When 'God' Decides To Start Over
Chapter 44 Isolated

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Isolated

After investigating the information related to God, Li Xiu discovered a serious problem.

During the time he left the Space City, "God" was consistently present, not only slaying invading demons but also attending numerous events.

"Is this a doppelgänger that Guan Jinghao found?" Li Xiu slightly frowned.

Li Xiu had never let anyone see his true form; people only knew of "God," not Li Xiu.

As long as one wears that set of Red Flower Magic Armor, anyone could become the nominal "God."

Guan Jinghao was the master of Space City and the actual owner of the Red Flower Magic Armor.

After all, Li Xiu’s relationship with the Space City was just cooperative. If Guan Jinghao were to tear up the cooperation agreement and reclaim the Red Flower Magic Armor, Li Xiu would have nothing to say.

An S-Class Magic Armor was nothing, Li Xiu didn’t care about it.

But the significance of Red Flower and God was different. He could forgo the names of Red Flower and God but could not tolerate Guan Jinghao using the name of God for evil, which would mean he was also an accomplice.

"Does the doppelgänger Guan Jinghao found have any relation to the person who massacred Haishi Town three years ago?" Li Xiu slightly squinted: "Things are getting more interesting, Guan Jinghao, what exactly are you planning?"

Although Space City was just a city, its overall strength was no less than the Southern Cross Alliance, and though it didn’t produce as many gemstones as the Southern Cross Alliance, it possessed the most advanced Magic Armor technology.

When it came to Magic Armor of the same level, the ones made in Space City were the best, especially those produced by Laboratory 1 of Space City, coveted by all Magic Armor Masters, giving Space City the nickname "Sanctuary of Magic Armor Masters."

As a new generation leader of Space City, Guan Jinghao had the ability to influence global dynamics; such a person would not make any decision lightly. Once he decided to do something, there must be his intention and purpose.

Originally, Li Xiu wanted to return as soon as possible, but now he wasn’t in such a hurry; he wanted to see what exactly Guan Jinghao intended to do.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu got up and went to the team’s training.

Upon arriving at the team, Li Xiu heard Fangzi say there was a match tomorrow and told him to prepare well, as he would start as the left winger.

A winger is actually a type of forward, just positioned on the wing, still an attacking position with many goal-scoring opportunities.

Due to the time constraints, Fangzi had Li Xiu and Pa Shan participate in the intra-squad match to get familiar with the other players quickly.

The goalkeeper seemed to work solo, but in reality, he needed to cooperate with the team; it’s just that Pa Shan’s nature was too solitary, along with his strong skills, making him not keen on dealing with teammates.

Except for Kun Sha, he would speak a few words to Li Xiu, but those words were always invitations for one-on-one confrontations with him.

Li Xiu didn’t bother him; he was not there to bicker with Pa Shan or to teach him football skills but to perform his best in tomorrow’s match, hoping to impress the Tyrone City Lord and get selected to participate in the Mad Ball Trial.

Such events had happened before; the Tyrone City Lord often selected players from various teams for the Mad Ball Trial, but no one knew when the next time the Tyrone City Lord would open the Mad Ball Trial Ground.

Li Xiu actively moved around the field but found that his teammates rarely passed the ball to him. As a winger, without the passes from the backfield and midfield teammates, how could he score goals?

Indeed, in one game, Li Xiu hardly touched the ball a few times and had no chances to take a shot.

"Fangzi, who is the left winger I replaced?" During the break, Li Xiu went to Fangzi and asked.

"Hehe, don’t mind; the team is just not familiar with you yet..." Fangzi’s words were cut off by Li Xiu.

"I’m a player you signed; you should give me the truth, right?"

Seeing no other players around, Fangzi whispered, "The left winger you replaced used to be the team’s big brother, taking good care of the newcomers. Almost all current players have received his help and maintained good relations. Unfortunately, he later got seriously injured at the Trial Ground, with recurring injuries affecting his performance. If he weren’t a team veteran and had contributed to the team previously, he wouldn’t have been allowed to play for long..."

Li Xiu nodded slightly after hearing this, matching his speculation that those players probably wouldn’t pass the ball to him.

During the afternoon training, the situation remained the same; Li Xiu still had few chances to hold the ball. Even when he got the ball, he was closely marked by more than two players, leaving him no chance to shoot and having to pass the ball away.

"Are these people kindergarten kids?" Li Xiu wasn’t angry, just watched everything happening calmly.

...

"How is the new player’s training situation?" Sha Chu’s slender fingers played with the glass, gently swirling the spirit with ice inside it.

"Pa Shan is doing well; although he doesn’t talk much with other players, his learning ability is excellent. Coupled with his freakish physical fitness, he shouldn’t have much problem. It’s Li Xiu’s side that has some issues. He hardly got to touch the ball on the field..." Fangzi mumbled.

"You mean, those players are isolating him and not passing him the ball, right?" Sha Chu said with a smile.

"Boss, why let him play left winger? With his talent, right winger or forward would be no problem. The guy on the right doesn’t have great relations; letting Li Xiu play as the right winger wouldn’t have these issues." Fangzi eventually couldn’t hold back his thoughts.

"What do you think of Li Xiu’s skills?" Sha Chu did not directly answer Fangzi’s question.

"In Baal’s words, technically, he’s a monster. From today’s training, I found not only is his shooting technique excellent, but his vision is also wide, with strong off-the-ball movement and dribbling. Aside from weak physical confrontation and inadequate speed, he’s almost perfect. But his skills can compensate for these issues; given the right opportunities, he’d definitely become the brightest presence on the field." Fangzi’s estimation of Li Xiu kept rising.

"Then?" Sha Chu asked with interest.

"Then what?" Fangzi was stunned, asking cluelessly.

"The Mad Ball Trial Ground will open the S-Class Trial in the latter half of the month. Given his flamboyant nature, do you think the City Lord would overlook him?" Sha Chu said coldly.

Hearing Sha Chu’s words, Fangzi shuddered and exclaimed, "The S-Class Mad Ball Trial is really going to start?"

"Zheng Xiu is the City Lord’s cousin; why do you think she sent Pa Shan to the team at this time? Besides Pa Shan’s own will, it’s because Zheng Xiu wants Pa Shan to join this S-Class Mad Ball Trial." Sha Chu snorted.

Fangzi’s eyes lit up: "I understand now; boss, you intend to protect Li Xiu so he doesn’t have to participate in this S-Class Mad Ball Trial. Boss, you indeed are a living Bodhisattva, possessing both a compassionate heart and strategic wisdom."

"Having gotten such an ace for free, of course, I need him for a year or two before considering anything else. How could I let him go send himself to death like this?" Sha Chu laughed.
