Little Dragon only found out today that there are cash prizes for the new book monthly ticket rankings. Previously, he thought that only the top three had such rewards. No wonder everyone was competing so fiercely over monthly tickets.
Today, after dropping off from the ranking chart, I received an in-site message in the afternoon. Originally thinking it would be another troublemaker causing trouble again, Little Dragon was about to get angry but found out that it was a motivational message encouraging him to write well and promising to collect more monthly tickets for "Dragon's Son-In-Law". It was quite long; honestly speaking, I felt very touched and would like to say thank you to the user named Night West Wind for your encouragement! Little Dragon will definitely work hard and earn more monthly votes!!
Seeing Hao Ren finally climb down only to start climbing up again, Xie Yujia couldn't stand it anymore and walked over from the crowd. "Hao Ren! Don’t be reckless!"
"Class Monitor, I'm fine. The two bracelets were weighing on my hands earlier, making it inconvenient for me to climb," Hao Ren smiled at her. Suddenly, he took off his outer jacket, handed it to Xie Yujia and faced the stone wall once again, quickly climbing up half a meter.
Xie Yujia was worried about Hao Ren but couldn't come up to grab him and stop him from climbing. All she could do was look at Yu Rong and others with a worried expression and say, "Pull the ropes tighter; we absolutely can’t let anything happen."
Standing tall in the crowd, Xie Wanjun saw his sister's anxious face and lowered his head to think deeply.
In no time, Hao Ren had climbed up another two meters. The route was the same as before but he was moving much faster.
Everyone thought that it must be because Hao Ren had experience from last time so he didn’t need to spend time figuring things out now. However, who could have guessed that Hao Ren had just been climbing while carrying over two hundred pounds!
Of course, rock climbing becomes harder the higher you go up. The fixed points are spaced further apart and it gets increasingly difficult to grab onto them firmly.
Looking down, Huang Xujie saw that Hao Ren was trying to climb up again and was both surprised and disdainful: This idiot thinks he has an infinite amount of energy If he can even reach half the distance from before, that would already be a miracle!
He turned his head and looked at the female students looking up at him. He felt somewhat proud and increased the strength in his hands by threefold: Yes, let’s see what climbing club captain level is like!
Hao Ren steadily ascended without making any mistakes. After ten minutes, he climbed to where he had previously waved at Yu Rong.
As for Huang Xujie, he only managed to climb another three meters from his previous position.
The higher up you go, the harder it gets. Hao Ren realized that once he reached halfway up, the difficulty suddenly increased, which is why he decided to return to the ground and remove the two Mount Tai bracelets.
Similarly, Huang Xujie managed to ascend another three meters at the midsection position. However, those were very difficult three meters. The hardest part would be the final three meters closest to the top!
Hao Ren looked up at this uneven stone wall and the colorful fixed points that seemed irregularly placed. He took a deep breath, tried his best to grab onto one of them, and pulled himself upwards.
Seeing Hao Ren climb back up, Huang Xujie felt somewhat anxious. Now he wasn’t in shock but was terrified by Hao Ren’s bizarre physical strength!
And if he knew that Hao Ren had just been climbing while carrying over two hundred pounds of weight, he would probably be shocked into falling down!
As for Hao Ren, after reaching this point, he couldn’t afford to take things lightly. The next six meters were not something that could be resolved by physical strength alone; without sufficient skills, even the best physical strength wouldn't allow him to climb up!
On the ground, everyone was on tenterhooks watching the competition at high altitude. Even Xie Wanjun with his grim expression looked up tensely at the simulated stone wall over ten meters high, paying close attention to the progress of the match.
The closer Hao Ren got to Huang Xujie, using his sharp hearing, he could already hear Huang Xujie’s panting. However, his expression still remained confident as if reaching the top was just a matter of moments for him!
Looking up at the two fixed points above his head, Hao Ren truly didn’t know how to grab onto them now. If he used one hand, he would lose balance and fall back!
The higher up the rock face, the more it was designed to be outwardly protruding in a perverse manner!
Come on!
Hao Ren gritted his teeth and, regardless of how Huang Xujie had managed to pass earlier, extended one hand to quickly grab onto an above-fixed point.
As expected, he couldn't resist the influence of gravity. His entire body arched backwards, with both feet unable to hold onto the rock wall anymore. He suddenly became airborne!
A chorus of gasps erupted from the students watching on the ground below.
Even though there was a rope, this scene of becoming airborne at a height of over ten meters was still extremely perilous!
The three—Yu Rong and others—inhaled sharply. They tensed up their bodies as they struggled to hold onto the rope with all their might.
But what was even more shocking was that Hao Ren, who had both hands grabbing two fixed points, didn't fall back down due to lack of support or exhaustion; instead, he hung suspended in mid-air!
Xie Wanjun's eyes lit up as he stared at Hao Ren hanging in the air.
"There's nothing we can do about this now,"
"That's right. He definitely can't climb anymore."
"He won't be able to hold on, and will soon come down."
"Those two things only have a few fingers to grasp onto; now he has his entire body weight hanging by just his fingers. It’s impossible for him to keep going for even a few seconds."
Just as everyone was議論紛紛, Hao Ren in the air suddenly performed an inverted pull-up and bent his arm to rise up!
A chorus of gasps rang out.
When he bent his arm to its maximum extent and reached his theoretical highest point, Hao Ren suddenly extended another hand and grabbed onto a higher fixed point!
