Chapter 35

(Seeking recommendations, Xiaodao respectfully requests)

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the letter containing secrets given to him by his mother.

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Luotai wiped his forehead and cursed, "Damn! There were venomous snakes and spiders before, and now it's something bigger."

He looked around and said to Feng Ge, "Feng Ge, I need to go to the toilet."

"Sure, go ahead," Feng Ge nodded and said.

Luotai ran to a place far from the playground. Liu Yifei wanted to follow, but Luotai stopped her. He thought to himself that if he drew the Siberian tiger, he would have to run away, and he wouldn't be able to take care of Liu Yifei at that time.

When he reached a deserted area, Luotai examined the terrain and climbed onto the roof to be prepared. Then he started the lottery. The watch began to select as usual.

"Beep~~"

Luotai carefully observed his surroundings and then checked the display: Congratulations, you have drawn Level 2 football skills... 150 points of virtue deducted, 38 points of virtue remaining.

"Buzz~" With this display, Luotai felt a sudden dizziness, and then it seemed as if he entered a black space. Just like when he learned Level 7 free fighting, Luotai instantly mastered Level 2 football skills.

Although this skill is only Level 2, it is equivalent to the level of a national college football league, at least for someone who has been practicing football since childhood. If evaluated by professional football standards, Level 2 is equivalent to the Chinese Second Division, which is much stronger than someone who doesn't know how to play football.

Level 4 is the level of the national team? After completing his learning, Luotai came down from the roof and thought to himself, although the national team is terrible, they are still professional players and the best in the country. So, although Level 2 is not as good as the national team, it should be enough to handle the Shaolin football team.

Thinking about this, Luotai picked up a round stone from the ground and gently threw it into the air. His foot involuntarily started juggling the stone. "Clap, clap, clap, clap~~~" In one breath, Luotai juggled the stone over fifty times, and the stone was still under his control.

Wow~~ It turns out that football is so beautiful, just like martial arts, it is also an art, an art completed with the feet.

When Luotai returned to the team for training, he seemed very confident. He gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up, meaning "It's done!"

The team members were clumsily playing with the ball. They looked very amateur, basically at the level of kicking the ball high. "Kicking the ball high" is an early concept in China where a player is considered good if they can kick the ball high. This is a very backward and outdated football concept.

In other words, the current level of the team members is not even at the tactical level; they just need to kick the ball far. Feng Ge, seeing the team's level, naturally frowned. To win the national super cup with this level? It's like a fairy tale.

However, Luotai didn't care because he knew the team's potential had not yet been unleashed!

Luotai didn't say anything, he ran over and stepped on a football with his foot. Then, with a movement of his ankle, the football came to life like a sprite, dancing on Luotai's foot.

Gradually, the team members stopped moving, staring at Luotai with wide eyes; Liu Yifei also stopped, guessing that Luotai had drawn a football skill. She smiled in relief; Feng Ge, who was at a loss, straightened his back, thinking to himself, "I never thought Luotai would have the level of a professional football player..."

"Don't just stand there, go and try to take the ball from Luotai," Feng Ge suddenly said. He wanted to see if Luotai could control the ball under pressure.

Because no matter how well one plays alone, it's useless without pressure and competition.

The team members immediately surrounded Luotai. "Clap~~" Luotai steadied the ball, suddenly started, and charged towards the senior brother. He then flicked the ball forward and turned his body, passing the senior brother with the ball.

The third senior brother hurriedly ran to chase the ball, but Luotai was faster and more agile. He caught up with the ball, suddenly steadied it, and the third senior brother rushed forward and stumbled. The fourth senior brother followed, and Luotai lifted his foot, as if he was going to pass the ball again, but this time he shook the fourth senior brother to the side and easily dribbled past him...

The senior brothers began to use their bodies to squeeze Luotai, but Luotai's body was not weak. He could not only reasonably push these people away but also keep the ball under his control.

In this way, Luotai dribbled past the team members' "surrounding and blocking" and brought the ball all the way to the opposite goal!

"Wow!!!!" The team members all clapped.

Feng Ge limped over, patted Luotai's shoulder, and said, "I didn't expect... I didn't expect that you not only know kung fu but also have top-notch football skills."

"Feng Ge, forget it, I'm just an amateur, far from your level back then," Luotai shrugged and said. He couldn't help but think that Level 2 football skills were so amazing; if it were Level 9... wouldn't that be the level of a world footballer?

However, through learning football skills, Luotai understood one thing: true football masters are not just about being brave but also about excellent football awareness and team spirit! This is what the national team lacks, and the system rating the national team as Level 4 is not without reason.

I bet even the old immortal can't stand the national team's football.

At this moment, everyone noticed that not far away, Ah Xing had already started juggling eggs skillfully. Ah Xing definitely has a talent for football, Luotai thought to himself.

After a day of training, everyone returned home, agreeing to meet again at 7 AM the next day. Luotai now had no extra money to arrange accommodation for the team members, as training equipment and registration fees also cost money.

After dispersing, Luotai pulled Liu Yifei and caught up with Ah Xing, calling out to him from behind.

"What's up, brother?" Ah Xing stopped and said.

"I'll treat you to dinner?" Luotai said.

"Forget it, I don't want to trouble you. I'll just buy two steamed buns to eat," Ah Xing said.

Luotai walked up and patted Ah Xing's shoulder, then said, "Why so formal? Just eating steamed buns won't do... um..." Luotai suddenly thought of something and continued, "But I heard that the 'Sweet in Heart' steamed bun shop makes very good steamed buns. Let's buy a few and take them to the restaurant to eat."

"Is that, is that okay?" Ah Xing shook his head and said.

"Xing... Xing Ge, don't be so formal," Liu Yifei said from the side.

"Since both of you are so sincere, if I refuse, it would be..."

"Alright, alright," Luotai didn't let him finish and hugged his shoulder, walking out of the playground together.

The "Sweet in Heart" steamed bun shop had a small storefront but many customers. The neighbors all came here to buy steamed buns because there was a "Steamed Bun Queen" who made steamed buns that were not only soft and elastic but also sweet inside.

This Steamed Bun Queen was a Tai Chi master—Ah Mei (played by Zhao Wei).

When they arrived, there were still many people, and they queued up. Ah Xing said to Luotai, "The girl who makes steamed buns is a kung fu master."

"Oh?" Luotai feigned surprise.

"The steamed buns she makes are kneaded with advanced Tai Chi push hands!" Ah Xing said, drawing out the words.

"That's great. How about this, after we buy the steamed buns, we wait for her to finish work, and we all have dinner together and get to know each other?" Luotai suggested.

"I'm not very familiar with her, and..." Ah Xing frowned and said.

"And what?"

"Last time, I still owed her 1 yuan."

"Ha ha, no problem, Xing Ge, we'll pay her back. Besides, we're all martial artists; what's familiar or not? We'll get to know each other after a chat," Luotai said with a smile.

"What if she doesn't want to have dinner with us?" Ah Xing asked.

"Don't worry, if you invite her, she will definitely come!" Luotai said confidently. He and Liu Yifei exchanged a glance, and Liu Yifei, who had seen the movie, naturally knew the secret, so she added, "Xing Ge, I think what Tai Ge said makes sense. You should definitely go."

"Wow, you two..." Ah Xing smiled.

At this moment, Luotai suddenly whispered to Liu Yifei, "When did you start calling me Tai Ge? I remember your records say you're older than me."

"Go to hell." Liu Yifei scolded and then suddenly asked, "What? Did you look up my records on Baidu?"
