Chapter 291 241: The Name of Cultivator Spreads Overseas (Part 2)

Although Brother Tyre often appears very brutal in his videos, he is actually very cautious about his safety. So he specifically spent a lot of money to make a thicker and longer barbell to prevent such unexpected situations from occurring, making it much easier when attempting to lift extreme weights without worrying about instability.

Unfortunately, Brother Tyre himself lacks the strength, so he has never truly used this barbell rod; other top strongmen also do not possess the strength to move weights over 500 kilograms.

Now witnessing Wang Ye, a Superman capable of deadlifting weights reaching tons, Brother Tyre naturally could not contain his curiosity. Even though he had just suffered a defeat, he was still eager to witness what a one-ton human deadlift looks like...

Usually, the higher a person stands at the summit, the greater the admiration they have for their peers of the same level, or even higher. This is the so-called mutual appreciation between heroes.

"Hoo—"

Wang Ye exhaled a breath and gripped the barbell in front of his calves tightly.

Because this barbell has been thickened, it is more strenuous to grip than a regular barbell.

The people around initially wanted to hand him a grip-assisted strap, but Wang Ye refused.

In front of a one-ton weight, a regular strap provides almost no benefit.

Straps used by ordinary gym-goers are mostly made of thick leather for the palm protection parts, and the wristbands are fastened with Velcro, which can only handle two or three hundred kilograms of weight. A slightly heavier load risks snapping them apart. Even someone like Brother Tyre hardly uses straps when reaching for extreme limits because there is a significant safety hazard; if the strap suddenly breaks while hitting the limits, all of the weight will instantly press onto the palm, causing muscle strain or fractures.

For the one-ton weight Wang Ye is about to lift, straps cannot be used.

Besides, Wang Ye himself is not lacking the grip strength to lift one ton, there is no need to make unnecessary additions.

The people around watched Wang Ye grab the barbell, instantly focused, holding their breath, and dared not exhale.

Many took out their phones and started recording.

As long as Wang Ye lifts this barbell weighing over a ton here,

they would be witnessing history.

You could see Wang Ye's hips and legs suddenly exert force, his arms almost perpendicular to the ground,

At that moment, the muscles all over his body seemed to twist into a single rope, pulling upwards.

The next moment,

This one-ton barbell unexpectedly lifted off the ground as if hoisted by a crane.

Due to the tremendous weight, even the thickened rod showed noticeable twisting deformation, like a yoke about to break under pressure. The nearly unbearable creaking sound transmitted to everyone's ears, making them worried, fearing the rod might snap any moment and hit their faces.

All the weight was fully pressing onto Wang Ye's palms. Fortunately, his body has the protection of a Biological Force Field, preventing easy breakage. Yet his palms were turned purple-black, as the one-ton weight pressing the middle section of his palms blocked blood return, causing blood congestion at a spot, resulting in hematoma.

But that was enough; any other top strongman, their fingers would not only show hematoma under such pressure but also directly rupture at the joints, dislocate lightly, or severely break an arm with blood loss.

Wang Ye held his breath, focused, lifted it to the level of his thigh roots, and then slowly lowered it back to the ground again. Although he lowered it extremely slowly, due to the massive weight of the barbell when it touched the ground, everyone still felt a noticeable earth's shake, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Boom!!!

The dust in the mat was stirred up fiercely again.

But this time, the spectators around didn't cover their eyes.

Instead, they began cheering.

"He succeeded!"

"Oh yeah!!"

"Oh my god, this is two thousand pounds!!"

"Buddy, you're Divine! Hercules reincarnated!"

The people watching applauded and jumped up. Especially those fanatic powerlifting enthusiasts now almost went hysterical with excitement.

Brother Tyre also patted Wang Ye's shoulder hard, praising, "Brother, terribly impressive! I shouldn't have doubted you earlier, you truly deserve to be the Power King!"

"Thanks, can I borrow this barbell again later?" Wang Ye asked.

"No problem, I can give it to you since I can't use it anyway!" Brother Tyre appeared very straightforward.

Wang Ye's request was because he could still add more weight; deadlifting with a ton wearing thousand-pound weighted clothing might still be challenging, but adding another two or three hundred kilograms of barbell plate wouldn't be an issue.

However, unfortunately, his palms had difficulty bearing heavier force anymore, while deadlifting, nearly all the weight would press tightly on a small location in the middle of his palms, causing severe damage to the internal structures including muscle, bone, soft tissue, blood vessels, etc.

Now Wang Ye even finds it hard to clench his fist normally, let alone continue adding weight. While his body can quickly recover from injuries, it requires an energy supply too. Currently, without direct sunlight, his recovery ability only manifests one-tenth of its effect.

"Given this, let's try heavier weight next time."

At this time, in the live stream room, seeing Wang Ye successfully challenge a one-ton deadlift, not only did Chinese netizens cheer, foreign netizens also made incredulous comments.

[One ton, this freaking weighs one ton! How heavy is a rhino? A rhino barely weighs a ton, and this guy lifted a rhino directly!]

[Fuck, is this Asian cheating??]

[How much growth hormone does it take to train like this?]

[Growth hormone? Ha, still talking about drugs. Do you know what a Chinese Cultivator is?]

[A purely natural trainer, lifting a ton heavy barbell is utterly against common sense... I'd never believe unless I saw it with my own eyes.]

[This live broadcast must have used special effects, right?]

[The barbell could be foam too, I find it not credible.]

[You're really stubborn without evidence. Brother Tyre showed up, could it still be fake?]

The live stream room got increasingly fierce until Brother Tyre closed the stream, the arguments ceased, but the live recording videos shot by the on-site audience still spread online.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Wang Ye bid farewell to Brother Tyre and others, swiftly left the iron gym, stood at a place without obstacles blocking, basked under the Sun for ten minutes, allowing cells to absorb ample energy to recover completely from the bodily damage left by the recent challenge of deadlifting.

····························

Only about half a day passed.

The video of Wang Ye deadlifting one ton went viral overseas. The most viewed video already has over 500,000 shares.

Meanwhile, a Chinese term also unexpectedly appeared in the hot searches overseas.

#Cultivator#

Many foreigners who hardly ever followed Chinese culture became intrigued and began eagerly exploring knowledge related to this term, such as China's Immortal Heroes novels, traditional myths, etc.

The Qidian Overseas Novel website also suddenly saw a surge in clicks, especially those of the Immortal Heroes category, with tens of thousands of subscriptions skyrocketing in a short time.
