Montana is the largest agricultural and animal husbandry base in the United States. The herders who grow here are like men on the Mongolian grasslands, born with brave and aggressive blood.

The Billings stop of the National Professional Bull Riding Championship is the last stop of this year's tour and the most watched stop. Fourteen professional riders from all over the world compete with the prize money qualifying riders who will be selected.

These include Brazilian star Ronaldi and last year's PBR champion Johnson.

Major media from the United States and the world gathered at Billings Crown Football Stadium, a game venue that can accommodate 100,000 people.

Liu Wei and O'Neill ended their trip to the grassland early and arrived in Billings late at night.

O'Neill is very optimistic about Liu Wei. After getting along with him for a week, in his eyes, Liu Wei can subdue a North African bull as easily as eating.

"Hey! My brother, I have found someone to take care of the registration for you. I will take you to see the venue tomorrow. You don't have to do anything these two days. Have a good rest. I want to see you in Los Angeles!" O'Neal! He sat next to Liu Wei, patted Liu Wei on the shoulder and said.

Liu Wei said modestly: "I will be very satisfied if I can enter the main draw. Los Angeles may be a little difficult!"

After that, he took out his mobile phone and started watching the game video and some game information.

The rules of the bull riding competition are not complicated. As long as the rider can stay on the back of the North African bull for eight seconds, he will be considered subdued.

The referee's scoring criteria will be based on the player's posture, the height of the bison, etc. In layman's terms, it is the visual impact.

If the contestant cannot subdue the bull, that is, he does not stay on the bull's back for more than eight seconds, it cannot be counted as subduing, and the contestant's final score is only the score given by the referee to the bull, and the contestant himself does not score.

The rules of the bonus qualifying competition that Liu Wei signed up for were paid by the second, 400 US dollars per second. Each player had two rounds of participation opportunities. After two rounds, the cumulative bonus reached 2,500 US dollars, and he qualified for the main competition.

Simply put, contestants in both rounds must stay on the back of the bull for at least seven seconds.

This rule is already very loose. After all, amateurs are participating. Many amateur riders can’t even reach seven seconds in the two rounds of bonus qualifying.

In some cases, the bull fell to the ground less than a second after the timer started.

This situation is very common.

The North African bull used in the bull riding competition is known as the "King of the Plains".

A guy who can take down a pride of lions.

Whether it is size or strength, it is one of the best among bovine animals, firmly occupying the bison's dominance.

Of course, the North African bulls used in bull riding competitions are not pure North African bison, but bulls raised through free-range breeding.

The cattle used in Spanish bullfighting performances are also free-range North African bison.

Although it is free-range, in its eyes, it is similar to humans and ants. If it gets angry, it will still be trampled to death.

After watching the video, Liu Wei closed his eyes and lay on the bed. He made a simple calculation in his mind. If he could stay on the back of the bull for seven seconds in the first round, he would be advanced and would not need to participate in the second round.

Because it is one round of promotion, the overall ranking will be higher, saving a lot of energy, and maybe there will be a chance to reach the finals in Los Angeles.

Smiled slightly and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Wei started the live broadcast, full of energy, "Brothers, I will take you to see the competition venue today, Billings Crown Football Stadium!"

"You mean you've decided to participate?"

"Nonsense, can Ah Wei not participate?"

"Not to mention bull riding, if the Colosseum is still open, Awei will definitely have to fuck a lion and a tiger!"

"It's terrible to be uneducated. The Colosseum was a place where slaves were used to entertain the royal family. It was not a competition at all!"

"Yes, yes, everything you say is right, you are the most educated!"

The hotel's commercial vehicle took Liu Wei and O'Neal to the gate of the stadium.

The people O'Neal contacted were waiting for them in the VIP channel.

"Hey! Man, are you done?" O'Neal high-fived a muscular black man and asked with a smile.

The black man looked back at Liu Wei, "Shark, is he the one participating in the competition?"

O'Neill nodded.

The black man pouted, shook his head, and said to O'Neill, "Too skinny! I hope he won't be trampled to death by a bull!"

Turning back to Liu Wei, he said: "I wish you good luck, friend!"

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

Approaching the VIP channel and receiving the competition number plate in the organizing committee studio, Liu Wei was the last contestant.

The black man said to O'Neal: "Shark, you registered too late. The event organizing committee has stopped registration. I went through a lot of connections to get this spot!"

O'Neal patted his arm and said: "Thanks, brother, I will go to Los Angeles when I have time and take you riding!"

"Of course I want to go, I like it!" the black man said with a mean smile.

"Wow! Shark, why are you here?" Another black man came up to say hello.

O'Neal laughed: "I'm bringing my rider to participate in tomorrow's game!"

"Your rider?" the black man asked doubtfully.

"Liu! Come!", O'Neal waved to Liu Wei, Liu Wei walked up, O'Neal put his thick arm on his shoulder and introduced, "Liu Wei, my brother, I am now his manager, he Registered for tomorrow’s bonus qualifying competition!”

"Shark, you are still so humorous!" The black man glanced at Liu Wei. His intuitive feeling was the same as the previous black man. Liu Wei was too thin and his figure did not meet the standards of a professional rider.

O'Neal understood the meaning of his words and did not immediately refute. He introduced to Liu Wei, "Liu, he is the champion of last year's National Professional Bull Riding Contest Atlanta Finals, Johnson!"

"Hello!" Liu Wei stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Liu, I hope you can get good results!" Johnson said politely to Liu Wei for O'Neal's sake.

"Will you participate in the main draw at Billings?" O'Neal asked Johnson.

"Of course!" Johnson nodded, "My hometown is in Montana. I brought my cousin Wade over today to check out the venue. He will also participate in tomorrow's bonus qualifying event!"

"Wade, come and see who this is!" Johnson waved to the crowd.

Wade's height is almost the same as Liu Wei's, but his arms and thighs are obviously much wider, giving him the visual impression of a macho man.

"Shark, I like you so much!" Wade gestured his muscles, "Like you, I like strength!"

"Come on, Wade!" O'Neal and Wade rubbed their fists together.

"Liu, Wade, you will be our opponents tomorrow!" O'Neal laughed.

Wade glanced at Liu Wei and said, "I will get a spot in the main game in the first round. I have only one opponent in this competition, and that is my cousin Johnson!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "It seems that you are well prepared. I am participating temporarily. The result is not important. I want to experience the feeling!"

Wade shook his head seriously and said: "You'd better not have such thoughts, it may cost you your life. If you are afraid, you can just give up tomorrow!"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will steal your limelight?"

Wade smiled and said: "I'm thinking about your life safety!"

"Thank you for your concern!"

Liu Wei did not continue to argue with Wade. He was as arrogant as his cousin.

His cousin didn't take the contestants in the main draw seriously, and he didn't take the contestants in the bonus qualifying rounds seriously. He followed the old Chinese saying: "If you don't belong to the same family, don't join the same family!"

But professional athletes need this kind of pride.

After Johnson and Wade left, O'Neal lowered his head and spread his hands to Liu Wei and smiled, "Liu, they are all so confident when riding bulls!"
