It was Hiori Yo who took the kickoff this time.
He recalled Ye Liangqiu's words from earlier: Itoshi Rin was someone who possessed the same weapon as him, which meant spatial awareness. Although it wasn't evident in their previous clash, he could tell that Itoshi Rin's ball skills were excellent.
And Yi Sheng's jumping ability and body flexibility were incredibly exaggerated.
Lastly, there was Tokimitsu. Although this guy hadn't made any dazzling moves, he was able to contend with Ye Liangqiu in terms of strength, and at the moment of the ball steal in the third match... his instinctive reactions were incredibly strong.
All the information was now piecing together into images in Hiori Yo's mind.
The path to the goal seemed to have been determined.
Hiori Yo opened his eyes and looked at the opposing goal, "Here, what I can do is have a spectacular showdown with these monsters."
"If Karasu were here... his thoughts would probably be the same as mine."
Itoshi Rin seemed to sense a hint of danger, and his eyebrow twitched.
Another one...
Just then, Hiori Yo seemed to hear Nagi Seishiro's voice, "Soccer really is interesting... Ye Liangqiu, you seem to be right, there are many geniuses in this world, but above geniuses, there are even more powerful geniuses."
"Thanks to you... Ye Liangqiu."
"Next, I'll make it even more interesting."
As the whistle blew.
Hiori Yo nudged the soccer ball, his mind filled with ways to score. His eyes observed everything on the field, including his teammates' movements.
He clearly knew that on his side, there was an absolutely powerful human weapon.
As long as a tiny opportunity was given, Ye Liangqiu would not be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
Then this match would be simple and clear: as long as he created a shooting opportunity for Ye Liangqiu... then this goal would be scored!
Itoshi Rin sneered; what others could know, he naturally knew too. The most dangerous person on this field was Ye Liangqiu. Sometimes, the roles between hunter and prey could switch at any moment.
"[Indeed, when I see players with spatial awareness as a weapon, one thing comes to mind: Qiu Bao is truly a spatial player harvester.]"
"[The one upstairs is joking. You also have to consider that in BLUE LOCK, our Qiu Bao almost always has players with world-class talent as teammates or opponents in every match. To say who understands them best, it's probably only this Soccer Field Demon King.]"
"[After all, these players are naturally his nemesis... But if they become his teammates, who wouldn't subconsciously make him the team's main offense? The scoring ability still belongs to my Qiu Bao!]"
The comments were lively.
Everyone's movements on the field were constantly changing.
Hiori Yo confronted Itoshi Rin again, neither giving way...
Just then, Nagi Seishiro, who had been left unmarked, rushed out. He hooked the ball away with one foot, his body extremely agile as he moved away from their confrontation, then quickly dashed towards the penalty area.
And Yi Sheng was also rapidly approaching him.
Nagi Seishiro's eyes were calm, "I've seen through you."
"You can't stop me."
Yi Sheng extended his arm, blocking Nagi Seishiro's body and slowing him down, "I only need to stop you for a moment."
Itoshi Rin and Hiori Yo were seen rushing over.
"Damn it, you clingy pest, can't you just get lost!" Killing intent almost overflowed from Ye Liangqiu's eyes. This Tokimitsu was truly like a leech stuck to him, constantly hindering his progress.
"No, no... if I let you pass, everyone will say I'm useless."
Tokimitsu's constant mumbling annoyed Ye Liangqiu. If he wasn't afraid of getting a red card, he would have punched him already.
However, at this moment, Nagi Seishiro was unusually calm.
He could clearly see the path to the goal, but this path was full of uncertainty.
In the instant he hesitated, Yi Sheng's long, slender leg tried to thread under Nagi Seishiro's crotch to kick the ball away, but since their heights were similar, his leg advantage was almost nullified.
"I feel it, the scent of inspiration."
Suddenly, Nagi Seishiro looked and saw that at some point, Hiori Yo had moved towards the penalty area first, when Itoshi Rin was running and unable to see the movements behind him.
Did he think he would pass this ball?
Itoshi Rin seemed to notice Nagi Seishiro's gaze and immediately understood everything.
But it was too late.
With a "thump."
Nagi Seishiro seemed to be returning the favor from the previous match, sending a high lob pass flying into the penalty area.
Hiori Yo looked at the ball flying towards him and smiled, but suddenly his body stiffened, as if he felt a terrifying aura coming from behind him.
A faint, dark fire seemed to burn in Itoshi Rin's pupils, "Do you really think I didn't see it?"
"Everything you can see, I know. This was all to lure you in..."
Suddenly, Hiori Yo's startled expression vanished, replaced by a triumphant one. His eyes became incredibly sharp, "Lured in? Who exactly got lured in?"
"Itoshi Rin, you're not the only one who can control the flow of the field!"
"Right, my long-restless Demon King!"
Hiori Yo had anticipated the ball's trajectory, and with a gentle kick to the left, the ball arced through the air.
At the same time, a figure, as if bursting forth from hell, had already arrived in front of the ball.
In the instant before the ball landed.
A thunderous "boom" sounded.
It was as if the ball was about to explode, twisting at extreme speed. Even the auxiliary goalkeeper didn't react in time before the shot was successful.
Ye Liangqiu stood still, arms outstretched, revealing a terrifying smile.
Itoshi Rin was dumbfounded; wasn't he blocked?
Why did he suddenly appear here?
At this moment, Tokimitsu only arrived, panting heavily...
Ye Liangqiu looked at Itoshi Rin and slowly said, "Blocked?"
"You tsundere, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Trying to block me with Tokimitsu, isn't that too naive?"
"Use your pig brain to think properly. In the face of absolute strength, all your calculations and predictions are just guesses... In reality, they are all bubbles that I can crush at will."
Only Yi Sheng and Nagi Seishiro, who had been moving towards the goal the entire time, saw everything.
That burst of power and speed instantly elevated by a notch. The moment everyone was focused on the ball, Ye Liangqiu had already broken free from Tokimitsu's control. He was like lightning, rapidly approaching the goal, as if he smelled the scent of a goal.
"This monster is even cooler than me."
