Chapter 151: Chapter 152: Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy【Add More 2】

The female trainee passed the towel and looked across at Barbara with a smirk, "Miss Barbara, you lost!"

To lose to Gan Yuan like that, Barbara was anything but content.

"Hmph!" Barbara pursed her lips, "A standard pull-up includes holding the position for several seconds after reaching the top, which she utterly failed to do, so this doesn’t count as a loss for me!"

"You... shameless!" the female trainee cursed angrily.

"If you dare, challenge me again!" Barbara said provocatively.

"How can you be like this!" the female trainee exclaimed furiously, "You’re not keeping your word."

"Exactly!"

"Barbara, this is no fun at all!"

...

The onlookers chimed in agreement.

Barbara, always seen as a sunny figure online, was actually such a person, which inevitably led to a great disappointment among her fans.

Behind the female trainee, a cunning look flickered in Gan Yuan’s eyes, DELIBERATELY feigning weakness to lure her opponent into the trap.

In playing mind games, Barbara was still far behind!

With a wave of her hand, she pushed past the female trainee and stepped forward, pretending to gasp for breath, "This time, I’ll choose the event."

Barbara originally feared that she wouldn’t dare to compete, but to her surprise, Gan Yuan even took the initiative to speak, and she immediately agreed.

"Fine. Whatever you choose is okay by me!"

Gan Yuan looked around the circle.

"Bench press!"

Barbara laughed inwardly.

In her view, Gan Yuan’s strength lay in her slender frame and agility; she managed the pull-ups not because of arm strength but because of her lightweight. Bench pressing required absolute muscular strength, and it wasn’t something that could be accomplished by trickery.

Barbara always prided herself on her muscular strength and was naturally willing to compete in this with her.

"Alright, let’s get started."

She accepted without a second thought, and of course, she played a little trick herself.

Having already completed and rested for a while, she had enough time to recover some strength, whereas Gan Yuan had just finished and hadn’t even caught her breath, so the quicker they started, the more advantageous it would be for Barbara.

"This time we’ll keep it simple, one round to determine the winner, whoever can bench press the heaviest weight wins," Gan Yuan gasped again and shook her palms, "You’ve already rested for a while, so this round, you go first!"

Though somewhat reluctant, Barbara had nothing to say.

"If I go first, then I go first!"

The crowd then moved to the side of the bench press machine as Barbara approached the bench press, looking at the barbell on it. She adjusted it to 40 kilograms, thought for a moment, then added another 5 kilograms.

She was taking the lead, and being too conservative would only provide opportunities for her opponent. Her best chance to turn the tables was to overwhelm her rival in one go.

After all, Gan Yuan had outperformed her by one pull-up earlier, and this time, Barbara was determined not to lose, even if it cost her life.

"45?" Annie whispered cautiously, "Are you sure? Be careful not to hurt yourself!"

"No problem."

Barbara glanced at Gan Yuan, lay down sideways on the bench press, grabbed the barbell with both hands, took a deep breath, and lifted it with all her might.

The 45-kilogram barbell slowly rose, and just as her arms were about to fully extend, her right shoulder suddenly wavered, and amidst the gasps of the crowd, the barbell slipped from her hands.

Bang!

A dull thud resonated as the barbell crashed heavily to the ground at an angle, and a tearing pain seared through Barbara’s right shoulder, bringing out a cold sweat.

"Barbara!"

"Miss Barbara, are you alright?"

Annie and a few fans rushed over in alarm, but Gan Yuan beat them to the scene.
