The basketball arena was abuzz with exceptionally fierce competition.

Lan Yong put in his full effort, specially targeting Shen Qiang, but just a few days had passed, and Shen Qiang was no longer the guy who would get knocked over by a single bump from him. Even when Lan Yong used all his strength, at most he could only make Shen Qiang stagger back a bit.

In such a situation, not only was he completely unable to overpower Shen Qiang, but even his previously unstoppable momentum, the ability to tear through formations and connect the entire team, was restrained by Shen Qiang.

When Lan Yong couldn't dominate the court as he pleased and Ji Liangchuan was holding his own against Wu Zhaoyang under the hoop, and the skilled shooter from Engineering University was being checked by another Medical University player, Shen Qiang and Ji Liangchuan played even smoother together.

Because Ji Liangchuan wasn't as tall as Wu Zhaoyang and didn't have his strength, Ji Liangchuan's skills under the hoop were more comprehensive.

As for Shen Qiang, he wasn't particularly tall on the court, but his greatest strength lay in his pinpoint shooting accuracy. From any angle, just give Shen Qiang an opportunity, and his shot would certainly go in.

And, unlike ordinary basketball players,

Shen Qiang, who only played basketball occasionally, never considered becoming a star player seriously, so he wasn't a ball hog. If he saw an opportunity, he took it; if not, he passed, focusing on the overall game.

Moreover, Ji Liangchuan's strength was indeed formidable.

With Lan Yong's repeated unsuccessful attempts to break through Shen Qiang,

The normal game score settled at 66 to 65, with the Medical University team securing a come-from-behind victory thanks to Shen Qiang's presence.

"Shen Qiang!" At the very moment the game whistle sounded, Lan Yong was burning with rage, "You despicable little creep only know how to sneakily pass the ball. Next time, I'll definitely crush you!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang just smiled.

"Well done!" His teammates ran over and embraced Shen Qiang with cheers.

After a brief celebration with them, Shen Qiang saw Ji Liangchuan approaching. His eyes shone brightly as he said to Shen Qiang, "Good job. I feel comfortable playing with you by my side. So I'm thinking, there's no need for conflict between us. Be my little bro, and from now on, I'll take you flying."

"Whether it's at Medical University or in the Cultivation World, just respectfully call me 'brother' right now, and I, Ji Liangchuan, guarantee that no one will dare to mess with you easily."

Shen Qiang chuckled and then raised his eyebrows, "Ji Liangchuan, you know what? The thing I can't stand the most about you is this. Listen up, I'm not going to say I'll never ask for help in my life, but remember, I will never submit to anyone."

With a stern face, Shen Qiang said earnestly, "So I can give you a chance, and that's to pick up the soap for me, call me 'Big Bro Strong,' and from then on, I'll have your back."

Ji Liangchuan frowned, a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Just then, the sexy and glamorous Ju Yang came over and said, "Shen Qiang, you're amazing. Of all the players I've seen, you're the only one who can coordinate with Liangchuan so seamlessly."

Shen Qiang smiled.

Ji Liangchuan spoke coldly, "He's just not too stupid to be led. If we're talking about a real understanding, he's still got a long way to go."

"Do you get uncomfortable if you don't brag for a while?" Shen Qiang asked coolly, raising an eyebrow.

The beautiful lecturer Ju Yang giggled, "Alright, alright, stop squabbling, you two. Anyway, in this game, the two of you worked together perfectly, and we've created another miracle, so shake hands."

"Tsk!" Ji Liangchuan turned his face and walked away.

Shen Qiang, without any hesitation, turned and walked toward the approaching, and charmingly coy, Miao Xiaoxia.

Only a beautiful female lecturer named Ju Yang was left, standing there awkwardly, frozen in place.

Having walked over, Miao Xiaoxia handed over a snow-white towel to Shen Qiang, and said with a somewhat shy voice, "Shen Qiang, you were amazing!"

Looking at her bashful face, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It's alright, at least I didn't embarrass you."

Hearing his words, Miao Xiaoxia's eyes curved into a smile, her stunning beauty blossoming like the spring flowers of March.

"Damn it!"

In a corner of the gymnasium, Ren Kangning, with a runny nose, watched Miao Xiaoxia, her beautiful eyes filled with affection for Shen Qiang, his eyes seething with rage, "In front of me, you always act so pure, not even letting me hold your hand, always talking about not wanting to date, yet in front of this Shen Qiang, you're giggling like a love-struck fool. If I don't make you *** tonight, I'll write my name Ren upside down!"

"Master Ren, I think we better forget it. Listen, the gymnasium is filled with cheers, all rooting for Shen Qiang. If there really is a conflict, there are only so few of us..." a man who also had a runny nose said hesitantly.

"Don't be scared. My family has money and power. I'm going to call for backup right now. We'll ambush him after school, and if we don't beat him until he begs for mercy, I'll write my name Ren upside down." With a cold gaze fixed on Shen Qiang and Miao Xiaoxia, Ren Kangning clenched his teeth, "And as for that little bitch Miao Xiaoxia, if I don't take nude photos of her and post them online, my last name isn't Ren!"

Meanwhile,

In the city,

Inside the grand hall at the original site of Life-extending Hall, the elder of the Zhong Family respectfully stood up after three kowtows, following the loud chanting of the master of ceremonies.

"Everyone, please rise!"

At his words, the men of varying ages, nearly three to four hundred in total, who were kneeling inside the hall, stood up.

Standing before the huge portrait, the elder of the Zhong Family said, "If our ancestors have spirits, ever since Life-extending Hall moved out of Provincial City, our Zhong Family has risen to become a top medical household in the province. Our business has not only improved, but we have also taken over the properties and clientele of Life-extending Hall."

"Although it's only been a few days, due to Life-extending Hall's withdrawal, our Zhong Family's turnover has nearly doubled. This means that we of the Zhong Family will have more resources at our disposal, resources that can provide our clan members with opportunities to soar."

"And all this is thanks to Uncle-Master Shen Qiang!"

"Now, since we have paid our respects to our departed ancestors, all young members of the Zhong Family between the ages of eighteen and thirty with the generational name Yongxi, step forward."

At the elder's words, the crowd dispersed, leaving about forty to fifty strong young men in the center.

Dressed in uniform Mandarin collars and white shirts,

They looked quite fierce and distinguished.

Looking at them, the elder of the Zhong Family nodded his head in satisfaction, "You are the pillars of the Zhong Family, the elites. If it weren't for today's ancestral worship, you might not have had the time to be here. We have already paid respects to our forefathers, but I think most of you have yet to meet your Uncle-Master Shen Qiang."

"Zhong Yongxi!"

"Present!" Zhong Yongxi stepped forward proudly.

The elder of the Zhong Family instructed, "Your Uncle-Master Shen Qiang is busy with his graduate studies, so on normal days, you must not disturb him. But today is different; today is our Zhong Family's day of ancestor worship. So, you will lead them to University City, wait for him after his classes are over, and take them to pay a visit to the living Immortal of our Zhong Family, your Uncle-Master Shen Qiang."

"Also, I remind you that everyone who meets your Uncle-Master Shen Qiang must maintain proper etiquette. Any disrespect will be met with severe punishment! Go now!"
