Chapter 237: Do it well and you get a body full of dust; do it poorly and you get a box of ashes!

~7 min read 1,239 words

The three difficulties on this final stretch of the road are like three insurmountable mountains; to reach the summit, one must face them.

He took a glance at the peak.

Chu Chen's gaze was extremely resolute.

But in order to make a better push for the summit, he did not rush, instead choosing a rock point that could only accommodate both feet at once, letting go with his hands, pressing his body tightly against the rock wall, and using this time as much as possible to alleviate the pain in his fingers caused by long-term gripping.

At this moment, the camera of the Micro Sky Eye was filming from a bird's-eye view above his head.

Through the lens, the audience could clearly see the primeval forest beneath his feet, the rushing Waterfall at his side, and his incomparably resolute gaze!

At this scene, countless viewers were moved and began to send barrage comments:

【This is so damn shocking!】

【I really can't imagine that a person could climb all the way here in one go without carrying any protective gear!】

【Awesome, my brother!】

【Just looking at it makes my legs shake uncontrollably!】

【Big boss, please accept my knees!】

【If all eight challenges of this Extreme Eight Items are completed, what will happen?】

【I don't know, the Expert Group said it would grant Nirvana, but I think it should unlock the Gene Lock!】

【My hands are covered in sweat right now!】

【Some say true bravery is not putting oneself in danger, so I want to ask, what does this count as?】

【He is an exception! A man who could have several episodes of Into Science filmed about him; it really can't be explained!】

【This guy's brain definitely lacks a fear center; he is certainly not a normal person!】

At this moment, the barrage in the live stream reached an unprecedented climax, completely swallowing Chu Chen's image in a dense mass!

The next second.

After a short rest, Chu Chen set off on his journey again, using three or five rock points in succession to easily reach that crevice.

These rock points were very secure, enough for him to anchor his body.

After arriving, he did not continue immediately, but first caught his breath, then immediately released his left hand from the rock point and reached back to grab a handful from the Magnesium Powder Bag quite casually!

Only after confirming there was no problem with the friction at his fingertips did he reach his hand into the crevice and firmly grasp the edge!

He secured this point.

His right hand performed the same operation!

The space inside this crevice was just enough to accommodate half a palm, so there would be no problem using it as support.

Immediately following, while maintaining this posture, he adjusted his feet to a more comfortable angle and pressed his body tightly against the rock wall!

In this way, as long as he moved his hands along the crevice, he could move his body upward bit by bit!

To conquer this section, he needed to maintain this posture throughout and completely change his way of exerting Force!

Changing the familiar crimp into a pull to maintain the body's balance!

This climbing method consumed a great deal of physical stamina.

Every step upward was more strenuous than a normal grip.

But Free Climbing is just like this.

Because it is impossible to create rock points.

All climbing methods must be adapted randomly according to the existing situation.

After climbing three or five meters like this, Chu Chen stopped again and added a bit more Magnesium Powder to the palms of both hands!

At this time, due to the prolonged exertion, dark red blood color appeared on his forearms, and every inch of muscle revealed a unique texture under the irradiation of the sunlight!

Taking this opportunity, the viewers in the live stream also deeply realized the difficulty of this climbing method and began to send barrage comments:

【This posture feels so hard!】

【His arm strength is truly strong!】

【Too awesome, holy crap!】

【Do it well and you get a body full of dust; do it poorly and you get a box of ashes!】

【Watching this live stream has my hands and feet sweating the whole time! Too exciting!】

【Brothers, it doesn't look that hard, actually...】

【????】

【Big brother, how did you manage to say that!】

【Courage traded for the loss of intelligence?】

【I can tell you responsibly, even if someone told me it was one hundred percent safe, I wouldn't dare to climb up!!!】

【Don't talk about one hundred percent safe; even if you gave me another Life, I wouldn't dare to do this! It's damn scary just to look at!】

As the challenge deepened, the volume of barrage comments in the live stream had reached a terrifying level!

If they weren't filtered, one wouldn't be able to see the live stream footage at all!

Amidst the discussion, after a brief adjustment, Chu Chen continued to challenge the second difficulty of the summit push!

After getting used to this climbing method, his movements became more solid!

Every step was very steady, and in less than half an hour, he successfully exited the crevice and arrived at the traverse position!

"Whoosh!"

Because the Waterfall was right next to him, the sound of Water all around was very loud.

Looking through the falling curtain of Water, one could clearly see that on the right hand side was a rock wall with a ninety-degree angle!

The rock points above were fairly friendly, but to get there, one needed to perform an airborne crimp to achieve it.

Seeing Chu Chen stop again, the barrage of comments flooded the screen once more.

【Nani?】

【What's the situation? Why did he stop again?】

【Finally, I can catch my breath...】

【God Chu is reminding us to hurry up and catch our breath!】

【For someone like me who gets sweaty palms easily, I can basically announce my retirement from this sport!】

【Friendly reminder, you can actually breathe here!】

After roughly observing the situation on the opposite side of the Waterfall, Chu Chen caught his breath, then first checked the three anchor points in front of him, and only after confirming that every anchor point was extremely secure did he refocus his gaze on the rock holds of the opposite cliff face and assume a preparatory stance for jumping!

Seeing this scene, many viewers realized the gravity of the situation!

But before they could even make a sound, Chu Chen had already passed through the Waterfall under their gaze and leaped toward the opposite cliff face!

【Holy crap!】

【Damn!】

【What the f—!】

【What's going on?】

【Ah???】

Accompanied by the shouting and chaotic barrage of comments in the livestream room, Chu Chen also successfully performed a mid-air leap hundreds of meters up the cliff face, passing through that Waterfall!

"Whoosh!"

Countless droplets of Water rushed toward his face, obscuring part of his vision without any suspense!

It only became clear again after a moment.

But by this time, the opposite cliff face was already close at hand.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately followed his previous prediction, lunging toward the predetermined position, and his hands firmly grabbed two rock holds on the opposite cliff face!

But due to the excessive impact, these two anchor points only stabilized his upper body and did not stabilize his feet, instead sliding downward for a distance before barely stopping by relying on friction!
