A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear?"

"Jiang Chen from Class 4 of Senior Three is going to have a one-on-one basketball match with Xu Yunzhou, the school heartthrob, on the basketball court after school today!"

"What? Jiang Chen? That's the genius student who just scored a perfect 750 on the monthly exam?"

"Yeah! That's him! I heard the stakes are huge; the loser has to bark like a dog three times in front of the whole school on the basketball court!"

"Holy crap! That's exciting? But... wasn't Jiang Chen a fatso weighing 300 pounds before? Can he even play basketball? You know, Xu Yunzhou is a key player on the school team!"

"Who knows? Anyway, Xu Yunzhou has posted the news on forums and in groups, clearly planning to make a big scene!"

"Is Jiang Chen getting cocky? Even if he's slimmer, more handsome, and has better grades now, can basketball be learned quickly?"

"I bet Xu Yunzhou will finish the fight within ten minutes!"

"I bet five minutes!"

……

That afternoon.

The QQ groups and WeChat groups for all the senior classes at Jiangcheng No. 3 High School were in an uproar.

The school's online forum also has a pinned post: "[5:30 PM, the basketball showdown of the century! Academic genius vs. school heartthrob, the loser barks like a dog!]"

Posted by: Anonymous.

But everyone knew who it was, after all, Xu Yunzhou was the kind of guy who would broadcast to the whole school with a megaphone.

Then, all the students in the school began to pay attention to and discuss the basketball game between Jiang Chen and Xu Yunzhou.

That's exactly the effect Xu Yunzhou wanted.

The more people who pay attention, the better; the more sensational the commotion, the better.

He wanted Jiang Chen to make him pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for the humiliation he had suffered that morning in front of the whole school!

……

"Ring ring!!!"

The bell rang to signal the end of the last class of the afternoon.

In the past, after the monthly exams were over and the results were released, it would be the end of the month before the holidays. Students who were already eager to go home would definitely leave school as soon as possible.

But today, very few students went out of the school. Instead, a huge crowd surged toward the school basketball court like a tide.

"Hurry up! If we're late, we won't get good spots!"

"Hey, don't push! People in the back, don't push!"

"My shoes! Who stepped on my shoes? They're brand new!"

"Damn it, are they all in such a rush to be reincarnated?"

"Nonsense! This is the ultimate showdown between the academic genius and the school heartthrob! You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!"

……

Less than five minutes.

The basketball court was immediately packed with people.

Three layers inside, three layers outside, a huge mass of human heads.

Some people couldn't squeeze in, so they simply climbed onto the horizontal bar next to them, behind the basketball hoop, or even climbed directly onto the school wall, where the view was excellent.

A rough count suggests at least five or six hundred people.

This scale is even more extravagant than the opening ceremony of a school sports meet.

Wow, if you ask why this match is so popular?

Xu Yunzhou's vigorous promotion was only one aspect.

The main reason is that Xu Yunzhou is a well-known basketball king and campus heartthrob. He is always popular when he plays basketball and has a group of loyal female fans who will cheer for him.

at the same time.

Jiang Chen had just achieved a perfect score in the monthly exam, transforming from "the fattest boy in the whole school" into "the bald academic genius," which was also the height of his fame.

But suddenly he wants to bet against Xu Yunzhou on basketball, and the loser has to bark like a dog. Who wouldn't want to hear this gossip?

"Look, Xu Yunzhou is here!"

A sudden commotion erupted in the crowd.

Then Xu Yunzhou, wearing his signature overalls, walked onto the court with one hand in his pocket, a basketball twirling between his fingers, and an air of nonchalance.

"Whoa!!!"

A chorus of screams erupted from the sidelines.

"Wow, Zhouzhou is so handsome! Those overalls are absolutely amazing!"

"His fingertip ball-spinning technique is so elegant; the basketball seems to come alive in his hands!"

"Go Zhouzhou! Crush that fat bastard Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen is just a bit better at academics, right? He's definitely not as good at basketball as my Zhouzhou!"

……

Hearing the screams from the crowd, Xu Yunzhou's mouth stretched almost to his ears, and he felt incredibly satisfied.

He glanced at the stands.

Sure enough, in a very conspicuous area, school beauty Su Qingyao and her best friend Zhao Jiajia also arrived.

He was standing in the crowd looking this way.

Very good, excellent.

Xu Yunzhou was inwardly laughing hysterically.

The reason he's making such a big fuss about this match today isn't just to make Jiang Chen bark like a dog in public and embarrass him.

more importantly……

He wanted to fully demonstrate his basketball skills in front of the entire school, especially in front of the school beauty, Su Qingyao!

He wanted to show Su Qingyao who the real school heartthrob and basketball king was, and who the most powerful person in the school was.

Just thinking about how Su Qingyao might be captivated by his incredibly handsome and dashing ball skills later on...

Xu Yunzhou felt his whole body brimming with energy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Before Jiang Chen arrived.

He then began to enthusiastically show off his ball skills.

Dribbling, quick change of direction, behind-the-back dribble followed by a crossover, and then a smooth spin—the movements are fluid and graceful. Although the style is somewhat feminine, it is undeniably elegant and beautiful.

