Chapter 30: Strengthen Our Second Middle, One Battle to Ascend to Godhood!

Cheers erupted at the venue.

Everyone thought Second Middle was done for; some had already left the gymnasium.

But Li Qingran's appearance injected suspense back into this invitational match.

First he defeated Lin Yunhui in a single break, then Qiu Ya.

Decisive, powerful shots, every trick in the book, not a single mistake — this level is absolutely professional player tier.

"When did our Second Middle get a player this insane? Which class?"

"So handsome, that break was so strong I'm wet just watching! I mean my eyes are wet with tears, moved, don't get the wrong idea!"

"Look, that Han Country coach's face has turned green! Hahaha!"

"..."

Li Qingran instantly became the sole focus of the entire arena; all eyes were on him.

Qiu Ya wore an expression of utter disbelief.

A one-break clearance is an extremely rare occurrence in Spirit Control Billiards.

Yet today, it happened twice, and by the same person.

Since rising to fame, across over a dozen international invitationals, this was the first time Qiu Ya had been run out in a single break, without any chance to counter.

The best friend sitting next to Wangchuan Qiqqi couldn't help crying out: "Two one-break clearances! Qiqqi, you still said he was no good — this isn't 'the whip is too short to reach' at all!"

Wangchuan Qiqqi stared blankly at that handsome figure; all the noisy cheers around her seemed automatically muted.

"Besides exorcising ghosts, his Spirit Control Billiards is also good, so good!"

The female homeroom teacher's expression was complex.

Li Qingran once again decisively defeated the Han Country player, proving his Spirit Control Billiards level was indeed very high.

The homeroom teacher's heart was very conflicted right now.

She very much hoped Second Middle could win this invitational.

But earlier, she said if Li Qingran won, she'd strip-dance along with the Han Country girl.

It was just a joke; how could she actually strip-dance? She was just afraid Li Qingran would hold her to it and not let go.

Coach Chu Feng looked at Li Qingran with approval, suddenly feeling that everything Li Qingran had said earlier sounded so pleasing, so professional.

Ye Cheng had a premonition Li Qingran was a Spirit Control Billiards expert, but didn't expect him to be this good: "Worthy of the man I, Ye Cheng, want to learn from — simply outstanding."

On the leadership dais, Principal Wang slammed the table and stood: "Brilliant! Brilliant! Three minutes — I want this student's complete file."

Vice Principal Ma said "good" three times in a row: "This student has the bearing of a future Huaxia Spirit Control Billiards champion. Two minutes — I want his complete file."

"Students! His name is Li Qingran, let's cheer for him!"

Soon, someone among the school leaders shouted at the top of their voice.

The entire gymnasium instantly boiled over.

"Li Qingran, go! Strengthen our Second Middle, raise our national prestige!"

"Senior Brother Li Qingran, go! Strengthen our Second Middle, raise our national prestige!"

All students shouted in unison; the atmosphere was unprecedented.

Han Country coach Jeon Ji-qiao's face was grim; this last boy to take the stage carried everyone's hopes — he had to defeat him.

Next up was a girl radiating feminine charm from head to toe; her name was Park Min-eum, Guardian Spirit: Passion Flame Ghost.

Passion Flame Ghost, a special Han Country yaoguai, specifically targets handsome men and virgins; many handsome readers who like novels are precisely the type Passion Flame Ghosts love to violate.

One moment of carelessness causes their yang energy to leak, ****.

Moreover, generally young men targeted by a Passion Flame Ghost will not give up until they take their chastity — a very terrifying yaoguai.

The moment Park Min-eum appeared, she threw a flirtatious glance at Li Qingran: "Oppa, you're so amazing, can you teach me how to play?"

Li Qingran indicated he was offended.

This bewitching art was indeed formidable.

At such a young age, her skill surpassed even Nina's.

But to Li Qingran, this was mere child's play.

Ye Cheng swallowed: "This woman is so slutty, can Brother Ran handle it?"

This round Li Qingran broke; just as he raised his cue, preparing to strike, he suddenly heard a series of extremely seductive humming and moaning sounds.

A sideways glance revealed Park Min-eum lying on the Spirit Control Billiards table watching the balls, inadvertently revealing milk-smooth skin, emitting inexplicable sounds from her mouth.

Nearby spectators were also watching the balls; everyone was a billiards fan.

Coach Chu Feng wiped his saliva, reluctantly saying: "Player Park Min-eum, please don't make weird noises during the match!"

Park Min-eum put on a pitiful look: "Oh, is there such a rule?"

"There isn't."

"Too small." Li Qingran withdrew his attention, eyes as if containing only the Spirit Control balls.

One stroke struck out; the beautiful sound of impact rang out again and again — a one-break clearance!

"Wow, another one-break clearance!"

"Holding a beauty in his lap without losing composure!"

TripleKill!

Li Qingran was very calm.

Amid everyone's cheers, he continued his solo show.

Next, the player sent out by Han Country's Busan International Girls' High was Park Min-eum's twin younger sister.

The older sister couldn't do it; the younger sister, without a doubt.

QuadraKill!

Quadra Kill!

After one game, the score finally overtook and became 9:8.

The final game, no suspense.

Pentakill!

In this invitational tournament, Han Country's strongest five all submitted under Li Qingran's cue.

The girls from Busan Girls' High School all had very ugly expressions.

Clearly victory was in sight, but a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and with one person's power consecutively killed five.

His technique was perfected, various methods emerging endlessly, dazzling people.

Today, he was the undisputed Ball God, ruling over all balls on the scene.

Wangchuan Qiq's eyes shone, she murmured: "Even if his guardian spirit is only F-rank, he can still charm the lovesick girls of Second High to death."

She still had a sentence in her heart unsaid, which included herself.

The best friend didn't speak, but her gaze kept focusing on that handsome figure.

Indeed, as Wangchuan Qiq said.

After today, Second High will have Li Qingran's little fangirls everywhere.

The female homeroom teacher smiled bitterly: "With such strong spirit control billiards technique, why would you still go through the back door? Every school would hate to not recruit you as a specialty student."

Ye Cheng stared dumbfounded, then laughed heartily, her heart more determined to persistently cling to Li Qingran: "Looks like besides exorcising ghosts, I have another thing to learn from him!"

Han Country coach Quan Zhiqiao smiled desolately, her whole person powerlessly slumped in the chair: "It's over!"

After this invitational tournament, Busan International Girls' High School will become a laughingstock in Han Country.

But Quan Zhiqiao was also helpless, she knew her students had all done their best.

Can't blame them, the opponent was just too strong.

According to Quan Zhiqiao's judgment, Li Qingran's spirit control billiards level had probably already reached international professional player level.

Those few Han Country girls defeated by Li Qingran looked at each other, all seeing the loss and frustration in each other's eyes.

Those two guardian spirits were the twin girls of Qing Yan Gui, staring at Li Qingran for a long time, with fanaticism in their eyes, unknown what they were thinking.

Li Qingran put down the cue, strode away.

Deeply hiding merit and fame.

The cheers in the gymnasium lasted for a long time without ceasing.

Principal Wang beamed: "Didn't expect our Second High to have such an excellent transfer student! Such a good student, you must certainly satisfy his needs well."

Li Qingran's god-sealing battle today established Black Sea City's Spirit Control Second High's status among domestic high schools, and even in Han Country.

In the following several years, many spirit control billiards players, whenever mentioning Li Qingran's name, all wore respect, recounting that day's invincible bearing of consecutively defeating Han Country's Five Generals!
