Yu Zhu and Ikegami Ryoji had not made their decision on impulse. Only after careful consideration had they resolved to put down basketball and focus on their studies.
Besides, for these two seniors who had accompanied Ryonan through countless trials and hardships, winning both the Summer League and the Autumn National Sports Festival in their final year of high school had already left them with no regrets.
After Yu Zhu and Ikegami Ryoji retired, Ryonan's basketball club lineup lost two core senior players. Yet this had caused virtually no impact on Chi Tong or the team. Not even the slightest ripple had appeared in him.
Of course, this did not mean Chi Tong was cold and heartless, much less that he did not value the two seniors' efforts and companionship.
After fighting side by side for so long and winning the Summer League and Autumn National Sports Festival together, he had always kept that bond between teammates in his heart. He simply had absolute confidence that his own abilities and strength were enough to cover up any subtle effects caused by the roster changes.
From the bottom of his heart, Chi Tong believed that he could still lead Ryonan steadily to the pinnacle of high school basketball.
No one knew better than Chi Tong that from the moment the two personalities within him had completely fused, he had already stood at the peak of this Slam Dunk World, an existence that could be called invincible.
The conflict and limitations once imposed by his two personalities had long vanished after their fusion, replaced by an unprecedented state of perfection. Whether it was his mentality, judgment, or basketball skills, all had reached an impeccable level.
At least in this world of Slam Dunk, Chi Tong had every right to call himself invincible.
