Chapter 111 – Is Lin Baici the character who ran out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?


The autumn wind blew with a hint of coolness.

On the basketball court, Lin Baici and number 24 were playing one-on-one.

Feng Qin stared at Lin Baici, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Basketball is a sport that heavily relies on physicality. If you’re short, forget about dunking, even grabbing a rebound is difficult.

Feng Qin, who was 1.91 meters tall, usually didn’t need much technique to play basketball. He relied on his body to dominate many people. But today, he encountered an opponent who was equally matched.

In a close confrontation, Feng Qin looked at Lin Baici’s muscles and calculated his arm span and stride frequency, feeling frustrated.

Strong! Full of pressure!

Is this how others feel when they defend against me?

“When are you planning to stop dribbling? Can’t you attack?”

Feng Qin trash-talked, provoking Lin Baici.

Lin Baici’s face darkened. Indeed, he couldn’t win without attacking. A three-point shot from a distance? He didn’t have the confidence for that. Just as he was thinking about how to lay up, Feng Qin suddenly reached out his hand and quickly poked the basketball.

At that moment, this number 24’s hand was like a predatory snake.

Steady! Accurate! Fast!

Snap!

The basketball was poked out.

“Haha, it’s mine!”

Feng Qin laughed loudly. In the instant he poked the basketball, relying on years of experience, he judged the landing point of the basketball and immediately accelerated to chase after it.

He had already planned to immediately launch a fast break and rush to the basket for a tomahawk dunk, showing off and letting Xiaohuya see that he was the best.

But just as Feng Qin’s hand touched the basketball, it seemed like a gust of wind passed by his side.

Whoosh!

A figure reached out and hit the basketball first, then followed with three steps to catch up and hold the ball.

“What’s going on?”

Feng Qin was stunned, staring at that boy.

He’s even faster than me?

Is that even possible?

Xiaohuya, who was on the side, looked astonished.

She was a basketball fan and often watched Feng Qin play. So she knew how monstrous his body was, dominating among his peers.

But just now, even when he sprinted at full speed and started ahead, he was actually caught up by that boy?

Damn!

Xiaohuya couldn’t help but look at Lin Baici’s legs. It was a pity that he was wearing jeans, so she couldn’t see his muscles.

Lin Baici grabbed the ball and took advantage of number 24’s daze to dribble towards the basket.

Feng Qin started chasing after him.

Lin Baici took three steps and went for a layup, shaking his right hand.

Snap!

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.

Feng Qin, who followed, smiled and caught the ball, then immediately jumped up for a powerful dunk.

Bang!

A loud sound spread throughout the basketball court, and everyone playing basketball turned their heads towards the sound.

After dunking, number 24 didn’t immediately come down. Instead, he hung from the basketball hoop with one hand, looking down at Lin Baici with a proud and domineering expression.

“Feng Qin, stop playing!”

Xiaohuya realized that the boy wasn’t even a “basketball enthusiast,” just occasionally playing at an amateur level.

It was too unfair for Feng Qin to play one-on-one with him.

“I’ll listen to you!”

Feng Qin let go and landed, shrugging his shoulders.

“Let’s go again!”

Lin Baici picked up the ball and threw it to Feng Qin, it was his turn to attack.

“Hehe, are you sure about this?”

Feng Qin dunked once and was already satisfied.

Lin Baici waved his hand, signaling for number 24 to start quickly.

“Alright, as you wish!”

Feng Qin started from the midline, dribbled twice, then suddenly leaned forward and took a step as if he was going to break through from Lin Baici’s left side, but then stopped.

Lin Baici’s center of gravity was deceived. Just as he was about to defend again, number 24 had already broken through from the other side.

“Goodbye!”

Feng Qin sprinted forward with a few big steps, crossing the free-throw line, then leaped into the air, ready to dunk again.

But in the next moment, a figure caught up, raised his long arm, and slapped the basketball.

Snap!

The basketball was slapped away.

Feng Qin landed and couldn’t help but rub his wrist. The block from earlier had made his wrist hurt.

“Is this guy a monster?”

Number 24 stared at Lin Baici.

He knew how fast his sprint speed was and how strong his jumping ability was, but this guy actually caught up to him and when he blocked, the opponent was at least a head taller than him.

This is ridiculous!

Feng Qin picked up the ball and continued.

