Chapter 397: Who Let You Leave?

aching the Nascent Soul stage and above.This would be simply an impossible task. People who have reached the Nascent Soul stage before the age of twenty-five wouldn't possibly come to Lingxiao Academy...Grade Two Five was a very unique presence throughout the whole school, let alone a group of female students surrounding a man as they arrived at the basketball court.

This immediately caught the attention of countless students throughout the school. Everyone gathered around, eager to see what had happened.

Liang Zhijie held the basketball in his hand, rotating it on his fingertips with a show of arrogance, and said disdainfully, "Well, how do you want to compete"

"It's up to you how we compare," Ye Bufan said. "Just accept defeat if you lose."

"A joke, how could I possibly lose..."

Liang Zhijie was just about to speak when his cell phone, which he had put in his pocket, suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression immediately brightening. “Captain Hao, it’s me, Liang Zhijie… what You’re already at our school and going to assess me”

“Okay, okay, I'm at the basketball court right now...”

He hung up the phone and excitedly said to Ye Bufan, "Let's put our business aside for now. Captain Hao of the Jiangnan Provincial Basketball Team is going to come over personally to assess me."

"They'll immediately think less of me if they see me, a nobody like myself, competing against you."

At his words, the students in attendance immediately became boisterous.

"Wow, Liang Lao Da is really amazing, even the provincial basketball team came to assess him..."

"In my opinion, the assessment is just a formality. With Liang's abilities, he would definitely be selected for the provincial team, and in the future, he could even join the national team..."

"Where did this kid come from He's totally out of his mind, challenging Liang the Great to a basketball game. Isn't that like showing off a knife in front of Guan Yu"

After receiving this news, everyone expressed infinite admiration for Liang Zhijie and full contempt for Ye Bufan.

While Yu Wanlu and the others let out a sigh of relief, this outcome was best for them. It saved Teacher Ye from embarrassment in public.

Just then, five figures appeared at the school gate and walked towards the basketball court together.

The moment five people appeared, they instantly drew countless eyes. They were incredibly tall, with the tallest standing at around 2.20 meters and the shortest still over two meters.

"Look, isn't that Hao Dayong, the captain of the provincial team"

“That’s the center forward Fang Shijie, he's my idol...”

"Goodness, they are all national team members! I've only ever seen them on TV before. Today I finally get to see them in person!"

Hao Dayong is the captain of the Jiangnan Province basketball team and also a member of the national team, a true national player.

The other four were also main players on the Jiangnan Basketball Team. Their appearance immediately caused a stir at the school.

"Oh my god, Hao Dayong is actually here! He's my idol. I have to get his autograph later!"

It's Emily speaking. Her biggest hobbies are makeup and chasing stars. Not just singers and movie stars, but also basketball stars, Hao Dayong being one of them.

After these people appeared, Liang Zhijie immediately ran up to them and politely said, "Captain Hao, you're finally here."

Hao Dayong said with a proud expression: "You're not really worth us making a special trip for, but this time we happened to be touring Jiangnan City and came by to assess you. We hope you don't disappoint us."

Liang Zhijie had no complaints. In his eyes, the other party's pride was well-deserved, after all, they were a national champion from China.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Captain Hao, rest assured, I will not disappoint you!"

"Alright, our time is precious, let's get started." Hao Dayong said to Fang Shijiang beside him, "Let's just test him out, a one-on-one match."

He said to Liang Zhijie again, "As long as you can score 4 goals, that's passing. I'll recruit you to the provincial team if you find a chance. If you can't even score 4 goals, then get out of here."

"Okay, thank you, Captain Hao, for this opportunity."

Liang Zhijie was full of confidence. Under everyone's gaze, he walked onto the basketball court with Fang Shijiang.

Fang Shijiang is a power forward, standing at around two meters tall. The arrogance on his face is even stronger than Hao Dayong's.

"Go ahead, I hope you can get a point in my hands."

After saying that, the guy threw the basketball to Liang Zhijie and then made a defensive stance.

A master can be recognized at a glance, though this guy may seem arrogant, he actually has the capital to back it up.

Once in a competitive state, I'm like a different person. My form is perfect and my defense is airtight.

Liang Zhijie took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then began the competition.

He dribbled the basketball in his hand, his eyes fixed on Fang Shijiang, searching for an opportunity to drive past him.

"The response is too slow!"

Before he could find an opportunity, suddenly Fang Shijiang stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the basketball into his own hands.

Immediately following the action, without hesitation, he jumped back with a backwards layup before Liang Zhijie could make another move. With a swish, the basketball went straight through the net.

"1:0"

Cheers erupted around the stadium as everyone finally got to witness the prowess of the national players.

Liang Zhijie had once been invincible in the entire school, but he was utterly helpless against Fang Shijiang.

"This time I attack, you defend!"

Fang Shijiang's eyes flashed a hint of disdain. He dribbled the ball, made a fake move to deceive Liang Zhijie, and then took a jump shot from outside the three-point line.

“Let me show you what a real three-pointer is!”

"Whoosh!"

The basketball swishes through the net again, the score is now 2:0.

The race continues, "It's too slow!"

Liang Zhijie drove to the basket but was beaten by Fang Shijiang, who stole the ball and changed the score to 3:0.

Then Fang Shijiang attacked, his shot missed and the ball bounced back off the rim.

"Poor rebounding awareness, poor jumping ability!"

Fang Shijiang grabbed the position first, jumped into the air, and once again caught the basketball in his hands. Then he slammed it hard into the basket.

"4:0"

"5:0."

"6:0."

Liang Zhijie's face was pale, beaten and somewhat at a loss. He had always been proud of his basketball skills, but he never expected to be so vulnerable in front of others.

He gritted his teeth and once again took the ball, launching into an offensive drive.

Finally finding an opportunity, he jumped up for a shot but was blocked by Fang Shijiang with a big swat, sending the ball back to smack against his face.

This blow landed with great force, and it happened to hit Liang Zhijie's nose bone. Blood flowed out immediately.

The surrounding students gasped, but Fang Shijiang didn't care. He grabbed the basketball and sank it in the basket with a swoosh, then said dismissively: "Trash, absolute trash!"

Hao Dayong shook his head and strode to Liang Zhijie's face. There was no apology on his face, instead he said arrogantly: "With this level, you want to join the provincial team It's a waste of our time, I should have known not to come!"

The people behind him also wore expressions of disdain, chattering amongst themselves: "He really lacks self-awareness. With this level of skill, how could he possibly qualify to join our provincial team"

"Alright, let's go!"

After Hao Dayong finished speaking, he was about to leave with a few people. At this time, a cold voice from behind said: "Wait a minute, who let you go"speed was not inferior to a top-grade spiritual artifact, and it was even a bit faster.The distance between them is continuously closing, and at this rate they will be caught up eventually.But now, in...
