Wang Chi was slightly stunned. How could the ball have disappeared? He immediately looked left and right and saw that everyone's gazes were focused on one person, and that person was none other than Ye Xiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiao was dribbling the ball and swiftly running towards the basket, an agility that even Wang Chi, who prided himself as the nimble Little Jian on the court, could hardly believe.

Was it Ye Xiao who had snatched the ball away just now?

But Wang Chi clearly remembered that Ye Xiao had been standing at least three meters away. Even if he ran quickly, he couldn't have stolen the ball in the blink of an eye, could he? No, the ball hadn't even touched Wang Chi's hand.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Chi realized everyone was just as stunned, and he immediately shouted, "What are you spacing out for? Stop him."

Wang Chi's command had an effect, and then those players quickly surrounded Ye Xiao, who had already crossed midcourt and was pressing towards the three-point line.

At that moment, whether they were opponents or teammates, they all converged on Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao's footwork was so unpredictable that it was impossible to see clearly. The players who had intended to block Ye Xiao were dodged one after another. They were already braced for committing a foul, so they went straight for Ye Xiao. But with a swift feint, Ye Xiao ghosted past the attackers. After he had passed, the players who had tried to tackle Ye Xiao stumbled and almost fell.

When Ye Xiao arrived near the three-point line, there were already many people around him, naturally trying to take the ball from his hands.

Ye Xiao reached the three-point line, but instead of continuing to run, he stopped. His eyes looked at the people running towards him, a hint of contempt flickering in his gaze. Then, with a subtle flick of his fingers, the basketball soared up. With a flip of his wrist, the ball flew in a beautiful high-speed arc towards the basket.

With the ball out of his hands, those who had intended to approach Ye Xiao also stopped in their tracks. When he had the ball, it made sense to go towards him, but now that he didn't, what was the point? To look for trouble?

Wasn't Ye Xiao known to be tough? Although it was just a rumor, how many were willing to test that out?

As the ball flew up, everyone, including Wang Chi, watched it fly towards the basket. The ball's velocity was high, unblockable by any person, so all they could do at that moment was to hope it wouldn't go in.

Maybe it was because they hadn't accumulated enough good deeds, or perhaps it was just that Ye Xiao was really that skillful (and handsome)—the basketball dropped steadily into the net. Score.

Silence ensued, broken only by the bouncing sound of the basketball hitting the floor.

To shoot a three-pointer so casually and with such accuracy, not even touching the rim outline... Such skill exceeded even Wang Chi, who fancied himself the clever Little Jian on the court.

Wang Chi watched with shock painted all over his face. He had considered the possibility that Ye Xiao might play basketball, but he hadn't expected him to shoot so precisely. This precision wasn't just about making the shot; it was the art of shooting itself.

"Ye Xiao, come on." Lin Dieying's voice rose from outside the court.

Ye Xiao glanced at Lin Dieying and cracked a slight smile. Without a word, he silently moved to his position, clearly ready for the next battle.

"He's amazing," Ren Cheng said, having seen all of Ye Xiao's seamless moves from stealing to shooting the ball. His face was full of surprise.

Wang Chi was standing beside Ren Cheng and, upon hearing him, his expression darkened as he murmured, "Is he really that good?"

Ren Cheng, detecting the anger in Wang Chi's voice, hastily responded with a smile, "The victory will definitely be ours. Just now, Young Master Wang, you were careless. This guy has been hiding his strength, making us all think he's an idiot. He's really cunning."

Ren Cheng was Wang Chi's most loyal subordinate, for a very simple reason: Ren Cheng's father was Wang Chi's father's most loyal man. As the saying goes, 'Like father like son.'

Ren Cheng didn't dare offend Wang Chi.

Wang Chi snorted coldly, eyes following the departing figure of Ye Xiao. He spoke to Ren Cheng, "Everyone better stay alert. I absolutely cannot lose this game."

"How could we possibly lose?" Ren Cheng chuckled, quickly flattering, "Young Master Wang, you worry too much. The court is full of our players. Next, we'll prevent Ye Xiao from getting the ball, and see how he can score."

Wang Chi nodded, "Stay sharp."

Then, Wang Chi and Ren Cheng quickly took their places on the court.

Watching Wang Chi's face turn ugly, Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Upset already? The game had hardly started; if he waited until the end of the game, wouldn't Wang Chi be crying his eyes out?

Sure enough, Ye Xiao did not say this out loud.

