Inside the live broadcast, Le Jingchen was explaining the rules and procedures of the Sky Pillar challenge to the audience.

“The Sky Pillar challenge, the specific process is… In the first round, each contestant reports their target weight, and then they take turns going on stage to lift the Sky Pillar.”

“This is done for a total of three rounds, and in the end, each contestant will be scored according to their best result from the three rounds.”

“It is important to note… During the process of reporting the target weight in each round, the contestants cannot know how much weight the other contestants have reported.”

“That is to say, before stepping onto the stage for each round, apart from the weight you have to lift, the weight the other contestants are lifting this round, whether it’s higher or lower than you, will only be known after each contestant takes their turn on stage.”

Gang Shan, who was beside him, asked, “In that case, it seems that an important point of this round is the judgment of one’s own limit strength.”

Gang Shan slowly said, “Misjudging one’s limit strength, if the judgment is too low, the score will be low, but if the misjudgment is too high, you won’t be able to lift it, which means a failed round, wasting an opportunity to lift the Sky Pillar, and even potentially getting injured.”

Le Jingchen nodded, agreeing, “That’s right. According to my estimate, in the first round, all contestants will report a relatively easy weight to adapt and warm up, conserve their strength, and at the same time, judge how heavy of a Sky Pillar they can lift at most.”

“The second round will aim for a strength close to their limit, as a safe score.”

“The third round will be an all-out effort to challenge the limit.”

Inside the rest area of Songyang High School.

Wang Hai, He Dayou, and others were watching Gang Shan’s live broadcast while watching the competition on-site.

As for why they were watching Gang Shan’s live broadcast, it was from Wang Hai’s recommendation.

Wang Hai said, “If you have to watch a body refinement streamer, you can watch Gang Shan. He has a wealth of body refinement experience, and he doesn’t sell pills or cultivation methods. He’s a rare conscientious streamer.”

After watching it, everyone found that Gang Shan and Le Jingchen’s explanations of the physical competition were very insightful, so they continued watching until now.

Qian Shen, who was listening beside them, nodded at this moment and said, “I see. Although this round is a competition, it is actually a challenge to oneself.”

He Dayou asked, “Teacher Wang, how heavy of a Sky Pillar do you think Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen can lift?”

Wang Hai said indifferently, “At least 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms should be no problem. Any higher than that… I can’t really judge.”

Wang Hai looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who were queuing up to report their target weights in the arena, and then looked at the Sky Pillars in the sky, thinking to himself, “Apart from the display of strength in this final round, the most important thing is the insight and judgment of one’s own limit strength.”

“Those with high body refinement levels not only possess great strength and speed, but also have a deep understanding and insight into their physical condition.”

“There are only three opportunities. Will they choose a score close to their limit strength, or will they try to challenge a score that exceeds their limit strength?”

“What will they choose?”

The others beside him were deeply impressed when they heard the number 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms, and they all sighed.

Zhao Tianxing didn’t say anything, because he felt that if he, the weakest one present, were to express his admiration or even exclaim in surprise, he would look like a clown.

“Alas, as long as a person is weak and poor, every word and action will become ridiculous in the eyes of the strong.”

“And weakness and poverty are both relative.”

He looked at Qian Shen and He Dayou beside him, thinking to himself, “Even if Qian Shen is rich and He Dayou is strong… after coming to this arena, they also seem weak and poor compared to these contestants.”

“And no matter how proud they were in the past, or what kind of limelight they were in at school, their current behavior will become ridiculous and clownish in contrast to these strong people on stage.”

This is the law that Zhao Tianxing has summarized after extensive self-observation… He calls it the Weak Poor Clown Theory.

“A strong person or a rich person, as long as they come before a group of stronger or richer people, they will become a poor person or a weak person, and then they will become ridiculous, and finally become a clown.”

Zhao Tianxing sighed in his heart, “There’s no way around it, who asked this to be an era where scores are king, the Dao of Immortals is supreme, and money can move gods.”

