Chapter 351 - 217: The Hydraulic Press is Named Li Ang
Li Ang had deliberately done this, not for showing off, but for the sake of the show’s ratings, which was something he and Dwayne Johnson had discussed at the beginning.
If he happened to hold a significant advantage, he could afford to "give away" some ground, which would help engage the audience’s emotions, leaving a deeper impression of the program and aiding in boosting subsequent viewer ratings.
For Li Ang himself, there were certainly benefits as well; the more outrageous his maneuvers, the more exaggerated his performance, the more attention he would attract. Consequently, he would earn more Break Limit Points. These were tactics he had come to understand during the Tour de France.
Unlike Pius Juli, who charged forward relentlessly, Li Ang seemed to amble leisurely.
So while Li Ang had only covered a quarter of the entire arc-shaped platform, Pius Juli had already pushed the wooden door to confront him.
Almost all the audience had already reached a conclusion for this round. With a significant weight difference between the two, and faced with the door’s immense inertia, even if Li wanted to start resisting, it was too late. The only outcome was to be forced off the platform like dead wood being swept away.
But faced with the wooden door that was now close at hand, Li Ang simply bent his knees slightly and then suddenly thrust his body forward, slamming into the door.
For a moment, Pius Juli wondered if his wooden door had gotten stuck or if it had reached its limit because he had just experienced its speed going from fast to zero in an instant, which jolted his arms painfully.
However, when he instinctively glanced to his side, he found that the wooden door had not been pushed to the end at all; it had only moved three-quarters of the distance. What was going on?
The possibility of Li Ang successfully blocking the door in an instant had never crossed his mind from start to finish.
