C30 The Basketball Didn't Even Touch the Basket.

"Hey kid, come on!"

With a sinister grin, Lu Shan clenched his fists and tapped them together. He spread his arms wide and crouched down, assuming the defensive stance of a basketball player ready for action. He resembled a lion, eyes locked on its prey, waiting for Lee Yun's move.

His trademark gesture had previously turned the faces of bullied boys pale with fear.

In that moment, the oppressive aura emanating from Lu Shan was overwhelming.

He seemed utterly unbeatable. Arms outstretched, he was like an eagle in mid-flight, poised to swoop down on its quarry.

"Heh, not a bad vibe you've got there."

Lee Yun offered a slight smile, lifting the basketball and sizing up the hoop.

Doubting his chances, Lee Yun paused to consider, then decided to allocate his last 500 experience points to dexterity, boosting it to 250.

Lee Yun's decision left the crowd in awe.

"What? He's shooting from mid-court?!"

"No way! He'd struggle to make it from the three-point line, let alone mid-court!"

"The kid's just showing off!"

The onlookers, including Lu Shan, were skeptical of Lee Yun's intentions. How could he possibly make the shot?

Amidst the incredulous stares of the gathered students, Lee Yun launched the ball. It arced gracefully through the air and slipped silently through the net, only making a sound when it bounced on the ground.

Silence engulfed the court.

It was a while before someone finally shrieked, "Oh my god! The ball didn't even graze the rim or the backboard!"

This was the epitome of a perfect shot!

Given that Lee Yun had taken the shot from mid-court, it was nothing short of miraculous.

"Wow, he actually made it from mid-court. That's incredible!"

"He's the real king of the court!"

"Absolutely amazing. I've been playing for a decade and all I can say is, I'm impressed!"

"I'm speechless, he's just that good!"

A rare sparkle lit up Fang Xue's eyes. She seldom came to watch basketball because there was no one she cared to see play. This was the first time she'd witnessed such a shot.

Could it be that Lee Yun had just executed the most impressive score in basketball?

"Incredible!" Her heart raced as she was spellbound by Lee Yun's finesse. Her eyes brimmed with admiration as she gazed at him.

"Damn it!"

Lu Shan was seething, on the verge of exploding. He had been ready to slam into Lee Yun, to send him to the hospital for a good ten days or more.

But to his dismay, that jerk had sunk a long shot without even coming close to him.

"He's obviously too scared to get physical with me. I need to find another chance!"

Lu Shan eyed Lee Yun malevolently, retrieving the basketball. "My turn to shoot," he declared. "And remember, one-on-one rules: no running away. You have to try and block me!"

"Bring it on!"

Lee Yun, buoyed by his success, casually whistled. He was determined to utterly defeat Lu Shan on the court.

"Alright, you've got nerve!"

With a scowl, Lu Shan swapped places with Lee Yun. As soon as he reached mid-court, he attacked with the speed of lightning.

Pounding the ball forcefully, Lu Shan charged at Lee Yun like a wild beast, with no intention of sidestepping him. He aimed his brawny shoulder squarely at Lee Yun for a brutal collision.

Here he comes!

All those familiar with Lu Shan's ruthless tactics held their breath, eager to see how Lee Yun would handle the onslaught.
