Countless netizens are speculating about the current limits of Wang Ye’s strength. Some bloggers with a focus on physics are even jumping on the bandwagon to calculate how much force Wang Ye was enduring with one arm at that moment.

Although they don’t know the exact weight of Carlos and his motorcycle or their speed, the video allows them to make visual estimates. They calculate Carlos’s weight based on his height ratio with Wang Ye, the approximate weight of the motorcycle based on Carlos’s handling precision, and from these figures approximate the moving speed of the motorcycle in kilometers per hour. Combining these data, they can roughly calculate how much force Wang Ye was enduring with one arm at that time.

If the limit weight for a normal person’s single-arm drag is one hundred kilograms,

then the weight Wang Ye was enduring at that moment was at least fifty times that of an ordinary person.

That’s five thousand kilograms!

A full five tons!

Seeing this, Li Weimin realized that the situation was likely to spiral out of control.

Moderate strength will bring admiration and flattery. But excessive strength will bring fear and rejection. Just like Superman in DC Comics, he possesses power enough to destroy cities or even the world, able to crush humans with a finger snap. Even though he maintains a perfect persona to do good and stabilize human society, some people still see him as a threat because such power is a severe uncontrollable factor.

Understanding this, Li Weimin knew he couldn’t let everyone know the full extent of Wang Ye’s current strength. He first contacted the headquarters in their country, asking them to use some measures to slightly suppress the trending topics.

He then summoned several logistics personnel to modify Carlos’s motorcycle.

The engine and components of the motorcycle were taken out, leaving only an empty shell.

They also peeled off a layer of skin inside, finally reducing the motorcycle’s weight from nearly two hundred pounds to fifty pounds.

Then Li Weimin had a video shot and published it, using the video to explain that the actual weight of the motorcycle Carlos was riding was only fifty kilograms, proving that the netizens’ speculations were unfounded.

This video was posted on Anta’s official account. Thanks to Wang Ye’s recent explosion in popularity, Anta’s official account now has over ten million followers, so the video gained substantial traffic upon release, being seen by countless people following the matter.

But the result was not as good as Li Weimin imagined.

The video failed to suppress netizens’ speculation; instead, it made them more suspicious of Wang Ye’s exceptional ability, because Anta posting this video at such a time to prove themselves clearly had the odor of "there’s no silver 300 taels here" and the trending topics on platforms like Weibo and Douyin weirdly dropped a place or two. Netizens are not fools; having been nurtured by the internet for years, most now understand how trending topics operate, naturally guessing that Anta’s official hand was in play.

In the comment section,

countless netizens were heatedly discussing topics related to this event.

[Anta even released a special video to prove... Gotta say, their speed is truly quick.]

[This only makes me more doubtful about Wang Ye’s abilities.]

[According to the most credible video at present, Wang Ye’s arm bore at least five tons of weight at that time, which is over fifty times the limit weight an ordinary person can bear...]

[Then here’s the question: when an ordinary person bears a hundred kilograms, they would at least show a strain on their face, even if they don’t show pain. But Wang Ye didn’t have the slightest strained expression, looking like he was just holding a bucket of water.]

[Although the recorded screen isn’t high-quality, a guru repaired it, and after I enlarged it, when Wang Ye grabbed the handlebars, his palm’s skin didn’t even turn red, which means this weight was completely effortless for him.]

[Is his hand made of titanium alloy???]

[Even if, like Anta’s video claims, the motorcycle weighed only fifty pounds, the weight Wang Ye’s arm bore was still not less than a ton. This isn’t a normal person!]

[Of course, this video must be nonsense; which motorcycle weighs fifty pounds, bicycles would be closer to fifty pounds!]

[Damn, is Wang Ye secretly cultivating without us knowing, this is no longer within the realm of carbon-based organisms!]

[Clearly something is hidden, either genetic modification or the revival of spiritual qi.]

[Hearing this makes me quite expectant.]

[Actually, long-time fans of Qi Refining Brother probably know he originally trained in martial arts.]

[Yes, he initially trained in martial arts rather than sports, and his martial arts level wasn’t low. Perhaps it was Chinese martial arts that gave him his strength?]

[Indeed, Wang Ye didn’t participate in any sports competitions initially; he only posted videos online of breaking bricks with martial arts and throwing, which, though not viral, had some recognition.]

[That’s when I started following Qi Refining Brother, never expected him to suddenly become the world’s greatest athlete.]

[Huh? Wang Ye used to train in martial arts?]

[What kind of martial arts? Baji Fist? Iron Sand Palm?]

[Wrong, it’s Tai Chi, that soft and gentle form of boxing.]

[Tai Chi???]

[Tai Chi can have such an effect?]

[I might not believe others saying Tai Chi has a great workout effect, but if you say Wang Ye practiced Tai Chi, then I should research it!]

[Whoa, let me search it!]

So, countless netizens began digging up videos of Wang Ye formerly practicing Tai Chi.

Soon, the first wave of netizens found some of the videos from half a year ago when Wang Ye was still primarily training Tai Chi.

For example, him practicing Tai Chi in the morning at Shenzhen’s Lizhi Park, the match video against the elderly at Shenzhen Tai Chi Association, and even surveillance footage of him playing badminton with the Shenzhen Tai Chi Association president’s secretary, Xiao Yun, were all unearthed, showcasing the formidable research ability of these netizens.

When they saw what was generally considered mere exercise, Tai Chi, miraculously display such destructive force, everyone fell silent.

The four ounces move a thousand pounds from wuxia novels, a light punch that sends a strong man flying, and inner force playing badminton to break the racket, scenarios that sound like fiction turned out to be achievable in reality?

It must be noted, most netizens still hold a concept centered on scientific training, standardizing muscle training through scientific ideas like Western anatomy to improve muscle output efficiency. Meanwhile, ancient martial arts like Tai Chi are generally thought to be only for elderly health care or performances, not combat capabilities, let alone raising human combat abilities to wuxia novel levels.

However, Wang Ye has given them a huge lesson, spreading an incredible notion worldwide — that Chinese martial arts can indeed grant someone superhuman strength.

Once the Tai Chi matter was uncovered, the topic’s popularity surged several levels.

The trending topic, which Anta had barely managed to suppress down a few places, uncontrollably soared back to the top.

Under current societal pressures, everyone wants to escape reality, so all netizens are eagerly curious about whether Wang Ye truly possesses superhuman strength and how he acquired such strength.

Meanwhile, as Li Weimin was overwhelmed,

suddenly, within five short minutes, all trending topics related to the event vanished.

It seemed an invisible giant hand suddenly controlled all internet platforms, obliterating this trending topic.

Li Weimin was immediately shocked at the sight,

To achieve such a feat, the necessary power isn’t something a mere Anta can muster.

There’s a strong possibility top-level figures in the country intervened,

to erase this trending topic across all platforms simultaneously.
