44: Chapter 44: Who has the Coolest Ball Skills 44: Chapter 44: Who has the Coolest Ball Skills Ye Tian heard Xiao Pang’s shout, turned around immediately, and saw a basketball flying towards him.

Ye Tian reached out and caught the basketball effortlessly.

Squinting his eyes, Ye Tian looked in the direction from which the basketball had flown and saw Jiang Zhi with a group of his lackeys again.

After getting beaten up last time, Jiang Zhi was constantly mocked by his terrible friends.

Unable to fight the black-clad man who had beaten him, he had to swallow his anger.

Now fully healed, Ye Tian’s popularity had soared yesterday, making him Yunhai University’s top male deity, which Jiang Zhi found intolerable.

“Oh, Xiao Jiang, be more careful next time and don’t throw things around.”

Ye Tian told Jiang Zhi.

“Yes, Young Master Ye, I see you have some skills.

Catching a basketball with one hand and all.

There’s a basketball game this afternoon, care to compete?”

Jiang Zhi stared at Ye Tian as he spoke.

“Forget it, it’s just a minor trick.

I can only throw the ball anyway.

Watch!”

After saying that, Ye Tian tossed the ball, which landed perfectly in a roadside trash can.

“You!!!

Ye Tian, if you’re a man, come to the basketball court this afternoon.”

Jiang Zhi was furious and glared at Ye Tian when he saw his basketball being thrown into the trash can.

“Sure, no problem!

But if you lose, you have to run a lap around the sports field while shouting ‘idiot,’ Jiang Zhi, good luck!”

Ye Tian said mockingly.

“What!!”

“Fine, but if you lose, you’ll do the same!”

Jiang Zhi said angrily.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding students, Ye Tian and Jiang Zhi reached an agreement.

Today’s top post on the campus forum was released by Yunhai University’s gossip king Li Yi after extensive research.

It included beautiful photos of Ye Tian and two others, with a note specifically mentioning the relationship between Ye Tian and Lin Chumo, which broke many hearts.

Luckily, Mu Yunxi was still single, giving the male students some hope.

Jealous students around commented, “Ye Tian thinks he’s amazing just because he can play the guzheng.

Jiang Zhi is the basketball team’s ace; he’s doomed to lose.”

“Exactly, too arrogant!”

“+1”

Ignoring the mocking remarks, Ye Tian held Lin Chumo’s hand, showing off their affection in front of everyone.

Lin Chumo had grown confident in her boyfriend after witnessing his prowess several times.

She didn’t say much and certainly didn’t try to dissuade him.

Just then, Yunhai University’s campus beauty and hunk rankings were ceremoniously unveiled.

Whoever organized this was quite entrepreneurial, as they charged one yuan per view.

Of course, the tech geniuses from our Computer Science Department easily bypassed the paywall and posted a funny emoji in response, haha.

Mu Yunxi topped the beauty chart, with Lin Chumo in second and sophomore Literature student Chu Han Ya in third.

The hunk chart was led by Ye Tian in traditional attire, followed by freshman Economics student Wang Jingyu and third-year student council president Situ Ze.

In the classroom.

The number of students was less than at the beginning of the term because some had already started skipping classes, having others take their places.

Plus, professors from the Archaeology Department had also arrived yesterday and held a welcome party.

“Brother Tian, are you really going to compete with Jiang Zhi?

He’s quite a bully, but his basketball skills are formidable.”

“I heard he led the school team to five campus basketball championships.

He’s very strong.”

Xiao Pang looked at Ye Tian worriedly.

“Don’t worry, basketball is a piece of cake.

With Brother Tian’s talent, I’ll master it in no time.”

Ye Tian said nonchalantly.

“No way, Brother Tian.

You agreed to this without ever touching a basketball?

Oh my god!”

Xiao Pang pinched his face, looking at Ye Tian in disbelief.

“God help you, Brother Tian!”

Xiao Pang made a cross on his chest.

“But, Brother Tian, yesterday I posted the video of you and your two girlfriends performing.

It got a ton of tips.”

“We’ll split it sixty-forty, I get sixty, and you get forty.

Now I can buy that skin I wanted.”

Xiao Pang grinned from ear to ear.

“Wait, Xiao Pang, you actually posted the video?

What did you use as a condition?”

Ye Tian stared at Xiao Pang seriously.

“Just your contact information.”

“But don’t worry, I gave them the phone number from those ads on telephone poles treating infertility.

Hahaha!!!”

Xiao Pang laughed heartily, while the surrounding students stared at him like he was nuts.

Sure enough, comments under Xiao Pang’s live-stream said, “You jerk, what the heck is this number?”

Many keyboard warriors were flaming Xiao Pang online.

“Class, open your archaeology history textbooks.

Let’s get started.”

