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

Immediately, he gritted his teeth slightly, clearly feeling his face heat up, and his whole body tensed up.

"For me... rise!"

As he involuntarily let out a low shout, the dumbbell weighing almost as much as two adult men was slowly lifted by Li Jing's right hand, under the gradually widening eyes of everyone.

At the same time, the fitted white shirt he was wearing was fully stretched by his bulging muscles, and even though it was covered by the fabric, the shape of his strong and taut muscles could still be discerned.

"One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds..."

Bang.

With a dull thud, the dumbbell fell from Li Jing's relaxed hand, hitting the mat.

Li Jing exhaled a long breath, rubbed the muscles of his right arm, and turned to Zhou Shun and Huang Jun, asking, "How about it, five seconds means success, right?"

"Ah, no, th-three seconds is enough..."

Zhou Shun instinctively replied, but his face was still full of shock.

"Brother Jing, your strength is actually this great?" Huang Jun, on the side, was even more wide-eyed, as if he'd seen a ghost.

The others were similarly dumbfounded, each standing in place, forgetting to speak.

Only Great Year, after being shocked, was the first to ask, "President Li, you must have been working out for quite a while, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing only then noticed this sturdy middle-aged man and, not knowing his identity, simply smiled and replied, "Not bad, perhaps I have a good talent."

Although Huang Jun had created a workout plan for him, the other party also didn't know about Li Jing's training situation.

So to cover things up, Li Jing planned to attribute everything to natural talent.

In fact, there indeed is such a thing as talent in fitness, where a small number of people can achieve better physiques and strength more quickly than others using the same workout routine.

"President Li is too modest."

At this moment, Great Year had lost the previous disdain and dissatisfaction, genuinely admiringly said, "I wonder if President Li wouldn't mind showing off your physique, I estimate that your physique is already close to that of a natural fitness professional athlete."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

With the growing seriousness of drug issues in fitness over these two years, many organizations had started advocating for natural, drug-free fitness. Although it was not as visually impactful as traditional, drug-assisted fitness, it was healthier.

However, due to its relatively late development and lack of visual impact, the influence of natural fitness events was far less than the international professional competitions that Huang Jun and others participated in.

But this time, Great Year's indication that Li Jing's physique might be close to a natural fitness athlete, the weight of these words was something only professional athletes understood.

Even though natural fitness athletes do not possess as exaggerated muscles and physiques as those supplemented with substances, they are still professional athletes, and neither their muscle lines nor muscle mass can be matched by ordinary fitness enthusiasts.

Therefore, after Great Year said this, even though everyone respected him, they still didn't believe it.

How could someone as wealthy as Li Jing genuinely put in the hard work and effort to sculpt their body to an athlete's level?

Even celebrities only work out to build a persona and attract more fans, and most of their fitness levels are nowhere near an athlete's level.

"Showcase?"

Li Jing, upon hearing this, was taken aback. He hadn't expected the other party to make such a direct request.

But on second thought, it's normal, as in the gym, enthusiasts often take off their shirts to show off.

For ordinary people, it might be something private, but for them, it's just showcasing the fruits of their efforts.

Clearly, Great Year making this request meant he had already regarded Li Jing as a professional fitness person, assuming that the latter would not object to showing off his physique.

Seeing the expectant looks from everyone, Li Jing reluctantly smiled, "Alright then, I just practice at home; my muscles are much smaller than yours."

In reality, Li Jing didn't consider his physique to be exaggerated, especially since there were so many towering, bear-like athletes standing before him.

So, after he removed his shirt to show off, there was no trace of boastfulness or pride, just calmly spreading his hands, "That's it."

"What?!"

Li Jing found it unremarkable, but after Great Year and others saw his physique, their pupils constricted.

Even when Li Jing had lifted the 120-kilogram dumbbell earlier, they hadn't been this shocked.

Great Year's breathing became heavy, his eyes widened in amazement, "President Li, your physique is definitely top-tier among domestic natural fitness athletes..."

