Chapter 233: A Perfect Upside-Down Hook, Shocking the Top Mountaineers!
Seeing this scene, the barrage in the live stream room increased again before anyone realized it!
【Holy shit!!!】
【Truly fucking extreme! Badass!】
【Too showy!】
【Brother Chen, were you bitten by a gecko before?】
【This guy is definitely not from Earth, he's too heaven-defying, holy shit!】
【Truly absurd!】
【No way, how did he even manage that!?】
【My heart is about to jump out, and he's not even panicked at all?】
【Feels like this is just a basic operation for Chu Chen!】
……
Facing this challenge that far exceeded the extreme sports level of this world, every viewer in the live stream room was greatly shocked!
They could never have dreamed that a person's finger strength could be exaggerated to such a degree!
Just now, when Chu Chen was climbing upward, the Micro Sky Eye camera also gave his fingers a close-up!
Based on this close-up, the viewers could clearly see the contact surface between his fingers and the rock wall; it was not even one centimeter, at most only a few millimeters!
But even so, he could still use this as a support point to carry his entire body upward!
In this process, his body's core strength, sense of balance, center of gravity control, and even every heartbeat had to be consistent with his movements, without the slightest error!
Otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted!
This is why Free Climbing is called the most dangerous extreme sport by countless extreme athletes.
The reason is right here!
Not only is the margin for error unimaginably low, but the psychological pressure borne by the climber throughout the entire challenge is also incomparable to other sports!
From the moment the challenge begins, you must ensure that you cannot make a mistake in every subsequent step!
This rock wall of Angel Waterfall, even if placed on the Earth of the previous life, would have a difficulty rating of no less than VII; those who could successfully complete the challenge could be counted on one hand!
If it were not so, they would not have reacted so strongly.
Because the level of extreme sports in this world is still very backward compared to Earth!
For those who have never seen Free Climbing, the shock brought by Angel Waterfall is truly imaginable!
The next second!
After moving up one body length, Chu Chen did not stop there, but continued to reach out his left hand, gently hooking into a small depression above his head!
Only after confirming the rock point was one hundred percent reliable did his right hand slowly pull out from the previous hole, then move all the way to his armpit, using the heel of his palm to brace against the rock wall.
In this way, both his left and right hands had a support point.
Relying on these two support points, Chu Chen first lifted his right foot, raised his knee to step into the previous rock crevice, and then his left foot followed the same operation as before!
But due to limited space, this rock crevice could not fully accommodate his toes.
For now, he could only use this as a temporary support, and make other plans after completely conquering this flat surface!
Climbing all the way to here, the most difficult part of the entire large flat surface had been completely left behind by Chu Chen; as long as he made full use of the two rock points directly in front, he would soon break through!
But the key to the problem lies precisely here.
Because behind these two rock points, the shape of the rock wall suddenly became uneven, protruding significantly and blocking the way.
The left and right sides were the same.
The reason for this should be due to gravity, which caused the original rock strata to undergo this change.
Facing such a situation, conventional climbing methods were no longer effective.
He could only adopt the method of reverse hanging to continue upward.
This climbing method is vastly different from traditional Free Climbing because the movements are truly too exaggerated.
Many times, people are more willing to categorize this type of movement under Bouldering.
So-called Bouldering is actually a type of rock climbing.
It is just different from conventional rock climbing in its form of expression.
Bouldering emphasizes the aesthetic of the movements, and the movements used are all very exaggerated, large-scale climbing actions!
Based on this point, Bouldering usually requires very complete protective measures.
Otherwise, the margin for error is too low.
At this very moment, many viewers in the live stream room also noticed this change before them!
【Holy shit, how is it possible to climb up this!】
【Too badass, holy shit!】
【Except for flying, I can't think of any other way to get over this rock!】
【Go Brother Chen!】
The next second!
Just as a large wave of barrage scrolled past, Chu Chen used these two rock points to climb to the bottom of that rock!
These two rock points were not difficult.
At the same time, they were also very reliable!
After arriving at the spot, Chu Chen very easily used these two points to stabilize his body!
Because many rock points on the large flat surface provided very limited gripping space, his waist and core had been in a tightened state throughout the entire climbing process, and only now did he relax slightly.
However, Chu Chen did not stop his steps there.
After catching his breath, he directly turned his body, his left and right hands respectively grabbing the two depressions above his head in reverse, turning his whole body around!
After this, he first lifted his right foot to hook onto a rock point from the side, then followed with his left foot, and only after ensuring three points were stable did he Flip his body to embrace the entire rock!
At this moment, through the livestream camera, one could clearly see the sense of Force erupting from every inch of Chu Chen's muscles!
Even those in the audience who do not understand the sport of Free Climbing could see the high value of this move!
If placed in a past life, this could absolutely be called a textbook-level Bouldering move!
Even if you looked at it with a magnifying glass, you wouldn't find any flaws!
【Holy crap, that's too awesome!】
【This Force is too exaggerated; I feel like God Chu could lift me up with one hand!】
【Is this what they call the legendary Reverse Hanging Hook?】
【Too amazing, God Chu!】
【The strongest man on the surface of the earth!】
【These muscles are truly explosive!】
【Although I don't understand this sport, I can tell that this move isn't something just anyone could do!】
【Too cool, I took a screenshot!】
【I took a screenshot too!】

……
At the same time!
Yingguo, London!
At this moment, the world's top Mountaineering athlete Pierce was sitting on the sofa in his home, watching Chu Chen's livestream with rapt attention!
Although the development level of extreme sports in this world is very backward, there are still many excellent athletes, especially in Mountaineering, and Pierce is one of them!
