Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Bird in a Cage

The air seemed to solidify…

A vein bulged on Itoshi Rin's cheek, and the killing intent in his eyes was palpable; he seemed to have completely fallen into a rage just because of that sentence.

"Very good… very good…"

"Your name is Ye Liangqiu, isn't it?"

"From now on, I will crush you."

"Oh really?" Ye Liangqiu showed no weakness, the crimson in his pupils growing stronger, "Then let's see if I crush you, or if you defeat me."

"You tsundere."

Witnessing the mutual greetings between the two.

Hiori Yo was still immersed in that previous shot; the world he saw was different from others.

He clearly noticed.

The moment Ye Liangqiu kicked that ball, everyone else didn't react, but Itoshi Rin did. He instinctively wanted to block the shot.

Unfortunately, Ye Liangqiu seemed to have observed that too.

So he changed the ball's trajectory.

This means that in just an instant, the reactions and movements of the two… no one present had anticipated or observed them.

This was their first direct confrontation.

Ye Liangqiu won the first round.

"Are they both gods?" Hiori Yo couldn't help but murmur, knowing he definitely couldn't kick a ball like Ye Liangqiu did.

Most importantly, he wasn't that bold…

To shoot directly from the kickoff…

His innocent gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Liangqiu, who was still exchanging words with Itoshi Rin.

This… guy, is truly ridiculously strong.

However, the whistle soon blew again.

Possession went to Itoshi Rin, who looked at Ye Liangqiu with disdain, as if he controlled the entire field.

The next moment, he moved.

He dribbled directly towards Ye Liangqiu.

As if intending a direct confrontation.

But in the very next second, he passed the ball to Tokimitsu, who was on the left side and about to face Hiori.

Hiori hadn't reacted yet.

As Tokimitsu received the ball, he muttered something softly… and dribbled directly into Hiori.

Hiori tried to block with his arm.

But the moment he touched Tokimitsu's body, it was like hitting a rock.

With a "bang."

Hiori was directly pushed back by the powerful force, almost falling. He looked at Tokimitsu, who was dribbling and running, a bit bewildered, "This guy… his body is so heavy, like a mass of water."

"He's unstoppable!"

Itoshi Rin sneered, using his agile footwork to try and get past Ye Liangqiu. Everything was within his precise calculations; he clearly knew the immense physical strength of Tokimitsu.

Facing anyone, it would likely be difficult to break through his defense or stop his offense.

Moreover, this was a three-person match.

Tokimitsu's advantage was maximized.

With him cutting into the inner field.

This shot…

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted.

Ye Liangqiu's dangerous eyes stared directly at Itoshi Rin, "Hey, you tsundere, you're not trying to enter the penalty area to receive this pass, are you?"

"Your idea will probably fall through."

At this moment, Ye Liangqiu also roughly understood what was on this guy's mind. After all, with their current lineup, facing such a physical monster on the opposing team, only he could probably deal with Tokimitsu.

But… he also figured out a bit of Itoshi Rin's tsundere thoughts.

Instantly, all the people in front of Ye Liangqiu appeared as afterimages.

Including Itoshi Rin, who was trying to use small movements to shake him off.

Ye Liangqiu grinned. It didn't matter who scored; he was going to butt heads with this tsundere today.

Overlooking the entire field? Or predicting the ball's landing spot?

All shots are premised on whether a person can reach the ball's landing spot.

However, although his Demon King's Eye cannot "overlook" the movements of everyone on the field, when dealing with a single person, once he targets them…

Unless they can defeat him head-on with superior physical ability and technique.

Otherwise… there's absolutely no escaping.

Ye Liangqiu's whisper echoed in Itoshi Rin's ear.

"Do you know what a caged bird is?"

"Right now, you can't move an inch."

"Forget about others passing to you… even if you receive a pass, you won't escape my grasp."

"Damn it!" The violent aura in Itoshi Rin's pupils surged even more. He used every ounce of his strength, yet he couldn't break through Ye Liangqiu's defense.

Why couldn't he trick him?

Could this guy's eyes… predict his movements?

At this moment, he wanted to tear Ye Liangqiu apart.

While these two were 'lovingly' confronting each other here…

On the other side, Hiori Yo had already reacted and quickly returned to defense.

Yi Sheng and Nagi Seishiro also rushed towards Tokimitsu.

In terms of speed alone, the two were evenly matched.

Just as Tokimitsu was about to shoot.

Nagi Seishiro extended his foot first, directly kicking the ball away.

"Ah! I messed up!" Tokimitsu was still muttering, but his gaze was fixed on the flying ball.

At the same time, Yi Sheng grinned, "Watch closely, this is about to be the most magnificent shot!"

Taking advantage of the moment Nagi Seishiro lost his balance after kicking the ball, he sprinted out the next instant.

He directly caught the ball as it rebounded off the wall.

Under everyone's gaze, Yi Sheng performed a spin on the spot.

The moment the ball approached.

Only a "thump" was heard.

A magnificent, powerful shot.

The ball's arc was perfect, soaring directly into the goal.

Yi Sheng leaped up excitedly, "Magnificent, perfect… I am the strongest."

Hiori Yo and Nagi Seishiro also stopped in front of the goal, wiping sweat from their faces.

It had only been less than ten minutes since the start.

Their stamina was being depleted much faster than in regular matches…

Hiori Yo could even feel his heart beating faster and faster… was it because he was with these monsters that he was excited?

From his perspective, it was clear.

Everyone on this field… was a terrifying monster.

At this moment, Nagi Seishiro patted Hiori's shoulder, bringing his thoughts back.

"That guy's body flexibility is really strong."

"But… I should be able to do that much too."

(;^_^A Hiori Yo.

Itoshi Rin snorted. It was supposed to be his perfect shot, but it was forcefully stopped by that red-eyed demon.

His mood was getting worse and worse at this moment.

Every time he saw Ye Liangqiu's face, he wanted to go over and step on it a couple of times.

Ye Liangqiu also sneered, looking at his back.

Let's see whose prediction is better.

Or whose ability to see the future is better.

Let's try…

This match has just begun…

Hiori Yo stroked his chin, his large eyes constantly observing Ye Liangqiu and Nagi Seishiro. He needed to integrate into this team. He had already become the weak point of this team; if he couldn't integrate…

He would be worthless.

Even if they lost to the opponents among these monsters, he probably wouldn't be chosen.

Moreover, the breakthrough point was on him, so the opponent's targeting would definitely come at him… just like "Crow," tightly focusing on a weakness and slowly breaking it down.

[It seems Hiori has already discovered. Although it's unclear why Qiu Bao chose him for this team's configuration, it was mentioned in his inner thoughts before that this guy possesses the same spatial awareness as Jie Bao. His role won't be small.]

[Not listening, not listening, Rin's stock is soaring!]

[Shut up above, Qiu's stock is stable to this day, and those traitors who oppose Qiu and restore Rin will soon be suppressed!]
