"Then where did you practice?" Jin Ling'er looked at him and joked, "Did you learn it from fighting with others?"
Du Ming nodded in agreement, but Jin Ling was just joking and didn't think he was being serious, so she laughed along with him.
At this time, the private coaches in the gym all saw Du Ming and realized that he was a new customer. They quickly surrounded him and said enthusiastically, "Sir, we are coaches. Would you like to enjoy our private coaching course? We can let you try it out for free for one lesson, and when you're satisfied, you can pay us. What do you think?"
Du Ming waved his hand impatiently to shoo them away, but one of the coaches still came over, not towards Du Ming, but towards Jin Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you're here? How are you? Do you want to work out together today? I can give you a free lesson and a relaxing massage?"
Jin Ling'er waved her hand in disdain, "I don't need it, thank you."
That coach still didn't give up and pestered her, "Ling'er, it's okay, don't be polite, this time I'll take you to do some equipment?"
Jin Ling'er somewhat unpleasantly pushed that person away, "Chen Zikun, I've already said I don't need it, stop bothering me."
Du Ming looked at the man and asked Jin Ling'er, "What's going on? Who is this?"
"His name is Chen Zikun, he's a private coach in this gym, and he's been pestering me, saying he wants to give me free lessons, but actually he just wants to chase me. I don't like him, it's really annoying."
"You don't like him?" Du Ming said with a smile, "I'll help you get rid of him?"
Jin Ling raised an eyebrow, looking a bit surprised. "You're going to help me get rid of him? How are you going to do that?"
Du Ming smiled confidently at her, raised his head and said to Chen Zikun who was still following them and talking non-stop, "Hey, we don't need private tutoring. Someone like you doesn't have much level, what can you teach? It's better for me to bring the girl to practice."
Chen Zikun was taken aback by these words and then angrily said, "Sir, what did you just say?"
Du Ming deliberately spoke in a somewhat disdainful tone, "What did I say? I said it, and you're only at this level. We let you teach and it's actually holding us back. Hurry up and get out of the way, we don't need you."
Chen Zikun finally couldn't hold back his anger and said, "What do you mean? Am I not as good as you? I don't see you coming to the gym often, how dare you speak nonsense?"
Du Ming said disdainfully, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? You say you're a coach, but your strength is probably not even as good as mine, what are you teaching?"
Chen Zikun glared, "Don't spout nonsense! You dare to say that? If you can beat me today, I'll admit you're stronger than me!"
Du Ming pouted and said, "Alright, although competing with you is a waste of my time, but since there's nothing else to do today, let's just compete."
Chen Zikun looked up and down at Du Ming, who was tall and straight, with a good figure, but the muscles on his body were all hidden under his clothes, so he couldn't see if he had any muscles.
"Hmph, this weak and feeble pretty boy who can't even exercise dares to say he'll compete with me?! It's simply asking for trouble, just wait for me to teach him a lesson!"
Du Ming asked casually: "Alright, let's compare then, what are you going to compare? How will we compare?"
Chen Zikun pointed to the nearby tool and material area, "You choose a tool and material, we'll both choose the same weight, whoever makes more within one minute wins."
"Alright," Du Ming nodded and casually picked one closest to him, "This one will do."
He said as he stretched out his hand and adjusted the power of the equipment to its maximum standard, looking up at Chen Zikun and asking, "How about it? Can you handle this weight?"
Chen Zikun sneered, "Of course I can, but can you? Can a pretty boy like you take action?"
Du Ming waved his hand, "I don't need you to worry about me, just do it if you say so."
Du Mingxuan's was a strength-training puller, Chen Zikun sat down in position, took two deep breaths, and grasped the handles on both sides, "Who will time it?"
At this time, there were several onlookers who were working out nearby. One of them, being a busybody, immediately pulled out his phone and said, "Come on, come on, I'll be the timer."
Chen Zikun nodded, exhaled a breath, gripped the handles tightly and with a "hiss" sound, pulled them up and merged them together.
Then he put the armrest back in place with a local sound, and then pulled it up again, while evenly taking deep breaths, repeating the action.
When it reached one minute, the guest who was timing shouted, "Time's up!"
Chen Zikun put the armrest back in its original position, took a deep breath, and another customer counting beside him shouted, "That's twenty-one in total!"
Several other guests looked surprised and someone said, "Wow, this is amazing! I couldn't even lift the heaviest weight, and you can do over 20 in a minute, that's incredible!"
Chen Zikun stood up, looked at Du Ming with a pleased expression, "Young man, it's your turn now, come on?"
Du Ming nodded and sat down in his seat, saying to the timing guest, "You help me time again."
That man nodded, and the onlookers looked at Du Ming's physique with some doubt in their eyes. Someone said to him, "Hey, don't be stubborn just for a mouthful of air, this weight is too heavy and you might strain your muscles."
"Yes, look at your posture, you can't compare with a professional coach, forget it, don't compete with others."
Du Ming didn't even glance at them, his hands already gripping the armrests, without any preparation or deep breathing, he simply and lightly pulled up the two armrests.
Chen Zikun strained his muscles when pulling the equipment, it didn't look easy at all. But when Du Ming pulled, it seemed like the equipment had no weight, and he easily lifted it up with a casual motion.
Du Ming's movements were swift, almost like shaking an empty hand by his side. When the minute was up, the counting customer shouted in disbelief, "One hundred... one hundred and three?!"
Du Ming still looked very relaxed, his breathing was stable, he patted his arm and stood up, smiled at Chen Zikun, "How's that, do you concede?"
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Chen Zikun looked at Du Ming's eyes as if he had seen an alien, "Did you cheat? You can't be so fast with this weight!"
Du Ming turned his head and glanced at the instrument and material, helplessly spreading his hands. "Sorry, the instruments are here, you can check them out."
Chen Zikun walked over to take a look at the equipment, and indeed, it was of the highest quality. He still couldn't believe it, shaking his head repeatedly, "This is absolutely impossible! I refuse to accept this! Do you dare to compete with me in something else?!"
