Chapter 39 Razor Ball

Baal’s tank-like body moved. The agility he displayed seemed incongruent with his body.

His entire body leaned to the side as he placed all his weight on his left leg. He raised his right leg to its limits, fully pulling open the distance between his instep and the ball.

Bam!

The moment the back of his foot touched the ball, the soccer ball shot straight at Li Xiu like a cannonball.

The ball flew at a low altitude. Wherever it passed, the grass on the ground was swept to the sides by the airflow, instantly reaching Li Xiu’s abdomen.

It was impossible to punch a ball at this height, and Li Xiu no longer had the time to dodge.

Just as Fatty was about to call for a medic, he saw Li Xiu suddenly clasp his hands together and smash them at the soccer ball in front of him like a sledgehammer.

The soccer ball changed its trajectory and bounced off the ground.

Quick reaction. Unfortunately, his strength is lacking. The fatty was somewhat surprised. Not anyone could take on a shot like Baal’s.

It was already pretty good that Li Xiu could handle the ball in such a way.

However, Baal’s eyes became even more fervent. He took another ball and placed it at the penalty spot.

“Baal, don’t do anything rash…” The fatty knew what Baal was up to and hurriedly stopped him. Li Xiu’s performance was already rather outstanding. Although his physique was still lacking as a goalie, he could still be used as a substitute.

If Baal really crippled him, not only would there be one less player to make him money, but it would also be troublesome.

After all, there were laws in Tyro. It was impossible for someone to kill or cripple someone in public without repercussions.

However, Baal didn’t care at all. He ignored the fatty and raised his leg to strike the soccer ball again.

This kick was even more violent. Furthermore, the mark of a skill lit up on his ring finger as circles of blood patterns appeared on his thumb.

Shoosh!

The soccer ball spun violently as it streaked across space like a raging beam, heading straight for Li Xiu.

“Dodge…” The fatty shouted at Li Xiu. He knew very well how terrifying Baal’s shot

was.

However, Li Xiu had no intention of dodging. He extended his hands and prepared to punch the ball out again.

However, the moment his hands touched the ball, he immediately knew that something was amiss.

The ball spun violently. Not only did it dissipate the force he delivered, but it also swept down and headed straight for Li Xiu’s face.

Sh*t. I’m going to get an earful from the boss again! The fatty couldn’t help but cover his face, unwilling to see Li Xiu’s tragic state.

Baal’s skill was a B-class “Razor Ball.” In general, a “Razor Ball” was actually a screw shot. However, the ball’s speed and arc were even more exaggerated than ordinary screw shots.

Baal’s Razor Ball was a lethal skill. The soccer ball spun forward at high speeds. Once it encountered a force, it would spin downwards.

With the way Li Xiu delivered his punch, the ball would head straight for his face. The friction produced would grind his face apart when the spinning ball smashed into his face.

A goalie’s face was once mangled by Baal’s Razor Ball during a soccer league in Tyro. His nose and brow bones were flattened, and his eyes were destroyed.

Not only was his career ruined, but he also became a disfigured blind man. He even suffered from mental problems due to the intense concussion.

Bam!

The sound of the soccer ball colliding sounded. The fatty had no choice but to lower his hand. He was already prepared to run over and deal with the subsequent mess.

However, just as he took a step, he was stunned. This was because Li Xiu was standing in front of the goal while the soccer ball that Baal had shot out bounced out of the penalty box.

“What’s going on?” the fat man asked in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that Li Xiu had thrown out Baal’s Razor Ball without suffering any injuries.

“Fatty, where did you find him? This fellow is impressive!”

“To be able to resolve Baal’s Razor Ball like that, interesting.”

“Such standards are much better than that fellow from before. Aren’t we lacking a suitable goalie? I think he’s not bad.”

The players discussed spiritedly, looking very satisfied with Li Xiu’s performance.

“What’s going on? What happened?” The fatty wore a puzzled expression. He regretted not watching the ball and was depressed.

Baal wanted to shoot again, but the fatty couldn’t care less. He rushed over to stop him.

“Baal, stop fooling around. This is our own goalie. If you want to act up, cripple another team’s goalie in the arena,” the fatty said as he pulled Baal back.

“Humph.” Baal glared at Li Xiu before turning to walk towards the resting area. “Unsatisfied? Then continue shooting until you’re satisfied,” Li Xiu suddenly said to Baal.

Li Xiu had come here to attract the attention of Tyro’s castellan as quickly as possible. He wasn’t here to silently make a fortune, so he couldn’t keep a low profile. He had to be high-profile, and the higher, the better.

When Baal heard Li Xiu’s words, he turned around and stood in the penalty spot again without a word.

The fatty failed to stop him and was pushed away by Baal. Baal kicked the ball at Li Xiu again. It was still a Razor Ball.

This time, the fatty finally saw how Li Xiu threw out the Razor Ball. He punched the spinning soccer ball from below as it smashed towards his face.

At that moment, Li Xiu suddenly lowered his head and leaped forward. His legs swung up like a scorpion’s tail.

The Razor Ball moved along his back and was kicked by his scorpion-like legs, before being sent flying “Holy sh*t, that’s possible?” The fatty’s mouth gaped open for a long time.

Baal was already enraged. He pulled a basket of training balls over and shot them at Li Xiu one after another.

However, the duration of B-class skills was limited. After kicking out a few Razor Balls, he could only kick out ordinary, powerful shots.

Li Xiu threw Baal’s shot out again and again. Towards the end, Baal no longer aimed the ball at him. Instead, he tried scoring goals.

At such a close distance, the chances of a penalty shot entering were much higher than the chances of being thrown out. However, no matter how Baal kicked, Li Xiu could save the ball.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen such a goalie before.

There were many good goalies in the league. It wasn’t like there weren’t any goalies who could counter Baal.

However, those goalies had one thing in common-their physiques were stronger than Baal’s, or they had special trial skills.

Li Xiu’s physique was clearly inferior to Baal’s, and he didn’t use any skills; yet he could save the balls that Baal shot at close range. It was unprecedented.

The fatty suddenly realized that he had found a treasure.
