Chapter 349 - 216: The New Battle Begins
Dwayne Johnson certainly remembered that competition, and it was clear as day, for it was he who had recommended Li Ang to participate in the slap contest.
Afterward, Li Ang had claimed the championship in his own weight class and even secured the title in the overall championship in the Unlimited Weight Class.
On that stage, he had flattened a competitor weighing over four hundred pounds with a slap; if that didn’t prove his strength, nothing could.
Compared to the behemoth weighing over four hundred pounds, his current rival, a bodybuilder weighing under three hundred pounds, was practically a lightweight.
"I was overthinking this, dear Li, the rival you’ve chosen is bound to bring a huge amount of attention to our show, you know, the audience loves such contrasts."
So, three days before the show began, the match-up was announced.
The eyes of the world were on Tour de France champion Li Ang, as his rival was the bodybuilder weighing 278 pounds, Pius Juli.
As soon as the news broke and a poster exaggerating the physical contrast between the two was released, the popularity of "Titan Games" immediately soared to new heights.
A large number of internet surfers also left their comments beneath the official announcement.
"I still don’t understand why Li Ang would join such a sports variety show; it’s clearly not his forte. How much money did the organizers give him?"
