However, the other party did not give him the opportunity at all. Every time during break, they would come and pull Wu Jialuo out, looking like a pair of happy sisters, leaving him no room to intervene.
"..."
Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?
I sent you a text message and you just replied with an emoticon to fool me?
Taojing Satsuki, what are you doing?
Suddenly I was at a loss as to what to do.
In that case, there is only one way.
It was the end of get out of class time and the classroom was bustling with people coming and going. Gong Yang Zhen sat in his seat and slowly closed his eyes, regulating his breathing and entering a state of meditation.
Begin to visualize the figures in the Fighting Spirit Arena, some of which are mighty and majestic, and some of which are sinister and awe-inspiring.
——Start! I'm practicing my mind power!
........................
Study in class and meditate after class. The day is so short and it is time for club activities again.
Wu Jialuo is the newbie in the wind instrument club, and Tao Jing Satsuki is a member of the happy homecoming club. They were talking and laughing in the corridor, walking towards the staircase hand in hand. Both of them have a bright future.
"..."
Gong Yang Zhen, who was quite speechless, packed up his things and walked directly towards the basketball court.
I have already taken more than a week off for club activities. Not to mention that I, Kagami-sama, have been watching him like a nagging woman every day, but the fact that Reiko Aida has been appearing inexplicably in the first-year group and peeping at him like a ghost from outside the window is a bit scary. It would be a bit unreasonable if I don't report for class.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the indoor basketball hall, an orange ball was thrown into his arms.
What followed was a voice that seemed to conceal some burning emotion.
"Coat off, come and fight one, ram."
"……Well."
Gong Yang Zhen caught a glimpse of Reiko Aida next to him, who seemed to be observing the situation here vaguely. After a moment of thought, he took off his coat.
——After so many days of buffering, the physical changes shouldn’t scare her, right?
At the same time, he said calmly: "I will hit you hard, you should be mentally prepared, right?"
"Hmph... There's no point in not hitting hard. Come on!"
At this moment, Vulcan Lord lifted up his trouser legs slightly, feeling the pressure of the lifted fabric on his thigh muscles, while his dark red eyes were fixed on Gong Yang Zhen who was dribbling the ball towards him.
Ram, you are strong, strong like a monster.
But these days I have been improving my strength, and I have become so strong that I have even surpassed the club's training tasks!
And this time, I want to see if my new power can bring you unexpected surprises!
And what about Gong Yang Zhen?
He was wearing a newly bought sweatshirt at the moment, the loose fabric was bulging with his full muscles, and this new sense of oppression made Kagami Dawo slightly startled!
As he approached Kagami Taigo with the ball, when the distance between them reached a subtle threshold, a gray heart-shaped mark slowly rose from above his opponent's head.
And within three seconds it is charged and filled with red brilliance.
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour has been fully charged. 】
No need to wait any longer!
Without any intention of advancing slowly to warm up his body, Gong Yang Zhen suddenly dribbled the ball towards the direction of the Vulcan Dawo who was already standing!
Immediately afterwards, the flying figure suddenly stopped two steps in front of him, and then he exerted force with his legs and flew into the air.
Is it a pull-up jump shot?
No.
It's a slam dunk!
The Fire God Daigo's eyes narrowed.
He expected the opponent's intention - because Gong Yangzhen never used any attack method other than violent attack on the basket from beginning to end, as if he had no ability to shoot mid-range shots or three-pointers at all.
But it is this single attack method, coupled with that terrifyingly fucking strong body, that makes him invincible!
Can I, the God of Fire, withstand this indestructible chariot?
Gritting his teeth slightly, he leaped towards the opponent's body, just as he had rehearsed in his mind countless times recently. His height and the time he stayed in the air were much higher than when he first joined the club!
Land on me, ram!
At this moment, the two people seemed to have escaped the pull of gravity, soaring in the air, attracting everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, the two flying men who were traveling in opposite directions collided with each other with a heart-pounding thud.
"Well!--"
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour takes effect, your maximum health increases by 52. ]
[Health value: 4530 (current health value) / 4538 (maximum health value)]
Under the gazes of the crowd that seemed to have expected it, as soon as the Vulcan Great Wo collided with Gong Yang Zhen, he lost his balance in an instant, just like a small steel ball hitting a thick wall, and was about to fly backwards.
Fortunately, a hand grabbed his collar as if it was familiar with the situation and pulled his upper body back from its completely tilted position.
——Gong Yang Zhen, he came to the rescue again.
While adjusting the position of the Vulcan Great Self who had no support from him, Gong Yang Zhen secretly and quietly paid attention to the prompt sound of the Fighting Spirit Arena in his mind.
Come on, let me see if the new rune power I selected yesterday has taken effect successfully?
Just as he casually stuffed the basketball into the basket, a prompt sound slowly sounded.
[Current target is cooling down, remaining cooling time: seconds. ]
Chapter 69: Dad ran away?
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour. Current target is cooling down. Remaining cooling time: seconds.]
It's understandable that Devour would go on cooldown after triggering the passive effect of Heart of Steel on the same target.
But the cooling time of its effect for the same target was originally 30 seconds. How come it has now been reduced to seconds?
