A moment later, Meilan emerged from an office room, followed by a long haired and tall woman. She looked very fit and muscular. Ye Shen's eyes soon fixated onto the woman's right arm which was replaced by a robotic arm from shoulder to fingers.
She was wearing a white top crop shirt with a tight, black sport bra underneath. Her abs were well defined yet still had feminine allure, as if being chiseled by the goddess herself. Her long legs which wrapped in tight sport leggings attracted the male gym members as she strode out of her office. Everybody gawked at her firm, jiggle cakes.
Though she's around thirty years old, the age didn't decrease her beauty. In fact, her fully matured appearance was in Ye Shen's strike zone. Her skin was fair white. A little mole under her right eye perfected her overall appearance.
However, instead of oogling at the woman's sizable bosoms, Ye Shen was so intrigued by the robotic arm. 'How the fake arm attached to her shoulder and moved so freely just like the real one?'
"Ye Shen! This is Miss Bai Ning, my boss! Miss Bai Ning, this is Ye Shen, my grandpa's patient and also my new f-friend."
"A new friend, huh?" Bai Ning glanced at Meilan, smiling impishly. "Even though he lived under the same roof as you?"
"We are not like that, I swear!" Meilan quipped, pouting her cheeks. "Ye Shen lost his core memory. Therefore, he would stay with us until he fully recovered."
"Well, it's not my business though." Bai Ning chuckled. She turned to Ye Shen. "Anyway, Meilan said that you are interested in joining our MMA Training Course, yes?"
"Joining the training course? Mmm, I'm not so sure." Ye Shen shook his head. "But, yes, I'm interested in MMA. But, I have no money to join the Training Course tho."
Bai Ning nodded. "Fret not, Ye Shen. If you can win a fight or two in official fights, I'd be your sponsor on behalf of this gym. As of now, you may use every tool, spare gloves, and even the octagon for free. Have you fought before?"
Ye Shen blinked a couple of times, recalling the brutal fights that he had done in the past.
"Yes, a few times."
"Aight, cool. Now, get change. There's fresh trunks and gloves that you can use in the locker."
Afterward, Ye Shen headed to the locker room and returned to the main hall with a black and white trunk and black gloves on his hand. His topless torso amazed both Meilan and Bai Ning as well as the other female gym members.
Even the guys paused a moment by the time they saw Ye Shen's ripped body.
Bai Ning was in a daze for a moment, glancing at Meilan. She tugged the slender girl a bit further away, and whispered in Meilan's ears. "Where did you find this man again?"
"I don't know! My grandpa just told me that we have a severely injured patient. I don't know anything about him!"
Bai Ning couldn't help but to shake her head. She then returned to him.
"Well, since you were so eager, let's get you into the octagon right away." Bai Ning turned to the fighter who just finished his sparring session. "Zhang Quan, how about one more round with this new guy. He's roughly the same weight as you."
The fighter in red trunks turned his head. After plucking out his mouth guard, he then spoke confidently while punching his palm.
"Yeah, sure! Warm him up first, and bring him up here."
After Bai Ning explained the basic rules of fighting in MMA, Ye Shen climbed to the cage without prior warming up. Zhang Quan felt the different aura from Ye Shen by the time he stepped onto the canvas.
To ensure Ye Shen wouldn't get hurt, Bai Ning volunteered herself as the referee for this sparring. She felt Ye Shen's ominous presence as well. Fighters usually have a sharp, and deadly aura around them. But for Ye Shen, it was something entirely different. It's an aura of someone who had killed somebody.
Bai Ning stood between them. After nodding to both of them, Bai Ning stepled back.
"Fight!"
Notwithstanding, his fear, Zhang Quan raise his arms, a standard guard stance. On the other hand, Ye Shen only reach out right arm while standing in a poised stance with left arm rested on his back.
Zhang Quan found it very odd, never in his career he met with someone who used that provocative stance which only seen in a movie.
"Hmph! Do you really think that movie-esque stance would work in real life MMA?! How naive!"
"You're welcome to try…" Ye Shen smirked from ear to ear.
Agitated by his taunt, Zhang Quan charged upfront, entering Ye Shen's space in just one fast step. However, the long haired man was so agile. The next he knew, Ye Shen was already stepped aside, a fist coming at him from the side. As Zhang Quan put up a guard, the fist didn't come. Instead, he felt a devastating body kick onto his abdomen. Luckily, he was wearing protective gear, the impact was absorbed and didn't pose any significant damage to his internal organs.
However, the sharp, stinging pain was still lingering on his skin.
'What the fuck did he do! How could he be so fast?!'
"What's wrong?" Ye Shen shrugged.
"Hmph! I'm just getting serious now! Prepare yourself!"
The color of Zhang Quan's eyes shifted from dark brown to bright blue. His movements became very sharp, each strike was aimed to knock the opponent.
Unfortunately for him, Ye Shen was just too agile and fast to begin with.
This made Zhang Quan even more frustrated. 'There is no way a normal human like him without body augmentation could move this fast! Even my B Ranked Striker System couldn't keep up with him!'
After a barrage of straight jabs and hooks, one stray punch grazed Ye Shen's cheek, making it bleed. But, it was a calculated move to give Zhang Quan a sense of victory which could hinder his concentration.
"Hah! I got you now!"
"No you are not!"
Thwack!
One deadly blow of an uppercut punch landed right below Zhang Quan's chin. The latter was flying a few feet above the ground before he landed on the canvas—unconcious.
