Ch47 - Rushing the Pagoda (1/2)
The three ancient skeletons turned and approached the square. Countless jaguars surrounded the square and eyed those inside ravenously.
“Two out of three wins the match.” The voice said, and then the door to Chichén Itzá abruptly opened.

The skeleton soldiers each raised a foot and stepped on the blue ball of fire in front of them.
“Can you do it?” Zhou Sheng asked Yu Hao, glancing at the iron ring that floated in the distance.
“What do you think?” Yu Hao said, “How could I?!”
The ring was so far away that Yu Hao couldn’t even hope to shoot it in.
“Then it’s up to the two of us.” Zhou Sheng said as he looked at Chen Yekai.
Chen Yekai turned his head, looked at the skeleton soldiers, then said, “Yu Hao, you go first.”

Yu Hao thought, of all the things you could do in your dream, why did it have to be soccer?! Couldn’t you have chosen something I was good at?!
“I’ll try my best.” Yu Hao said, “Anyway, it’s 2 out of 3, so I’ll leave it up to you guys.”
Zhou Sheng conveyed with his gaze for Yu Hao to remain calm. Yu Hao surveyed his surroundings for a long time, then raised his foot and violently kicked the fireball. The blue ball of fire sailed upwards and whizzed through the air in an arc. Chen Yekai immediately began to cheer.
Zhou Sheng, “Nice!”
But in the next moment, that skeleton soldier suddenly kicked and another blue light catapulted through the air and collided with Yu Hao’s ball, which ricocheted off and passed by the floating ring of light at a sharp angle!
“That’s not fair!” Yu Hao was still immersed in the shock of actually scoring a goal a minute ago, but now he cried out furiously at the injustice.
That voice rang out again, “You have failed, await death ba, just like me……”
Yu Hao said angrily, “You cheater! There’s no way to win! He’s making his own rules!”
Zhou Sheng raised his hand to stop Yu Hao, then he stepped forward, “Mr. Nakagawa, 2 out of 3, that’s our deal. If you’re going to make a bet, then you should be willing to accept a loss. It’s our turn now, who’ll go first?”
Chen Yekai pondered for a moment, then looked at the skeleton soldiers beside them, “I’ll go first ba.”
Chen Yekai gestured to Yu Hao to reassure him. Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao took two steps back. Chen Yekai murmured, “Ryuusei, I still have a lot that I want to say to you. I have been waiting for this opportunity all my life.”
At the same time, Chen Yekai quickly moved forward, lifted his foot — while another of the skeleton soldiers beside him lifted its foot as well — and kicked the ball!
But the veteran Chen Yekai had feinted. He spun around, crouched slightly, and paused for a moment before kicking the ball after the skeleton soldier had made its move!

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng cheered loudly together. All that could be seen were two blue fire shots that rushed towards the ring one after the other; the ball that Chen Yekai kicked arced beautifully and knocked away the skeleton soldier’s ball before passing through the ring!
That voice suddenly burst into a rage, “You hypocritical scum!”
Chen Yekai looked up towards the pyramid and said calmly, “Take me away, Ryuusei, then everything will end!”
“Not yet!” Zhou Sheng said lazily. He walked forward and stepped on the flaming ball, “It’s the last ball, how could we let you go alone?”
Yu Hao immediately became nervous. That voice said coldly, “Then come ba, let me see how capable you are.”

Yu Hao, “But I don’t have a lot of strength.”
Zhou Sheng, “Just give me as much as you have.”
Yu Hao tried to press his hand against Zhou Sheng’s back. Chen Yekai eyed the two of them suspiciously, but the shield in Zhou Sheng’s hand suddenly flashed and began to morph rapidly. Zhou Sheng shouted, “Get back!”
Yu Hao promptly retreated. Zhou Sheng stepped on the ball and quickly shook the shield to reveal the form of a shining jingubang——
“Fuck you!” Zhou Sheng roared angrily. He turned and swung his jingubang, harshly smashing down the skeleton captain on the other side of the square.
Yu Hao, “……”

Zhou Sheng briefly transformed into Sun Wukong while he was in the air. He did a mid-air somersault and swung his dinghaishenzhen down, immediately obliterating an entire row of tiles in the square along with the skeleton captain!
Chen Yekai was completely stunned. Next Zhou Sheng then spun around in the air, returned to his human form, then kicked out a shot of blue light — it flew like a meteor whistling through the sky, and scored!
The third ball passed through the ring. The barrier that blocked Chichén Itzá’s gate disintegrated with a bang. The floating iron ring emitted a glaring light that formed a stairway up to the pyramid. Yu Hao and Chen Yekai both cheered, but Zhou Sheng shouted, “Go!”
With Zhou Sheng in the lead, the three of them rushed towards the stairway as that voice roared angrily, “You didn’t abide by the rules!”
Zhou Sheng mocked him, “It’s my rule.”
Within an instant, the whole world began to quake violently. All the panthers quickly advanced upon them as the stairway began to disintegrate. Chen Yekai was behind them. He shouted, “The two of you go ahead! Don’t worry about me!”
Zhou Sheng pulled Yu Hao upwards, and the two of them sprinted up the stairway and rushed towards the entrance to Chichén Itzá with Chen Yekai following closely behind. When Yu Hao looked behind him, his vision filled with imminently advancing lightning strikes that blanketed the sky and covered the earth. Chen Yekai turned around and guarded the stairway. From the periphery of this world, the storm of lightning bestowed by the heavens converged towards the center; all of the rainforest areas were ablaze with raging fires, and the panthers that had reached them were rapidly set ablaze one after the other by lightning before falling off right in front of the stairway!
“Kaikai!” Zhou Sheng shouted, “Go!”
Chen Yekai seemed to realise that he could control the lightning, so he immediately ignited all of the panthers that were almost upon them before turning around to follow the other two. While Yu Hao ran, he shouted to Zhou Sheng, “Everywhere outside is on fire!”
Zhou Sheng shouted, “Don’t be afraid! We have time! It’s safe inside!”
The area around the pyramid had already been engulfed in a sea of fire. The flames illuminated the dim conscious world into stark brightness. The three of them rushed madly into the entrance of Chichén Itzá, and the pyramid’s gate slammed shut.
The three of them then dashed into a spacious hall.
Zhou Sheng came to a sudden halt. Only another huge gate was visible before him; there were massive gems in a myriad of colours embedded into the gate in a haphazard arrangement, and the ceiling that surrounded them had grooves that looked like ditches. The gems filled the grooves and sparkled with a bright luster.

“And what the hell is this?” Zhou Sheng asked.
Chen Yekai stood in the middle of the hall with a blank face.
Yu Hao stepped forward and tried to press a gemstone on the gate that was near the ground. The gemstone lit up with a “ding”.
Zhou Sheng, “A mechanism?”
Yu Hao pressed another one, and the second gemstone that was of the same colour began to shine as well.
Yu Hao, “……”
Yu Hao pressed a third stone. The gemstones began to rotate and switch positions, and after they aligned in a straight line, they disappeared with a “dang”. The gemstones above them fell into place after the gems vanished with a few “thud”s.
