Chapter 265: Who Is Xu Jingming

On the bustling street, the Baishan team moved with a slightly tense atmosphere.

Anyone with eyes could see that Captain Ji Hui was truly angry this time.

As a result, all team members dared not even breathe loudly.

Only Ke Liang, who had slightly recovered under the healing of a support-type ability user, couldn't help speaking up:

"Captain, are we just letting this go?"

"What else do you want to do? You want to fight the Magu guys again? Can you even beat them?"

Captain Ji Hui said coldly.

Baishan Ability University wasn't a top-tier school; last year, it ranked only 54th in the national university league.

This year, under his leadership, they broke through the pack and entered the top 10, earning qualification for the second stage of the league.

Against other ordinary top-10 universities, they might have had a chance.

But compared to Magu Ability University, a top-tier institution, they were unquestionably the weakest of the weak.

"If we can't beat them, let's report Xu Jingming for cheating and disqualify him!"

Vice-captain Ke Liang still couldn't swallow this humiliation.

"Are you trying to make us look even more foolish today?"

Captain Ji Hui nearly laughed in anger, "Do you not know what started this?

If we take this to the Education Bureau, Baishan Ability University as a whole will become a laughingstock!

Besides, can you really cancel Xu Jingming's participation over something this minor?

Are you dreaming?"

"Uh... yeah, it really isn't enough to bring him down."

After thinking it over, Ke Liang muttered sheepishly.

"Good, you've got some sense left."

Ji Hui's expression softened slightly, then he rubbed his temples in frustration:

"Besides, this isn't over—Xu Jingming won't let us off so easily."

He might've thrown threats around just now, but that was only to preserve Baishan Ability University's face.

In reality, he knew just how terrifying top-tier universities could be.

"Damn it! I just talked big, and I got beaten up this badly—now Xu Jingming won't let us go?"

Ke Liang panicked instantly.

Even his injuries alone might keep him off the field for the next few days.

If Xu Jingming kept retaliating, how were they supposed to play?

"Now you're scared? Where was your courage earlier?"

Ji Hui snorted, then mused, "Private retaliation is unlikely.

But don't forget—we still have a team match against Magu.

Do you think he'll hold back then?"

In the national university league's team event, each university must face the other nine.

That means the Baishan team will inevitably face Magu.

"Holy shit! Right!"

"We're screwed—this is going to be brutal."

"Damn it, Ke Liang, you're dragging us all down!"

"..."

Although the Baishan team had made it into the top 10 out of thousands of ability universities nationwide,

that didn't mean they could grow arrogant and think they could stand shoulder to shoulder with Magu—in fact,

they knew full well that a top-tier university's roster could easily crush them.

So when Captain Ji Hui laid it out like this, the rest of the team froze in shock.

Xu Jingming was the captain of the Magu team—and now they'd provoked him.

When the match came, they'd be in for a world of pain.

"Wang Ming, you're Ke Liang's substitute.

If we have a match tomorrow and he can't play, you step in."

No sooner had Captain Ji Hui spoken than a wail rose from the crowd:

"Captain, please don't..."

On the other side, Xu Jingming and his group waited at the high-speed rail station for over ten minutes.

Finally, another high-speed train originating from Magu arrived at Qingxu City High-Speed Rail Station.

Xu Jingming's girlfriend must be on this train.

Watching the crowded stream of passengers disembark, Tang Qi's beautiful eyes shimmered with curiosity.

She wondered what kind of person could be the girlfriend of a prodigy like her cousin.

"Zhou Mingyang, have you ever seen Xu Jingming's girlfriend?"

Petite Meng Di nudged Zhou Mingyang beside her and whispered.

"How would I have seen her?"

Zhou Mingyang rolled his eyes, then whispered back:

"But I bet she's a tall, gorgeous beauty."

"Just say 'gorgeous beauty'—why add 'tall legs'?" Meng Di snapped.

Being petite, she was born without the long legs everyone envied.

Given Xu Jingming's handsome looks and formidable strength, Tang Qi and the others had already guessed his girlfriend must be extraordinary.

But when Song Qiuyun, with her fair skin and beautiful face, appeared before them, they couldn't help being stunned.

What a stunning girl!

"Let me introduce you—this is my girlfriend, Song Qiuyun; the other is her roommate Qi Dongxia."

Xu Jingming smiled, "Qiuyun, this is my cousin Tang Qi.

And these are my friends from Jiangcheng: Zhou Mingyang and Meng Di."

Although they'd known yesterday they'd meet Xu Jingming's family and friends today,

even the usually confident Song Qiuyun felt a little nervous as she greeted them:

"Cousin, hello."

"Hello, hello! I've heard so much about you from Jingming—now that I've met you, you're as beautiful as you are graceful."

Tang Qi, having recovered from her awe at Song Qiuyun's beauty, smiled warmly.

"See? I told you she'd be a tall, gorgeous beauty—you didn't believe me."

Zhou Mingyang nudged Meng Di triumphantly, whispering.

This made her pout in annoyance.

What's with guys and their obsession with long legs?

"You're too kind, Cousin."

Seeing Tang Qi seemed easygoing, Song Qiuyun relaxed slightly.

Then, with a faint flash from her space ring, three delicate wooden boxes appeared on her pale right hand, offered forward:

"Inside are B-grade cultivation resources—not very valuable, but they should help you. Please accept them."

Tang Qi, Zhou Mingyang, and Meng Di froze at the words.

Tang Qi, Zhou Mingyang, and Meng Di all froze in surprise upon hearing this.

A B-grade cultivation resource, and she calls it "not very valuable"?

Outside, that would cost at least five to six million!

Before they could recover, Song Qiuyun slipped one box into each of their hands.

"Alright, everyone's here—let's head back to the hotel and drop off our things.

Cousin Tang, where's your hotel? I'll drop you off first."

Xu Jingming asked Tang Qi.

"Just a short distance from the station—about one kilometer."

Seeing Song Qiuyun's firm attitude, Tang Qi reluctantly accepted the boxes and replied.

"Near the high-speed rail station? That's pretty far from the stadium."

Xu Jingming frowned.

The national university league was being held at the city's central stadium.

Even for a first-rank ability user, walking from the station would take at least ten minutes.

"There's no choice—the league's too popular; all hotels near the stadium were booked long ago," Tang Qi said helplessly.

Hotels near the stadium cost at least four thousand per night.

Who comes to watch the matches if not the wealthy?

So those hotels were snapped up long ago.

The ones near the station? She barely managed to grab them.

The hotel near the high-speed rail station was one she had barely managed to book.

The high-speed rail station is too far away; I have several villas near the sports stadium.

If you don't mind, Miss Qi, you and the others can stay there during this time—it'll be more convenient to get to the stadium for the matches.

At that moment, Song Qiuyun blinked her eyes and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyang and the others, including Tang Qi, exchanged glances, all momentarily stunned.

Qingxu City, near the fifth demon cave, is no ordinary city—each villa there costs at least hundreds of millions of Daxia coins!

Even with money, you might still not be able to buy one—you need connections!

Yet Song Qiuyun not only had them, but seemed to own several!

This made Zhou Mingyang silently marvel and wonder:

【Just who is Ming's girlfriend? She feels like she comes from a very powerful background...】
