Chapter 118: Defeating Li Hao and Winning the Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament! (Part 1/4)”

Huang Dongliang and others, seeing this scene, their eyes dimmed.

One by one, they left dejectedly.

Students from the Sports department and other colleges who supported them also chose to leave.

There was no choice; this is the cruelty of competitive sports.

The victor is king, and the defeated are the vanquished.

Although it’s often said that the result of the match is not important, and the process is what matters most.

But clearly, everyone cared more about the outcome.

“Captain, we won the championship because of your great contribution! We’d like to take you out for lunch today to celebrate properly!” Gao Cheng took the initiative to suggest.

“How could I let you pay? I’m also very happy that the team won the championship! Let me be the host!” Tang Feng smiled.

“No way! Without you, we couldn’t have even made it to the finals, let alone win the championship! We insist on treating you to this meal!” Gao Cheng quickly waved his hand.

Seeing this, Tang Feng naturally couldn’t say much more.

After all, today was a day worth remembering.

If they insisted on this small matter, it would ultimately make everyone unhappy.

There was no need for that.

Of course, because of Tang Feng’s relationship with Su Xiaoli, Su Ming, Yu Li, and others were also invited to the meal.

Soon, the group arrived at a nearby restaurant in a grand manner.

Gao Cheng booked the largest private room.

Tang Feng was naturally seated in the most important position.

After all, the team’s victory was largely thanks to Tang Feng!

The waiter handed the menu to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng ordered a dish and then passed the menu to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng asked everyone what they wanted to eat as he ordered.

After finishing the order, Gao Cheng asked Tang Feng, “Captain, what would you like to drink?”

“I’ll just have this,” Tang Feng said, picking up the teacup in front of him.

“Captain, on such a joyful day, shouldn’t you drink something?” Gao Cheng negotiated.

“I actually do want to drink something. But I have very important things to do tomorrow. After dinner tonight, I need to go back to the dorm to pack,” Tang Feng replied.

“In that case, I won’t force you. Do as you wish,” Gao Cheng said.

The dishes were served one after another.

When most of the dishes were on the table, everyone stood up to toast and celebrate.

“Come on, let’s eat!” Tang Feng invited.

Everyone started eating.

“Captain, to be honest, I barely slept last night. I was tossing and turning, afraid that we would lose to those guys from the Sports department,” Gao Cheng said.

“I have to say, Huang Dongliang and their main players are indeed very strong. The reason I didn’t make a move at the start was to see how strong they really were,” Tang Feng smiled.

“You not making a move made them think you were no good. You should have seen how smug they looked at that time. I really wanted to go up there and slap them a couple of times!” Gao Cheng was almost fuming with anger.

“No need. The best way to retaliate is to win against them on the court,” Tang Feng said.

“Before, many people on the school’s BBS forum didn’t think highly of us and were waiting to laugh at us. Now, they probably have to shut up,” Gao Cheng said, unable to help but down his drink in one gulp!

“Now that we’ve won the campus basketball league championship, next we’ll represent Jingcheng University in the national college basketball league! During this time, you all must intensify your training,” Tang Feng said earnestly.

“Captain, don’t worry! Starting tomorrow, we’ll be on the basketball court every day! In addition to completing the training plan you set for us, we’ll also increase our teamwork,” Gao Cheng immediately stated his position.

Tang Feng nodded and said, “If there are any problems, we’ll deal with them when I get back.”

“Captain, where are you going?” Gao Cheng asked.

“Korea,” Tang Feng replied.

“Ah? Did I hear that right? You’re going abroad?” Gao Cheng and others were very shocked.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded and said, “The Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament is about to start. Tomorrow morning at six, I’ll be flying to Korea with other contestants.”

“Go? Captain, you play that too?” Gao Cheng was even more surprised.

“I know a little,” Tang Feng replied.

“Captain, you’re too modest! If you can represent China in the Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament, your level must be very high!”

“Not just anything! Your Go skills must be at least in the top ten in the country! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a chance to participate!”

Tang Feng didn’t say anything, just smiled.

“Captain, I really admire you. Not only are you handsome, but you’re also great at studying, singing, basketball, and even Go!” Gao Cheng said, giving a thumbs up.

“I’ve always said it! Tang Feng is truly a treasure,” Ning Xiao laughed.

“Captain, I expect that in a few days, professional teams will invite you to join them and play. You should be prepared for that,” Gao Cheng reminded him.

“I definitely won’t join. I’m not interested in these basketball leagues,” Tang Feng responded.

“What if it’s about joining the national team?” Gao Cheng asked.

“If it’s the national team, I would definitely give it serious thought. After all, I’d like to represent the national team in competition and perhaps win the world championship trophy,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Our national men’s basketball team is quite strong. If we participate in the World Men’s Basketball Championship, we could probably make it to the quarterfinals. But making it to the semifinals is basically impossible. If you join the national team, I don’t know if we can win the championship, but I do know the national team can definitely make it to the semifinals,” Gao Cheng said.

“I have a problem; if I participate, I definitely aim to win the championship. And I believe the national team has the strength to win the championship,” Tang Feng spoke with confidence.

“If we really can win the championship, not to mention anything else, just the prize money is not a small amount,” Gao Cheng’s eyes sparkled with envy.

“Let’s talk about that when the time comes! Right now, I need to go participate in the Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Come on! Let’s raise our glasses! To preemptively celebrate the captain’s victory in the Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament!” Gao Cheng shouted.

Everyone stood up.

After finishing the meal, Tang Feng discussed with Su Xiaoli, “We need to leave at six o’clock tomorrow morning. How about we spend the night at the villa tonight?”

“No need!” Su Xiaoli shook her head and said, “I still need to go back to the dorm to organize things.”

“Alright then,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “Don’t stay up too late organizing, get some rest early.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll wait for you at the dorm entrance at five thirty in the morning,” Su Xiaoli said.

Then, Tang Feng took Su Xiaoli back.

When he returned to the dorm, he found Su Ming and others gathered around the computer, watching something.

“Boss, just as I expected, the BBS forum is a completely different scene compared to yesterday. Everyone has gone from mocking you to praising you!” Zhu Zihang shouted.
