Chapter 93: Duel!!
The beauties who climbed to the top one after another, then swung down again through the ropes. This curvaceous figure and confident demeanor really made girls believe that rock climbing can slim down, boys believe that rock climbing can strengthen their physique, and even have the opportunity to get in close contact with beauties from the club.
The students who were originally hesitant immediately ran over to sign up in large numbers.
"These must be outsiders who were invited." Cao Ronghua said suspiciously.
Hao Ren shook his head. Although he didn't like Huang Xujie, he believed that with Huang's charm, it wouldn't be difficult to recruit some beautiful girls into the club.
Then, four more beauties went up and down, followed by another four beauties going up and down. Three batches of beauties took turns appearing on stage, which was also a treat for the boys watching.
After the three consecutive performances by the girls, Huang Xujie arranged for some club members to do a quick rock climb. Seeing their agile figures and nimble movements, the boys became even more convinced that rock climbing could make them sharp and majestic.
"Those who want to join the club, first pay 200 yuan as registration fee, and then report for duty next week after the collective training..." Huang Xujie arranged manpower to register students while shouting through a loudspeaker.
"After joining the club, you have to pay 100 yuan for the collective training, and then there's the formal training. You also need to buy your own rock climbing equipment, which costs around 200-300 yuan per person. If you want to quit, the registration fee and training fee are non-refundable..." Zhao Jiaxin, who knew the process, said to Hao Ren.
No wonder the rock climbing club became the largest club in Donghai University, Hao Ren sneered inwardly. And the money they collected also became the club's funds for these old members to go on "adventure trips".
This overbearing behavior has been reported to the school before, but Huang Xujie is the son of the vice mayor, and these club matters can be big or small, so the school doesn't want to provoke this hot potato.
Seeing that the number of new students on the net was almost there, Huang Xujie wanted to net another batch. Holding the loudspeaker, he said, "Today we are recruiting for the club, and usually this climbing board is not available for use by students outside the club. However, today, we can make an exception and let students who want to try it out give it a try."
"He continued, 'Of course, we have to make it a bit more challenging. The blocks that were climbed earlier were 10 meters high, now the ones coming up to challenge are going to climb this 15-meter-high block. Whoever can climb to the top will get this set of 1800-yuan worth of top-notch equipment!'"
Huang Xujie pointed to a set of black branded sportswear on the table behind him.
Upon hearing the news, the boys were eager to give it a try, but no one dared to be the first to go up and try - after all, there were so many girls watching, especially with so many beauties present. If they were the first to rush up and challenge, only to fail in front of everyone, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
15 meters is usually the height of a competition, how can someone who has never practiced rock climbing get a prize?
And there are so few fixed points set from bottom to top, the difficulty coefficient is not ordinary high!
Zhou Liren actually wanted to try too, but he knew that although his body was tall and large, it was still a homebody's physique. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave up.
And Zhao Jiaxin, who loved sports and had the best physical fitness in their dormitory, couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Yu Rong and the others had already discovered Zhao Jiaxin and the others at this time. At this moment, they saw Zhao Jiaxin excitedly wiping his palms, and immediately urged him to shout, "Zhao Jiaxin, go for it!"
These boys usually have a good relationship, and at this moment they all shouted together, their voices suddenly ringing out.
At this scene, Zhao Jiaxin was "wearing a yellow robe", and he couldn't help but walk into the arena, "Alright! I'll give it a try!"
Huang Xujie saw Zhao Jiatian walking over and recognized him as the one who had eaten with Hao Ren at Hongji Square last time. He felt a bit displeased in his heart, but still managed to keep a straight face and said encouragingly, "Great! Everyone cheer for the appearance of our first brave warrior!"
In the crowd of onlookers, sparse applause broke out. In fact, everyone didn't believe that this not-so-tall student could really climb to the top.
The deputy captain of the rock climbing club, Lu Bo, equipped Zhao Jiatian with various safety equipment and led him to the bottom of a 15-meter boulder.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Jiatun.
Zhao Jiayun stood below, took a deep breath, looked up at the sparse, colorful protrusions above, lifted his right foot, stepped on the first foothold, grasped other handholds with both hands, and started climbing upwards.
"Jia Yun Zhao, jiayou!" Yu Rong shouted loudly.
The other boys in the class also started shouting loudly.
Before he knew it, Zhao Jiaxin had already climbed to one-third of the height and was now five meters high. He waved his hand at Yu Rong and the others on the ground, looking very confident.
Climbing is getting harder and harder as you go up. It's not just because of the physical exhaustion, but also because these fixed points are designed to be more tricky as you ascend.
Zhao Jiaxin is not tall, and his hands and feet are not long either. However, these fixed points seem to be getting farther and farther apart from each other, making it a bit hard for him to grasp.
Crack! Zhao Jiaxin jumped slightly in mid-air, his right hand slapping onto one of the fixed points, while his left foot switched to another.
He... He stuck to the simulated stone wall and let out a long breath.
Five minutes have passed, and Hao Ren and Xie Yu Jia, who are standing below looking up, also feel a little frightened.
But Huang Xujie, who was standing by the table, had a different idea - this guy is a monster, he hasn't received systematic rock climbing training, but he can still climb so high!
"Zhao Jiaxin is really impressive!" Yu Rong originally just wanted to see Zhao Jiaxin make a fool of himself so he could mock him, but with his head held high, he saw that Zhao Jiaxin had already climbed to two-thirds of the height and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In mid-air, Zhao Jiatian shook his slightly sore fingers and twisted his shoulders, continuing to climb upwards.
Huang Xujie saw that something was wrong and gave a signal with his eyes to the deputy captain.
Zhao Jiaxin, who had already climbed over 10 meters high, was faced with another difficult fixed point. He adjusted his breathing and decided to use the same trick again, making a small jump to grab that fixed point.
At this moment, Hao Ren also held his breath and became a bit tense. Before, he just thought Zhao Jia Chen was good at playing basketball, but he didn't expect him to have such strong athletic talent in other areas as well.
Crack! Zhao Jiaxin looked in the right direction and jumped up.
At this moment, the rope hanging from his head suddenly swayed!
Zhao Jiaxin, who was originally in the air, failed to grasp the balance due to this subtle change. His right hand grabbed a fixed point but didn't hold tight, and his entire body suddenly lost support, falling from 10 meters high!
It is unclear whether it was an accident or intentional, but the rope that should have caught the falling personnel did not tighten in time!
Hao Ren's eyes saw that things were not going well, and he suddenly rushed out of the crowd like a cheetah! Almost pouncing on him! He stretched out his hands to catch Zhao Jiaxin!
Whoa! Zhao Jiatong, who had been free-falling for several meters and was almost out of his wits, finally felt the rope tied to him tighten up!
Even so, Zhao Jiatian continued to fall, and when he reached Hao Ren's hands, the rope steadied him, alleviating more than half of the impact of the fall!
Zhao Jiaxin pulled the rope and stood on the ground, his face pale. And standing in front of the crowd, watching Zhao Jiaxin's rock climbing process at close range, Xie Yuja covered her mouth with her hand, also startled into a cold sweat.
Hao Ren's eyesight was incredibly sharp at the moment, he recalled Zhao Jiaxin's fall and that strange fluctuation of the rope, then he knew there was a problem.
Others may not notice, thinking it's just Zhao Jiatun jumping and swinging the rope, but Hao Ren knows that the rope moved first!
Unfortunately, there is no evidence for all of this!
Hao Ren let go of Zhao Jiaxin's shoulder and turned to Huang Xujie, his eyes blazing with anger. He raised his hand and said, "You, I want to compete with you!"