With the reporting of the target weights for the first round by all the contestants completed, the competition officially began.

The contestants will take the stage one by one in ascending order of their target weights.

The first one to take the stage was a Ziyun person.

The man, whose body was glowing with a purple hue, slowly walked onto the stage, and the words “2000 kilograms” appeared on the body of the Sky Pillar.

Looking up at the slowly descending Sky Pillar, the Ziyun person shouted softly and stretched out his palms towards the sky, slamming them hard against the bottom of the Sky Pillar.

With a loud bang, the originally slowly descending Sky Pillar was suddenly stopped.

After 5 seconds passed, the words “2000 kilograms” disappeared from the Sky Pillar, and the pillar slowly rose again and retracted.

The Ziyun person on stage breathed a slight sigh of relief and walked off the stage.

Next, one contestant after another took the stage, each lifting the weight they had reported.

And the numbers that appeared on the Sky Pillar became higher and higher, from 2000 kilograms to 2500 kilograms, and then to 3000 kilograms…

When Chu Qiuhe took the stage, he was lifting a Sky Pillar weighing 3500 kilograms.

He gave a shout and easily stopped the 3500-kilogram Sky Pillar, then slightly lifted it up, feeling the pressure from the Sky Pillar.

He secretly estimated in his heart, “With my strength level, I should be able to lift up to 6500 kilograms, right? Should I try to push it further and challenge the limit…”

On the other side of the live broadcast, Gang Shan and Le Jingchen were watching the students take the stage one by one.

Gang Shan laughed and said, “As expected, everyone is warming up in the first round, and also getting used to exerting force on the Sky Pillar.”

Le Jingchen said, “How much physical strength can be exerted, how much weight of the Sky Pillar can ultimately be lifted, is inextricably linked to the human body’s limit strength and the contestant’s state on the day.”

“But for contestants with a strong understanding of their own bodies, they can basically accurately judge their limit in this round and know how heavy of a Sky Pillar they can lift.”

While the two were commenting on the competition, the numbers on the Sky Pillar were constantly changing, but in general, they ranged from two or three thousand kilograms to three or four thousand kilograms.

Clearly, no one was using their full strength in this round. All the contestants were adapting to the Sky Pillar, conserving their strength, and quietly judging how heavy of a Sky Pillar their bodies could lift.

But even a Sky Pillar weighing three or four thousand kilograms still stunned many students present.

Zhang Yu walked onto the high platform and slowly came to the center position beneath the Sky Pillar.

When he was off the stage, he didn’t feel anything, but now standing in the center position under the Sky Pillar, looking up… he had the feeling that the entire sky was blocked.

Especially as the Sky Pillar slowly descended, it felt as if the entire sky was sinking, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression to the people below.

Zhang Yu reached out and touched the bottom of the Sky Pillar, feeling the weight from top to bottom, and thought to himself, “Is this the feeling of a 3600-kilogram Sky Pillar?”

Perceiving the weight of the Sky Pillar, understanding his body’s condition, the support of the muscles all over his body… Zhang Yu gradually had an estimate of how heavy of a Sky Pillar he could lift.

Zhang Yu nodded to Bai Zhenzhen as he stepped down, watching her prepare to go on stage.

And when Bai Zhenzhen stood under the Sky Pillar, feeling the force from top to bottom, she couldn’t help but think, “As expected, watching from the stage and actually lifting it up on stage are completely different feelings…”

In the live broadcast, Gang Shan said, “Jingchen, who do you think will win the Sky Pillar challenge?”

Le Jingchen said, “The muscle mass of the Demon Descendant students far exceeds that of other contestants, so even with similar physical strength, their strength performance is often stronger.”

“This stronger strength brought about by more muscle mass is a burden in the agility and speed tests of the first two rounds due to the extra volume and weight, but it becomes an advantage in this round.”

“And among the Demon Descendant students, Xiong Wenwu has the highest weight and the highest physical strength.”

