Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“He’s really good.” Xue Chuan finally understood how Fang Li felt in the previous match.

Time out!

Tang Yan called the first time out of the game. Only a few minutes had passed since it began but Tang Yan seemed to have a new game plan in mind.

“Brother Tian, you did great.” The four sissies served Xia Tian towel and water once they were off the court.

“Brother. Tian, please give me a chance!.”

“Brother Tian is mine!”

“Stop that, can’t you see Brother Tian’s looking at me?”

The starry-eyed girls of the literature and art club fought over Xia Tian before scrambling to announce their thoughts to him.

The match continued.

With Xue Chuan fired up once again, Fang Li dribbled the ball as the five swiftly pressed forward. Xia Tian made haste towards Fang Li but he quickly made a pass. The receiver continued the advance with another forward pass.

It was then Xia Tian realized that the five stood in a sort of ladder formation, utilizing quick passes to push towards their side of the court.

Swish!

7 to 9.

Xue Chuan was tit for tat with the three-point shot.

It was the literature and art club’s turn on the ball. This time, the five players did not return to their courts to defend. Instead, four of them encircled Xia Tian within while Fang Li handled the other three. This defense tactic was simple but Fang Li alone was enough to handle three sissies.

Since Xia Tian was an expert with his shots, they had to keep him away from the ball. This was Tang Yan’s new strategy.

“Good on her for thinking this up.” Yang Buhui saw the shift in their strategy.

“Sister Hui, won’t they be vulnerable to a quick pass from the literature and art club?”

“Apart from the basketball god in the literature and art club, the rest don’t know how to play. They’ll start to panic once they see him in a bind. They’ll lose the game if this continues.” Yang Buhui gazed at Xia Tian with anticipation. “I want to see how he gets out of this.”

“Despicable! The basketball team is just despicable! This is a foul!” The girls from the literature and art club were enraged to see Xia Tian encircled.

The spectators on the stand booed them but the basketball team was not the least bit concerned. It only mattered to them that they won the match. After all, they had merely put Tang Yan’s strategy to realization instead of resorting to lowly tactics.

Seeing that Xia Tian in trouble and nobody to pass to, the person holding the ball from the literature and art club hurled it away in a random direction. Fang Li took the opportunity to intercept and slammed the ball down into the basket.

9 to 9.

The scores were tied. The basketball team’s strategy was working.

The literature and art club had the ball once again.

Just as four players were moving to block Xia Tian, he made a quick run towards the person carrying the ball. Overjoyed, the person passed the ball to him.

Without any hesitation, Xia Tian leaped backward for a shot. The four were too slow. However, they believed Xia Tian would miss because he did a backward jump shot without any preparation, landing outside the boundary line. The distance he had to cover was way further than the last time.

The difficulty level now was much higher than before.

Swish!

12 to 9.

Xue Chuan and his team stopped in their tracks at the sight of the ball going in. Fear paralyzed them.

“That was great, basketball god! Keep it up!” Ling’er shouted with excitement.

“His footwork is strange and he only uses two fingers to hurl the ball. He tried to hide it, but I can tell.” Yun Miao observed Xia Tian’s every move.

“Wow, you’re a sharp one.” Huo Wennu took a glance at Yun Miao.

“What a show, what a show! A quick turn to a backward jump shot. He’s invincible!” Yang Buhui was blown away.

“He’s the coolest.” Ceng Rou felt as though as she had returned to her maiden years with her heart fluttering like a teenager.

“This b*stard really loves to show off!” Ye Qingxue unhappily cried. She was uncomfortable with the way other women were looking at Xia Tian, especially Ceng Rou.

“Qingxue, I’m starting to suspect that you lied to me. You said that he’s good for nothing except his studies, but it’s surprise after surprise now.” Bingxin gazed at Qingxue confused.

“Is he human?” Tang Yan did not have the words to describe Xia Tian.

As the match was still ongoing, the basketball team kept their spirits up and their eyes on Xia Tian. Soon, the first quarter ended.

30 to 18.

The literature and art club was in the lead. Although the five players pursued Xia Tian, he was running rings around them. His perfect accuracy long-range shot completely defeated the basketball team.

Tang Yan had to rethink her strategy yet again.

“Xia Tian, you were great.” Ceng Rou approached Xia Tian.

“Here, have a sip.” Ye Qingxue got in between Xia Tian and Ceng Rou.

Ceng Rou smiled at Ye Qingxue’s intervention but said nothing. Ye Qingxue’s intentions were obvious. An idiot could sense her hatred towards her.

“Cousin, who is she?” Xia Tian’s gaze focused on Yun Miao on the bleachers.

“D*mn it, why do you always have girls on your mind? Aren’t I enough for you to look at?” Ye Qingxue answered with discontent.

“She’s Yun Miao, the no. 1 beauty of Jianghai University. They’ve been calling her the top beauty since she was a freshman and no one has been able to surpass her, even now, when she’s a third-year sophomore,” Bingxin explained.

“Yun Miao.” Xia Tian nodded. He would remember that name. Not only was Yun Miao beautiful, his Insight would not see through her clothes. This proved that there was something to her simple demeanor.

“And just why are you still looking? She won’t take a fancy on you even if your eyes were to pop out.” Ye Qingxue was furious to see Xia Tian giving Yun Miao the steely gaze.

“Sister Miao, he seems to be looking at you. You sure have charm.” Ling’er teased.

Yun Miao did not answer her.

“It’s unfortunate you aren’t interested in him.” Ling’er giggled.

The second quarter began.

It was still four against one but this time, the four remained in close proximity to Xia Tian, giving him no chance to seize or shoot the ball. Nevertheless, Xia Tian kept his cool. He did not want to parade his skills and steer too much attention to him.

After all, not everyone in the world knew the existence of martial arts.

Xi Tian activated his Unrestrained Cloud Sage Step with the four tailing him closely. Xia Tian intentionally slowed down.

“Unrestrained Cloud Sage Step!” Yun Miao’s eyes lit up. She could finally see that the man in the game was bringing the Unrestrained Cloud Sage Step to play. It was a technique of the Western Lurker, Xia Tianlong.
