The Character I Loved Is Gone

"Karl, stop watching those boring news. In a few days, it will be the day you are going to play. We have to hurry up now, and you can follow me and do these tests."

Van Markal turned off his quantum phone and followed the doctor out of the hotel.

On the street, the passers-by all cast strange glances at Karl.

Height of 228 centimeters and weight of 210 kilograms.

The muscles all over his body are tight.

"These people from the Red Country are really rare and strange. They all seem to have never seen anyone like you before. They keep looking towards us."

"Perhaps I am an alien to begin with, Dr. K."

The doctor stopped, stretched out a hand, and said seriously:

"Karl, you are not an alien, you are just at the forefront of human evolution. It is just incomprehensible to these ordinary people. Your existence is like a giant suddenly appearing at the crossroads. These people do not know your temper. Due to your nature, I will naturally have many misunderstandings about you..."

The doctor patted Carl's strong forearm and smiled.

"When the world is ready; when you have achieved results and are able to silence the mouths of those clowns, I believe that you will be able to win the respect of these mortals. Now, let us focus on work and stop thinking about other things. matter."

The two ended their short conversation and continued to move towards their goal.

Half an hour later, Carl and the doctor arrived at an experimental building.

The doctor followed the procedure and applied for access codes for himself and Carl.

Today, Dr. K will be here to test the fruit of his life's efforts - Van Markal.

Dr. K brought a professional speed detector with Carl to the standard playground behind the experimental building.

The doctor set up the instrument and nodded to Karl.

"Okay, Karl, get ready for 100 meters!"

Karl bent down, put his hands on the ground, and squatted.

Even though there was no starting block on this playground, Karl still adopted this posture.

"start!"

call--

A strong wind blew by,

Carl has reached the end.

Looking at the numbers displayed on the screen, the doctor beamed.

"Eight seconds seventy-seven, you broke your own record again, Carl!"

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Karl didn't feel much at all.

"Did you use all your strength?"

the doctor asked excitedly.

"I tried my best, but there is no starting block here, so I'm still a little bit unaccustomed to it."

"Come on, let's go indoors and test your strength."

Force measuring room——

The staff helped Carl fill up all the barbell plates on both sides of the bench press barbell.

The barbell rack began to deform due to the heavy iron block.

"Are you sure you want to use such a heavy weight?"

the staff asked tentatively.

"No problem, this is just a piece of cake for Carl, right Carl."

Karl touched the barbell plates and smiled lightly.

"Let's warm up first."

To the shock of the staff, Carl lay down on the bench press.

Huchi——

Huchi——

Huchi——

…

The weight of one thousand four hundred pounds, in Karl's hands, was as light as a weight.

"This...this is 1,400 pounds, weighing a full 635 kilograms. You...you actually..."

The staff member was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Humph, frog in the well, Carl, are you done with the warm-up?"

After lifting fourteen hundred pounds twenty-four times in a row, Carl took a moment to catch his breath.

"Okay, doctor."

Bang——

Bang——

Bang——

…

Because the bench press bar could no longer bear such a huge weight, the staff had to put a squat bar used to connect the legs to the bench press rack and then install the barbell plates.

Looking at the bent squat bar, the staff member couldn't help but swallow.

"This...this is two thousand two hundred and five pounds, which weighs a ton. Do you really want to use this for bench press?"

Looking at this weight, the doctor couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Otherwise, it's better to reduce your weight, Karl. If you get injured, the rest of the game..."

"No! Doctor! If I can't surpass myself in every test, then what's the point of my usual training and the medicines I take!"

"But the weight is too..."

"I demand continued testing!"

Listening to Van Markal's roar, the doctor took a deep breath.

"Okay, you can start."

Karl was lying on the bench press rack, his hands covered with talc powder firmly locking the thick squat bar.

His breathing began to quicken, and each breath was like inhaling hot fire, burning his lungs.

His hands gripped the bar so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

His eyes seemed to protrude from their sockets, staring at the heavy iron block as if to tear it into pieces.

His body was pressed against the bench, like a captured beast, struggling desperately. His feet kept tapping on the floor, as if he was pouring all his strength into his feet so that he could push the heavy iron block with all his strength at the next moment.

The muscles in his back were like stretched strings, so tight that they were about to break. The muscles in his shoulders and arms were as hard as stone, and each contraction was accompanied by a sharp pain. His abdominal muscles were also contracting violently, as if he was trying to concentrate all his strength on one point so that he could push up the heavy iron block.

His heartbeat was as fierce as a drum, and every beat seemed to jump out of his chest. His blood was like heated oil, boiling and rushing through his body.

Suddenly, he pushed the barbell up with all his strength. This process seems to have gone through a long time, and it seems to be just a moment. The moment he successfully pushed the barbell up, he felt an unprecedented sense of joy and accomplishment.

"You did it! Carl! You did it!"

The doctor was like a child who saw that he got perfect marks in the exam, dancing excitedly.

Carl sat up and closed his eyes.

The bench press just now consumed so much of his energy that his brain suffered a brief lack of oxygen.

"Yes, I did, Doctor."

Next, Dr. K conducted a series of tests on Carl.

Every item of the test surpassed the previous one.

After getting the latest test data, the doctor was both happy and scared.

The test results are so excellent, so we are naturally happy.

But this also means that the drugs Carl takes require a larger dose.

In the hall, Karl sat on a chair and watched the huge quantum projection reporting the news.

A piece of news about tomorrow's Quantum Beast Competition caught his attention.