"Wow!"
Another round of gasps followed.
With both feet completely off the ground, he continued upward—relying solely on the strength of his arms to alternate between pulling up!
No more gasps were heard from below. Everyone was left speechless and staring in awe.
This was how terrifying his strength was! Pulling himself up with just a few fingers, using one arm only!
After clearing this section of the rock wall that protruded by half a meter, Hao Ren continued ascending.
Wearing nothing but an ordinary white vest worth around ten yuan and his tanned yet not overly muscular body, Hao Ren in the eyes of Yu Rong and others on the ground below looked like a descending god—absolutely stunning!
With Xie Yujia holding Hò Rén's warm coat, she was also incredulously gaping.
Huang Xu傑 truly panicked. Seeing Hò Rên already approaching him horizontally, he looked up at the fixed point above and took a deep breath before climbing upwards.
However, no matter what Huang did, whenever Hò Rên made a turnaround midway through, he could still catch up with Huang, making everyone feel that Hò Rên had already won!
Huang being able to climb to the top first only proved his technique was better and not that his stamina was superior to Hò Rên's!
The girls who were previously gazing at Huang Xu傑 in awe now began discussing this seemingly out-of-nowhere Hò Rên.
Both of them climbed slowly yet fiercely upwards. Despite being shocked, Huang Xu傑 remained calm as he was an experienced climber, controlling his emotions and remaining steady with his movements.
In rock climbing, no one knows who the winner is until the very end!
Even if leading temporarily or nearing the finish line, a single mistake would result in failure due to lack of stability!
Their proximity allowed them to hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
Sweat dripped from their arms and cheeks, smashing onto the ground below from over ten meters up.
"If I win against you, you must explain your rock climbing club’s fee process clearly to those freshmen," Hò Rên said coldly as he stared at Huang Xu傑.
"We'll see about that!" Huang Xu傑 glared fiercely back and switched arms to grip onto a higher fixed point while spreading his limbs wide apart.
This spider-like climbing action could only be done by highly skilled climbers.
On the ground, Yu Rong and others’ excited feelings slightly calmed down as they again worried for Hò Rên. The last meter was the hardest; standing at a distance on the ground made them see clearly the half-meter gap between the final fixed points. It would require an excellent jumping technique to grab it!
During the jump, any slight misstep would result in falling from a great height!
Huang Xu傑 knew how difficult this last meter was; crossing it meant victory or defeat!
He swallowed and hesitated whether to attempt it. On one hand, Hò Rên’s two climbs to match him made him lose face somewhat, needing to reach the top early to salvage his pride; on the other hand, he wasn’t entirely confident of jumping this gap, usually only having a 50% success rate in practice!
He regretted raising the difficulty just because he feared someone might get lucky and climb to the top for the prize.
When hesitating, Hò Rên didn't overthink it; using his climbing experience, he estimated the distance and leaped out!
It was like a rainbow piercing through the sun—Hò Rên's leap froze time.
Everyone involuntarily opened their mouths in awe at Hò Rên floating off the rock wall by stepping on two fixed points.
In the blue sky background, Hò Rên’s white vest was blown up by the wind, making him seem to fly!
Of course, this was just an illusion; Hò Rên only had his limbs temporarily detached from the rock wall and jumped half a meter!
The three people, including Yu Yong, looked up at Hao Ren with tense expressions, gripping the rope tightly and sweating profusely in their palms.
Crack!
Hao Ren landed on the rock wall again, his hand and foot perfectly grabbing and stepping onto two fixed points!
Everyone let out a sigh of relief when Hao Ren was only hanging by two contact points without a third support point, causing him to start swaying.
"Oh my god," everyone couldn't help but exclaim in alarm.
In this moment, it seemed like their mouths and voices were no longer under the control of their bodies and minds.
Hao Ren suddenly clenched his fingers tightly to stabilize his swaying body. He then casually placed another foot on a protrusion on the rock wall to keep his entire body pressed against it.
"Phew," Hao Ren sighed in relief as well.
He used his free hand, which had been hanging mid-air, to grab onto another fixed point above him.
The hardest part was over; he just needed two more simple steps to reach the summit!
Huang Xujie's eyes were now red from staring intently. Gone was his earlier calm and seriousness; after taking a deep breath, he rushed upwards towards another fixed point!
Crack!
His arm grabbed onto the fixed point!
The rock climbing club members, who had been stifling their cheers for over ten minutes, erupted into applause.
However, before they could fully shout out their cheers, Huang Xujie's arm gave way under his body weight and he fell from a height of several meters near the top!
The three club members holding Huang Xujie quickly pulled with all their might to control his descent.
Hao Ren climbed two steps upward and successfully reached the summit!
A wave of cheers echoed.
Zhao Jiayin turned around to see the students' surprised and cheering faces, feeling that Hao Ren's legend was about to spread throughout the school.
Hao Ren waved his hand and slowly descended down the rope. Huang Xujie, who had already reached the ground, had a face contorted in deep purple from anger.
It was clear who the victor and loser were.
The entire time, the emotionless Blackfaced God, Xie Wanjun, suddenly cracked a smile.
Truly worthy of being someone who could knock down half a basketball team...ngs of light to search for the spiritual spring buried deeper within the mountain.It had already gained enough benefits in Kunlun Mountain; if it didn't assist Hao Ren now, leaving the mountain would...
