Chapter 610: Chapter 277 "Warm-Up" Exercise_2

The Boss’s gaze shifted from Li Huiyuan to Lin Yi, and he said indifferently, "If you have any questions, wait until I’m free to ask. If there’s anything you want to know, Huihuizi might not know, but I can tell you."

Lin Yi’s heart leapt for joy, but before the joy could reach his eyes, the Boss continued, "However, if you can’t complete the training and absorb the ashes, once time is up... there’s no need to ask Huihuizi, you’ll get a chance to experience it for yourself."

The Boss’s bland words were like a chilling wind, making Lin Yi’s back go cold, almost causing him to shiver.

"I will train hard!" Lin Yi quickly straightened his attitude and stood up tall.

The Boss glanced at him, "Come here, try lifting a bag."

Lin Yi then noticed that there were several pillow-sized cloth bags piled up at the Boss’s feet, arranged like bricks and stacked together.

Lin Yi was puzzled but complied nonetheless.

He approached the pile of bags, bent down to grab the corners, one hand per bag.

The Boss’s eyes revealed a hint of mockery, but he said nothing.

Lin Yi gripping the bags tried to lift them, but his hands sank.

"Huh?!"

He was startled. He couldn’t lift the small cloth bag with one hand?

He then used both hands to grasp a single bag, took a deep breath, exerted his strength, and managed to lift it.

Just lifting it, however, required Lin Yi to use all his might, and his arm muscles bulged tight.

Li Huiyuan’s mouth dropped open slightly as she saw Lin Yi, his face red and neck strained, showing a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Indeed, he can lift it," said the Boss.

Lin Yi clenched his teeth, hot breath spraying from between his lips, wanting to say, "What do you mean ’indeed’? Didn’t you ask me to try it?" But he didn’t have the excess strength to speak.

The bag felt soft, as if it was filled with flowing flour. It had a soft texture, but whatever was inside was incredibly dense. It felt like a pillow-sized bag was compressing one or two bags of rice together.

"Can you lift it any higher?" the Boss suddenly asked with "concern." "Lifting it like that can hurt your hands, don’t affect your subsequent training."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath and raised the bag to his abdomen, shifting his grip to a hug, then inched the bag up to his chest.

Even doing just this step, his forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat beads, and he started panting heavily before eventually catching his breath.

The Boss pointed towards the floor-to-ceiling windows where Li Huiyuan had been stretching her legs: "Carry it over there. I’m not concerned with speed, but you’re not allowed to put it down... This is the ’warm-up exercise’ before the training, off you go."

Lin Yi didn’t have the spare energy or the mindset to reply or retort, he just nodded solemnly, and then started dragging his heavy steps, slowly taking the first one...

The Boss then turned his attention to Li Huiyuan: "Huihuizi, you start too, and by the way, keep Lin Yi company."

Li Huiyuan’s face was filled with smiles as she rubbed her hands together: "Boss, actually... I think Lin Yi might not need my company."

"Company is just by the way, you go warm up as well," the Boss finished speaking, his arms slowly crossing in front of his chest, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Here’s a look for you."

Li Huiyuan pouted, then went to lift a bag.

She grasped the bag with both hands, took a deep breath, and then lifted it to her chest.

Incredibly, the bag that Lin Yi struggled to lift only seemed somewhat challenging for Li Huiyuan.

"Quick progress..." the Boss said with a nod of appreciation.

Receiving the Boss’s praise, Li Huiyuan’s face brightened with a smile: "Right? It’s all thanks to the Boss’s great teaching~"

The next moment, the Boss kicked a bag at his feet, flicked and lifted with the back of his foot, and the bag flew towards Li Huiyuan like a pillow, tracing a parabola and landing precisely on the other bag in her arms.

Li Huiyuan’s eyes widened: "No, Boss, this..."

The weights doubled, and a heavy force directly tore at Li Huiyuan’s arms, threatening to pull her entire body to the ground.

But Li Huiyuan transformed from her delicate girl demeanor, a deep, fierce cry emanated from her throat as she spread her legs into a horse stance, her lower body sinking slightly as she began to adapt and unload the weight.

Wisps of light blue steam began to waft from Li Huiyuan’s body, enveloping her in a mist that gave her an ethereal aura.

And soon, she had fully adapted to the weight of the two sandbags.

At this moment, Boss’s voice echoed in her ear: "You’re making fast progress, but not fast enough."

Li Huiyuan’s face twisted in a grimace, as she clenched her teeth, exertion painting her pretty face: "Alright..."

"Still got the energy to talk?" Boss raised an eyebrow, shifted his feet lightly, his plump toes grazing another sandbag.

Li Huiyuan hastily shut her mouth, took a breath, turned, and started to chase in the direction of Lin Yi’s retreating figure.

Watching Li Huiyuan’s retreating figure, Boss silently nodded, then shifted his gaze to Lin Yi, a rare look of worry crossing his face as he muttered to himself: "The appearance of such a person at this time, I’m not sure if it’s good or bad..."

"B Group, Class 2..."

...

X023, May 9th, 12:46 PM, on the second floor of the Gymnasium, at the Gymnastics Hall.

Lin Yi, carrying a sandbag, huffed and puffed forward, each step incredibly difficult. After just ten meters, his gymnastics clothing was soaked through, and steam visibly rose from his forehead.

He truly understood now that the "warm-up exercise" mentioned by Boss was the complete opposite of the usual warm-up activities he knew.

This was literally "warming up"!

Just then, Lin Yi heard the sound of bare feet "tap, tap" on the floor behind him.

Soon, he felt the presence of a little furnace radiating heat behind him.

As he wondered, a petite figure appeared in the corner of his eye.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Enshrouded in light blue steam, Li Huiyuan, carrying two sandbags, moved with wide-legged, half-squat steps like a turtle hauling dinosaur eggs, slowly catching up to him.

To Lin Yi’s despair, despite Li Huiyuan having more endurance than him, she still panted with her tongue out, muttering incessantly: "So tired~ So tired~ Huff, puff... So tired~"

And then she passed him.

"Please... I’m the one who’s so tired I can’t even speak, okay?!"

But watching Li Huiyuan’s receding figure, Lin Yi could only keep his strong comments to himself.

Suddenly, he noticed the light blue steam wafting from Li Huiyuan, which seemed to be gaining a certain condensed quality.

Just like the outer and inner flames of fire, a layer of condensed sky-blue steam fluttered on Li Huiyuan’s skin!

"Sky-blue steam... The unique hallmark of a Sports Student!"

"But this Identity transformation is too obvious, isn’t it!"

The sight of Li Huiyuan’s petite frame holding two sandbags struck Lin Yi with a profound sense of contrast.

"After being mentored by Boss, Li Huiyuan might turn into a fierce figure capable of kicking a Chef in the green apron with a single kick, right?!"

A ludicrous image sprang into Lin Yi’s mind...

The ’cultivated’ Li Huiyuan returning to the Cafeteria, staring down that Chef in the green apron, and then pronouncing the classic line: "The three-year agreement is due, Green hat, the pain of having my proof stolen back then, today I will fully reclaim."

Then she’d stylishly pull out a giant baseball bat from her clothes, adding a cool statement:

"In the Gymnasium, Li Huiyuan."
