143: Chapter 116: The Strongest Force!

12,531 kilograms?

Are you crazy?

How is it possible for a student who’s been cultivating for only eight and a half months to achieve this?

Even demon descendants can’t do it.

As they saw the number on the Sky Column, this was the thought that appeared in most people’s minds present.

Gang Shan, watching in the live streaming room, was also surprised: “Who’s the next contestant?

They actually want to challenge the 12,531-kilogram Sky Column?”

Le Jingchen calmly said, “The last contestant who hasn’t taken the stage must be Zhang Yu from Songyang High School, right?”

Gang Shan was shocked: “That student from Songyang High School?

Didn’t he lift only 7,000 kilograms last round?

And now he’s jumping straight to 12,531 kilograms?

Is he not afraid of being crushed to death?”

“And this precise kilogram number down to the unit…

does he mean he’s completely mastered his limits, even accurately down to the unit?”

Le Jingchen said nothing, because he also couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“Is it…

a new promotional tactic?

A comedic stunt?”

“Is White Dragon High School and Immortal Rhythm Group using some marketing strategy I don’t understand?”

…

On Wang Hai’s side, he was getting anxious: “What’s this kid doing?

12,531 kilograms?

Can he really handle that weight right now?”

“Someone’s going to get killed!”

“How expensive was the insurance you bought?

To dare to play like this?”

Thinking of the 12,531-kilogram weight pressing down, Zhang Yu might be gravely injured in that moment of forced support, Wang Hai immediately rushed towards the arena.

If something happens to a student he is leading, he, as the teacher, would be responsible.

Especially if, at that time, the student isn’t dead, but all the money has been spent.

Wang Hai didn’t want such an excellent student to lose all his Immortal Dao Potential early in his first year by spending all his gold coins on medical fees.

Although Wang Hai wanted to stop him, he was blocked by the staff.

As Wang Hai was entangled with the staff, the other contestants were also looking at Zhang Yu with astonished expressions.

Le Mulan looked at his back, feeling her own head getting hot and dizzy, and thought chaotically, “Could it be a mistake in filling out the form?”

Song Halong grew extremely curious: “Zhang Yu doesn’t seem like a fool, what exactly is he up to?”

Yu Xinghan considered himself having the strongest body present, with the highest level of physical control.

Looking at Zhang Yu not far away, he thought to himself, “A bluffer, with his level it’s impossible to achieve this.”

Hu Yuntao wore a look of disdain, also not believing that Zhang Yu could lift the 12,531-kilogram Sky Column.

He just wanted to discuss with Xiong Wenwu beside him, to ridicule Zhang Yu a bit, but found that Xiong Wenwu had already fainted.

At this moment, countless people’s eyes were focused on Zhang Yu, and all the attention gathered on him alone, forming a substantial pressure.

Just looking at it from afar made Zhao Tianxing’s skin crawl, wishing he could dig a hole for Zhang Yu to hide in.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu’s eyes seemed to have no one else on the arena.

He just calmly waved toward the gym entrance, calmly receiving the delivery from Teacher Ziyun.

This was the medicine he just ordered before the final round started.

Although he specially paid extra to have it delivered by a Qi Refinement accomplished deliveryman, it was still blocked outside the school gate, and now delivered by Teacher Ziyun.

Zhang Yu slowly took out three syringes from the delivery packaging and injected them into his body one by one.

Feeling the state of his body, he thought silently, “After all, for 12,531 kilograms, some pharmacological assistance is still needed.”

Seeing Zhang Yu injecting himself with medicine, Wang Hai felt a pit in his stomach: “What kind of medicine is he injecting?

Why is he injecting medicine?

Forcing it like this will really cause fundamental harm.”

But to many people on site, Zhang Yu’s reliance was clearly the medicine he was injecting now.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu’s slowly ascending back and thought silently, “Go Yu Zi, win all the prizes, advertisements, endorsements, and a spot in the Top Ten…

damn it, win them all!”

In the live streaming room, Gang Shan also got excited: “Zhang Yu’s physical strength is level 4.95, right?

12,531 kilograms of weight, even a slight mistake would result in serious injury.”

Le Jingchen nodded and said, “Trying to make the body burst under overload to withstand this weight of the Sky Column is almost impossible.

On the contrary, a slight mistake in posture and exertion would result in a sprain or fracture.”

Gang Shan sighed: “Which is why it’s not just a challenge to one’s strength, but also a challenge to one’s skills, using one’s medical insurance or even Immortal Dao Potential as the stake.”

…

On stage.

Zhang Yu slowly looked up at the base of the Sky Column.

Although the scene was extremely noisy, although countless eyes and attention were focused on him, although the next battle concerned his future, the arrangements of the three major high schools, and the company’s plans…

But for the focused Zhang Yu at this moment, he was no longer thinking about these.

And when he operated the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique in full concentration, his mind focused more intensely than ever.

The whole world seemed to turn black and white at this moment, and all that remained in Zhang Yu’s eyes was the Sky Column before him and his own body.

His strong heart kept beating, and all his tendons, muscles, and bones became incredibly active under the nourishment of the qi and the medicine.

No doubt, after the heart breakthrough in the previous round and an hour and a half of development, his body was now in a peak state.

Even his physical strength increased from level 4.95 to level 4.96.

At this moment, his heart was no longer a burden, his whole body balanced to an incomparable degree, perfectly capable of unleashing the power contained within his flesh.

