"Ding! A choice event has been triggered. Host, please make your selection:

Option 1: Decline Lu Shan's basketball challenge and receive a random gift.

Your reward will be an Intermediate Stage martial art, +100 points to strength, +100 points to dexterity, +100 points to constitution, a number of universal experience points, and a +15 increase in Fang Xue's affability towards you.

Option 3: Propose an alternative competition and earn a number of universal experience points and a random gift."

"Wow!"

Lee Yun couldn't help but swear internally at the system's offerings. Weren't these rewards a bit over the top?

Not only was there an Intermediate Stage martial art, but also a boost of 100 points each to strength, dexterity, and constitution. And let's not forget the experience points!

And Fang Xue's affability? That was intriguing.

Lee Yun glanced at the stunning campus belle, pondering. Clearly, she had a thing for heroes; the more impressive Lee Yun was in front of everyone, the more she seemed to be drawn to him.

"What do you say? Are you brave enough to face me on the basketball court?" Lu Shan taunted Lee Yun.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Lee Yun flashed a scornful smile and retorted, "If I can beat you once, I can beat you twice, three times, or as many times as it takes!"

"You!"

Lu Shan was seething. Ignoring the fact that the teacher hadn't dismissed them, he snatched up a nearby basketball and scoffed, "Everyone knows that basketball can get physical, even in professional games. Lee Yun, do you dare to take on my challenge?"

Lee Yun knew exactly what Lu Shan was implying and accepted the challenge without hesitation.

"Lee Yun!" Wang Houliang whispered anxiously, "Lu Shan is known for playing rough on the court. He once sent a guy to the hospital for a month. And he got away with it by using a pre-agreed excuse!"

"I'm aware. Relax, I won't let him push me around."

Lu Shan sneered at Lee Yun's response, thinking spitefully to himself that he'd just have to be even more aggressive when the time came.

Lee Feng was visibly worried, but with Lee Yun set on competing, she reluctantly gave her consent.

As she watched Lee Yun's sturdy back, Lee Feng realized her brother had grown up; he was now a man in his own right.

"Go for it, Lee Yun!"

Upon reaching the basketball court, Fang Xue cheered for Lee Yun with gusto, amplifying her voice with cupped hands.

Wang Houliang watched enviously. Campus Belle Fang, smitten with love, had shed her former haughtiness and transformed into a sweet young girl. Everyone envied Lee Yun for winning the heart of such a girl!

Still, Fang Xue only showed this girlish side around Lee Yun. To everyone else, she remained the cool, unapproachable belle she always was.

Lee Yun faced off with Lu Shan on the court, encircled by at least a hundred students who watched eagerly, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"So, it's a one-on-one?"

"That's right."

"First to 10 points wins. You get the first shot."

Lu Shan hurled the ball at Lee Yun with a force that would challenge even the sturdiest of players to catch.

But Lee Yun caught the ball with ease, bouncing it nonchalantly.

"Only ten points? Seems a little low, doesn't it?"

The crowd of onlookers buzzed with commentary.

"Of course, that's Lu Shan standing out there on the court. No surprise there!"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Come on, you don't get it? Lu Shan is the undisputed king of the court!"
