"1201, 1202!"

Watching Di Shenqiang lying on the terrace with a loud thump, gasping heavily, Xiu Ju of the Dark Department's gaze softened in a way it never had before.

Bearing a weight of 1,200 kilograms, after completing 1,000 squats, Shen Qiang, relying on his astonishing willpower, had also accomplished 1,200 sit-ups.

Fine beads of sweat evenly sprinkled across Shen Qiang's abs, moving rhythmically with his breaths, and witnessing his smooth form, a flicker of joy and bashfulness unexpectedly shone in the depths of Xiu Ju's eyes from the Dark Department.

This was the fourth day of Shen Qiang's weighted training.

Three whole days had passed since that night.

No one could stop Shen Qiang's cry to become a strong man, it still echoes from time to time in Xiu Ju's ears from the Dark Department.

That day, when Shen Qiang managed to reach home step by laborious step with his astonishing willpower, it was already bright outside.

It seemed a bit silly, but at the same time, it made Xiu Ju from the Dark Department admire him immensely.

Because the world is vast, there are many geniuses deemed to have extraordinary talents, who don't need to struggle much to achieve enviable success, not requiring much hard work to lead far ahead of others.

But in the end, can one purely with talent become a Supreme powerhouse?

The answer is no.

Because in cultivation, it's easy to begin but hard to master.

So, in the Cultivation World, there are plenty of people below the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.

With great talent and a solid foundation, one will have a smooth journey in the early stages of cultivation, advancing rapidly enough to astonish others, but as the cultivation level increases, the progression of one's realm slows down drastically.

Even with enviable talent, without that astonishing willpower and arduous cultivation, one cannot become a true powerhouse.

Before that night, Shen Qiang, through Xiu Ju's eyes, was just a talented playboy wielding a strange power, domineering, with loads of cash, several girlfriends, extraordinarily lucky, somewhat clever, yet complacent and weak.

But that night, when Xiu Ju saw Shen Qiang, who had exhausted his physical strength, spend over ten hours to return to Jinyu Huacheng, she knew, Shen Qiang's rise was unstoppable.

During these three days,

Shen Qiang added an extra hundred kilograms to his weight each day.

And after completing the morning and evening training, he still wore the weights for his day-to-day tasks.

So even though it's only been a brief three days,

Shen Qiang not only acquired a sharper aura, but his physical strength also surged rapidly, most evident in his muscles which have become more defined from their previous smooth lines.

What's more, to Xiu Ju's surprise, Shen Qiang's True Qi and True Yuan were also increasing at a rapid pace; if she wasn't mistaken, this must be because Shen Qiang had taken the Pei Yuan Pills he refined himself.

That being said, if Shen Qiang consistently maintained this training regimen, even Xiu Ju had to admit, Shen Qiang in three months, though might not be assured to defeat Cheng Hai, would absolutely possess the strength to fight him!

Stealing glances at Shen Qiang's abdomen glistening with fine beads of sweat, Xiu Ju tried to make conversation and said, "Another girl from the Medical University jumped off a building yesterday, but she wasn't lucky enough to meet you."

Shen Qiang let out a breath and slowly sat up, saying, "A romantic entanglement?"

Glancing at her phone, Xiu Ju said, "Doesn't seem like it, the person who posted online said this girl had three handsome and rich boyfriends who really liked her, her family was well off, and her academic performance was decent; there seems to be no reason for her to commit suicide."

Shen Qiang fell silent, taking the saline water passed to him by an approaching cicada, he said gravely, "Could she have been pushed?"

Xiu Ju furrowed her brows, "Possible, but that's a matter for the police to deal with, it has nothing to do with us."

Shen Qiang got up and walked towards his room.

"I've been wondering about the girl who was saved before; she might also have had no reason to commit suicide."

Xiu Ju frowned and said, "She was pushed down, that's what she said when she woke up, only she couldn't make out who it was that pushed her, let alone whether it was a man or a woman."

Shen Qiang nodded and entered the bathroom.

After washing away the sweat from his body and changing into fresh clothes, Shen Qiang drove with Xiu Ju from the Dark Department to University City.

Upon arrival,

Xiu Ju headed to the graduate school,

while Shen Qiang made a beeline for the library.

As he neared the library, Shen Qiang immediately spotted Miao Xiaoxia standing in the shade of a tree by the roadside. She looked at Shen Qiang with a youthful and shy expression in her eyes.

Shen Qiang walked over, "Why didn't you wait for me in the library?"

Miao Xiaoxia smiled, "I wanted to, but just as I got here, I saw you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Why isn't Zhang Jing with you?"

"She has been taking care of Geng Liang lately." Miao Xiaoxia pursed her lips and smiled, "I think those two are dating, but my cousin won't admit it."

Shen Qiang laughed, it seemed that not using the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment for Geng Liang was indeed a wise choice.

Seeing that Shen Qiang remained silent, Miao Xiaoxia grasped at straws to find a topic, "The new semester has just started, and a lot of things have happened in the college. They are saying that the college might move the winter military training, which was set to begin, to now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang was slightly surprised, "Why?"

"They say it's for easier management, but I'm not clear about the specifics," she said.

Hearing Miao Xiaoxia's words, Shen Qiang frowned slightly. In fact, when Shen Qiang had first started college, they began military training immediately after entry, but later on, the training was shifted to the winter. Now, the sudden rumors of reverting it likely meant that there had been too many accidents in the college recently, and they were worried about the impact.

As he was contemplating, a scream suddenly came from beside Shen Qiang. He turned his head and saw a girl looking up at the library building with a horrified gaze.

Shen Qiang looked up and immediately saw a girl in a white dress flying out from the fifth floor of the library, with her cell phone tumbling down through the air beside her.

"Save her!"

Amidst the shocked cries of the crowd, Shen Qiang suddenly exerted his strength.

However, with a burden of twelve hundred kilograms, his speed was not much faster than that of an ordinary person.

"Release the burden!"

In just an instant, Shen Qiang, having shed the twelve hundred kilograms, shot forward like an arrow from a bow.

Feeling the wind rushing against his face,

Shen Qiang's body was now so light that he did not even need to use True Qi. With just a slight push from his feet, he could move as lightly as a swallow.

So fast!

Feeling the lightness and sense of power that came with the release of the burden,

Shen Qiang's eyes shone with excitement!

Whoosh!

In almost an instant, Shen Qiang had reached the ground floor.

Standing on the cold, hard floor tiles, Shen Qiang looked up at the fast-falling girl in the dress, his lips curling into a proud arc.

"Get out of the way! Don't catch her, it will kill you!"

"Wu Cao! Move aside, haven't you learned physics? If you get hit, you're definitely dead!"
