Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

The entire stadium was completely silent.

Only the basketball hoop was still buzzing from that powerful dunk.

All eyes were focused on the figure number 7.

He stood there, sweat trickling down his jawline, his eyes cold, like a war god descended to earth.

Sun Hao sat on the ground, looking up at Li Chen, his face turning pale and then flushed.

humiliation.

This was a blatant and utter humiliation of him, in front of the entire school.

He wanted to say something harsh, but when he met Li Chen's emotionless eyes, all the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.

"beep--"

The referee's whistle finally broke the suffocating silence.

He gave Sun Hao a technical foul.

The bench of Linjiang University erupted in cheers.

"Awesome!!!"

"Fierce God! Fierce God!"

Captain Lin Feng waved the towel excitedly, as if he himself had just dunked.

After a brief moment of deathly silence, the stands erupted in thunderous cheers and screams.

"Aaaaaah! Kill him!! Li Chen! Kill him!"

"That's fucking handsome! That's what a man should be like!"

In the VIP section of the first row.

Yan Xi sat quietly, her face still expressionless.

But her knuckles, which were gripping the phone tightly on her lap, had turned slightly white from the force.

The student council members standing nearby were already dumbfounded.

"Chairman... your husband... is too amazing!"

A girl sighed softly.

Yan Xi didn't answer, but took out her phone, which showed her chat with Li Chen.

She typed a few words.

[Xi]: Remember the rules.

On the other side, Li Chen helped up Li Wen, who had been substituted off the field.

"Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a cramp, it'll be fine after a while."

Li Wen grinned, unable to contain his excitement, "Damn! Li Chen, you were so cool just now! That was so fucking satisfying!"

Li Chen patted him on the shoulder, telling him to go rest off the field.

Li Chen looked up at the aloof figure in the first row.

She was looking at him, her eyes filled with warning.

No injuries are allowed.

Li Chen sighed inwardly.

It seems that physical exorcism is not an option.

He put away his phone and went back onto the court.

Sun Hao had already been helped up by his teammates. He glared at Li Chen with resentment, but didn't dare to say anything more.

The game continues.

The playing style of the university's team has become even dirtier.

They seemed to have received some kind of instruction and began to use various subtle, imperceptible tactics against Li Chen.

Someone used their elbow to push against his ribs while blocking his position.

Someone deliberately stuck out their foot during the screen, trying to trip him.

Their goal was clear: to provoke Li Chen, or to injure him.

Li Chen saw through their intentions.

He no longer chose to confront them head-on and changed his playing style.

He no longer focused on individual offense, but instead became a frighteningly calm on-court commander.

His speed is still lightning fast, but it's no longer used for breakthroughs.

With his ghostly movements, he tore apart the opponent's defense.

A no-look pass sent the ball through the armpits of two defenders, landing smoothly in the hands of a teammate who easily scored a layup.

A bounce pass sent the basketball flying through the crowd, landing perfectly in the hands of captain Lin Feng as he cut inside, resulting in another two points.

He was like a top-notch chess player, with the entire stadium as his chessboard, and the opposing five players as pawns in his calculations.

All of the University of Science and Technology's defenses were rendered useless in front of him.

The more they tried to stop him with rough fouls, the more pathetic and powerless they appeared.

"What... what kind of fighting style is this?"

"He doesn't fight you at all, but you just can't defend against him!"

The coach from the university of science and technology was jumping up and down in frustration on the sidelines.

Sun Hao was on the verge of going crazy.

He felt like a monkey being toyed with; no matter how much he jumped around, he couldn't touch Li Chen's clothes.

Instead, due to her impatience, she was caught off guard by Li Chen during a defensive play. She faked a move and crashed directly into Li Chen.

"beep--"

The referee blew his whistle again.

Fourth foul!

Sun Hao looked at the referee in disbelief, then at Li Chen, who remained calm.

He got it.

This guy has been scheming against him from beginning to end.

He was sent off.

Amidst the jeers of the Linjiang University students, Sun Hao slunk off the court.

He sat on the bench, a towel covering his face, his shoulders shaking violently with anger.

Without their leader, the university of science and technology team completely collapsed.

The point difference was quickly widened.

The players from Linjiang University played better and better, and one of their teammates even made a long-range three-pointer, which drew another cheer from the crowd.

Li Chen watched all of this with a calm expression.

He didn't enjoy the game as much as he wanted.

This feeling of being restricted and constrained is very uncomfortable.

But when he thought about Yan Xi's "rules," he felt that this feeling wasn't so bad after all.

He was proving it to her in another way.

This proves that he has not only brute strength, but also intelligence.

He proved that he was capable of maintaining control of the entire situation while adhering to her rules.

With half of the fourth quarter gone, the outcome was already decided.

Captain Lin Feng substituted Li Chen, letting him receive the cheers of a hero from the entire audience.

Li Chen walked to the sidelines and took the water his teammate handed him.

As he unscrewed the bottle cap and tilted his head back to drink, his gaze swept across the crowd and met Yan Xi's eyes in the first row.

Yan Xi looked at him, and a barely perceptible smile slowly curved her lips.

That look seemed to be saying something.

—You're smart to know your place.

Li Chen smiled.

He put down the water bottle and was just about to sit down.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a scene on the bench of the University of Science and Technology.

Sun Hao, who had been sent off, had somehow removed the towel from his head.

He didn't look at the field, but stared intently at Li Chen.

Then, he gave a sinister, suggestive smile to his teammate, who was the tallest and looked the most ferocious on the field.

The teammate nodded knowingly.

His gaze, like that of a venomous snake, locked onto Li Chen's knee, which he had just relaxed.

Li Chen's eyes instantly turned cold.

The game isn't over yet.