As a legendary figure renowned in the Mountaineering world, he once possessed countless remarkable achievements.
He was even the first person in the history of human civilization to climb the Alps!
Before Chu Chen, he was the undisputed Mountaineering god in people's minds!
He is known to the world for his tenacious perseverance, superb technique, and fearless courage.
In the eyes of countless Mountaineering enthusiasts, every one of his climbs is a fierce contest with nature and a brave challenge to human limits!
Regarding this challenge by Chu Chen, Pierce had originally only held the mindset of watching casually, but after watching the whole way through, Chu Chen's actions completely overturned his understanding of Mountaineering!
He never dreamed that in this world, there would actually be someone who would challenge such a harsh rock face in this unprotected way, and still be able to do it with such ease?
Especially when seeing Chu Chen complete a support using only his fingertips, Pierce couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he truly wouldn't have dared to imagine that a person could rely on such a tiny contact area to support the weight of their entire body!
In Pierce's understanding, this was simply an impossible task.
It could even be said to be an existence that violates common sense in physics!
Until now, Pierce still hadn't recovered from the shock just now!
He watched with his own eyes as Chu Chen's fingers, like precision instruments, accurately found that tiny, almost negligible support point!
Then, he steadily distributed the weight of his body upon it.
At that moment, Pierce's mind went completely blank!
He could not understand how Chu Chen managed such precise control and balance.
In his many years of a Mountaineering career, he had never seen anyone reach such a realm.
At this moment, in the livestream footage, Chu Chen was like a nimble leopard, tightly adhered to that rock!
Because the posture was truly too exaggerated, every inch of his muscles was filled with Force and beauty!
Seeing this scene, Pierce muttered to himself: "This is truly incredible..."
His voice was filled with shock and doubt.
This time, in order to see every detail more clearly, he couldn't help but lean his body forward, as if that would allow him to see the details in this move of Chu Chen's more clearly!
The next second!
When he saw Chu Chen's way of exerting Force clearly, Pierce's understanding collapsed instantly!
He widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and the whole person stared at the screen motionless, as if frozen.
His heart was filled with awe and amazement!
Because this way of climbing had completely exceeded his imagination.
He had once thought he stood at the peak of the Mountaineering world and had seen all kinds of high-difficulty climbing techniques, but Chu Chen's performance made him realize that everything he previously possessed and knew was merely the tip of the iceberg of Mountaineering.
Watching Chu Chen in the footage, Pierce's breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently!
His eyes were filled with fanaticism and worship, as if he had seen the goal he had pursued his whole life!
He truly could not believe that there was such a powerful mountaineer in this world.
In his view, every one of Chu Chen's movements was like writing a legend, a legend about courage, perseverance, and transcending limits!
"This guy is truly a genius!"
Pierce's voice trembled, his heart filled with deep shock!
At this moment, he began to reflect on his own Mountaineering career!
At this moment, those achievements he once took pride in instantly paled in comparison to Chu Chen's radiance!
At this moment, he realized that he still had a long way to go and many unknown realms waiting for him to explore!
Thinking of this, Pierce couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the room incessantly.
His mood could not be calmed for a long time!
The image of Chu Chen climbing played back in his mind continuously!
Recalling every detail, he felt more and more that the gold content of Chu Chen's climbing style was simply immeasurable!
First, being able to complete a hold using only the fingertips requires extremely powerful finger strength and precise control!
In this way, the pressure borne by each fingertip is immense!
Under such circumstances, to still maintain stability and continue climbing upward, one certainly could not accomplish it without superhuman physical and mental qualities!
Secondly, finding balance on such tiny support points requires precise mastery of every subtle movement of the body.
This not only requires the climber to possess keen observation and judgment, but also requires rich practical experience and deep technical foundation.
Finally, the Reverse Hanging Hook climbing style is full of risks and challenges!
In a hanging state, the climber needs to overcome the influence of gravity while also maintaining the body's balance and stability!
This requires very strong core strength and excellent coordination; the slightest carelessness could lead to serious consequences.
The climbing methods he used are not only a breakthrough in technique, but also an ultimate test of human courage and perseverance!
At the same time, it also shows the whole world the infinite potential that humans burst forth with when facing extreme challenges!
If he can succeed in this challenge, it will not only be a personal glory, but also the pride of the entire Mountaineering world!
His performance will inspire countless Mountaineering enthusiasts to challenge themselves and pursue higher goals!
The more Pierce thought about it, the more excited he became, and he was immersed in this reverie for a long time, unable to extricate himself!
……

……
At the same time!
Venezuela, Angel Waterfall!
In order to move upward better, after hugging the entire rock, Chu Chen did not relax, but still followed the basic rules of the Three-Step Climbing Method!
Move the right hand first, then the left hand, and then move both feet!
According to this basic rule, he soon had the entire rock under his feet and continued to advance toward the summit!
At this time, the rock points on the cliff face became more numerous again.
Relying on these rock points, Chu Chen quickly broke through the 500-meter height and entered the second half of the challenge!
【Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Kevin Durant!】
【Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Zhao Hongxu!】
【Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×100 from Gao Ping!】
【Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×20 from Liu Yulong!】
【Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×20 from Li Bo!】
……
……
……
Because that wave of operations just now was truly too eye-catching, during this period, the system notification sounds in Chu Chen's mind had not stopped!
Almost every second, countless notification sounds rang out from thin air!
Hearing these notification sounds, Chu Chen roughly checked the Shock Value on the panel.
As expected, the Shock Value indeed ushered in an unprecedented surge, and it had already broken through 1.5 billion, currently marching toward the 2 billion mark!
According to the current progress, there should be no problem in meeting the mission requirements before the competition ends!
