Chapter 55: "The Art of Evasion and Strategy"

But Kun Sha was tightly entangled by Jian Jia. Jian Jia’s strength and speed were slightly inferior to Kun Sha’s, and his skills were not as good either. The sustainability of A-level skills was far less than that of S-level.

Moreover, using four A-level skills simultaneously made the sustainability even worse.

But so what? As long as he could hold Kun Sha off for a while longer, until the others dealt with Shale, Pa Shan, and Li Xiu, no matter how formidable Kun Sha was, could he possibly take on all eleven of them alone?

Jian Jia was like a cunning hyena, strategically tangling Kun Sha.

When Kun Sha attacked fiercely, he retreated; when Kun Sha retreated, he tangled up again. Kun Sha couldn’t resolve him quickly.

After all, Kun Sha was not a professional Trial Taker; he participated in trials only to enhance his physical fitness, to play football more enjoyably.

Now Kun Sha somewhat regretted not learning more about normal combat techniques.

Hearing Shale’s angry roar, Kun Sha instinctively turned his head to look, realizing Shale was about to be blinded. He wanted to save him but couldn’t possibly make it in time.

Jian Jia seized that brief moment of Kun Sha’s distraction, and a blood-red Skill Brand appeared on his fingers again, his hand knife flashing like a venomous snake, swiftly slashing towards Kun Sha’s side neck.

As Kun Sha tried to turn and block, it was already too late; he could only adjust his posture slightly to avoid vital areas, intending to bear the blow with his back.

Pa Shan was even more overwhelmed, barely defending against Dong Qiu’s ferocious attacks, only managing to hold his ground thanks to his A-level defensive skill "Iron Wall," which deflected several of Dong Qiu’s skill strikes.

Seeing two of their three members about to be severely injured, a sense of despair arose in everyone’s hearts.

Suddenly, a light flashed on the field.

Shale’s eyes widened, originally awaiting the impending stab of despair. Yet, a white light flashed before him; the fingers that were about to touch his eyeballs disappeared, the opposing players in front of him vanished, and the three forces suppressing his body dissipated.

Kun Sha, equally astonished, found the Jian Jia behind him gone, and he himself had returned to the spot where he had just been teleported onto the field.

Pa Shan experienced the same, everyone wearing expressions of confusion.

"What’s going on?" Shale noticed that the opposing players had similarly returned to their original teleported positions.

"White Team scores and earns one point, the score is now 1-0," the cold electronic synthetic voice sounded, and the score on the screen changed to 1-0.

Everyone’s gaze naturally shifted to Li Xiu, a subconscious action, as they could think of no one else capable of such a feat besides Li Xiu.

Though they thought it unlikely for Li Xiu to achieve this under the siege of four opposing players, there seemed no other possibility.

"It’s one to zero. Can you still hold on?" Li Xiu’s gaze swept across Kun Sha and the others’ faces as he smiled and said.

"You’re a goddamn genius, I love you!" Shale rushed over and lifted Li Xiu up, shouting in excitement.

Escaping death, he needed to release the fear and despair pent up in his heart.

The once annoying Li Xiu now seemed entirely pleasing, making Shale wish he could plant a kiss on Li Xiu’s face.

"What happened? You four failed to deal with that kid and let him score? Are you eating shit?" Dong Qiu angrily scolded the four players who surrounded Li Xiu.

"That kid slips around like a loach among us, we’re afraid of hurting our own, couldn’t lay heavy hands on him, instead he slipped away..." one player explained gloomily.

He felt he could clearly kill Li Xiu, yet for some reason, the teammates always got in the way.

Though they surrounded Li Xiu, it somehow felt more uncomfortable for themselves than for Li Xiu.

"Dong Qiu, don’t be hasty." Jian Jia glanced at Li Xiu on the other side of the field, first soothing Dong Qiu, then addressing the four, "Do you all feel like your teammates are always getting in the way?"

The four immediately nodded; they indeed all felt the same.

Having gotten the answer, Jian Jia understood the situation, lightly stating, "It’s not your fault; you lack battlefield experience. That person is not someone you can handle. He must have survived countless bloody battles and has an incredibly sharp intuition for combat, using your lack of coordination to turn you into obstacles for each other."

"Is he really that powerful? With that physique, what kind of bloody battles could he have survived?" Dong Qiu looked skeptically towards Li Xiu.

Most other players shared the disbelief; Li Xiu’s physical prowess wasn’t strong.

"Don’t forget, Trial Takers are human, not demons, and they fear human weapons. Lucky for us, this is within the Trial Ground, without weapons in his hands. Had he wielded a knife, you four would already be dead." Jian Jia paused before continuing, "Later, you four split into two groups; one of you stays with the ball, preventing him from getting close, while the other three engage him. I don’t need you to kill him, just to keep him occupied, prevent him from grabbing the ball, or disturbing others. After we handle Kun Sha, we’ll deal with him."

The four promptly nodded; Jian Jia was the true authority in this trial, even Dong Qiu had to listen, let alone the players.

"Kick off, then." As the side losing a point, they started the kick-off.

As per Jian Jia’s arrangement, after kicking out, they sent the football directly to one player, who instead of charging forward, retreated towards their own half.

The other ten charged towards Li Xiu’s team again, with Jian Jia directly targeting Kun Sha, determined to entangle him.

"Seems they’ve learned their lesson this time; it won’t be as easy to score." Shale spoke while sneaking a glance at Li Xiu, hoping he’d work another miracle.

"Hold on, I’ll take care of the rest," Li Xiu said, his expression unchanged, still calm as he watched the opposing actions.

"I’ve entrusted my life to you; even if I die, I’ll hold on," Shale felt inexplicably more assured hearing Li Xiu speak.

From some point, Shale increasingly trusted Li Xiu, as if anything Li Xiu promised could undoubtedly be achieved.

Despite Li Xiu having the weakest physical strength among them, Shale instinctively relied on him.

"Don’t worry, I won’t keep you waiting long," Li Xiu said as he advanced towards the three approaching players, meeting them without a word.

"Entangle him." Seeing Li Xiu approaching, Jian Jia emphasized once more.

The three players gritted their teeth, closing in on Li Xiu as quickly as possible.

They knew well that losing this game meant losing their lives.
