Chapter 1020 – Climbing with Unarmed Hands

　　Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed when he heard these words.

　　He shook his head and didn’t say anything else.

　　Beneath the absolute wall, Lu Baoyu resolutely grabbed the bottommost raised rock with his bare hands, forcibly dragging his tired body a little bit as he moved along the near-vertical wall.

　　The whimpering wind whistled in his ears, and he clenched his teeth like a tireless machine, moving forward slowly but firmly.

　　It wasn’t long before a second figure came through the wind and snow and stopped at the bottom of the wall.

　　Fang Mo was wearing a cold-proof suit, stuffing the finished compressed cookie bag back into his pocket, his eyes gazing at the towering wall in front of him, falling into deep thought.

　　He could see that a dark shadow was moving upwards about a tenth of the way up the wall.

　　Has he already arrived there ……

　　A tangle flashed across Fang Mo’s eyes.

　　After a moment of contemplation, he did not directly climb the Jedi wall, but instead sat down in place and began to rest his eyes.

　　Time passed minute by minute, and only when the sun in the sky had moved to right above, did Fang Mo slowly opened his eyes, and the color of determination flashed in his eyes.

　　He reached out his hand, grabbed the bumps of the wall, and climbed upwards with agility and swiftness.

　　At this time, Lu Baoyu had already climbed half of the total height of the wall, leaving him far behind.

　　Not long after Fang Mo had just started climbing, Su Yuan and Ding Chongfeng, as well as the other stronger recruits also crossed the frozen lake one after another and arrived at the foot of this wall.

　　”This high?”

　　Ding Chongfeng raised his head to look up at the near-vertical towering wall, and couldn’t help but speak, “Can this really be climbed up?”

　　”…… I don’t know either.” Su Yuan’s expression was complex and incomparable, “In extreme sports, unarmed rock climbing is originally one of the most dangerous sports, I’ve done several unarmed rock climbing before, but whether it’s the height or the degree of danger, it’s impossible to compare it with this wall. ……

　　This place is already a plateau, the air is thin, and with the interference of the wind and snow around us, it’s extremely dangerous even if you’re wearing protective gear to climb the mountain, let alone climbing unarmed.”

　　”Instructor Lin should be protecting our safety.”

　　”If that’s the case, then the probability of failure will be higher instead.” Su Yuan said calmly, “Unarmed rock climbing tests not only the strength and endurance of the climber, but also the willpower.

　　For this height of unarmed rock climbing, once you start, there is no way to turn back, and in the middle of the way, even if you are tired and can’t hold on, you can only smother your head and climb upwards, because even if you want to stop in the air and rest, the muscle tissues are all tight at all times, and you also have to fight against the blowing of the wind and snow.

　　When climbing, as the climber’s physical strength gradually reaches its limit, under the double torture of fear and fatigue, the person will be unable to control the emergence of the idea of retreat.

　　If it’s a real unarmed rock climbing, then when on the verge of life and death, a person will always burst out of his potential, forcing him to complete the last leg, but if he is given a way back at this time, then many people may not even be able to touch the limit, and will throw up their hands in the middle of the journey.”

　　”A test of willpower level?……” Ding Chongfeng looked up at the towering wall and sighed, “Forget it, go on, sooner or later you will have to face it.”

　　”No way.”

　　”Huh?”

　　”We need to rest.” Su Yuan spoke solemnly, “As I said, once you start unarmed rock climbing, you can’t back off, and there’s no time to rest in the middle of the process, so we must regulate ourselves to the best state before we start.

　　This level, the test is not only physical strength, endurance, and willpower, but also in the face of extreme situations when the calm.

　　The most taboo thing about unarmed rock climbing is impatience and arrogance, that can cost one’s life.”

　　Ding Chongfeng nodded thoughtfully, “I see, sharpen your sword, we’ll rest until the afternoon and start climbing again.”

　　As the words fell, Ding Chongfeng raised his head again, glancing at the two figures that were already slowly climbing up the wall, a worried look appearing in his eyes.

　　Beads of bean-sized sweat slid down Lu Baoyu’s cheeks, quickly turning into frost and withering in the air.

　　He clenched his teeth, his eyes staring dead on the top of the wall that was already looming, straining to move his hands and feet.

　　His body was trembling uncontrollably, and his perception of his hands and feet was already almost numb. He had crossed the snowfield and the frozen lake one after another without stopping, and had climbed nearly four-fifths of the wall in a single breath, so his body had already been drained to the limit.

　　He knew that he was already dying.

　　But he was not willing.

　　Obviously, he had almost finished climbing the wall, just a little bit short, to let him just admit defeat, never!

　　So what if he reached his limit? So what if his consciousness started to blur?

　　He was not convinced!

　　Climb! Forget everything and climb upwards!

　　He must not lose here.

　　Lu Baoyu by virtue of the terrifying willpower, moving almost unconscious limbs, want to be an undefeatable small strong, in the snow and wind a little bit of upward crawl ……

　　But even if his willpower is strong, the human body, there is always a limit.

　　Jab-la–!

　　Lu Baoyu’s right foot just stepped on a piece of bump, but it completely softened, and the whole person violently slid down from the top of the jumbo wall, powerlessly falling through the clouds and towards the bottom.

　　Those recruits who had just started climbing, or were about to start climbing, saw Lu Baoyu, who was about to climb to the top, fall from the sky, and simultaneously exclaimed in shock.

　　At the center of the extinct wall, Fang Mo’s eyes contracted slightly when he saw this scene.

　　Without the slightest hesitation, his body lightly swayed on the Jedi wall, moving parallel to the center of Lu Baoyu’s descending trajectory, his right hand gripped a claw and fiercely dug into the hard surface of the Jedi wall, clasping it with a death grip.

　　Then he stretched out his left hand and yanked the falling Lu Baoyu’s wrist.

　　The terrifying kinetic energy tore at Fang Mo’s body, and he stifled a grunt of pain, but he did not let go of it, and the fingertips of his right hand, which had been clasped into the Jedi wall, oozed blood, already injured.

　　”What are you doing?” Lu Baoyu was yanked in the air by him, swinging with the gusty wind, and spoke in a cold voice, “Let go of me.”

　　”It’s not easy for you to climb this high, if you fall, you’ll have to start from the beginning.” Fang Mo frowned.

　　”Then start from the beginning.” Lu Baoyu looked at the top of the wall, a complex color flashed in his eyes, “This time it was me who was arrogant, I should pay the price.”

　　”But ……”

　　”You don’t think that after I fall, there’s no way for me to climb back up, right?” Lu Baoyu sneered, “Fang Mo, do you really think I, Lu Baoyu, am a loser? Do you think I can’t afford to lose?

　　Wrong is wrong, I don’t need your charity to mitigate the price I should pay.

　　Even if I fall and go back to the starting line, I will still come back and surpass everyone ……

　　including you.”

　　As the words fell, Lu Baoyu violently wrenched his arm away, his figure rapidly falling into the clouds below the wall.
