"What are you doing? Are you looking to die!"
Not far from Bai Ye, another chosen one immediately shouted and walked towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye spread his hands. As the other person approached, Bai Ye raised his thumb and made a throat-slitting gesture, with an expression that said, "Come at me if you dare!"
The man was instantly enraged, charging towards Bai Ye. Just then, another chosen one rushed over and hugged his companion.
"Calm down, calm down. If you attack him, you'll get a card and be sent off!"
Hearing this, the chosen one calmed down and forcibly stopped himself.
"Tsk!"
Bai Ye pouted. His plan had failed. Bai Ye had wanted the other person to come and beat him up.
Meanwhile...
Two white robots, marked with red crosses, carried a stretcher into the arena. After loading the injured person onto it, they carried him out of the arena.
Simultaneously, with the departure of the chosen one, his three spirit beasts also disappeared.
Spirit beasts could only fill the vacant spots of a participant, but they couldn't replace the chosen ones. When their master was carried away, the spirit beasts naturally had to leave.
The remaining three people huddled together to discuss and then replaced their spirit beasts.
Bai Ye took the opportunity to go to the sideline to take a throw-in.
Although the person was knocked out by Bai Ye, the soccer ball did indeed hit him and go out of bounds.
And he could use his hands...
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin!
*Crack, crack!*
Bai Ye cracked his knuckles, making them pop, then began his run-up, grabbed the soccer ball, and threw it forward.
"Not good!" a chosen one shouted, "He's going for a direct shot!"
With his feet, Bai Ye lacked accuracy. Even standing in the penalty box, Bai Ye would sky a shot.
But with his hands, it was different!
With a boom!
Bai Ye's hands ignited with flames. The flames erupted with a deafening explosion, and the soccer ball shot forward.
Then...
The other side suddenly felt something was wrong. The soccer ball seemed to be flying towards the goal, but its trajectory was shifting to the right.
A chosen one's face turned ashen.
Bai Ye's target wasn't the goal, but him!
"Farfetch'd!"
A chosen one quickly summoned his spirit beast. Immediately, Farfetch'd sprinted towards the soccer ball, leaped high, and swung its leek forward, but...
*Rumble!*
The sound of an explosion echoed again!
The flames wrapped around the soccer ball burst forth, blasting Farfetch'd away. Then, the soccer ball flew out of bounds, hit the side wall, and shattered a section of it.
Bai Ye shrugged and said, "You'll have to get a new spirit beast."
Farfetch'd lay on the ground, knocked out.
"What do you want?"
A chosen one growled at Bai Ye.
"Nothing," Bai Ye walked towards him, brushing past him and bumping him with his shoulder. "Just teaching you how to play real death football."
After speaking, Bai Ye strode away. After about five or six meters, seeing that the other person didn't chase after him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Was this guy a Ninja Turtle? So patient!
If they were penalized for another chosen one, the remaining two might not be able to field a full team.
Jin Sha directed her Scyther to take the throw-in. Because it touched Farfetch'd before going out, the ball possession was still Bai Ye and Jin Sha's.
Scyther threw the ball back. A chosen one took out the mirror again and shined it at the soccer ball.
The next instant, the soccer ball that flew back instantly multiplied into more than a dozen, making it impossible to tell which was the real one.
Jin Sha said anxiously, "Don't let them get the ball."
"Don't worry, it's fine even if they get the ball," Bai Ye said as he ran past Jin Sha. "With so many spirit beasts swapped on their side, they can't use their practiced tactics anymore."
Indeed, just as Bai Ye said, the opponent used the soccer ball illusion to regain possession. However, they didn't attack immediately. Instead, they passed the ball sideways to control it first.
The next moment, the soccer ball was passed to Snorlax's feet. Its massive body immediately charged forward.
It wasn't fast, but its momentum was terrifying. Moreover, Snorlax's bulk charging forward was like a bulldozer.
Jin Sha immediately shouted, "Machoke, go for the ball!"
Machoke pounded its chest and roared, then charged forward to try and dispossess Snorlax, but...
*Bang!*
Snorlax's shoulder dipped, and it directly shoved Machoke aside.
Machoke was enraged and quickly ran back, butting heads with Snorlax.
Machoke was a spirit beast with a humanoid body and four arms. Its muscles were chiseled like granite, and as its name suggested, it possessed terrifying strength. Catching up to Snorlax again, Machoke was no longer gentle and directly collided with Snorlax.
*Bang, bang, bang...*
Their bodies repeatedly impacted, producing dull thuds like flesh hitting flesh.
Their movements resembled wrestling, a pure collision of strength that was exhilarating to watch. As long as they didn't use their hands, these collisions were considered legal contact and would not be ruled as fouls.
Then...
*Bang!*
After another collision, Machoke and Snorlax both fell to the side, crashing heavily onto the ground. Their strength was evenly matched, neither able to gain an advantage.
The ball lost control and rolled away to the side.
"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"
"Arcanine, Charge!"
Jin Sha's Pikachu turned into a flash of lightning and charged forward. The opponent's Arcanine also sprinted rapidly, leaving trails of afterimages in its wake.
Then...
*Bang!*
Both sides collided with the soccer ball simultaneously.
The soccer ball began to crackle with golden lightning, and sparks flew around it. Then...
With a boom, the collision of lightning and fire erupted with a thunderous roar.
Amidst the lightning and fire, both Pikachu and Arcanine were blasted away.
Because of Bai Ye, the otherwise peaceful match suddenly became filled with animosity. Every tackle turned into a fight to the death.
Watching the soccer ball roll to the side, an opponent chosen one quickly stepped forward to control it. Bai Ye gave a look, and Goodra charged forward.
Seeing the body of Goodra, which was two sizes larger than his own, rushing towards him, the chosen one immediately backed down. He wasn't just a spirit beast owner; he was a trainer from the spirit beast world himself, and his physical attributes were quite ordinary. He had no ability to confront a spirit beast head-on.
Therefore, Goodra easily gained control of the ball and then swept its tail, sending the ball back towards Bai Ye.
"Here it comes!" Bai Ye said with a grin as the ball fell from the air, "Cover your faces, don't get hit."
As he spoke, Bai Ye raised his foot, preparing to shoot.
