Chapter 333 Games From Across The Country
As Kai sat in the midst of his teammates, who, fortunately, had moved onto another topic, he felt like his head was being crushed by an elephant's leg.Was that it?
Was that the new skill he had acquired?
Before he could question himself further, a flash of text appeared in his vision, like a heads-up display in a video game.

Copycat—Learn new techniques faster than the normal person. Copying is a process that needs time and energy. The more difficult the technique, the longer the time and the higher the energy needed for it to be copied, and vice versa.
Kai blinked, and in that moment, it felt like everything made sense.
"This must have started during the game with the Feng Foxes," he muttered.
No—it happened even before that.
Maybe it dated back to the time when he met with Chunlei at the city's public basketball court—and that was the reason why he was able to copy his technique on the day of their game.
It was no wonder Kai felt so tired throughout the game with the Knights. He wasn't aware of his skill yet, so he must have unconsciously tried to copy Max Zhou's skills.
It all exploded when Kai tried to copy their illusion, which needed a whole team's cooperation.
With his realization, a smirk made its way to his lips.
They may have lost the game...
Kai may have lost some XP, too.
But, he gained something much more important.

Across the city, in a packed gymnasium in Guangzhou, another battle raged on the court.
The commentator's voice boomed through the speakers, filling every corner.
"The Dragons are proving to be the strongest animal in the city once again this year! With a 20-point lead, they're dominating this game. It's going to take the Thunders a lot to catch up!"
On the court, Calvin Wu was in his element. The ball was like an extension of his body, moving with his hand as he cut through defenders.
Calvin was known for his unpredictability—a player who never made the same move twice.
He kept everyone guessing, from his opponents to his own teammates.
It was what made him so dangerous.
As the Dragons advanced up the court, Calvin dribbled with an almost lazy confidence, his eyes scanning the floor like a predator
"And he scores! The Eagles take the lead with just seconds to go! The crowd is going wild!"
The scoreboard flashed: 102-100.
The Ying Eagles had done it, securing their victory in one of the most intense games of the season.

In Shanghai, all eyes were on one game.
The stadium was packed, with fans sitting on the edges of their seats as they watched the legend of the court take on his opponents.
The first and oldest Elite Five was currently dominating the court.
Having taken a year off from school, he was older, stronger, and more experienced than the other players.
And it showed.
He dominated the court with an ease that seemed almost unfair.
The game was drawing to a close, and the score was a massacre.
Jimmy Wang grabbed a rebound, his eyes immediately finding the legend across the court. There were only two seconds left, but Jimmy knew better than to doubt his senior's abilities. He passed the ball with a sharp flick of his wrist, sending it sailing across the court.
The young legend caught the ball at the half-line, his expression unreadable.
The crowd held its breath as he squared up, not even hesitating before launching the ball toward the basket.
"And Jian Niu shoots from the half-line!"
The ball seemed to hang in the air for an eternity, the entire stadium silent as everyone watched its trajectory. Then, as if guided by fate, the ball swished through the net with a satisfying whoosh.
The crowd was silent, in disbelief of what they were seeing.
It took them a while to internalize the amazing shot—one made from the half-line.
Even reporters couldn't believe their eyes as the scoreboard flashed the final score.
153-87.
Then, they started chanting his name.
"Jian Niu!"