The apprentice behind him couldn't help but marvel in disbelief.

"Wow, these muscle patterns are incredibly defined."

"Isn't the most striking thing his muscle shape? Other people's muscles have more or less some flaws, but his muscle shape is as standard as a comic character's."

"And his body proportions, the head-to-body ratio and shoulder width ratio are perfect, like a walking clothes hanger."

Compared to Great Year and others' professional knowledge, other onlookers couldn't see much, just found Li Jing's physique exceptionally pleasing, like a perfect sculpture.

Huang Jun and Zhou Shun were at a loss for words, as if they were meeting Li Jing for the first time.

Only An Tong, seeing everyone's shocked expressions, wore a joyous smile, feeling extremely proud and dignified for Li Jing.

As Li Jing saw Great Year and the others' reactions, he was slightly surprised, only then realizing his physique had reached this level, immediately putting his clothes back on, not daring to showcase too much.

After all, if this matter got too big, Li Jing wouldn't know how to manage it.

"Brother Shun..."

Li Jing walked up to the still dumbfounded Zhou Shun and asked, "Where's the rest area you mentioned earlier? I'd like to sit there."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shun snapped out of it and immediately replied, "O-Over here, Brother Li, follow me."

Watching Li Jing leave, everyone looked at each other, their focus initially on the dumbbell challenge, but with Li Jing's arrival, their interest in it faded, all stunned by Li Jing's performance.

"Master, this President Li... seems to be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger..."

At this time, a bald man walked to Great Year's side, glancing at the dozens of people surrounding them, with complex and worrisome emotions, said, "With so many people witnessing President Li's performance today, tomorrow there will probably be all kinds of discussions online..."

"Discussions? As long as they're not rumors, what's to worry about the online discourse?"

Hearing Great Year's words, the bald man was taken aback, "Master, didn't you say before that President Li was being overly praised online?"

"I did think so before, but that was because I thought he was just a slightly wealthy investor, helpful to the fitness circle, but far from being the leader of our Tianhai Fitness Circle."

Great Year looked deeply in the direction Li Jing left, "But today's incident, as you also saw, his physique, his strength, you can't achieve such without professional training.

I was wondering why someone would be so generous, investing in Huang Jun, investing in the gym, being so daring in the fitness industry.

Now I understand, this President Li genuinely loves this industry, understands this industry, so he doesn't hesitate to heavily invest in developing the fitness industry."

Saying this, he slowly turned his head, filled with emotion, looking at his apprentice, "Before, I was too arrogant, becoming dissatisfied with President Li without understanding..."

"So what do we do now?" an apprentice asked.

Great Year took a deep breath, solemnly replied, "Such a person dedicated to the development of the fitness industry, we should make friends with him.

If in the future, we can develop Tianhai Fitness together with him, or even the national fitness industry, then the dream I've had for a lifetime has a chance to be realized."

The bald man scratched his head, "Master, even if he's wealthy and powerful, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll collaborate with us..."

"You..."

Hearing this, Great Year's eyes widened, then he retorted with annoyance, "Although we're not as wealthy as President Li, our Nian Family does have a significant influence in the national fitness world, and we have our value."

Saying this, he pondered for a moment, then continued, "But you have a point, we do need to showcase our value and sincerity.

Here's the thing, don't you all have social media accounts? Over the years, you've also accumulated some popularity in the circle, right?

Everyone today should publicly post a message, extending congratulations on the opening of Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall, congratulating Zhou Shun and Huang Jun, and finally adding a sincere thank you to President Li for his strong support of Tianhai Fitness."

Great Year confidently declared, "Although our traffic may not be as high as those internet celebrities, by publicly stating our stance, the entire fitness circle will know our position and attitude.

Not only does this bolster President Li's reputation within the circle, but it also deters others with envious eyes on Peak Fitness Comprehensive Hall from having any other thoughts."