The first official class of the semester was taught by an elderly professor with white hair whose slow-paced speech made many students groan in pain, although Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi listened attentively and took detailed notes.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian flipped through his book noisily, prompting Xiao Pang to whisper, “Brother Tian, what are you doing?

Keep it down!”

Ye Tian felt a bit embarrassed, realizing he was indeed being loud.

After class ended.

“Here, Tian, this is the notebook Yunxi and I wrote together.

Don’t read too fast; it’s bad for your eyes.”

Lin Chumo handed him a pink notebook with Mickey Mouse on the cover.

“Thanks, Chumo!”

Ye Tian eagerly accepted it and pressed it against his chest.

“And what about Yunxi?”

Lin Chumo added.

“Right, I’ll treat her to a meal to thank her.”

Ye Tian corrected himself.

The meal was peaceful, with no one disturbing them.

“Xiao Pang, who has the coolest basketball skills?”

“Of course, it’s Cos!

He’s in the Basketball Hall of Fame, number one.”

“Brother Tian, why are you asking this?”

“No reason, just want to learn a bit!”

“Brother Tian, are you dreaming?

It took him decades of practice to become that good!”

“You’re the one dreaming.

I’m logging off.”

Lying in bed, Ye Tian chatted with Xiao Pang using Penguin.

Ye Tian opened Baidu and searched for Cos, finding a ton of videos and news.

He selected a few with the most views, downloaded them, and then fell asleep.

The first class in the Archaeology Department in the afternoon was PE.

On the field, Xu Hao, as the temporary PE monitor, directed Ye Tian and the others to line up.

It was clear Xu Hao was taking advantage of his position, but no one said anything.

After running a few laps, they were dismissed.

Just then, one of Jiang Zhi’s lackeys approached Ye Tian and said, “Ye Tian, our boss is waiting for you at the basketball court.”

He then hurried away, likely still traumatized from the last beating.

Xu Hao walked over and said, “Ye Tian, don’t embarrass our Archaeology Department freshmen!”

“Piece of cake!”

Ye Tian glanced at Xu Hao, took out his phone, and opened the downloaded videos before leisurely heading to the court.

No one wanted to miss a good show, especially a match involving the top hunk Ye Tian.

Ye Tian walked with his head down, engrossed in Cos’s flashy moves in the short videos.

When they reached the basketball court.

“Brother Tian, you really went all out this time.

So many people.

Stop watching, you won’t learn it like this.”

Xiao Pang said to Ye Tian, who was still watching the video, with a pained smile.

“Don’t be anxious.

This seems fun.”

Ye Tian looked up and smiled at Xiao Pang.

“Ye Tian, you actually showed up.

We’ll play one-on-one today so you don’t lose too badly.”

Jiang Zhi said arrogantly to Ye Tian.

Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi sat nearby, both filled with confidence in Ye Tian.

“Alright, let’s start and not waste time.”

Ye Tian said to Jiang Zhi indifferently.

“Fine!”

Jiang Zhi walked to the court to get a ball while Ye Tian remained in place, continuing to watch the video.

Seeing that Ye Tian hadn’t moved, Jiang Zhi thought he was scared and boasted even more, “Ye Tian, are you scared?

Don’t dare to come over?”

“I’ll give you eight minutes.

Let me finish this video first.”

Ye Tian said, looking at his phone.

“You, alright, just wait to make a fool of yourself!”

Seeing an opportunity, Jiang Zhi grabbed the basketball and began to show off.

The spectators saw Jiang Zhi performing solo on the court while Ye Tian stood still watching his phone, leaving them bewildered.

Eight minutes later, Jiang Zhi had already scored over fifty points.

Feeling triumphant, he approached Ye Tian and said, “Ye Tian, admit defeat.”

Ye Tian put away his phone and walked towards the court.

“Enough talk, let’s begin!”

Ye Tian’s initial movements were clumsy, leading to laughter from the crowd.

However, as Ye Tian grew more skilled, his Yantian Step Technique, windmills, three-pointers, threading shots, and dunks left the audience stunned.

“Huff, huff, how are you so fast?

Slow down a bit if you dare.”

Jiang Zhi panted, head down.

The score was now one hundred to fifty, with Ye Tian crushing Jiang Zhi.

“No need to continue.

You lost.

Fulfill your promise.”

Ye Tian smiled at Jiang Zhi.

Ye Tian turned and left the court.

The girls present were initially excited, but seeing Lin Chumo tenderly feeding Ye Tian water, they had to give up.

Despite his domineering nature, Jiang Zhi couldn’t back out with so many witnesses.

Thus, on the field, Jiang Zhi ran while shouting, “Idiot, Jiang Zhi, go!”

“Interesting guy.”

Someone watched Jiang Zhi running in the distance and murmured softly.
