Chapter 910: Chapter 910

Lin Chen looked at Bai Xue with confusion: "Senior, if you have such a powerful formation, why didn't you use it during the semi-finals?"

Bai Xue said faintly, "My goal this time is simply to ensure that old granny from Shushan doesn't win the championship. I don't care who else gets it. If we use it during the semi-finals, then the Shushan women's basketball team will surely be prepared for it in the finals."

"Ah, so that's how it is. Alright, thank you in advance, Senior Bai Xue." Lin Chen clasped his hands toward Bai Xue in gratitude.

Bai Xue's face took on a solemn expression: "This formation was taught to me by a senior. Although it's only a fragmented version, its power is astonishing. Its name is the Ice Ning Si Fang Array!"

"The Ice Ning Si Fang Array? Xiao Shuai, do you know about this formation?" Lin Chen asked in his mind.

"Master, I'm the most badass popularity system in the world. How could I not know about such a low-level formation?" Xiao Shuai replied disdainfully.

If Bai Xue overheard Xiao Shuai belittling the Ice Ning Si Fang Array she revered as a divine formation, no doubt she'd be fuming with anger.

"The Ice Ning Si Fang Array, once the array plate activates, connects its users with lines of Qi. The effect of touching these Qi lines is that it makes people feel as though the Qi within their bodies is slowly freezing." Bai Xue explained with a reverent tone.

"That's badass!" Lin Chen's expression subtly changed upon hearing this.

"Master, this effect can only be achieved by a complete version of the Ice Ning Si Fang Array. As for the fragmented version, I'm afraid the impact will be significantly diminished," Xiao Shuai commented.

As expected, Bai Xue said regretfully, "Unfortunately, this formation is incomplete and can't exhibit its full power. However, when activated, it can render the Martial Artist opponents' Qi unusable for 10 seconds."

"10 seconds?" Lin Chen shook his head helplessly. This duration was too short to wield significant power.

Bai Xue became slightly anxious seeing Lin Chen's dismissive attitude: "Don't scoff at those 10 seconds. If the match reaches a critical and deadlocked stage, those 10 seconds could absolutely determine victory or defeat."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Thank you, Senior. I will put the Ice Ning Si Fang Array to good use."

Bai Xue nodded lightly: "Remember my mantra: Ice freezes all phenomena, all phenomena transform into the Eight Wilds..."

Lin Chen listened half-heartedly to Bai Xue's words. It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the array, but Xiao Shuai had already given him the complete version of the Ice Ning Si Fang Array.

"So, have you memorized it?" Bai Xue asked with some concern, noticing Lin Chen's distracted demeanor.

Lin Chen nodded: "Of course, I've memorized it. Don't worry, I will certainly carry forward your Tianshan Ice Ning Si Fang Array."

Bai Xue would never have imagined that Lin Chen possessed not just the fragmented array but also a complete set of the Ice Ning Si Fang Array.

"Alright, then I look forward to your performance. If you lose to that Shushan granny, I won't forgive you," Bai Xue snorted coquettishly.

Lin Chen waved toward Bai Xue as he left: "Got it, got it, don't worry."

Arriving at the court, the Zhonghai Women's Basketball Team was stretching and warming up.

Jiang Qian spotted Lin Chen and said grumpily, "You finally decided to show up. I thought you wouldn't make an appearance even for the finals."

Lin Chen yawned: "That's a wrongful accusation. I stayed up all night last night studying tactics."

Wang Zixuan rolled her eyes at Lin Chen: "Are you sure you weren't out flirting all night?"

Seeing their questioning gazes, Lin Chen's heart felt a little guilty, images of an intimate moment with Yu Feifei flashing through his mind.

Lin Chen coughed deliberately: "With a big showdown ahead, there's no way I'd waste time flirting."

"Then tell us, Coach Lin, what brilliant strategies you've come up with after working all night?" An Xiaodi asked, eyeing Lin Chen strangely.

Lin Chen spoke confidently: "Relax, everyone. This match is already in the bag."

He walked over to the display board and said, "The Shushan women's basketball team's five key players are Guan Ling, Wang Ying, Wang Hong, Li Yanran, and Li Ling'er."

"Guan Ling is the backbone of the team. She excels at breakthroughs, has nimble movements, and possesses exceptional organizational and coordination skills."

"Li Yan'er and Li Ling'er, the twin sisters, specialize in three-point shooting. I've tracked the previous matches, and their three-point shot accuracy is as high as 90%!"

"What? 90%!" The other players exclaimed in shock.

A 90% success rate with two dedicated three-point shooters—that lineup was terrifying.

Lin Chen continued: "Wang Ying and Wang Hong are both 1.87 meters tall, weighing 70 kilograms each. They're also twins, with physiques comparable to some male basketball players. Their strength lies in their physical prowess: they attack relentlessly and defend sturdily. In all matches of the Shushan women's basketball team, they've never conceded more than 20 points per game. Their rebound success rate is an impressive 80%."

"That's powerful!" The girls showed another wave of astonishment on their faces.

Lin Chen smirked faintly: "Although they're strong, you're no slouches either. Don't let their stats intimidate you. As long as you play to your potential, there's still a chance."

While Lin Chen was explaining, Shushan women's basketball team's coach, Autumn Granny, entered the Zhonghai team's resting area with her five main players.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect your team's luck to hold out and make it to the finals," Autumn Granny said coldly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, Granny Qiu Yun. I've always been pretty lucky."

"But your luck ends here," Autumn Granny replied icily.

"Oh, really? I checked today's almanac before coming out. It says I'm blessed by the Purple Star today, so my luck is exceptional," Lin Chen joked.

"Hmph, so confident?" Autumn Granny sneered.

"I'm always very confident," Lin Chen responded with a narcissistic expression.

Autumn Granny nodded: "How about making a bet with this old lady?" She smiled coldly.

"What kind of bet?" Lin Chen asked nonchalantly, looking at Autumn Granny.

"If you lose this match, you have to kneel before me, bow ten times, and call me your master," Autumn Granny said coldly.

Lin Chen's gaze hardened slightly. It seemed this granny was trying to stand up for Wang Hao.

"Alright, and if you lose?" Lin Chen asked with a calm smile.

"If I lose, I'll do the same," Autumn Granny replied flatly.

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, it's a deal."

Seeing Lin Chen accept the wager, Autumn Granny's face showed a sinister smirk.

"Kid, do you really think your squad of lucky girls is unbeatable just because you've stumbled into the finals? Let me tell you, in front of my Shushan disciples, your players amount to nothing," Autumn Granny sneered.

"Oh, really? Then let's see who turns out to be 'nothing' on the court," Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

"Lin Chen, why did you agree to such a serious bet?" After Autumn Granny and her team left, Wang Zixuan asked worriedly.

Lin Chen smiled and said confidently, "Because I believe in all of you!"
