehehe yes that's right, I really do want to exercise and increase my strength" Lin Mu clenched his fist out of habit while also flexing his arm. if not for his jump suit that covered most of his body, He would've exposed his chiseled biceps and triceps.
" Good, Good, That's the enthusiasm I was hoping to see, Well don't let me stop you, Go ahead my boy. If you need any one to spot you just ask around for Mister Chen Ling Shu, That's my name " The middle aged man waved at Lin Mu before leaving to continue his own workout.
Lin Mu watched him leave before turning his attention back on the matter at hand.
"Now which one should we try First?" Lin Mu glanced at all the work out equipments with interest, Some of them were already being used by someone but a few were still free.
"Which one should I pick between the treadmill, Pull up bar or the weight lifting machine " Lin Mu glanced at all the gym equipment wondering which one to choose.
' Hmm.., No I shouldn't just pick randomly, I'll better maximize my efforts if I pick something that'll be beneficial for me in the long run first '
' Right now my grip strength isn't shabby, plus I don't think I really need to do pull ups as of right now, When it comes down to surviving in the systems training Dimensions, I think my speed should be prioritized above all else.'
' Grandpa did have a saying about this, What's it called again?, in other to live a happy life you must first learn to outrun your problems?' Lin Mu smiled warily at such a thought.
' Let's just focus on the fact that right now my problem is that am not so sure am fast enough to explore deeper into the broken star Dimension 66478 or was it 6786666:9?'
' Arrgh forget it, System I don't think I'll be able to remember such a long and complicated name so why not just call it something simpler like Broken red dessert, Sounds more easier to pronounce don't you think?'
[I guess it can't be helped considering your feeble human mind...]The system spoke with a hint of disdain.
"Thank you, Siri, for the roast. Really uplifting." Lin Mu rolled his eyes before deciding to pay her no heed.
