Chapter 56 - Flaming (2/2)
The soccer field was deathly silent. Everyone stared blankly at the bits of glowing flames. A s.h.i.+ver ran up and down their spine and their hair literally stood on end.
“The ball is actually…. burning….” A student said in a trembling voice.
Another dumbstruck student continued, “It turns out that everything in the movies was real. When the soccer ball reaches a certain speed, it can ignite from its intense friction with the air and turn into a flaming soccer ball.”
Du Pengfeil’s three buddies looked as if they had just escaped from the Grim Reaper’s clutches. They were deathly pale and could no longer stand. They slumped to the ground in a cold sweat, panting heavily. Their bodies s.h.i.+vered uncontrollably. One guy’s crotch was soaking wet: he was so scared he lost control of his bladder.
Chu Yue and Bai Ling were thunderstruck. Was this happening? Xiao Luo had only taken a moment to turn this soccer field into a battlefield. This was too scary, way too scary!
The PE teacher finally exhaled. After the soccer ball ignited, it exploded at a critical moment without harming the three students, thank goodness. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened? He shuddered to think of the consequences.
Du Pengfei’s face was ashen, and his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth from anxiety. He could not utter a single word. His nine companions had collapsed in the blink of an eye. Even worse, they were crushed in soccer, a sport they prided themselves on. This was surreal. He was so panicked he could hardly breathe. His heart was beating so fast he thought it would beat out of his chest; his legs had turned to jelly.
“It’s your turn!”
Then he heard Xiao Luo’s cold and emotionless words.
After regaining his composure, Du Pengfei turned around and ran off like a wolf out of the field. He just kept running, the farther he was from the beast, the better.
“You think you can outrun a ball?”
Xiao Luo’s lips curled in a sneer as he sauntered toward a soccer ball.
No, No! Was he was going to shoot again? Stop him!
When the PE saw this, he took action.
“Stop your nonsense!”
He shouted and ran for a short distance before throwing himself on the ground and sliding the rest of the way. The soles of his feet approached the soccer ball in front of Xiao Luo. This was a beautiful sliding tackle: its purpose was to intercept Xiao Luo’s ball.
Xiao Luo glanced at him indifferently and lightly kicked the ball up with his foot. He quickly escaped the tackle, and then punted the ball with the back of his foot. The ball slowly rose, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air. It circ.u.mvented one person before rus.h.i.+ng toward Du Pengfei. It was as if the ball was alive. It sped up frantically at the critical moment.
“This is…. What did I see? Is this ‘bend it like Beckham?'”
The PE teacher was so surprised he momentarily forgot that Xiao Luo was using a soccer ball to crush someone.
The others were also shocked, too.
Du Pengfei, who was running wildly, felt the ball whizzing toward him from behind and tried to avoid it.
But it was too late!
Bam
The ball slammed fiercely against his back, the immense force knocking him to the ground. Du Pengfei rolled for four or five meters with the ball with a petrified look on his face and landed on the gra.s.s like a dog, panting heavily. Blades of gra.s.s stuck to the sides of his mouth and swayed with every breath he expelled.
The audience went silent. The images of the flaming soccer ball and the arc through the air that was like a rainbow lingered for a long time in everyone’s mind!
The PE teacher was relieved to see that Xiao Luo wasn’t making any more fatal moves. Otherwise, Du Pengfei and his companions would have been seriously injured or killed.
Xiao Luo walked toward Du Pengfei and stopped in front of him. He looked down at him from his towering position, “Tell your people from the mixed martial arts club, especially Song Jianan, that my patience is limited. If he doesn’t know how to restrain himself, I’ll go after him and destroy one of his hands. All of you will suffer with him. I mean it, so don’t test me!”
Arrogant. Domineering. Crazy!
The people present who heard these words felt a deep and real tremor in their souls.
