Return From the Immortal Realm - C186
Wei Fan did not really pay much attention to the high jump, but he was placed in the middle of the group of ten or so participants, where he could watch and observe from the sidelines.
As expected, Wei Fan and the other high jump participants were sitting at the side, participating in the high jump event. Initially, they were not interested in the high jump, but the audience who wanted to leave the competition had regained their expectations and returned to their seats to wait, as long as they could see how high Wei Fan could jump.
The other high jump participants who were doing warm-up activities did not take Wei Fan very seriously. They had also seen the previous 400 meters. However, compared to running, high jumping had stricter technical requirements. It wasn’t something that could be done just by being good at jumping. As for running, some people were born to run faster than others.
Since they subconsciously viewed Wei Fan as not being a threat at all, there were still participants outside the stage who started to chat with him. After knowing that Wei Fan really didn’t know how to jump high, everyone became enthusiastic and taught him “Back Down” style.
At this time, the first contestant also began his run-up. When he was still a few steps away from the horizontal pole, he began to run his Arc Steps. He then faced up, exploded in a flash, and leapt up. According to the warm-hearted coaches, there were some other technical moves during the process.
The shoulder passed the pole smoothly, then the arms and back, and finally the waist. Without a single strike, Contestant No.1 was quite satisfied with his performance. He got up from the cushion and said something to his coach with a smile.
The first time he tried it, it was set in a lower position. It was only 1.6 meters. For participants who were present at such a high level, other than Wei Fan, as long as they performed in a normal manner, they would be able to easily pass. Therefore, after calming his breathing, Contestant No.1 wanted to reach a height of 1.7 meters. This time, it was true.
The matches were arranged in a series of rounds. Contestant number one would be followed by number two, which would be placed next to the contestant number two. At this moment, Contestant Two no longer had the mood to sit around stupidly and do the final preparations.
The height of 1.7 meters was still within the scope of his ability. Contestant # 1 once again jumped up high, but because he was too nervous or because of some unknown reason, his abdomen touched the pole, and he unfortunately failed.
There were only these few people playing high jump in the school. Number 2 walked over and made a joke with the lost Number 1 before adjusting his state of mind and challenging 1.7m.
He didn’t know if it was because of Number 1’s curse, but Number 2 had also failed. However, there was still Number 3 and Number 4 behind Number 2. By the time it was Wei Fan’s turn, that pole had already risen to one hundred and eighty percent.
When Wei Fan finally went up on stage, the sports that had been quiet for a long time started to clamor again.
Wei Fan had already seen that back stepping technique move more than ten times, so it should be easy for him to do that kind of action with his flexible body. But Wei Fan still felt uncomfortable standing on the flat ground and imagining it multiple times.
During the conversation, Wei Fan had become familiar with the rules of the high jump competition. As long as one jumped, no matter what actions you use, as long as you smoothly jump over there, there would be results. Wei Fan planned to use his own way to get past the horizontal pole.
The horizontal pole that was 1.8 meters tall was only slightly shorter than Wei Fan. Standing in front of it made him feel a little pressured.
“Is competitor number nine ready?” The referee said as he looked at Wei Fan who had been brewing his feelings for a long time.
After making a prepared gesture, Wei Fan retreated to the starting point. In a short distance of twenty meters, Wei Fan’s speed suddenly increased even faster than in the previous four hundred meter competition. He then leaped up from the horizontal pole, and like a giant bird diving down gracefully, he streaked across the horizontal pole and landed on one foot on the ground.
Qing Gong? The citizens all had a martial arts dream in their hearts. Seeing Wei Fan’s method of jumping high up, this thought appeared in everyone’s mind, including the other participants’ hearts. When they thought about Wei Fan’s match with the Taekwondo Society, there were people who guessed that Wei Fan was a rare martial arts expert. Wasn’t today the best evidence? This was Qing Gong!
With regards to Wei Fan easily jumping off that horizontal pole, Xuancao was not surprised at all.
Li Jianghai knew that only he could fight, and he wasn’t too detailed about that. It was not that he was a stranger, there were many under his command that had this kind of ability. For example, the Master Li was able to easily jump onto the wall and rely on his low leveled qinggong.
Although Wei Fan’s actions were a bit world shocking, but it was hard to tell how he broke the rules of the competition. The referee called out for # 10 with some hesitation. The confidence of the # 10 contestant was completely shattered. The original seeded contestant didn’t even manage to jump 1.8 meters, and could only dejectedly leave the stage.
After the first round, there were a total of seven participants remaining to fight for the first place, of course Wei Fan was one of them.
It was only now that the participants finally believed that Wei Fan truly did not know how to jump high, but he could not hold on for much longer and knew Qing Gong!
When Xiao Shengnan saw this, she could already guess what would happen next. She left the stadium with a frown, she was only joking, she really didn’t want to go and present the prize to that guy every time. If this continues, Xiao Shengnan won’t be able to do anything and will have to start the follow-up plan.
Another turn, and the pole had risen to a height of two meters. Today, the world’s men’s record was only 2.45 meters, two meters was the limit for many.
Wei Fan this contestant number nine was still in the middle. Because it was outside of the range of his ability, the match happened very quickly, and only number six barely passed.
When they arrived at Wei Fan, everyone wanted to see if this fellow would make a new move to jump over, to their disappointment.
This time, the audience paid more attention. The sharp-eyed participants realised that the distance Wei Fan jumped was even greater than two meters, it was not much worse than the world record. The players behind saw this and gave up. Now, it was only him against Number Six.
Wei Fan put on a gentleman’s demeanor, smiled, and said to Number Six: “You go first.”
Number Six smiled bitterly, then asked mysteriously, “Wei Fan, to be honest, do you know martial arts?”
This was not the first time someone had asked this question, so Wei Fan straightforwardly nodded his head.
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Number Six also found a reason to comfort himself. After all, he was a chivalrous hero. It was normal for him to lose.
With this mentality, the horizontal pole had risen to 2.1 meters. Number Six wanted to try and break through his limits.
However, it was still an imperfect result. The pole swayed and the referee could only shake his head, unsuccessful.
Two meters and a half, Wei Fan once again used his “Qing Gong”.
Right now, Wei Fan was already first, but he could still continue his challenge. The referee wanted to create a new record in his hands, so he asked, “Do you want to try again?”
Wei Fan shyly rejected the judge’s request, and under the cheers of the entire audience, he walked up to the podium.
Then, he brought back a medal. It wouldn’t be strange if there were a lot of this stuff. Li Jianghai walked forward as though he wanted to ask something, but coincidentally, he came over to make a call.
After the call, Li Jianghai’s face darkened as he struggled to put his phone back into his pocket. Pulling Wei Fan to the side, he looked at him with a complicated gaze: “Remember your words, you must treat my daughter well.”
Even a fool would know that the atmosphere was out of place, but when Wei Fan wanted to ask him something, the Li Family man had already turned around and left with quick steps.
