Chapter 57 Overlord

Lifting 25kg with one hand isn't anything particularly surprising.

The only thing the audience found somewhat interesting was Logan's nonchalant demeanor; he didn't even break a sweat, as if he were carrying a mere styrofoam box.

He gently placed the smallest cauldron down without disturbing a single pebble.

He walked to the second bronze cauldron and, with the same action and expression, raised it above his head with one hand again.

Some discussion arose in the crowd. If the contestants hadn't personally experienced the weight of the two tripods, they would definitely have jumped out at this moment to angrily accuse the motherboard manufacturer of counterfeiting.

"He's such a show-off!"

Logan overheard George chatting with the hooded man in the players' area.

"I think he's just a showman who creates hype. I bet one of the audience members filming him has his team."

"Hmph! You're right."

The masked man agreed with his point of view.

"With his physique and muscles, he can only lift up to 100kg at most; 50kg is already his limit with one hand."

With the blessing of the Seraphim's [Hearing Secrets], Logan could hear their conversation clearly.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Logan walked to the 75kg bronze cauldron and secretly released a moderate amount of [Dry Moisture] to activate his muscles to a greater extent.

Those two heavyweights weren't even warming up.

He previously had a bench press strength of 150kg, and after upgrading with [Courageous Burst], his upper body maximum strength has reached 300kg.

Even if he has never trained in the clean and jerk, lifting 200kg with both hands should not be a problem.

Logan still intends to use one hand to work on this cauldron.

He felt some pressure, not because of the weight, but because the cauldron was large and the weight was unevenly distributed.

Fortunately, his maximum strength was great enough that he used numerical values ​​to suppress his trembling arm and lifted the entire cauldron with one hand.

"If he can carry 75kg with one hand, wouldn't that mean he needs to carry 150kg with both hands?"

"You don't understand. I think he also has the potential to challenge 175kg. In fact, this competition may even see an unprecedented three-way tie for the championship."

"No, I think it's a bit too strange. He doesn't look like someone who can lift 75kg with one hand so easily. There's not even any sign of drugs on his muscles."

The audience below the stage were buzzing with discussion, but the contestants were much quieter, all eager to see just how high the last contestant could lift the ball.

"Impossible..."

George only said one word.

"Damn..."

The masked man only uttered one word; his shock, even the mask couldn't hide, was fully revealed in his eyes.

He is confident that he can handle 50kg with one hand, but 75kg is out of the question. He would be very careful to avoid injury to his shoulder, elbow and wrist if he tried to do it.

Logan saw his vulnerability, but it wasn't enough.

Let the bullets fly a little longer.

There was little controversy about lifting 100kg and 125kg with both hands; everyone present assumed that it was a sure thing, and their focus was on the three tripods that followed.

150kg, based on previous performances, this should be Logan's limit for the weight he can lift with both hands.

Or at least he should have acted as if he was struggling.

"This isn't right... why does he still seem like he's not putting in much effort?"

George was genuinely surprised, and he wasn't faking it. A bench press of 150kg means strong upper body strength, but a clean and jerk of 150kg means strong overall body strength.

The masked man had a gloomy face and remained silent.

His awards are gone, but that doesn't matter anymore; he just wants to see how many more this guy can win.

175kg, the current record.

When Logan walked to the second largest bronze cauldron, everyone held their breath.

Logan tensed all his muscles and lifted the bottom of the cauldron with both hands.

"It's not very heavy."

With his body still having energy left, he lifted the cauldron above his head for three seconds, then slowly lowered it down.

The impact was very soft, but the scene was so quiet that everyone could hear the faint sound clearly.

"He hasn't used his full strength yet!"

"Let's try the last one!"

"This is a bit too fake..."

The praise overshadowed the doubts, and most viewers just wanted to continue watching the spectacle.

"This is definitely fishy! Look at how he lifts the tripod, from the first to the seventh, there's absolutely no difference! He must have used some kind of power-enhancing device!"

George's tone was excited, but his voice was soft, only loud enough for him and the Hooded Man to hear.

"It's really suspicious, and I will definitely report it to the organizers and have them check him."

The masked man had made up his mind and was no longer depressed.

If they are a little stronger than me, that's normal. But if they are much stronger than me, then they must have opened up!

Logan paused for a few seconds before the last cauldron, exchanged a glance with George, and received the message that the fish had taken the bait.

Come on!

"Go on!"

Amidst cheers and encouragement, Logan began to exert himself.

He mustered all his energy and mobilized every muscle in his body. The courage to challenge the unknown transformed into power at that moment.

The limits and the cauldron rise in sync.

Logan's muscles were engorged with blood and his veins were bulging. He looked completely different from before.

The bronze cauldron slowly climbed up to his head and stopped above him.

1 seconds

2 seconds

3 seconds

Still going on!

Those who reacted quickly took out their phones and captured this crucial moment.

The foreign Douyin (TikTok) content creator invited by the organizers has already come up with a short-term name: "Overlord Lifting the Tripod".

They, along with other spectators who initially didn't understand the meaning of the competition's name, now understood what "Overlord" truly meant.

That's the one on the stage.

4 seconds

5 seconds

6 seconds

I can still hold on.

George finally remembered his job and continued to incite:

"How could he possibly hold that weight for so long?"

"Damn it, how dare he be so blatant? Wouldn't it be better to stop at 175kg? Why did he have to keep pushing towards 200kg? I'd be doing this competition a disservice if I didn't report him now."

The masked man sneered, his shock turning into disdain.

7 seconds

8 seconds

9 seconds.

Logan slowly put the cauldron down and let out a sigh of relief.

"200kg! A new record has been set! A new champion has been born!"

The host seized the opportunity and brought the atmosphere to a climax.

"Wow!!!"

The cheers drowned out all the noise, and the host raised Logan's left hand to greet the audience in all directions.

During this process, Logan exchanged glances with Jonah and Sean, who were separated on either side, and the latter two understood each other perfectly.

It was their turn to take the stage.

After the cheers subsided, Sean led the way in making different noises:

"Cheating! He definitely cheated!"

While accusing Logan, Sean also engaged the audience.

"We all saw it, eight tripods! He lifted each one so easily! The heaviest one, in fact, took him the longest to lift!"

"Yes! There must be a ghost!"

Jonah chimed in from the other side.

"He must be hiding some high-tech gadgets in his clothes! Check under his hoodie for anything!"

Some easily swayed spectators and those who loved a good spectacle immediately formed a large group:

"Check his clothes!"

The host was somewhat embarrassed. He looked at Logan, unsure of what to do.

Logan glanced at George, who received the signal and delivered the final blow.
