In the other livestream room, Gang Shan and Le Jingchen watched as one student after another took the stage.

Gang Shan chuckled and said, “As expected, everyone is warming up in the first round, getting accustomed to the force of the Sky Column.”

Le Jingchen replied, “How much physical strength can be exerted, how much weight the Sky Column can ultimately bear, and the power limit of the human body, all depend on the competitor’s state on the day of the competition.”

“But for those competitors who have a strong insight into their own bodies, this round will generally give them a good estimation of their limits, knowing how much of the Sky Column they can lift.”

As the two commented on the competition, the numbers on the Sky Column constantly changed, ranging from two or three thousand kilograms to three or four thousand kilograms.

It was evident that no one was exerting full force in this round, all the competitors were getting used to the Sky Column, conserving their strength, and silently assessing how much of the Sky Column their bodies could lift.

Yet even a Sky Column weighing three or four thousand kilograms left many students in the audience amazed.

…

Zhang Yu stepped onto the platform, slowly making his way to the center directly beneath the Sky Column.

When he was below the stage, he didn’t feel much, but standing at the central position underneath the Sky Column and looking up…

felt as if the whole sky was blocked out.

Especially as the Sky Column descended slowly, it was as if the entire sky was sinking, bringing an overwhelming sense of pressure to those underneath.

Zhang Yu reached out his hand to touch the bottom of the Sky Column, feeling the weight from top to bottom, and thought to himself, “Is this what a 3600-kilogram Sky Column feels like?”

Perceiving the weight of the Sky Column, noting the condition of his own body, and feeling every muscle block supporting him…

Zhang Yu gradually had an estimate of how much of the Sky Column he could lift.

As Zhang Yu stepped off the stage, he nodded towards Bai Zhenzhen, who was preparing to go on stage.

And as Bai Zhenzhen stood beneath the Sky Column, feeling the force from above, she couldn’t help thinking, “Watching from below and actually bearing it while on stage are completely different experiences…

”

…

In the livestream room, Gang Shan asked, “Jingchen, who do you think will win the Sky Column challenge?”

Le Jingchen, standing by, said, “The demon descendants’ muscle mass far exceeds that of other competitors, so even if the physical strength is similar, their performance can often be stronger.”

“This excess muscle mass that brings stronger power was a disadvantage due to the extra volume and weight in the agility and speed challenges of the first two rounds, but now it becomes an advantage.”

“Among the demon descendants, Xiong Wenwu has the highest weight and physical strength.”

“But if Xiong Wenwu represents the strongest power, then Yu Xinghan represents the combination of strength and skill, digging deeper into the body’s strength and exploding with stronger power despite lesser muscle mass.”

“The final champion of the Sky Column challenge should be between Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan.”

…

As Le Jingchen and Gang Shan continued their conversation, the second round of the Sky Column challenge had started.

As predicted by the two of them, the competitors chose a weight close to their limits in this round, aiming to secure a safety baseline score.

So as each competitor took the stage, the numbers on the Sky Column continued to rise; every student showed far higher weights than in the previous round.

Shortly after Lian Tianji managed to hold up a 6000-kilogram Sky Column, Chu Qiuhe failed to challenge the 6800-kilogram Sky Column.

He let out a roar, his palms pressing tightly against the bottom of the Sky Column, but his body trembled under the pressure of 6800 kilograms, unable to stop the Sky Column from descending, finally having to grit his teeth and step down from the stage.

In the livestream room, Gang Shan commented, “Sigh, that’s what happens when you overestimate yourself.”

Le Jingchen responded, “The flaw of imitating demon muscles is that it may cause one to lose control over their body and make inaccurate judgments.

For an ordinary person to gain powerful physical strength, the best way is still through medication…

”

“As for the natural muscle mass of the demon descendants, the likes of Yu Xinghan’s body and control need the meticulous guidance of a Golden Core True Man, conditions ordinary people cannot have…”

It’s apparent in the Sky Column challenge, Le Jingchen planned to highlight the contribution of medication and super metabolism surgery to ordinary people’s improvement in power and control, labeling Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan as demon descendants and Golden Core disciples.

Just as Le Jingchen again started promoting Purple Cloud Pharmaceutical’s new technology.

Finally, it was Bai Zhenzhen’s turn to take the stage for the second time.

With a surge of strength, she managed to hold up a 7000-kilogram Sky Column.

Feeling her own body’s condition, especially the throbbing of those scars, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “The next round, let’s try 8000 kilograms, that should be near the limit.”

And after Bai Zhenzhen was done, it was Zhang Yu’s turn to take the stage.

He (Jayden) held up the 7000-kilogram Sky Column and then expressionlessly stepped down.

Watching Zhang Yu’s 7000-kilogram performance, Le Jingchen thought to himself, “Oh?

With his previous level, he should be able to hold up a heavier Sky Column…

Was Zhou Chechen’s warning effective?”

“Or did the potent drugs taken in the last competition still not allow his body to recover by now?”

In the rest area of Songyang High School, looking at Zhang Yu’s performance, Wang Hai also sighed inwardly, “Guess he hurt his body from the last match?

Sigh, drugs aren’t to be used like this, this kid is really…

why didn’t he ask me before taking drugs?”

After Zhang Yu finished, it was Le Mulan’s turn to lift a 7500-kilogram Sky Column, Song Halong succeeded in lifting 8300 kilograms, Hu Yuntao lifted 8800 kilograms, and Yu Xinghan surpassed 9000 kilograms.

But Zhang Yu on the side of the stage didn’t care about anyone’s opinions, nor did he pay attention to the competitors taking the stage one by one.

At this moment, all he focused on was himself, his own body and flesh.

This moment, he was solely focused on himself, all for unleashing his strongest power in the next round.

Because when lifting the Sky Column for the first time, Zhang Yu, through his understanding and control of his own body, had clearly known his own limits.

Even at his level, he could feel how much weight his body could withstand, even after a super overload burst.

Thus, he didn’t choose to waste his energy in the second round trying to secure a baseline score, didn’t push too hard and early in the second round to attract others’ attention and pursuit.

He just casually lifted a 7000-kilogram Sky Column, neither attracting attention nor consuming much energy, then focused on conserving his spirit and physical strength, reserving the peak moment for the final stage display.
