Super Soldier in Campus

However, Ding Min was clearly a leader among the male students of the finance class. When he saw the wrong attitude of the male students in the Industrial Management class, the finance class students also refused to back down, gathering together ready to fight back.

The relationship between the two classes, originally strained by a friendly basketball match, deteriorated further due to Lin Feng's "desertion at a critical moment."

"It's already five-fifty, and there's still no sign of Lin Feng. Wang Zikai, if you say Lin Feng didn't desert at a critical moment, then what is it? Lin Feng ran off himself, using you all as shields, and you're still defending him. That's utterly absurd!" On the basketball court, Ding Min, dressed in the finance class team uniform, was warming up with practice shots while watching Wang Zikai and asking with a faint laugh.

The atmosphere between the classes was already tense. Now, Ding Min didn't dare provoke Wang Zikai too much; he was merely questioning him. But even this questioning nearly made Wang Zikai snap.

"It's not time yet, so what the hell are you rushing for!" Wang Zikai stared coldly at Ding Min and said loudly, "If you're not afraid of Brother Feng, why start warming up twenty minutes early? Don't think I don't know what you're scheming! You're just hoping Brother Feng won't show up so you can arrogantly tell everyone he's scared of you! In fact, you have no confidence you can beat Brother Feng!"

"Heh... Wang Zikai, I find you have quite an imagination; it's a shame you're not a writer! Me, scared of Lin Feng? You're joking..." Ding Min sneered at Wang Zikai, "Is there something wrong with me warming up before a competition? Don't you know that for any good athlete, taking every game seriously is a fundamental professional ethic?"

"Hmph... you're on the school team. Liu Yunfeng must have told you about Brother Feng's strength... He even lost to Lin Feng, getting shut out. Stop playing dumb with me; I don't believe you're not scared at all!" Wang Zikai chuckled and shook his head.

Ding Min knew what Wang Zikai meant. After the bet was revealed to the school team captain, Liu Yunfeng, earlier today, Liu Yunfeng had indeed told him that Lin Feng once trounced Liu Yunfeng's team 5-0 in a half-court recreational basketball game, giving them a complete shutout.

"First, I'm not Liu Yunfeng; I won't underestimate Lin Feng... Second, Lin Feng's luck can't be that good every time! Third, and most importantly..." Ding Min looked at Wang Zikai and said with a slight smile, "It's still unknown if Lin Feng will even dare to show up!"

"You..." Wang Zikai was thoroughly angered by Ding Min. This guy actually said Brother Feng beat Liu Yunfeng purely due to luck and Liu Yunfeng's carelessness... Why don't you try playing Liu Yunfeng one-on-one? See if you can shut him out just because he's supposedly careless?

However, Wang Zikai ultimately said nothing, holding it in. He'd just wait and see how Lin Feng would beat the crap out of Ding Min!

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

Soon, the referee's official watch showed five fifty-nine. By now, the male students from the finance class, Ding Min among them, had already started cheering for Ding Min's win by default.

Even those students from the Industrial Management class who had always trusted Lin Feng began to have doubts.

Could Lin Feng really be scared?

Why haven't we seen him yet? Has he really conceded?

Even if he conceded, he should at least show up...

Is he planning to resign? Are we about to witness the shortest-serving Athletics Department Head in history?

Tch, tch. Well, let's just wait and see. Time's almost up anyway...

「...」

In the finance class's cheerleading squad, Su Zi and Ning Aoxue were chatting. Su Zi, pouting slightly with displeasure, leaned into Ning Aoxue's ear and murmured, "Where on earth did Lin Feng go? I haven't seen him all day!"

"He only said he had something urgent to do at the North Campus and would be back by six o'clock sharp. That's all he said!" Ning Aoxue handed her cell phone to Su Zi, letting her read the message herself.

"Hmph, the North Campus... Looks like someone went off to enjoy himself!" Su Zi knew Tang Rou was at the North Campus and guessed Lin Feng had gone to see her. Naturally, she was upset. He tried to take advantage of me just last night, and today he's off to see his official girlfriend! Clearly, he doesn't take me seriously at all!

Ning Aoxue, however, didn't know that Lin Feng's girlfriend was Tang Rou, nor that Tang Rou was at the North Campus. Hearing Su Zi's words, she asked curiously, "Enjoy himself? What are you talking about, A'zi?"

"It's nothing. I'm just a bit annoyed that Lin Feng is a no-show! I was really looking forward to seeing him thrash that idiot Ding Min, but he's been gone all day!" Su Zi pouted and sighed.

"I believe Lin Feng will make it back. He'll definitely beat Ding Min!" Ning Aoxue, on the other hand, had great faith in Lin Feng.

If Ding Min knew that the two great beauties in the cheerleading squad were both hoping to see him humiliated, what would he think?

「...」

Finally, the countdown reached the last twenty seconds. It was almost six o'clock, yet there was still no sign of Lin Feng.

Wang Zikai stood on the stands, looking out. He realized that within a hundred-meter radius of the basketball court reserved by the finance and Industrial Management classes, there wasn't another soul in sight. He couldn't help but wonder... could Brother Feng really have had an emergency and isn't able to make it?

"Haha, I'm not just spouting nonsense this time! Look, do you see anyone else within a few hundred meters of this sports ground? Is Lin Feng too scared to show his face? Tell me, was I wrong about him?"

"What a spineless coward..." Ding Min looked at the clock, which showed only a dozen or so seconds left in the countdown, and burst out laughing.

The boys from the Industrial Management class were all holding their breath, their faces flushed red with frustration. Some of the less patient ones had already thrown down their cheering sticks and begun to leave.

Just then, from hundreds of meters away, the low roar of an engine suddenly echoed.

A thought flashed through Wang Zikai's mind, and his gaze instantly locked onto the black sedan that had suddenly appeared. The excitement welling up in his heart was suddenly beyond words.

Soon, everyone noticed the black Passat. Surprise registered on nearly every face, and the same thought flashed through their minds: Could that be Lin Feng?

Ding Min also sensed something was amiss. Seeing the Passat speeding across the sports field, a look of shock crossed his face, but his rational mind refused to believe it.

It can't be real, definitely not. How could that be Lin Feng? There's no way he could have made it back in time! Ding Min muttered to himself, as if stating a fact, yet also trying to convince himself.

Not keeping everyone waiting long, the black Passat sped towards them at nearly a hundred kilometers per hour, only hitting the brakes when it was less than twenty meters from the basketball court stands. Then, the entire Passat executed a beautiful drift, etching several deep tracks into the muddy ground before finally coming to a smooth halt.

A handsome young man in casual trousers, grey sneakers, and a striped plaid shirt stepped out of the car, a smile on his face... It was Lin Feng!

"Brother Feng, why are you so late!" Wang Zikai couldn't stop himself from shouting. Perhaps because he'd yelled with such force, his eyes were a little red.

Zhong Jialiang and Yang Ming also had red-rimmed eyes.

"Hmph, such a show-off!" Su Zi finally laughed heartily.

"Completely disregarding safety!" Ning Aoxue said with a stern expression, criticizing Lin Feng's dangerous driving just moments before.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting!" Lin Feng offered a faint smile as he walked from the car and slowly entered the basketball court.

PHWEEET! Not giving Lin Feng any extra time for pleasantries, the meticulous referee blew the starting whistle right on time.
