I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 93: Provocations on the Court

The match begins!

The referee threw the ball in the air! He Yuan leaped with amazing jumping power, easily getting the ball!

He immediately followed with a dribble, break, turnaround, followed by a three-step layup!

Score!

From the start of the game, everything was smoothly carried out. His cool movements and the dashing way he scored sent He Yuan’s fans into a frenzy. Their faces were all flushed from the excitement.

“He Yuan, you’re the best! He Yuan looks the best! He Yuan, win the match!”

On the court, a group of cheerleaders in skimpy dresses appeared, with dazzling pom-poms in their hands, cheering away.

“Are these girls blind? To think they would like that animal in disguise!” Xiang said with an envious look.

“Brain-dead fans!” Potato added with a pout.

It was inevitable since the start of the match. The music department’s morale dropped to an all-time low while the sports department was like a cat toying with a rat. Casually mopping the floor with them.

In the first half, the results were 10: 80.

In the Second half, the results were 16: 192.

A complete victory for the sports department.

Next was the language department.

“It’s about time. I’ll head over first,” said Little Gen.

“Little Gen, do your best!” Cheered the students from his class.

Gao Wen said to the team, “Don’t get nervous on the court. Just play as usual. All the best!”

After some simple warmups, the competition began.

Language department vs biology department.

“Brother Nan, all the best!”

“Beast, go get them!”

“Skinny Monkey, don’t be a coward, just do it!”

“Son, don’t embarrass me! Go!”

At that moment, a fierce battle ensued. Both departments were shouting and cheering with nervous looks on their faces.

However, weird nicknames were called out at the same time.

Although Little Gen was not strong, he was born tall. With that height advantage, he was known as the king of rebound. He was the team’s defense, securing the backboard.

Passing, stealing, dribbling, and charging through!

A series of maneuvers filled the stadium with excitement and caused their hearts to pump faster.

“Pass the ball! This is not a solo show, pass it quickly!”

“F*ck! How did they block that?”

“What the heck? That was such a good chance and he didn’t score?”

“My god, a three-pointer! Amazing!”

“Judge, that guy hit his hand. It’s a foul!”

“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. To think he would be walking…”

On the court, all sorts of noises were flooding in, fully displaying the passionate youth of the students.

At the same time, although Ye Lingchen was only casually observing from the side, there was the occasional proficiency boost.

‘Inspiration gained from observing basketball competition, Ball Techniques proficiency +1’

…

Although the speed of proficiency gain was slow compared to learning or self-studying, it was self-generated. Bit by bit, it accumulated to quite a decent amount.

Furthermore, it was not limited to proficiency in basketball techniques, but ball related techniques in general. In other words, soccer and ping pong were included in this Ball Mastery skill.

Finally, the first half came to an end.

The results were 63: 52, with the language department in the lead.

Students from the language department had an immediate morale boost, eagerly bringing over the water they had long prepared for the players.

“Good job. Let’s keep this up for the second half.”

Ye Lingchen and the rest had walked towards Little Gen as well, “Little Gen, not bad. I’ve kept tabs for you. You’ve caught 13 rebounds, successfully blocked 3 times, and scored 6 points!”

“Little Gen, come drink some water. Can you continue?”

On the other side, students from the biology department were similarly surrounding the players of their department.

“It’s okay, the score gap isn’t too far apart. We still have a chance in the second half.”

“This term’s students from the language department are way better than the previous terms. Their basketball skills are quite decent.”

“Can your stamina last? If you can’t we’ll request a change of players. Don’t overexert yourselves.”

…

The second half began.

The competition once again turned into a fierce fight between the teams.

Although the biology department and language department had nothing to do with sports, the teams were surprisingly good at basketball. That led to them being the highlight of the second batch of the competition, causing even the other classes to come over.

Right then, there was a commotion in the crowd. The sports department’s player in black jerseys slowly pushed into the crowd. They too were watching the competition, but their faces were filled with contempt.

Their appearance brought a change to the court’s atmosphere, turning it awkward.

The second half had finally concluded.

102: 93, a close call for the language department.

The entire language department erupted in loud cheers with a look of excitement in everyone’s faces.

However, with He Yuan at the front, he led the sports department players into the court in stride.

The language department immediately felt the provocation of their opponents, losing the smile on their faces. Their basketball team similarly went forward to meet them.

“Hehe, that surely was a surprise. I didn’t think your team of rookies would win,” said a sports department player with a sneer.

“What did you mean?!” Someone immediately retorted.

The face of many students around them turned dark in an instant.

“Consider yourself lucky. If we were your opponents, you would have lost badly!”

“F*ck your sister! What’s this nonsense? The victor is not decided yet!” Little Gen argued.

“Hehe, just you guys?” He Yuan was gloating, “You better pray hard. The moment you meet us is when your competition ends!”

“Mind your words!” Although Gao Wen was a girl, she was no coward, “We are all students. Friendship first, competition comes after. If you cross the line, I will report you to the school authorities!”

“Friendship?” He Yuan shook his head, “We are no friends with the trash from the language department. Just wait for your loss!”

“F*ck! A bunch of brawns without brains. F*ck you!” One of the language department’s players could not hold back any longer and tried to fight.

Unfortunately, although he was big-sized, he was not as heavily built compared to the sports department. He was pushed back instantly by a fatty, almost dropping him to the ground.

“What’s wrong with calling you trash? You want to fight?”

“Come if you dare!”

Gao Wen placed herself in between the teams, urging them, “Calm down guys, you still have a competition tomorrow. Go get yourselves ready.”

“Hmph, see you in court!”

He Yuan swept a glance at Ye Lingchen, his eyes filled with provocation. Finishing his statement, he led the team away.

This incident immediately turned into a hot topic in the university, becoming a hot popular topic of debate for many.

“Have you heard? The sports department and language departments are going at it. Both sides hated the other and almost started a fight!”

“That’s the biggest news in our university. I’ve even heard that all this started because someone from the language department stole Li Muxue! He Yuan is seeking revenge!”

“You don’t say, that guy is a legend in our university. He’d even slept with Li Muxue!”

“How can the language department compete with the sports department in basketball? I guess they will be floored in the court.”

“Whatever it is, we’ll have some good drama to watch.”

…

Faced with taunts from the sports department, the entire language department was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Their expressions were dark.

Gao Wen forced a laugh, trying to brighten the mood, “Don’t look so tense guys. We just won the preliminaries. This calls for a celebration! When we meet the sports department’s team on the court, we must teach them a lesson!”

“That’s right! We must teach those arrogant *ssholes a lesson!”

“Let’s go look for a place to train this afternoon. I won’t feel at peace if we don’t defeat those animals from the sports department!”

“I’m coming along!”

“Count me in!”
