Chapter 511: Keep an Close Eye on the Fiance

In the fourth quarter of the match, East Ocean University's basketball acted like they had cut off the lifeline of Jinghua University's basketball team. East Ocean University was completely controlling the pace of the game.

The commentator who was explaining the match live couldn't believe his eyes. After the short two-minute break between the third and fourth quarter, East Ocean University was like a drastically different team. They were able to see through all Jinghua University's weaknesses and attack them with strong teamwork.

Xie Wanjun was able to pinpoint the weak spot of Jinghua University's basketball team through watching the first three quarters on his computer screen, and his coaching worked.

"Hua..." The brown basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went into the net. Three points!

Jinghua University's coach who was standing outside the court suddenly turned pale.

Zhao Jiayi landed on the ground firmly, and he swung his fist up high.

All the cameras in the stadium focused on Zhao Jiayi, and the televisions that were on the sports channel in the country were showing Zhao Jiayi's close-up.

This short captain of East Ocean University was just performing average in the first half of the game. However, in the second half, especially the fourth quarter, he exhibited explosive powers that were shockingly good.

East Ocean University's basketball team was the only team in the top eight of the National College Basketball League without an official coach.

Bam! Zhao Jiayi flipped and fell to the ground.

The captain of Jinghua University's basketball team had bumped into Zhao Jiayi, making him fall.

The whistle blew.

"Damn! Intentional foul!" Zhou Liren, who was sitting in the stand, stood up and yelled agitatedly.

Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes wide to watch what was happening on the court. Hao Ren saw this and smiled.

Zhao Jiayi easily scored the two free throws and gained control of the ball.

Jinghua University's team coach's face turned paler. The captain was now useless and didn't get the opportunity to use his skills since two players of East Ocean University tightly guarded him.

There were ten minutes left in the last quarter, and it was already too late for Jinghua University to regroup. The basketball coach of Jinghua University didn't understand how East Ocean University could change so much from the first half of the game to now. They were barely able to catch up in the first half, but now they were in complete control.

Three points! Two points! East Ocean University scored consecutively! And Jinghua University's foul moves were useless!

East Ocean University's basketball team was getting better and smoother with their moves, while the members of Jinghua University's basketball team was getting more and more nervous!

Du... The whistle sounded, and the match was over.

[Jinghua University - 58: East Ocean University - 66]

"They won! They won!" Zhou Liren was so excited that he jumped up into the air.

Hao Ren also laughed loudly. He couldn't believe that Zhao Jiayi's dream of winning the national championship was fulfilled.

He suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi covered her face and murmured, "I... I said that I'd let you kiss me if Jinghua University won..."

Hao Ren reached out his hands and messed around with her hair as he smiled happily.

"I'm not a kid!" Zhao Yanzi rushed to push away Hao Ren's hands.

Zhou Liren and the other guys ran to the basketball court with excitement. Hao Ren took advantage of this opportunity and kissed Zhao Yanzi on the cheek. Then, he laughed and also ran toward the court.

Zhao Yanzi touched her face in astonishment. Then, she stood up and chased after Hao Ren, "You bad uncle!"

Since the champion was determined, the stadium was somewhat chaotic. There was anger, excitement, happiness, regret... all the emotions appeared in the stadium.

Hao Ren rushed over obviously because he was excited.

On the court, the two teams lined up in two rows facing each other. They moved in opposite directions and clapped each other's hands to show respect.

The muscles on Zhao Jiayi's body were so visible that he looked like a little tank. It was his first time as team captain, and he had successfully led the team to win the nationals. He was so satisfied and proud of his accomplishment.

Huang... The two-meter-tall captain of Jinghua University's basketball team intentionally used his shoulder to bump Zhao Jiayi's head, but he acted as if he didn't mean it,

The power of that hit was so strong that Zhao Jiayi backed up three steps.

"I'm sorry. You're a bit too short," this captain of Jinghua University said in a cold voice.

"What do you mean!" The team members who had fought alongside Zhao Jiayi in the battles to win the championship were now extremely agitated.

The teams who were giving each other high fives in an orderly fashion now turned into a jumbled mess. The two teams pushed and shoved each other as if they were going to start a fight at any second.

The director of the sports channel saw that things weren't going that well and rushed to switch the focus of their cameras.

"Damn. What do you mean! You can't take a loss!" Zhou Liren, who ran the fastest, had already run into the court.

He was usually the most scared, but he was incredibly hot-blooded right now as he dashed in front of the captain of Jinghua University's basketball team.

Zhou Liren was 1.8 meters tall, but he looked incredibly small in front of the two-meter-tall basketball giant.

Guys like Yu Rong, Huang Jianfeng, Cao Ronghua, and Gu Jiadong all rushed over.

Jinghua University and East Ocean University were arch enemies on the basketball court. Fighting was unavoidable. The East Ocean University has never been afraid of Jinghua University, so fighting inside the gym or outside made zero difference.

"What happened?"

Just when the two sides were about to start fighting, Hao Ren's calm voice sounded.

