Chapter 135: It Shall Be Done

The middle-aged white American man still believed that Geng Haoshi’s suspension in midair was merely an illusion caused by him being in the midst of an upward leap.

Only Geng Haoshi knew clearly in his heart that he had genuinely hung in the air for a full two seconds—this was no trick of the eye.

Geng Haoshi 5.0: Without any support whatsoever, I actually stayed suspended in the air for two whole seconds! The system’s rewards are indeed mysterious and astonishing!

Geng Haoshi 5.0 couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

9527: Because the dimensional level of the planet I come from is far higher than yours, there are countless things beyond your imagination!

Usually, Geng Haoshi wasn’t very fond of it, but at this moment, 9527 felt a rare sense of adoration.

Though it was just a system, it too had its vanity.

“My prince, so handsome!” “Prince, I love you!” “Prince, I want to bear your children!”...

From the stands, 520 female fans known as the “Red Rose Admirers” broke the silence of the arena, erupting in a thunderous roar of cheers.

“So that’s who they mean by ‘prince’.”

“No wonder he’s so extraordinary, it makes sense why he has so many female fans!”

“Jingtian University has been overtaken again! Looks like Tiancheng Polytechnic still has a chance.”

At this moment, many spectators by the sidelines, stirred by Geng Haoshi’s midair dunk, began to harbor a sliver of hope that Tiancheng Polytechnic might clinch the championship.

Suddenly, 9527’s voice echoed in Geng Haoshi’s mind.

9527: Congratulations, Master. Because you have successfully completed 50 dunks in the official matches, you have earned the “Peerless Hero” dunk reward once, as well as the “Unstoppable Force” dunk reward and the “Rainbow Piercing” dunk reward, each once. Once activated, the “Peerless Hero” dunk reward guarantees a successful dunk whenever the user appears within 4.3 meters of the opponent’s hoop. I hope Master continues to strive for more rewards.

Geng Haoshi: Peerless Hero? Such a flashy name, but it only extends the effective distance by 0.3 meters compared to the “Rainbow Piercing” dunk reward?

9527: Master, don’t underestimate that extra 0.3 meters. In NBA history, the longest dunk distance started from the free-throw line, which is approximately 4.225 meters from the hoop’s center. So, with the “Peerless Hero” dunk reward, you can jump from the free-throw line to dunk. Isn’t that incredible?

Geng Haoshi: Hmm, got it.

9527: ...Is that all?

9527’s recently regained vanity was once again mercilessly trampled by Geng Haoshi.

Right now, there was only one thing on Geng Haoshi’s mind: winning. He had no time to appreciate 9527’s greatness.

Geng Haoshi pondered: I still have one use each of the “Unstoppable Force,” “Rainbow Piercing,” and “Peerless Hero” dunk rewards left. With just over two minutes remaining, I must make the most of them.

After Geng Haoshi scored, possession returned to Jingtian University.

“Guys, block this shot!” Geng Haoshi took up his defensive stance.

Meng Lang, Zhu Di, Sun Peng, and Zhou Xiaoshan each positioned themselves firmly, ready to defend.

Seeing their lead overturned, Jingtian University launched a fierce counterattack. But caught off guard by Tiancheng Polytechnic's rapid defense and offense, the Jingtian players were exhausted.

Of the ten players on the court, all but Geng Haoshi were too drained to sprint furiously anymore.

Thanks to the “Power Surge” effect, Geng Haoshi felt like he was injected with adrenaline, as if every ounce of fat in his body was burning away.

“Slap!”

Swiftly weaving through the court, Geng Haoshi snatched the ball from Jingtian University’s main point guard, Yu Xiaotian.

Immediately, he drove the ball straight toward Jingtian’s half-court.

With the “Power Surge” boosting his speed, only Jingtian’s star player Han Feng barely managed to keep pace.

Approaching the basket, Geng Haoshi leapt with the ball.

Han Feng jumped after him.

Since Han Feng was a full head taller than Geng Haoshi and had significantly longer arms, his hand was already pressing down on the ball from above.

Geng Haoshi, cradling the ball in his right hand, clearly felt Han Feng’s pressure.

Geng Haoshi 5.0: Not good, the ball’s about to be knocked away! Activate “Unstoppable Force” dunk reward!

Seeing the ball nearly pried from his right hand, Geng Haoshi immediately triggered the “Unstoppable Force” dunk reward.

Once used, this reward guarantees a successful dunk whenever the user is within 3 meters of the opponent’s hoop.

The moment the “Unstoppable Force” dunk reward activated, Geng Haoshi’s left hand automatically reached for the ball on his right hand, his body arching backward.

“Bang!”

At that instant, his left and right hands firmly gripped the basketball.

Han Feng’s hand continued to press hard on the ball from above.

It seemed the ball was about to be pushed down by Han Feng.

Damn! Didn’t they say this dunk is guaranteed? Is it not working this time?

Just as Geng Haoshi wondered this, a tremendous surge of energy flooded into his hands!

Driven by this immense power, Geng Haoshi clutched the ball tightly with both hands and slammed it fiercely toward the hoop!

How could this be?! To his astonishment, Han Feng’s hand pressing on the ball was forcefully pushed away.

“Boom!”

Geng Haoshi’s hands thunderously slammed down on the rim.

“Ah—Geng Haoshi!” “Geng Haoshi—so handsome!”...

Once again, the 520 “Red Rose Admirers” female fans ignited the atmosphere in the arena.

“Xiao Er, you really got it! I didn’t expect you to have the strength to dunk!” Zhu Di excitedly ran over to Geng Haoshi’s side.

Geng Haoshi didn’t respond but silently reminded himself: We’re ahead of Jingtian University by four points; we still need to extend the lead by at least two more points.

According to the rules for the final stage of the National Collegiate Basketball League, the final rankings of the top ten teams will be determined by the net point difference across nine final matches.

Currently, Jingtian University’s net difference is 166, and Tiancheng Polytechnic’s is 161.

Therefore, Tiancheng Polytechnic must not only defeat Jingtian University in this final match but also win by more than five points to claim the championship.

Now, Tiancheng Polytechnic leads by four points, with less than one minute remaining in the game...
