Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Quan Zhisui's power was so great that the entire basketball hoop shook.

*Thud!*

Lu Qin landed first, her feet hitting the ground as she looked up in utter shock at Quan Zhisui descending.

How high had she jumped?!

The time gap was mere moments.

Yet, in that brief moment, Quan Zhisui still found time to glance at Lu Qin. Her lips were slightly pursed, expressionless, but her eyes were sharp as an eagle's!

It wasn't just Wei Shixu, the top student in their grade, who had an intense competitive spirit. At this moment, Quan Zhisui's desire to win had reached its peak!

She wouldn't let you win.

While Lu Qin was still stunned, the game continued.

At this moment, Lu Qin deeply regretted suggesting a three-on-three half-court game with a shared hoop!

She should have proposed a full-court five-on-five from the start!

And emphasized the rules!

That way, Quan Zhisui wouldn't have been able to pull off such an astonishing move...

Lu Qin had originally intended to show off her skills, but instead, she ended up showcasing Quan Zhisui's prowess.

How humiliating!

Suppressing the storm of emotions in her heart, Lu Qin began searching for the ball.

Kong Mingze had already grabbed the ball, but unfortunately, it was snatched away by one of Lu Qin's teammates midway.

As for Wei Shixu...

Well, he wasn't even paying attention to the ball.

He was watching Quan Zhisui!

On the sidelines, Zhuge Ying had risen from her seat on the bench, laughing unrestrainedly. She pulled out her phone to start recording a video, absolutely thrilled.

To Lu Qin, the laughter sounded especially grating!

In just five minutes, Lu Qin was drenched in sweat.

Quan Zhisui wasn't just capable of slam dunks; she also outclassed Lu Qin in speed, agility, and strength!

Kong Mingze spent the entire game running aimlessly. He loved playing basketball but wasn't skilled enough to steal the ball from his opponents.

In contrast, Quan Zhisui kept snatching the ball right under the hoop!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wei Shixu seemed to have given up entirely. Though he was on the court, he did nothing but watch Quan Zhisui dominate the game with shining eyes.

City team? Provincial team?

Don't make me laugh.

A 22-centimeter Achilles tendon and jumping ability like Quan Zhisui's were world-class!

Not to mention her over a decade of martial arts training, which had honed her physical abilities to their limits!

Her natural talent was undeniable. While her height might not be ideal for basketball, she was undoubtedly a born athlete, and martial arts was the perfect fit for her.

Quan Zhisui was on the right path!

Soon, the game drew a large crowd.

All three sides of the school building were packed with students who hadn't left yet or were returning after dinner for evening self-study. They leaned over the railings on every floor to watch.

Even the other players on the court stopped their games to watch this one!

Time ticked by.

Lu Qin felt utterly tormented and was genuinely riled up. The politeness she had shown at the start of the game was gone. All her earlier comments like "let's not be too strict with the rules" and "you're not professionals anyway" now seemed like jokes!

She tried to find any fouls Quan Zhisui might have committed!

Lu Qin still couldn't wrap her head around it...

How could Quan Zhisui jump so high?!

Lu Qin became intensely vigilant and serious!

Once a professional player gets serious, the others don't stand a chance. With Wei Shixu slacking off and the three boys running around aimlessly, most of the game was a showdown between Lu Qin and Quan Zhisui.

By halftime, Lu Qin's team had only scored single digits, lagging far behind Quan Zhisui's team.

They were utterly defeated!

Quan Zhisui was like a monster, leaving them no room to fight back.

Lu Qin stared at the scoreboard in a daze, unable to believe she had lost!

"Don't ask Kong Mingze to play basketball again. The class monitor doesn't like it," Quan Zhisui said as she passed by Lu Qin, her tone indifferent.

Lu Qin's face instantly turned grim!

For the past two days, Zhuge Ying and the class representative had been furious, and their emotions were affecting their studies. That video was their hard work!

Quan Zhisui didn't go looking for trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either. When the time was right, she would step up.

Today, Wei Shixu's sudden suggestion had provided the perfect opportunity.

