Chapter 1905: Make a Bet
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing this miraculous scene, the audience widened their eyes and opened their mouths.
No one expected Zhu Jinwoo to climb up a four-meter tall wall in the blink of an eye.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was as light as a swallow.
Lin Yi stood at the side and didn’t say anything. Although this scene was quite shocking, after thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem like much.
Not only people like him, but even ordinary people could do it as long as they practiced.
In reality, the things he displayed were not even comparable to some parkour professionals.
It was even less of a problem for people like that. What they could do was even more shocking.
However, Zhu Jinwoo was quite smart.
When Zhu Zhenyu demonstrated his skills, he carefully placed his feet on a small protrusion that provided maximum support.
Additionally, it seemed his shoes had been specially treated to have incredible friction, making the feat much easier.
These two factors combined allowed him to perform the move with relative ease.
At this point, Zhu Zhenyu returned to the crowd via the side steps, his earlier lack of confidence replaced with a renewed sense of assurance.
“My friend, 1 have just demonstrated the lightness skills of Xiyun Temple. What are your thoughts after witnessing it?”
“My thoughts?” Lin Yi smiled and said.
“1 didn’t see anything particularly special, so I have no strong impressions.” “You say there’s nothing special?” Zhu Zhenyu replied.
“Are you sure you’re not joking?”
“What’s there to joke about? I can do that too, and it has nothing to do with lightness skills.”
This time, the audience couldn’t stay silent.
“Kid, what are you talking about? Do you really think just because you’re strong, you can fly and walk on air? This requires real skill.”
“Stop bragging. The distance he covered is over four meters, almost the height of two floors. Don’t hurt yourself trying to show off.”
“You’re not fooling anyone. Stop showing off and come down.”
Lin Yi smiled and did not refute the people below.
If it was before, he would have retorted.
However, now that he had joined the Central Guards Brigade, he felt that his worldview was subtly affected.
No matter how smart these people were, they were still people he needed to protect!
At this moment, Zhu Jinwoo, who was standing at the side, said,
“Brother, you’ve seen what’s going on. As the saying goes, listen to others and eat your fill. There’s really no need to try. It won’t be good if you get hurt.” “Since this fellow Daoist has such thoughts, let him give it a try. Otherwise, he won’t be satisfied. Once he leaves, he might slander our Daoist reputation.” The person who spoke was Zhang Yanjun. The reason why he said this was to use Lin Yi as a negative example.
Zhu Jinwoo had already climbed up. As an ordinary person without any experience, it was definitely impossible for him to scale the four-meter-tall wall!
Therefore, it was necessary to let him try, to maximize their benefits.
“Yes, he must try!” the audience shouted.
“He needs to realize the truth, or he’ll go online and badmouth you.”
“I’ve disliked him from the start. How dare he question Daoist skills? He’s clearly a keyboard warrior!”
Zhang Yanjun smiled at Lin Yi and spoke.
“My friend, if you are willing to admit your mistake now, we can let this matter go. But if you insist on your claim, then please give it a try. If you fail, you must apologize to all of us.”
“No problem,” Lin Yi replied.
“But if 1 succeed, will you admit that you’re deceiving everyone?”
“This…”
Zhu Zhenyu hesitated. Agreeing to this would be a high-stakes gamble.
If something went wrong, they would have to admit that everything they had demonstrated was a lie.
It would make future attempts to earn money much more difficult.
“No problem.”
Zhang Yanjun readily agreed without any hesitation.
“Why did you agree to it?!”
Zhu Jinwoo asked softly.
Zhang Yanjun’s expression did not change. He smiled and asked in a low voice,
“Do you think there might be a problem with this?”
“It’s impossible.” Zhu Jinwoo said,
“When he kicked the brick earlier, he could have done it with brute force. But when it comes to this task, he definitely won’t succeed.”
“Since you’re so sure, what’s there to be afraid of?” Zhang Yanjun said.
“You’re so timid. How are you going to earn money in the future?”
Hearing Zhang Yanjun’s words, Zhu Jinwoo also woke up.
If he failed, Xiyun Temple would be able to bolster their reputation during the Hungry Ghost Festival.
It would be even easier for him to earn money in the future.
“We’ll do as you say!”
“Go ahead, it won’t be a problem.” Zhang Yanjun said, “If I can buy a villa this year, I’ll have to give him half of the credit, haha.”
Zhu Jinwoo smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Lin Yi and said,
“Our agreement has been established. If you have any doubts, you can try it now.”
“Just wait.”
Lin Yi stood on the spot and made some simple preparations. After all, he had never done such a thing before and still needed to warm up.
“Brother Lin, are you sure there will be no problems?”
Qiao Xin asked.
“Just watch. This is no biggie.”
“Okay. Good luck.”
Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin had absolute trust in Lin Yi.
If he said there was no problem, then that would be the case.
About half a minute later, Lin Yi’s warm-up was completed.
Then, he took a deep breath and rushed towards the wall.
Zhang Yanjun had a smile on his face. “He’s quite decent.”
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi rushed to the edge of the high wall!
Lin Yi bent his knees and jumped more than a meter high, landing on the wall with one foot.
Despite wearing ordinary sneakers with less grip than Zhu Zhenyu’s special shoes, Lin Yi’s immense strength allowed him to generate enough friction to keep his body balanced in midair.
What was even more impressive was that Lin Yi didn’t simply leap up and grab the bar like Zhu Zhenyu did.
Instead, he placed his other foot on the wall and took two consecutive steps upward.
It was almost as if he were walking on the wall!
This second step propelled him even higher, allowing him to easily grab the bar’s handle with one hand. With a light flip, he landed on the platform atop the high wall.
The entire sequence was fluid and seamless, without any hesitation!
Most astonishingly, Lin Yi’s movements were incredibly fast!
If timed, it might have taken less than two seconds!
The crowd was left speechless, their eyes wide in disbelief.. The scene was eerily silent, except for their pounding hearts!
