The team leader believed that Chen Haoxuan's training methods were very cruel, but he had to admit they were effective. Jiang Dong and his team's strength had grown rapidly, so they also allowed Shen Ruyan and her group to train alongside Jiang Dong.
Unknowingly, six months passed. Six months later, New City had completely transformed and had become the second most prosperous city in China. This was due to the presence of the All-Purpose Phone collective, Hua Group, and Zhou Group—three of the largest enterprises in China, with millions of employees among them.
Most people were now using the All-Purpose Phone, whether they were Chinese or foreigners; anyone who could afford a phone would buy an All-Purpose Phone. The All-Purpose Phone had been in production for over a year but still could not meet the enormous market demand. This led to the factory producing the All-Purpose Phone operating on two shifts instead of three, as a three-shift system would mean employees would have no overtime pay, resulting in lower wages. To allow employees to earn more money, they opted for two shifts, producing continuously for twenty-four hours.
The factory producing the All-Purpose Phone had been expanding continuously since its inception, building new plants one after another, and it had become the largest enterprise in China. However, it still lagged behind some foreign giants.
With Chen Haoxuan's help, both Hua Group and Zhou Group were developing increasingly well. If they needed money, Chen Haoxuan provided it; if they needed technology, he supplied that too. If there were any permits that couldn't be obtained, Chen Haoxuan handled it. If they still couldn't manage their business well after receiving so much help from him, it would only prove they were foolish.
Jiang Dong and his team had become formidable; their strength was now dozens of times greater than before. Although they still couldn't defeat Strongman and his group, in a fair one-on-one match, they would find no opponents in the 21st century.
Fortunately, the team leader had good foresight by allowing Strongman and his group to train with Jiang Dong; otherwise, Strongman would certainly not be a match for them now.
Chen Haoxuan looked worn out; he hadn't rested properly for the past six months and was working every day. Shen Ruyan felt heartbroken seeing Chen Haoxuan work so hard.
Most of what Chen Haoxuan had developed over these six months was focused on physical training. Jiang Dong and his team believed their strength was already considerable and that they didn't need various drugs anymore; all they needed was more training to reach their peak. Seeing Chen Haoxuan working tirelessly for them made them reluctant to let him continue like this, so they urged him several times to take a break, but he never listened.
It was normal for Jiang Dong and his team to be ignorant because they were people of the 21st century. However, Chen Haoxuan was different; he was from the Future Century. The reason he was so strong was that he constantly used various methods to change his physique. He began altering his body through research on human anatomy and spent over twenty years achieving his strongest state.
Jiang Dong's team had only been training for six months; it would be impossible for them to reach Chen Haoxuan's previous level of strength in less than ten years. If they did manage to do it faster, it would be because he already knew how to produce those drugs and machines, significantly shortening the time required. Chen Haoxuan wanted Jiang Dong's team to become even stronger, so he did not agree to their requests. He continued researching various things and issued strict orders requiring them to complete tasks assigned by him daily or face expulsion.
One day, Chen Haoxuan walked out of the research institute. Aside from Shen Ruyan and her group, no one else could recognize him; even Chen Yina and her group wouldn't have been able to identify him. This was because Chen Haoxuan's hair had grown long, and his beard was quite outrageous—over twenty centimeters long—longer than even Elder Dongfang's beard.
They saw Chen Haoxuan coming out and immediately stopped their training, rushing over to him, happily shouting, "Boss." Their eyes were a bit red, unable to bear seeing Chen Haoxuan pushing himself so hard.
"Chen Haoxuan, you finally came out. I thought you really went crazy and planned to hide in that cave for the rest of your life," Shen Ruyan complained to Chen Haoxuan.
"Boss, you don't have any pressure right now; there's no need to work so hard. Your health is important!" Jiang Dong said with concern.
Hearing their worries, Chen Haoxuan laughed heartily, "In the 21st century, no one has a body stronger than mine." The reason Chen Haoxuan was working so hard was that the version of him from Future Century had returned. When he researched something, he would forget to eat and sleep; that was the real him.
Strongman walked up to Chen Haoxuan, looking at him with disdainful eyes and boasting, "Do you have a body stronger than mine?"
"How about we have a competition?" Chen Haoxuan said with a smile. He knew that Jiang Dong and the others were no longer training as hard as before because they felt strong enough. So, Chen Haoxuan wanted to give them a harsh reminder that in front of true experts, they were still like ants.
"What are we competing in?" Strongman confidently asked Chen Haoxuan. He had never seen anyone stronger than him in his life, and this confidence was almost innate.
"I want to compete not only in strength but also in martial arts," Chen Haoxuan replied.
"Bring it on," Strongman said as he took a defensive stance.
Jiang Dong and the others wisely cleared a space for them.
"Be careful!" Chen Haoxuan chuckled and stepped forward. As soon as his foot landed, he was already in front of Strongman.
"Wow... what just happened? He was ten meters away from Strongman just now; he only took one step and appeared right in front of him! What is going on?" Jiang Dong and the others exclaimed in surprise.
"I didn't see how Chen Haoxuan appeared in front of Strongman, but I guess he ran to Strongman as fast as he could; his speed was so quick that we couldn't see him," Shen Ruyan speculated.
Strongman was startled when he saw Chen Haoxuan suddenly appear before him. However, he quickly regained his composure and shouted, his hands clawed, attempting to grab Chen Haoxuan's shoulder. He knew better than anyone the strength he possessed; once he caught someone, there was no escape.
Chen Haoxuan's response was half a beat slower than Strongman's, but his speed was several times faster. Before Strongman could grasp his shoulder, Chen Haoxuan had already seized Strongman's wrists with both hands. "Go ahead and use all your strength!" Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan holding onto his hands, Strongman became furious. He exerted all his might in an attempt to break free from Chen Haoxuan's grip.