It was time to teach them a lesson.

From a distance, Zhuge Ying was practically ecstatic!

She recorded the video while sending it to the student council group chat, all while throwing in some sarcastic remarks.

[Zhuge Ying: Oh wow, your basketball player can't even beat Quan Zhisui!]

[Zhuge ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‍Ying: Tsk tsk, and you guys compete for awards? Can't even beat Quan Zhisui from the regular class!]

[Zhuge Ying: Oh my! Quan Zhisui can dunk, but your Lu Qin failed? Total annihilation!]

She was on a roll!

After the game, Quan Zhisui didn't react much. She packed her bag, ready to head home for a shower and homework. She had worked up quite a sweat during the game and was feeling hot.

But suddenly, Lu Qin shouted, "Let's play a full game! I'm serious now!"

The surroundings fell silent at her words.

Lu Qin stripped off her thick sweater and jacket, standing in a short-sleeved shirt as she challenged Quan Zhisui again, "You're not scared, are you?"

Quan Zhisui looked at her and asked, "Do you still want to play basketball for the rest of your life?"

Lu Qin's expression twisted. "Come on! Just you and me, one-on-one! You dare?"

Wei Shixu chuckled, looking at Quan Zhisui. "You're sweating too. Want to take off your jacket?"

Quan Zhisui glanced at her bag silently, then set it down again and began removing her jacket and sweater to avoid any hindrance.

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers!

This was getting intense!

Soon, the second half began.

Quan Zhisui and Lu Qin walked onto the court.

Lu Qin scrutinized Quan Zhisui's arms, her brows furrowed. She couldn't see how Quan Zhisui had the strength to shake the hoop.

At that moment, Quan Zhisui flexed her fingers, causing her arm muscles to tense and the tendons to stand out.

Lu Qin's mind exploded with a *boom*! She was nearly overwhelmed!

The crowd grew larger, and even some teachers were watching.

The one-on-one challenge had begun!

After a coin toss, Lu Qin gained control of the ball. As soon as she had it, she dribbled quickly toward the hoop!

But suddenly, a hand reached out.

*Slap!*

The ball was snatched away just inches from the ground.

Quan Zhisui's fingers seemed magnetic, grabbing the ball at such a close range and securing it in her hand.

Even with different shoes, Quan Zhisui was still half a head shorter than Lu Qin, a professional basketball player. This height difference was especially noticeable when Quan Zhisui crouched slightly.

Lu Qin was forced to defend. She was already exhausted from the first half, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, looking utterly disheveled.

In contrast, Quan Zhisui remained composed.

Her lips were slightly pursed as she maintained her crouched position, fingers firmly controlling the ball, her gaze focused and intense.

*Thud! Thud!*

The basketball hit the ground with a rhythmic bounce.

Lu Qin instinctively avoided Quan Zhisui's eyes. At this moment, she couldn't even bring herself to meet Quan Zhisui's gaze.

Overcome with frustration, Lu Qin lunged forward, trying to snatch the ball back!

But Quan Zhisui suddenly swung the ball behind her back, sending it in an arc to her other hand.

Thankfully, she had removed her jacket and sweater; otherwise, such a nimble move would have been impossible.

*Thud! Thud!*

The ball continued to bounce in Quan Zhisui's hand.

Lu Qin missed completely, her face a mix of anger and humiliation as she abandoned any attempt at composure.

At that moment, Quan Zhisui suddenly called out to Wei Shixu on the sidelines, "Do you still want to see me dunk?"

Wei Shixu's eyes lit up. "I do."

Quan Zhisui smiled. "Alright."

*Whoosh—*

She vanished from Lu Qin's sight in an instant!

Lu Qin: "!!!"

Quan Zhisui moved at an incredible speed, darting past Lu Qin like a cheetah before charging toward the hoop.

She leaped, stretched out her arm, and slammed the ball through the hoop!

It was a seamless motion!

*Boom!*

The hoop let out a deafening crash as the ball passed through it.

By the time Lu Qin turned around to chase after her, the ball had already fallen through the hoop and was bouncing on the ground.
