Chapter 456: Chapter 182: All Challenges Over! Shocked Passers-by! Transcendent Comprehension!_7

”Jumping from that high up? Even landing in water, the impact would be like hitting concrete, right?”

”Incredible! This is truly incredible! @RedMoo Sports Official, is this one of yours?”

”I was wondering the same thing. After all, doesn’t RedMoo have that slogan, ’Your death will be beyond your imagination’?”

”Never mind that. Right now, all I can say is: awesome! So f*cking awesome! And look at him—is he attempting Oizaki’s Eight Challenges? It really looks like ’Master of Life’ and ’Ultimate Trust’ from the challenges.”

”You know, it does look a bit like it, but not entirely. What this guy’s doing is even harder than Oizaki’s Eight Challenges! If I’m not mistaken—holy crap, is that a weighted vest he’s wearing? Free soloing with a weighted vest, and climbing that high? Geez, that’s just insane! The difficulty is several times greater than Oizaki’s Eight Challenges!”

”Wait, isn’t that missing the point? Shouldn’t we be worried about the guy’s condition? He climbed so high, wearing something that heavy, and then he fell... This...”

This video sparked a flurry of online discussion. Everyone was concerned for the man’s life. Although officials from Hundred Feet Falls eventually stated the person was unharmed, most netizens dismissed this as an attempt to evade responsibility. Few believed them. They merely lamented the apparent loss of such a rising star in extreme sports.

However, they soon realized their lamentations were premature.

「Because half a month later...」

”Bros, you will not believe what I just filmed! Damn! Someone’s riding a single bamboo pole down the rapids on the Yangtze River!”

”??? What the hell? Riding a bamboo pole down the Yangtze rapids? Bro, how much have you had to drink? Are you hallucinating?”

”Don’t be so quick to deny it; check out the video first.”

”Watch the video? What’s so special about it? It can’t possibly be... WOW, holy shit! There really is someone riding a bamboo pole down the Yangtze rapids! How the hell did he do that? That’s beyond extreme! If the Yangtze’s currents flipped him, he’d be irrevocably dead; they wouldn’t even find a body!”

”Skill makes one bold! That’s all I can say, skill makes one bold!”

”But speaking of which, have you guys noticed? That person’s build... it looks kind of familiar!”

”Huh? You think so too? I thought I was the only one!”

”I just compared them. Isn’t this the same guy who jumped off the cliff half a month ago?”

Watching the figure in the video, precariously balanced on a small craft amidst the surging waves, people were utterly astounded. They declared they had never witnessed such a feat. Some also paid closer attention to the man’s figure. Comparing him to the person seen earlier at Hundred Feet Falls, they discovered something incredible: they appeared to be the same individual!

”Damn, that’s just insane!”

Upon this realization, people couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, their curiosity about this figure growing immensely.

Driven by curiosity, people started paying attention to this person. They discovered he seemed to have appeared out of thin air. He was an unknown in the extreme sports community.

He was a true daredevil! Roughly every half-month, he would surface somewhere in Great Xia to undertake challenges that sounded utterly incredible.

As far as was publicly known, apart from the Hundred Feet Falls incident and rafting on the Yangtze River, he was known to have subsequently appeared at Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie for wingsuit flying and extreme gliding. He also surfaced in Sanya, surfing a five-meter-high tsunami.

If that was all, it would have been astounding enough. Crucially, on top of these already extreme feats, the man deliberately amplified the difficulty. For instance, while wingsuit flying, he would execute evasions with razor-thin margins. And while surfing the tsunami, he pulled off numerous high-risk maneuvers.

Furthermore, since he was always fully geared up, obscuring his face, people began calling him ’Daredevil Bro’ based on his exploits. Naturally, speculation about his identity abounded. Some suspected he was ex-Special Forces. Others believed he was a martial arts expert. A few even theorized that this ’Daredevil Bro’ was, in fact, Zhang Beixing, because their builds were remarkably similar. Online, this even sparked a heated debate.

Daredevil Bro, Zhang Beixing himself, was oblivious to all this. At that moment, he was confronting his ultimate challenge: Ice Bound, from Oizaki’s Eight Challenges! A downhill ski run on Mount Everest!

WHOOSH— The sound of rushing air tore past his ears as Zhang Beixing, on skis, launched himself from the cliff’s edge with tremendous force.

Behind him, an avalanche, like a colossal white palm, billowed and clawed its way towards Zhang Beixing. However, due to the slight lead he had and his own momentum, even though it was mere paces behind him, that distance was an unbridgeable gulf.

THUMP— He landed heavily, snow spraying around. Zhang Beixing was enveloped in Vital Energy, unscathed. Without losing speed, he dug in his ski poles and rapidly sped away from the impact zone.

Only when he had skied all the way to the base of the mountain did Zhang Beixing finally let out a breath of relief. Seeing the approaching Sherpas, Zhang Beixing accepted their support and returned to camp.

Sipping hot butter tea, Zhang Beixing recalled his experiences over the past days. ’Heart-pounding’ was the only way to describe them. He was either pushing his limits or on the path to his next challenge.

Fortunately, his efforts had paid off. With the completion of the Mount Everest ski challenge, Zhang Beixing had finally conquered the Fate-Stealing version of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges!

His next step was seclusion: to meditate on the insights gained throughout his journey and then, with the aid of attribute points, shatter the fetters of his mortal body, officially stepping into the Transcendent realm!