"Get into position, ready to throw in the ball," said a person with the ball, ready to throw it in, yelling to someone in the distance.

Clearly, he was speaking to Wang Chi and Ren Cheng.

Ye Xiao naturally saw through this petty trick but kept quiet. Right now, there were two people by his side. Ridiculously, one was from Wang Chi's team, while the other was from Ye Xiao's own team.

If it had been just someone from Wang Chi's team, Ye Xiao could have accepted it, but what was both amusing and frustrating was that someone from his own team was standing so close to him that they were practically attached. Was there really a need to be so blatant? Did they think that if they made it obvious, Wang Chi would give them a generous reward?

However, at that moment, they did not give Ye Xiao any extra time to reflect. The ball had already been passed.

The ball was passed to a player about two meters away from Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao immediately wanted to go for it, but a player from Wang Chi's team quickly stepped forward, blocking Ye Xiao's path.

"Sorry, you can't go through here," said the player with a malicious grin, obviously doing it on purpose.

Ye Xiao merely smiled slightly, not taking it seriously, and tried to move sideways. But at that moment, the player from his own team also stepped forward smirking, "Sorry, you can't go through here either."

When Ye Xiao looked for the ball again, it was already under the control of Ren Cheng, who started running towards Ye Xiao's basket. Ye Xiao's teammates might as well have been decorations, while Ren Cheng, possessed by the spirit of James, dashed past the mid-court and charged towards the basket with an overwhelming presence.

As Ye Xiao looked at the two smiling people blocking him, he suddenly shifted slightly to the left, making them think he was going to run to that side and quickly moved to defend it. However, when they shifted to the left, Ye Xiao, slick as an eel, sidestepped to the right and ran past them. After that, it was like a fish returning to the sea, a dragon soaring to the heavens.

When those two players tried to intercept Ye Xiao, it was too late. Ye Xiao ran past them straight toward Ren Cheng. His move caught the attention of everyone. Just a moment ago, Ye Xiao had sped to the ball with otherworldly quickness, shot and scored three perfect points.

At this moment, everyone was thinking about that previous play, wondering if they were about to witness another miraculous moment.

Although Ren Cheng often played basketball with Wang Chi, his talent was mediocre, making him little more than a practice partner with very average skills. Asking him to make a three-pointer was nearly like asking for his life, which Wang Chi was very aware of.

So when Wang Chi saw Ye Xiao's sudden movement, he quickly shouted to Ren Cheng, "Pass the ball to me."

Hearing Wang Chi's order, Ren Cheng immediately assessed Wang Chi's position and rapidly passed the ball to him.

There was no one near Wang Chi, and as the ball flew towards him, everyone held their breath, recalling Ye Xiao's recent dark horse steal.

Wang Chi was worried, but soon enough, it was clear that his anxiety was unnecessary as the basketball securely landed in Wang Chi's hands.

Wang Chi's shooting was exceptional. Among Minghai Academy, Wang Chi was known for his basketball skills, so when the ball reached his hands, everybody internally breathed a sigh of relief.

The ball was firmly in Wang Chi's hands, so scoring seemed only a matter of time.

Seeing Ye Xiao cross mid-court, Wang Chi slightly smiled, dribbled, and quickly ran towards the three-point line. With Ye Xiao still some distance away, Wang Chi did not need to rush his shot and could aim with the greatest confidence because his basketball philosophy had always been to shoot to score.

Wang Chi dribbled to the edge of the three-point line, and upon seeing Ye Xiao now less than one and a half meters away, he instantly jumped and shot.

He had performed these actions countless times, and his proficiency was no less than the skill he exhibited in bed.

The basketball left Wang Chi's hand, and then it made a beautiful arc straight towards Ye Xiao's team's basket.

At this moment, the previously moving players all stopped in their tracks, convinced that a basket was inevitable.

The spectators also began to smile; when Wang Chi made a move, you knew the outcome. As a basketball star at Minghai Academy, Wang Chi was simply extraordinary.

However, just as the basketball flew swiftly towards the hoop, on the court, one person's speed suddenly increased, approaching the backboard with a velocity nearly imperceptible to the human eye.

Everyone's attention was fixated on the basketball; no one expected someone to be running toward the backboard since the ball flew through the air too quickly for anyone to surpass it.

But in reality...

The basketball naturally headed for the hoop, and by all accounts, it should have been a sure score. But in that critical moment, a hand appeared below the hoop, reaching up from below.
