Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 147 Handstand
While everyone was chatting, the wrestling match over there was still going on, with no winner yet.

Zhou Leng looked at that place and asked, "Was it like this before?"

"It's the same. There's no clear winner. In the end, everyone just rushes up and no one can get through."

Zhou Leng didn't want to just wait and waste time.

After a brief thought, he used the magic watch to send a message to the Molten Hammer.

Rongchui read it twice and said, "Can you and Zhang Xinglie do it?"

"Winning or losing doesn't matter, the main thing is I don't want to just stand there and watch."

"it is good!"

Molten Hammer squeezed into the crowd and shouted cheers.

After a while, Molten Hammer yelled, "Can you two do this? You're just wasting your time, you weaklings!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at Molten Hammer.

Molten Hammer continued to shout: "My friends, Grandfather's treasure is about to be closed. If we continue to wrestle like stupid orcs, there will be no winner in the end. I think we should try a smarter way and not let the orcs laugh at us for being stupid."

"Well, do you have any good ideas?" the dwarves asked one after another.

Even the two people who were wrestling stopped.

Molten Hammer said, "I just came up with an extremely clever and difficult method. Even if the orcs saw it, they would praise it loudly and would not dare to disobey."

"That's what you said!"

Molten Hammer laughed and said, "Let's all compete in handstands."

"Pooh!"

"Fool..."

The dwarves started to boo.

Molten Hammer was not in a hurry. He raised his right index finger and continued to shout, "Stand upside down, but use only one index finger. Do not bend it, and do not use blood or true energy! If you can't hold on, you will be disqualified if you fall to the ground. The last twenty people who hold on can go on stage. How about it?"

"One-finger handstand?"

“It doesn’t seem that difficult.”

"Try not to bend your fingers."

"But humans seem to be in trouble. Our dwarven bodies... are more refined and easier to work with."

"The Molten Hammer has brains and has expelled all the humans. I agree!"

"I agree!"

"All dwarves should agree."

Soon, all the dwarves shouted in agreement. Since humans were so few in number, they had no choice but to obey.

Rongchui glanced at Zhou Leng, then turned back and said complacently, "Okay, now everyone stand on your hands. I'll count to three, and then you can stand on one finger. Whoever's fingers are bent or fall to the ground will be considered a failure. The one who falls to the ground first will be the referee to supervise the others. Everyone, be more self-disciplined and don't cheat."

"Can't, can't..."

"Everyone, put down your things first." Molten Hammer said as he took off his weapons.

The others also put down the things they were carrying.

"Ready...handstand!"

Molten Hammer yelled, and everyone turned over and stood on their heads.

Everyone present was a practitioner, and they did it with ease, with a normal look on their faces.

"Start now, do a handstand on your index finger!"

Following the second shout from Molten Hammer, everyone slowly tried to do a one-finger handstand.

Just a second later, someone suddenly shouted.

"Ouch, that's not right..."

With a thud, the man fell to the ground.

"I told you it's not easy!"

"Melting Hammer is really smart. This is much more fun than boring wrestling. We can do this again when we return to the tribe."

"This is a good way to train your balance. Don't even think about it until you're training your body."

The group of dwarves were also busy during the competition, talking and shouting loudly.

People failed one after another.

"Hey, it's really hard to make a single finger straight."

“I can’t find the balance.”

"It's difficult, it's difficult..."

"Your fingers are bent, admit defeat now and stop pretending..."

"You caused the blood rage, and we didn't expect you to notice it? Get down here!"

Zhou Leng looked at the other members of the team. Except for the half hammer that was about to collapse, the rest were very stable.

Zhang Xinglie focused and easily kept his fingers, arms and body straight.

After a while, Banchui fell down and said, "I can't do it anymore."

The other four dwarves laughed and mocked, while Half Hammer blushed and said nothing.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the end there were still more than 40 people who maintained this posture, and there was still no winner.

Zhou Leng winked at Rong Hammer.

The upside-down Molten Hammer understood what he meant and turned around to look around.

Then I saw dwarves or humans standing on the ground like straight logs.

He shouted loudly: "I never thought that our dwarves are so powerful. Until now, there is no winner. The dwarves are really too strong."

"Don't brag so much. We still have humans. Only four humans left? Well, we dwarves are indeed strong."

The dwarves looked around and saw that only four humans, Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, Lou Feiqiong and Jax, continued to do the one-finger handstand.

Those failed body-training masters shook their heads helplessly.

Mark, who was in the late stage of body refining, also failed. He looked at the four people who were still upside down and sighed in his heart.

The actual combat capabilities of many of them are stronger than these four.

However, they are either too big or focus too much on a certain martial art or fighting style, resulting in poor overall body coordination.

Or, the foundation is not solid. There is not much difference in normal combat, but in this kind of unconventional fight, the shortcomings are infinitely magnified.

Essentially, it is because the body has not been trained to its full potential and is unable to perform various extreme movements.

One-finger handstand seems very pure.

In fact, it tests strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and other physical qualities, none of which can be missing.

Jax has a head of dry yellow hair and is standing on one finger. His heart is not beating and he is not out of breath. He is worthy of being a top student of Princeton University, the first in the Eagle Alliance.

But, he is a sophomore.

