Chapter 116 Brewing (Thanks to the leader of 'Baili Tongyun')
In the live broadcast room, Le Jingchen was explaining the rules and procedures of the Sky Pillar level to the audience.
"For the Sky Pillar stage, the specific process is... In the first round, the contestants each report their target weight, and then take turns to go on stage and hold up the Sky Pillar."
"There will be three rounds of competition in total, and in the end each contestant will be scored according to the best score in the three rounds."
"It is important to note that... in the process of reporting target weights in each round, the contestants have no way of knowing what weights other contestants have reported."
"That is to say, before each round, in addition to the weight you have to hold up, you will also know how much weight other contestants have to hold up in this round. Whether it is higher or lower than you, you will only know it after the contestants go on stage one by one in this round."
Gangshan asked, "It seems that a very important point in this level is to judge your own limit of strength."
Gangshan said slowly: "If you misjudge your own limit strength, if you misjudge it, you will get a low score, but if you misjudge it too much, you will not be able to hold it up at all, which means you will fail in the round, wasting an opportunity to hold up the Sky Pillar, and you may even get injured."
Le Jingchen nodded and agreed, "That's right. According to my estimation, all contestants in the first round will report a relatively simple weight to adapt and warm up. While conserving their energy, they can also judge how heavy the sky pillar they can hold up at most."
"In the second round, I will strive to achieve a strength close to my own limit as a minimum score."
"Only in the third round will I give it my all and push myself to my limits."
…
In the rest area of Songyang High School.
Wang Hai, He Dayou and others were watching Gangshan’s live broadcast while watching the game on site.
As for why I watched Gangshan’s live broadcast, it was because of Wang Hai’s recommendation.
Wang Hai said: If you must watch a body training anchor, you can watch Gangshan. He has rich experience in body training and does not sell medicine or skills. He is a rare conscientious anchor.
After watching it, everyone found that Gangshan and Le Jingchen’s explanation of the physical competition was very thorough, so they have been watching it until now.
Qian Shen was listening at the side, and nodded and said, "I see. Although this level is a competition, it is actually a challenge to yourself."
He Dayou asked: "Teacher Wang, how heavy do you think Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen can lift the sky pillar?"
Wang Hai said calmly: "At least 6,000 or 7,000 kilograms should be no problem. If it's higher... I can't judge."
Wang Hai looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen who were queuing up to report their target weights in the arena, then looked at the sky pillar in the sky, thinking to himself: "In addition to the exertion of strength in this final level, the most important thing is the insight and judgment of one's own limit strength."
"People who have reached a high enough level of physical training not only have great strength and speed, but also have a deep understanding and insight into their own physical condition."
"You only have three chances. Do you choose a result that is close to your strength limit, or try to challenge a result that exceeds your strength limit?"
"What would you choose?"
When the people around heard the number of 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms, they all took a deep breath and sighed.
Zhao Tianxing didn't say anything, because he felt that if he, the weakest person present, sighed or even exclaimed, he would look like a clown.
"Alas, as long as a person is weak and poor, everything he says, does, and does will become ridiculous in the eyes of the strong."
"And weakness and poverty are just a foil."
He looked at Qian Shen and He Dayou standing aside, thinking to himself: "Even if I'm as rich as Qian Shen, I can't be as strong as Dayou... After coming to this arena, I seem weak and poor in comparison with these players."
"No matter how arrogant they were in the past or how prominent they were in school, their behavior now becomes funny and clownish when compared with these powerful people on the stage."
This is the law Zhao Tianxing summed up after extensive self-observation. He calls it the Weak Poor Clown Theory.
“A strong or rich person, once in front of a group of stronger and richer people, becomes poor or weak, then becomes funny, and finally becomes a clown.”
Zhao Tianxing sighed in his heart: "There is nothing I can do. This is an era where scores are king, immortality is respected, and money can make anything possible."
…
After all contestants reported their target weights for the first round, the competition officially began.
The contestants will take the stage one by one in order from low to high target weight.
The first person to take the stage was a man from Ziyun.
He was seen walking slowly onto the stage with his whole body turning purple, and the words "2000 kilograms" appeared on the column of the sky column.
Looking up at the slowly falling sky pillar, the Purple Cloud man shouted softly, stretched out his palms toward the sky, and slammed hard into the bottom of the sky pillar.
With a loud bang, the sky column that was originally falling slowly was suddenly stopped.
As 5 seconds passed, the words "2000 kg" on the sky column disappeared, and the column slowly rose and retracted.
The Ziyun man who was on the stage breathed a sigh of relief and walked off the stage.
Next, the contestants took the stage one by one, each carrying the weight of the report.
The numbers on the sky column kept getting higher and higher, from 2,000 kilograms to 2,500 kilograms, and then to 3,000 kilograms...
When Chu Qiuhe came on stage, he was already holding up a 3,500-kilogram sky column.
With a shout, he easily stopped the 3,500-kilogram sky pillar, then propped himself up slightly, feeling the pressure from the sky pillar.
He secretly estimated in his mind: "With my strength level, it should be no problem for me to support up to 6,500 kilograms, right? Should I push higher? Push my limit..."
…
In the live broadcast room on the other side, Gangshan and Le Jingchen watched the students go on stage one by one.
Gangshan smiled and said, "Sure enough, everyone is warming up in the first round and adapting to the power of the Sky Pillar."
Le Jingchen said: "How much physical strength can be exerted, how much weight the sky pillar can ultimately support, and the strength limit of the human body, as well as the athlete's own condition on the day, are all closely related."
"But for contestants with strong insight into their own bodies, they can basically accurately judge their own limits in this round and know how many sky pillars they can hold up."
