When 'God' Decides To Start Over
Chapter 52: Something’s Wrong

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Something’s Wrong

The true Angel’s Wings must be paired with Demon Armor that can fly, offering combat skills without any blind spots in all directions.

Right now, Li Xiu is only employing part of these skills, drifting around Shale like a phantom, causing Shale to feel incredibly annoyed. Every time he wanted to exert his force, Li Xiu would just stand beside him at the most inconvenient spot for exertion, leaving Shale unable to unleash his power.

He wanted to lock onto Li Xiu, but every time he exerted force, it felt awkward, and Li Xiu would effortlessly brush his arms aside.

Bang!

Once again, while dodging Shale’s attack, Li Xiu kicked the ball into the goal, clean and swift, not a trace of sluggishness.

Outside the football field, it was completely silent; whether it was the veteran players with years of experience, the new players who had just joined, or even the temporary coach of the team, all were looking at Li Xiu with astonishment, as if they had never seen a football match.

They indeed had never seen anyone play football like Li Xiu, at least not in the Mad Ball Trial.

Clearly, his physical condition was not as good as Shale’s, yet he could toy with Shale with ease, under Shale’s frantic attacks, he kicked the ball as if he was strolling through a park.

For a moment, they all had a daze, as if only now realizing that this, damn it, was how football should be played.

"It’s your turn." Li Xiu kicked the ball to Shale’s feet.

Shale looked at the ball at his feet, then raised his head to look at Li Xiu, with a strange expression he asked, "How did you do it?"

"Want to learn? I’ll teach you." Li Xiu said calmly.

Shale’s gaze towards Li Xiu became even more complex, suddenly he kicked the football underneath his foot into the air, turned around and walked away, muttering, "It’s boring."

After that goal, none of the players looked down on Li Xiu for his physical condition anymore, implicitly acknowledging that Li Xiu had the qualification to join them in the Mad Ball Trial.

"Nicely done." Kun Sha gave Li Xiu a thumbs up, Li Xiu’s performance exceeded his expectations, even he was quite surprised.

"Have you trained in combat before?" Pa Shan noticed something peculiar about Li Xiu’s footwork; it didn’t resemble football footwork, but rather the footwork from some combat techniques.

"In this world, you have to train in some self-defense techniques." Li Xiu replied with a smile.

"Can you teach me?" Pa Shan himself was proficient in footwork, which is essential for defeating the strong as the weak, but compared to Li Xiu, he knew he was still lacking.

"Of course, but it’s not just about footwork. You also need to study human anatomy and psychology, perhaps you should also learn some sports mechanics." Li Xiu wasn’t making things difficult for Pa Shan; to learn Angel’s Wings, indeed requires knowledge of these fields.

"Teach me when you have time." Pa Shan understood Li Xiu was not implying otherwise, and nodded straightforwardly.

Li Xiu and Pa Shan integrated into the team, training with them.

"Such a surprise, this Li Xiu is truly a genius in terms of skills." In the VIP room overlooking the field, Zheng De stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, having seen everything that had just happened, watching Li Xiu on the field with eyes full of appreciation.

"Perhaps, you could switch up a player for the S-level Mad Ball Trial." Sitting on the sofa behind Zheng De was a woman, who surprisingly was Sha Chu, the owner of the Mad Ball team.

"Before he scored that goal, there was still a possibility to replace him, but now it’s impossible." Zheng De squinted and said.

"Must it be this way?" Sha Chu said.

"There’s no alternative, changing players now wouldn’t be reasonable or logical." Zheng De’s voice turned sinister, "Tyrone City can only have one voice, and that is my voice."

"I will wholeheartedly support you, sir." Sha Chu took a glance at Kun Sha in the field, commenting lightly, "It’s just a pity for those players."

"As long as I am in control of Tyrone City, players like these are always obtainable, it’s merely a matter of spending some gemstones and time." Zheng De laughed, "I won’t forget the contribution your family has made to Tyrone City. Once successful, all those ruby mines will belong to your family."

"May your wishes come true, sir." Sha Chu raised her glass.

"And may you great fortunes." Zheng De smiled, raising his glass in response.

Sha Chu slowly drank the wine in her glass, while her peripheral vision drifted towards the field, where the figure of a vibrant player stood.

In the days that followed, Li Xiu trained within the team.

Li Xiu noticed that almost every day, one of the Demon Cores he closely kept on his person would disappear without a trace.

Now Li Xiu could confirm those Demon Cores weren’t stolen, because no one could steal a Demon Core from his side like that without him having any idea.

Li Xiu still suspected whether the Demon Spirit infant inside his body wasn’t dead, but a thorough internal check within the team was conducted.

The equipment here is far superior to those in Tyrone City’s hospitals, yet still, no issues were found.

"If so many Demon Cores were truly absorbed into my body, surely I should feel something. The energy of these Demon Cores gathered together is not a small amount, it’s impossible to feel nothing at all." Li Xiu’s growing doubt lingered in his mind.

Fortunately, his body showed no problems, he could only continue to observe.

Time flew by quickly and soon it was the day the S-level Mad Ball Trial was to begin, Li Xiu and other players were brought outside to a base by Zheng De, where they saw a giant red door.

Inside and outside the base, soldiers were guarding everywhere; numerous Magic Armor Masters in their Demon Armors were seen patrolling.

Guyue City’s players had already arrived early at the giant red door, seeing Zheng De bring the team, someone leading Guyue City’s team smile mischievously and said, "Old Zheng, bringing only this bunch of misfit scraps, is Tyrone City truly out of people?"

"Whether they’re people or not, we’ll know in the trial. Stop your nonsense, let’s begin." Zheng De said coldly.

The person with gold teeth waved and soldiers from behind him immediately brought out a box. Opening the box revealed a row of rubies.

Soldiers walked out behind Zheng De too, carrying a similar box filled with rubies inside.

People from both sides took the rubies from the boxes and carried them to the giant red door, embedding them one by one. Once all the rubies were embedded, the patterns on the red door emanated a red glow, and the door slowly began to open.

Players from both teams entered the red door, one by one, guided by instructions.

Li Xiu walked through the red door and arrived at a familiar arena stand, below which was a standard football field.

At the front of the stand were two stone platforms, each had a red and a white button on top.

When he looked at the opponent’s players, something felt off.

Among the eleven players on the opponent’s side, a few looked outright bizarre, almost to the extent of being described as odd.

Players participating in such a Mad Ball Trial must surely be top-notch, selected elite players, yet on those few players, Li Xiu did not see the confidence and composure that elite players are supposed to have, their eyes looked bewildered and at a loss.
