The fitness center in the Luo Huang Building was luxuriously renovated with heavy investment from Luo Yihuaung. Compared with some high-end gyms, it was not inferior at all.
It had all kinds of fitness equipment with an area of over a thousand square meters. At the most central area, there was even a boxing ring of more than twenty square meters.
Half of the area here was used for training the company's bodyguards, while the other more luxurious half was Luo Yihuaung's exclusive gym.
At this moment, a man wearing a tight T-shirt and loose black pants was standing above the boxing ring.
The tight T-shirt perfectly showed off his burly muscles, making him involuntarily gain more confidence.
This person was Luo Huang Group's first bodyguard Pei Ying. Pei Ying had once won the national martial arts championship, but then he was defeated by someone, and since then he had disappeared from the martial arts competitions. Relying on his past glory, he got a job as a bodyguard for Luo Huang Group, earning a high salary of 200,000 yuan per month.
Pei Ying's hands were clasped behind his back as his stern eyes looked at the ten people standing below. A hint of arrogance was mixed in his ordinary-looking face.
He had received instructions from Chairman Luo to assess the candidates for the bodyguard position today.
"It's not easy to be a bodyguard. Since you have the courage to apply for a job at Luo Huang Group, your only goal should be to impress me." Pei Ying spoke like a drill sergeant instructing new recruits, with an arrogant attitude.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly brought Luo Yihuaung and Qin Qinghan into the gym.
Pei Ying turned his head to look, his eyes instantly showing amazement. As the first bodyguard of Luo Huang Group, Pei Ying often saw Luo Yihuaung, but every time he saw that perfectly beautiful figure like a blooming snow lotus, his heart still couldn't help but boil with excitement.
But soon, his eyes were drawn to the other woman beside Luo Yihuaung.
Compared to the icy beauty aura of Luo Yihuaung, the woman possessed a gentle and elegant beauty that would make any man feel tender.
With equally stunning beauty and rare exquisite looks, if Luo Yihuaung was like a snow lotus on an iceberg, then the woman beside her was like a gentle angel who had descended to earth.
This must be the new CEO, Miss Qin. She really is a peerless beauty, just as the rumors say.
Pei Ying's eyes lingered on Qin Qinghan for a moment, and he even more hoped that one day he could become her personal bodyguard. With his extraordinary skills, perhaps he could even win the beauty's heart.
"Hello Chairman Luo, Hello Miss Qin." Pei Ying greeted Luo Yihuaung and Qin Qinghan in his heart, but his eyes kept following the two women as they moved.
Qin Qinghan nodded slightly to Pei Ying, while Luo Yihuaung just glanced at Pei Ying and then led Qin Qinghan to stand in front of the ten candidates.
With just a glance, their expressions became interesting.
Because among the ten people, one tall figure was particularly eye-catching. He was still wearing that black Zhongshan suit, not knowing if he had prepared many suits of the same color or he had never changed his clothes.
Who else could this person be other than Ye Fengwu? Ye Fengwu was tall and sturdy to begin with. Coupled with his chiseled handsome face, standing among the crowd made him look like a crane among chickens.
Compared to the tension and awkwardness on the faces of several others, Ye Fengwu appeared much more calm and restrained, emanating a unique temperament from him, which seemed to give people a sense of security.
Qin Qinghan covered her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that Ye Fengwu would come to apply for a bodyguard position at Luo Huang Group.
With his relationship with Jiang Hao, he didn't need this kind of job at all. Or was it that he had some other purpose?
From Qin Qinghan's understanding of Ye Fengwu these days, this man seemed to have a purpose for everything he did.
Luo Yihuaung obviously didn't expect that Ye Fengwu would dare to come to her company to apply for a bodyguard position either.
Although Luo Bingxiao told her that Ye Fengwu could be trusted, she still couldn't relax her vigilance against him.
Because all of his performance during the kidnapping incident showed too much authenticity.
Ye Fengwu glanced at Qin Qinghan, giving her a meaningful smile.
