As if they had a telepathic connection, both of them shifted their gazes simultaneously.
At this moment, the screen had not yet closed, and no one immediately began the third test. Ego Jinpachi's cold gaze swept over everyone.
"Compared to the second test, the reason the third test is a solo battle is also because there are some who enjoy the benefits brought by their teammates, yet still believe that their own strength is what brought them here."
"I apologize, but this test is specifically for such people."
"Don't you think you're very strong?"
"Then let me see if you can make it to the end of these five stages. Be prepared."
"In this test, those self-righteous trash will be eliminated first."
"Only true strong individuals can remain in this stage."
Immediately, the entire venue was filled with noisy whispers. Ye Liangqiu glanced at the group behind him and chuckled lightly, thinking, 'The culling has already begun. As for you parasites who constantly rely on strong individuals... what will you do?'
Just as he was about to enter the large door.
A figure was already standing at the entrance.
Itoshi Rin looked back at Ye Liangqiu, his cold eyes as arrogant as ever. As the door opened, he walked in.
And on the large screen, his name appeared.
Almost everyone familiar with this surname instantly recognized that this guy's name was very similar to Itoshi Sae, one of the New Ten Prodigies...
Immediately after, just a second before Ye Liangqiu entered, he looked back at Bachira and Yoichi Isagi, slowly speaking, "The next game has just begun, Bachira, Xiao Shi Yi, I look forward to your evolution, and I look forward to you coming step by step to crush my ideas."
With that said, he had already walked into the dark passage.
Outside, Bachira and Yoichi Isagi exchanged glances.
Yoichi Isagi felt a chill in his body. He had a clear understanding of Ye Liangqiu's strength. He looked around and found that many others around him also exuded a suffocating sense of pressure.
"Alone?"
"That means the subsequent tests are very likely to be individual battles... My opponents are these monsters?"
Bachira, however, walked towards the door indifferently, "Then, Yoichi Isagi, see you inside."
.....
Yawning, Ye Liangqiu entered the first experimental scenario. His eyes looked at the virtual humanoid players, and he couldn't help but marvel at the advanced technology of this world, being able to create such things. In fact, he had long discovered that this world had a great fondness for sports.
Even in most countries around the world, the development of sports far exceeded the intensity of his previous life. In this world, they were striving with all their might to turn athletes into weapons for the battlefield.
Because "sports competitions" were battlefields.
So every country put some effort into this.
He glanced again at the countdown timer on the wall.
Apparently, the game rule was to score one hundred goals in 90 minutes.
For him, it was not difficult, even very simple....
Ye Liangqiu stepped on the ball, and the next second, with a "bang," the ball was kicked out. With immense force, the virtual figure barely reacted before the ball had already gone in.
A stage testing shooting technique. With his current strength, it was not difficult.
...
In the monitoring room.
Ego Jinpachi looked at the players training on the screen, showing a somewhat unsatisfactory expression, seemingly a little disappointed.
Anri held a notebook, recording data, and said, "As expected, many people will be eliminated starting from this stage. Did you anticipate this?"
Ego Jinpachi chuckled, "Some people only came to this stage by luck, but luck might be somewhat useful outside, but it's useless here."
"I only need strong individuals here."
Anri sighed, "Then I'll say a few more words, Mr. Ego, we built this Blue Lock, plus the various expenses for the players, and the development of equipment... I'm afraid we've run out of budget."
"The future development of Blue Lock... I'm afraid..."
Ego Jinpachi stared intently at the screen, not refuting. He looked as if he was watching his own child, hands clasped, "This is the space I want."
"Based on the individual differences of the players, we will overcome their inner selfish desires. These ninety minutes are meant to filter out players who came here relying on luck."
"But for some forwards who are starting from scratch, this is a place to refine their weapons."
"And the moment these players, who have thoroughly mastered their weapons and are using them at every moment, walk out of this room, they will already be New Dimensional Forwards."
"That is the person I want to create!"
"Have it your way..." Anri, seeing Ego's unyielding demeanor, also felt a bit helpless, "I'll try to figure out a solution for the funding issue."
"But I still hope you'll consider this matter."
Saying that, she took a document from the table and handed it to Ego Jinpachi, on which only a few words were written: "Match Agreement."
Ego Jinpachi chuckled, "You don't need to show me this. In a while, the world will discover us."
"No... it should be said that the world will discover them."
"Mr. Ego, you're really confident."
.....
Meanwhile, in the training ground.
With each shot, Ye Liangqiu gradually developed a little interest in this training. He originally thought his training would be like Yoichi Isagi's, with the ball shooting out from a dispenser.
However, it wasn't entirely the same...
Why was his difficulty somewhat problematic?
Had the highest difficulty become a demonic difficulty?
He saw five dummies moving in front of the goal, and even two goalkeepers appeared.
"Is this the so-called experimental training?"
"You're really something, Ego Jinpachi..." Even Ye Liangqiu felt the pressure; he couldn't leave this training without using his own weapons.
Eyes, strength, speed, shooting accuracy, ball control... almost everything was included here.
How long had these data-playing people in the monitoring room been observing him during this time, and how much of his weapons had they analyzed?
"But, none of that matters!"
"What matters is how to end this damn training!" Ye Liangqiu looked at the moving dummies in front of him and the goalkeepers standing still like statues. The next second, he rushed out, the Demon King's Eye in his pupils emitting a crimson glow, constantly capturing various pieces of information.
Until this thing finally ended....
Ye Liangqiu was so exhausted that he just lay flat on the ground. Why was his training different from others?
If this training method were given to anyone in Z Team, they would probably struggle to get through it even with a whole day.
Thinking of this, he directly looked at the camera in the corner, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.
"There's no need to use this method to continue testing my strength."
"You'll see what happens next."