Jinghua University's captain was about to start hitting someone. However, when he saw Hao Ren, all the anger disappeared, and he couldn't help but back off two steps.

On Hao Ren's forehead was the inspector's fire symbol that only he could see, and Hao Ren let out a strong aura which was mid-tier Gen-level!

A Kan-level cultivator could only bully mortals. In front of a Gen-level cultivator, he didn't dare to do anything arrogant, especially when this Gen-level cultivator was an inspector.

"Not...Nothing." When this captain saw Hao Ren, he couldn't help but stutter.

One of the privileges of inspectors was that they could use their powers without obtaining permission first. If an inspector decided that a dragon cultivator was going against the tribe's rules, he or she could punish the offender on the spot!

A light punishment would be taking away the offender's cultivation strength, and a heavy punishment would be death!

After seeing that Hao Ren was glaring at him, this two-meter-tall captain of Jinghua University's basketball team turned over to Zhao Jiayi to apologize. "I'm sorry for what happened just... just now." The players on Jinghua University's basketball team saw that their captain's attitude had suddenly changed and were all shocked. They knew the personality of this new captain; even if he was at fault, he could never admit it.

"Only that?" Hao Ren asked.

"We, Jinghua University, have lost fair and square!" The captain of Jinghua University said.

"It's ok. We still have chances to play again in the future," Zhao Jiayi said that but didn't actually mean it.

The music sounded again, and the awarding ceremony for the National College Basketball League was about to begin.

The cameras switched back to the stadium and focused it on the heartwarming and exciting award ceremony.

Zhou Liren looked up at Zhao Jiayi and his team who were getting their trophy on stage, and he used his elbow to give Hao Ren a small nudge.

"Damn, how did you do it? That was amazing!"

Hao Ren said with an innocent expression on his face, "I don't know..."

The aura he imposed just now was only toward the captain of Jinghua University's basketball team, so mortals like Zhou Liren who didn't cultivate couldn't sense it at all.

"Wow..." Zhao Jiayi held the trophy up high on stage and let out a weird scream.

Now those classmates and neighbors who looked down at him could see him holding the trophy on television. Who knew that this short boy could win the National College Basketball League's championship?

"Uncle, if you were to play, you could get the trophy as well," Zhao Yanzi said.

Zhou Liren turned around and looked at this pretty little girl. "You're talking about Hao Ren? Psh... There's no way he could!"

Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes as she turned around and looked at that gold trophy. She imagined Hao Ren holding it up, and he would probably look quite dashing with it.

Any cultivators could easily get the champion, so they didn't care too much about it. For her, having a boyfriend who won the National College Basketball League's championships would be something worthy of showing off at school!

Hao Ren was good at everything, but he was too low-profile! It would be great if he won multiple national championships so that she could show off to the girls in her class.

At the last bit of the spectacular award ceremony, Zhou Liren ran up the stage and went over to Zhao Jiayi's side. He put his hand on Zhao Jiayi's shoulder and stole some of the spotlights, appearing on live television.

The basketball team was supposed to celebrate together, but Zhao Jiayi wanted to celebrate with his good friends from his dorm. Also, some of his teammates' girlfriends also came to support them, so they decided to celebrate later when school starts.

"That's incredible! National Champions!" Zhou Liren was so excited that he was still screaming when they walked out of the stadium, "Big brother Zhao, let me join the basketball team next year! I don't need to go onto the court to play! Just let me go on stage when we collect our trophy! Can I do it? Can I do it..."

Those people from Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo who cheered for East Ocean University had left after the game, and Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren like a sweet girlfriend.

"Let's find a place to eat. On me!" Zhao Jiayi said generously. He turned around and looked at Hao Ren, "Ren, what about you?"

"OK." Hao Ren nodded.

Zhao Yanzi quickly held onto Hao Ren's arm, making the appearance that they were close.

She saw through everything and knew that Hao Ren cared about the opinions of these good friends. Therefore, she had to establish herself as his fiancée to destroy Xie Yujia quickly.

Since Hao Ren spent time with Xie Yujia alone in New York, Zhao Yanzi could tell that he cared about the latter.

From her standpoint, Xie Yujia was using the gentle and considerate approach to slowly soften Hao Ren's mind, which was as dull as a piece of wood.

To Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia was her no.1 rival. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were not a threat at all!

"Ren, be honest with me. Is she your cousin!" Zhou Liren saw how close Zhao Yanzi was with Hao Ren. He was a bit jealous, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yanzi had a playful and cute aura, and Zhao Liren wanted to have a girlfriend just like her.

"Fiancée! Fiancée!" Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes widely and corrected Zhou Liren again.

Zhao Yanzi went all out. Before, there was no way she would admit this identity. But now, she wanted to make sure that everyone knew about it.

"She's from LingZhao Middle School, right?" Zhao Liren asked as he remembered something.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose. Nowadays, tons of middle-schooler were dating.

Zhou Liren opened his mouth. "Oh, LingZhao Middle School. When school starts this year, you guys..."

"Stop!" Zhao Yanzi rushed to hold her hands up, but Zhou Liren had already finished his sentence.

"Your school's new campus is right across from our university."
