Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 274 - 183 New Skills3

However, Li Ang actually managed to hang from that rock with a single hand, which almost required a perverse level of finger strength, because it wasn’t just about hanging on, but most importantly, the initial velocity from the jump added an impact in that instant, demanding even greater finger strength to support.

After Li Ang hung there with one hand, he brought the other hand up, and with his feet dangling, he did a two-arm lock-off on the rock face, hoisting his body up.

Then, he supported his body with one hand, while the other hand grasped another, higher rock, and he smoothly climbed up.

By then, he was at the sa height as Gwen.

Although Gwen sowhat disdained him for pretending to be a novice, she couldn’t help but admire him. Based on that move Li Ang just showed, he was definitely at the expert level.

Fuleiia, on the other hand, had a stronger ability to accept this, because after seeing Li Ang’s performance at the martial arts exchange et, she had long known that his physical condition definitely should not be asured by the standards of ordinary people.

Even though rock climbing also emphasizes physical fitness, the specific parts of the body it utilizes are different from most mainstream sports, which ans having good physical fitness doesn’t necessarily an one will be able to adapt to this sport.

So, Li Ang’s performance undoubtedly reinforced his tough-guy image in Fuleiia’s mind once again.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ang reached the sa height as Fuleiia. Originally, he planned to surpass these two and then continue back to this 5.9 difficulty rated route.

But after getting here, Li Ang realized that he might not need to go back; following this route seed like it could take him to the top as well.

Li Ang was not familiar with this particular route, but the coach below knew very well, this route wasn’t an official one.

At the beginning, those experienced coaches had also conducted a rough assessnt of this route and concluded that it was at least a 5.13b difficulty level.

Just hearing the number might not seem like much, but you should know that among the professional rock climbing coaches, only one forr professional climber had managed to top out on this route.

This route hadn’t even been marked because the club didn’t believe any amateur climbers could challenge it.

And now, Li Ang was making progress on this unmarked route. Although he joined midway, even from just this part of his climb and the speed at which he was climbing, at least the coach that had instructed Li Ang admitted to himself that he couldn’t reach that level.

The higher up he got, the greater the difficulty of the climb beca, but that was exactly what Li Ang liked, those monts when he challenged himself.

So of the recent competitions he had attended made him realize that competing against others had beco less challenging for him. Now, trying to contend with nature itself seed to bring him so joy.

With only the last quarter of the route left, Li Ang finally hit a barrier.

It wasn’t that he was incapable of climbing it, but he had only learned so basic moves and, obviously, the barrier in front of him couldn’t be overco with these elentary thods.

"Hey! Did you notice the depression about sixty centiters to the right of your hand? Use that as a foothold, then let yourself hang upside down..."

Suddenly, that sa coach below started giving him hints on how to get past the obstacle.

As much as he made it sound straightforward, copying an answer is easy, but doing it yourself is hard. Everyone who had seen the retired professional climber coach climbing knew that this was the technique, but in the end, no one else managed to climb it.

The reason that the coach below reminded him was that he wanted to see if a second person could successfully challenge this route. Given Li Ang’s demonstrated physical attributes so far, the coach believed he had the potential.

The words from the coach below gave Li Ang a new train of thought. He stretched out his hand and gestured an OK sign to the people below, then began to act.

But aside from the first step that he took as instructed, Li Ang did not choose the validated approach; instead, he experinted with a new thod that he had just figured out.

The coach was frowning below, wondering if Li Ang hadn’t heard his instructions clearly when Li Ang suddenly leapt forward and broke through the obstacle.

With his [Spirit] attribute now surpassing the human limit, after absorbing sufficient knowledge, he was quickly able to combine the current environnt with his physical condition to derive a new thod.

The reason Li Ang was stuck here initially was also due to a lack of knowledge in rock climbing; even for a prodigy, you couldn’t expect him to write an essay in English with only a few dozen words of vocabulary.

Five minutes later, Li Ang successfully topped out on the route, and his [Rock Climbing] skill could only be upgraded to the Proficient level.

In the Trait section, his grip strength boost also increased to 20%.

However, Li Ang’s attention was not focused on the skill upgrade; instead, his body felt a familiar surge and trembled with it.

Break Limit Point 0.1.
