Training

"If I ever get the chance to meet him, I'd really like to hear his thoughts on life, the self, and existence."

As Yang Chu left Yutou Xu's home and walked toward the elevator, his mind was still occupied with the TV host he had seen earlier.

With his subconscious fading, no physical desires, and little emotional turmoil, Yang Chu found himself increasingly interested in the unknown and metaphysical aspects of existence.

He had no idea about the host's knowledge or character, nor did he care. However, when the host said, "If needed, I will give both my money and effort," it gave Yang Chu the impression that this host might be a person of some depth.

This news also led Yang Chu to reflect a bit on his own situation.

The fact that the disturbed taxi driver would eventually be caught, and that the police would come looking for him, was something Yang Chu had anticipated early on.

However, up until now, he hadn't had the time to consider it. Even now, he wasn't thinking about turning himself in or waiting for a court's verdict.

He hadn't even figured out his own identity yet—still using the ID card of the gangster he had killed in that warehouse.

What weighed on Yang Chu's mind more was the situation with that gangster. Why had they kidnapped him? What had he gotten himself involved in? Where were the two other gangsters who had escaped, and were there more forces behind them?

There was simply too little information to go on, and with only his own resources, there was no way to start digging.

"The only thing I can do right now is to strengthen myself as quickly as possible, to be ready for any crises that might come."

Yang Chu hadn't inherited any of the memories from this body—he didn't know the previous owner's social connections, nor did he know who might recognize him as "Wu Yuzai."

These were all uncertainties, and the only thing Yang Chu could focus on now was building his own strength to face any potential dangers.

That was the reason he went out tonight—to train himself as quickly as possible.

The night was deep when he stepped out of the elevator.

Yang Chu stood in an open area below the building, stretched his back, and began jogging along the cool, empty streets.

His destination was Tongzhou Street Park, not far from Yutou Xu's residential area. It was a place he had asked Yutou about earlier in the car.

The park had a basketball court, a seven-a-side football pitch, and a squash center, along with plenty of workout equipment like pull-up bars.

At almost midnight, Tongzhou Street was quiet, with only the occasional taxi or private car passing by.

It didn't take long for Yang Chu to reach the park.

His heart, which had already been beating faster during the jog, continued to race, and his breathing was quickened. Every system in his body was running at a heightened pace, responding to the physical exertion.

After finishing his run, Yang Chu didn't rest for long. He moved straight to pull-ups on the bars, followed by push-ups on the ground, sit-ups on the grass, frog jumps, squats, and sprints.

One exercise flowed into the next, with only brief pauses in between.

After the training session last night, Yang Chu had noticed significant changes in his body.
