True Solution of the Sword Dao

Chapter 26: Chapter 22 Chapter 26: Chapter 22 Inside a large gym on the top floor of a hotel.

About a dozen men and women were sweating profusely as they exercised on various fitness machines, venting their extra energy.

A young man working on the butterfly machine for his chest muscles was the most eye-catching among them.

The butterfly machine involves bringing two arms continuously together in the middle, exerting force to exercise the chest muscles, and the resistance can be adjusted by the weights suspended from the machine behind the user.

Ordinary gym-goers would have just four or five plates stacked together. A slightly stronger person might manage a dozen or so weight plates, equivalent to tens of pounds. But this young man, with muscles coiled and twisted on his body, caused a huge crashing noise behind him each time he opened and closed the machine, as more than thirty 5-kilogram plates were lifted and then dropped heavily. The loud thumping sounds made the others in the gym glance over now and then.

“Clap clap clap.” At the door, Lu Jun clapped his hands and smiled. Lin Fei stood by his side.

After drawing everyone’s attention, Lu Jun cleared his throat.

“Everyone, please stop for a moment, today our Ping City branch has a new member joining. I brought him over to have a look around.”

Silence fell across the gym. Nobody spoke, and all eyes shifted from Lu Jun to Lin Fei. The dozen or so scrutinizing gazes gathered on him were a bit pressuring.

“Anyway, we’re all going to die sooner or later. What’s the point of introductions?” The most eye-catching young man in front of the butterfly machine said indifferently.

“The top three floors here are available for us to live in for free, food is provided at no cost, and of course, if you’re interested, some special services are available,” the young man said with a smile, flashing a white-toothed grin. “Newcomer, since we’re all about to die, enjoy yourself early. At least you won’t have lived in vain.”
