Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Struggle for Selection

The City Lord of Tyrone City gathered a total of thirteen players, aside from Li Xiu and Pa Shan, all were already very well-known players.

Only eleven players can participate in the trial, two will be considered as substitutes, just in case any main players encounter an accident before entering the Land of Trial.

When Kun Sha arrived at Tyrone Stadium with Pa Shan for reporting, a few players were already training on the field.

Li Xiu saw a player, from thirty meters away, shoot the ball with one kick, the football rushed across thirty meters like lightning and fiercely flew into the goal.

The football struck the net, still spinning violently, and even tore through the net, passing straight through.

"Such terrifying strength," Li Xiu marveled.

Pa Shan also saw this scene, his expression slightly serious, as he realized that player’s physique was certainly no less than his own.

Soon, Pa Shan noticed that aside from Li Xiu, all players recruited here had extremely strong physiques, his physique wouldn’t afford him any advantage here.

Now, Pa Shan felt increasingly that he was naive before, he was not frightened, even in underground boxing matches, he was never afraid of stronger opponents physically.

The stronger the opponent, the more motivated he became.

Contrarily, Pa Shan was somewhat worried about Li Xiu.

Li Xiu’s football skills were unbelievably strong, Pa Shan admired Li Xiu’s skills wholeheartedly.

If it were a normal football match, Li Xiu might not lose to other players by relying on his technique.

But under the rules of an S-level trial, Li Xiu’s weak physique might be quite dangerous.

However, when Pa Shan looked at Li Xiu, he saw that Li Xiu was watching other players train with interest, seemingly unconcerned.

Kun Sha was also paying attention to Li Xiu’s expression, seeing that he showed no fear at all, he couldn’t help but silently praise, "This mindset is indeed rare, hope it continues."

Seeing Kun Sha, many players proactively came over to greet, all were old acquaintances, having interacted frequently on the field, some had even entered the Trial Ground with Kun Sha before, quite familiar indeed.

Of course, the trial grounds they entered with Kun Sha were naturally not of S level.

Kun Sha introduced Li Xiu and Pa Shan to them, they showed some interest in Pa Shan, but not much in Li Xiu.

They noticed Li Xiu’s skills in the match against the Green Demon team, but no matter how good the skills were, poor physical strength would struggle to achieve much in the Mad Ball Trial.

Most of them assumed Li Xiu would be one of the two substitutes, unlikely to have a chance to enter the trial.

Certainly, some players showed interest in Li Xiu’s football technique, and took the initiative to greet him, chatting about technical topics.

The City Lord of Tyrone did not appear, a coach trained Li Xiu and the others, and Kun Sha was appointed as captain of this temporary team.

During training there was a coach, after entering the Mad Ball Training Ground, there would be no coach, Kun Sha would be the actual commander.

Li Xiu learned upon arriving that their opponent was Guyue City’s football team.

The Mad Ball Trial Ground was jointly owned by Tyrone City and Guyue City, usually divided into time slots for each to use.

But this time the S-level trial couldn’t be split, everyone would have to participate together, each vying for rewards.

According to Kun Sha, the players from Guyue City wouldn’t be physically inferior to those on their side, to claim the final reward, they would first have to win against them.

The coach assigned positions and gave the left winger position to Li Xiu because he watched that match and found Li Xiu’s technique very good and left foot shooting ability very strong, not a player who relied solely on his right foot.

Li Xiu’s phenomenal solo raid was completed using his left foot.

When Kun Sha heard the coach’s arrangement, he frowned, thinking Li Xiu should play defense, a position with relatively less intense confrontation, allowing him to also protect Li Xiu.

Upon hearing Li Xiu wasn’t a substitute but playing left winger, other players gave Li Xiu surprised looks.

Clearly, they were also puzzled why Li Xiu was playing this position.

After the coach assigned positions, he let players go train, privately Kun Sha went to see the coach, returning with an unpleasant look.

During training, Li Xiu heard other players discussing issues about him.

This wasn’t an ordinary meaningless football match, it was about life and death, no one wanted to drag along such a liability in the match.

With Li Xiu’s physical condition in the frontline, he could be taken out right away, leaving them with ten against eleven, no one wanted to risk their lives.

Before Kun Sha reached Li Xiu, a player stopped Kun Sha and said, "Kun Sha, how did it go with the coach? Messing around like this is asking for our death! Ten versus eleven, how did he come up with that?"

They all thought Kun Sha went to the coach to have Li Xiu replaced.

"The coach said, it’s the City Lord’s decision, everyone should cooperate and take care of each other as much as possible," Kun Sha said.

Upon hearing it was the City Lord’s decision, many players frowned but said nothing more.

However, the player talking to Li Xiu curled his lips and said, "The City Lord must be senile, good technique means nothing, lacking physical condition will harm both oneself and others in the trial, better to voluntarily withdraw."

Obviously, he was speaking for Li Xiu to hear, Li Xiu knew whatever he said now would be useless. Matters concerning life and death, unless Li Xiu showed abilities convincing enough, talking more would just waste breath, not changing their thoughts at all.

The two players serving as substitutes watched Li Xiu with envious eyes.

If they could get Li Xiu kicked out, they’d have a chance to enter the trial.

Except for Kun Sha and Li Xiu, other players thought this trial might give them the talent to become Magic Armor Masters, hence they risked their lives and participated eagerly.

Several were named by the City Lord, having no choice but to join the trial.

"Since you think I’m no good, how about having a match with me?" Li Xiu said, looking at the player.

"Compete with what? Shooting?" The player showed a mocking expression. On such a field, any skills or shooting are nonsense, only survivors have the right to shoot.

As long as you survive, no shooting skills are needed, even the crippled can kick into an undefended goal.

"Let’s have a match according to the rules of the Mad Ball Trial." Li Xiu ignored his taunts and said calmly.
