Meanwhile, in the broadcast room, everyone who had previously undergone an adaptation training session was also watching the match.
Compared to the tense atmosphere on the field, everyone here seemed to have changed.
Hiori Yo sat cross-legged on the ground, Yoichi Isagi watched the live broadcast intently, Chigiri leaned against the wall, and Niko and a few others were also inside.
At this moment, Niko slowly spoke, "Speaking of which, don't you feel a slight sense of incongruity?"
"Ever since Ye Liangqiu's self-transformation in the last match, his playing style has also changed."
"This change has turned the entire atmosphere on the field into stagnant water."
"What do you mean?" Yoichi Isagi looked at Niko. In the last match, the two were opponents, and he could clearly feel that Niko had become much stronger, especially when cooperating with Ye Liangqiu; that guy could actually keep up with that monster's speed.
This was enough to surprise Yoichi Isagi.
Niko pondered for a few seconds... before speaking, "Ye Liangqiu's playing style is very special, as if he can predict his teammates' and opponents' movements. It's very similar to our spatial awareness ability, but not quite, because spatial awareness can only lock onto the direction of the goal."
"For example, information, action, shot—we basically rely on this method to obtain the goal equation."
"But Ye Liangqiu is different; his equation should be: action, information, shot."
"He acts first, and while running, he can observe enough information, then find the goal path. Moreover, this path is absolutely stable and unobstructed, or rather, he can tear through all of the opponent's defenses."
"It's as if... he's an emotionless goal-scoring robot."
"Similarly, when I cooperated with him, I also felt like a tool, a tool that could be discarded at any time."
"I know exactly what you mean." At this moment, Chigiri, who had been silent, pursed his lips and spoke. In the last match, he was treated as a tool for scoring, and the only goal he scored was a handout.
Yoichi Isagi stroked his chin, "You mean... Ye Liangqiu's current self completely disregards the people on the field as players with emotions, treating them only as tools?"
Niko hummed, "At this moment, he is truly a tyrannical Demon King. He squeezes his teammates' limits, and although those being squeezed can perfectly cooperate with him, they are merely puppets on a string."
"As a result, the teammates' strength cannot be fully utilized."
"Ye Liangqiu alone is dominating this field."
"While he is indeed strong... is this truly what he wants?"
Yoichi Isagi had not been teammates with the current Ye Liangqiu, so he couldn't fully grasp the feeling, but he could tell that Niko seemed somewhat afraid of Ye Liangqiu's playing style.
His gaze once again fell on Ye Liangqiu, who was soaring across the screen.
So... what kind of drastic change have you undergone?
Using teammates as tools, exploiting their potential, transforming the field into his home ground—what's the point of this adaptation match?
You don't have to participate at all, because you no longer treat your teammates as people.
[Transparent, as expected, only those who are teammates truly understand that Qiu Bao's problem is huge now...]
[Not just huge, but extremely huge. Although the football field is a world for egoists, it's also a team game. If this continues, Qiu Bao might gradually lose himself and become a robot born solely for scoring.]
[Upstairs, isn't that a bit exaggerated? Is Qiu Bao's weapon that terrifying?]
[Is this not terrifying? Haven't you heard from Ego next door that Qiu Bao can see a glimpse of the future? If that's the case, the entire field is just a backyard for him. Do you think such a boring match is interesting?]
[To be honest, what I'm worried about isn't the power brought by the weapon, but Qiu Bao's inability to control that power, being controlled by it.... Right now, he's like someone whose eyes are blinded by power, blindly relying on this power to push everyone aside. However, under the influence of this power, Qiu Bao will become a complete monster.]
The discussions in the bullet comments grew, with almost everyone understanding that Ye Liangqiu's change was too terrifying. As viewers, they could more clearly recognize that Ye Liangqiu, empowered by this force, had already stepped into the ranks of top world players.
But he had also completely become an anomaly.
An anomaly on the field.
In fact, Ye Liangqiu himself had noticed that under this change, his self fiercely resisted this behavior. The fact that he could come to Blue Lock was enough to prove his deep love for football, but ever since he experienced that feeling of controlling teammates as tools,
his self was rejecting this style of play.
Or rather... it was too boring.
Once he entered the zone on the field, everything was just a slow-motion movie; he could see the ending.
What was the point of that?
The sense of pleasure, anticipation, and novelty he sought seemed to be shaken by the awakening of the Demon King's Eye.
From the moment he entered Blue Lock, his goal was never to become the world's number one.
It was merely to follow his true heart in search of matches that brought him novelty and pleasure.
However, now... that feeling had vanished.
Any match made him feel a sense of boredom.
Ye Liangqiu looked up at the ceiling and murmured, "What am I doing?"
"I personally destroyed my own self, and now I'm starting to lament that it's not good... Am I being too sentimental?"
Just then, a voice rang out, "Are you contemplating life?"
"If it's too much, let someone else take over!"
Itoshi Rin suddenly passed by him. Hearing his voice, Ye Liangqiu snapped back to reality, but there was no anger in his heart, only calmness.
The world in his eyes was rapidly slowing down.
Until he once again saw that familiar yet strange goal path.
Ye Liangqiu had just taken a step when he saw a ball kicked in front of him, a hint of white mist seemingly escaping from the corner of his mouth. The next second, he dashed out, his thoughts surging wildly in his mind.
Perhaps it was because of this unknown change, or perhaps it was as the bullet comments said, that he was being controlled by power.
What kind of person did he truly want to become when he stepped onto this field?
At this moment, he was indeed facing a breakdown of his self, and if he couldn't stop it... it was time to leave.
