Chapter 96 Quickly Transmigrated! Going Bankrupt Overnight and Becoming the Young Master’s Bodyguard (V)
"Not bad," Shen Haoxuan said calmly, then turned and walked to the other side of the training ground. "Next item, weighted long-distance running."
I took a deep breath and followed. The weighted long-distance running route circled the entire manor, a total of five kilometers, and each person had to carry a 20-kilogram sandbag. My arms were still aching, but this did not affect my determination. I adjusted my breathing, stepped up, and followed closely behind the team. Li Dali ran beside me, and from time to time he glanced at me sideways, his eyes full of hostility.
When I was halfway through the run, I felt my strength starting to decline and my steps became heavy. Li Dali seemed to have noticed my condition. He suddenly sped up and ran in front of me, then deliberately slowed down to block my way. I cursed him in my heart and tried to adjust my pace to get around him. At this moment, Li Dali suddenly stretched out a foot to trip me. I was prepared and dodged his attack by leaning sideways. Li Dali didn't expect me to dodge, and his center of gravity was unstable. Instead, he fell to the ground and screamed.
I ignored him and continued running forward. I knew I couldn't stop or give up. I had to persevere, for my future and to prove myself.
Finally, I finished the long-distance weighted run. My clothes were soaked with sweat and my breathing became rapid, but I still insisted on standing up straight and waiting for the final test.
"The last item is the combat test." Shen Haoxuan's voice sounded again.
A tall, muscular man walked out of the crowd, walked in front of me, stared at me fiercely, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey at any time. I took a deep breath, I knew that this would be the most difficult test.
"Begin." As soon as Shen Haoxuan's voice fell, the strong man rushed towards me like an arrow from a bow...
The strong man pressed forward like an iron tower. I could almost feel the overwhelming force emanating from him. He threw a heavy punch straight at my face. I quickly dodged to the side. The wind from the punch brushed my cheek, causing a stinging pain. Before I could catch my breath, his next wave of attack came again. The sharp wind from his leg swept across my waist, causing me to take a few steps back.
I knew that I was no match for him in a head-on confrontation. He was bigger and stronger than me, so I could only try to dodge his attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack. His attacks were like a storm, and I was like a swaying boat, struggling to survive in the turbulent waves. I kept moving my feet, dodging and blocking, trying to reduce the damage caused by his attacks as much as possible.
"Bang!" I couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the abdomen by his fist. A sharp pain instantly spread throughout my body, and I felt that my internal organs were displaced. I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and didn't let myself fall down.
He pressed on, and I could only defend passively. My arms were getting sore, and my steps were getting heavier. I was hit again, this time in the cheek. I felt a warm liquid flowing from the corner of my mouth, and my vision became a little blurry.
I stumbled back, my parents’ disappointed eyes flashing before my eyes, the empty room flashing before my eyes, the life of luxury flashing before my eyes… I can’t lose! I must win! In order to gain a foothold in this city, in order to stand up again, in order not to disappoint my parents again!
I took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and my eyes became more determined than ever. I can't be beaten passively anymore, I must fight back!
I observed his movements, looking for his weakness. Although his attacks were fierce, they lacked technique, and he seemed to have consumed more energy than I did, and his breathing became rapid.
When he was about to punch me again, I didn't choose to dodge, but to meet him. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard, and at the same time raised my knee and hit him hard in the abdomen.
He uttered a cry of pain and his body involuntarily bent down. I took the opportunity to sweep his legs and knocked him to the ground. His huge body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.
I didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, I quickly rode on him and controlled his hands. I looked at his surprised eyes, and an indescribable pleasure surged in my heart.
There was silence all around, and everyone was stunned, including Manager Zhang. His expression of confidence turned into shock and helplessness. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Shen Haoxuan's eyes were always on me. His eyes were deep and complex, and I couldn't understand the meaning.
"I..." I was about to speak when Shen Haoxuan suddenly stood up. He walked straight in front of me and looked down at me. I got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and tried to stand more steadily. The air around us seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of us.
Shen Haoxuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. I couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment. He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he opened his thin lips and said, "Not bad." These three simple words seemed to break the silence around us and also let me feel relieved.
Manager Zhang came back to his senses at this time. With a forced smile on his face, he walked to Shen Haoxuan and said, "Mr. Shen, this guy didn't know how to control his strength and almost hurt Li Dali. I'm afraid he's not suitable to be your bodyguard..."
My heart tensed up. It was obvious that Manager Zhang was trying to take this opportunity to eliminate me. I was about to explain, but Shen Haoxuan raised his hand to interrupt Manager Zhang. He glanced at Manager Zhang calmly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "The winner has been decided. I have seen his strength and his resilience. Skills and adaptability are more important than brute force."
Manager Zhang's face froze, and he wanted to say something else, but Secretary Wang stopped him with a look. Secretary Wang walked to Shen Haoxuan and whispered a few words. Shen Haoxuan nodded slightly, then turned to me and said, "Feng Ziang, follow me."
I took a deep breath, suppressed my inner excitement, and followed Shen Haoxuan out of the training ground.
Along the way, Shen Haoxuan didn't say a word, and I kept silent too. My heart was beating fast, and I felt both relieved to have survived the ordeal and nervous about the future. I didn't know what Shen Haoxuan wanted me to do, and I didn't know whether I would be hired in the end.
He took me to a spacious and bright office and motioned me to sit down. I sat on the sofa a little awkwardly and looked around the office secretly. The simple decoration style revealed a low-key luxury everywhere. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the scenery of the entire city, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
