Orc Undead Sports Warrior
Chapter 43 Climbing Competition (1)
It was obvious that Zou Cheng's words were directed at Lu Wei; his eyes were clearly looking in Lu Wei's direction as he spoke.
"No matter what your achievements are in other events, I can confidently tell you that I can crush you in an instant on this field!" Zou Cheng was very excited as he spoke, waving his hands in the air. His excitement reached its peak when he saw Lu Wei take out climbing shoes from his sports bag.
It's obvious that these shoes were recently purchased; even the tags are still on the bag.
Lu Wei was also quite helpless. He had never owned any climbing shoes before, and he had only bought these shoes yesterday afternoon, never even once.
However, Zou Cheng's provocation still annoyed him a bit. He looked at Zou Cheng defiantly and pointed at him twice with his finger: "You just wait!"
At this moment, Zou Cheng had finished the interview and was walking towards the rest area. He understood what Lu Wei meant from his lip movements, then showed a playful expression and gestured towards the track.
Before coming here, Lu Wei didn't really care about the result of the competition, but Zou Cheng's actions suddenly made Lu Wei's competitive spirit explode.
He carefully observed the rock face. It was an international standard track, 15 meters high. The competition was divided into two tracks, A and B, each 3 meters wide. The size, shape, color, and placement of the rock holds were exactly the same for both tracks.
After several rounds of competition, it was finally Lu Wei's turn to appear. Lu Wei couldn't wait to come to the rock wall. The current angle of the rock wall was 10 degrees, which could be adjusted according to the requirements of the competition. Considering that the strength of everyone in the preliminaries was uneven, the organizers of the event did not adjust the angle of the rock wall to be too high.
Lu Wei drew track B, and staff came to his side to attach a safety rope. Lu Wei stood with his hands on the starfish-patterned rock wall handrails, his right foot on the foothold on the rock wall, ready to start.
"After I call 'Ready,' the two players cannot compete during the period before the starting signal. They can only start after the starting signal is given; otherwise, it will be a foul and their result will be invalid." The referee reminded the two players one last time.
"Speed climbing requires a high degree of agility. Look at how tall this guy is, do you think he can even make it to the elimination rounds?"
"Didn't you hear what Zou Cheng said? This guy is just a track and field star who's here to put on a show!"
As more and more spectators gathered to watch the game, the two men practically shouted as they discussed their points. But just before the game was about to start, everyone quieted down for a moment, as the two guys were completely absorbed in their shouting communication.
If the competition weren't about to start, Lu Wei would have loved to drag those two up and question them to get to the bottom of things.
"I came alone, without any reporters or fans. I'm just putting on a show with ghosts, two idiots!"
"Beep!" Just as Lu Wei was getting annoyed, the starting music suddenly started. Affected, Lu Wei was jolted and was noticeably a beat slower than the athletes on the adjacent track.
"Hahaha, see, I told you... Holy crap, so fast, Hulk has possessed me!"
Lu Wei drew gasps of amazement from the audience in just two seconds. After stepping onto the first foothold, he quickly grabbed the handhold in the upper left corner with his left hand, and then pushed off with force, springing to the right along the trajectory of the starfish rock foothold.
Next was a vertical rock climbing route. Lu Wei used both hands to push off, without using his feet to step on any footholds. Instead, he pushed off the rock face and sprang up quickly.
This action surprised the team members on track A, who fell directly off the rock face and were suspended in the air by safety ropes.
Lu Wei's next move was even more fluid and graceful. When Lu Wei pressed the finish button at the top of the rock, the entire audience erupted in high-decibel screams and applause.
"Wow, this is what speed climbing is all about! When I was studying abroad, my classmates who did extreme sports were at this pace. This guy is probably even more terrifying than them. I made the right choice coming today, this is so exciting!" After the applause, the audience started discussing it enthusiastically.
At this moment, the host's voice came on: "Dear viewers, Lu Wei, who just finished the race, has broken today's best time with a time of 8.9 seconds. His terrifying power is simply a real-life version of the Hulk. Can anyone surpass him? Let's wait and see!"
Next up was Alan Robert, and from the moment the match began, everyone could see the monster's strength. His 1.7-meter height allowed him to move freely between the various rock holds, and when the rock path passed through curves and bends, he was even able to perform a fancy side handspring.
If Lu Wei's ability relies on his explosive power, then Alan Robert relies on his climbing flexibility and superb technique.
As he approached the finish line button, Alan Roberts performed a front flip, using his left hand to maintain his balance before quickly pressing the finish line button with his right.
"Alan Robert's final time is 8.5 seconds, ranking first in the qualifying round. Let's give him a round of applause!" The host was also very excited, and it was clear that Alan Robert's series of actions had inspired everyone present.
Lu Wei and Zou Cheng also applauded at this moment, this is the performance of a master.
Next, the eight players who advanced to the knockout stage faced off against each other. Lu Wei's opponent in the quarterfinals had already lost his will after the match started and fell down after climbing only a few meters.
"Lu Wei's time in this round was 8.3 seconds, which is a significant improvement. He has already surpassed Alan Robert from the previous round. I wonder if everyone has noticed this phenomenon? So far, none of Lu Wei's opponents have been able to finish the race. How will the remaining races unfold? I'm really looking forward to it!" The host's timely comments whetted the audience's appetite.
Zou Cheng, who came on next, also defeated his opponent. His time in this round was 9.2 seconds. Spurred on by the other two top competitors, he gradually improved in the competition.
In the final round, even before Alan Robert started his race, the audience was already screaming their heads off. This round was another display of various fancy tricks all the way to the finish line.
Alan Roberts achieved a time of 7.9 seconds in this round. After becoming familiar with the climbing course, everyone's performance steadily improved.
In the semifinals, Lu Wei will face Zou Cheng, while Alan Robert will play against a local player whose strength is significantly inferior to his own.
Before the competition, the host called Lu Wei and Zou Cheng onto the stage to liven up the atmosphere for the audience: "Zou Cheng, judging from the course of the competition, track and field athlete Lu Wei's performance has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Do you have anything to say to him now?"
Zou Cheng picked up the microphone, still looking defiant: "Most of what I said on stage before the competition was directed at Lu Wei, but I must admit, he is very strong. What I need to do is respect the sport of running and climbing, fight to the bitter end against a powerful opponent, and I can win in the end!"
"Zou Cheng's spirit of not being afraid of strong opponents is exactly the attitude of constantly challenging oneself in rock climbing. Now let's see if our track and field champion, Mr. Lu Wei, has anything to say to everyone. I'm now handing the microphone to Lu Wei!"
