Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 435: Immortal Enlightenment
Looking at the tower of bowling balls in front of him, the memory of his past failure came to his mind, and the Balance Immortal took a few steps back slowly and carefully...

"This time, I won't make the same mistake again!"

With a slight smile, he took out a child's non-slip footstool from behind him and placed it in front of the "bowling tower" that was almost as tall as himself.

"Come on, transcend your own 'balance', now is the time..."

With steps that were silent and vibration-free, the Balance Immortal stepped onto the footstool, picked up the "seventh ball" representing the world record, and gently suspended it above the sixth ball...

Watching the Immortal of Balance constantly fine-tuning the bowling ball with his hands, searching for the "balance point", the people in the studio became so nervous that they even forgot to breathe, fearing that any action they made would cause the bowling tower to collapse.

"found it!"

Suddenly, a smug smile appeared on the face of the Balance Immortal.

"Everything is under control. The world's 'balance' will reach a whole new level!"

His hands slowly left the bowling ball and spread out to both sides. He faced the "bowling tower" and posed as if embracing the world.

The seventh bowling ball rested motionless at the top.

A tower of seven bowling pins, stacked vertically and without collapsing, appeared.

"Steady! Seven bowling balls, a new world record is born!!!"

After a few seconds, the host's exclamation and the celebratory BGM played by the staff resounded throughout the stage.

"Confirmed, no one fell down within five seconds, record established!"

The official staff of Chickens nearby also carefully used the "special recording camera" in their hands to record the whole process.

"Well, next, please invite our guest Xia Fan to try to challenge the secret of the Balance Immortal!"

Then, in the excited atmosphere, Xia Fan, who was still applauding, walked to the bowling ball under the guidance of the host.

"Well, just stacking two balls together seems difficult..."

Xia Fan held the heavy bowling ball and tried to put it up, but he always lost his balance the moment he let go.

"The reason why bowling balls with round and smooth surfaces can be stacked together is because of the balance brought by their own 'weight'."

"To achieve this effect, the key is to feel the bowling ball with your body and find the 'balance point'..."

The Immortal of Balance standing nearby was obviously in a good mood and was reminding everyone of the tricks like a teacher.

Having just broken the world record, he was well aware of the difficulty involved and didn't think Xia Fan could accomplish it easily.

“Feel it with your body…find the balance…”

Xia Fan held the bowling ball tightly in both hands, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes...

In the third-person perspective unique to the [Puppet Head], he slowly, accurately, and steadily adjusted the contact point of the bowling ball, loosening his grip slightly to sense the degree of shaking of the ball...

"found it."

The moment a point of contact without any shaking appeared, Xia Fan confidently let go of his hand.

"Xia Fan, two balls, challenge successful!"

When he opened his eyes, two bowling balls were in the shape of an "8", standing firmly in place.

"Thanks to the immortal's enlightenment, I understand!"

For Xia Fan, who can perfectly control his body movements, once he has mastered the trick, the rest is just simple, repetitive, mechanical movements...

"Three... four... five... six..." Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Xia Fan adjusted the frequency of a ball in an average of ten seconds, and built a "bowling tower" at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The understated feeling is as if he is not "balancing" a smooth and round bowling ball, but a worker building a wall on a construction site.

Because he was ten centimeters taller than the Master of Balance, Xia Fan did not use the children's stool. He stacked the seventh ball before anyone could react.

"Once you master the rules and techniques, it's easier than you think... No more balls?"

After doing all this, Xia Fan looked at the empty ground, seeming to be a little unsatisfied.

Because the Balance Master only intended to break the "one ball" record, the program team did not prepare any extra balls.

"So soon... already seven?!"

"It's...it's tied...Xia Fan tied the world record that the immortal just set!"

Just when the host was so captivated by this scene and had not yet organized his words, director Ozu behind the camera raised his arms and cheered like a crazy fan who had witnessed a goal.

"Ahem, this project allows for comparison of completion times..."

"Mr. Xia Fan took a shorter time, so he became the new record holder."

An official worker from Chicken checked the video and confirmed it awkwardly.

"Ah? So my previous record has been broken?!"

The Balance Immortal's smile gradually disappeared, and he fell to his knees helplessly.

"All these years of hard training...what on earth was it for..."

"Could it be that this is the 'balance' that fate has bestowed upon me?"

He never thought that his record would be broken by someone else less than ten minutes after he broke it, making him the "shortest world record holder".

"Balance Immortal... please don't leave yet. Isn't there a bowling yoga performance arranged at the end?"

“What, you’re feeling unbalanced? But…but…”

Accompanied by staff, the Yoga Immortal left in a daze.

The success of the challenge just now was the result of his extraordinary efforts. He had no confidence that he could complete it in a shorter time, so naturally he had no intention of challenging himself again in a shorter time.

"Ahem... Thank you three immortals for bringing us this wonderful secret. Congratulations on their successful breaking of the world record..."

"And our guest Xia Fan showed amazing talent for action and successfully completed today's challenge..."

Although the ending was unexpected, the three immortals have completed their appearance and today's recording ends here.

The stingy program crew, who have always been stingy and never provided meals, unexpectedly prepared luxurious working meals for several guests.

"Mr. Xia, your performance today was simply amazing. You once again defended the honor of our guest!"

In the guest lounge, while enjoying a sumptuous lunch box delivered from a Michelin three-star restaurant, Tetsuji Tetsuda was still loudly praising the recording just now.

"Senior Tietian, you are too kind. As a guest, I don't have any honor to defend..."

Xia Fan held his lunch box and nimbly dodged the spit and rice grains sprayed by the other party.

"That's because you don't know. In the dozens of episodes I've recorded, all the embarrassing moments I've made have been edited into a collection by netizens. For example, when I visited the 'Water-Drifting Fairy', I slipped and fell into the river..."

Tetsuji Tetsuda talked incessantly about his shameful past in "The Secret of Immortals".
