How should we do it this time?
While I was still thinking in my mind, my body reacted first.
The Rams rocked!
Dribble, lean over, sprint...
Then, in front of Kagami Daigo, he suddenly took off into the air along the free throw line!
Kagami Daigo's eyes widened slightly, and then he gritted his teeth.
Are you going to jump over me and dunk again?
“——What a joke!”
He also leaped forward, and this time the jump seemed to have broken through some shackles, allowing him to suddenly rise to an unprecedented height. When he reached forward with his palm, he actually touched the basketball in Gong Yang Zhen's hand!
A hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Intercepted?!
However, as their chests collided, the joy suddenly turned into shock!
Here it comes again, that inexplicable and strange force...
I saw that the body of the Fire God was violently shaken by the oncoming impact in the air, and then fell backwards in an arc visible to the naked eye, and was about to be knocked away.
There is no leverage in the air, and if you land with a complete loss of balance, you might hit the ground with your head, which is very dangerous.
However, he did not just fly backwards.
It was Gong Yang Zhen. He grabbed the ball with one hand and used the other hand to pull Vulcan Dayo back from the point where he was almost falling in the air.
At the same time, a beautiful voice sounded from Gong Yangzhen's head.
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour takes effect, your maximum health increases by 31. ]
[Task: Temper your heart has been completed, rewards will be issued soon——]
"!"
This sound was like a deafening thunder that suddenly struck Gong Yang Zhen's heart, shaking his whole body. He didn't even realize that the basketball in his hand had slipped out of his hands unknowingly.
It was not until they both fell to the ground under the influence of gravity that Gong Yang Zhen woke up from his dream and hurriedly shouted to Reiko Aida on the sidelines: "Coach, I have something urgent to do. Can I apply for early leave? If there is any other training plan, I will make up for it tomorrow--"
“…Eh, eh?! There’s no training plan for the future—”
"Then I'll be leaving first! Sorry!"
Almost at the moment when Reiko Aida, who was still shocked by the shocking collision just now, had just spoken her words, Gong Yang Zhen rushed out of the indoor basketball court like an arrow.
At the same time, some strange changes occurred in Gong Yang Zhen.
A slight tingling, a slight numbness, and a feeling as if the whole body is soaked in warm water -
The changes in his body made him involuntarily recall the feeling when the Fighting Spirit Arena and the Hero Template had just arrived... Although it was not as strong this time, he could clearly feel his body transforming and his blood boiling, which made him so refreshed that even his X was about to explode!
His skin was red, his veins were knotted, and strength continued to surge out of his body. He didn't even have the time to take care of his personal belongings that were still in the gym. He simply turned into a stream of light, crossed the playground, passed by the students of the Homecoming Department, and passed through the school gate that was already wide open.
Only an elusive breeze remained.
Chapter 54: Physical Changes
The branches of the cherry trees swayed slightly, and the setting sun shone through the branches onto the brick walls of the teaching building, as if light was painting on an occasional drawing board, leaving behind faint shadows.
A breeze blew in from the open window, gently ruffling the long hair of the girl in the wind band classroom.
The girl, who was originally touring the exhibits in the club, gently raised her hand to smooth her long hair and put it back at her waist, while looking out the window.
What kind of scene is seen in those almond-shaped eyes with black and white reversed?
Leisurely crowds, graceful spring scenery, and the sad and beautiful golden sunset.
And a figure that rushed out of the campus like light.
"..."
Huh?
Slightly stunned, she suddenly moved to the window, but the figure seemed to be just a flash in the pan, avoiding all pedestrians on the route and rushing out of her sight at lightning speed.
It sped towards the college gate, leaving behind only the students who were blown by the strong wind and looked a little overwhelmed.
That is……?
"...And here is a display case of the honorary awards that previous ministers have won... Hey, Garuda? Garuda? What are you looking at?"
"Um...ah! Sorry, I was distracted!"
"Eh? Ah, that's okay. Haha, isn't Seirin's spring scenery beautiful? I was the same as you are this year. Even during class, I would occasionally be attracted by the cherry blossoms outside the window... Oh, can I say that?"
The senior from the wind band club couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.
And what about Ugaruda?
She left the window at this moment, but seemed to be still lingering on something outside the window, and her eyes did not move away for a long time.
After a long while, he finally turned his gaze back to the senior schoolmate in front of him and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
"...Yes, Senpai."
What a beautiful scenery.
At the same time, there was silence on the indoor basketball court.
There was only the dull sound of the basketball thrown from the air bouncing on the ground.
"…Alright, it's alright, let's continue our activities."
After a long time, someone made a difficult sound. It was Hinata Junpei. He had been watching the one-on-one fight between the two super rookies from the middle of the fight and saw every performance of both sides.
Let’s talk about the Vulcan God first. It can be said that his fighting spirit and endurance were amazing. He was beaten the whole time but still showed an indomitable spirit of resistance.
And looking at his movements and physical fitness, you can tell that he is a top-notch basketball genius with his own strengths, such as his jumping and air-staying abilities that far exceed those of ordinary people.
