56 Flaming (1/2)
”DING! Congratulations, you've received the 'soccer talent!' ”
Xiao Luo ignored the system notification in his mind as he looked askance at Du Pengfei with cold eyes and a dark countenance. The temperature on the field seemed to have dropped several degrees. Everyone shuddered involuntarily.
”You guys like to play soccer, don't you? Okay. I'll play with you!”
Licking his lips cruelly, Xiao Luo mentally prepared himself for the game as he walked toward another soccer ball and stood silent with his eyes focused on the ball. Then with high concentration, he drew his foot back and struck the ball powerfully, completing the action smoothly in one go. There was nothing hesitant about his movement.
The ball soared as it carried a strong wind that whistled and howled. It spun at high speed while tearing through the air, quickly closing the distance of twenty or thirty meters before forcefully striking the forehead of a sports student. The impact did not stop there. The student's sturdy body flew backward as it spun head over heels like an out-of-control car before finally crashing to the ground three or four meters away.
The student's head buzzed, and his brain seemed to have turned into a pot of mush that was being stirred. He tried very hard to stand up. It was as if he'd lost his cerebellum, for he could not maintain his balance at all and kept falling to the ground again and again like a drunkard.
Without waiting for the audience to react, Xiao Luo kicked another ball.
Bam bam bam
Immediately, four sports students toppled to the ground.
Hiss....
The spectators sucked in their breath as they looked on with horror-filled eyes. To crush someone with a soccer ball? What kind of skill and power was behind those kids? Perhaps this guy was the Omega Supreme.
Chu Yue and Bai Ling watched Xiao Luo in disbelief; they thought he was one of a kind.
With people watching with rapt attention, Xiao Luo got into a shooting position with an expressionless face. He lowered his upper body to the point where his face nearly touched the ball. His right foot was raised high up and back, and his body was solely supported by his left foot.
Oh my God! How can he keep his balance like this?
Everyone was staring at him in awe.
The PE teacher was starting to get nervous. What if someone got hurt? Such a shooting position was unheard of. He had never witnessed anything like it, but he could sense its dominance and power. The purpose of the posture was to concentrate the body's strength on the right foot. When the raised right foot came down, this power could be maximized to the extreme. Xiao Luo's usual kicking technique was fierce enough. If he kicked this ball and it hit a person, wouldn't it.... cause serious injury or possibly death?
When he thought about this, the PE teacher burst into a cold sweat.
”Stop.... Stop right now!”
He shouted and rushed toward Xiao Luo to stop him from shooting this ball.
But it was too late. Xiao Luo's right foot had already kicked the ball.
Roar!
The ball thundered. Its trajectory was no longer a parabola but a line that seemed straight to the naked eye as it clung close to the ground. It flew toward Du Penghei's three remaining buddies with a whistle.
The eyes of the three people nearly bulged out from their eye sockets. The soccer ball spinning at high speed became bigger and bigger in their vision. Suddenly, they thought they were hallucinating as that flying orb turned into a fireball.
They blinked, scared witless. No, they weren't hallucinating. This was real. The ball, burning like a comet with a tail of red flames, was rushing at them with a violent, stormy power that would sweep away everything in its path!
”Help..... help!”
The three of them closed their eyes and screamed, sure they were going to die. Their hearts were shrouded in a red-hot glow.
Bang
The burning ball exploded a few inches from the three students, scattering red-hot flames on the ground. A pungent scorching odor filled the air as thick black smoke rose.
Total silence.
