Buying household supplies and drinks went very quickly. Before leaving, Luo Su had sent over his shopping list, and by the time he had arrived at the market, everything was ready and waiting.

He inspected the goods, counted them, loaded them, paid the money, and then shared a cigarette with the owner of the market while boasting a little. Once all this was said and done, he had settled his supplies for the month. Of course, if there was one kind of drink that was particularly popular, he might need to make another trip, but that sort of situation was rare. After running the apartment for a while, he had developed a good grasp of how quickly the drinks were bought.

As he was heading home, Luo Su took a turn and drove to a gym downtown. He had come to this place often after his break-up, but not so much after he became a landlord.

The gym was meant for the general public, and it was rather low-level when it came to both hardware and software. Its equipment mostly consisted of treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes, dumbbells, and barbells.

It was very ordinary, but also very popular. The aerobics and yoga classes were a particular bright spot, attracting many perverts. They called themselves lovers of fitness and would strongly argue their case, but the fact that they only watched and didn’t work out, barely broke a sweat and wore loose-fitting pants exposed their vulgar motivations.

For Luo Su’s current body, going to the gym was really a little different from playing house. He came here because there was a wrestling club next door. It had been under renovation back when he used to come to the gym, though it had probably opened by now.

Since it was a wrestling club, the equipment would definitely be more specialized than the gym’s. Luo Su decided to take a look around, and if it was right for him, he would apply for a membership card so he could visit more frequently.

The wrestling club was located on the tenth floor of the building. After going through a simple procedure, he headed to the changing room to change his clothes. His pecs weren’t that big, and the shape of his body was far from being described as an upside-down triangle, and his body fat level was not as low as that of an athlete’s. However, he had a well-curved body, muscular legs, well-defined back muscles, and attractive upper-chest muscles.

He appeared thin while wearing clothes but muscular when he took them off. Normally, it was very difficult to see his body’s excellent physical condition!

At this time, an instructor of the wrestling club was also in the changing room. This experienced instructor immediately determined that Luo Su had worked out before. In order to prevent rookies who were starting from zero from getting beaten down, he immediately increased Luo Su’s customer level and took him to the amateur athlete area.

Yes, there were only amateurs here, not professionals, and even calling them amateurs was a bit too much. The words ‘hobbyist’ and ‘fan’ were more appropriate.

After chatting with the instructor, Luo Su developed a somewhat better understanding of this club.

The wrestling club was a business, and its owner had naturally started it to make money. Explanations like ‘I really like wrestling, so I didn’t open this business to make money, so I opened this business so that people can better understand wrestling’ were purely meant to hoodwink people. Businesses were opened to make money; The objective was quite clear.

But it was rather difficult to make money from wrestling, as it wasn’t suitable for the general public. But it also wasn’t completely without attraction. For ordinary people, wrestling seemed very high-end and awesome. While they found it dangerous, they also couldn’t help but feel curious.

Seizing this curiosity and nurturing it into a hobby and habit was extremely important. If one acted professionally, then my apologies, but the customer would be gone on the second day. They came to this place to sweat, exercise, vent…and boast.

Put bluntly; they wanted to release pressure, not seek abuse!

Rather than being a king of fighters, ordinary people were more realistic. They wanted to learn one or two defensive moves, or perhaps they had come purely so that they could be cool. As for how to fight in a match, which places on their opponent’s body were worth more points, and which instructor had won a gold belt, they didn’t care a bit! Those things were far too distant from them.

In order to attract customers, the club’s instructors primarily taught simple wrestling techniques that looked good or exercised that were derived from actual wrestling moves. This was perfect for young customers, as it was exactly the sort of wrestling they wanted.

Exercise the body, remold the personality, and look cool!

This was also why the club had only amateurs despite looking rather large-scale.

“In truth, most of our customers are police officers…” The instructor was rather proud as he said this. “It’s still early, but in the afternoon or at night, our big customers will come.”

The instructor looked around, and then he got up close to Luo Su and whispered, “Our boss has connections in the police, so we don’t have to worry about not having high-class customers. Those cops are bursting with energy, and also…they’re big spenders!”

Luo Su: “…”

The instructor boasted a little more to Luo Su, but seeing that he wasn’t saying much, he started to help Luo Su warm up.

