Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

Akagi gave a cold laugh.

Endurance test?

He is the pillar of Shohoku, the kingpin of the inside!

How could I possibly lose to this novice?

"it is good."

"Then I'll show you what true resilience is."

Akagi accepted the challenge in a deep voice.

"I'm joining too!"

Miyagi raised his hand.

"As a point guard, my willpower is the strongest."

"Tch, this kind of boring elementary school game..."

Mitsui said he was bored, but his body betrayed him by sinking down, leaving only his head sticking out.

"Since you're asking for torture, I'll reluctantly play along."

Even Rukawa Kaede, who was always a loner, quietly found a corner and shrank into the water, blowing out a string of bubbles: "White... glug glug... idiot."

Clearly, he's also involved.

This is a battle for men's dignity; no one wants to be the "spineless coward."

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

What was originally a pleasant experience gradually turned into torture.

This is a hot spring with a temperature of 42 degrees Celsius!

Everyone's faces turned as red as boiled crabs.

Sweat poured down my forehead; it was like I was being boiled alive.

"Huff... huff..."

Mitsui began to breathe heavily, his heart pounding like a drum.

Damn it, I should have known better than to eat so much tempura, my stomach is churning.

"What's wrong? The other woman?"

Sakuragi smugly said, "Can't do it anymore? Physically useless?"

"Shut up!"

Mitsui gritted his teeth, "I can... soak for another hour!"

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule." Sakuragi turned to look at Akagi.

Akagi had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and veins bulging on his forehead; he was clearly putting on a brave face.

"Gorilla, if you pass out, we'll take care of getting you out of there for free."

"So verbose!"

Akagi growled, "Mind your own business!"

Just then, everyone's gaze turned to the other side.

There, Lin Bei was leaning against the pool wall, arms outstretched, looking quite content.

Instead of a mask of pain, his face wore a smile of enjoyment, and he was even humming a song.

"This guy..."

Miyagi was a little annoyed. "How come you look perfectly fine?"

"Is this the composure of a genius?" Sakuragi retorted, unconvinced.

He moved closer quietly, his gaze beginning to scan Lin Bei with ill intent.

The water surface shimmered, and the body beneath the surface was vaguely visible.

"cut."

Sakuragi curled his lip, looking disdainful: "Master, although you're good at basketball, your physique... well..."

Sakuragi patted his rock-hard pectoral muscles, making a crisp "slap slap" sound:

"This genius is still superior!"

"Look at those muscles! Those lines!"

"These are a man's badges of honor!"

Akagi opened his eyes and glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes revealed a mysterious confidence that said, "I'm the center, and I'm the strongest."

The boys began to secretly compete with each other.

Some flexed their biceps, while others inhaled and contracted their abdominal muscles to show off their abs.

Even Rukawa Kaede straightened his back silently, revealing his muscular physique.

Even Takamiya Nozomi and the others were striking various bodybuilding poses.

The hot spring pool instantly transformed into a bodybuilding competition venue, with a strong scent of male hormones filling the air.

"Things like body shape."

Lin Bei spoke lazily, without even lifting his eyelids, his voice languid and magnetic: "You can't win just by having more flesh."

"Then what do you rely on?" Sakuragi pressed.

Lin Bei's lips curled into a playful smile as he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Sakuragi's exaggerated movements.

"Coordination, explosive power, and..."

Lin Bei paused, his gaze becoming somewhat profound: "Core."

"Tch, what a load of nonsense."

Miyagi curled his lip in disdain, his gaze shifting downwards.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, he grinned mischievously and pointed at Lin Bei underwater: "Hey, Lin Bei, you've been sitting still the whole time, are you hiding something?"

"What are you trying to hide?"

"To conceal my King's Sword?" Lin Bei raised an eyebrow.

Miyagi made a lewd pinky gesture, his eyes mocking. "King's Sword? I think it's more like an earthworm."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Even Akagi's lips twitched slightly.

In an all-male setting, such vulgar jokes always resonate most strongly.

"earthworm?"

Sakuragi laughed so hard he almost fell over, splashing water everywhere.

"Master, so you're this 'petite' type?"

"It's alright, this genius won't discriminate against you!"

"While you're strong on the court, it seems this genius has won in this aspect!"

Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, Lin Bei was not angry, and his expression did not even waver.

He simply sighed softly.

That look in his eyes was like a dragon looking down on a group of ignorant ants, full of pity.

"ignorance."

Lin Bei uttered two words calmly.

"Don't always rely on your intuition to judge whether things are good or bad."

"And don't try to fathom the realm of God with your barren imagination."

Done.

Lin Bei braced himself against the pool wall with both hands.

"Splash—"

Water splashed everywhere.

He slowly stood up.

His movements were elegant and composed, exuding an aura of supreme authority.

As he stood up, water droplets slid down his strong, muscular physique.

The crowd, who had been laughing, suddenly fell silent.

It's like a duck being choked.

Their eyes widened, their pupils contracted violently, their mouths opened into a perfect "O" shape, and their chins almost hit the water.

The gaze followed Lin Bei's body upwards... and then downwards.

Then, it froze in place.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Only the crisp sound of bamboo tubes striking stones in the distance, startling the deer, rang out, sounding particularly jarring.

"this……"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's towel fell into the water, and he froze.

"It's...it's a lie, right?"

Nozomi Takamiya's jaw really did dislocate.

Yohei Mito rubbed his eyes frantically, suspecting he was hallucinating from being soaked in the water.

Even Rukawa Kaede, who always had a poker face, showed a hint of shock at this moment.

His sleepy eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly widened as if he had seen an alien.

Takenori Akagi gasped in shock; his dignity as a gorilla had suffered an unprecedented blow.

That shadow...

It was absolutely overwhelming!

Lin Bei stood on the shore, looking down at his teammates who were standing there dumbfounded in the water.

He gave a crooked smile.

That smile contained three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance.

"Did you see it clearly?"

Lin Bei's voice echoed in the empty bathhouse, carrying an aura of sacred and inviolable majesty.

"What you call earthworms..."

"It's nothing more than a holy sword that hasn't been drawn yet."

He raised his head slightly and said proudly:

"And the holy sword after it's drawn..."

"Then it will unleash the light of the blade, severing all illusions in the world!"

"Swastika——!!"

Although he didn't shout those two words, it seemed as if this exciting background music automatically played in everyone's minds.

The visual impact, the sense of oppression.

That was a hundred times more terrifying than when he dunked on Maki Shinichi on the court!

Everyone: "Wow!!!!!"

The unified gasps of amazement were filled with awe, shock, and a utter sense of defeat for a man.

Lost.

We've lost completely.

Not only were their ball skills inferior, but their "core equipment" was also completely crushed.

Is this Lin Bei?

Is this the man chosen by God?

This is simply leaving no way for ordinary people to survive!
