Chapter 44

(Seeking recommendation votes)

Before the match, Luo Tai almost nagged as he instructed each player on the team, repeatedly telling them not to rush into attacking and to first protect themselves. Unfortunately, Luo Tai's nagging turned into idle talk. As soon as the game started, due to the Shaolin team's consistent overwhelming victories, the players once again charged towards the Devil team's half of the field, just as they had done before.

The Devil team players seemed to be stunned by the Shaolin team's momentum, standing like wooden stakes, not a single player following the ball's trajectory, not even performing the most basic tactical movements.

Seeing this situation, Ming Feng on the sidelines laughed heartily, waving his fists and shouting, "Attack, attack, crush them! Victory will surely be ours, and the championship will definitely be ours too!"

On the field, Luo Tai looked at the Devil team players with cold expressions, feeling a chill run down his spine. Only Luo Tai in the Shaolin team knew what kind of demons were hidden in the bodies of those Devil team players who looked no different from ordinary people. Once these hidden demons were unleashed, they could cause serious harm to the Shaolin team players.

In Luo Tai's eyes, these Devil team players in black uniforms were no longer human but demons in human skin. He even vaguely saw the demon tails behind the Devil team players, wriggling and sparking.

The Shaolin team, with high morale, was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads after the Devil team's goalkeeper casually deflected Ah Xing's powerful shot. They stood there in disbelief, dumbfounded.

Ah Xing was also shocked by the Devil team's goalkeeper. Since Ah Xing started playing, no one had been able to block his powerful shot with the "Iron Leg" technique. Ah Xing's "Iron Leg" was at level 8, one level higher than what Luo Tai had obtained from the lottery system.

The Devil team's goalkeeper threw the ball back to Ah Xing's feet, gesturing for him to continue attacking. Surprisingly, no Devil team defender came to interfere with Ah Xing, watching him with a cold smile, as if they didn't believe Ah Xing could break through their defense.

With a不服气 (unwilling to admit defeat) attitude, Ah Xing adjusted his stance and unleashed the most powerful shot of the tournament, a thunderous blast that whistled towards the Devil team's goal.

Ideally, the shot should have been a sure goal, but in reality, it was firmly controlled by the Devil team's goalkeeper.

Seeing Ah Xing's shot once again thwarted, the other Shaolin team players on the field covered their faces in frustration, looking up to the sky in despair.

Just as the Shaolin team was in a state of despair, the Devil team's goalkeeper threw the ball with one hand, signaling the start of the Devil team's attack.

Only Luo Tai, who was well-prepared, reacted. Despite his best efforts to retreat to his own goal, he couldn't possibly run faster than the ball flying through the air. He could only watch helplessly as the fourth senior brother, the goalkeeper, was knocked to the ground by the whistling ball.

When the spectators in the stands saw the Devil team's goalkeeper's throw pass the entire field and knock the Shaolin team's goalkeeper to the ground, the entire stadium erupted. In their eyes, the closer the teams' strengths, the more exciting the match. Accustomed to seeing the Shaolin team bully their opponents, they were suddenly thrilled to see the defending champion Devil team, which was not only as strong as the Shaolin team but possibly even stronger, leading to loud cheers.

Amid the cheers of the spectators, the fourth senior brother, who had been knocked down, sprang up with a somersault, pointing contemptuously at the Devil team's forward, gesturing for them to attack, just like the Devil team's goalkeeper had done.

Seeing the fourth senior brother's cool retaliation, the Shaolin team players clapped and cheered. Only Luo Tai rushed behind the Devil team's captain, trying to interfere with him to prevent the Devil team's captain from attacking with full force.

Unfortunately, football is not a sport that can be played by one person. A single Devil team player held Luo Tai back, while the Devil team's captain, with a shot no less powerful than Ah Xing's, launched a fierce attack on the Shaolin team's goal.

No, it wasn't just as powerful as Ah Xing's; it was far more powerful. The ball, like a meteor from outer space, struck the fourth senior brother heavily. The Devil team's captain wasn't aiming to score a goal but deliberately targeted the fourth senior brother, the goalkeeper.

