Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

He wasn't interested in playing, so he simply tossed the basketball to Xue Yuantong.

Just then, a shout came from a corner of the basketball court.

"Brother Wu is awesome, he dunked!"

"Oh my god, that's amazing!"

Actually, it didn't quite count as a dunk. Earlier, Wu Yunzhi jumped and only managed to graze the rim with his fingers, which was more of a "near dunk."

But for an ordinary high school student, such a skill was still pretty impressive.

In a typical high school, the number of students who could dunk could be counted on one hand. There's a good chance there might even be none at all.

Wu Yunzhi basked in the awe of his classmates.

However, the boys from Class 8 who were playing basketball took one look and then turned away.

Nothing surprising, after all, back during the military training in their first year, everyone had seen Zhuang Jianhui dunk in person, and it was a backboard alley-oop, which was far more spectacular than Wu Yunzhi's.

Yet Wu Yunzhi didn't know this, and with his limited insight, he was absorbed in his own pride.

Wu Yunzhi dribbled the basketball, looking at Jiang Ning who was playing nearby. Seeing Jiang Ning also playing basketball, his smile grew even brighter.

"Brother Wu, you're going to be the face of our basketball team now. Dunking — that'll bring a whole bunch of people wanting to join our team!" A chubby boy said excitedly.

Wu Yunzhi: "Not bad."

He then noticed Wu Xiaoqi, who was practicing in the distance. Wu Yunzhi felt itchy, restraining himself, planning to crush the others once the basketball team was fully formed!

Chen Siyu, after missing a few shots, tossed the basketball to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, can you show us some techniques?"

Jiang Ning noticed Xue Yuantong watching him, and he dribbled the ball twice. Nearby, Song Sheng and Qiang Li, who hadn't seen Jiang Ning play basketball, were curious.

Wu Yunzhi was drinking soda, and when he saw this scene, he, along with the boys from the class, turned their attention to it. Meanwhile, Bai Yuxia, south of the podium, was also watching.

Jiang Ning took the basketball and dribbled towards the hoop.

Reaching beneath the hoop, Jiang Ning firmly held the basketball with both hands, stepped forward, and leapt into the air.

As he jumped, the basketball raised with him. Jiang Ning's figure spun, and the basketball in his hands twirled like a windmill, moving from high to low, as he palmed it with one hand. His arm traced a curve, slamming it into the hoop.

After landing, Jiang Ning's body completed a full turn.

Students playing basketball around were stunned; some had their eyes wide open, others their mouths agape, seemingly still immersed in the recent dunk scene.

Qiang Li, who had a keen eye, shouted, "Holy shit, that's a windmill dunk with a spin!"

Miao Zhe marveled, "So fluid and graceful!"

This move is one of the coolest and most aesthetically pleasing in basketball. Just now, Jiang Ning added his unique flair to it, making it exceptionally entertaining to watch.

It perfectly showcased the charm of basketball.

Xue Yuantong called out, "I want to learn that!"

Chen Siyu looked on with admiration, eyes sparkling, thinking how cool it was! So cool!

In her excitement, she exclaimed, "I want to learn it too, I want to learn it too!"

Jiang Ning smiled faintly, slightly lifting his head, his gaze calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

This calm and collected demeanor made Chen Siyu's heart race.

At this moment, his demeanor was even more impressive than the dunk itself!

Jiang Ning's smile remained: "Sure, I can teach you guys."

Qiang Li, who was watching, very much wanted to learn too!

If he learned this trick, who knows how many girls he could attract!

Nearby, someone on the basketball court shouted, "Brother Wu..."

Wu Yunzhi snapped back to reality. He loved playing basketball and had naturally watched the NBA, so he was familiar with Jiang Ning's dunk move.

To say he wasn't shocked would be a lie. Wu Yunzhi forcibly maintained his composure, wanting to speak, but the shock was too overwhelming, leaving him speechless.

In comparison, his earlier dunk performance was laughable — simply not on the same level.

By the podium, Bai Yuxia, with keen eyesight, witnessed Jiang Ning's move, but because of the distance, only felt it was cool, lacking the impact of seeing it up close.

She suddenly understood: 'He's really good at basketball.'

In the past, Class 8 had basketball enthusiasts like Wu Xiaoqi, Huang Zhongfei, Zhang Chi, and Guo Kunnan, but Jiang Ning had never participated. Now, with his performance, Bai Yuxia felt she had discovered a treasure.

She looked out at the tall figure on the basketball court, her eyes shimmering like rippling lake waves, thinking softly: 'What else is he hiding?'
