Chen Zhao rested at home for the next two days. It was also Chen Zhao’s most relaxing period so far.
Fali did not go to work either. She stayed at home with Chen Zhao everyday, enjoying herself.
Robio thought that Fali had to take care of Chen Zhao, so he approved her leave without hesitation.
In reality, however, Chen Zhao was already fully vigorous the day after discharge. The couple were only giving themselves a holiday.
On the third day, the two of them returned to work.
Chen Zhao had already spoken to the six other friends involved, including Fali.
They agreed to sell to PLM Film the copyright to turn their story into a movie.
It cost seven hundred thousand, which meant a hundred thousand for each of them.
The incident they had experienced had a very big, perhaps even stirring, influence in America.
The video taken that night already had over a hundred million views on various websites combined.
In fact, apart from PLM, many film companies of varying sizes had also contacted Chen Zhao and his friends.
However, they offered little money and were not sincere at all.
David and Leonardo were also commended for their actions that night in their respective police stations.
Kate even became famous in the media industry due to that single night. The video she had taken became the focus which various media firms competed for.
Sienna and Chris could not wait to get the money, because after that night, the relationship between David and Kate surged rapidly.
They had to move out of David’s house before something bad happened.
Chen Zhao decided to lend them his money first so that they could find accommodation outside.
Leonardo really valued the friendship between him and the others. Moreover, he felt that after experiencing the danger together, their friendship would become even stronger.
…
When Chen Zhao got to the fitness center, almost everyone that he knew came to greet him.
“Chen, you’re amazing! I saw you send a Mexican gangster flying with just one kick.”
“Chen, bring me to see Amon too! My son tells me everyday that he wants to go to Angel Beach, but we didn’t see Amon there.”
“…”
Gaia approached Chen Zhao. “How’s your body?”
“Recovering well.”
Gaia pulled Chen Zhao’s collar down and looked at the wound on his chest. “That’s fast.”
“I’m a doctor too, after all.”
“You seem to be good, but let’s slow today’s lesson down. Practice with Anderson.”
While Gaia looked rough on the outside, she actually had the empathy of a lady.
Usually, however, she would not display it.
Chen Zhao’s injury had more or less fully recovered. After all, in the past two days, he had already been sleeping relentlessly with Fali at home.
As Chen Zhao and Anderson practiced with each other, Gaia observed Chen Zhao’s condition.
Gaia was the ideal coach, whether it was her personal ability or her responsible attitude toward her students.
“Chen, come down,” Gaia called.
Chen Zhao and Anderson stopped their training.
“Let me give you a test.”
“What? You mean being beaten by a few people like the last time? Or by you? Actually, my injury has yet to recover completely…”
“No, just a few tests on your physical strength.”
“I’ve in fact already done those at my friend’s house last time.”
Chen Zhao had indeed done these tests at Rufford’s house.
“What’s your record for squat?”
“490kg.”
“You sure it’s correct?”
“Yes.”
What did 490kg mean?
The world record for heavyweight squat was only 470kg, and it was the heavyweight record.
Gaia’s limit was about 265kg. Of course, she did not usually train this, so her result obviously could not be compared to the world record.
“How about deadlift and bench press?”
“Deadlift was 550kg,” Chen Zhao recalled. “I think 380kg for bench press.”
In fact, these were only his results a few weeks ago. Chen Zhao felt that he was still growing and had yet to reach his true limit.
Gaia brought Chen Zhao to a boxing machine. “Hit this.”
“How?”
“Full speed. Don’t stop until I tell you to,” Gaia instructed.
Chen Zhao warmed his limbs up and got into the right stance.
“Start.” At the instant Gaia started the stopwatch, she heard continuous bangs from the machine.
“Stop.” Gaia paused the timing and then walked up to the screen.
According to the display, Chen Zhao had punched 121 times in ten seconds. It was another world record.
His strongest and weakest punches were 211kg and 165kg respectively.
It was a very good result in quick punching.
Gaia cleared the result. “Again. This time, charge your punch and hit it as hard as possible. Only one punch is needed.”
Chen Zhao took in a deep breath. Then, he punched out and his fist smashed hard onto the sandbag on the machine.
Pong!
The sandbag flew away. A number appeared on the screen: 1000.
Gaia shook her head. The record in the boxing world was set by the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, but his official record was much less.
Chen Zhao’s punch had already surpassed the limit of a normal human being.
Gaia glanced at Chen Zhao. By just looking at his physical strength, he could no longer be considered as a human.
Gaia had seen the video of Chen Zhao fighting with the Mexican gangsters that night. In the video, Chen Zhao had almost managed to defeat one person with each hit. Those people all had permanent disabilities from their injuries.
If Chen Zhao went for a wrestling or boxing competition, he might really beat his opponent to death.
“Don’t tell me you’re a biological weapon made in China.”
“Have you ever seen a biological weapon that you can press onto the ground and beat as much as you like?” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.
“If you want to go for any fighting competition, I can make you a world champion. Pick any style you like.”
“Please, I’m only a doctor.”
Gaia gave a wry smile and shook her head. She would rarely encounter someone who was so strong, even talented, but unfortunately Chen Zhao was not interested.
Apart from his skills, Chen Zhao was perfect in every area.
Of course, Gaia was not the kind of person who would force others to do things they did not enjoy.
If Chen Zhao was willing to take part in competitions, she would clearly be happy to create a champion in the boxing world.
However, if Chen Zhao was unwilling, she would not force him.
When Chen Zhao left the fitness center, a business car stopped before him.
A lady stuck her head out of the window. “Mr. Chen, please come in.”
Chen Zhao found the lady somewhat familiar. “You are?”
Just then, the rear window also opened. It was Chen Zhao’s mother.
“Come in.” It was the first time Chen Zhao met his mother in the last half a year.
“Does your daughter need bone marrows?” Chen Zhao asked, remaining stationary.
Chen Zhao’s mother stared at him. To Chen Zhao, she was more like a familiar stranger.
Chen Zhao was calm and respectful, but he was clearly keeping his distance from her. After keeping silent for a while, his mother asked, “I only wanted to ask you about your injury.”
“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”
“Great. I still have something else. Bye.”
“Bye.”
