Bachira acted as if he hadn't seen him.
His gaze was fixed on Ye Liangqiu, who had already positioned himself in front of him; he couldn't possibly match his speed.
As their eyes met, the expression on Bachira's face finally changed, and he whispered, "Qiu, are you giving up on me?"
Ye Liangqiu remained silent, his Demon King's Eye already seeing through Bachira's movements.
Every step he took, every calculation, was laid bare before his eyes.
Even without using his Demon King's Eye, Ye Liangqiu understood Bachira very well. He clearly knew where this guy's limits were and what his next move would be.
Their movements were so fast that the Monk couldn't comprehend their meaning at all.
Ye Liangqiu extended his leg, intending to intercept the ball, but then retracted it with extreme speed the next second. Bachira, however, seemed not to be afraid of these movements at all, clearly knowing that Ye Liangqiu was merely feinting.
One tried to steal, the other moved, appearing very incongruous, but these were only superficial phenomena; in reality, there was an undercurrent of tension.
One side would be intercepted or passed if they weren't careful.
Bachira knew he couldn't delay. After a brief Stunned, Itoshi Rin snorted coldly and was already heading towards the goal, while Nagi Seishiro, relying on his flexibility, quickly rushed forward.
It was a three-pronged attack.
Bachira's pupils stared at Ye Liangqiu's eyes, which were filled with tyranny. In an instant, he made a move that astonished everyone. In that situation, he pressed the ball with his left foot and powerfully kicked with his right, directly trapping the ball.
The next second, the ball flew out from his side.
Rainbow Flick.
However, Ye Liangqiu's Demon King's Eye had already seen through his movements. He took a step back, even seeing where the ball would land.
Just then, a phantom suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Shidou Ryusei had arrived in the three-person melee zone at some unknown point.
His jumping height was incredibly exaggerated; his entire body was like a stretched bow.
With a "bang."
While still in the air, the ball was shot out with a powerful strike.
All the players around the ball could even hear a violent roar.
Shidou Ryusei fell onto the field, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
No one had expected this monster to be able to achieve such a feat... He truly was a non-human entity in the penalty area.
The score reached 2:2.
Itoshi Rin looked at Ye Liangqiu and said, "You went easy just now, didn't you?"
Ye Liangqiu shrugged. "I couldn't stop that ball."
"I'm not talking about that goal." Itoshi Rin frowned deeply. "When you were confronting that Kappa just now, there were at least five opportunities to steal the ball, but I only saw you try once, and you even pulled back that time."
"I don't think you would back down."
"So, you went easy, didn't you?"
Ye Liangqiu gave Itoshi Rin a glare. "I just wanted to see if he had improved at all in such a short time."
"However, it was much higher than I expected."
Saying this, Ye Liangqiu grinned. "Next, they won't score another goal."
"Will you cooperate with me?"
"Cooperate?" Itoshi Rin looked disdainful. "It's more like you cooperate with me."
Veins popped on both their faces simultaneously; they wished they could punch each other right then.
Shidou Ryusei rubbed Bachira's head and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... As expected, you stupid Kappa little monster, you have a very strong ball sense... To be able to make such a move in that situation."
"Did you smell that scent of scoring?"
Bachira remained silent... turning to walk back to his position.
Kurona Ranze also noticed that Bachira seemed a bit distracted since the start of the match, so he asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Shidou Ryusei raised an eyebrow. "I don't know."
"Perhaps he was simply refreshed by my extraordinary demeanor."
Σσ(・Д・;) Kurona Ranze, he then turned to the Monk, "You used to be on the same team as him, right?"
"What's wrong with him?"
The Monk scratched his head. "I don't recall Bachira ever being in such a state, but that was when he was with Ye Liangqiu on the opposing team."
|ू･ω･` ) Kurona Ranze seemed to understand something.
However, the match continued.
The kickoff came to Ye Liangqiu. The fusion rate of his Demon King's Eye seemed to have reached fifty percent after entering the FLOW state.
The duration also increased to 1.75 seconds.
The afterimages behind everyone on the field grew longer and longer.
He could clearly see everyone's next moves, and sometimes even the trajectory of the ball flying through the air.
The next second, he moved.
Ye Liangqiu dashed directly towards the goal with the ball, at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, all the players began to move.
Shidou Ryusei had long wanted to confront someone as crazy as himself head-on. However, the moment he truly got close to Ye Liangqiu, he seemed to feel his body slow down significantly.
No... it wasn't that he slowed down, it was that the opponent was too fast.
Ye Liangqiu's crimson eyes seemed indifferent to his advance. The afterimages in his pupils tried to see through everything. He casually flicked the ball, quickly performing a chip-over dribble.
Before Shidou Ryusei could react, he only saw Ye Liangqiu running behind him, and he immediately followed.
In terms of explosive power, he was not weak...
At the same time, Bachira and Kurona Ranze also moved forward to cover, flanking Ye Liangqiu like guardians, one on the left and one on the right. What they didn't expect was...
Ye Liangqiu suddenly passed the ball.
A figure suddenly appeared in front from their blind spot.
Itoshi Rin's face was full of disdain. "Cooperation? Is this what you call cooperation?"
But his body was very honest and directly received the ball, then quickly ran towards the goal. The Monk on the other side had also moved into position to defend.
Seeing the terrifying aura around Itoshi Rin, his expression grew increasingly tense.
At the same time, Hiori Yo and Nagi Seishiro also entered the penalty area.
They formed a triangular encirclement, a scene very similar to when Bachira entered the penalty area just now, but it was the Monk instead.
However, Kurona Ranze also quickly moved into position to defend, matching their speed.
Itoshi Rin chuckled softly, looking at Kurona Ranze, who had suddenly darted in front of him like a small shark, and slowly said, "You really don't understand anything, do you?"
"You don't even know how to use your eyes."
The next second, he kicked the ball with the back of his foot to the right, and the ball arced towards Kurona Ranze.
At this moment, a figure, as if entwined with countless withered bones, burst out from between the two of them.
To Kurona Ranze's disbelieving shock,
Ye Liangqiu directly lifted his leg and struck a powerful shot.
With a "bang."
The ball went directly into the net, scoring a goal.
(╬◣д◢) Kurona Ranze's expression was somewhat frozen; this was akin to snatching a piece of meat right in front of him.
He just looked at it, and it was gone?
Ye Liangqiu panted, looking at Itoshi Rin's arrogant demeanor. An unaware person would think he had just passed a great ball, but in reality, if he hadn't been fast enough, this ball would have been given directly to the opponent.
"This is what you call cooperation?"
