Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Little White Rabbit Turns into a Big Tiger

The two sides clashed again, but unlike last time, both parties were subconsciously observing the situation on Li Xiu’s side.

Li Xiu didn’t choose to evade; instead, he charged directly toward the three players surrounding him.

As he got closer, he ignored the players on both sides and pushed forward fiercely, rushing at the player blocking him head-on, landing a punch on the player’s cheek.

The player saw Li Xiu opting for a head-to-head confrontation and was secretly pleased; he knew his physical fitness was better than Li Xiu’s and wasn’t afraid of such direct engagement.

Previously, he had strength with nowhere to apply it; this was a rare opportunity.

Understanding this, he immediately extended his arm to shield his head, blocking Li Xiu’s attack while counterattacking with his left fist.

The two players on the left and right also pounced at Li Xiu simultaneously, their fists aimed at his face.

As the arms collided solidly, the player felt a surge of excitement, thinking he could finally take Li Xiu down with a frontal attack, and threw his prepared punch.

But just as his fist flew out, he felt something was amiss with the force on his arm—an unimaginable terror directly hammered his arm down.

Moreover, his whole body felt electrified, twitching relentlessly; he couldn’t muster any strength, nor could he move.

Bang!

Li Xiu’s fist struck his temple, causing his eyes to roll back as he fainted, with blood oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Li Xiu stepped on him, leaped into the air to evade the flank attacks, and upon landing, galloped like an untamed horse toward the Red Team’s player with the ball.

The players on either side were momentarily stunned, failing to chase Li Xiu right away.

It’s no wonder they were intimidated; they initially deemed Li Xiu’s physical fitness too weak, clearly not a match for them.

Yet now Li Xiu had felled a player with similar physical fitness with one punch; how could they not be afraid? They knew their fitness wasn’t far off from Shale’s, though they lacked fighting prowess.

It was like thinking they were hunting a rabbit, only to discover it was a tiger; not fleeing on the spot was a blessing.

"Catch up to him, don’t let him get the ball," Jian Jia’s shout brought the two players back to reality, but they hesitated, failing to catch up, and ultimately dared not pursue him wholeheartedly.

The player with the ball in the backfield saw Li Xiu charging and was frightened, running with the ball.

His speed exceeded Li Xiu’s, but carrying the ball slowed him down, allowing Li Xiu to close in.

This player’s psychological strength was evidently inadequate, and his ball-handling skills were ordinary; under pressure, he overstepped and couldn’t catch up with the soccer ball.

As he attempted to chase it, he realized Li Xiu was right behind him and promptly dodged to the side, terrified by Li Xiu’s previous punch.

Li Xiu paid him no mind, catching up with the soccer ball and shooting it directly; the ball hit the net to score another point.

A flash of white light returned all players to their positions, and the scoreboard showed 2:0.

Dong Qiu’s face clouded over as he checked the player knocked out by Li Xiu, whose breathing was weak, with blood seeping from his eyes, ears, tongue, and nose—a sign he might not survive. Even if there was a chance to rescue him, such conditions were absent here.

Glancing at Li Xiu’s position, Dong Qiu’s expression grew even darker.

Initially certain of victory, he didn’t expect problems to arise with Li Xiu.

The other players were no longer calm, with panic written on their faces—at this rate, they were likely to lose.

That man was simply a monster; nobody knew how many deadly tricks he had up his sleeve.

"You all guessed wrong," Jian Jia knew he had to act; Li Xiu had dampened their morale, and doing nothing would only worsen the situation.

All eyes turned to Jian Jia, who continued, "His physical condition isn’t strong, as you saw; his fitness is considerably lower than yours."

"But he..." a player glanced at the one on the ground, more dead than alive, and hesitated to speak.

"He used a skill, and a powerful offensive one at that," Jian Jia pinpointed the crux: "Think carefully; if he were truly strong, why was his speed so slow when he chased the ball after evading you?"

The others awakened to his analysis.

Jian Jia resumed, "Based on his physical fitness, what level of ultimate trial do you think he could pass? S-level? A-level? That’s unlikely, at most a C-level skill. Such a dominant offensive C-level skill would surely have limitations; he might only use it once. Even if he could use it once or twice more, so what? Now we’re prepared, and with his fitness, an attack won’t matter if it doesn’t hit a vital spot."

As Jian Jia spoke, the previously low-spirited players began to regain their vigor.

"Without that skill, what’s he got?" Jian Jia said coldly, "Dong Qiu, next you’ll hold off Kun Sha, while the rest form two groups to take out Shale and Pa Shan. As for Li Xiu, leave him to me. I’ll eliminate him quickly and join you. Even with just ten players, we’re at an absolute advantage. As long as we don’t err, victory is assured."

Jian Jia’s words revived their confidence.

Meanwhile, Li Xiu conversed with Kun Sha and the others.

"Li Xiu, well done. Let’s keep it up and show those bastards this is a soccer match, and you’re the real master of the pitch... On this field, you’re God..." Shale exclaimed excitedly.

"You’re right, it’s a soccer match, not just about brute strength," Li Xiu smiled and said, "But things might change, so I need your cooperation for what’s next."

"Go ahead, whatever you need, I’m with you," Shale replied immediately.

Kun Sha and Pa Shan nodded too; by now, Li Xiu was the team’s backbone.

"If I’m correct, next Dong Qiu will hold up Kun Sha, and the Deputy Corps Commander Jian Jia will look for me," Li Xiu said.

"Can you use your skill again?" Kun Sha asked upon hearing, knowing Li Xiu didn’t hide his power but used a formidable skill to defeat that player.

"Probably not for now, I need some rest before I can use it again," Li Xiu answered.

Earlier, he used both ’Super Exciting’ and ’Blood Boiling’ skills simultaneously to take out that player, and the effect on his body was significant, needing a period of recovery before using ’Super Exciting’ again.

"I’ll go and block Jian Jia, Pa Shan will engage Dong Qiu to buy you time," Kun Sha suggested after pondering.

"I’ll do my utmost to stall Dong Qiu and won’t let him break free until your skill recovers," Pa Shan resolutely declared.

"No need for that trouble; you don’t need to block anyone, just cooperate as I instruct," Li Xiu said before turning to Shale, "Shale, I need you to do me a favor."
