Only ten minutes remained in the match.
Nagi Seishiro walked over to Reo and suddenly said, "Reo, the match isn't over yet. I want to try..."
Reo's mouth was slightly agape; he didn't know what to say.
Scoring two goals in ten minutes was a fool's dream.
But one goal might still be possible... When he saw Nagi Seishiro's eyes, he silently stood up.
"Okay... let's try it."
Without a moment's pause.
The final attack was about to begin.
The V Team's morale had completely collapsed.
Many players were distracted, some even praying that the invitation to leave wouldn't land in their hands, while others had lost their composure and started desperately trying to steal the ball.
Reo, holding the ball, looked at his teammates, who were like tigers and leopards, with a somewhat twisted expression.
What was wrong with these people?!
Did they all want to score?
Seeing this, the Z Team understood that their opponents had fallen into the trap of Ego Jinpachi's earlier threat, their combat effectiveness plummeting.
The next second, the ball was passed directly to Nagi Seishiro.
He met Ye Liangqiu's gaze, but his body honestly avoided that direction.
Like a beast's danger sense, Nagi Seishiro knew he couldn't defeat this monster who was just like him, so he chose to break through others.
Suddenly, he stopped.
His gaze sharply turned to Ye Liangqiu... No... Why should I run away?
Was he really just a weak genius who needed to rely on others, as Ye Liangqiu said?
In an instant, he made a decision, even stunning Reo, who was watching from a distance, as he watched Nagi Seishiro charge towards Ye Liangqiu with the ball.
Reo knew what he wanted to do.
A head-on confrontation!
Seeming to sense Nagi Seishiro's burning fighting spirit, Ye Liangqiu spread his arms, taking a deep breath of the blood-scented pitch, "Come on, come on, let me see if the awakened you is worth me training and destroying step by step!"
"Nagi Seishiro, come and break me."
The next moment, the distance between them was only one meter.
The ball spun in the middle.
However, at that very instant, a figure emerged, Yoichi Isagi's pupils glowing with fire, "A monster's feast, how about I join?"
He took a step and directly intercepted the ball.
He turned and ran with the ball towards the opponent's goal.
Even Nagi Seishiro and Ye Liangqiu hadn't noticed this guy, who dared to directly steal the ball at that moment.
The killing intent in Ye Liangqiu's pupils was almost uncontrollable; he had finally waited for such an opportunity, only for it to be ruined like this... Indeed, he still hated this ability to predict the actions of the entire field.
Especially this extremely self-centered Yoichi Isagi!
"Hey, do you think you're really cool?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in Yoichi Isagi's ear, Kenshiro's eyes shimmering with an infuriating calmness.
The next second, he stole the ball.
Yoichi Isagi's pupils constricted; he had forgotten that his speed couldn't compare to this person's, and he was still running within this guy's interception range. Was it because he was too excited after stealing the ball from those two monsters?
But before he could even hesitate.
Kenshiro had already charged with the ball into the Z Team's penalty area.
At the same time, Nagi Seishiro moved, saying, "Pass it to me!"
Kenshiro was also surprised; it was the first time he had heard Nagi Seishiro ask him for the ball, and the first time he had heard Nagi Seishiro's request.
He slightly curved his lips, and the next second, he passed the ball out.
Nagi Seishiro received the ball again with a raised leg.
His gaze turned back to Ye Liangqiu once more, as if saying the previous battle wasn't over, then he charged towards the penalty area with the ball.
A feeling of annoyance also bloomed in Ye Liangqiu's crimson pupils, a group of annoying bugs.
But his body honestly retreated towards the goal to defend.
Yoichi Isagi watched the entire field; he had already noticed that the wind on the entire field seemed to have changed, with two terrifying presences drawing everyone into this madness.
In a match with a predetermined outcome, the V Team now only wanted to defeat one person.
And that person was Ye Liangqiu!
Raichi still wanted to stop Nagi Seishiro, but when he met his gaze, a feeling of unease surged in his heart, and he froze for a moment.
A nutmeg passed him by.
Nagi Seishiro continued to advance, as if he were facing a group of unconscious NPCs, he passed all the enemies in front of him with various tricks, as if saying, what Ye Liangqiu could do, he could also do.
Bachira, who was retreating to defend, also stopped. He glanced at the remaining time in the match; at most, only one goal could be scored, so he chose to watch. This was a head-on confrontation that belonged to just two people.
Nagi Seishiro had already reached his shooting range.
And at that moment, Ye Liangqiu's figure had appeared before him.
That extreme oppressive aura made Nagi Seishiro's entire body pause, but then he spoke, "You're too slow."
With a "bang" sound.
He kicked the ball in front of him.
However, with that one kick, the entire stadium fell silent.
In a brief instant, Ye Liangqiu's pupils reflected the ball's trajectory, and with a horizontal sweep, he kicked the ball away like a ping-pong ball.
"Did you think it was a guaranteed goal?"
"I'm sorry, you can't score."
Like a devil's whisper, spoken from Ye Liangqiu's mouth.
Nagi Seishiro's eyes widened... an unknown emotion rising from his heart made him stare fixedly at the goal, wondering what he was thinking...
And at that moment, the match was declared over.
The Z Team defeated the V Team by four points.
Cheers erupted throughout the stadium.
Ye Liangqiu grinned, then turned and walked towards the locker room. He had enjoyed this match...
Reo walked up to Nagi Seishiro, who was frozen in place, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
At this point, Nagi Seishiro said, "This is the first time I've experienced what losing feels like..."
"Reo, it turns out there are still interesting things in this world."
Only Reo understood what he meant... Perhaps it wasn't losing the match, but losing to someone.
On the screen, the advancing teams gradually began to appear.
The Z Team took first place with an overwhelming performance.
The V Team was second.
Followed by the top scorers from the three eliminated teams: Ma Lang, Niko, and Aomori Junichi.
Ultimately, five teams, a total of twenty-four people, advanced to the second stage.
The moment he saw "twenty-four" people, the monk even calculated it, looking terrified. This match truly eliminated one person, but the result wasn't announced.
But it had nothing to do with them anymore.
The Z Team advanced!
