Chapter 911: Chapter 911

Wang Zixuan and the others wore solemn expressions. If the previous game was for their own dreams, then this one was undeniably a fight for Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, the strength of the Shujian women's basketball team is far from what you've seen so far," a sudden voice came from the lounge as a girl walked in and spoke.

Lin Chen froze for a moment when he saw the visitor—it was the same girl, Wang Yushan, whom he'd teased a few days ago.

Lin Chen's eyes lingered on Wang Yushan briefly; her face was pale, as if she had suffered internal injuries.

"How did you end up so badly injured?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Wang Yushan's gaze shifted toward the Shushan women's basketball team in the distance, hatred gleaming in her eyes: "It's all because of those bastards. My injuries are minor. But my sister..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Wang Yushan's eyes.

"What's going on exactly?" Lin Chen pressed.

In the previous match, Wang Yushan's opponent had been the Shujian women's basketball team, which crushed them with a score of 108 to 28. But even then, it was merely a basketball game. Why would Wang Yushan sustain such severe internal injuries?

Wang Yushan's tone hardened and turned icy, "Lin Chen, you must be cautious of the Shujian women's basketball team—they're utterly despicable."

It turned out that Wang Yushan's Lan University women's basketball team had faced off against Shujian. The first quarter was closely fought, with the score at 21 to 19, and Lan University even took a two-point lead thanks to the stellar performance of sisters Tian Ling and Wang Yushan. However, in the second quarter, the tide shifted drastically.

The Shujian women's team suddenly seemed like an entirely different entity, their play becoming furious—almost bloodthirsty.

What's worse, the Wang sisters intentionally committed fouls and used underhanded tactics to directly injure both Tian Ling and Wang Yushan.

"That wasn't basketball—it was outright combat," Wang Yushan spat angrily.

Though both Tian Ling and Wang Yushan were at the Yunhai stage in their cultivation, such an unexpected attack left them gravely injured, which was unsurprising.

After Tian Ling and Wang Yushan left the court, Lan University's women's team crumbled completely, utterly defenseless and overwhelmed.

"I didn't realize the Shujian women's team was this underhanded!" Lin Chen's lips curled into an eerie smile.

Wang Yushan's tone grew serious, "Lin Chen, if they fall behind in this match, they're guaranteed to employ similarly vicious tactics. Be very careful."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'll avenge you both."

At that moment, Lin Chen clapped his hands and addressed the girls, "For the first quarter, we'll proceed with Plan A. There's no need to hold back—give it everything you've got."

Fueled by Wang Yushan's story, fury simmered in the hearts of the girls.

A basketball match is supposed to be a display of athleticism and sportsmanship, but the Shujian women's team had turned it into a chaotic fight, defiling the very essence of the game.

As the girls began their warm-ups, Lin Chen turned to Wang Yushan, "Give me your hand."

"What are you planning to do?" Her prior experience of being teased left Wang Yushan feeling wary, as if a snakebite had left her cautious for years about ropes.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, "This is a basketball court, and there are tens of thousands of spectators watching. If I wanted to tease you, this definitely wouldn't be the place. I'm going to treat your injury."

"You can heal injuries?" Wang Yushan shot Lin Chen a doubtful look.

Without giving her a chance to resist, Lin Chen grabbed Wang Yushan's hand.

Wang Yushan instinctively tried to pull away but found her wrist numb and completely immobile.

"You've been poisoned by cold toxins; the toxins have already infiltrated your bloodstream. Fortunately, you ran into me. If these toxins linger within your body, your cultivation will likely be ruined." Lin Chen's tone was calm.

"What?!" Wang Yushan's face instantly turned grim after hearing Lin Chen's statement.

Lin Chen's gaze grew cold as well. The Shujian women's basketball players were disgustingly vicious—resorting to this level of brutality in a mere basketball competition.

As Lin Chen held Wang Yushan's hand, her face initially flushed, but soon she noticed a warm flow surging into her body.

With the infusion of this warmth, the flow of qi in Wang Yushan began to circulate once more.

For days, the torment of cold toxins had caused her inner qi to feel frozen.

Now, the pallor on Wang Yushan's face gave way to rosiness.

Just then, the whistle for the match rang out, and Lin Chen withdrew his hand.

"I've eliminated the cold toxins from your body. You can now normally channel and circulate your qi." Lin Chen spoke flatly.

"How is that even possible? How did you pull this off?" Wang Yushan looked at Lin Chen in shock.

The cold toxins within Wang Yushan had been such a serious matter that even her sect elders had been helpless and had to seek remedies from the Medicine Sect. Yet Lin Chen had eradicated them with just a touch of her hand.

"Such minor issues are insignificant for someone like me—a Divine Doctor." Lin Chen offered a faint smile.

"Master Lin, could you help cure the cold toxins afflicting my sister as well? She took a strike to protect me and has been in a coma ever since." Wang Yushan pleaded earnestly.

"Your sister is unconscious, but the cold toxins won't erupt for a while. I'll treat her after this match. Besides, you'll get to witness the moment I exact revenge for you both." Lin Chen smiled coolly.

Wang Yushan nodded firmly, "Yes, make sure to teach those bastards a lesson."

The game was about to begin, and the roar from the basketball court was deafening.

Few would have predicted that the two teams in the finals would be such unassuming dark horses.

Both the Zhonghai women's basketball team and the Shujian women's basketball team were making their debut in the finals.

The Zhonghai women's basketball team had gained fans for their striking looks, while the Shujian women's basketball team drew admirers with their impressive skillset.

Fans from both sides were going wild cheering for their respective teams, igniting an electric atmosphere in the arena.

Lin Chen smiled at his players, "You don't need to feel nervous. Just perform at the level you've trained for, and you'll be fine."

"Coach, this match isn't just for ourselves; it's for you. Even if it costs us our last drop of blood, we won't back down." Li Moran said with a steady voice.

Lin Chen chuckled helplessly, "Don't be too tense—it's not like we're heading into a battlefield. Relax, the first quarter they won't use any of those underhanded means. Just play your normal game."

Both teams took their positions on the court. The Zhonghai women's basketball team stayed faithful to their regular starting lineup: Wang Zixuan, Jiang Qian, An Xiaodi, Li Moyu, and Gao Qi. The Shujian women's basketball team also fielded their star players: Guan Ling, Wang Ying, Wang Hong, Li Yanran, and Li Ling'er.

The personal skills of the Shujian women's basketball team were clearly superior to the Zhonghai team's. Every member of Shujian's squad was an impressive Martial Artist in their own right.

While the Zhonghai women's basketball team had the boost of their formation, winning against Shujian would still be incredibly challenging.

At the referee's whistle, the match officially commenced. Invisible streams of qi swept across the court, and the Five Elements Formation instantly blanketed the area.

"The Five Elements Formation?" Qiu Yun's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Qiu Yun signaled to her teammates with a gesture. The five girls nodded, their bodies exploding with powerful waves of qi, as Sword Intent began to permeate the entire court.

"Shushan Sword Array!" Lin Chen's pupils narrowed ever so slightly.
