Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

Lu Zhanbo was in this state at the moment. He wasn't sure if he could transform himself, but he wanted to give it a try.

For him, this pain was precisely the time for spiritual practice...

The next morning, Lu Zhanbo got up from the ground. Apart from himself, no one knew whether he had actually fallen asleep or not.

He changed into his sweat-inducing suit and prepared to continue his run.

In the final few days, he had to reduce the amount of water in his body to a minimum!

There were still four pounds left, but the closer it got to the end, the harder it became for him.

After running five kilometers with sheer willpower, Lu Zhanbo barely sweated.

Of course, this was just the beginning of his nightmare.

Next, he went to the gym and started shadowboxing training, working up a sweat even more.

After reaching a state of exhaustion, the coach will lift him into a pre-prepared bathtub and cool him down with ice water to relieve soreness.

At this time, Lu Zhanbo would also get a small piece of ice to moisten his parched throat.

After getting out of the bathtub, he was wrapped in a thick blanket to sweat it out.

Next, there was a 40-minute incline run on the treadmill.

Afterwards, Lu Zhanbo, looking like a walking corpse, stepped onto the weighing scale, where he was still 3.2 pounds short of his target weight.

There are still three days until the pre-competition weigh-in...

Losing a little over a pound a day sounds simple, but for Lu Zhanbo, who is practically a wrung-out towel, it's pure torture.

On the penultimate day, Lu Zhanbo did aerobic training to sweat it out, and then went to the sauna to use the high temperature to remove the little moisture left on his body.

At this point, he had begun to lose his senses and his mind was no longer active.

This method of dehydration and weight loss is quite dangerous, and many combat athletes choose to increase their weight to compete when they are older in their careers.

It's all to extend my career, because losing weight is extremely taxing on the body.

Even under this dual torment of mind and body, Lu Zhanbo still subconsciously wrapped the blanket around himself tightly.

In his dazed state, he noticed a blurry figure standing in front of him.

His eyesight was failing him, but he could still recognize that the person standing opposite him seemed to be his older sister.

"Zhanbo, it's ready."

"Stop practicing..."

"Or how about we practice tomorrow?"

Lu Zhanbo opened his mouth with difficulty and squeezed out a sound from his throat.

There is no tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow!

Hu Yifei was about to say something when Lin Yun placed his hand on her shoulder.

Hu Yifei looked up at Lin Yun, her eyes misty, whether from the steam in the sauna or... was it?

Lin Yun spoke up.

"We respect Zhanbo's choice."

"All we can do now is support him from behind."

After saying that, Lin Yun came to Lu Zhanbo and leaned down to speak.

"Zhanbo, since you believe there's no tomorrow, then you must give it your all now!"

Lu Zhanbo chuckled foolishly.

"I will prove myself with a victory!"

The last day!

Lu Zhanbo had reached the final stage of dehydration, and judging from his appearance alone, he looked like an old man on his deathbed.

The elderly people in the neighborhood have started spreading rumors that the young man from apartment 3502 has cancer and is so badly ravaged by chemotherapy that he's barely recognizable as a human.

This claim spread like wildfire throughout the apartment, with many people taking it as fact and specifically asking the residents about it.

But at this moment, everyone in the apartment had already focused their attention on Lu Zhanbo.

Especially his blonde, blue-eyed confidante, whose eyes have been red these past few days.

On the very last night, Lu Zhanbo finally reached the standard weight.

If he can hold on for just one more night, he will already be the true victor in this battle against weight loss!

People often say, "The last darkness before dawn."

Lu Zhanbo has gained a new understanding of this statement tonight.

His lips were cracked, and his whole body felt like it was on fire.

Lu Zhanbo wanted to distract himself to alleviate his pain.

But when he tried to think about something, he found that his head hurt even more.

A sensation similar to trigeminal neuralgia made Lu Zhanbo slowly let out a long breath.

Seeing that Lu Zhanbo reacted, Spider-Man and the three coaches immediately came over.

After a brief check and confirming that there were no problems, the four returned to the side.

Tonight, they will stay by Lu Zhanbo's side without leaving for a moment, and they have already prepared glucose, saline solution, and a series of recovery measures.

If Lu Zhanbo shows signs of physical collapse, the group will immediately begin to restore him.

Looking at Lu Zhanbo, who was tightly wrapped in tin foil, Spider-Man couldn't help but sigh.

One of the reasons he was able to remain undefeated in the middleweight division for many years before breaking his leg.

It's his incredible ability to lose weight!

He weighed 84 kilograms at the weigh-in, but when he entered the octagon for the competition...

Spider-Man can increase his weight to around 94 kilograms, which means he can quickly regain 10 kilograms of his weight!

Higher weight means greater dominance.

Even though he's gotten used to it, every time he successfully loses weight, he feels like he's escaped death.

Just then, the gym door was suddenly opened.

Lu Zhanbo has shown symptoms of intermittent hearing loss. His eyes have lost their sparkle, and even his eyeballs have become somewhat sunken.

When he saw a figure flash past in front of him, Lu Zhanbo stiffly turned his head.

I found myself surrounded by a group of people.

He couldn't see their faces clearly, but he could guess that it was his neighbors from the apartment who had come to keep him company.

The people in the apartment sat in a large circle, surrounding Lu Zhanbo in the middle.

Looking at Lu Zhanbo, who was practically turning into a mummy, Lu Ziqiao couldn't help but complain.

"Zhanbo, I, Lü Xiaobu, am impressed by you this time."

"You're really tough."

Zhang Wei also sighed.

"A perfectly healthy person has been reduced to the size of a mummy."

Hu Yifei turned her head and said fiercely.

"Can't you speak properly!"

"A mummy is a dead person!"

Qin Yumo hurriedly stopped Hu Yifei.

"Yifei, don't get agitated."

"Don't forget, we're coming tonight."

"Weren't we supposed to pray for Zhanbo's well-being?"

Hu Yifei suddenly realized.

"That's right!"

"Hurry up and take everything out!"

A moment later, the gym was illuminated by candlelight.

Lin Yun looked at the white candle in his hands and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"Who was the genius who invented this method of blessing?"

Not only was Lin Yun acting strangely, but the coaching team sitting to the side also began to whisper among themselves.

What are they doing?

"I heard it's like they're praying for blessings?"

"Holding white candles in a circle, are they praying for blessings? I thought they were performing a ritual."

At this moment, Lu Zhanbo was in a daze and didn't know what had happened. Otherwise, he would have sat up and complained about it.

Not long after, the gym door was opened again.

Zeng Xiaoxian said apologetically as he walked inside.

"Excuse me!"

"I signed two more reports after get off work today, so I got home late..."

The next moment, Zeng Xiaoxian saw the crowd holding white candles, and Lu Zhanbo lying on the ground.
