Countless afterimages continuously formed routes before his eyes, turning into one offensive path after another.
Ye Liangqiu's movements became faster and faster; although they were only subtle actions, Aiku couldn't grasp what he intended to do.
In an instant, by the time Aiku reacted, it was already too late.
Ye Liangqiu hooked the ball backward with his left foot, then quickly received it with his right, displaying a flawless link-up, and immediately stepped on the ball for a Marseille Roulette. The speed was so fast that Aiku couldn't keep up.
But as a professional player, facing such a quick dribble,
his body subconsciously turned.
However, Ye Liangqiu's speed did not slow down because of him. From the side, On Ryu, who was observing the defense, surged with bolts of lightning and charged towards Ye Liangqiu.
"Too slow!" Ye Liangqiu's lips curled into a smile. "I will tear apart the defense of you bunch of wastes, piece by piece."
In an instant, the goal route in his Demon King's Eye was perfectly displayed before him.
At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on him; the fans' gazes seemed to want to devour and consume him bit by bit.
Ye Liangqiu's lips parted, and in a tyrannical tone, he slowly spoke, "What is wailing?"
"What is despair?"
"This match was never fair. I'm not saying we're unfair, but rather that you wastes haven't fully understood what kind of place Blue Lock is."
"Devour, consume, destroy... I don't want to see a fleeting victory."
"Instead, I want to utterly crush your team on this stage!"
"After ninety minutes, I only want to hear one sound in this match: wailing!"
With a "thud."
Inside the penalty area, Ye Liangqiu slowly lifted his left foot, the tyrannical killing intent in his eyes almost tangible. The next moment, the ball transformed into a black bullet and shot towards the goal, his Beyond Vision rapidly expanding.
Everything was rapidly receding.
Two defenders formed a wall to try and block the shot. Aiku watched the ball rush towards the goal, initially thinking it was a high ball. However, an unexpected turn occurred... it was a knuckleball!
With a perfect arc, the ball did not follow its original trajectory for the shot.
Instead, it floated gently into the goal.
At this sight, the entire stadium fell silent.
Ye Liangqiu spread his arms, his eyes slightly closed, revealing a smile, seemingly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
The next second, an overwhelming chorus of curses and cheers erupted.
But compared to the cheers, there were more curses. Countless harsh sounds echoed in their ears; they were cursing Ye Liangqiu for provoking the team they supported. Wasn't that like slapping the faces of these fans?
Even the drone captured the moment the goal was scored.
Although Ye Liangqiu's words were a bit chaotic, with special noise reduction, everyone clearly heard those few sentences.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the stadium ignited.
Many U20 National Team fans even wanted to rush onto the field and get into a brawl with Ye Liangqiu.
However, the broadcast focused on Ye Liangqiu's face. At this moment, he had opened his eyes, and his captivating red eyes seemed to meet everyone's gaze, followed by a smile.
It was as if none of this affected him.
But the atmosphere within the U20 National Team seemed to have completely changed.
After all, Ye Liangqiu wasn't just mocking them anymore; he was threatening their livelihoods. If they really lost to these kids here, it might indeed be as he said, and the U20 National Team would be completely annihilated in the future.
This era would be changed by Blue Lock.
Aiku, as the captain, quickly gathered the players. He had to remind all the players to stay calm; it was just one goal conceded...
Besides, this first goal didn't signify anything.
After all, in professional matches, players usually maintain good composure; it's not like basketball where players start cursing at each other mid-game.
"Try to conserve your stamina." Itoshi Rin wiped his sweat and looked at Ye Liangqiu, speaking. Although his tone was somewhat cold, it was evident that this goal had significantly improved his mood, and he even began to remind Ye Liangqiu.
"You don't need to tell me, I know." Ye Liangqiu responded nonchalantly. How could he not know this was a long-term battle?
Explosive goals would consume stamina very quickly.
Moreover, he didn't like to link up with others, so once he got the ball, he rarely passed it. It wasn't that he didn't trust others, but that his eyes could clearly see the ball's path. Rather than passing to others, it was better for him to break through himself.
This was the scoring method of an extremist.
However, the stamina consumed was also doubled.
After all, one person entering the penalty area is a different concept from cooperating with teammates.
Furthermore, this match wasn't a miniature 5v5 Blue Lock-specific field. Ninety minutes of running would probably exhaust an ordinary person.
Itoshi Rin gave Ye Liangqiu a faint glance. "I just don't want the core to fall first in the end."
"After all, the entire system revolves around you."
"If you can't do it, you'll sit on the bench."
"Heh..." Ye Liangqiu sneered. "You tsundere, did you start wanting to show off and put on a clown show after seeing your brother?"
"I'm sorry, but in this stadium right now, I seem to be the ace."
As the two bickered, the commentator began to replay the moment of the last goal. "Although it's slow motion, you can still see that Ye Liangqiu's shooting position was very poor."
"To be precise, he was almost surrounded by U20 National Team defenders. If he had been even a second later, this ball might have been snatched away."
"However, under such high pressure, Ye Liangqiu still managed to shoot such a perfect goal."
The commentator loudly explained the details, but also raised the first question: why did Ye Liangqiu choose a knuckleball for his final shot?
He could have clearly used a better method, a straight shot, a powerful spinning shot.
But he specifically used a knuckleball...
Ye Liangqiu in the stadium sneered. Did they have to pretend to be ignorant about such an obvious point?
These commentators were truly ruthless... Didn't they just want him to say those words himself and then ignite an even more fervent atmosphere in the stadium?
Now the U20 National Team fans wanted to tear him apart immediately.
"I think I've roughly understood your movements." Suddenly, a voice sounded. Itoshi Sae walked past Ye Liangqiu, his eyes still emotionless, but he seemed to have seen through something.
Ye Liangqiu, of course, knew that this guy's eyes had evolved through continuous development into "Beyond Vision."
Which was Itoshi Rin promax.
Speaking of which, this guy hadn't made a move yet. Was he observing his movements from the sidelines?
