Chapter 27: Ignite Your Passion for Basketball

Bai Qige took back his words; indeed, as a leader of Bloody Earth, Bi Fulin’s intelligence has completely dropped and reached the same level as Gu Shigui. All those little followers around him should be charging in first to exhaust the enemy and gather information, not standing around as spectators. Bai Qige couldn’t help but maliciously speculate whether the superpowers of these Psychics weakened intelligence or if Bloody Earth was under the influence of Long Aotian’s Imbecility Aura… Oh!

Bai Qige suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but show a strange smile. He recalled that the leader of Bloody Earth, Mountain Fox’s son, also seemed to be studying at Canglan Academy. Because of this, he knew the strength of the Chu family and planned to take complete control of it.

If that’s the case, this person might truly have been under the influence of Long Aotian’s Imbecility Aura for a long time, which finally explains the foolish behavior of Bloody Earth.

While he was guessing the origin of Bloody Earth’s foolishness, Bai Qige did not show it on his face. He called out loudly with a chant, "Do not worry, my friend; my skills are incredible. Once I strike, you will all have a hard time surviving. So I have decided to watch for now, letting my three disciples fight: Gorilla, Dwarf Monkey, four-eyed toad, and you don’t need to speak of justice with this demon; let’s fight together!"

Mugang Xian, Gongcheng Liang, and Mugong Yan, after stopping their fight against the gangsters, helped each other, panting heavily, looking frightened. At that moment, when they heard Bai Qige’s call, their expressions changed instantly.

"Coach, I really can’t go on! I have two cuts on me and I’m still bleeding!"

Gongcheng Liang wailed, and Bai Qige scolded him for not trying hard enough, "Is this all the spirit of basketball you have? Is this all the courage you have as men? How will you follow me to the peak of basketball like this? I am so disappointed!"

"Coach, I think this isn’t really about basketball! This training has gone way beyond the limits of basketball!" Mugang Xian had always trained very hard, sometimes even too harshly. Before coming here, he had enough confidence to face all the training from the old monk, but now he realized he had been very naive!

Holding two bowling balls and fighting against gangsters? Mugang Xian found that his imagination could not keep up with the old monk’s ideas at all!

"You want to quickly reach the top while having an easy and safe journey, preferably lying down and being taken to the top by someone else? If that’s the case, you three should inform me, and I will be the first to sign up! To become a king, you must endure all kinds of suffering! In this day and age, if you want to be a king, losing an arm or being blind are standard requirements, so you three should stop complaining and get ready!"

Bai Qige slapped the three of them on the back, and the gentle push made them lose their balance and stumble into the arena, surrounded by many gangsters watching them intently.

Bi Fulin had already grown impatient, standing in the center with a basketball still spinning crazily on his finger, defying the laws of physics. When he saw the three enter, he snorted coldly:

"Hmph, so arrogant! Let me see what you’re really made of at Lanruo Temple. How dare you challenge the power of Bloody Earth!"

With a casual wave, the basketball shot out from Bi Fulin’s finger, flying like a cannonball. Gongcheng Liang reacted quickly and instinctively caught the basketball. However, with the force of the ball, he was knocked three meters away, crashing into several tables and chairs.

"Dwarf Monkey!" Seeing this, Mugang Xian could not understand why the basketball had such terrifying energy. He shouted in worry, while Bi Fulin dismissively said, "Instead of worrying about your friend, you should worry about yourself!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Mugong Yan was sent flying like a fly struck by a giant fly swatter. Then, Bi Fulin reached out in the air, and Mugang Xian felt as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed him, lifting him up with a powerful pressure that kept crushing him as if it would break him apart.

What is happening? Mugang Xian, suspended in mid-air, was completely confused. He could not understand Bi Fulin’s unseen and terrifying attack at all.

"Old monk, if you don’t take action, your three students will soon be history!" Bi Fulin said proudly, while the gangsters around cheered loudly.

"Telekinesis, its attack mode is invisible and formless, changing rapidly with quick activation speed. The direct damage is about equal to an attack power of 25 strength points, but it’s a bit weak because it’s too spread out and not focused enough. The real effective damage might even be lower than 25 points. Although I don’t know the consumption, it’s still a pretty good superpower. However, it needs focus and attention to activate, and it lasts only a short time. That means if one is not paying attention, distracted, or has an obstructed line of sight, his superpower is not very useful at all. Hehe, clearly a weakness!"

Bai Qige quietly evaluated this in his mind and couldn’t help but smirk. No matter how strong a skill is, it has weaknesses that can be exposed through careful observation and targeted attacks. The use of cannon fodder is a prerequisite for observation. Bai Qige had fully figured out Bi Fulin’s superpower and quickly imagined more than three ways to defeat him, the simplest being to attack from behind.

Of course, he didn’t need to use such means right now. Bai Qige chuckled, "Don’t worry, my student isn’t that weak!"

At that moment, Mugang Xian, lifted high by Bi Fulin’s psychic power, was wildly struggling. Bi Fulin became slightly distracted and surprisingly allowed him to break free. Bi Fulin maintained his focus, and with a casual punch, Mugang Xian flew two or three meters away as if he had been hit by a car.

Bai Qige walked over. The three of them were injured, but their physiques had been strengthened through years of training, making them stronger than ordinary young people. Perhaps Bi Fulin had held back; the three were only lightly injured and not severely harmed.

"Coach, what is going on?" Mugang Xian, who was the strongest, had already gotten up from the ground, but he was still in shock. Bi Fulin’s attack had completely exceeded his imagination.

"Hehe, Classmate Gorilla, this world is not as simple as you think. With masters like me, there are naturally extraordinary beings hidden in the city. But let’s set that aside! How about it? Facing a super-powered person, doesn’t it make your passionate basketball spirit ignite?"

"Coach, I won’t ask about the super-powered beings, but the real question is, if we really go into battle, my passionate basketball spirit might not ignite, but I think I will soon be burning in the crematorium!"

"Amitabha, a man should not easily say he can’t do something. If you can’t ignite your passion, let me lend you a hand. At this point, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Do you think I just took you three as my disciples for no reason? In fact, there is a powerful force hidden within you that you haven’t even discovered, called Blood of Madness. Once you unleash this power, you can transform from an ordinary Gorilla into a Super Saiyan Gorilla!"

After hearing this, Mugang Xian’s eyes showed a simple thought: Are you kidding me? Do you think I will believe that?

Whether Mugang Xian believed it or not didn’t matter. Bai Qige had the ability to show him that facts are more powerful than words. With a "kind" smile, he gave Mugang Xian a hard pat on the back, and True Qi flowed into him. In the next moment, the area where Bai Qige had hit Mugang Xian swelled, spreading throughout his body. Then, Mugang Xian knelt down in pain, covering his face with his hands, gasping and roaring, as countless blood vessels suddenly filled his eyes.
