Chapter 265: Who Is Xu Jingming

On the bustling street, the Bai Shan representative team moved with a solemn air.

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 besides let it go? You want to fight the people from Mo Da? Can you even beat them?"

Captain Ji Hui said coldly.

Bai Shan Ability University is not a particularly good school; last year, its ranking in the national university league was only 54th.

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

If they were facing any other ordinary top-10 university, they might still have a chance.

But compared to a top-tier university like Mo Du Ability University, they were unquestionably weaker than weak.

"If we can't beat them, let's report Xu Jingming for fouling 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 today?"

If we take this matter to the Department of Education, Bai Shan Ability University as a whole will become a laughingstock!"

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

Are you dreaming?"

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

After thinking it over, Ke Liang said sheepishly.

"Good, you've got some brains after all."

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

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

Don't be fooled by his earlier threats; that was just about preserving Bai Shan Ability University's face.

In reality, he deeply understood just how terrifying a top-tier university could be.

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

Ke Liang panicked instantly.

Even his current injuries might prevent him from competing for the next few days.

If Xu Jingming keeps retaliating, how are we supposed to play?"

"Now you're scared? What were you doing earlier?"

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

But don't forget—we still have a team match against Mo Da."

Can you guess whether he'll go all out then?"

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

That means the Bai Da representative team will inevitably face Mo Da.

"Holy shit! Right!"

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

"Damn! Old Ke, you're screwing us over!"

"..."

Although the Bai Shan team had also fought their way into the top 10 among thousands of ability universities nationwide,

that didn't mean they could grow arrogant and equate themselves with Mo Da—in fact, quite the opposite.

They deeply understood that a top-tier university's roster could easily crush them.

Thus, after hearing Captain Ji Hui's analysis, the rest of the team members were stunned.

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

When the match came, they'd likely be crushed.

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

"If we have a match tomorrow and he can't play, you'll take his place."

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 about ten minutes.

Then another high-speed train, originating from Mo Du, arrived at Qing Xu City High-Speed Rail Station.

Xu Jingming's girlfriend must be on this train.

Watching the crowd pour out of the train, Tang Qi's beautiful eyes shimmered faintly with curiosity.

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

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

The 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' as a prefix?" Meng Di snapped.

She was petite, destined by nature to never have 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 the fair-skinned and beautiful Song Qiuyun appeared before them, all three couldn't help but be stunned by her beauty.

What a gorgeous girl!

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

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

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

Although they had already known they would meet Xu Jingming's family and friends today,

even the usually easygoing Song Qiuyun couldn't help but greet them with a touch of nervousness:

"Cousin, hello."

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

At this, Tang Qi snapped out of her awe at Song Qiuyun's beauty and smiled warmly.

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

Zhou Mingyang nudged Meng Di beside him and whispered triumphantly.

This made the latter pout in annoyance.

What's the deal?

Why do all guys like this "long legs" thing?

"You're too kind, cousin."

Seeing that Tang Qi seemed easygoing, Song Qiuyun sighed in relief.

Then, with a faint shimmer of her space ring, three delicate wooden boxes appeared on her soft white right hand, which she extended toward them:

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

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi, Zhou Mingyang, and Meng Di all froze.

No way!

A B-grade cultivation resource, and she says it's not very valuable?

Outside, that would cost at least five or six million Daxia coins!

Before they could recover, Song Qiuyun slipped one wooden 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 take you there first."

Xu Jingming asked his cousin Tang Qi.

"Just a short distance from the high-speed rail station—about one kilometer away."

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 in the city's central large stadium.

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

"There's no choice—the league is 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 among the spectators wouldn't be wealthy?

So those hotels were snapped up long ago.

The ones near the high-speed rail station? She barely managed to grab them.

"The high-speed rail station is too far—I have several villas near the stadium.

If you don't mind, cousin Tang, you can stay there during this time—it'll be much more convenient to get to the stadium for the matches."

At this, Song Qiuyun blinked and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyang and the others, including Tang Qi, exchanged bewildered glances.

Qingxu City, near the No. 5 Demon Cave, was no ordinary city—each villa cost at least hundreds of millions of Daxia coins!

Even if you had money, you couldn't necessarily buy one—you needed 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 seems to have an enormous background...】
