Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 154: Overwhelming Strength

Wang Ye and Brother Zui chatted sporadically for half an hour.

Then, they followed the staff’s instructions to go on stage for an interview.

The so-called interview was basically just two hosts asking for the team name and slogan.

This segment, although seemingly redundant and troublesome, can actually produce great show effects in a live broadcast program aimed at a nationwide audience.

Imagine—bold words spoken publicly, followed by a loss in the competition, creating a strong contrast and a storyline of being proven wrong. Doesn’t this make for better show effect compared to no interview at all?

Under the questioning of the two hosts, Brother Zui used his slightly hoarse and resonant voice to issue a bold declaration in public, saying he would carry the flag of the fitness circle and also make a round trip on the course to win two big refrigerators.

In comparison, Wang Ye’s performance was relatively understated, as he simply and calmly repeated the team slogan.

Although he has participated in many competitions and won several championships, he has hardly ever been interviewed by hosts and is not good at speaking in such public settings.

To make him shout like Brother Zui under the eyes of so many spectators is more painful for him than death.

Seeing this, the male host immediately chimed in, "It seems our Qi Refining Brother has a very steady personality, hahaha, I wonder if he has a chance to win the big refrigerator this time?"

The female host added, "On one side, we have Brother Zui from the fitness circle, and on the other side, there’s Qi Refining Brother, the marathon record holder. Which one do the audience think has a higher chance of winning the big refrigerator?"

Upon hearing this.

The surrounding audience immediately started murmuring.

The barrage volume in the live stream room immediately increased significantly.

"Wow, I didn’t expect Brother Zui and Qi Refining Brother to appear on stage together."

"Who do you think will win the big refrigerator? Or... who can complete the course faster?"

"I think Qi Refining Brother should win; after all, he is the parkour competition champion."

"Brother Zui is not bad either; he was once in the national top ten in Extreme Warrior, and he has special forces background. He was the best in manual climbing in his unit and is not inferior to Qi Refining Brother at all."

"But Qi Refining Brother is a world record holder; how do you even compare?"

"True, but... do the marathon world record and this obstacle challenge have any relation?"

"I admit Qi Refining Brother is amazing, but Brother Zui has an obvious advantage."

··························

··························

The interview segment quickly passed.

Brother Zui was the first to take to the course.

After getting on the stage, he tested the speed of the running conveyor belt with his right foot first.

Then he suddenly accelerated and sprinted, running wildly on the conveyor belt.

Da da da!

The speed at which he exchanged legs was extremely fast; in less than two seconds, he had passed the first obstacle.

With previous experience in challenges, Brother Zui appeared quite composed in this course. After passing the first conveyor belt, he didn’t pause at all and immediately rushed towards the next obstacle: the suspended swing.

He was like a hero from a martial arts novel walking over water with the Wave-Riding Step, completing the second obstacle at nearly sprinting speed. He then swiftly moved towards the third obstacle: the spinning disk.

Most contestants would already begin gasping for big breaths at this point. Even stepping onto the spinning disk, some would lose ankle stability due to exhaustion, resulting in falling into the water.

This entire course is over 100 meters long and requires crossing constantly moving mechanisms, which places high demands on physical endurance. But Brother Zui’s stamina is clearly extraordinary; he sprinted through the third obstacle with only slight breathing.

The host kept narrating the scene and occasionally interjected cheers and screams as Brother Zui passed each checkpoint, stirring up the atmosphere.

Brother Zui gathered strength from his sprint and made a powerful leap to grab the rope in the air.

He then began to swing continuously forward, trying hard to move his body in mid-air.

This section demanded extremely high arm strength and grip strength.

It required pulling and moving one’s body on ropes full of instability factors.

It was equivalent to doing multiple single-arm pull-ups consecutively.

A contestant who could only do three pull-ups would definitely not make it through this section.

But with his extensive experience in manual climbing, Brother Zui didn’t spend too much time on this obstacle.

He eventually cleared the obstacle smoothly,

and immediately ran back through four obstacles to the starting point.

His course completion speed was around 70 seconds one way, approximately 2 minutes for a round trip.

After seeing Brother Zui successfully return,

the host immediately congratulated loudly:

"He did it!"

"Congratulations to Brother Zui for winning two big refrigerators!"

"Brother Zui truly lived up to the audience’s expectations and became the deserved winner.

I wonder what kind of answer Qi Refining Brother will give us next?"

At this moment, countless barrages appeared in the live stream room.

[I didn’t expect Brother Zui to really make a round trip; it seems Qi Refining Brother might really lose this time.]

[A definite lose situation.]

[Unless Qi Refining Brother can also make a round trip like Brother Zui, otherwise he can’t match up to Brother Zui.]

[This really depends on luck; even if Brother Zui had to retry, he might not necessarily complete a round trip again.]

[Brother Zui doesn’t know how to hold back; doesn’t he understand even a bit of the ways of the world?]

[Sigh, I hope Qi Refining Brother doesn’t make any mistakes, because falling in the water would be really embarrassing.]

··························

··························

"Next, let’s welcome Qi Refining Brother to the stage for the challenge!" the female host announced loudly. Her voice was very infectious, capable of raising the emotions and atmosphere among the on-site audience.

Amid the audience’s cheers, Wang Ye stepped onto the starting point of the course one step at a time, then secretly activated the Light Body Technique, instantly lightening his body by dozens of pounds.

Before stepping onto the course, he had already asked Brother Zui’s team to help him record a video, so he only needed to focus on showcasing his strength.

After a brief power accumulation, Wang Ye suddenly stepped onto the slide.

Whoosh!!!

His start was extremely fast; each step’s kicking angle and power point were perfectly executed, instantly turning into a grayish-black afterimage and darting out.

Even on a slide that reduced speed, his sprinting speed seemed as fast as a cheetah; it took less than a second to leap across the over 10-meter slide.

"So fast!" the female host exclaimed.
