Chapter 164: Play Ball! All Feminine Eyes on the Man with Crystal Blue Eyes and Snow-white Hair.

Heavenly Dao Ball.

A game where players compete to hit a small enchanted ball, called a "Dao Ball," with a specially crafted wooden bat known as a "Dao Bat." These bats are made from the sacred trees of Mount Kunlun and infused with spiritual energy to pack a punch.

The goal is to score points by running around designated bases, called "Celestial Bases," placed strategically around the field to represent the alignment of heavenly bodies.

Players have to touch each base in order to rack up points.

To amp up the game, players also wear Qi-infused Gloves, which are hand coverings woven from strands of spiritual energy. These gloves provide protection and give them a better grip when handling the Dao Ball.

...

First Inning, Team 3 at bat...

Standing at the center of the arena, known as the ball's origin, Yang Wei sported plain blue and gold robes, the game's standard uniform. With a Qi-infused glove on his left hand, he geared up as the Dao Master ready to kick off the game.

Yesterday, after finally getting that pesky golden slime off me, Tianyu paid me a visit. He mentioned there's gonna be an inter-sect event featuring heavenly dao ball. So, I dove into learning everything about the game. Turns out, this game was actually a cultivation method used by an ancient celestial civilization to boost their body refinement.

So, basically, just by playing this game, I can work on improving my blood Qi cultivation through controlled circulation. Plus, I can keep honing my newly acquired physique, the Golden Turtle Body, at the same time. Double win!

He focused back on the game.

Huo Zhenwei, the Celestial Batter, clutched his dao bat tightly on his shoulder, flashing a calm smile at Yang Wei. "Senior Brother," he spoke confidently, "I won't let you win this time."

Yang Wei chuckled, weaving several one-handed mudras to summon a dao ball out of thin air. With a smirk, he retorted to Huo Zhenwei, "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were being arrogant."

In the Catcher's position stood Jin Tianyu, his shiny bald head adorned only with a light blue headband. Extending his Qi-infused glove hand forward, he grinned and cheered, "Come on, Senior Brother!"

Without hesitation, Yang Wei took a powerful throwing stance and executed a Qi-pulse Strike, pitching the dao ball with intense spiritual energy that made it hurtle like a rocket toward Huo Zhenwei!

"That's too damn fast!" Huo Zhenwei shouted as he attempted to swing, but missed.

"Strike!"

Jin Tianyu managed to catch it, although he was pushed back by the force of Yang Wei's pitch. Examining the smoking hot dao ball, Jin Tianyu muttered, "I-is Senior Brother trying to kill me?" Sweat rolled down his bald head.

In the bleachers, Liu Yan said, "Wow, that's quite a fastball." A small nod followed after. She was so consumed by watching Yang Wei pitch that she wasn't aware over numerous men and women around her all ogled her.

"EEEEEEEEEEEK!"

"HE'S SO SEXY!"

Clearly, they were smitten by this handsome man with crystal blue eyes and snow-white hair.

In the dugout, the usually calm and reserved head matron, Yun Feiyan, broke character and screamed at the top of her voice, "I love you, Yang Wei!" She was like an obsessive teenager in love. It almost seemed like she'd jump onto the field to give him a hug if she could.

Mu Lingxi, seated nearby with crossed legs, gave her a side-eye and questioned, "Why're you cheering for the enemy? Wait, why're you cheering at all? I thought you were the composed, not-easily-swayed-by-men type..."

Yun Feiyan maintained her calm expression and retorted, "Oh, come on, Young Miss. Can't an old lady like me have some fun or get infatuated by young men?" She giggled mischievously.

Feeling weirded out, Mu Lingxi replied, "That's... just wrong."

Still, it's clear he has a thing for older women... I mean, there's rumors floating around about him and Big Sister Liu, and then there's that blue-haired woman he kissed yesterday. Tch, she's that old and doesn't even have a decent cultivation base. What a disgrace to women!

Yun Feiyan then pointed out someone on the field and said, "Besides, I'm not the only one easily charmed by our Yang Wei."

"Hm?" Mu Lingxi turned her attention back to the game and saw Mu Lin waving her dao bat in the air, shouting, "That's my sweet Wei! Just as talented as my excellent self! Crush every single one of those incompetent men!" She seemed fiery and lovestruck.

Mu Lingxi's eyebrows twitched in shock, and she stammered, "Oh, c-come on, not you too, Junior Sister..."

That bastard will just fool her and the next day he's with another woman!

Meanwhile, in their special corner, the elders observed the game. Guo Xiaomei had her hands on her cheeks, smiling like a cat who'd found a ball of yarn. "Wow~" she moaned, "I never thought the sight a sweating man could be so attractive. It's rare to see someone like him—talented cultivator, promising future, good in sports, and a genius in the apothecary field.

He even teaches my junior disciples better than their seniors ever could!"

Sun Yurong gave Guo Xiaomei an awkward stare and calmly spoke, "Well, he's just okay. I don't see any reason to be that attracted to him." Her stare momentarily turned into a sharp glare.

She would really dare drag him with me? I need Yang Wei for the greater good of our sects and it won't be possible if he's distracted by other women.

Gu Zhi then interjected, "Ahhh forget it! He's just a pretty boy, a copy of all the men in my days."

"Agreed," Chen Yuxi deadpanned.

"Hehe~" Xiu Yulan softly giggled by herself. "And Lin Feng says he's nothing special..." Her eyes narrowed gently at Yang Wei and slowly, she licked her finger tips.
