Chapter 29

The next day…

Hayley’s elbows dug into the floor, legs together toes pressing down. Her abs were tight, her muscles taut. Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead in a steady rhythm.

She had been holding this plank for almost an hour.

Her whole body was soaked, as if she had been dunked in water, sweat pouring down everywhere.

In just ten days, eating three big plates of food daily, Hayley had leaned out—not by losing weight, but in her body shape.

She had slimmed from head to toe. Her muscle lines were tight and clear, and her body fat had dropped drastically. Her abs were showing; all the loose, soft muscles were gone, replaced with explosive power ready to burst at any second.

Her mental state had changed just as much.

Keeping herself in constant motion kept her energy high.

Hayley had always been a wild, reckless type. Her sharp, bright eyes now stood in stark contrast to the frightened, wilted ordinary people outside.

Just her gaze alone could dominate a group.

She was a predator. They were sheep.

Clenching her teeth, she pushed through the last seconds on the mat.

Every muscle felt like a thousand pounds. Every movement burned as sweat fell like rain from her forehead. It hurt so much that her muscles trembled from the pain.

But she couldn’t quit. She had to hold on!

Every second she lasted was another breakthrough. More importantly, her reward time was about to end.

Just as her jaw went numb and her body screamed exhaustion, a familiar voice echoed in her mind.

Ding! [Body enhancement time up!]

Hayley collapsed onto her yoga mat, gasping.

It was over. She could finally take a break. Her entire body felt frozen-she couldn’t move a single finger.

But the pain came with a reward.

Hayley almost couldn’t believe it.

The rewards hit immediately, making her body buzz with energy. The exhaustion she had felt just moments ago vanished, replaced by raw, endless strength.

She leapt to her feet and realized her agility had skyrocketed. Stepping outside, she eyed her precious armored vehicle and felt the sudden urge to lift it.

And… Lift it she did.

Feet planted firmly to the ground, she gripped the frame, pushed hard, and managed to lift one corner of the 8×8 state-of-the-art armored vehicle an inch off the ground.

An inch might seem small, but this vehicle weighed over 20 tons.
