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

Several thugs around also drew their guns.

Deadly danger detonated!

Miyagi Ryota's pupils contracted, and cold sweat cascaded down his back.

"Firearms..."

Rukawa Kaede's breathing stopped, and all his muscles were tense to the limit.

Even the most skilled high school student is as fragile as paper in the face of firearms!

"Get out of the way, Sakuragi!" Miyagi roared in a hoarse voice.

But it's too late.

The scarred man's lips curled into a cruel smile as his index finger gripped the trigger tightly.

His goal was very clear.

Sakuragi's thigh!

A matter of life and death!

"call--"

A cold night wind swept through the back alley.

"Bang!"

A dull whistling sound rang out! It wasn't a gunshot!

A basketball, like a cannonball, roared out from the shadows with terrifying kinetic energy!

Speed ​​up the pass!

"Snap!!!"

"ah!!!"

The basketball slammed into the scarred man's right wrist, which was holding the gun, at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

A crisp sound of bones breaking echoed through the night sky as the pistol flew out of the hand.

The scarred man clutched his twisted and deformed wrist, letting out a pig-like scream.

After hitting the target, the basketball bounced strangely into the air with its high spin.

A tall, slender figure in black stepped out of the shadows.

It was Lin Bei!

He caught the rebounding basketball steadily with one hand, his dark eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

He remained completely unmoved by the presence of firearms.

Lin Bei's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a suffocatingly cold tone.

"System, consume all accumulated slacking points to exchange for [Advanced Tai Chi]."

[Ding! Your slacking-off points have been deducted, and Advanced Tai Chi Mastery has been loaded.]

The transformative power of ancient martial arts and the fierce, inch-force of Bajiquan are perfectly integrated within Lin Bei's body.

"Fire! Kill him!" the scarred man roared as he fell to the ground.

The gangsters, as if waking from a dream, all raised their guns and opened fire.

But Lin Bei was too fast!

He slammed the basketball to the ground, and using the rebound, he used Tai Chi-like footwork to cut into the crowd!

"Bang!"

The first shot missed, the bullet grazing Lin Bei's afterimage and shattering the water pipe.

Lin Bei moved in close like a ghost, using Tai Chi-like energy to entangle the gunman's arm and then pulling him off balance.

Immediately following is the [Bajiquan - Top Heart Elbow]!

"Snap!"

A terrifying, short-range force slammed into the opponent's chest.

With his ribs broken, the man coughed up blood and flew backward, knocking over two of his accomplices.

The killing began in the back alley!

Lin Bei is absolutely insane with killing!

He transformed into a black lightning bolt, weaving through the lines of fire.

Tai Chi deflects force, Bajiquan kills the enemy!

"Snap!"

A black man who attempted a sneak attack was grabbed by the wrist by Lin Bei.

A twist of the Tai Chi coiling force caused a comminuted fracture of the wrist.

Immediately following a powerful Bajiquan Iron Mountain Strike, the man was embedded directly into the discarded barbed wire.

"No...don't come any closer!"

The remaining gang members completely broke down and frantically pulled the triggers.

However, according to Lin Bei's [Eye of the Heavenly Emperor] prediction, the trajectory of the ballistic missile was as slow as a snail.

Lin Bei strolled leisurely amidst the hail of bullets, his movements concise and deadly.

ten seconds.

Just ten seconds!

Lin Bei slowly stopped and shook his wrist.

The entire back alley became a bloody battlefield.

A dozen armed gangsters lay in pools of blood, their limbs twisted and convulsing in pain.

Broken bones littered the ground, and wails filled the alley!

Dead silence.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, Miyagi Ryota, and Rukawa Kaede stood frozen in place.

The way they looked at Lin Bei completely changed.

Is this something a human being could do?!

Awe!

A deep-seated reverence etched into the soul!

"Master...Master..."

Sakuragi swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

Rukawa Kaede's back was soaked with cold sweat, his fists clenched, and the admiration in his eyes almost materialized.

"Why are you out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you looking for trouble?"

Lin Bei turned around, picked up the basketball from the ground, and twirled it between his fingertips.

The murderous intent on his face receded like a tide, and he returned to his usual languid state.

He raised his left hand and glanced at his Patek Philippe watch.

"It's getting late."

"Go back to sleep!"

……

The next day

Tokyo International Airport, Japan.

With a deafening roar of its engines, the black luxury private jet landed smoothly.

The hatch opened.

The entire Xiangbei team, carrying their luggage, stepped out of the plane.

The morning light of the day of the decisive battle pierced through the clouds and shone upon them.

The bright red Xiangbei team uniform fluttered in the wind.

A fierce fire burned in everyone's eyes.

The national finals have begun!

……

The venue for the national competition finals.

The narrow players' tunnel was dimly lit.

The old coach from Mingpeng Industrial, with his hands behind his back, suddenly opened his half-closed eyes.

"What's going on...?"

The old man muttered to himself, his heart pounding uncontrollably twice.

An inexplicable feeling of unease gripped his heart, as if an invisible hand was tightly choking him.

Approaching us was the entire Shohoku team, who had just arrived at the stadium.

There was no pre-match tension, and no one was whispering among themselves.

The group of boys in red jackets moved in remarkably unison.

With each step he took, he carried a fierce and menacing aura, as if he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Ah-Kuan!"

The old man turned around and roared at the mountain of flesh behind him:

"Put away that arrogant attitude! We absolutely cannot underestimate our opponent today!"

"what?"

Morishige Hiroshi picked his nose, his face showing a clear, utterly foolish expression:

Why are you being so long-winded today?

"Aren't they just a bunch of short people?"

He muttered to himself as he swaggered forward.

The passageway was already narrow.

Morishige Hiroshi's massive body resembled an out-of-control heavy tank.

With its arrogant momentum, it crashed straight into Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was walking at the front of Shohoku.

He neither dodged nor evaded.

It's obviously intentional!

"Hey, redhead, you look like you're easy to bump into, hehe."

Morishige Hiroshi grinned widely, his smile revealing a malicious intent.

With his right shoulder slumping down, he slammed into Sakuragi's chest with a destructive force!

"Sakuragi!" Ryota Miyagi's expression changed drastically.

In the past, Sakuragi Hanamichi would have definitely delivered a headbutt straight to him.

But now—

"idiot."

Rukawa Kaede coldly uttered two words without even lifting his eyelids.

Facing this behemoth weighing a full 100 kilograms, Sakuragi Hanamichi remained surprisingly calm.

His eyes, which usually revealed impatience, were frighteningly steady at this moment.

Want to bump into this genius?

Sakuragi laughed in exasperation, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Just as their bodies were about to collide!

Sakuragi's legs were slightly apart, his heels firmly planted in the floor, and his core strength was compressed to the extreme.

Rodman's Secret Techniques: Lower Body Positioning!

"Bang!"

A dull thud of muscles colliding echoed through the corridor!

There was no horrific scene of being hit and thrown into the air as I had imagined.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was like an iron tower welded to the ground, taking full force of Morishige Hiroshi's brutal attack!

Not only that!

At the moment of contact, Sakuragi straightened his waist, dissipating the terrifying impact into the ground through his lower body.

It then bounced back with even greater ferocity!

"What?!"

Morishige Hiroshi's smile froze on the spot.

A powerful reaction force, like a tsunami, surged down his shoulders and into his entire body.

This behemoth, known as the strongest monster in the country, actually staggered back half a step uncontrollably!

His face was filled with astonishment!

"this one?"

"Haven't you eaten, little brother?"
