Chapter 228: At this very moment, I finally understand the meaning of the Master of Fate challenge!

The next second!

Just as everyone was chattering away discussing this matter, Chu Chen had already arrived at the base of that towering, steep rock face!

The fine morning sunlight spilled onto his calm and composed face, revealing not a hint of nervousness!

At this very moment, his entire person looked extremely relaxed!

That sense of ease didn't look at all like someone about to undertake a life-or-death challenge!

Seeing this expression of his, the audience became even more confused.

Before long, amidst the chorus of discussion, Chu Chen nonchalantly raised his head slowly and gazed at the unreachable cliff top high in the sky!

The next second, he very skillfully reached out his right hand, grabbed a handful of Magnesium Powder from the bag at his waist to rub onto his palm, and then decisively used the index and middle fingers of his right hand to hook into a small depression on the rock face above his head, beginning his "Master of Fate"!

This world has no concept of Free Climbing.

When they saw Chu Chen climbing upward without any protection, many viewers didn't react in time!

However, as time passed and his height increased!

They soon understood what Chu Chen was going to do!

This guy wanted to climb to the top of the cliff!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the live stream's chat exploded instantly, and countless messages surged out like a sudden flood!

【Holy crap...】

【Brothers, Brother Chen... is he actually trying to climb up there?】

【Just climb up like that? How is that possible!】

【The drop of this cliff is at least over 1000 meters!】

【Stop talking, you guys, I've already started getting goosebumps!】

【Oh my god!】

【So the question is, what happens if he can't hold on halfway up and falls down?】

【What else, just start the funeral feast!】

【I finally understand, isn't this that anti-gravity challenge against the heavens that Teacher Chen mentioned?】

At this moment, in the live stream, someone finally noticed the key to the problem!

Once this message appeared, countless agreeing messages surged out once again!

【Yes, yes, yes!】

【Holy crap, so that's it!】

【Why didn't I think of that!】

【Chen Zijin is truly amazing, he really called it! This is indeed an anti-gravity challenge!】

The reason Free Climbing is called Master of Fate is primarily because, throughout the entire challenge, everything is driven by the challenger's subjective initiative!

The method, route, strategy, and even mindset you choose are all the factors that determine success or failure.

To put it plainly, your life is in your own hands!

Whether you can succeed is determined by you yourself!

It has nothing to do with the external environment!

This is the core philosophical concept of Master of Fate, and it is also what makes it unique from other challenges!

If other challenges are about seeking survival within danger, then Master of Fate is the process of seeking danger within survival and then overcoming it.

Only if you can do all of this as you wish can you grasp the true meaning of life from it and subsequently complete your own Nirvana!

"Hoo!"

The sound of breathing came rhythmically, making people involuntarily tense their nerves.

At this very moment, the chat in the live stream had completely quieted down, with only a few sparse messages still scrolling by!

The rest of the people were all watching the live stream with rapt attention!

Throughout the entire climbing process, Chu Chen was consciously controlling his breathing rhythm every single moment!

Because he had mastered the divine skill of Free Climbing, his hand and foot coordination was also extremely proficient!

Whether it was the application of climbing techniques or the handling of every rock placement, it could be called perfect!

Even those rock holds that could only accommodate a single finger could not stump him at all!

After such a sequence of operations, in just a short while, he had climbed another seventy or eighty meters!

Right now, the height he was at was certainly not worth mentioning compared to the entire rock face!

But in reality, a height of seventy or eighty meters was already very high!

Even if you pulled your gaze back, you could easily see his figure going against the heavens on the massive rock face.

To be fair, this scene was truly shocking!

Especially with the backdrop of the Waterfall nearby, the visual impact was directly maxed out!

Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream screamed crazily once again!

【Holy crap, he's that high already!】

【I don't dare to watch anymore, brothers...】

【My mom is kneeling and watching the live stream with me!】

【At this very moment, I finally understand the meaning of this Master of Fate challenge...】

【How spectacular!】

【Damn, how is he climbing up there!】

【That must be seventy or eighty meters, right?!】

"Won't you die if you fall down?"

"What are you thinking? You'll definitely die!"

"Brothers, this is truly too thrilling!"

At this moment, not only the official livestream room, but also the livestream rooms of several other continents and those on major video streaming platforms were all a scene of lively activity!

If one were to really calculate it!

Excluding remote regions like Baha, there were over ten billion people worldwide (the population scale of this parallel world is different) continuously watching this livestream of Chu Chen!

……

……

……

At the same time!

North Atlantic Ocean!

Baha!

Inside a mountaintop villa on a certain nameless small island!

The villa was built against the mountain.

It covered an area of at least several thousand square meters; looking at it from afar, it was like a luxurious palace!

Walking through the main gate of the villa, the first thing that came into view was a very spacious foyer!

On both sides of the foyer stood rows of Rome columns!

The circular arched window overhead was inlaid with colored glass, forming iridescent light and shadows when the sunlight shone in.

Just as Tailunsi and his two personal bodyguards walked in, a butler dressed in British style met them and led them into a luxuriously decorated reception room!

The facilities and displays in the room were very exquisite, in that very typical Europe ancient castle style.

The patterns on every floor tile were hand-painted by top craftsmen, and one could tell at a glance that they were worth a fortune.

After the group arrived, the butler immediately pushed an old man in a suit sitting in a wheelchair out from a room inside the reception room.

The old man looked to be only fifty or sixty years old, full of vigor, but for some reason, he was sitting in a wheelchair.

He had the typical appearance of a white man, with triangular eyes and a hooked nose, carrying the demeanor of a capitalist.

As soon as Tailunsi and his party saw him, without a word, they immediately bowed to him respectfully, and only stood up straight again after a long while!

After he stood up, the old man glanced at him, then asked in a deep voice:

"How did that matter I entrusted to you go?"

Hearing this, Tailunsi dared not delay and hurriedly said: "I have already conveyed your intentions to him, but that guy doesn't seem to want to cooperate with us..."