It had to be said that his skills were very good. With a behind-the-back dribble, he once again deceived Lin Baici’s center of gravity and successfully broke through.

But the result was the same as before. Just before Feng Qin dunked, he was once again caught up by Lin Baici and the ball was slapped away.

Snap!

Lin Baici landed and rushed out like a cheetah, grabbing the basketball and making a turn, charging towards the basket.

Feng Qin positioned himself, crouching down and spreading his arms.

Because of his arm span, his defensive area was very large.

In fact, he felt that he was being too cautious. With the opponent’s shooting skills, a slight disturbance would prevent him from scoring. But in the next moment, he realized that the opponent didn’t continue to break through, but instead leaped into the air.

Whoosh!

Lin Baici’s clothes rustled in the wind. He looked like a fighter jet flying over Feng Qin’s head, and then he smashed down on the basketball hoop.

Bang!

A thunderous sound.

Creak! Creak!

The basketball hoop shook and made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

This caused not only the people in the basketball area, but also those on the playground, to look up and watch.

“Damn, that’s too brutal!”

“If this was a glass backboard, it would definitely be shattered, right?”

“What did he eat to grow such a body?”

Everyone discussed and gathered around.

Among college students, there were also a few who could dunk, so it wasn’t rare. But what Lin Baici did just now, shaking the entire backboard, was somewhat terrifying.

“It’s your turn!”

Lin Baici rubbed his fingers. He made the shot earlier, but his fingers hit the rim and it hurt a bit.

Feng Qin’s face looked somewhat ugly. He was a small celebrity on the basketball court, but he was completely dunked on by the opponent. This was too embarrassing.

He immediately went to pick up the ball, ready to retaliate.

Xiaohuya looked at Lin Baici in shock, witnessing that dunk with her own eyes. Her whole body trembled, not out of fear, but out of excitement.Gu Qingqiu, not far away, immediately took out her phone and started recording.

“Smart!”

Shooting requires technique, but dunking doesn’t. As long as the body is strong enough to perform the action, dunking is as easy as smashing an egg.

Feng Qin wanted to embarrass Lin Baici, so this time he didn’t choose to break through, but played with his back facing Lin Baici, intending to overpower him.

In the past, when he was unhappy on the court, he used this move. With his height and strength, he could easily knock down his opponents. But today, he was defeated.

Every time Feng Qin bumped into him, it felt like hitting a copper wall and an iron wall. The opponent didn’t move at all.

Not figuratively, but literally didn’t move.

“What the hell, there’s someone that Feng Qin can’t knock down?”

“That number 24 looks taller and stronger. Why isn’t there another powerful person?”

“Is it because of the difference in body fat percentage?”

More and more people gathered to watch. The students on the playground saw a crowd gathering here and came over to join in the excitement. Soon, quite a few people surrounded them.

“Is that it?”

Lin Baici taunted, provoking Feng Qin.

He admitted that his skills were not good, so he had to use some psychological warfare. This was common on the court. Not to mention being sprayed by opponents, even the booing of the audience could make a player’s mentality collapse.

“Damn!”

Feng Qin was indeed angry and retaliated by forcefully bumping into him from behind.

Lin Baici was waiting for this. He immediately exerted force with his feet and pushed his chest forward.

Bang!

With a body strengthened by meteorites and divine remains, even heavyweight boxers couldn’t withstand it, let alone someone like Feng Qin. He was directly thrown off balance.

Smack!

Lin Baici’s hand moved quickly and poked the basketball, knocking it away. Then he rushed out, grabbed it with one hand, and continued towards the basketball hoop without stopping.

Feng Qin started to chase, but he saw that the opponent was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was already under the basket.

Crash!

Another powerful dunk!

Creak! Creak!

Lin Baici grabbed the basketball hoop and swayed with the basketball hoop, making his figure appear even more slender.

The basketball court fell silent, followed by cheers and applause.

“Beautiful!”

“One more!”

“Handsome guy, dunk again!”

Many people took out their phones, obviously wanting to take pictures.

“Feng Qin, stop!”

Xiao Huya persuaded. Why are there more black people playing basketball? Because they rely heavily on their bodies.

Feng Qin could bully others usually, but today he encountered an opponent whose skills were not good, but whose body was outstanding.

Strength, flexibility, and nerve reactions…

Feng Qin couldn’t compare.

