Yukimiya chuckled lightly. As expected of the number one, he could shoot from such an extreme angle. Does this guy never consider distance or defense?
Reo, on the other hand, wiped the sweat from the corner of his mouth upon seeing this, "It's only been a few days, and this monster is still so strong...."
"Just how much stronger has Nagi become?"
Nagi Seishiro seemed calm about this scene, as he had seen such goals many times before.
Or rather, he had seen them often when he was in Ye Liangqiu's team.
"Disgusting," Itoshi Rin muttered. If he had known, he should have followed his instincts and charged the goal alone. Why did he pass the ball to this monk?
It won't happen again next time...
Upon seeing Ye Liangqiu score, the monk was overjoyed. After all, he had contributed to this goal, which meant he had value on this field.
This undoubtedly indicated that he had a chance to step onto that field.
Unfortunately, Ego Jinpachi was also observing the match in the monitoring room at this moment.
Anri recorded data beside him, "Mr. Ego, Ye Liangqiu's data has changed significantly."
"I know," Ego Jinpachi nodded. Of course, he had noticed. As the controller of the entire Blue Lock, all players were just data in his eyes, and his job was to make that data higher. "Ye Liangqiu is no longer fighting alone."
"He's started to actively accommodate his teammates."
"But this self-interest is a bit strange... As an extreme egoist, I've seen his fighting style on the field many times, and I never noticed a very terrifying thing before."
"No wonder Loki talked to me about this 'eye' issue back then."
Anri's smile twitched slightly, "Mr. Ego, can you explain it more clearly?"
Ego Jinpachi chuckled, "Didn't I tell you before? This world has two kinds of eyes. One is to view the entire world from a normal perspective, commonly known as the 'physical eye,' and the other is to view the world from an overhead perspective, like the 'eye of God.'"
"On this field, players with spatial awareness are almost all geniuses who adapt to the world's capabilities. Their so-called 'eyes' are their way of fighting. They can simulate the entire field's situation through information on the field and make various changes."
"I prefer to call this weapon 'predicting the field's movements and then adjusting to run to the easiest place to score.'"
"It's like playing a game...."
"However, now I've discovered a third kind of eye."
"And it's the most terrifying eye I've discovered so far: seeing the future."
"Seeing the future?" Anri was somewhat confused. "Mr. Ego, how is that possible? If I could see the future through my eyes, I would definitely not use it for playing football!"
Ego Jinpachi interlaced his fingers, revealing a strange smile. "It seems you still don't understand its true value... What you mean by 'seeing the future' is seeing what will happen a day, or even several days, later. But Ye Liangqiu's eyes can't see that far into the future; it's only for a brief instant."
"Do you know what that means?"
"A player can predict an opponent's movements, positioning, and passes in advance. Even a completely inexperienced football novice with this ability, facing a professional player head-on, can predict one step ahead and then steal or intercept the ball."
"Professional players can't even keep up with his speed."
"Do you still think it's ordinary?"
"I've watched his match recordings many times. This is just my estimation and speculation. Although I'm not sure if Ye Liangqiu truly possesses this almost abnormal power, if he does, we've already achieved eighty percent of our goal of creating the world's best striker."
Anri looked at Ego Jinpachi's smiling face, and goosebumps rose on her skin.
Before Blue Lock was even launched, who could have imagined that Ego had truly nurtured countless monsters within it?
Now, he was like a gardener, waiting for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.
Meanwhile, everyone on the field returned to their positions.
The ball came into Bachira's hands. He spread his arms, seemingly warming up, emitting an intimidating aura. The usual playful demeanor had completely vanished.
Behind him, Nagi Seishiro and the others seemed to have gotten into the zone after the previous goal.
As the whistle blew,
Bachira quickly dribbled the ball, his only goal being to tear through the opponent's defense. Black flames burned in his pupils as he charged towards Tokimitsu, his direct opponent.
Bachira was extremely agile now, completely different from before.
First, he flicked the ball into the air.
In the instant Tokimitsu's expression faltered, he performed an aerial Elastico, then a Marseille Roulette with the ball underfoot, swiftly piercing the first line of defense.
Tokimitsu came to his senses and tried to chase.
But he found that Bachira had already dribbled away. He licked his lips, "First one!"
The next second, a figure blocked his path.
Itoshi Rin's face was cold. He had faced Bachira before and knew that this mushroom-headed player's dribbling was extremely agile; one slight lapse in attention and he would be toyed with.
"It's you!" The moment Bachira saw Itoshi Rin's face, the flames in his pupils burned even brighter. The ball at his feet danced like an elf as he quickly performed step-overs.
But Itoshi Rin's eyes were calm, as if everything was under control.
Suddenly, Bachira's lips curled into a smile, "You fell for it, didn't you?"
The next second, he kicked hard to the right with his right foot, and the ball arced towards the side.
A figure was seen charging towards the ball.
Nagi Seishiro's body seemed to be entwined with countless dark arms, and half of his face had turned to bone, "I've come to challenge the BOSS."
His target was none other than Ye Liangqiu.
Their pupils met, and as if centered around them, darkness began to consume their surroundings. The intimidation seemed to ignite the entire field, and black flames danced in the air.
"Don't you know I like to destroy geniuses?" Ye Liangqiu's crimson eyes revealed a killing intent.
Nagi Seishiro's expression was calm, "I'm no longer a genius."
"I'm just an ordinary player who wants to get stronger!"
Their clash began the next second. Nagi Seishiro had learned many things when he was in Ye Liangqiu's team. He knew there were some weapons he couldn't replicate, but in terms of technique and physical advantage, he wouldn't yield an inch.
"My heart seems to be beating faster and faster."
"Inspiration continues to burst forth in my mind."
