The Tongcheng University 2021 Freshman Basketball Tournament is in full swing.
The School of Arts and Philosophy is a small school within Tongcheng University, with a small number of students, mostly female. As a result, its performance in the annual freshman basketball tournament has not been outstanding. Since its establishment, the School of Arts and Philosophy has never ranked in the top five in the freshman basketball tournament!
In fact, for the past two years, it has consistently ranked at the bottom of the twelve secondary colleges in the entire university, ranking among the last three.
However, this year, thanks to the emergence of a center with amazing jumping ability and explosiveness like Zhang Yuan, as well as students with good skills like Xie Feng and Chen Zhen, this year's freshman basketball league unexpectedly fought its way through the competition and made it to the semifinals, becoming a dark horse in this year's freshman basketball tournament!
Two days later, the School of Literature and Philosophy will face another dark horse from Tongcheng University, the School of Arts basketball team!
For Zhang Yuan, the college basketball tournament was just a small episode in his university life; he devoted most of his time to the great cause of cultivating immortality.
On the evening before the semi-finals, while everyone in the college basketball team was training hard, he was practicing alone in the back hills of the school!
The woods halfway up the mountain behind the school are usually quiet, with few people around, and you can hear birds chirping at dusk.
Zhang Yuan performed a set of Vajra Longevity Exercises, then sat cross-legged and once again attacked the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
It has been more than a month since I took the medication to open up the Yaoyangguan and Dazhui acupoints.
During this period, he had tried several times to regulate his internal energy to impact the Baihui acupoint and attempt to break through to the Tongmai realm, but he failed each time, experiencing firsthand the difficulty of cultivating immortality.
But Zhang Yuan did not give up.
He never gave up his pursuit of becoming an immortal.
In the woods, he once again channeled his internal energy, channeling it along the Du meridian to strike the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
Baihui acupoint is an important acupoint in the body. Once opened, it can further increase the efficiency of spiritual energy communication between the body and the external environment, which is an important step to enter the Meridian Opening Realm and become a human immortal.
In his cultivation state, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters Zhang Yuan's body through his skin, Qihai, Huiyin, Yaoyangguan, Dazhui and other acupoints. Under Zhang Yuan's mental guidance, the spiritual energy gathers in the Du meridian, like a flood in a great river, rushing upwards to clear the blockage of Baihui acupoint.
Rumble!
Each time the true energy struck, the Baihui acupoint would tremble slightly. Zhang Yuan tried several times, but still couldn't break through the blocked Baihui acupoint.
Just as Zhang Yuan was struggling to break through the barrier, a series of light footsteps came from the woods not far from where he was meditating, followed by the sound of a man and a woman talking.
"Didn't you call me here because you said it was something very important?"
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!"
The woman's voice said impatiently!
"Yes, there is indeed something very important I want to tell you!"
A deep male voice continued.
There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, but also a touch of excitement.
"Actually, I really like you. Be my girlfriend!"
"That's what the man said."
"Sorry, I don't like you!"
"Let go of my hand, Wang Ba! I've told you, I don't like you at all. Please don't bother me anymore!"
The girl said, her voice filled with exasperation!
There were also sounds of struggling.
Because of his cultivation, Zhang Yuan's five senses were exceptionally sharp, far surpassing those of ordinary people. In addition, the forest was very quiet. At this moment, the man and woman were only separated from Zhang Yuan by a row of reeds and a grove of trees. Zhang Yuan could hear their conversation very clearly.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan found the girl's voice somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"I love you so much, Xue. I can't live without you!"
"What does your survival have to do with me!"
"Let go!"
Let go!
...
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was in a critical period of breaking through the barrier, using all his mind and will to mobilize the massive internal energy to impact the Baihui acupoint. Therefore, he could not be disturbed or have his mind disturbed. Otherwise, if the internal energy went out of control, it would cause great harm to his body, and he might even accidentally go into a state of demonic possession and drive himself crazy.
However, he kept hearing the boy's confession and the girl's struggles and angry curses. Zhang Yuan cursed inwardly!
But at this crucial moment, he couldn't move, and he couldn't afford to be distracted!
Zhang Yuanqi was so angry he felt like his teeth were itching.
Why did you have to confess your feelings so close to me when I was going through a difficult time?
Depend on!
Isn't this disturbing my peace of mind?
Are you trying to stop me from breaking through?!
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was gathering all his internal energy, attempting to strike the Baihui acupoint for the third time. Meanwhile, on the other side of the reeds, the boy suddenly shouted, "What's wrong with me?!"
Girl: "You jerk!"
Two sudden, high-decibel arguments nearly threw Zhang Yuan off balance and caused his inner energy to dissipate!