Immediately afterwards, he used his signature move, spinning the basketball 180 degrees with his fingertips, followed by a "boat-style iron mountain lean," completing the entire move in one smooth motion with a visually stunning effect.

"Aaaaaah, Zhouzhou Zhouzhou!!!"

"So handsome! I'm going to faint!"

"Zhouzhou's movements are even smoother than her brother's, who's been practicing for two and a half years!"

The girls' screams reached a fever pitch, almost lifting the basketball court off its feet.

Even Su Qingyao in the stands had to admit it.

Xu Yunzhou's playing style is indeed very entertaining.

Although she doesn't like this effeminate type of guy, and his looks don't quite meet her standards.

But undeniably, Xu Yunzhou's playing style has a unique aesthetic that can make girls scream.

Of course, Su Qingyao remained rather reserved, simply watching quietly.

But Zhao Jiajia next to her had already gone crazy, shouting along with the other girls.

"Zhouzhou! Zhouzhou! You're so cool!"

"Aaaaaah, I'm going to die..."

Hearing the thunderous screams, Xu Yunzhou felt an immense sense of exhilaration, his confidence practically overflowing.

While showing off his ball skills, he was secretly plotting something.

"The match can't end too quickly!"

"Take down Jiang Chen in three rounds? That's too easy on him, and it wouldn't show him his full strength!"

"We need to prolong the match, show off more difficult moves, and ideally keep Su Qingyao glued to the screen..."

He had even started fantasizing about Su Qingyao coming to talk to him after the match.

the other side.

In contrast to the screams of the female fans.

The expressions of the boys around him were much more subtle.

"Tsk, that move...it looks good, but why does it have such a sissy feel to it?"

"You don't understand, girls fall for this!"

"I personally don't appreciate it... but Xu Yunzhou's skills are undeniable, Jiang Chen is in trouble today!"

"It's not just uncertain, it's a sure loss. After all, Xu Yunzhou is a key player on the school team. How can Jiang Chen possibly compete?"

Yes, that's what the boys are saying.

Xu Yunzhou completely ignored the negative aspects about himself and only listened to the positive ones.

Then, he felt even happier.

He was already eagerly anticipating Jiang Chen's arrival, so he could thoroughly thrash him.

however.

A good ten minutes or so passed.

Jiang Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Immediately, many people on the sidelines began to murmur among themselves.

"Why hasn't Jiang Chen arrived yet? Did he chicken out?"

"Possibly. Judging from Xu Yunzhou's elegant moves just now, his skills are clearly amazing. Jiang Chen was probably intimidated by that and it's perfectly normal that he didn't dare to come!"

"What a pity, I was hoping to see the ultimate showdown between the academic genius and the school heartthrob, but I ended up watching nothing..."

Xu Yunzhou's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it, is Jiang Chen really going to stand me up?"

"I've been promoting this all afternoon, warming up for over ten minutes, and the whole school's audience has come. Su Qingyao is here too. If she doesn't come, wouldn't I look like a clown?"

He couldn't help but glance in Su Qingyao's direction again, and seeing that she seemed to be looking around as well, he became even more anxious.

Good thing...

5:50 minutes.

Just as the crowd began to stir and Xu Yunzhou was about to lose his composure.

"Here he comes! Jiang Chen is here!"

Someone shouted, and all eyes in the stadium turned to the stadium entrance.

Jiang Chen strolled leisurely from the direction of the cafeteria, accompanied by Tang Ruoxi and Hao Yingjun.

The three walked and chatted, looking as relaxed as if they were taking a stroll, showing no sign of tension whatsoever.

Everyone present: ???

Xu Yunzhou: "????"

Upon seeing this, Xu Yunzhou immediately broke down.

Damn, he came to the basketball court early as soon as he finished class and was waiting for the game, but Jiang Chen was thinking of eating first and then coming.

What does this mean?

Does that mean they don't take him seriously at all?

But that wasn't the most damaging thing; what broke his defenses even more was...

"Make way, make way!"

The crowd automatically parted to form a path.

Jiang Chen, Tang Ruoxi, and Hao Yingjun strolled leisurely into the basketball court.

next second.

The girls who were just screaming and cheering for Xu Yunzhou suddenly quieted down.

Immediately following this, an even more enthusiastic and frenzied exclamation erupted.

"Holy crap! That's Jiang Chen? How can he be so handsome?"

"That face...that skin...that bald head...my god, is this real beauty?"

"Everyone said Jiang Chen was incredibly handsome after losing weight, but they never expected him to be even more stunning in person! His features are so defined! Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and such a high nose bridge!"

"No, look at his physique! Although he's still a bit muscular, his upper and lower body proportions are amazing!"

"His legs are so long! His shoulders are so broad! Is this really the same fat guy who used to weigh 300 pounds?"

"Aura! The key is aura! Don't you guys feel it? The moment Jiang Chen walked over, there was this...academic genius aura shining through him? No, it was an aura of academic prodigy emanating from him! Looking at him, I actually felt like kneeling down and calling him 'boss'!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's that kind of academic genius who 'possesses all truth,' it's just too awesome!"