As both sides were commenting on the game, the numbers on the sky column kept changing, but generally speaking they were from two to three thousand kilograms to three to four thousand kilograms.
Obviously, no one exerted their full strength in this round. All the contestants were adapting to the sky pillar, conserving their energy, and silently judging how heavy the sky pillar their bodies could lift.
But even a sky column weighing three or four thousand kilograms still stunned many students present.
…
Zhang Yu walked up to the platform and slowly came to the bottom of the sky pillar.
He didn't feel it when he was in the audience, but now, standing in the center position under the sky pillar and looking up... he felt as if the entire sky was blocked.
Especially as the sky column slowly descended, it seemed as if the entire sky was sinking, bringing an incomparable sense of oppression to the people below.
Zhang Yu reached out his hand towards the bottom of the Sky Pillar, feeling the weight from top to bottom, and thought to himself, "Is this what a 3,600-kilogram Sky Pillar feels like?"
Feeling the weight of the Sky Pillar, understanding the condition of his own body, and the support of every muscle all over his body... Zhang Yu gradually came to an estimate of how heavy the Sky Pillar was that he could lift.
As Zhang Yu stepped down from the stage, he looked at Bai Zhenzhen who was about to go on stage and nodded.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
When Bai Zhenzhen stood under the Sky Pillar, feeling the power coming from above, she couldn't help but think, "Sure enough, watching from below and actually holding it up on the stage are completely different feelings..."
…
In the live broadcast room, Gangshan said: "Jingchen, who do you think will win the Sky Pillar level?"
Le Jingchen said, "The muscles of the demon students are much larger than those of other contestants, so even if their physical strength is similar, their strength performance is often stronger."
"This greater strength brought by more muscle mass is a burden in the agility and speed tests of the first two levels, because the extra size and weight are a burden, but it becomes an advantage in this level."
"Among the demon students, Xiong Wenwu has the highest weight and the highest physical strength."
"And if Xiong Wenwu represents the strongest power, then Yu Xinghan represents the combination of strength and skills. He can dig deeper into the power of the body and burst out stronger power with less flesh."
"The final champion of this level of Sky Pillar should fall to Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan."
…
While Le Jingchen and Gangshan were talking, the second round of the Sky Pillar had already begun.
As the two had explained before, the contestants all chose a strength close to their limits, striving to get a guaranteed score in this level.
As one contestant after another took the stage, the numbers on the sky column continued to rise, and each student performed much more heavily in this round than in the previous round.
And shortly after Lian Tianji had just propped up the 6,000-kilogram sky pillar.
Chu Qiuhe failed when challenging the 6,800-kilogram sky column.
He roared, holding the bottom of the Sky Pillar tightly with both hands, but his body kept shaking under the pressure of 6,800 kilograms. He was unable to stop the fall of the Sky Pillar at all, and finally could only grit his teeth and retreat to the stage.
Gangshan in the live broadcast room said: "Alas, this is overestimating your own level."
Le Jingchen said: "The flaw of imitating demon muscles is that it is easy to reduce one's control over the body and make inaccurate judgments. If ordinary people want to gain powerful physical strength, the best way is to use drugs..."
"As for the muscles of the demon descendants, they are naturally gifted. Yu Xinghan's physique and control require the careful training of a Jindan Zhenren. These are not conditions that ordinary people can have..."
Obviously, in the Sky Pillar level, Le Jingchen intended to label Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan, who were competing for the championship, as descendants of demons and golden elixir disciples, in order to highlight the higher popularity and importance of medication and super metabolic surgery to ordinary people.
Just when Le Jingchen began to promote Ziyun Pharmaceutical’s new technology again.
Finally, it was Bai Zhenzhen's turn to go on stage for the second time.
With a burst of strength from her body, she was able to prop up the 7,000-kilogram sky pillar.
Feeling the state of his body, especially the throbbing of the scars, Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself: "I'll try 8,000 kilograms next time. That should be the limit."
After Bai Zhenzhen finished, it was Zhang Yu's turn to go on stage.
After he propped up the 7,000-kilogram sky column, he walked off the stage with an expressionless face.
Seeing Zhang Yu's performance with the 7,000-kilogram weight, Le Jingchen thought to himself, "Oh? Based on his previous performance, he should be able to hold up a heavier sky pillar... Did Zhou Chechen's warning work?"
"Or is it that the body hasn't recovered from the strong drugs he took in the last game?"
In the rest area of Songyang High School, Wang Hai sighed inwardly as he watched Zhang Yu's performance: "Did he really get hurt in the last game? Alas, that's not how you inject drugs. This kid is really... Why didn't he ask me before injecting drugs?"
After Zhang Yu finished, Le Mulan held up a 7,500-kilogram sky column, Song Hailong successfully reached 8,300 kilograms, Hu Yuntao held up 8,800 kilograms, and Yu Xinghan even broke through 9,000 kilograms.
However, Zhang Yu, who was standing next to the competition venue, didn't care about anyone's thoughts, and didn't even pay attention to the contestants who were taking the stage one by one.
At this moment, there is only himself and his own flesh and blood in his eyes.
At this moment, he was only focused on himself, just to unleash his strongest power in the next round.
It was because when he held up the Sky Pillar for the first time, Zhang Yu, with his understanding and control of his own body, already knew clearly where his limits were.
Even with his level, he could feel how many sky pillars this body could support after an overload explosion.
Therefore, he did not choose to waste his energy in the second round to pursue some guaranteed result, nor did he try his best in the second round to arouse the vigilance and pursuit of other players.
He just casually lifted a 7,000-kilogram sky pillar, which was neither eye-catching nor took any effort. Then he focused his mind and conserved his physical strength to save the most peak moment for the final stage.
