Liu Xianhua's misplaced confidence drew boos from the crowd.
However, Liu Xianhua casually waved his hand, signaling Zhang Xiaolong to begin.
This scene, though, allowed Ling Feng and Ji Yunyue to glean one piece of information!
"Everyone, clear the way. I'm about to show off!"
Zhang Xiaolong was a weightlifting champion. Although retired, his current strength was still remarkable.
He lifted three hundred kilograms as if it were nothing.
Cheers erupted from the audience. After all, this man was once hailed as the "Light of Chuandu." His appearance at this moment was a massive thrill for everyone.
Ling Feng, however, knew very well that this man was likely part of the arrangement!
Zhang Xiaolong's true strength was far beyond what was displayed.
But for ordinary people, this level of strength was already astonishing!
"Heh, are you Liu Xianhua, the curator? Now it's your turn. Mind you, I'm not challenging you to do this. If you don't like it, you can concede now!"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled faintly, crossing his arms.
Everyone looked at Liu Xianhua with schadenfreude.
But before anyone could say more, Liu Xianhua walked up step by step, shaking his head at everyone. "Next, you might find this unbelievable, but this is the power of a martial artist, far beyond the human limit you can imagine!"
Those words were indeed rather arrogant.
But before the crowd could complain or say anything else.
Liu Xianhua easily lifted the barbell overhead with one hand, his internal energy surging. Those in the front row couldn't help but take a step back.
The next moment, everyone was stunned!
Zhang Xiaolong on stage put on an exaggerated expression. "Impossible! How is this possible? How can anyone in this world possess such immense strength?"
*Clang!*
Liu Xianhua directly dropped the barbell to the ground and then shook his head at Zhang Xiaolong. "You don't believe me? Heh, I know you spent many years of effort to achieve your current physical strength. If it were just physical strength, I might not be your match. However, we martial artists cultivate internal energy, and later can even cultivate transformative energy. These powers are beyond your comprehension!"
With that, Liu Xianhua said to the people behind him, "Let my disciples give it a try, so you don't accuse me of cheating!"
*Whoosh!*
Another wave of commotion swept through the venue.
Zhang Xiaolong, defeated, stumbled back repeatedly.
Immediately after, two people came up, looking even younger than Liu Xianhua.
Both of them had slender physiques, appearing almost frail. The one on the left, in particular, was emaciated to the bone.
Forget lifting the barbell; just the deadlift alone.
Everyone would likely worry about his arms breaking!
However, to everyone's surprise, both of them easily lifted the barbell with both hands!
*Clang!*
*Clang!*
With two dull thuds, they both dropped the barbell to the ground.
The sound of the barbell hitting the ground was enough to attest to its weight!
Zhang Xiaolong slumped to the ground. "No, this is impossible! It's impossible..."
"Alright, now please help Mr. Zhang Xiaolong down. I believe no one doubts our strength now, right? This is the true power of martial artists!"
Liu Xianhua appeared utterly superior.
With that, he waved to someone beside him, and people stepped forward to help Zhang Xiaolong down.
But at that moment, Ling Feng's voice echoed throughout the venue. "I don't believe what you're saying."
Instantly, all eyes turned to Ling Feng.
Liu Xianhua also froze, then looked towards Ling Feng. Seeing that Ling Feng was a young man of similar age, he nodded with a cold smile. "Heh, sir, if you don't believe it, you can come up and try!"
As he spoke, Liu Xianhua signaled to someone beside him. "Get the chalk ready. Don't let anyone get hurt!"
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Feng walked onto the stage.
He even called out to the two people who were about to help Zhang Xiaolong off the stage. "You two, stop acting. I don't know how much you paid this washed-up weightlifting champion. Being on TV doesn't mean your championship has enough weight!"
The two who were about to act were stunned by his words.
Zhang Xiaolong, who was sitting on the ground, his eyes wide open, jumped up. "Kid, what did you say? How dare you doubt my strength..."
Before Zhang Xiaolong's shouting could finish.
Ling Feng had already effortlessly lifted the barbell with one hand, even casually tossing it a couple of times!
This scene completely dumbfounded Zhang Xiaolong.
Liu Xianhua's eyes widened, then narrowed. Clearly, he had just realized that Ling Feng was there to cause trouble. Although Ling Feng's body emanated no discernible aura, he was definitely a master!
A true martial arts master!
"This is called three hundred kilograms? Why does it feel like only two or three catties? Is this your Extreme Peak Martial Arts' promotional tactic? Using this to fool people with a washed-up champion?!"
Ling Feng's voice was filled with mockery.
Some people in the audience, who had been stunned, began to snap out of their daze.
Instantly, everyone was filled with extreme anger.
They felt their intelligence had been insulted.
They had been deceived by such a crude trick. These people deserved to die!
"What kind of garbage is this, using this to cheat us!"
"Zhang Xiaolong, you've disappointed us so much!"
"Damn it, Zhang Xiaolong, how much did they pay you to cheat people here? What kind of person are you!"
"This is infuriating! Your Extreme Peak Martial Arts are simply fraudsters. Arrest them all!"
...
The crowd descended into chaos.
At this moment, Ji Yunyue, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but smile.
So this was Ling Feng's strategy of observing and waiting!
Finding the right moment, he went up and delivered a fatal blow to these guys!
These guys were too foolish; they were so easily dealt with by Ling Feng!
"Everyone, please quiet down. I'm not a cheat. This barbell is really three hundred kilograms. You saw the weight when it fell to the ground earlier!"
Zhang Xiaolong was on the verge of tears. Had his lifelong reputation been ruined just like this?
He was naturally unwilling.
Liu Xianhua also stepped forward. "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. This gentleman is certainly a martial artist, which is why he possesses such strength!"
With that, Liu Xianhua stared at Ling Feng and said coldly, "Do you think such a despicable tactic can ruin our opening ceremony? Aren't you being too naive? Didn't you say this thing was light? Then let others try it and see!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng noticed several people behind Liu Xianhua gathering around him.
He immediately smiled faintly at Liu Xianhua. "Heh, do we still need to try? Can't I just throw it down?"
Saying that, the barbell in his hand was directly thrown towards the crowd in front!
