The stunned people weren't just Cai Zhong's coach, but also Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda lying on the ground, and Cai Qing in the distance.
"Unbelievable! Could Kang Lin be a martial artist at the Innate Realm?" Cai Qing muttered to himself.
Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda were also stunned. Yes, they had misjudged her; they hadn't expected Kang Lin to be at the Innate Realm of True Qi Separation.
At that moment, the Refining Fire that Kang Lin had thrown caught up with Coach Cai Zhong, who was flying backward.
Boom… After the fire ignited, Coach Cai Zhong lay on the ground, his body blackened and barely alive.
Seeing this, Principal Wang directly addressed Cai Zhong's representative, "Who admits defeat? Do you know?"
Before the representative could answer,
Principal Wang started shouting, "Quick, quick, take Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda to the hospital!"
"No need," Kang Lin stopped Principal Wang, saying, "The hospital can't treat them."
"Then what do we do?" Principal Wang asked anxiously.
"I'll do it!"
Kang Lin said.
After saying that, Kang Lin directly threw the "Red Heart Spell" at Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda.
Instantly, two white clouds appeared.
Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda's injuries were completely healed in an instant, and they both got up.
"Thank you so much, young friend Kang," the giant panda said respectfully to Kang Lin.
Teacher Wang Hong was less reserved, after all, she was familiar with him!
She also directly thanked him.
Seeing that Teacher Wang Hong and the giant panda were unharmed, Principal Wang was relieved.
At this moment, Kang Lin walked over and said, "You don't have much time left. If you don't admit defeat, your coach might die."
"If you admit defeat, I'll save your coach; otherwise, prepare to carry him back!"
"You, you're going too far!" Cai Zhong's representative pointed at Kang Lin and said.
"Oh!"
"I've gone too far! What are you going to do now?"
"If you keep this up, I'll call the police. It's a fight to the death!"
Cai Zhong's representative said angrily.
"Oh!"
"I agree the fish will die, but the net won't break."
Kang Lin said slowly.
"Yes, the fish will die, but the net won't break," Teacher Wang Hong added, walking over at this moment.
"If your coach were an ordinary person, the police would handle it. But your coach isn't an ordinary person; he's a martial artist who acquired his skills later in life. Legally, it's clearly stated that an acquired martial artist challenging an innate martial artist deserves to die."
"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own abilities?
You dare to challenge an innate martial artist? Don't you think you deserve to die?"
At this moment, the giant panda also chimed in, "Time's running out. Are you planning to carry him back?
Or are you going to admit defeat?" At this moment, Cai Zhong's representative glanced at the barely functioning Coach Cai Zhong and, in the end, could only swallow his pride and sign the surrender document—no, it should be said, admit defeat.
The audience was completely dumbfounded!
Where's the Hollywood basketball blockbuster we were promised?
Where is it?!
They seem to be discussing something.
The room was filled with murmurs of discussion, all wondering why the game had stopped.
Meanwhile, the host on the podium, Yang Wanjuan, was incredibly embarrassed.
This was the first time she'd ever commentated on such a bizarre game!
Now she was practically selling sweet potatoes on the podium—it was so awkward!
At that moment, Yang Wanjuan's only thought was, if she had the chance, she would strangle Kang Lin!
It was all because of this mess! What a disaster she'd ruined a perfectly good basketball game!
And most importantly, her reputation as the "King of Voice," the top host, was about to be tarnished!
Thankfully, a short while later, a student council member handed Yang Wanjuan a note.
Yang Wanjuan took the note and was completely dumbfounded.
Is...it over already?
After only a moment of stunned silence, Yang Wanjuan reacted.
Then, Yang Wanjuan's sweet voice rang out again from the stage.
"After the competition, our Wang Zhong team has emerged victorious!" The host, Yang Wanjuan, announced the result directly.
Instantly, all the students below were stunned.
How could they have won so inexplicably?
The most vehement reaction came from Cai Zhong's 200 supporters and friends.
Their team was clearly leading, so how did they lose?
Is there some kind of shady deal?!
Immediately, Cai Zhong's 200 supporters and friends began to protest.
At this moment, Principal Wang said to the Cai Zhong representative, "Aren't you going to appease your supporters and friends?" However, Cai Zhong's representative clearly didn't look at Kang Lin, instead glancing at her. The meaning was obvious: we've all conceded defeat, shouldn't you help him now?
Seeing the Cai Zhong representative's expression, Kang Lin understood and immediately used a clever trick. Of course, Cai Zhong's coach was seriously injured, and a simple trick wouldn't save him; it only saved his life.
"Alright, he's out of danger, but his injuries are quite severe, he'll probably need several months of rest," Kang Lin said.
After seeing that their coach was out of danger, Cai Zhong's representative rushed to comfort their supporters. "Yes!"
If things escalated, things wouldn't end well today.
At this moment, the voice from the podium rang out again: "Today's basketball friendly match between Wang Zhong and Cai Zhong has successfully concluded. Let's welcome our champion team to the stage to receive their award."
Kang Lin waved her hand, releasing a dispersing formation.
Instantly, the Crane Wing Formation disappeared. "Go and receive your award!"
"I'm not going," Kang Lin said, and left on her own.
"Hey!"
"Don't go!"
"Kang Lin, you're the main player. Is it appropriate for us bystanders to receive the awards?"
Wang Liuhui called out.
Among them, Wang Liuhui was closest to Kang Lin. None of the others dared to speak, but finally, Wang Liuhui spoke up.
"There's no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate. You guys go!"
After saying that, Kang Lin went straight back to the classroom, and Wang Hong followed her.
"Kang Lin, are you alright?"
Wang Hong asked.
"I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"Worried about me?"
Kang Lin asked.
"Who's worried about you? I was just asking."
Wang Hong said.
"How did I do today?"
Kang Lin asked Wang Hong.
"So-so!"
Wang Hong said.
"But your martial arts are really amazing!"
Wang Hong said.
"Yes!"
"Why aren't you surprised that my martial arts are so good?"
Kang Lin asked.
"To tell you the truth, my cousin's martial arts are much better than yours. Compared to him, your skills are just amateurish," Wang Hong said proudly.
"And my grandpa..." Wang Hong suddenly stopped herself from saying what she had almost said.
"Your grandpa?"
"What's wrong?"
Kang Lin asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing," Wang Hong said.
"How about I treat you to dinner?"
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Kang Lin asked.
"That's not a good idea!"
"Class is about to start," Wang Hong said.
"It's okay, your grades are so good, skipping one class won't hurt!"
Kang Lin said.
"No, I have to study hard," Wang Hong said.
"Okay!"
"Okay!" "Then let's go back to class!"
Kang Lin said.
