CHAPTER 955: CHAPTER 553: BASKETBALL OVERLORD (PART 2)

Basketball for Wu Xiaoqi is not just a sport, it’s a lifelong dream worth devoting himself to.

He loves basketball, loves running plays, loves team cooperation, loves the progress made after countless lonely training sessions, and loves even more the joy of winning.

To him, the most wonderful sound in the world is the "swish" of the ball going through the net.

He’s always taken the self-taught path, without professional training; all his skills come from his own exploration and watching NBA stars’ videos.

What he relies on is passion, passion that makes him energetic, sweat-covered, and passionately impassioned. In the end, passion will lead him to greatness, becoming the most notable star of the century!

Only dreams cannot be betrayed!

Although the world changes, and the future is uncertain, basketball is Wu Xiaoqi’s path forward, allowing him to remain consistent in this complicated world.

After every basketball victory, Wu Xiaoqi always leaves his celebrating teammates to find a place on the court to silently hone his skills.

Dreams must not be betrayed, and passion can withstand the long years!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoqi felt full of strength, his blood boiling, and he mentally warmed up, now he’s at his strongest, peak state.

It’s time to play!

Wu Xiaoqi no longer paused, his dribbling motion turned into a whirlwind heading toward the playground.

Since the increase in the number of first-year students, the basketball court space has been a bit limited.

Now it’s the third period in the afternoon. Although the second and third-year students are in class, the first-year students have just gone on holiday, and many are playing basketball, leaving few spots open, and Wu Xiaoqi decisively takes one.

...

Meanwhile, in class 16 of the first year.

Wu Yunzhi, dressed in a white sports outfit, appeared elegant and radiant, exceptionally handsome.

With a basketball in his arms, he discussed tactics with a few boys behind him and occasionally looked up at the girls in the class.

Among them were Lan Zichen, Yao Zixin, and other girls, all cheering them on.

Wu Yunzhi smiled confidently, mocking, "With so many pretty girls in our class, won’t the guys in class 7 go crazy when they see them later?"

The other boys laughed as well, saying, "Watch out, be careful they desperately defend against you!"

Wu Yunzhi’s demeanor changed, and he said arrogantly, "With their skills? Do they match up?"

Chubby Chang Yi said, "Crush class 7, shut them out!"

"Won’t they die from anger? Hahaha!"

The atmosphere in class 16 was cheerful.

Wu Yunzhi felt proud; handsome, tall, and a basketball player. Anytime they played a game, just a gesture brought many girls to cheer, beating the opponent on appearance alone.

Suddenly, he thought of a stunning girl from the afternoon. How awesome would it be if she cheered for him?

If she stood there, wouldn’t the entire place be ecstatic? His reputation would explode!

He must find out which class she belongs to.

As for the guy next to her, Wu Yunzhi didn’t care; he knew the guy was great at bench pressing, but who cares about bench pressing?

Nothing’s cooler than basketball!

Have the skills to play basketball against me!

The group approached the playground, encountering some students from class 7, and the two groups merged, heading to the playground together.

When they arrived at the playground, there were no spots left, filled with students playing basketball everywhere.

Wu Yunzhi scanned the court and finally set his sights on Wu Xiaoqi.

In basketball, the taller you are, the more advantageous, and seeing the small guy barely over 160cm holding a whole court to himself seemed ridiculous to him.

He turned to the girls in his class, saying, "Watch me clear the court!"

With that, Wu Yunzhi, along with his classmates, including Chang Yi, went to confront Wu Xiaoqi.

Wu Xiaoqi was practicing layups, elegantly and successfully scoring.

Outnumbered and himself a basketball ace, Wu Yunzhi naturally had contempt for the small guy, jesting, "Bro, you’re not fit for basketball!"

Wu Xiaoqi continued shooting, his basketball heart more solid than anyone could imagine.

Surrounded by admirers from a young age, Wu Yunzhi was furious at the little guy who dared to ignore him.

His tone unintentionally hardened, "Bro, you’re playing solo, we have a game, give us the spot."

Wu Xiaoqi kept shooting.

Chang Yi gestured, asking what to do?

No spots left to play, they must resolve this.

Occupied courts everywhere, this was the easiest to negotiate.

Just as Wu Xiaoqi prepared to shoot, Wu Yunzhi stepped in, leaping to intercept the ball.

Facing Wu Xiaoqi, holding the ball, Wu Yunzhi proposed, "One ball decides the winner, loser leaves!"

Wu Xiaoqi smiled. Someone dares to challenge him?

He readily agreed, "Alright!"

They squared off, Wu Yunzhi’s dribbling solid, clearly skilled beyond a show-off.

But how could his level compare to Wu Xiaoqi, who trained at 4 AM daily?

During the dribble, Wu Yunzhi thought to use his physical build to knock Wu Xiaoqi away. After all, basketball is about physical fitness, facing the small guy, confident he could physically dominate.

Yet, on contact, the small guy was like a rock, sending Wu Yunzhi stumbling, the ball easily taken by Wu Xiaoqi.

And a perfect layup by Wu Xiaoqi.

Wu Yunzhi loses!

Wu Xiaoqi caught the rebounding ball, looking dismissive.

Wu Yunzhi, the privileged star, had never suffered such humiliation, instinctively looking to his female peers, who were watching.

Seeing his embarrassed defeat.

From their glances, Wu Yunzhi sensed ridicule, his face burning, strong self-esteem unable to bear the disgrace.

His handsome face turned grim and unpleasant.

He faced Wu Xiaoqi, emphasizing:

"One more game!"

Wu Xiaoqi didn’t care, fully embodying confidence, "You’re not there yet; practice for six more months."

"I said, one more game!" Wu Yunzhi’s eyes showed malice.

"NO." Wu Xiaoqi responded in English.

Uncontrollable anger surged in Wu Yunzhi as he raised a hand over Wu Xiaoqi’s head, provocatively tapping:

"Don’t want another game, are you a loser?"

The surrounding noise fell silent, drawing everyone’s attention.

Wu Xiaoqi, notorious for his fierce temper, was often suppressed by the many strong players in class 8, unable to unleash.

Insulted at this moment, with the agility of a spring, he jumped to stand a head above Wu Yunzhi, slapping his face.

A sharp "smack" echoed.

"Dare to hit your daddy?" Wu Xiaoqi retracted his hand, looking disdainful.

Wu Yunzhi’s face burned with pain, yelling, "Screw this, you wanna die?"

He stepped forward, fury all over, a menacing air, planning a powerful punch, holding nothing back.

This punch aimed to shatter Wu Xiaoqi’s face, seeing him wail!

But Wu Xiaoqi, adept at countless moves, refrained from confrontation, quickly withdrawing out of range.

Following the missed punch, Wu Yunzhi launched a kick.

This rapid sequence, seen by Lan Zichen and others, prompted urgent shouts:

"Stop fighting!"

But Wu Yunzhi, blinded by rage, wanted to crush the small guy.

Seizing opportunity, Wu Xiaoqi quickly closed in, a crafty schoolyard tactic, holding Wu Yunzhi’s kicked leg.

Grabbing his leg, Wu Yunzhi used the chance, bending down, striking violently.

Wu Xiaoqi was faster, uniting waist and legs, swiftly counterclockwise swirling.

Standing on one leg, Wu Yunzhi lost balance, nearly spinning in the air!

Hastily, he called out, "What are you standing for, dammit!"

Chang Yi immediately dived, yelling, "Get him!"