“So the remaining task is simple.”

“Just do what I’m capable of doing.”

This was one of those rare times Zhang Yu entered full concentration mode purely for strength operation, rather than a high-speed environment.

Staring at the snail’s pace of the falling Sky Column.

Zhang Yu lightly reached out a finger and pressed it against the base of the Sky Column, immediately feeling the overwhelming force descending from the heavens, penetrating his body, transmitting to the platform beneath his feet.

And as long as he exerted a little force to resist this power, he seemed to see the pressure coming from both the Sky Column and the platform beneath him, above and below…

like a giant beast’s mouth about to crush him into dust.

The next moment, as Zhang Yu exerted both palms hard, trying to brace against the descending Sky Column, this feeling grew even stronger.

Despite having a body trained to an incredible degree of strength.

But at this moment, in Zhang Yu’s perception, his body seemed fragile under the Sky Column’s pressure.

Arms, shoulders, spine, leg bones, and muscles in every part of his body…

all seemed to grow increasingly fragile under this massive force.

That fragility he perceived, where a single moment of inattention could exceed the body’s limit tolerance, resulting in muscle tears and broken bones.

So with the Sky Column pressing down, Zhang Yu constantly adjusted his posture.

Muscles in the arms can’t hold like this…

need to redirect.

The lumbar spine can’t bear it like this…

need to offload.

The pressure on the legs needs to be distributed…

Zhang Yu felt like he was assembling a puzzle piece by piece, freely and skillfully combining the forces within his entire body to support that overwhelming pressure from above.

Only this puzzle was made of his flesh, and at this moment seemed as fragile as glass, hesitating even slightly might get it crushed by that terrifying force from above.

“Almost there…”

“Almost done…”

Zhang Yu’s brain was working at high speed, and with continuous adjustment and decomposing of strength, sweat kept seeping from his forehead.

And during this process, the Sky Column continued falling steadily downward.

The Sky Column and the platform seemed like a gradually closing giant mouth while Zhang Yu felt like walking on a tightrope above, ready to be swallowed by that giant mouth at any moment.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu didn’t even have time to panic.

With his whole-hearted engagement, he could only feel his thinking growing increasingly smooth, the ‘power’ in his eyes becoming clearer and clearer.

The Sky Column’s center of gravity, power flow within muscles, support of every piece of flesh…

Everything was so clear, so comprehensible, making Zhang Yu feel an unprecedented clarity.

Under this immense pressure, Zhang Yu made a new breakthrough.

Redirect, shift, offload, exert power, support, burst…

the techniques from various level 10 cultivation methods converged and connected.

Zhang Yu seemed to see countless flows of power, balances, interweavings.

The next moment, a flash of light crossed his eyes, his entire body’s nerves, muscles, bones seemed pierced by a lightning stroke.

“I can feel…

I can see…”

“All the power…”

With the fierce exertion of all his muscles, Zhang Yu’s entire flesh reached an unprecedented balance.

Every inch of his skin, every inch of bone, every strand of flesh and blood, all were sharing that terrifying weight from above.

12,531 kilograms of force erupted from Zhang Yu’s body, his form resembled an unbelievably fragile yet immensely strong statue, slowly lifting the Sky Column.

The reason for fragility was because even a slight mistake, a slight tilt of force endured could disrupt his body’s balance, leading to collapse, rupture.

The reason for strength was because every bit of flesh burst with its limits, like steel-reinforced concrete, pushing the terrifying 12,531 kilograms to raise the Sky Column.

Thus, under countless shocked gazes, Zhang Yu slowly lifted his back, bearing the Sky Column firmly on his shoulders.

1 second!

Bones began to crack, skin showed fissures, blood stains emerged all over his body.

3 seconds!

Organs started internal bleeding.

5 seconds!

Zhang Yu’s mouth corner, eye sockets, nose started overflowing with blood, yet he revealed a slight smile.

Because he carried down the 12,531-kilogram Sky Column.

At this moment, he represented the strongest power on the entire arena!

Offstage, Yu Xinghan stared intently at Zhang Yu’s body, eyes continuously swept over every bulging muscle, every contour revealed.

At this moment, he saw not an ordinary body, but a peak-like perfect technique, a comprehensive understanding of the body, and power far beyond his display.

At this moment, Yu Xinghan understood he lost.

In the excavation and use of physical strength, he lost this time.

The Zhang Yu before him bet his flesh and blood to defeat him.

And as the Sky Column slowly rose back up, Zhang Yu’s body had almost no undamaged spots.

However, because the damage was spread all over his body, he did not suffer serious injury.

Wang Hai and Bai Zhenzhen rushed onto the stage.

Wang Hai quickly inspected Zhang Yu’s body, then inhaled sharply.

“Such minor injuries?

This way even without treatment, it can gradually self-heal, right?

No…

it’s not just minor, many parts if slightly more severe, could trigger a chain reaction, leading to severe injuries costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in medical fees.”

“This kid, controlled the injury just below the serious injury threshold…”

As an ace sports coach, Wang Hai was extremely familiar with the human body structure.

Precisely because of this, he understood how incredible Zhang Yu’s injuries were.

And the only explanation Wang Hai could think of was…

talent.

“Absolute talent, absolute talent in the excavation and control of physical strength.”

“This Zhang Yu is the most talented and valuable student I’ve encountered in my coaching career.”