“Come on!”

Feng Qin’s face turned pale.

“I think it’s better to give up!”

Lin Baici was just angry that Feng Qin was causing trouble. He had already dunked twice to vent his anger, so it was better to stop. Otherwise, if the other party was watched by so many people and lost, it would be embarrassing.

“Come on!”

Feng Qin roared and went to the center line with the ball.

Lin Baici glanced at Xiao Huya, shrugged, and followed.

Feng Qin didn’t believe in superstition, and wherever he suffered a loss, he would try to make a comeback. So he continued to play with his back facing Lin Baici, each time with a fierce impact driven by a retaliatory mentality.

If it were an ordinary student, they would definitely feel uncomfortable being bumped into, but Lin Baici remained indifferent.

In the eyes of others, Feng Qin at this moment was like a child trying to push down a giant, ridiculous and laughable.

Lin Baici seized the opportunity and bumped back. Number 24 lost his balance, and the ball was poked away. However, this time, he didn’t give up but immediately accelerated to snatch it. But in the next instant, a figure rushed out from the right side.

Smack!

Lin Baici got the ball and launched a fast break.

“Damn!”

Seeing that Lin Baici was about to dunk again, Feng Qin instinctively reached out to grab his clothes and commit a foul.

But he grabbed the clothes, and the person was gone.

Feng Qin felt a great force coming at him, causing him to stagger forward several steps, almost falling down.

Bang!

A loud dunk sound swept through the basketball court once again.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Applause immediately followed, along with the sound of clicking cameras.

“Handsome!”

Gu Qingqiu looked at her own snapshots and was very satisfied.

Xiao Huya covered her face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Committing a foul meant losing face, and the key was that the foul didn’t stop the opponent.

“Are you still coming?”

Lin Baici passed the ball to number 24.

“Continue!”

Number 24 caught the ball and passed it back to Lin Baici. I don’t believe it. I must give you a big block today.

He stood at the free-throw line, staring at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici dribbled the ball and suddenly accelerated.

“Come on!”

Feng Qin clenched his fists, but the next second, his expression froze.

Because the opponent didn’t break through, but jumped when he reached the three-point line.

“Wow!”

The whole court was in an uproar.

What is he going to do?

A sprint dunk from the three-point line?

Feng Qin watched as Lin Baici flew over his head, unable to stop him.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Baici was like an eagle soaring on the basketball court. His right hand held the basketball, pulled it behind him, and his figure resembled a bow. After flying to the basketball hoop, he dunked with his right hand.

Battle Axe Dunk!

Bang!

A loud sound, like the roar of a heavy cannon.

Creak! Creak!

The basketball hoop shook violently, as if it was about to fall. The people nearby were scared and quickly dodged to the side.

Lin Baici held onto the rim, shook it twice, let go, and landed on the ground. After glancing at Feng Qin, who was still standing in place, he turned and left.

This number 24 had no fighting spirit left.

The crowd naturally made way for Lin Baici to pass.

“What’s your name?”

Xiao Huya shouted.

Lin Baici didn’t look back or answer, he just waved his hand.

Click! Click!

Xiao Huya took a picture of Lin Baici’s back.

“What does this mean? Are they fighting over a woman?”

“Damn, this Battle Axe Dunk in the first half was too ruthless! Number 24 probably doesn’t want to play basketball for the rest of his life!”

“Is that guy a professional basketball player?”

People were discussing, amazed by the dunk of that guy. His posture was elegant, his movements were beautiful, and his explosive power was a visual enjoyment.

It’s so cool!Among the onlookers, a few girls dressed in yoga pants were taken aback by the impact of Lin Baici’s physique.

They were flustered!

Gu Qingqiu watched the video she had taken, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

After Lin Baici left, the crowd dispersed, but the topic of their conversation still revolved around him.

“Did Lin Baici just step out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?”

Ji Xinyan was shocked. Could a man really be this formidable?

Would his future girlfriend die in bed?

“He’s too beastly, even more so than the donkey at my house!”

Pei Fei, who had been invited by Ji Xinyan to jog, didn’t expect to witness such a scene.

“Is your donkey as handsome as Lin Baici?”

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes.

Pei Fei thought for a moment. Not only was her donkey not as handsome as Lin Baici, it might not even be as big as him.