This scene fell into Pei Ying's eyes, making him snort in his heart. A job applicant actually dared to flirt with his eyes at Miss Qin. He would teach this guy a lesson later.
At this moment, Luo Yihuaung suddenly looked at Pei Ying and said lightly, "Pei Ying, choose a few people from them who you think are qualified. You decide the method yourself."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ying nodded, and then cast his stern eyes at the ten people below the stage. When his eyes swept past Ye Fengwu, there was clearly some more coldness.
"My name is Pei Ying, and I may become your team leader. Of course, if you don't have real skills, then you are not qualified to have me as your team leader." Pei Ying shouted loudly at the ten people below, his tone full of arrogance.
"If you want to work under me, it's simple..." Pei Ying snorted softly and pointed to the ring below his feet. He continued, "Come up. Whoever can withstand ten rounds in my hands will be qualified to stay. Otherwise...go back where you came from."
As soon as his voice fell, some people's faces turned even more nervous.
Ye Fengwu's expression remained calm. He kept his eyes on Qin Qinghan, making her lower her head with a flushed face.
This did not escape Pei Ying's eyes of course, making him even more angry. If he didn't make this brat suffer a bit later, he would not deserve to be the first bodyguard of Luo Huang Group.
Then Pei Ying snorted again, "Our recruitment goal is five people, and it's also very likely that none will be recruited."
When he spoke to the end, Pei Ying's eyes on Ye Fengwu also narrowed as he said, "Who's first?"
As soon as his voice fell, none of the ten people stepped forward immediately, seemingly hesitant and nervous.
Seeing this, the disdain in Pei Ying's eyes grew thicker.
"I...I'll go first."
Finally, a tall and burly man on the far left stepped forward and then entered the ring.
"Commendable courage. I hope you have real skills." Pei Ying still had his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently.
The burly man gritted his teeth, and his 200-pound body directly pounced at Pei Ying.
Whoosh!
The burly man threw a straight punch at Pei Ying's face, seemingly without holding back his strength.
Pei Ying took a step back and easily dodged it. The corner of his mouth curled up as he said disdainfully, "You have strength but not enough speed."
Failing to hit with the first punch, the burly man then threw a left hook punch upward, aiming directly at Pei Ying's chin.
Pei Ying shook his head contemptuously. His clasped hands finally came out. His figure was seen moving quickly to the burly man's left side. A hook punch accurately hit the man's left ribs.
The burly man grunted in pain, involuntarily arching his body. Immediately after, a heavy punch smashed down from above onto the back of the burly man's neck.
This blow directly knocked the burly man down to the ground.
"Next." Pei Ying effortlessly eliminated one person. His arrogant eyes glanced at Luo Yihuaung and Qin Qinghan.
But the two women didn't seem to have put their eyes on him at all, let alone showed any intention of applauding.
The second person went up immediately after, but also did not withstand Pei Ying for long.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth... Eight people in a row had failed to withstand five moves from Pei Ying.
Now the only ones left who hadn't gone up on stage were Ye Fengwu and another somewhat slender figure dressed in black with extremely sharp eyes.
Ye Fengwu glanced at the youth in black. His face was ordinary, but there was an aura from him that made Ye Fengwu frown slightly.
When the youth in black entered the ring, the disdain in Pei Ying's eyes grew thicker. He seemed to look down on such a slender figure.
Whoosh!
Without much words, the youth made a move as soon as he got on stage, punching straight at Pei Ying's throat, one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Even the strongest person would become passive in the subsequent fight if hit there.
So it was obvious that this youth in black had abundant combat experience.
Luo Huang clearly did not expect this guy to suddenly attack, and his attack speed was extremely fast.
This caught Pei Ying a little off guard, his figure swayed slightly as he barely avoided it, and then quickly counterattacked.
But the young man in black was even more nimble, not only calmly dodging Pei Ying's attack, but every time he struck out he made Pei Ying frantic, seemingly on the verge of being defeated at any moment.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