He actually had enough energy to wave to Mark with his left hand.

Mark immediately walked over, squatted, and lowered his head slightly. Jax whispered, "I underestimated those two people. I suspect that they are probably also for... a secret trial that only a few chaebols know about. Next, you stay in the Dragon Kingdom and investigate the two of them. Once you confirm that they are going to participate in the Giant Trial, notify me immediately."

Mark asked in a low voice: "Do you want to..." Then he gently moved his right palm downward.

Jax shook his head and said, "Wait for now. These two people were able to get out of prison and get the protection of General Giant Furnace. Even if their backgrounds are not from the Dragon Kingdom's military clan, they are not far behind. If you touch ordinary people in the Dragon Kingdom, no one will pursue you, but it will be difficult to touch people with big power."

"Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Not far away, Rongchui shouted loudly: "Since everyone is an expert and can't tell the winner, then let's increase the difficulty. Do you dare?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Come on, let's compete the way you say!"

"Put on some intense action. I almost fell asleep. It was too relaxing."

Molten Hammer said, "Okay, then use your index finger as your leg and your knuckles as your knees, and do single-finger squats, one by one, until there are only twenty left. Do you dare?"

“This difficulty is a bit high.”

"It's fun! It looks easy, but it's actually very difficult. I'm willing to do it."

"Since we can't tell the winner this way, let's do the one-finger squat!"

"Come on, come on, let's count the molten hammers. Whoever is afraid is the one raised by the tentacle beast."

"Come!"

Molten Hammer said loudly: "Okay. Let's start... Ouch..."

After Rong Hammer finished speaking, he bent his fingers and could not stand up straight. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

For a moment, many people exclaimed.

In this first finger squat, seven people failed.

“Is it so difficult?”

Many people who had failed long ago were extremely surprised. Those seven dwarves were all well-known masters of body training in the dwarf world.

Both the molten hammer and the ale fell to the ground.

As the Molten Hammer walked, he shouted, "Next, two!"

The remaining people squat with one finger again.

This time, many people trembled, and only remained still after they stood upright.

"three!"

"Four...Five!"

Three dwarves fell to the ground.

When the count reached 22, Jax of the Troupe tycoon fell to the ground, gasping for breath, sweating profusely, and looked at the other three humans who were standing upside down.

When he counted to 27, Lou Feiqiong could no longer hold on and sat on the ground, looking at Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie.

All humans looked at Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie.

Tu Rong was sweating profusely and wished he could go back in time and break his legs.

The potential of this Zhou Leng is so terrifying that he has surpassed the masters trained by the chaebols and military tycoons. He has soared to the sky and can compete with the top players in the national list.

Zhao Le had known about Zhang Xinglie's strength for a long time, so it was not surprising at all.

He stared at Zhou Leng.

He never expected that Zhou Leng could not only pronounce the divine text, but also had terribly strong physical fitness.

As the hammer continued counting, when it counted to 50, the st person fell to the ground.

Molten Hammer shouted: "There are 20 people left..."

A handstand dwarf shouted, "Keep going! I want to see who can do the most single-finger squats in the end."

Molten Hammer laughed and said, "Okay, let's supervise together!"

Everyone immediately became interested and started shouting together.

"51..." At first the shouts were sparse.

As time went by, more and more people failed.

"107..." The number of people counting began to increase.

There are only 9 people left on the field.

2 humans, 7 dwarves.

"313, 314, 315, 316..." Many people shouted and counted.

Another dwarf fell to the ground and lay there, gasping for breath.

Only five people left.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie were among them.

Everyone looked at the five people excitedly.

The five people were no longer as relaxed as before. Sweat was pouring down their bodies, their faces were flushed, and their breathing was rapid.

Molten Hammer suddenly shouted, "Great! The top five have been decided, and this test is over. These five are collectively known as the Five Heroes of Grandfather Mountain. Let's applaud them!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, some were dissatisfied, some were confused, but they all applauded.

Some people vaguely understand what the molten hammer does.

If it is a normal game, winning or losing doesn’t matter.

But this is Grandfather Mountain, the Tomb of the Furnace of Mountains. If the human race really takes first place, will the dwarves still have any face left?
Moreover, since the dwarves are willing to allow humans to participate in the treasure hunt, it would be bad for humans to take the lead.

"Okay!" Zhang Xinglie always said that he had a low emotional intelligence, but he was the first to roll over and land on the ground.

Zhou Leng followed down.

The other three dwarves landed one after another.

The five people first move their whole body and then circulate their anger blood or qi blood to eliminate fatigue and damage to the body.

The way the dwarves looked at Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie was very different from before.

"No wonder General Julu values him so much."

"Long Hammer, where do these two people come from?"

Molten Hammer smiled and said, "One is a top student at Yunhua, the first university of the human race, and the other is a demon mower. He has killed countless demons in the Demon City and even killed several orcs who are descendants of demigods."

"No wonder……"

Soon, everyone finished their rest.

Molten Hammer said, "Please ask the top 20 friends to go up the stairs and try to get to the Grandfather's platform one by one."

"I'll go first." An impatient dwarf shouted and rushed forward.

The rest of the people walked forward slowly.

All the others followed behind, slowly going up on stage and putting some distance between themselves and the first twenty people.
