Chapter 182: He maneuvered his body through the air–just like a gibbon!
At that moment, the massive object in the distance was a full eight kilometers away from Wang Yun. It was so large that it would be impossible to miss.
“What in the world is that?” Wang Yun exclaimed as he gradually made out the object in front of him.
This mountain was ridiculously steep.
“Pff! My God, it’s a mountain!”
“It’s vertical! Big Brother is doomed!”
“What’s doomed? Just go around it!”
The live audience also saw the mountain and erupted in surprise.
Though Wang Yun initially felt a jolt of fear, he quickly regained his composure.
“There’s no way around this mountain. The other program inspectors must have already surrounded me. With my current speed, I can’t possibly outpace them. It looks like there’s only one way,” Wang Yun analyzed as he ran.
The audience in the live stream, those who understood the implications, got it right away.
“Damn, is big brother planning to climb the mountain? Climbing that mountain!”
Indeed, Wang Yun now had only one path available, up the mountain.
‘Let’s scout the terrain first,’ thought Wang Yun, gritting his teeth as he pushed his speed to its limits.
He managed to cover the eight kilometers in just half an hour, leaving Captain Dragon Hand and his team a full five kilometers behind.
However, while he had shaken off Captain Dragon Hand, Wang Yun could already see Ying Yuezi and Wu Yaoming approaching.
“Huh? They’re fast.”
Just as Wang Yun reached the base of the mountain, his exceptional hearing picked up footsteps a thousand meters away. Heavy, chaotic footsteps interspersed with harsh, ragged breathing. Clearly, another group of program inspectors was on his trail.
“I have to hurry up.”
Wang Yun’s brow furrowed in concern.
At their current pace, it would take them no more than five minutes to cover the thousand meters. In just three minutes, they would have a visual on him. Despite the cover of the trees, the large number of pursuers left Wang Yun little room to maneuver. Feeling the pressure, he immediately looked up and started to carefully assess the mountain before him. ʀAƝȫbËŜ
Although the mountain wasn’t particularly tall, it covered an extensive area. It might as well have been a vast wall obstructing his path. Its ends were not visible on either side. Wang Yun couldn’t even estimate the thickness of this ‘wall’. Thus, his only option was to scale the mountain.
“Wow, the power in his legs and arms is just inhuman. Oh, forgot to mention, I’m a sports professional!”
“Look! Big Brother with one hand! He swung his body up. He aims for that rock crevice about three meters ahead on his right!”
“Ah, I can’t watch! If he slips and falls from that height, it’ll hurt so much!”
“Mommy! Big Brother made it!”
The livestream audience was in awe. They marveled as Wang Yun leaped onto the mountain and, using only his right hand, grabbed onto a small stone and hoisted himself up.
The stone was too small, and there was a crevice about three meters away. Wang Yun’s gaze was fixed precisely on that spot.
He resembled a gibbon, using the stone gripped in his right hand as a pivot point. He swung his body back and forth a couple of times, building momentum through inertia to sway side to side. Harnessing this momentum, Wang Yun’s legs launched upwards as his body soared through the air.
At that moment, Wang Yun appeared to be performing Qinggong, a form of light-body martial arts.
Without any apparent leverage, his limbs functioned like those of a gecko, swiftly propelling him upwards. With a swift motion, he seized the crevice three meters above him.
This was beyond human.
“It’s simpler than I thought,” Wang Yun quipped, his voice cutting through the tension.
As the live audience absorbed his miraculous climb, his cheeky remark sent viewers furiously typing away at their keyboards.
“Easy?”
“Easier than I thought?”
“Big Brother, you’re not human at all!”
“There’s no leverage point, it’s like you flew up there. How is that easy?”
“Do you have a Doraemon propeller on your head or something? Damn!”

As Wang Yun commenced his ascent, at that very moment, Ying Yuezi and Wu Yaoming’s team rapidly closed in from a distance.
Suddenly, one of the team members shouted, “Captain, there’s someone on the mountain.”
“On the mountain? Impossible!” Ying Yuezi immediately denied the claim. “That mountain is practically vertical with no points for support. It’s impossible for anyone to be up there. Hurry up!”
