"I never knew this road would be so difficult."

Da Lang sat on a piece of bluestone and pursed his dry lips, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Sister, have a cup of tea."

Hu Yifei looked at the disposable paper cup handed over in surprise.

"The mint herbal tea prepared by uncle can clear away heat and quench thirst." Xiaoyu grinned.

"Thank you, little sister! You're so good!" Big Wave was instantly cute, and he took the water glass with twinkling eyes.

Hu Yifei turned around and saw that the big backpack Fan Shigang was carrying had been opened, and Meng Lang was taking out things one by one.

Bread, biscuits, chocolate, uh... what the hell are melon seeds?

Do you really think we are here to climb a mountain?

The location where everyone is at this time is a competition point located halfway up the mountain, and there is a pavilion for people to rest next to it.

Thanks to Li Lei, Meng Lang and his party had to make some short repairs here.

Because the "mountain defenders" here had been beaten to the point where they could no longer fight, all of them gave up and went down the mountain, so they had to wait for the next climber to come up and then have a fight before the winner could continue going up.

Just looking at the former "mountain guard" team who helped each other down the mountain with bruises and swollen faces, Meng Lang could imagine how tough the other party was.

I guess I wanted to start a round-robin battle, but the group was wiped out...

Although Li Lei was a bit heavy-handed, in a sense, he was opening the way for them, making them lose many "strong enemies"?

Meng Lang took a nice sip of herbal tea and looked at Xiao Yu who was going around handing out water and snacks to everyone, and couldn't help feeling a little strange...

"I said, isn't Xiaoyu's physical strength a bit too good?"

Although he and Lin Haitang were not martial arts practitioners, they still exercised regularly and were not exhausted after climbing for more than an hour.

But ordinary people like Da Lang, who are obviously pampered in daily life, can't hold on.

Because Xiao Yu is young, he should be at least in the same state as Da Wave at this time.

"Maybe it's because I often do housework. I have good physical strength and excellent sports scores. I heard that I even won the championship in the long-distance running competition in the school sports meeting." Lin Haitang said with a smile.

"Well……"

Are all-around geniuses so scary?

No wonder he was the first to master brain overclocking. Maybe this is not an accident?

Is it possible that this ability must be a genius with comprehensive development of "moral, intellectual, physical, artistic, and physical skills" so that it is easier to master?

When Meng Lang touched his chin and thought.

However, Yan Weiwei spent a long time in front of a pillar of the pavilion, carefully examining it, and even touched it with her hand.

"Weiwei, what are you looking at?" Lin Haitang handed over a cup of herbal tea.

"Here... there is a fist mark. It looks like it was left just now."

Lin Haitang looked at the pillar, and there was indeed a light mark left on it. The color of the surrounding wood was very new, as if it had just been left there not long ago.

Yan Feng came over after hearing this and used his finger to indicate the depth of the fist mark.

Then he patted the pillar again, listened to the sound, and judged the hardness of the pillar, with a serious look on his face.

"He is a master. This kind of strength cannot be achieved by ordinary people. I am afraid it is probably left behind by Li Lei in the last competition."

Everyone came around curiously.

After all, the "impression" Li Lei left on everyone along the way was a bit too profound.

“Bajiquan emphasizes ‘no fight, no fight, just one strike’, and it is an extremely ferocious boxing technique.

But it is both strong and soft, and the virtual and the real are combined. For Li Lei to be able to deliver such a punch, he must have integrated the strength of his muscles and bones and reached the peak of his strength.

Judging from his physique, his energy, blood, and muscles are also in peak condition. What's even more frightening is that he has quite a lot of actual combat experience, and his attacks are ruthless and without any scruples.

This person...should not be underestimated!

If nothing else, I’m afraid he will be one of the strong contenders for the summit this time!”

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Weiwei, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Meng Lang nodded.

He quite recognized Yan Feng's judgment regarding the matter rather than the person.

Yan Weiwei stopped at ninth, but the book didn't say what rank Li Lei reached. Maybe "nothing unexpected", this guy might be the original "Guanzhong Hero"...

"This Li Lei is too ruthless and has offended so many people. Does he really have any scruples?" Junior Sister Kong asked with some confusion.

Although this Jianghu circle respects strength, it is also a human society, and it is important to keep a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

You've offended everyone to death. Even if you reach the top, aren't you afraid of being squeezed out by your peers and wearing small shoes?

"I heard that Master Li of Bajiquan was also a genius when he was young and had outstanding strength. However, when he was competing with others, he was severely injured in the heart and lungs. Since then, the root of the disease has been left and his strength has been greatly reduced.

Fortunately, his master betrothed his childhood sweetheart's daughter to another talented disciple who was valued.

As a result, Master Li's temperament changed drastically and he became surly.

When his disciples compete with others, they are always ruthless and merciless."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case!

Another classic case where hateful people must be pitiable...

"Being ruthless is one thing, but it may not be a climbing strategy of the other party." Meng Lang touched his chin.

"What should I say?" Yan Weiwei looked over.

"According to the rules, the defender not only has to face the challengers coming up from the mountain, but also the losers coming down from the mountain.

The higher you go, the more intense the competition becomes. Even if you reach the top, the challenges will continue and become stronger and stronger.

After all, people are not made of iron. The continuous wheel battles are an extremely severe test for the physical strength of climbers.

Therefore, reducing the number of times you are challenged will increase the probability of winning...

If you look at our psychological changes, you will know that along the way, everyone has seen the losers along the way. Is there a lot of psychological pressure?

If you were an ordinary climber, once you meet that Li Lei, would you have to think twice before challenging him?

Those who are of similar strength will consider whether it is worthwhile to fight against such an opponent and lose both sides, thereby stopping the current ranking.

Not to mention those with poor strength, I'm afraid they will be so frightened that they will simply admit defeat.

It's better to be ranked than to be eliminated directly, right?

Therefore, the other party's approach was to make things difficult first and then make things easier, using this drastic method to scare away a large number of climbers.

With fewer people challenging him, he will have more time to rest and wait for work...

This is like a long-distance running. Some people run steadily and take every step, while others choose to strike later, conserving their energy first and then sprinting at the last critical moment.

The opponent is more ruthless. He starts sprinting right away. It seems to show a desperate gap, but in fact it is just difficult first and then easy, and he gains an advantage for himself by disrupting other people's rhythm."

"Well... Xiao Meng, what you said makes sense! This is probably the other party's psychological warfare!" Kong Wu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Everyone looked like they were suddenly enlightened.

Don't tell me, after such an analysis, everyone's pressure on Li Lei has been reduced a lot.

After all, conspiracy is not terrible, but being crushed by strength is terrible...

"Ha! I didn't expect you to think of this level. It seems that you are good at psychology?"

Yan Feng looked like I had long thought of him.

It was that sinister tone of voice that made Meng Lang want to curse.

It’s not over, right?

I'm here to make a mountain climbing guide for you, friendly forces! How about friendly forces!

How did this contrarian monster become the head of the family?

How did he know that this wave of psychological warfare analysis completely confirmed the fact that he was not a "stupid young man" at all...

Meng Lang sat back angrily and started eating melon seeds.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the little old man Yan Feng walked up to him seemingly casually.

When no one was around, I left a sentence with a somewhat unnatural look on my face.

"Weiwei is too stubborn, I'm afraid she won't give up easily. If...remember to help me persuade her!"

Looking at Yan Feng's somewhat rickety back as he left.

Meng Lang was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly.

Say the harshest words and do the gentlest things... Maybe this is my father.

This guy……

It is a combination of old people becoming bad and bad people becoming old.
