Chapter 779: Chapter 779

Everyone who saw the fallen person was instantly stunned; it wasn't Lin Chen but Xiao Qiang.

At that moment, the expression on Xiao Qiang's face was very painful. Having just collided with Lin Chen, he felt that the rebound force had broken his ribs.

"How is this possible!"

Everyone watched incredulously at the scene unfolding before them.

Xiao Qiang had put all his strength into charging at Lin Chen, but Lin stood immovable like a boulder, while Xiao Qiang, the initiator, painfully collapsed to the ground.

Lin Chen looked coldly at Xiao Qiang who was moaning in pain on the ground and snorted, "He who harms others finally harms himself. Think carefully, do you still remember your initial dream when you first stepped onto the basketball court?"

Xiao Qiang stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock.

Lin Chen's words filled him with immense shame. The dream of playing basketball brought back memories of his first passionate time on the court and the pride of competing for his country after entering the national team.

But as time passed, injuries had forced him to leave the national team, and his dreams had grown increasingly distant; eventually, basketball had merely become a means of livelihood for him.

Xiao Qiang stood up, a bitter smile on his lips, clutching his wound, and limped away.

Yin Fengzhu and the others left in disarray as if they were frost-beaten eggplants.

At this moment, eight girls looked at Lin Chen with full admiration. If initially some joined the basketball team just to give face to Wang Zixuan, now they did so willingly.

Lin Chen addressed the girls, "You all must be curious about the steps I used just now. I will teach them to you now so that you can also toy with your opponents at your fingertips.

"Oh my God, can we also learn that move?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, several girls rejoiced.

Lin Chen's moves had been incredibly cool. Watching them, the eight girls had secretly thought how wonderful it would be if they could perform Lin Chen's steps.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen was now about to teach this set of steps to the girls, and how could they not be excited?

Since all the girls were attractive, their training attracted many boys to come and watch, but Lin Chen kicked these boys out and locked the main gate.

The training began, and Lin Chen first had everyone review the Lin Family Breathing Method, then he started teaching the girls the steps he had performed earlier.

This step method was also a product of the popular system, although Lin had renamed it Lin Family Tai Chi Step.

This set of steps evolved from countless formations in a vast world, containing forty-two steps in seventy-four styles — it sounded complicated, but was actually quite simple to learn.

Due to the high physical requirements of this step method, it would have been difficult for the girls to execute it had Lin not opened up their meridians beforehand.

After a morning's practice, all eight had completely mastered the step method, but they still harbored doubts about its effectiveness.

Finally, at the end of the training, Lin Chen unlocked the iron door, only to be astounded at the sight of roses that filled the doorway.

He saw a young man in branded clothes, holding flowers and coming forward with an arrogant demeanor, surrounded by four burly men in suits.

Seeing the young man, Wang Zixuan's expression slightly changed, "Zhao Longfei, what are you doing here? Haven't I told you that we are not suitable for each other?"

Zhao Longfei, with a smile on his face that showed no sign of discouragement, instead, he looked as if he was smitten, "Zixuan, you used to say I was good for nothing, but now I have obtained my Chinese major degree from Tsinghua University. You should be able to accept me now, right?"

Looking at Zhao Longfei's current demeanor, Wang Zixuan's face was filled with disgust, "Sorry, it's not just your lack of education I detest, but your philandering even more."

Zhao Longfei earnestly said, "Zixuan, rest assured, from now on, you'll be the only one in my heart. As long as you are with me, I won't glance at any other girl."

Wang Zixuan shook her head, "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend. You should look for someone else!"

"You have a boyfriend now? Who is he?" Zhao Longfei's gaze turned cold.

The boys watching from the outskirts of the basketball court were also puzzled, as Wang Zixuan had always been aloof, barely sparing ordinary boys a glance, let alone having a boyfriend.

Wang Zixuan's gaze shifted towards Lin Chen, she pointed at him lightly and said, "It's him, he's my boyfriend."

In that instant, hearts shattered.

Many of these boys were staunch fans of Wang Zixuan, and learning that she now had a boyfriend left their hearts instantly shattered.

Lin Chen, at this moment, was utterly baffled. He had not expected Wang Zixuan to pull him out as a shield at this moment.

"Beauty, I'm fine with you liking me, but saying it now, aren't you getting me into trouble?"

Zhao Longfei fixed his chilly gaze on Lin Chen, "Kid, are you Zixuan's boyfriend?"

Looking at Wang Zixuan's pitiful appearance, Lin Chen sighed and replied, "Of course I am. Do you have a problem with that?"

Zhao Longfei snorted, "Kid, I advise you to stay away from her, or don't blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing Zhao Longfei's words, Lin Chen unexpectedly pulled Wang Zixuan into his arms. A refreshing fragrance wafted through the air, and feeling the soft body against him brought Lin Chen immense satisfaction. Pretending to be her boyfriend was totally worth it.

Seeing Lin Chen holding Wang Zixuan in his arms, Zhao Longfei's expression grew even colder, "Kid, you're asking for it. I'm advising you to stay away from Zixuan because you're simply not worthy of her."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It should be you keeping away from my girlfriend, right?"

Zhao Longfei snorted, "Kid, you'll regret this."

Seeing the fierce light in Zhao Longfei's eyes, Wang Zixuan snorted, "Zhao Longfei, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Longfei glared at Lin Chen resentfully, "Kid, if you're a man, let's have a fair contest. If you lose, leave Zixuan immediately. If I lose, I promise never to bother her again."

Upon hearing Zhao Longfei's words, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Alright, are we having a scholarly contest or a physical one?"

"A scholarly contest," Zhao Longfei snorted.

In these four years of college, Zhao Longfei had indeed dedicated himself to learning quite a bit. With a photographic memory, he had read numerous ancient texts, which made him fairly confident about competing with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Alright, a scholarly contest it is."

Hearing that Lin Chen and Zhao Longfei were going to compete, Wang Zixuan's face changed, "Lin Chen, Zhao Longfei is famously known for his eidetic memory. You might lose to him!"

Lin Chen patted Wang Zixuan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve."

Lin Chen then approached Zhao Longfei and said lightly, "Alright, how do you want to compete?"

Zhao Longfei thought for a moment, then took out a book of ancient poems. "We'll randomly select a poem from this collection, and whoever recites it more fluently wins."

"Reciting ancient poetry, huh? Great, that's what I'm best at!" Lin Chen laughed as he spoke.

Zhao Longfei passed the poetry collection to Wang Zixuan, "Zixuan, flip to any page."

Wang Zixuan nodded, randomly opened the poetry book, and as soon as Zhao Longfei saw the name of the poem, he couldn't help but light up with joy.
