Infinite Demon God: How can I download it if I don't have enough data?

"After a year of hard training, today has finally come."

"Today I'm going to be the 'hammer bearer,' and nobody can take it from me!"

"Ha, you think you can compete with me? Don't end up being the ones holding the hammer but not being able to lift it."

"I can deadlift 300 kilograms."

Upon hearing this...

Many of the younger generation couldn't help but get excited, all eager to try their hand at it.

Clearly, they are very much looking forward to the upcoming Power Festival.

Chengli Festival.

This is a unique tradition of the Hu clan's ancestral worship. Other traditions have been abolished to varying degrees due to changes in the times, but this one has been preserved for hundreds of years and continues to this day.

The Power Festival can be seen as a test of one's own strength.

Those who perform well will receive a monetary reward.

Becoming the hammer bearer brings even more benefits and a series of support.

Whether starting a business or embarking on a political career, everything will go smoothly.

Besides.

There might even be a chance to come into contact with that kind of power...

Therefore, the benefits of becoming the one who holds the hammer are unimaginable.

This is why the young people of the Hu family are extremely enthusiastic and eager to participate in this Chengli Festival.

Hu Long does not have many records of this in his memory.

Perhaps due to incomplete memories, or perhaps because the original owner's aptitude was too poor, she was unable to achieve a good ranking.

Regarding the Secret Weapon incident.

I don't know what the considerations were.

The main family members did not intend to publicize this, so many of the Hu family's collateral branches only informed the secret warriors of their information after they were selected.

However, after learning of the existence of the secret martial artists, Hu Long understood that this was a test, an assessment of whether someone was qualified.

Thinking about this...

A strange look flashed in his eyes.

……

Soon, the group arrived at the open space outside the ancestral hall.

There were more than a dozen stone locks of different sizes neatly arranged on the open ground.

From left to right, each stone lock is engraved with a different weight:

Fifty jin, one hundred jin, one hundred and fifty jin... increasing in turn, each one fifty jin heavier than the previous one.

These stone locks are the tools needed for the "Power-Bearing Ritual".

"Those who meet the age requirements and wish to participate, please stand here."

After the clan chief Hu Zhenkui spoke.

Apart from those with physical disabilities who are genuinely unable to participate.

One by one, members of the Hu clan who met the age requirements stepped forward.

"I'll give it a try too!"

At this time.

Hu Long suddenly spoke up.

The original owner was only twenty-one years old, which was indeed in accordance with the rules.

"No, you haven't fully recovered yet. What if you get injured..."

Upon hearing what Hu Long said, He Yanling refused without even thinking.

"It's okay, I've almost recovered and there's nothing wrong with me."

Hu Long smiled.

"Yes, let Xiao Long give it a try if he wants to."

Hu Chengwen interjected.

During this time, he naturally noticed the changes in Hu Long.

Putting everything else aside, his physique has become much stronger.

Who knows, I might actually be chosen by the master.

That's why he called the other person back before the ancestral worship ceremony, and took the opportunity to talk to him, emphasizing the importance of the ancestral worship ceremony.

It seems the other party did indeed listen.

He Yanling, who was standing to the side, was unaware of all this.

Since they were out in the open, the other party, as the head of the family, spoke up, and they also noticed that Hu Long had indeed become much stronger over the past few days.

Although He Yanling was unwilling, she did not argue further.

Be careful, don't push yourself, and give up if you can't handle it.

After saying that, He Yanling glared at Hu Chengwen, who was standing to the side.

Hu Chengwen could only pretend he hadn't seen it.

Go ahead, and do your best.

he said.

"come on!"

Hu Zhao raised his fist and gave Hu Long a thumbs-up.

She didn't participate, not because she didn't want to.

Rather, he was already twenty-six years old, exceeding the age limit for participating in the Ritual Festival.

In this regard.

Hu Long simply nodded without saying anything more.

soon.

Everyone who participated came out.

102 people in total.

Both men and women are represented.

The rules of the Power-Bearing Festival are very simple; it doesn't involve lifting stone weights above one's head, as that would be too difficult.

Moreover, it is extremely dangerous if one loses control and loses strength; a moment's carelessness could result in injury.

According to records, there have been many such examples.

As time went on.

The rules for ancestral worship have been changed.

For safety reasons, all you need to do is lift the stone weight off the ground, above your knees, and hold it for ten seconds to pass.

Then.

Everyone lined up to lift the lock.

In addition, there are 100,000 stone locks weighing 100 jin each, 150,000 stone locks weighing 150 jin each, and so on.

The reward money increases by 50,000 for each heavier stone weight lifted.

After all, not every member of the Hu clan is as wealthy as Hu Long's family.

It's possible to be indifferent.

Furthermore, money is secondary; it is said that lifting higher stone locks will bring even greater benefits.

This meant that everyone was using almost all their strength to try and lift the heavier stone weights.

The 100-pound stone lock wasn't considered heavy, and basically everyone passed.

As for the second 150-pound stone lock, although it was heavy, lifting it for ten seconds was not difficult.

Except for a few individuals who are thin and weak, most can do it.

Then came 200 jin, 250 jin, and 300 jin.

The heavier the weight, the fewer people can lift it.

When the weight reached 300 jin (150 kg), only thirteen people were able to complete the task.

Lifting stone locks is different from deadlifting in the gym.

The two have fundamentally different points of exertion.

Perhaps a fitness enthusiast who has trained for a long time can deadlift 200 kilograms.

However, lifting a 300-pound stone lock is very difficult.

That's why the number of people eliminated is the highest after reaching this stage.

The remaining members of the Hu clan were mostly extremely robust, with muscular physiques.

However, among them, only two stood out.

A chubby little boy and a young man with a buzz cut.

Both of them were smaller than the other members of their tribe, even the only woman among them.

Yet, the two of them lifted the stone weight with remarkable ease.

"This year's seedlings are quite good; there are over a dozen who can lift 300 jin (150 kg). Sister Li, what do you think is the highest weight of stone weight they can lift today?"

At this moment, among the crowd of the Hu family members on one side.

A man with dark skin and slightly thin lips spoke.

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of Hu clan members, a hint of interest in his eyes.

The woman named Hu Li was a woman with thick, muscular arms, a bun hairstyle, and a cold, stern face.

What is striking is the presence of grayish-white lines on the skin of her exposed arms.

Upon hearing this...

She crossed her arms and glanced at the crowd queuing for the Power-Bearing Festival.

He simply shook his head slightly.

"It's hard to say, but I heard that a gifted little guy has emerged this time, so there might be some surprises."

"I've heard about that little guy too."

The dark-skinned man's gaze fell on the chubby little boy among the crowd.

"This qualification should have already been decided internally; today's Chengli Festival is just a formality."

In the end, a hint of envy crept into his voice.

Although he was already considered a member of the same clan, he had entered a world that ordinary people could not reach.

However, it cannot compare to it.

Because these kinds of people are true geniuses.

They started at a higher level than him, and as long as they don't fail prematurely, they can go even further.

Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily fell on Hu Li's back.

The existence of the person in front of you is proof of that.

He lifted a 400-jin stone lock, while his opponent had lifted an 800-jin stone lock.

In fact, he has been in the main family for a shorter time than him, but his strength has already surpassed his.

This is proof of superior aptitude, something that cannot be compensated for simply by hard work.

Just then, a low gasp came from the crowd.
