Unknowingly, the finals started at 9: 30 in the morning, and the time slowly went to 11: 00 sharp.
Except for Chen Guang and Chu Zijin, all the contestants had a look of horror on their faces.
Even if this had become a fact in front of everyone, even if in the question-and-answer challenge, Chen Guang had used his irrefutable performance to tell everyone that what they knew, he knew, and what he knew, they didn't necessarily know.
But many people still couldn't accept this reality. They felt that they were dreaming, that all of this was an illusion.
Perhaps when they woke up, they would find that the sky was not bright yet, and the competition had not officially started.
This was all a dream!
But the fact was that the question-and-answer challenge was still going on. At the beginning, everyone was rushing to ask questions, but gradually, everyone's mood was not so enthusiastic.
Everyone followed the instructions on the answer board and took out their own trump card that no one else had used, but it was useless. Chen Guang still answered without thinking.
It was as if he never needed to think.
The number of people in the live broadcast room was still rising.
In recent days, although the ratings of major TV programs had reached new highs, and the number of people online for the live broadcast of Bamboo and Twhich was also constantly breaking records, only a few people had actually watched the live broadcast.
Many people saw the news related to the World Language Club on social media sites such as Weibo or Twitter, and then saw the news reported by those media people, marketing accounts, or current review media. Then these people followed others in the comment section and fiercely criticized Chen Guang's performance.
Although they knew about this matter and understood it on a certain level, because of one reason or another, they were not interested in watching the competition directly.
At first, these people did not intend to watch today's finals directly.
Even if they thought with their toes, they knew that either that person was really shameless enough to bribe the whole competition and turn it into a complete farce.
Or, what was waiting for him was to leave with his tail between his legs.
When something lost its sense of expectation, these people who regarded the World Language Club and Chen Guang as dispensable were even less interested in watching the competition.
But now, all of a sudden, the real-time reports about this match instantly flooded the screen.
Whether it was social media or media information apps, or these people's circle of friends, QQ groups, WeChat groups, or other chat software groups, in offices or classrooms, or even in public restrooms, every corner of the world was talking about this competition.
These people were curious and thought to themselves, 'Why don't we take a look?
Therefore, these people who came from all over the world and spoke a variety of languages casually turned on the TV or clicked on the live broadcast with the thought that it wouldn't hurt them to watch it.
Then they couldn't get away.
At first, they only saw Chen Guang using all kinds of strange languages to chat with the other contestants in a circle, so they didn't think much of it. They even wondered if there was something wrong with the competition being so calm.
But when they slowly understood the temporary rules of the question-and-answer challenge, they were completely dumbfounded.
God!
This program was toxic!
Boss, let me take a day off!
Boss, listen to my explanation. This TV show is too scary. I really wasn't slacking off during work!
Boss, how come you're starting to look like that!
That was basically the rhythm of the entire online world.
Finally, it was noon. At this time, Chen Guang had already displayed the ability to speak more than 150 languages.
In the short span of a morning, he had already broken the highest record in human history!
In order to ensure the fairness and authority of the entire competition, the panel of judges even changed the rules once again.
In the middle, they specially took out ten minutes to check the languages that Chen Guang had used in the question-and-answer challenge with the other contestants. They let the two of them have three simple conversations that lasted more than three minutes in the same language.
Of course, there were no problems with the results. Chen Guang discussed the recent US election in Heslet, which only three hundred people in the world knew. He discussed the recent scandal of the South Korean president in Kuchestnut, which only three thousand people knew. He also discussed the refugee problem in Germany with people in Caucasian.
All the tests and challenges were not a problem for him. To others, switching languages was like facing a formidable enemy, but to him, it was like chatting after a meal. It was easy and casual. On the contrary, the other contestants who were randomly checked to communicate with him were stuttering.
It was not that their level was not up to standard, but they were simply too nervous.
This feeling was like when humans faced a god, they were respectful and humble from the bottom of their hearts.
Even though today, Chen Guang was no longer arrogant and always had a spring breeze-like smile on his face, the oppressive feeling he gave off was even stronger.
The reason was very simple. He no longer needed to use words to show his ability. Every word he said and every word he spat out was a miracle to the world.
After a short break at noon, the competition continued at one o 'clock in the afternoon.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the third round of the question-and-answer challenge was completed, 300 languages.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the fourth round of the question-and-answer challenge was completed, 370 languages.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, the fifth round of the question-and-answer challenge was completed, 460 languages.
Unknowingly, he had challenged 92 people at the same time in the question-and-answer challenge, and it had already reached the sixth round.
The most unacceptable thing was that up until now, he did not show any signs of fatigue.
