The Strongest Gym Owner: From the Start, I Unlock a Power-Up Every Time Someone Challenges My Gym

He takes over a struggling martial arts school, and from the start unlocks a bizarre System that only lets him grow stronger when people challenge the school.

With no other choice, Chen Yang starts a livestream and provokes people online.

A soft sword piercing bamboo? Just a trick to fool people. I could do that too.

Splitting five bricks with your bare hand? Fake. Those have to be specially made bricks.

Walking on water on a straw mat? It's just using the water's surface tension. If I run fast enough, there's no way I'll sink.

So challengers keep showing up at his school, one after another.

But the online challengers who come to test him are left dumbfounded by what happens next.

They watch as Chen Yang pierces bamboo with a sheet of paper, smashes a brick reinforced with a steel plate with one punch, and crosses a great river on a single reed.

Turns out I'm the real clown here. Master, take me as your disciple!