……

In Seoul, Cheongdam-dong, Jin Yingzhen’s private villa.

After finishing her yoga and taking a bath, Jin Yingzhen was getting ready to go shopping when she received a call from her brother, Jin Xian.

“There’s a God’s Ruins in Haijing, Jiuzhou that has been broken into. Isn’t your friend a god hunter and also in Haijing? Ask him if he knows anyone in the circle who has information about this God’s Ruins. I’m willing to pay a high price for it!” Jin Xian instructed.

“Is it important?”

Jin Yingzhen sat up straight.

“Yes, it’s said that this God’s Ruins is a tomb palace type, similar to the Qin Palace God’s Ruins in Jiuzhou. We might be able to get some useful information for exploring the Qin Palace God’s Ruins through it!” Jin Xian explained.

“You’re going to explore the Qin Palace God’s Ruins?”

Jin Yingzhen was shocked. Because of Lin Baici, she had been paying close attention to the hunter circle recently. As the hottest topic, the Qin Palace God’s Ruins was naturally something she knew was extremely dangerous, with a dragon-level entry being a matter of life and death.

“We have such a plan!”

Jin Xian didn’t hide it: “The ‘Yellow Stone’ from the Lighthouse Country has sent us an invitation to explore the Qin Palace God’s Ruins together.”

“I see.”

Jin Yingzhen knew that ‘Yellow Stone’ was an organization composed of god hunters, with great influence in the Lighthouse Country.

“Alright, as soon as possible!”

After discussing the main issue, Jin Xian remembered Jin Yingzhen’s small request: “Are you sure you want to become a god hunter?”

“Yes!”

Jin Yingzhen wanted to stand by Lin Baici’s side, and there was no chance of that happening if she remained an ordinary person.

“Alright, I’ll prepare a divine grace for you as soon as possible!”

The two chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

“The God’s Ruins in Haijing?”

Jin Yingzhen suddenly remembered that Lin Baici’s phone had been unreachable a few days ago. Could he be in the God’s Ruins?

If that was true, running into two God’s Ruins in a row would be really unlucky, wouldn’t it?

Jin Yingzhen checked the time and decided not to call Lin Baici immediately. She would wait until the evening, and then send him a few beautiful selfies.

……

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Baici received a call from the JD courier. The package had arrived and he was asked to pick it up at the back door.

Haijing University of Technology did not allow deliveries, takeaways, or shared bicycles on campus.

Lin Baici went downstairs.

At the school gate, seven or eight delivery trucks were parked, each with a pile of boxes spread out in front. Many students were waiting to pick up their packages.

Lin Baici noticed that most of them were girls.

It seemed that women were always the main force in shopping.

“Lin Baici!”

A sudden greeting made Lin Baici turn his head.

It was that wild cherry.

“What a coincidence, you’re picking up a package too!”

Ji Xinyan walked over.

“Yes!”

Lin Baici nodded. There was a boy next to Ji Xinyan, the one who had coffee with her that day.

“How do you know him?”

Huang Tao’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a lot of pressure.

This boy was someone he could never forget, because a Korean girl had given him a Mercedes-Benz AMG, his dream car.

“Why do you care how I know him?”

Ji Xinyan was annoyed.

Huang Tao had asked her out to give her a gift. Ji Xinyan said she was busy, but when she came down to pick up the package, she didn’t expect to be cornered.

Then Huang Tao shamelessly followed her all the way.

“No, I’m just worried that you might be deceived.”

Huang Tao was anxious, afraid that Ji Xinyan might misunderstand.

Lin Baici immediately looked at the boy. What did he mean?

But before Lin Baici could question him, Ji Xinyan had already started arguing.

“How can you talk like that? He’s my classmate. Don’t you have any manners?”

Ji Xinyan frowned.

“I’m… I’m sorry!”

Huang Tao apologized to Lin Baici, but it was clear that he wasn’t sincere.

Lin Baici, considering the face of his classmate, decided not to argue.

Soon, it was his turn to pick up the package. Then he was dumbfounded. There were quite a few items, and the key point was that they were fragile.

“Baici, what did you buy? So many packages?”

Ji Xinyan walked over with a box, and seeing that Lin Baici had a lot of items, she immediately picked up two to help: “Let me help you carry them!”

“No need.”

Lin Baici didn’t want to trouble others.
