Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Achieving the Goal

"Such splendid ball skills! It’s a pity that his physique is indeed lacking." Zheng De said.

"The ball skills are great, but in a match requiring strong physical confrontation, his skills might not even get a chance to shine." Zheng Xiu echoed.

"Perhaps, but such ball skills are pleasing and delightful, aren’t they?" Kun Sha didn’t argue with them, merely smiled as he spoke.

"Indeed, they’re delightful. Such ball skills are unmatched within Tyrone City." Zheng De nodded in agreement.

The match continued, and perhaps that astonishing goal from Li Xiu earned him some respect from his teammates, as occasionally they passed the ball to him in the following game.

Whenever Li Xiu received the ball, the fans of the Madmen team would immediately cheer.

However, Li Xiu did not perform another strong attack again because as soon as he got the ball, two opposing players immediately came to trap him, defending quite aggressively, with a real possibility of taking him down if not careful.

After stopping the ball, Li Xiu seemed to start up quickly, but as the two opponents closed in, he suddenly made a cross.

The football drew an arc, slicing through the wall of defenders, landing right at Baal’s feet, which was so comfortably placed that it almost made Baal moan with satisfaction, and without hesitation, he immediately shot the ball.

The football thundered into the goal like an angry missile, far too late for the opposing goalkeeper to react.

Baal tore off his shirt, exposing muscles like black iron, and roared at the sky while furiously swinging his fist.

The fans of the Madmen team joined in the excitement, today they were thrilled.

Li Xiu got more chances with the ball, almost becoming the nightmare of the Green Demons’ defense line.

His terrifying skills, wide vision, and precise long passes.

When you specifically double-team him, he finds opportunities to pass to other forwards and midfielders, but if you don’t, Li Xiu will break through quickly.

The Green Demons’ defense line was turned upside down, seldom did the football even cross the midfield; the Madmen team completely dominated.

By halftime, the score was three to zero; had Li Xiu’s few surgical precise passes not been wasted by teammates, the score would have been even higher.

Li Xiu himself scored one goal, assisted Baal in two, although he did not score as much as Baal, everyone could see that Li Xiu was the main star of this match.

"This No.13 is simply a born leader on the field." Zheng De remarked, looking thoroughly impressed.

"That’s the charm of soccer; it’s not just about who has more strength or speed. Those are merely basic conditions; beyond that, a player also needs the heart of a champion and real skills." Kun Sha said.

"Truly charming, it makes me want to get on the field and kick a ball too." Zheng De laughed, "However, his physique still has some issues; it’d be even better if it were stronger."

"That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?" Kun Sha asked.

"Indeed, it’s not a problem." Zheng De laughed heartily at the remark.

The second half of the game was without suspense; the Madmen team enjoyed a thrilling victory with a score of five to zero, a level of performance they hadn’t seen in some time.

Li Xiu and Baal shared all of the goals, with Baal scoring three for a hat-trick while Li Xiu netted two.

Additionally, Pa Shan’s performance was noteworthy; if it weren’t for Li Xiu’s presence, he might have been the best player of the match.

The Green Demons’ attempts at counterattacks were all effortlessly parried by him, ensuring the Madmen team’s goal remained unbreached.

"You’re really good." After the match ended, Baal proactively greeted Li Xiu.

The relationship between the other players and Li Xiu also became considerably more harmonious.

Capabilities earn respect, no matter where one goes.

Back on their home field, the chubby manager with a gloomy face called Li Xiu over.

"Li Xiu, how come you are so clueless? Come on, the boss wants to see you." The chubby man sighed as he walked forward.

"Isn’t it good that the team won the match?" Li Xiu smiled.

"It’s good the team won, but you... forget it... let the boss tell you himself..." The chubby manager shook his head and did not continue.

Li Xiu roughly guessed that his performance probably really caught the attention of the Tyrone City Lord, and it looks like he’ll be heading to the Mad Ball Trial Gate sooner than anticipated.

Originally, Li Xiu thought he needed to play a few more games to catch the City Lord’s attention, but now it seems that won’t be necessary.

"Li Xiu, please sit." Sha Chu directed Li Xiu to the sofa, signaling the chubby man to pour him a cup of coffee.

"Boss, why did you call me here?" Li Xiu asked, knowing full well.

"You’ve accomplished what you came to the team for; the City Lord invites you to join his team. Depart in ten days for the Mad Ball Trial Ground, but before that, you’ll need to gather for training a few days earlier." Sha Chu paused briefly before continuing, "However, I don’t know whether this will be a blessing or a curse for you."

"Why would it be a curse?" Li Xiu asked, puzzled.

"This trial is at the S-level." Sha Chu didn’t beat around the bush, stating the answer directly.

"S-level?" Li Xiu was slightly startled; he hadn’t expected this.

"Yes, S-level. Of the two teams participating in the S-level Mad Ball Trial, only one can emerge alive, and that is the best-case scenario. If the teams draw, then no one comes out alive. More terrifyingly, even if one wins, survival is not guaranteed."

Chu Sha sighed: "Originally, I placed you as a left-winger to attract less attention so that after this S-level trial ends, we could adjust your position, allow you to exhibit your talents, and first go to several low-level trials to improve your physique; now, there’s no such opportunity, the City Lord demands one’s participation in the trial."

"I understand the intention, boss. What is this S-level trial like?" Li Xiu inquired.

"I’m not entirely sure about the specifics, yet if you want details, go ask Kun Sha, he’s been through one S-level Mad Ball Trial and is the only surviving player." Sha Chu lifted his coffee cup, "Hope you come back alive; the Madmen team needs you."

"I will return." Li Xiu clinked his coffee cup against Sha Chu’s and smiled.

Watching Li Xiu’s departing silhouette, Sha Chu said with a complex expression, "Such a talent, wasted in the trial."

"Boss, isn’t there any other way?" The chubby manager asked, unwillingly.

"In Tyrone City, no one can defy the City Lord’s wishes, unless you’re tired of living." Sha Chu replied.

"Sigh, such a pity, originally with Li Xiu and Pa Shan, our Madmen team finally seemed poised for a comeback, now both are summoned for the Mad Ball Trial, who knows when the team will rise again." The chubby manager said with a face full of gloom.
