"Yay, long live Brother Qiang!"
Li Dapeng was the first to shout, and the others like Tian Glasses, Zhang Mao, and Zheng Wei also cheered.
The surrounding students cheered too, but they were far less excited than Li Dapeng and others.
Primarily because Qin Yang's one-handed ball catch earlier was too shocking for everyone. In comparison, Zhang Langqiang's flying save, while impressive, wasn't as captivating.
Zhang Langqiang deflected the ball, a smirk playing at his lips. With his speed and reflexes, as soon as the ball was kicked, he had enough time to move to the right position and make the save.
"This kid wants to beat me? Impossible." Zhang Langqiang thought confidently.
"Qin Yang, the first ball, didn't go in."
Sun Tiantian announced, and compared to the annoying Zhang Langqiang, she certainly hoped Qin Yang could win.
Qin Yang's expression didn't change as he positioned the next ball. He hadn't used much force on the last shot; he was just playing around.
"Let's settle this with this shot."
With a smile, Qin Yang ran a short distance and kicked the ball!
Bam!
Under Qin Yang's kick, the ball flew high into the air. Clearly, at this rate, it would soar several meters over the crossbar.
"Haha, what a lousy kick, the ball's headed straight for space..."
Zheng Wei laughed out loud as he watched.
"Is this a sign of kicking into the heavens? Haha..."
Li Dapeng mocked mercilessly.
The goalkeeper, Zhang Langqiang, paused momentarily, then smirked as well, not even bothering to pretend to dive in the ball's direction.
"Small Qi Yu Spell!"
Qin Yang chanted a spell, casting a Small Qi Yu Spell over the ball.
The ball, seemingly about to fly over the crossbar, suddenly plummeted downward.
Sun Tiantian blew a whistle, and the ball sailed into the net.
At this moment, Zhang Langqiang was still standing dumbfounded in the center of the goal, not having had time to make a save.
"Sudden rapid drop, elevator ball, this is an elevator ball!"
"Only top athletes can kick a ball like this."
"..."
The students watching erupted into enthusiastic applause; it was truly spectacular. This kind of high ball suddenly dropping dramatically is something they'd only seen occasionally in some cartoons and top-level matches. They didn't expect Qin Yang to actually pull it off.
"It went in?!"
Li Dapeng's mocking voice abruptly stopped, and he looked incredulously at the ball in the net.
"How did that happen?"
Zhang Langqiang's face was quite gloomy.
This goal had already decided the outcome; there was no point in kicking the remaining three balls.
In the crowd, word spread quickly, almost everyone now knew about the showdown between the two, and one by one, intense gazes fixed on them.
"I think there's no need for the next three balls, right?"
Qin Yang smiled as he looked at Zhang Langqiang.
"Are you really going to make me honor the bet?"
Zhang Langqiang's face darkened, speaking quietly. This kid was not playing along at all—daring to demand Brother Qiang honor the bet in front of so many people.
"It's quite funny, isn't it? You were the one who proposed the contest and the bet. Surely you wouldn't go back on your word, right?" Qin Yang chuckled.
"Zhang Langqiang, you asked me to be the referee, so since you lost, you should honor the bet. I have no respect for people who don't keep their word." Sun Tiantian rolled her eyes and disdainfully glared at Zhang Langqiang.
Hearing this, Zhang Langqiang's face turned bitter. He could threaten Qin Yang, but he couldn't do the same to Sun Tiantian. The Sun family's background wasn't simple either.
"Tiantian, you know, it was just a joke with Qin Yang. Honestly, even if I had won, I wouldn't have made Qin Yang do a lap shouting that. It's too uncivilized, with so many juniors present; the impact would be too negative."
Zhang Langqiang laughed awkwardly.
If he really ran as such, he'd definitely become the laughingstock of the whole school, and his reputation would be ruined.
"A joke? Haha, are we that familiar?"
Qin Yang smiled, showing no intention of letting Zhang Langqiang off the hook.
At this moment, the Four Great Vajra had already surrounded him.
"Qin Yang, don't push it too far. We're all in the same grade, making a classmate run laps while shouting 'I'm a sleazy guy'; is that good?"
Li Dapeng began to defend Zhang Langqiang.
Hearing Li Dapeng's words, Qin Yang nearly spat out a mouthful of water.
Oh, come on, wasn't this idea Zhang Langqiang's brainchild? If I had lost, would you still say this? I've seen shameless people, but never this shameless.
"Of course, it's good. Honesty and integrity are traditional virtues of the Chinese nation; please, go ahead." Qin Yang smiled, indicating Zhang Langqiang should fulfill the bet.
"Run!"
In the crowd, a student shouted first, instantly gaining the response of other students, with calls ringing out one after another.
"Run fast!"
"Keep your word, run!"
"..."
Hearing the voices, Zhang Langqiang's face turned extremely unpleasant. Running would be humiliating; not running would also attract gossip across the whole school.
"Brother Qiang, I'll run. Anyway, the bet didn't state you couldn't have someone substitute you."
Li Dapeng gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Being a younger brother meant having the awareness to take one for Brother Qiang. With Brother Qiang's background, how could he be mistreated?
Saying this, Li Dapeng quickly took off his shirt and long pants, revealing a red pair of shorts.
"Hahaha..."
The crowd immediately erupted in laughter again.
Some girls, peeking through their fingers, saw the little white flower on Li Dapeng's floral shorts.
Qin Yang also shivered with a chill; this guy really had an unusual taste.
Li Dapeng's face flushed red and black, seemingly either from anger at the laughter or from embarrassment. After a while, he stammered, "This year is my zodiac year."
"Dapeng, your loyalty to Brother Qiang won't be forgotten."
Zhang Langqiang patted Li Dapeng's shoulder with some emotion.
Seeing Li Dapeng stepping up for Brother Qiang, Tian Glasses, Zhang Mao, and Gao Fei, who were also Brother Qiang's henchmen, naturally couldn't lag behind.
Wow!
The crowd erupted in an uproar again. Clearly, the four people's appearance was quite shocking and stimulating for the students. The boys all looked excited, watching them with great interest.
"Good brothers, Brother Qiang won't mistreat you."
Zhang Langqiang glanced at the four of them, turned around, and cast a challenging smile at Qin Yang. Hmph, even if I lost, I wouldn't run. Someone would willingly run for me.
"Haha, you're quite loyal, aren't you?" Qin Yang smiled, "Since all four of you are so eager to be in the spotlight, I won't stop you. Please, go ahead."
At this moment, the four of them really wished they could tear Qin Yang apart. Their previous Four Great Vajra incident was already embarrassing enough. Running around the track this time would ruin their reputations completely.
"Run..."
The crowd cheered again. Although the Four Great Vajra were quite tyrannical in school, there were so many people present, they couldn't deal with them one by one, and the one inciting them was hidden among the three to four hundred students.
Li Dapeng's face flushed red. He gritted his teeth, ready to take a step, when Qin Yang nonchalantly said, "By the way, don't forget the slogan you need to shout."
