Chapter 155: Jerry's Astonishment
Jerry Blaze requested that Arnold should train with him in the gym in preparation, and he had no choice but to accept. Although he knew that it was normal for a wrestler to train with his tag partner, Arnold knew that Jerry was hellbent on doing so simply because he wanted to see how he did his training and how passionate he could be in the process.
After that leaked video that trended on the internet, he already knew that people would be delighted to see him do that again, or at least watch him train and practice with such passion.
He had a fixed time for working out with Jerry Blaze after their agreement, and it was mostly in the morning. They decided not to stress up at night, but there was a heavy training session every morning.
Two mornings before the show, they both went to the gym to workout just as the day was clear enough.
Arnold began with treadmills as usual, but Jerry Blaze faced the weights at first.
After making his first race, he stood for a moment, dropped it, and then sighed.
Then after sighing, he raised his head to Arnold.
"We should be tag team partners, you know?" He said.
Arnold quickly shuddered for a second and then continued running on the treadmill without uttering a word.
"Honestly, it's gonna be the greatest tag team alliance in the entire professional wrestling history," Jerry Blaze said with a confident smile.
Then, he raised both in mid-air as if picturing something. "Max Fury and Jerry Blaze, c'mon! It's going to be great!" He added.
This one made Arnold stop running on the treadmill and step down. With a blank look on his face, he had to speak.
"I know, it's gonna be iconic. But, I don't think I can make a tag team partner at this stage of my career. My dream is to be single for a long period. And even though I'd make a tag team, that would be after I achieve all my dreams as a professional wrestler," Arnold explained.
Jerry Blaze had no disappointed reaction on his face at that moment. He only nodded with a smile as if he understood Arnold's ambition.
And truly, he understood!
He truly saw Arnold as a professional wrestler with great potential, the fact that he had defeated him made it clear. Not just that, he had also defeated other powerful wrestlers than him, gaining entry into the top show in a matter of months when countless Grindhouse wrestlers who had been in the show for over three years were still there.
It was unbelievable, but it was believable at the same time.
Why wouldn't they believe it when it was happening right in their eyes?
"I understand you, man. I also have that ambition, but who wouldn't love to be your tag team partner under any circumstances? It's more like winning a lottery, to be honest," Jerry Blaze said with an idolizing smile and then went back to carrying the weights.
"Don't you wanna switch?" Jerry asked as he walked back to the weightlifting area.
"Sure," Arnold responded.
At that moment, he stepped down from the treadmill and approached the weights. They both lifted 30KG weights at the same time, setting a game of who would drop first.
It was a test of Strength and Endurance, but it was unfortunate that Arnold was better.
Jerry Blaze managed to hold on for about a minute... That was really impressive!
But nah, Arnold's endurance was stunning!
He held on for over three minutes without breaking a sweat, causing Jerry's mouth agape. Although he knew that Max Fury was strong, but not to this level. Carrying a weight for over three minutes was more than natural...
It was pretty frightening!
But yeah, Max Fury was able to do it and still didn't break a sweat. It only appeared like he was used to such stuff like he usually did this every single day.
And that was true.
When he finally dropped the weight, he turned to Jerry who was still standing with widened eyes.
"What?" The shocked stares were hitting him hard, causing him to ask.
However, Jerry Blaze only shook himself off the astonishment and stared down.
"Nothing... That's... That's just superb. I wish I could hold on to that one day," he said.
"Sure, everything is possible. It only takes hard work and determination," Arnold spoke with a casual smile.
'Hard work and determination my ass!!! How can you do that in over three minutes at this age?! You are just 24 for fucking sake!!!'
Jerry Blaze questioned in his thoughts, not wanting Arnold to hear even a hint of that. It had gotten to a stage when he wouldn't believe that Max Fury was achieving all these alone.
'No, that can't be!'
'There had to be something!'
'Maybe a genetic power or something!'
Jerry Blaze tried to think wide, but there was nothing that could convince his mind. No matter how he tried, it only ended up that Max Fury's physical strength was natural.
His strength, agility, endurance, attack power, intelligence, wrestling skills, and moves... All these appeared to be a bit unnatural, but they still appeared natural at the same time, almost making him go crazy.
The more he tried to convince himself, the more he felt his head burning in confusion. And at a point, he decided to stop.
"I accept it... It's none of my business after all..."
Jerry Blaze finally accepted defeated after feeling his brain vibrating uncontrollably.

When they were done working out, they decided to visit the training ring. They had been in the gym house for almost four hours, and due to the schedules, they decided to visit the training ring as well.
While they walked, Jerry Blaze suddenly jerked up his shoulders and spoke.
"Ahh, I just got a new finishing move. I'd like you to see it and tell me what you think about it."
Arnold quickly nodded and replied.
"No probs. I'd also like you to test it on me... With that, I can know if it's better than the Stunner."
Jerry Blaze flinched immediately as he heard that.
This was the least of what he expected as a reply... But it truly wasn't a bad idea.
