Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 44 Climbing Competition (2)

Lu Wei picked up the microphone and smiled at Zou Cheng: "In sports, strength is the most important thing. No matter what attitude you have when you participate, only the winner will be respected. I'm participating today for the championship, and it has nothing to do with showing off. I will use victory to shut up the doubters. We'll see!"

After saying this, Lu Wei suddenly stopped smiling and turned to walk towards the track. This immediately made Zou Cheng feel the pressure from his opponent. When the host took the microphone, he was suddenly speechless. The pressure from Lu Wei made his mind go blank, and he completely forgot about how to smooth things over.

As the starting signal sounded, the two immediately launched an assault on the 15-meter-high rock wall. Although there was a significant height difference, Lu Wei's speed and agility were in no way inferior to Zou Cheng's.

Moreover, Lu Wei's movements were significantly more effective than his opponent's at each rock climbing point, especially at several turning points. He didn't follow the path of the rock climbing point at all, but instead jumped directly onto the next rock climbing point on a straight line.

Lu Wei quickly widened the gap with his opponents. As Lu Wei pressed the finish button, the time stopped at 7.3 seconds, and the whole stadium immediately burst into applause.

Zou Cheng's run in this round was very difficult from start to finish. This was the first time he had felt such immense psychological pressure in a speed climbing competition. He was even surprised that he felt timid in a familiar area. He faced several close calls during the competition and finally managed to finish, but his score still improved slightly.

This is the spiritual power of orcs; without strong spiritual power, it is difficult to resist their oppressive aura.

After the match, Zou Cheng took the initiative to walk up to Lu Wei and shake hands with him. He was very convinced of his defeat to this opponent.

"Let's give a round of applause to the two athletes. They were rivals on the field, but after the competition, they can let bygones be bygones. This is the spirit of sports that we have always advocated!" The host also adjusted well and quickly returned to normal.

In the other semi-final, Alan Robert easily defeated his opponent, finishing in 7.2 seconds. Lu Wei narrowed the gap between himself and his opponent to 0.1 seconds in just three rounds. Both climbers were increasing their climbing speed, making their final results unpredictable.

Before the finals, the organizers arranged for an amateur group to compete, allowing the two players participating in the finals to get enough rest.

After the amateur group competition ended, the host tried to liven up the atmosphere by inviting the two finalists to the stage. He then showed off his fluent French: "Mr. Alain Robert, I'm sure everyone here has heard your story countless times. Could you share with us what motivates you to risk your life to continuously challenge the world's tallest building?"

"It must be the spirit of not being content with mediocrity. If I didn't pursue rock climbing, I would still live a good life. I don't rely on this sport to support my family; this is my dream!" Alan Robert gave his answer without hesitation.

"Now, please comment on your opponent in the final!"

Alan Robert smiled and looked at Lu Wei: "We've known each other before. He's an excellent track and field athlete, but I didn't expect him to be so strong in speed climbing as well. I think he's a very charismatic person. I hope we can both find our own joy in this sport!"

"Okay, then let's ask Lu Wei to talk about his feelings right now!" the host said, handing the microphone to Lu Wei.

"I'll share my feelings with everyone after I win the championship!" After saying that, Lu Wei handed the microphone back to the host and turned to walk towards the track.

"Alright, the final battle is about to begin, so get ready to scream for this ultimate showdown! Now the arena is in the hands of the two contestants!"

The two made their final preparations and smiled at each other. Lu Wei had now fully unleashed his oppressive aura, yet his opponent remained unaffected, and his goodwill towards Alan Robert increased even further.

The competition began, and the two immediately went all out to reach the top.

Lu Wei took the lead in the first three meters thanks to his explosive power, while Alan Robert quickly caught up with Lu Wei by using his agility and speed, and caught up with Lu Wei at the second turn.

The two men's incredible speed immediately ignited the entire arena, causing the audience to gasp in astonishment.

In the next 3 meters or so of direct rock climbing, Lu Wei almost relied on his leg strength to jump to the top of the rock climbing point. With this jump, he crossed 3 footholds and immediately opened up a distance of 1 meter from his opponent.

"Oh no! Rock climbing should rely on lower body strength to ascend steadily, while upper body strength is mainly used to maintain balance. This could very likely cause you to fall!" Many knowledgeable rock climbing enthusiasts were worried for Lu Wei.

To everyone's surprise, after Lu Wei jumped, without any foothold, he used his upper body strength to grab the rock and pull his entire body up.

Alan Robert, on the other hand, used his abnormally fast movement speed to keep moving upwards, and at the end of this direct line, he caught up with Lu Wei again, and the two were on the same level again.

Next came two more zigzag climbs. Lu Wei continued to use the over-the-point climbing technique, while Alan Robert relied on his abnormal speed and didn't back down.

In the final moments, the two players pressed the finish button almost simultaneously, and the audience could not tell the final winner with the naked eye.

As the two released their anchor points and slowly descended from the top of the rock face using safety ropes, the timer finally displayed their final score.

Lu Wei's time was 6.75 seconds, while Alan Robert's final time was 6.77 seconds. Lu Wei won by a hair's breadth.

"The competition was truly spectacular! Congratulations to Lu Wei for winning the championship. He will receive a prize of 5 RMB from the event organizers. We also want to congratulate the invited competitor, Alan Robert, who demonstrated the essence of rock climbing. There were no losers in this competition. Now, let's hear Lu Wei's acceptance speech!"

At this moment, Lu Wei was still panting heavily: "This is a match with no losers. The winners won honor, and the losers won respect. We all have a reason to become legends!"

His few words earned him another round of applause from the audience, and Lu Wei and Alan Robert shook hands.

“I envy those who can fight for their ideals. I haven’t found my own path in life yet,” Lu Wei said, bending down to whisper in Alan Robert’s ear.

"No one can know what their path will be like or how to walk it at the very beginning of their life. Only through continuous exploration can one gradually understand what path they want to take. Keep going, young man, your life has just begun, and the future belongs to those who bravely face themselves!"

Alan Robert's words brought Lu Wei a sense of relief. Perhaps the meaning of life he was searching for was right there in the present moment, right under his feet.

When you come into this world, you should do what you want to do and then think about the meaning of your existence.
