Chapter 69: Goal!!!.
---
Yin Zhe watched the giant eagle. the Fire Elemental Spirit Beast. as it recoiled from his incredible, and desperate kick. The eagle's heavy, metallic body was launched forward like a jet plane that had suddenly received an unexpected extra boost from behind. It tumbled end over end, while crashing through the forest canopy until the sounds of snapping branches and startled wildlife faded into the distance.
Yin Zhe collapsed to the ground, while panting violently. His lungs felt scorched from the exertion and the smoke.
He had landed in a theatrical flourish, one knee bent, one knee supporting him on the damp earth, and his fist punching the mossy ground for a bit of stability.
"Superhero landing," he muttered under his breath. Then he let out a weak, and cynical chuckle escaped his lips. He was in too much pain to appreciate the drama fully, but the victory felt intoxicating.