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan often practiced the art of nourishing the spirit, so his primordial spirit was quite strong. At the critical moment, his primordial spirit controlled the true qi and guided the massive true qi along the meridians of his arms to the Laogong acupoint in his palms!
The Laogong acupoint in the palm of the hand, unable to withstand the sudden surge of immense true energy, burst open with a loud crack.
That's how his internal energy didn't go berserk!
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Zhang Yuan's forehead. He exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes.
I just narrowly escaped death, but although my Baihui acupoint didn't open, I unexpectedly opened the Laogong acupoints in both palms!
On the other side of the reeds, a tall, strong, short-haired boy was firmly gripping the fair wrist of a beautiful long-haired girl, preventing her from leaving!
"Jingxue, I really love you, why won't you accept me?"
"What does your love for me have to do with me? Please don't bother me anymore!"
"We're not a good match!"
...
After standing up, Zhang Yuan looked towards the reed bank, his face cold and his eyes sharp as swords that could wound.
It's interfering with my cultivation, humph!
Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, then slowly walked through the reeds and grove, wanting to see which two scoundrels were making random declarations of love here, affecting his progress.
Passing through the reeds and woods, a tall, strong boy with short hair, golden skin, and somewhat handsome features stood in front of me.
Zhang Yuan still remembers this boy; it was the first day of school, the first freshman from the School of Physical Education who drove himself to register, causing a stir among the girls in the school square.
Opposite the short-haired boy stood a girl with long, flowing hair, a graceful figure, and a black skirt that reached her thighs.
The girl's slender wrist was being held in the short-haired boy's hand.
Zhang Yuan suddenly appeared from behind the reeds, startling the two of them.
With her long hair flowing and a captivating silhouette, the tall girl turned around, and Zhang Yuan saw a familiar, beautiful face—Zeng Jingxue, the school beauty and first-year student who was also studying Yiquan at the Martial Arts Association.
Because of the sudden intrusion of the stranger Zhang Yuan, Wang Ba had no choice but to temporarily release Zeng Jingxue's wrist. His eyes rolled as he glared angrily at Zhang Yuan, seemingly blaming him for ruining his plans.
When Zeng Jingxue saw that the person who came out of the reeds was Zhang Yuan, she was a little embarrassed at first, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of joy, because Wang Ba had already released her wrist.
She took the opportunity to escape and retreat to a distance.
Zhang Yuan was someone she knew, so if Wang Ba wanted to continue his indecent acts against her in the woods, she could ask Zhang Yuan for help.
Wang Ba stared fiercely at Zhang Yuan as he approached, his eyes seeming to want to devour him.
However, Zhang Yuan didn't care about any of that, and he wasn't intimidated at all.
He is no longer the same as before. He can even hold his own against Li Hu, the president of the martial arts association who has practiced Yiquan since childhood and is known as the number one fighter in Tongcheng University. Therefore, he really doesn't take the average boy in the school seriously.
As Zhang Yuan passed by Wang Ba and Zeng Jingxue, he deliberately slowed down and then loudly grunted twice!
Then he said, "Excuse me, please move aside, you're blocking my way!"
These two guys were making random declarations of love in the woods, which almost caused him to suffer a qi deviation when he was trying to break through his Baihui acupoint. It's not unreasonable for him to feel a little disgusted now.
Zhang Yuan thought with a wicked sense of humor.
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to leave, Zeng Jingxue called out, "Zhang Yuan!"
Then she quickly stepped forward and followed closely behind Zhang Yuan, fearing that after Zhang Yuan left, she would be entangled by Wang Ba, that scoundrel.
Because she wasn't familiar with Zhang Yuan, Zeng Jingxue followed him leisurely as they left the woods.
Wang Ba didn't expect Zeng Jingxue to know this boy, so he didn't chase after him. However, he was extremely unhappy that this boy named Zhang Yuan had ruined his confession to Zeng Jingxue.
Seeing that Zeng Jingxue had left, Wang Ba angrily punched a tree.
Suddenly, the leaves rustled.
Zeng Jingxue followed Zhang Yuan like a little shadow as they descended the mountainside. Zhang Yuan didn't say a word to Zeng Jingxue the entire time, maintaining a cold and indifferent attitude.
This made Zeng Xiaohua very uncomfortable.
Boys always fawned over her, trying to please her, but Zhang Yuan just ignored her completely.
The former school beauty was so depressed she was practically suffering internal injuries.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
Zeng Jingxue walked out of the woods behind the mountain, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily.
Zhang Yuan tilted his head, glanced back, and said, "I've already led you out of the woods, so don't follow me anymore!"
"you!"
The school beauty gritted her teeth in anger, then stormed off.
