Chapter 836 — Big Bang

Zhen Yingjun rubbed his eyes, wanting to see whether he was seeing things. But he was not seeing things, because this time Wei Zhao had not "helped" him, had not added any energy for him, so he had simply struck with his own natural strength.
With the force he had used, he could only send the cue ball that far.
"Hahahaha!" Shen Yushu burst out laughing. She pointed at the cue ball Zhen Yingjun had struck, laughing so hard her stomach ached. "I let you break first, and it's as if you didn't even shoot!"
"I just missed my shot, that's all!" Zhen Yingjun's face reddened, though in his heart he had no idea what on earth had gone wrong.
"Missed?" Shen Yushu clearly did not believe his explanation, but she said nothing more. She walked to the edge of the table and told Zhen Yingjun, "All right, I'm going to clear the table in one run!"
"Clear it in one run?" Zhen Yingjun was startled. How could that be? He said hurriedly, "Isn't there a rule against running the table?"
"I didn't say I'd run the table. If I hit another elastic shot, won't that clear it in one run?" Shen Yushu looked at Zhen Yingjun as though he were an idiot.
Zhen Yingjun was struck dumb. He finally understood what Shen Yushu had meant about not separating the suits—so this girl had been planning to hit another elastic shot! Because that earlier elastic shot had been so utterly unbelievable, Zhen Yingjun had never once imagined Shen Yushu could produce another one like it! And when Shen Yushu proposed changing the rules, he had not thought along those lines at all. Only now did he realize what Shen Yushu had been scheming when she changed the rules!
But could she really hit a bouncy ball again? Zhen Yingjun was somewhat doubtful. After all, the bouncy ball already went beyond the bounds of billiards knowledge. A jump shot from Shen Yushu was at least possible, but a bouncy ball—even a world-class professional billiards player might not be able to pull that off!
"You can hit another bouncy ball?" Zhen Yingjun asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"I don't know if I can either, but trying should be about right, no?" Shen Yushu blinked, then raised both hands and cried, "Arrow Brand Brother, please grant me strength!"
Hearing this, Gu Mengyao nearly doubled over laughing, and Wei Zhao was likewise at a loss for words!
Fortunately, the people around them had no idea what Shen Yushu was saying and assumed she was reciting some words of encouragement for herself. Everyone knew that some athletes would shout out things others could not understand before a move—like weightlifters, who in the instant they hoisted the barbell would also call out words to spur themselves on.
After Shen Yushu's invocation, she struck the cue ball. The cue ball itself was quite unremarkable; it casually bumped into a solid-colored ball and then stopped.
It had no follow-through. Just as everyone thought Shen Yushu could not possibly produce another bouncy ball, and Zhen Yingjun heaved a sigh of relief, the ball the cue ball had struck seemed to erupt like a miniature universe, suddenly brimming with power, ricocheting wildly across the billiards table...
The bouncy ball was born once again!
That ball seemed tireless, ceaselessly careening around the billiards table. Of course, if only one ball was bouncy, that would still be nothing, since such an incredible thing had already happened once before. The key issue was that the present situation was even more astonishing beyond measure!