Although the ball was deflected by the fourth senior brother, he was slammed into the goal by the cannonball-like ball, spewing blood that bloomed like fireworks in front of the Shaolin team's goal. This tragic blood flower was clearly visible even from the stands.

"Fourth senior brother!"

With the Shaolin team's collective cry, the referee blew the whistle for a pause.

The fourth senior brother was carried off the field on a stretcher. Although he still signaled to everyone that his injuries were not severe, his pale face revealed that he would likely need to stay in bed for a while.

Watching the fourth senior brother leave, Luo Tai felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The fourth senior brother, who possessed the Ghost Shadow Grappling technique, had not worked for half a year but still adhered to his moral底线 (bottom line), living in a dirty and messy temporary house, not using his Ghost Shadow Grappling technique to steal or rob, but still working hard to earn a living.

Ah Xing and his fellow disciples were in similar situations. They were truly good people. The eldest senior brother's Iron Head technique was nearly indestructible, the second senior brother's Whirlwind Ground Leg was invincible, the third senior brother's Golden Bell Shield was impervious to blades and bullets, Ah Xing's Iron Leg was immensely powerful, and the sixth senior brother's Lightness Skill was unparalleled. If they used their martial arts to commit crimes, they could live a life of luxury, but they did not. They possessed extraordinary skills but lived in poverty, and they were truly good people.

Luo Tai knew that he didn't need to do anything; he just needed to wait, and the Shaolin team would eventually defeat the evil Devil team and win the national Super Cup. But Luo Tai couldn't bear it; he couldn't just watch his adorable teammates be harmed by the Devil team.

If he could fight, Luo Tai had a 100% chance of defeating the Devil team's 11 players. These people were only physically enhanced by drugs, but they didn't know how to fight. Luo Tai's level 7 fighting skills and level 7 Iron Leg technique would definitely win.

But this was a football field. If Luo Tai used his fighting skills, he would be penalized by the referee, and it would be of no help. But could he just watch his teammates be destroyed?

With a surge of determination, Luo Tai shouted and threw himself into the game.

When the sixth senior brother used his Lightness Skill to prepare to dribble past a player, a Devil team player also leaped high, a leg like an iron rod whistling towards the sixth senior brother. But the iron leg did not hit the sixth senior brother's stomach because Luo Tai jumped in front of him, protecting him. Luo Tai secretly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, watching the sixth senior brother's agile figure.

When the eldest senior brother was performing tactical movements, a knee came crashing into his back, but he was not injured because Luo Tai took the knee with his back, feeling a strong urge to vomit but smiling in relief.

The second senior brother's dazzling dribbling did not notice the cold faces behind him. Four thick iron legs dangerously entangled his legs, but Luo Tai, who appeared in time, used his legs to block the attack, ignoring the creaking sound of his legs being entangled.

Ah Xing charged into the Devil team's penalty area, but he did not see the two Devil team players who should have collided with his back. Instead, they fell to the ground with Luo Tai, who was spewing blood.

Thus, Luo Tai, after only half a game, had to be carried off the field due to injuries.

On the sidelines, Liu Yifei cried as she saw Luo Tai, whispering in his ear, "Why are you so foolish? Why did you do that?"

Luo Tai smiled, showing his blood-stained teeth, and whispered, "Because they are all good people, I didn't want them to get hurt."

After saying that, Luo Tai fell into a coma. Unconscious, he did not know that Liu Yifei leaned down and gently kissed his blood-stained lips, softly saying, "Actually, you are also a good person."

In the second half, when the Shaolin team was full of injured players and no one could play, Ah Mei appeared and ultimately helped the Shaolin team win the match and the Super Cup championship.

Luo Tai, who was unconscious, did not see the team's victory. But when Ah Xing scored the winning goal, Luo Tai's watch gently vibrated, and his severe injuries healed without him realizing it.
