"Seriously, Lin Xuan is so handsome. I’ve never seen a man as good-looking as him!"
"Absolutely, he’s just too dreamy."
The female students couldn’t take their eyes off Lin Xuan, their faces filled with infatuation.
"Lin Li," Fang Jin, a member of Yundu University’s basketball team, pointed toward Lin Xuan. "Isn’t that your estranged brother, Lin Xuan?"
Lin Li followed Fang Jin’s gaze and immediately spotted Lin Xuan.
His fists clenched tightly, his eyes burning with hatred.
It was Lin Xuan!
It was really him!
"I remember the last time we played against Lin Xuan was during our junior year. He was insanely good—the whole game turned into his personal highlight reel."
Back then, he had completely shut out Yundu University’s team, not letting them score a single point.
Even Fang Jin felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Lin Xuan.
"What’s there to be afraid of?" Lin Li growled, his eyes locked onto Lin Xuan. "Last time was just luck. This time, he won’t perform nearly as well."
Lin Xuan probably hadn’t exercised in a while. Could he even keep up now?
Luck?
Fang Jin couldn’t help but glance at Lin Li skeptically.
Lin Xuan’s skills were pure talent—nothing to do with luck.
Come to think of it, he’d almost forgotten. Before their junior year, Lin Li had always been the golden boy—until Lin Xuan stepped into the spotlight.
From then on, everything went downhill for Lin Li.
Because of Lin Xuan, his reputation was ruined, his engagements fell apart, and he didn’t even place in the national university computer team competition.
No wonder Lin Li hated Lin Xuan so much.
Tch.
Honestly, Fang Jin wasn’t fond of Lin Li either. The guy always looked down on everyone, acting like he was above it all.
If it weren’t for Lin Li’s family background, Fang Jin wouldn’t bother sucking up to him.
Maybe Lin Xuan could teach him a lesson.
The basketball game was about to start in half a minute.
The girls in the stands were still buzzing with excitement. "What do you think of Lin Xuan’s basketball skills?"
"He looks pretty lean, not like he has a ton of muscle. I doubt he’s that athletic."
"But I have a feeling he’s hiding his true abilities."
Wang Dahe overheard the skepticism from the stands and smirked.
Daring to doubt Lin Xuan’s skills?
Just wait—they’d soon see exactly how good he was.
With the referee’s whistle, the game began. Yundu University’s team got the first possession.
They passed the ball to a teammate near the basket, who dribbled past defenders, charging toward the hoop.
The Yundu University girls held their breath. "Ahhh! Our team’s about to score! If we win, my crush will be so upset!"
Lin Li’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
This player was their best shooter—if he got within range, the shot was guaranteed.
Last time, Lin Xuan had held them to zero points.
This time, Yundu University wouldn’t let history repeat itself.
Not only would they score—they’d crush Shangqing University’s team!
Lin Li shot Lin Xuan a smug look.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Already gloating?
"Lin Li, don’t celebrate too soon," Lin Xuan said, shifting his stance. In an instant, he was right in front of the dribbling player.
Everyone froze.
What kind of speed was that?!
Effortlessly, Lin Xuan snatched the ball away.
"Huh?" The Yundu University player stared at his empty hands, stunned. "How did Lin Xuan even do that?"
Lin Xuan had been far away just a second ago—how did he close the gap so fast and steal the ball?
"AHHHHH—"
The Yundu University girls in the stands leaped to their feet, screaming. "Lin Xuan, go!!"
"Lin Xuan, you’re amazing!"
"OH MY GOD, HE’S SO HOT!"
After stealing the ball, Lin Xuan dribbled toward his own team’s basket.
"Stop him! Now!" Lin Li shouted.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t intercept him.
Lin Xuan weaved through defenders, closing in on the hoop.
Then—he leaped.
The crowd watched in awe as he soared through the air, slamming the ball down with a thunderous dunk.
"AHHHHH—"
The girls shrieked, their excitement reaching a fever pitch.
"Lin Xuan, you’re incredible!"
"SO FREAKING COOL!"
"Lin Xuan, I LOVE YOU!"
They’d already been mesmerized by his looks, but now, his basketball skills added an irresistible layer of charm.
Lin Xuan might seem slender, but he had the kind of body that looked lean in clothes but was secretly ripped.
When he landed, the breeze lifted his jersey slightly, giving them a glimpse of his toned physique.
Their eyes were glued to him.
This was the man of their dreams!
Shangqing University scored first.
Furious, Lin Li kicked the basketball pole.
That point should’ve been theirs—how dare Lin Xuan take it?!
Damn it!
"Lin Li, I was going easy on you just now," Lin Xuan said with a smirk. "From here on out, you won’t score a single point."
Lin Li gritted his teeth. "Lin Xuan, don’t get ahead of yourself. The game’s not over yet."
Lin Xuan chuckled. "Then watch closely. I’ll make sure you leave with zero."
True to his word, Lin Xuan stopped holding back.
He didn’t hog the ball—instead, he set up his teammates, letting them take the shots.
If Yundu University got possession, he’d steal it right back and pass it to his own team.
He wanted his teammates to have fun while he made sure Yundu University stayed scoreless.
"Who is that student?" A coach from the national track team, passing by the gym, stared at Lin Xuan in awe.
"Principal, tell me—who is he?" The national high jump coach looked at Lin Xuan like he’d found a golden treasure.
"That’s Lin Xuan," the Yundu University principal replied. "He’s not from our school—he’s a student at Shangqing University next door."
Goodnight, everyone.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
