Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1042 The Little Overlord Lifts the Cauldron

Big Iron Hammer walked slowly to the side of the big cauldron, put one hand on the edge of the cauldron's mouth, turned to look at Shao Yu, "How about it, do you still plan to continue the competition?"

The implication is that he hopes Shao Yu will retreat when he sees the difficulties.

Of course, Shao Yu would not back down. He knew that he was far from a master in a competition with force, but he would not be intimidated by anyone in a simple competition of strength.

Big Iron Hammer's sinewy body looked deceptive, but Shao Yu didn't think he was stronger than the Wushuang Ghost against the quicksand.

"Of course!"

"Good boy!" Big Iron Hammer admired Shao Yu's unruliness, "Then I'll do it first."

As he spoke, Big Iron Hammer knelt down half-kneeling, grabbed one ear of the cauldron with one hand, and held one foot of the cauldron with one hand below. He shouted loudly, and the knotted muscles all over his body suddenly swelled and tightened. The color of the already red skin rose further.

"Hey ah!"

The big cauldron rose up in response, and was lifted cleanly over its head by the big iron hammer, sideways on its body.

He turned around twice and showed off to the Mohist disciples around him to show that he was not forced to carry it.

When all the Mohist disciples who were watching saw this scene, they all cheered and applauded the power of the big hammer.

Several Mohist disciples around Tianming praised him one after another, "Commander Tie's strength is really beyond boasting, it's really great!"

"No, I think there aren't many people in the world who can match his strength."

After the display was completed, Big Hammer threw his raised arms forward and threw the tripod to the ground.

Along the smooth floor tiles, the cauldron slid in the direction of Shao Yu, plowing out several ravines with messy gravel along the way.

Shao Yu raised his hand to easily block the remaining force of the cauldron and stopped it in front of him.

Sledgehammer said again, "It's still too late to give up now, don't force it."

This is not because Sledgehammer is deliberately hitting his opponent, he is completely out of good intentions.

Carrying the cauldron is not just about arm-wrestling. If you don't have the strength but try to force yourself, you may suffer a loss of energy at least, or you may be injured at worst. If it is particularly serious, your life may be in danger.

And Shaoyu looked very reluctant now - it was not a matter of strength. He was standing in front of the tripod, and he was not even taller than the tripod!
  In this case, he could not hold the upper and lower ends at the same time and exert balanced force like a big hammer, and the body of the tripod was smooth and there was nowhere to grab it, so he could only exert force from the bottom of the tripod.

But when exerting force from the bottom, he couldn't hold both tripod legs at the same time. Basically, he could only exert force on one leg.

Lifting such a heavy thing with one side of the force is indeed dangerous.

To be more precise, carrying the tripod itself is dangerous enough. For details, please refer to a certain unnamed Qin Wu King Ying Dang.

Shao Yu looked around the cauldron up, down, left, and right, and found that there was really no extra point for him to exert force.

Okay, if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. It’s the same with just hugging your legs.

Shao Yu didn't pay much attention. After loosening his muscles and bones, he lowered his waist, stretched out his hands to wrap around one of the cauldron's feet, and began to exert force.

The sledgehammer frowned as he watched from the side - it was very awkward to grab one foot to exert force, but this boy also used a hug method... It was convenient to use force, but the center of gravity was very unstable!

However, he didn't say anything to stop him, because he didn't think this kid could hold up the big cauldron. Using this force to exert force in this position would at most make him breathless and uncomfortable for two days, but there was no big danger.

Then, he saw the way a certain overlord lifted the cauldron.

"Ha! Wake me up!"

With a low roar, Shao Yu's waist and legs suddenly exerted force, directly causing cracks in the floor. The cauldron rose up in response and was thrown high by him, several feet away from the ground.

After turning around in the air, the momentum of the cauldron completely weakened, and it began to accelerate and fall under the influence of gravity, hitting Shao Yu on the ground.     "Hiss..."

This horrifying scene made the onlookers stunned and gasped.

He was shocked by the young man's great strength, but also worried that the young man would be crushed to death by the cauldron.

Compared with the strength required to lift a tripod and throw it, catching a large tripod falling from high altitude is the most difficult, and not just a little bit more difficult.

Seeing this scene, Big Iron Hammer subconsciously wanted to pull Shao Yu away, but he still stopped after hesitating.

In any case, he cannot unilaterally terminate the other party's behavior, even though his method is a bit special.

In the blink of an eye, the big cauldron fell and hit Shao Yu on the head.

"Hoo!" Shao Yu raised his hands and caught the cauldron carrying a large amount of potential energy without moving. Then he immediately bent his knees and squatted down to relieve his strength.

Kaka...

With a crisp sound, a large area of ​​floor tiles under Shao Yu's feet disintegrated and shattered under the impact of the cauldron falling, splitting into ravines.

Then, Shao Yu, who was already completely in a crouching position, finally got rid of the extra momentum, gritted his teeth and stood up slowly while carrying the cauldron.

Obviously, it was tough, but he got through it.

clang!
  After completing the act of lifting the cauldron, Shao Yu threw the cauldron back to the ground. The dull impact suddenly woke up the stunned onlookers, followed by a burst of even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

This young man really accomplished this feat that they thought was impossible to succeed at all, and he deserved it.

Such a series of big movements obviously consumed a lot of Shao Yu. He looked at the big hammer with sweat on his face, "How about it, continue?"

Big Iron Hammer shook his head, looked at Shao Yu with a fearful look, and replied with emotion, "No need."

"This tripod weighs two thousand five hundred kilograms. I didn't succeed in lifting it until I was eighteen years old. You are only fourteen now."

"you win!"

With Sledgehammer admitting defeat calmly, the winner of this competition was finally born, and the surrounding onlookers began to cheer for the winner again.

Shaoyu grinned happily and clasped his fists left and right in response.

It can be seen that he is very proud now, but for a fourteen-year-old boy, this kind of frivolity is exactly what he should be.

But adults often have to go through more polite procedures.

At this time, Xiang Liang took a few steps forward and saluted the big hammer, "Young and frivolous young man, I don't know the heights of the world. Brother Tie has given in to me."

This can't be said to be hypocritical, it can only be said to be etiquette. After all, I am the proprietor and I still have to save face.

Shao Yu on the side secretly curled his lips when he heard this, disapproving of it.

He won openly and honestly, and there was no way he would give in or not.

Fortunately, although Shao Yu had a flamboyant personality, at least he did not dismantle his uncle in public, so he pretended that he did not hear this.

Sledgehammer was born in the army and has a straightforward and upright temperament. He took the fact that he lost to a young man in a competition very openly and had no grudges. He responded with a smile, "Brother Xiang Liang is too polite."

"If you, the Xiang clan, have such outstanding backbones, you will definitely not let the empire have a good life in the future, hahaha..."

As a former officer of the Yan Kingdom, Big Iron Hammer had countless comrades killed at the hands of the imperial army. Coupled with his own reckless and fiery temper, he was basically the most determined anti-imperialist within the Mohist family.
