23: Chapter 23 Failed Attempt to Squat

"Holy crap, what is Extreme Brother trying to do! He just squatted down?"

"Insane, this is absolutely insane. Extreme Brother is really courting death!"

"This is probably the gap between people. Wu Jing didn't even dare to move up there, yet Extreme Brother dares to squat against the glass."

"Brothers, I don't really get it. Is it really that dangerous to squat against the glass? Why are your reactions so intense?"

"Try spreading your legs and squatting down against a wall yourself, and you'll find out. See if the wall doesn't push you back a step."

Qin Feng's move made even professional Extreme Sports athletes shake their heads.

In extreme challenges like free solo climbing, the biggest taboo is shifting your center of gravity.

Because when you shift your center of gravity, it is very easy to lose your balance.

Not to mention that many young people in their early twenties already have potbellies.

In such a situation, if you squat against the wall, your stomach will definitely hit the wall, and then your whole body will be pushed backward.

At this moment, Wu Jing, sitting in the infirmary, saw Qin Feng's move on the screen and felt incredibly embarrassed.

And to think he had actually wanted to compete against Qin Feng on the same stage.

Shameful, it was just too shameful!

Wu Jing regretted it.

If he had known the gap in strength between himself and Qin Feng was this huge, he wouldn't have come to participate in this episode no matter what.

...

Burj Khalifa, glass curtain wall.

Qin Feng tried to squat for the first time, but he instantly lost his balance, his whole body leaning backward.

Qin Feng was startled, quickly pulled forward hard with his left hand, and hurriedly stood back up.

Although it was just a small movement, it was enough to break everyone watching into a cold sweat.

"This won't work; there's just no way to maintain balance."

Qin Feng thought carefully and decided to allocate the two attribute points gifted by the system to balance first.

Ding.

[Congratulations Host, you have successfully allocated two skill points.]

[Balance + 2]

After adding the skill points, Qin Feng took a deep breath and prepared to try again.

Just at this moment, Director Wang Haiwei's voice came through the earpiece.

"Student Qin Feng, your current situation is extremely dangerous. After discussing it, the Program Team has decided to suspend the competition."

"Stay where you are and don't move. We have already contacted the UAE rescue team, and they will arrive soon to save you. Do not move!"

Qin Feng's failed squat attempt not only startled him but also scared Director Wang Haiwei and Shen Xicai out of their wits.

Shen Xicai, who had originally planned to wait and see for a while, stopped waiting and insisted on stopping the competition to ensure Qin Feng's life was saved first.

Qin Feng frowned after hearing this.

"I don't care if you suspend the competition, but I will definitely continue to complete the challenge. As for whether or not to broadcast it, that is your own business."

Qin Feng's tone was firm, with no intention of negotiating with the Program Team.

Director Wang Haiwei wanted to say something more, but Qin Feng directly turned off the earpiece.

Taking a few seconds to adjust his mindset, Qin Feng bent his legs again.

The netizens in the livestream room all held their breath.

They didn't expect that after failing once, Qin Feng would actually try again!

Is he really not afraid of death?

The first time Qin Feng didn't fall, it was entirely due to luck, but what about this time?

Could Qin Feng be that lucky again this time?

Under the watchful eyes of the netizens, this time, with incredibly strong balance, Qin Feng actually managed to half-squat!

The livestream room instantly erupted!

Even the professional sports commentator in the livestream room was incredibly excited.

"Unbelievable! He did it! He actually did it!"

"Mr. Xu, you are our country's number one in Extreme Sports. How do you view this half-squat move completed by Student Qin Feng?"

Mr. Xu is indeed the number one in Extreme Sports in our country, but he is forty-five years old this year; he is no longer an extreme athlete but an Extreme Sports coach.

Because of his extensive experience in Extreme Sports, Mr. Xu has successfully trained batch after batch of excellent extreme athletes.

Therefore, whether in terms of prestige within the Extreme Sports circle or athletic technique, Mr. Xu is qualified to be a special guest judge for the Peak Challenge livestream room.

Mr. Xu carefully watched the replay of Qin Feng's move and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"This move by Student Qin Feng looks simple, but it is actually very difficult."

"In the category of free solo climbing, how to complete various high-difficulty moves while maintaining body balance has always been the main focus of our research and practice."

"Because free solo climbing is a standard balance sport in a confined space, the difficulty coefficient of such a sport is quite high, and correspondingly, the risk is also much higher."

Host He Bingbing looked puzzled.

"Mr. Xu, could you explain to us in detail what this 'confined space balance sport' means?"

Mr. Xu thought for a moment and then said:

"Everyone knows the balance beam event, right? Free solo climbing is somewhat similar to the balance beam."

"Think carefully about the state the athlete is in while climbing."

"Their footholds are very narrow; often only half a foot or even just the toes can step on the support point."

"Wanting to maintain body balance in such a state is a very difficult thing."

With Mr. Xu's explanation, the netizens in the livestream room immediately understood.

"This expert means that when climbing, there is a wall in front and nothing behind. The foothold is narrow, and there is nothing to grab onto above, so this is called a confined space balance sport."

"Isn't this called having no way up and no way down? But I just tried it against the wall, and it really is hard to squat down like Extreme Brother. In short, I can't do it."

"This expert actually knows his stuff. If he hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known that Extreme Brother's state even had a professional term."

Just as the netizens were discussing, Mr. Xu's next sentence immediately made everyone quiet down.

Mr. Xu rubbed his hands, frowned, and said, "Actually, although the squatting move is difficult, I don't think our focus should be on the move itself."

"What we should be thinking about is why he wanted to squat down?"

When Mr. Xu said this, everyone was stunned.

That's right, why did Qin Feng want to squat down?

Was it to show off?

That doesn't seem likely.

After all, he has absolutely no protective measures right now and is just clinging there at a height of a hundred meters.

If he fell to his death just to show off, wouldn't people talk about it for a lifetime?

Just when everyone was confused, Qin Feng suddenly pushed off with both legs and leaped!