Although he failed to snatch the ball from Gong Yangzhen and show his talent, he must have some unique tricks hidden.
Others may not necessarily do better than him.
After all, the person opposite doesn't look like a human being at all.
Thinking of the almost indistinguishable figure just now, he couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth: "Coach, is this the legendary 'superhuman physique'?"
"…Everyone has seen the real thing for the first time. How would I know?"
Reiko Aida's speech at this moment was also a bit dry.
I originally thought that what the other party had shown when facing the God of Fire just now was already the ultimate level, but who knew that it was far from the limit.
Damn, how can someone turn into light when running?
However, it may seem incredible when you are standing in the bystander position, but if you stand in the perspective of your teammates and watch the performance of the opponent, how reliable it is.
I had previously completed a physical examination for the elusive Kuroko Tetsuya, but I felt a little disappointed - with this kind of physical fitness, I feel that he can only cause trouble in elementary school basketball, let alone high school basketball.
Damn it, this “Generation of Miracles” is such a disappointment!
However, the disappointment in her heart at this moment was immediately swept away by Gong Yang Zhen's inhuman performance. She was silent for a moment and said casually: "...Anyway, let's set a small goal for the time being, and first achieve dominance in the high school basketball league."
"..."
Hinata Junpei also thought of this, his eyelids stopped twitching, and he immediately saw the bright future of Seirin.
Who eliminated us last year? Zhengbang High School, right? Go, Gongyang, go up and give him two slaps to teach him a lesson.
Even though your players are very good, you still can't beat Gundam, right?
This is the year with the best chance! Aiming for the championship!
"…But is Kagami okay?"
"Huh?..."
A word to awaken the dreamer.
For a moment, the two of them looked at the half of the court where there was only one person.
There, the Vulcan, who had just been pulled to the ground safely by the Rams, was staring at the open door of the indoor stadium in a daze.
It took a long time before he took action - he bent down slightly and gently picked up the basketball that had rolled to his feet.
"…Fire, Fire God, are you okay?"
Someone came over and said cautiously.
"……I?"
What's good or bad.
Looking at the orange ball in his hand, Kagami Owo slowly clenched his palms.
There was a smile on his face that looked quite ferocious.
It's so powerful that it's outrageous, Gong Yang Zhen.
……Very good.
If you don't have this level, if you don't have an opponent as strong as you, then even if you become the number one in Japan, it will be meaningless.
He started dribbling the ball again, and the fire in his eyes seemed to be rekindled.
I'm not strong enough, I need to be stronger...
Damn it, practice more! Strength, I command you, appear on my body of the God of Fire!
With my fighting spirit rekindled, I, the God of Fire, began to bomb the basket fiercely. At this moment, the figure of Gong Yang Zhen seemed to appear in front of me again. Although he was out of reach, I would definitely catch up with him one day!
He was working so hard here that he didn't notice that there was a figure on the sidelines that was ignored by everyone.
——Kuroko Tetsuya.
He looked at Kagami Taiga who jumped high as if gliding in the air, and then looked at the door over there that had been closed by Aida Reiko.
His face was expressionless, yet he seemed to be thinking about something.
………………
Gong Yangzhen felt as if there was a fire burning inside his body.
The bones were growing stronger, the muscles were expanding, the blood vessels were bulging, the heart, lungs and internal organs were also being renovated... The body seemed to suddenly have a mind of its own and began to move spontaneously, but it was still faithfully executing the orders of the brain, allowing Gong Yang Zhen to leave people's sight and maintain a sprint all the way back home.
This shows the advantage of choosing a high school close to home, otherwise he might have to race on the street for a while longer.
As soon as he got home, he suddenly tore his already slightly tight sweatshirt into pieces, followed by his sports shorts and underwear...
Lying naked on the tile floor, feeling the refreshing sensation brought by the direct contact between the hot body and the cool tiles.
At the same time, the brain is unusually clear.
"Although I had expected that there would be a big commotion when 'Mission: Steel Your Heart' was completed."
"——But the noise is a bit too loud...Why do I feel like my flesh and blood are wriggling?"
This felt like boiling a frog in warm water. It was not painful at first, but as it went on for a while, it began to feel like a burning sensation in the lungs, which made Gong Yang Zhen begin to frown.
A person endures this tormenting and happy time in a dim room, until one moment -
[Mission: Temper Your Heart rewards have been distributed, your maximum health has increased by 1600. ]
[Health value: 4383 (current health value) / 4383 (maximum health value)]
[The passive effect of Vigorous Medical Practice (E) is taking effect. 】
[Current attack power: 175. ]
His whole body felt light as if all the shackles had been removed, his chest rose and fell violently, and Gong Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.
It was like two amber flashes of electricity flashed across the room.
Without any intention of enjoying the afterglow of the transformation, he immediately stood up, only to find that his entire body was drenched in sweat, leaving behind a human-shaped outline covered in white mist on the ground.
...I'll wipe it later.
He was still naked at the moment, but since he lived alone he was not in a hurry to cover himself up. He walked to the half-length mirror on the sink and planned to take a look at his changed body.
The result was a bit surprising when I saw it.
“——This is a bit… hard to explain.”