The answer is to strengthen the power of runes.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, Gong Yang Zhen chose the power of the second strengthening rune, and among the three golden strengthening runes that appeared, there was such a rune.
[Advanced Inventor (Gold): You gain an additional 300 equipment skill haste, which is a 75% equipment skill cooldown reduction.]
"..."
There is no need to say more about Gong Yang Zhen’s choice.
Quack! I want you!
Although the other two runes such as "Ancient Brew (restores 2% of health when using a skill)" and "Dawnbringer's Resolve (when your health drops to 50%, continue to restore a total of 30% health within three seconds)" are also extremely powerful runes that can give him more powerful vitality.
But how could Gong Yang Zhen, who was devoted to Heart Steel, make any other choice?
Don't try to confuse my mind. I am devoted to the Steel of Heart.
And with the blessing of the rune power of "Advanced Inventor", the cooling time of "Giant Devour" has been reduced to a terrifying level!
Now the cooling time has directly become a quarter of the original thirty seconds, which means that even if he faces something like the "evil spirit" again that has a huge gap in hard power compared to him, there is a possibility of stacking the Heart Steel a second time in a battle.
And if you are facing a super blood cow like "The Fang of Destruction" Gana Ao or "The Tiger" Wakatsuki Bushi, it would be even more refreshing!
I believe that by then your mind will be filled with the wonderful sound of "dang dang dang".
At this moment, a familiar dunk was completed, and both of them landed on the ground again.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the Fire God felt a faint pain in his chest.
I just bumped into the other person, just like hitting a speeding train head-on.
Obviously, he had no leverage in the air and was blown away the moment he hit the opponent. Unexpectedly, he still had some minor bruises.
"...This strength is irrefutable. Ram, you have become stronger again!"
"But why, why is it like this? You have been busy for several days, and I have been completing my training tasks every day in excess, not leaving until I am exhausted, but the gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger?"
For a moment, I even doubted my life and was about to ask for another fight with gritted teeth.
Unexpectedly, a shrill whistle interrupted his speech.
——Aida Reiko.
"...It seems that it is time to gather. Then let's stop here for today, Kagami."
"……whispering sound."
In fact, there was a moment of excitement when I wanted to ignore the assembly whistle and fight with Gong Yangzhen, but reason finally prevailed.
After a moment's silence, Vulcan Lord didn't say much in the end. He just followed Gong Yang Zhen to the assembly point with an unhappy look on his face.
It is worth mentioning that he always felt something was wrong on the way there. Gong Yang Zhen tilted his head slightly and glanced sideways, and saw that a ghost-like figure had appeared behind him at some point.
"..."
"Hey, Mr. Ram wasn't scared by me."
The short boy with light blue short hair seemed to notice Gong Yang Zhen's gaze at this moment, and was slightly stunned, then whispered.
"Oh my god! Where did you come from?"
Gong Yang Zhen was not scared by this elusive classmate, but Kagami Daigo was startled by Kuroko Tetsuya who suddenly appeared beside him.
Immediately, an embarrassing sound was made.
"I was watching Kagami-san and Ram-san fighting a bull."
"Then you should make a sound!"
The two of them were arguing a lot, and it seemed like they had a very good relationship.
Gong Yang Zhen slowly withdrew his gaze, as if thinking about something.
Is this what is called "sight guidance"? It really seems to be integrated with the environment.
If it weren't for my extraordinary five senses, I might have ignored him like everyone else.
Superpower basketball really lives up to its reputation.
With different thoughts in mind, everyone had already lined up in front of Reiko Aida, waiting for her to speak.
However, this time Reiko Aida did not do anything new. She just briefly arranged the training schedule for others and then disbanded.
Only Gong Yangzhen was left aside to speak.
“… Gongyang-kun, you should have seen what happened this morning, that was not a prank.
"You haven't been to the basketball team these days so you don't know, but that's actually our basketball team's tradition of joining the school.
"It's a pity that the rooftop has been locked after being caught by the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office. What a pity, otherwise I would have taken you up there to yell at you."
I couldn't help but chuckle when I said this.
Although I have only known him for a short time, this Gong Yang junior in front of me has always looked mature and steady, without the vigor and sharpness of a middle school student.
Maybe this is the reserve of the strong.
At this point, Reiko Aida pulled out a piece of paper from her sketchpad and continued, "But there will be no problem for you to join the main selection, so I'll let you skip this step and set your goal in mind... Anyway, let me record your new physical parameters first, Gongyangjun, if I'm not mistaken, you've grown taller again, right?"
However, Gong Yang Zhen showed a slightly hesitant expression, and the words he said next made Aida Reiko's eyes widen slightly.
"I think... I won't be a regular on the basketball team, Aida-senpai."
"……Eh?"
…………
The red sun was setting in the west, and the club activity time quickly came to an end amidst the sweat.
At this moment, looking at the backs of several people leaving, the captain of the team who was left behind, Junpei Hinata, pushed up his glasses.
"So... Gong Yang is busy with other work and can't squeeze out time to participate in basketball games, so he voluntarily gave up joining the school basketball team?"
"Yes."
