I looked directly at the basketball and gathered Qi. A cyclone condensed in front of me, turning it away and with a “banh” the basketball flew backwards as if it had hit steel. I remained sitting, indifferently looking over at Wang Ze Cheng.
“Hey man, are you ok?” A male about 2 meters tall laughed as he looked at me, “Wang Ze Cheng didn’t do it on purpose, don’t take offense. It was just an accident…”
Wang Ze Cheng smiled, and with an apologetic face said, “Student Li Xiao Yao, I apologize, it wasn’t on purpose…I didn’t hurt you right? The basketball’s speed just now was a bit fast, so I couldn’t control it. Sorry….”
I stood up, looked at Wang Ze Cheng, and faintly smiled, “How would it? With such little strength, it wasn’t enough to even tickle. Student Wang Ze Cheng’s slam dunk was very skilled, no wonder so many girls like you.”
Wang Ze Cheng rubbed his nose, and laughed in embarrassment, “That…I really only like playing basketball, that’s all. I didn’t really want to change anyone’s opinion towards me….”
I smiled, “Yea, they were hired to act!”
A male on the side arched his brow, “Li Xiao Yao, what do those words mean? On what basis can you talk about Ah Cheng like that? Who are you to talk like that?”
Saying this, he walked in front of me holding the ball and extended a hand to push my shoulders.
I slid backwards a step, drawing support from my Qi to push onto the back of the male student, immediately sending the student smashing into the ground. In such a difficult position, the battered student couldn’t say I pushed him, since everyone around us saw that I didn’t touch him at all.
Hurriedly bending over and supporting his arm, I “panicked in fear” and asked, “Fellow student, you…are you ok? How could you be so careless?”
This guy was clearly one of Wang Ze Cheng’s followers and Wang Ze Cheng was furious. He absolutely did not think that I was such a good actor, “Fellow student Li Xiao Yao, are you up to play a game of basketball?”
I shook my head, “I can’t, you guys continue playing, I still have other things to do…”
The moment I turned around, the male that had fallen got back up in anger. He raised the basketball and heavily threw it towards my back, “F*ck, go die, you bastard!”
“Sou….”
The basketball flew towards me at a rapid speed but I merely held up a hand without turning around. The ball stopped within the palm of my hands, and I sent it flying back towards the hoops in a single perfect motion. With a swishing sound, the ball fell through the net and to the ground; all without me even looking as I made the shot. Cool people don’t look back after all.
The basketball hoop was at least 15 meters away from me and I had made a swish shot without even looking.
Everyone on the court was stunned. No one would have thought that I would do such thing and no matter how much Wang Ze Cheng tried to do thing, he was still a fake gentleman. However, I learned my lesson that the cruel reality was that – you had to look good to have a future. If you were like Old K, your only hope would be to study all day.

“Du du…”
The phone rang; it was Wang Xin’s number—–
“Leader Wang, what’s wrong? Do you need me to return to the team?”
“That’s not it.” Wang Xin laughed, saying, “We’ve recently been doing inspection work for the most part; there’s virtually no danger involved. You should rest properly for a while and tend to your wounds first. Also, now that we have the Nanometer bullets in our hands, there’s nothing to worry about. Even if we do somehow face those modified people again, we won’t really be inferior to them anymore. We would definitely blow off their heads before they even got near us!”
I laughed, “Eh, then I reassured. Why exactly did you call me?”
“Protect Lin Wan Er properly…”
Wang Xin said sternly, “I only have one demand of you, which is to guarantee the safety of Miss Lin Wan Er. You’ve seen Tian Xin Corporation’s power. Their weapons will be able to let us turn around the current situation. Lin Tian Nan is some you can’t push on, even when the army first started cooperating with him, we had to compromise many conditions. You’ve met Lieutenant General Sun Xiang right? He has lost quite a few times to Lin Tian Nan; towards Lin Tian Nan, the army hates and loves him. Haha, however, Lin Tian Nan’s only weakness is his daughter. You have to protect Lin Wan Er in case the power behind the Artificials gets wind of Lin Wan Er’s relationship to Lin Tian Nan and the Tian Xin Corporation. Once Lin Wan Er gets kidnapped then we’d be in real danger.
I nodded, “I understand. From beginning until end, I will use my life to protect her. Don’t worry about that, Leader Wang!”
“Yea.” Wang Xin continued, “Do you need any hired hands? To tell the truth, Lin Tian Nan hired 27 people to lie low around Liu Hua University. All of them are experts and will help you protect Lin Wan Er. If you ever need any more, you can tell me and the police can also hire similar personnel to provide assistance.”