Anyone who had learned a foreign language knew that when communicating with people in a language that was not their mother tongue, no matter how good they were at it, it would still consume more energy than usual because of the switch in their thinking patterns.
But what about him?
Every sentence was different!
He had been chatting with people for a full six hours, but he did not show any signs of fatigue. He just drank a lot of water and went to the toilet several times.
"I'm sorry, I withdraw from the next question-and-answer challenge, and I also withdraw from this competition. I lost."
At this moment, one of the finalists suddenly raised his hand and said.
He was the first contestant to announce his withdrawal from the competition. The others turned to look at him. In fact, they all knew the reason, but they could not bear to ask him.
The female host, who did not know what was going on, quickly stood up from her chair, "Contestant No. 63, may I ask why you want to withdraw from the competition?"
The contestant's face changed slightly, revealing a painful expression. Then, he took a deep breath, looked at Chen Guang with fear, and said helplessly, "Although I know as many as 33 languages, they are all relatively common. In the previous question-and-answer challenge, all the languages I know have been used once. I … can't ask any questions. Regardless of whether Mr. Chen can really answer all the other contestants in the next round, regardless of whether Mr. Chen may be eliminated, my self-discipline as a scholar makes me too ashamed to continue to stay on this stage. Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous teasing of you in my heart! "
As he said that, he simply raised the answer board in his hand, showing the large number of gray icons on the answer board, which meant that he could not choose, to the audience.
Then, he bowed to Chen Guang, who was sitting in the middle, and then turned around and left without looking back, leaving an empty swivel chair.
Two drops of crystal-clear tears silently fell on the smooth glass floor of the stage.
The well-known linguist from Belgium shed tears on the stage.
Wow!
There was an immediate uproar in the venue.
Before this morning, no one thought that the finals would turn out like this.
No one thought that Chen Guang could actually debate with someone for six hours and use 460 languages!
For a whole six hours, he did not have the slightest bit of hesitation, nor did he stutter. He was always at his fingertips, always using the most precise vocabulary and the most perfect pronunciation to answer his opponent's questions. Even when his opponent could not understand his vocabulary, he could even write down the language on the answer board on the spot and give a live lecture.
This was a stage where almost all the language geniuses of the human race were gathered.
Everyone on this stage, no matter how noble or despicable they were, no matter how old they were or how young they were, there was no doubt that none of them who could pass through the layers of preliminaries to get on this stage were mediocre.
But Chen Guang sat on the fishing platform with the posture of a king, debating with a hundred heroes!
This was the most incredible six hours in human history!
No one knew how he did it.
And no one thought that the human brain had such a terrifying capacity.
There had been studies in the past that said that the human brain might be less than 10% developed. This view might not be completely correct, but there were indeed many blank areas in the brain. There was no doubt about that.
The appearance of Chen Guang seemed to have opened a new door for everyone.
There was no doubt that the potential of human beings was far from reaching its limit.
Where everyone could see, that man was sitting there, and he represented the new world.
There was no need to think about how he did it, they only needed to know that it was already a fact.
Everyone understood that they were witnessing an incredible feat.
Now, finally, there was the first scholar who fell behind.
But everyone knew that if Chen Guang did not make a mistake and continued this question-and-answer challenge, there would be more and more people falling behind!
Sure enough, the question-and-answer challenge continued.
At first, on average, every few minutes, someone would stand up and announce their withdrawal.
Later, the frequency of contestants withdrawing became higher and higher. Almost every time Chen Guang showed a language, one or several contestants would stand up and leave the field together.
The more it went, the more common languages were used up. The languages that Chen Guang and the other contestants showed became more and more uncommon.
At five o 'clock, the sixth round was completed.
At six o 'clock, the seventh round was completed!
At this moment, Chen Guang had shown 644 languages!
There was no repetition at all!
Including Chu Zijin, Butler, and Pu Cangnan, there were only thirty-one contestants left on the stage.
Chu Zijin looked at the last two green languages left on her answer board, and she was silent.
Her heart was beating faster than ever.
It was hard for others to understand her feelings, only she understood.
As a genius who once thought that she was invincible in the world, when she saw another realm of human beings, how excited and excited would she be?
Chen Guang, thank you.
If it wasn't for you, I might have thought that I was already outstanding enough.
I also want to thank this era. If it wasn't for people like you being born in this era, I might still be immersed in this kind of arrogant, yet mediocre life for the rest of my life.
Compared to you, I am as ordinary as a grain of sand on the beach.
From now on, in my heart, you are the goal that I want to chase after.
Perhaps I might not be able to catch up to your back in my life, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can still see the footprints you left on the ground, and run towards you step by step, I will definitely reach the peak of my life.
I will definitely not let this life of mine be wasted!
