Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

"Ugh!!"

With a heavy grunt, the bald strongman tensed all his muscles and, relying on his immense strength, slowly lifted the 120-kilogram dumbbell.

But just as he was about to stand up straight, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly bent over and then lost his grip, causing the dumbbell to heavily crash onto the cushion.

At this moment, his face was completely red, whether from overexertion or embarrassment, he didn't dare to look at the surrounding people. Instead, he turned back to his mentor and awkwardly said, "I didn't expect it to be this heavy; it was indeed a bit slippery..."

Hearing this, Great Year's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "I just said, not being able to lift it isn't because it's slippery, but because your grip strength isn't enough.

Don't make excuses. If you can't lift it, then you can't lift it. Making excuses for failure is even more embarrassing."

Seeing the bald man's face full of embarrassment, Great Year cast a sidelong glance at the other students behind him, and calmly said, "Any of you want to give it a try?"

Then, fearing no one would step up, he added, "In our profession, failing challenges is normal, but if you don't even have the courage to try, you might as well give up now."

Hearing their mentor speak like that, the others no longer hesitated and stepped forward one by one.

However, compared to the first bald guy, they were clearly much more cautious and serious, no longer taking it lightly.

The 120-kilogram dumbbell isn't the limit of human strength, but not every fitness athlete can lift it with one hand.

Different fitness athletes have different training focuses and specialties. They have certain strength requirements, but not all can reach this standard, which also depends on personal talent, training level, and other factors.

Especially since Great Year's students haven't been training for very long; for instance, the bald guy earlier had only competed in one professional competition.

As one by one, Great Year's students took the stage, the crowd gathered around grew larger and larger, cheering, applauding, which instantly enlivened the area.

Among Great Year's seven students, three completed the challenge, while four failed.

One person managed to stand upright for two seconds. Originally, Zhou Shun intended to give him a pass, but Great Year refused.

Even though half of his students failed the challenge, Great Year wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded and encouraged them, saying:

"Failure is nothing to fear. What's scary is refusing to step up out of pride. Now you know your strengths, and you should work harder in training to regain your dignity."

Everyone nodded in agreement, especially those who had failed earlier, each filled with determination, seemingly planning to come back and try again after some more training, even if not for the reward, just to challenge themselves.

At this moment, someone noticed Huang Jun beside Zhou Shun and couldn't help but say, "Jun God, why not give us a demonstration?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Huang Jun with great interest, starting to coax.

"Yes, Jun God, show us, let us witness it."

"Jun God, this is your event, at least someone should succeed and show us!"

With more and more people coaxing, Huang Jun, who originally didn't want to show off, had no choice but to step forward and say to everyone, "Since everyone wants to see, I'll give it a try. But fitness is for better health, this is just a game, no need to take it too seriously."

After saying that, Huang Jun took a deep breath, his large muscles bulging, then slightly squatted, grabbed the dumbbell firmly with his right hand, and with a low shout, he lifted the 120-kilogram dumbbell firmly. After holding it for three seconds, he put it down smoothly.

Seeing this, the crowd immediately erupted.

"Wow, Jun God is awesome!"

"No wonder he's the professional match champion; his strength is really much greater than ours."

"I reckon only professional athletes like them can lift that dumbbell."

"Didn't you see the earlier guys, they were also professional athletes and couldn't lift it. I think even professional athletes need to be exceptionally skilled."

...

While the gym's atmosphere was heating up, a young man in a casual suit walked towards the entrance of the Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall with a hint of anticipation.

Li Jing's appearance drew some attention from passersby, not because he was overly dazzling, but because behind him followed a stunningly beautiful woman with an extraordinary demeanor.

Compared to before, ever since being with Li Jing, An Tong's income and living standards have improved, enhancing her skincare and makeup skills significantly.

Moreover, she meticulously dressed up every time she went out with Li Jing, and now her fashionable yet somewhat sexy appearance drew many admiring glances.

Consequently, Li Jing, who initially went unnoticed, now drew several glances himself.

Li Jing hadn't realized this situation before, but now, with many people gathered at the gym entrance, the situation became quite noticeable.

Li Jing couldn't help but turn to An Tong and say, "No wonder they say online that the best way for a man to flaunt wealth isn't to drive a luxury car or wear a fancy watch, but to have a beautiful woman by his side.

Even if you're in just shorts and unshaven, people will think you're rich."

Hearing this, An Tong blushed slightly and whispered, "That's not true. You're quite handsome yourself."

Saying this, she instinctively moved closer, clinging tightly to Li Jing, pressing her ample chest against his arm.