After massaging his legs and stretching a little, Luo Su began to play around with the barbells and then do bench presses. But these things no longer had any effect on him. After huffing and puffing around for some time to help Luo Su, the instructor himself was already feeling rather tired, but Luo Su was still cold.

“Brother, it’s enough!”

Seeing that Luo Su was still not breathing hard and moving the two barbells like they were toys, the instructor took Luo Su to the wrestling cage. The ring was occupied with several pretty girls doing some unrestricted wrestling…this was a little overstating thing. Really, they were just going ‘hyah’ and ‘hah’ as they threw dumb punches, and they rolled around on the ground. Rules didn’t really matter to them. It was fine as long as they were happy.

There was a crowd of spectators, all of them men. Whenever those girls fell to the ground while wrestling with each other, these men were bound to laugh harmoniously.

Once they had put on their defensive gear, the instructor, knowing that Luo Su was no rookie, emphasized a few rules and then began to test Luo Su’s level. The instructor had also taken part in a few matches before and obtained a few titles, but he wasn’t good enough to enter the top bracket, so he changed jobs to the instructor.

“Remember, I will kick your right side. Remember to block!”

The two stood across from each other, and after giving a warning, the instructor began to shuffle toward Luo Su, staking short and quick steps. His expression was focused, and the cadence of his footwork showed that he was no amateur. The moment he was close enough to Luo Su, he kicked at the defensive padding on Luo Su’s right arm.

Thud!

Luo Su easily blocked it. In truth, he felt the barbells to be more effective, but the instructor was so serious that he couldn’t bring himself to upset the man.

“It’s your turn this time. Use the foot that you use the most to kick me. You don’t have to worry about injuring me!”

The instructor took up a defensive posture, his feet constantly shifting positions. After looking at Luo Su’s shoulders, he determined that the kick would come from the right leg and raised his arm to block.

This kick hit right onto the defensive padding. The instructor nodded in approval at the posture. But a second later, a massive force traveled up his arm. His legs suddenly went soft, and he slammed into the top of the cage.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened? Did I fall asleep?

The instructor lay on the floor in shock. He knew that he had encountered an expert, but he wasn’t angry. He could see that Luo Su had held back and hadn’t intended to injure him. He smiled as he stood back up, and after hopping around a little, he attacked.

A sweeping kick went for Luo Su’s shoulder. It was fast, powerful, and excellently timed, but Luo Su easily blocked it.

The instructor nodded and indicated that it was Luo Su’s turn to attack, but Luo Su shook his head in refusal and took up a defensive posture. The instructor didn’t stand on ceremony, taking a large step forward and punching. The punch was very fast…but it was still blocked.

For the next minute, the instructor held nothing back, using all the skills he learned: Uppercuts, leg sweeps, straight punches…his offensive was powerful and rapid.

All of it was blocked.

Luo Su wasn’t even breathing hard, but the instructor was already holding the sides of the cage for support. He could see that the gap was just too great and that his man wasn’t even taking him seriously.

The two left the cage, upon which the instructor enthusiastically asked, “Your reaction speed is incredible. I’ve never met someone so extraordinary! Have you ever thought about being a professional?”

Luo Su shook his head, to which the instructor sighed, but he didn’t try to force things. Giving himself away to leave the topic, he said, “True, it doesn’t look like you lack money, and your age isn’t right either.”

The dejected instructor went off to the changing room to mope. Luo Su went to the exercise equipment area, wanting to know where the limits of his strength and endurance were. He began to exercise in a way that many people would consider masochistic.

Two hours went by, but Luo Su had still not found his limit. But he did receive many fragrant cards. Several girls had come over to chat with him and left these cards before leaving.

These girls mostly came from well-off families, and they had come here to learn techniques to protect themselves against sexual predators. A normal man was hardly worth their attention, but Luo Su, a man with a lot of ‘stamina,’ was something different.

He was handsome and had a good boy and strong stamina. If he couldn’t be their boyfriend, he could serve well in some other role.

When it came to the relationship between men and women, they didn’t feel any need to keep things secretive!

Luo Su thought the same, so he kept all the cards. There had been particularly fit women in that group, and he needed to have a spar with them.

The instructor, who had finally managed to shake off his shadow and emerge from the changing room with a smile, silently took this all in, and then he went back into the changing room, this time with a towel.

“Just where do I start…”