“And if Xiong Wenwu represents the strongest strength, then Yu Xinghan represents the combination of strength and skill, being able to more deeply tap into the body’s strength and explode with stronger strength with less muscle mass.”

“The final champion of the Sky Pillar challenge should fall on Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan.”

Just as Le Jingchen and Gang Shan were talking, the second round of the Sky Pillar challenge had already begun.

As the two had explained earlier, the contestants had chosen a strength close to their limit and were striving for a safe score in this round.

Thus, as one contestant after another took the stage, the numbers on the Sky Pillar continued to increase, and each student showed a weight in this round that was far higher than in the previous round.

Just after Lian Tianji had just lifted a 6000-kilogram Sky Pillar not long ago.

Chu Qiuhe failed while challenging a 6800-kilogram Sky Pillar.

He let out a violent roar, his palms firmly supporting the bottom of the Sky Pillar, but his body was constantly trembling under the pressure of 6800 kilograms, unable to stop the Sky Pillar from falling. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and retreat off the stage.

Gang Shan in the live broadcast said, “Alas, this is overestimating one’s level.”

Le Jingchen said, “The flaw of the imitation demon muscles is that they easily lead to a decrease in one’s control over the body, resulting in inaccurate judgments. The best way for ordinary people to obtain strong physical strength is still through medication…”

“As for the Demon Descendant’s innate muscle mass, Yu Xinghan’s level of physical strength and control requires the careful training of Golden Core cultivators, which are conditions that ordinary people cannot have…”

Clearly, in this Sky Pillar challenge, Le Jingchen plans to label Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan, who are competing for the championship, with the labels “Demon Descendant” and “Golden Core disciple”, highlighting the greater popularity and importance of medication and super metabolic surgery for ordinary people.

Just as Le Jingchen was about to start promoting the new technology of Ziyun Pharmaceutical again.

It was finally Bai Zhenzhen’s turn to take the stage for the second time.

With a burst of strength in her body, she lifted the 7000-kilogram Sky Pillar.

Feeling the state of her body, especially the twitching of those scars, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “I’ll try 8000 kilograms in the next round. That should be close to the limit.”

After Bai Zhenzhen finished, it was Zhang Yu’s turn to take the stage.

He lifted the 7000-kilogram Sky Pillar and walked off the stage expressionlessly.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s performance of 7000 kilograms, Le Jingchen thought to himself, “Oh, based on his previous performance, he should be able to lift a heavier Sky Pillar… Did Zhou Chechen’s warning work?”

“Or is it that the strong medicine he took in the last match has not yet recovered by this moment?”

Inside the rest area of Songyang High School, Wang Hai sighed in his heart as he watched Zhang Yu’s performance, “As expected, he injured his body in the last match. Alas, medicine is not taken like this. This kid is really… Why didn’t he ask me before taking the medicine?”

After Zhang Yu finished, Le Mulan lifted a 7500-kilogram Sky Pillar, Song Hailong successfully challenged 8300 kilograms, Hu Yuntao lifted 8800 kilograms, and Yu Xinghan even broke through 9000 kilograms.

However, Zhang Yu beside the arena did not pay attention to anyone’s thoughts, or even pay attention to the contestants taking the stage one by one.

At this moment, he only had himself in his eyes, only this body of flesh and blood.

At this moment, he only focused on himself, only to unleash his strongest strength in the next round.

This is because when he lifted the Sky Pillar for the first time, Zhang Yu clearly knew where his limit was based on his understanding and mastery of his own body.

Even at his level, he could feel how heavy of a Sky Pillar this body could lift after overloading and bursting.

So he didn’t choose to waste his strength in the second round to pursue any safe score, didn’t desperately work hard in the second round to attract the attention and pursuit of other contestants.

He just casually lifted a 7000-kilogram Sky Pillar, neither attracting attention nor spending much effort, and then wholeheartedly restrained his spirit and conserved his strength, wanting to leave the peak moment on the final stage to show.
