Why is the Demon King like this?

Chapter 105 Ball Skills Tournament (Part 4)

Inside the stadium, there seemed to be an invisible heat surrounding everyone, making people unable to help but stand up and cheer. The sound waves converged and emitted an amazing momentum, as if it was possible to inject power into the athletes' bodies through some magical means.

At the edge of the court, the score on the scoreboard is 29:40.

Class 5, led by Keisuke Ao, maintained their lead at halftime.

After a short break, all ten players returned to the field.

"I—" Hashigami Hayato clutched his heart, as if he had sensed something.

Something seemed different. Upon re-entering the game, even though the score was behind, boundless strength and conviction surged from the depths of his body.

Was it because of the cheers around them?

Spirituality surrounded them, liberating them from the limitations of being mortal.

His talent is quietly coming to fruition.

"Hawk, right now I feel like I can do anything!" Small forward Daiki Shinkawa clenched his fist, feeling countless extraordinary flashes of inspiration in his mind.

In Keisuke Ao's eyes, his spirituality index has exceeded 95.

"Let's turn the game around in the third quarter!" shouted Kouichi Kuniyuu. "I'm going to completely shut down Keisuke Ao in the second half!"

"Yes, victory is absolutely essential!"

"Seriously, these guys." Da Men wiped his sweat and laughed, "We're down by 11 points and they're still making such a big show of things, acting like we're some kind of demon king."

"Doesn't this force us to get fired up too?"

"In the second half, we need to widen the score gap significantly!"

"oh-!

Apart from Keisuke Ao, the other nine people on the field have all changed to varying degrees, the most obvious being their eyes, which have all become incredibly focused.

This is the most direct manifestation of spirituality!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Keisuke Ao gently patted the basketball, strolled across the half-court, and waited for his teammates to get into position and spread out their defense.

The tactic adopted by Class 2 in the first half was to abandon the defense of others and devote a lot of manpower to double-teaming him. The tall Kuniyuu Kota spared no effort in guarding him, while the agile Hashigami Hayabusa cooperated to surround him.

If necessary, there can be as many as four players inside to suppress him at the same time.

It can be said that its strength is quite high.

The four men, including Damen, were anxious as they watched, but their methods of raising their fathers were no match for the three "professional players." They were often caught off guard by the three "professional players" who would set traps and launch counterattacks.

Even so, Keisuke Ao still managed to score 40 points against them.

Part of the credit goes to the teammates; as long as the pass is accurate, allowing them to score layups without defense, the shooting percentage is quite high.

Keisuke Aoki smiled as he sensed the rich spirituality in the air.

The environment, created by chance, already bears a resemblance to the otherworldly realm it once was.

This also means that he can use these spiritualities to make up for the losses caused by Hanako-1's battle with the Titans.

Otherwise, relying solely on the spiritual energy contained within a magic circle to maintain operation for another twenty minutes would be nothing short of wishful thinking.

Moreover, if we're talking about who benefits the most from this environment, it's definitely him!

In the entire world, there is probably no one with a higher absorption efficiency than Qing Guijie. At this moment, he is almost greedily devouring the overflowing spirituality to fill the foundation needed for the spiritual transformation.

Others can only experience it temporarily, but he can truly claim it as his own!

So even though the bottleneck that was blocking him had become as thin as paper, he was not in a hurry to take that step.

"call"

Once past half-court, Kota Kuniyu immediately came up to him, his 1.9-meter-tall frame crouching down, lowering his center of gravity, his eyes fixed on him and the basketball.

He looked like a focused wild beast, ready to snatch the basketball from his hands at any moment.

Bring it on!

Keisuke Ao raised an eyebrow and immediately sensed the difference. First of all, his stance had become quite perfect. Just by observing his muscles and center of gravity, it was no longer easy to shake him off.

Next is the sense of distance, always maintaining a distance that allows him to best utilize his height and long arms.

This kind of subconscious judgment is more of a "talent" than an ability.

On the flanks, Hayato Hashigami is always ready to cover, blocking his path to the basket or the angle of his pass.

Keisuke Ao had no doubt that if he passed the ball now, they would intercept it.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Without hesitation, he began to accelerate, the basketball bouncing nimbly between his left and right hands as his body weight shifted, and the frequency of his dribbling suddenly increased.

左？

右？

Kouichi Kouta was drenched in sweat, desperately trying to block the ball. Even if it only made Keisuke Ao use up his excess energy, it would be a success!

He took small, quick steps to close in on the defender, then turned and dodged the opponent's clumsy screen.

But a turn of his head left him half a body length behind Qing Keijie.

Keisuke Ao accelerated again beyond the three-point line. His starting speed was now even more astonishing, like a gust of wind, and he forcefully left Yuuka Kuni behind.

Hashigami Hayato immediately came to cover, spreading his arms wide. With his left hand, he subtly anticipated Keisuke Ao's shot and reached down to intercept the ball.

Many people subconsciously focus their attention on the ball itself when playing ball, especially when Lao Liu tries to retrieve the ball, he often only knows how to retrieve the ball from the other person's hand.

However, in reality, as long as you can see the direction the basketball is bouncing and anticipate it in advance, you can intercept the ball halfway back, which will greatly increase your success rate.

Keisuke Ao immediately bent down and slapped the basketball to the other side before Hayabusa could touch it on the bridge.

But once his rhythm is disrupted, he has to slow down to match the trajectory of the basketball.

"Don't even think about going there!"

"Oh?"

Keisuke Ao adjusted his pace and changed direction three times in a row, making the onlookers dizzy, but Hayabusa Hashigami still stayed firmly by his side.

In the time it took, Kouichi Kuniyuu had already caught up from behind and was about to rejoin his position when Keisuke Ao decisively blocked Hayabusa's view with his body and dribbled the basketball again.

The basketball passed directly between Hayabusa's legs, and Keisuke Ao, having separated from the ball, suddenly increased his speed, passing right past Hayabusa.

"Stop him!" Hashigami Hayabusa desperately tried to turn around, but almost lost his balance and fell.

Kokuyuuka rushed over and stayed close behind Aoki Keisuke. If his teammates could stop Aoki Keisuke, he might be able to block the ball.

Keisuke Ao ignored him, caught the bouncing ball, and his speed increased. He took two steps to pass the other person and then suddenly took off!

Instead of taking another step to attack the inside, he soared high into the air like a cannonball.

He jumped higher and faster than anyone else!

At the same time, a blood-soaked giant flew out of the barrier and flew over the stadium.

Hanako No. 1 chased after the giant with a maniacal laugh, tearing at the giant's majestic armor with her tiny hands.

"ha!"

The longsword and the fist clashed fiercely in the air above the stadium, and blood fell like raindrops, mixed with fragments of spirit and flesh, but these things and powers seemed to be separated from the real world by an untouchable membrane.

Midway through, they froze in place, blood and flesh, spirit and magic, like fireworks hanging in mid-air.

Keisuke Ao's face was illuminated by the light, and then he slammed the basketball into the hoop.

"Bang!"
