Chapter 246 Profound Meaning: Header Clearance

As Bai Ye knelt on the ground, Sha Wa Lang sprinted forward, catching the flying soccer ball and preparing to charge ahead.

But at this moment...

"Scyther, Metal Claw!"

Jin Sha shouted loudly. Immediately, Scyther spread its wings and soared into the sky. With a slash of its dual blades, a silver blade light struck the soccer ball first, sending it flying to the other side.

Jin Sha commanded again, "Dragonair, Hidden Power."

A white beast, resembling a snake and a dragon, raised its head. Then, an invisible force appeared and caught the falling soccer ball, thus maintaining possession.

Jin Sha glanced at Bai Ye, who was still twitching on the ground, and said, "I think their tactic is quite effective."

"This is called unfair play," Bai Ye suddenly jumped up from the ground, gritting his teeth as he ran forward, "Give me the ball!"

Jin Sha shrugged and glanced at Dragonair. Dragonair used its invisible force to send the soccer ball towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye quickly leaped to stop the ball...

The ball bounced three meters away...

Oh man, this is awkward!

However...

This is not an ordinary world, nor is this an ordinary soccer ball, and Bai Ye is no ordinary person...

*Bang!*

Bai Ye stomped on the ground fiercely, tearing up a chunk of turf, and then shot forward. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the rolling soccer ball.

Secret Technique: Pass to myself three seconds later!

"Snorlax!" a beast master shouted loudly, giving an order, "Stop him!"

A giant blue and white bear beast immediately blocked Bai Ye's path. Just as Bai Ye was about to slip past...

*Bang!*

Snorlax's massive body, over two meters tall, crashed directly into Bai Ye.

But...

It didn't budge him!

Snorlax's beast master was stunned. Was this guy even human?

His beast was Snorlax, a giant bear beast rumored to eat at least 400 kilograms of food daily, and it couldn't move this guy.

At the same time...

"Teleport!"

Bai Ye resisted the immense force from Snorlax and quickly looked ahead. Before the match began, Bai Ye had already set the teleportation destination.

The next instant, Bai Ye's figure disappeared and reappeared. He was now standing near the penalty spot, and then...

"Goal!"

Bai Ye raised his leg and kicked the soccer ball fiercely. As he lifted his leg, his right leg erupted in flames.

Phoenix Effect: Turns the soccer ball into a fireball, increasing shot speed and power by 50%.

With a *bang!*

The soccer ball was kicked with such force that it deformed, and then shot forward.

The moment the soccer ball flew out, the entire ball burst into flames, and the surrounding air became incredibly hot.

The surrounding beasts had no reaction and could not react. The ball was simply too fast.

The goalkeeper was the beast Riolu. Facing Bai Ye's shot, he felt immense pressure.

This was an unparalleled shot!

This was an unstoppable shot!

This was a peerless shot!

Then...

Riolu looked up and watched the burning soccer ball fly seven or eight meters above the goal, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing.

Silence descended upon the surroundings. A gentle breeze blew, causing the grass blades to sway slightly.

The next instant, the whistle suddenly sounded...

Goal kick!

Riolu shrugged, and Bai Ye trudged back dejectedly.

Jin Sha watched Bai Ye walk back and said speechlessly, "You missed a shot from the edge of the penalty area? And it went five or six meters high, how did you do that?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, just a small mistake," Bai Ye quickly said, "Next time I'll aim for the corner flag, and it'll definitely go into the goal."

Jin Sha: "..."

On the other side, a new soccer ball appeared on the goal line. Riolu did not boot it forward but gently nudged it forward, initiating a series of passes.

"Aipom, pass to the side."

"Farfetch'd, cross it."

"Quick, come support."

...

The soccer ball was passed rapidly. After moving back and forth in midfield, a selected contestant suddenly launched a long ball towards the wing.

The next instant, the Farfetch'd, who had been patrolling the wing, cried out "Quack quack" and began to run forward, batting the ball forward with the leek in its hand.

Jin Sha sighed, looking at how they played. This was how soccer should be played.

"Goodra, intercept!"

"Yaa~"

Goodra let out a cry and turned its rear towards Jin Sha.

Jin Sha's forehead twitched. He had forgotten that this creature was no longer his beast.

"Pikachu," Jin Sha immediately changed targets and shouted loudly, "Thunderbolt!"

*Zzzzzzap!*

Golden electric arcs exploded, streaking across the grass towards the front, filling the air with a scorched smell.

A large electric net formed, intending to intercept the soccer ball. But at this moment...

The opposing selected contestant shouted, "Aipom, Drain Punch."

The beast named Aipom suddenly charged forward. Then, Farfetch'd swung the leek in its hand forcefully, sending the soccer ball flying into the sky.

*Bang!*

Aipom punched forward, and immediately, the soccer ball shot forward.

"Hey, that's a foul!" Bai Ye shouted, "Handball, handball!"

Words appeared on the large screen...

Drain Punch: Uses the force of the punch to blast the soccer ball forward, increasing shot speed by 30% and with a certain probability of forming an S-shaped shot, causing the ball to shake and sway unpredictably.

"Punching wind?" Bai Ye cursed, "Can you be any more ridiculous?"

Jin Sha immediately shouted towards the goal, "Metagross, Iron Defense!"

Metagross, upon receiving the command, floated up rapidly, emitting a glow, attempting to block the shot head-on.

But, at this very moment...

The soccer ball wobbled strangely, swaying up and down, making its trajectory difficult to predict. As Metagross lunged towards the ball, it suddenly grazed Metagross's body and went straight for the goal.

Jin Sha couldn't help but slap his forehead. This was going to be bad...

The four opposing selected contestants couldn't help but cheer. This ball was going in!

But...

"Teleport!"

Suddenly, Bai Ye's figure flashed, and he traversed half the field, appearing in front of his own goal.

Bai Ye grunted, realizing he hadn't just set a destination at the opponent's goal, but also at his own.

"Bring it on!" Bai Ye spread his arms and said, "Let's see how you score..."

Bai Ye stopped mid-sentence, looking at the direction the soccer ball was flying from. Something seemed off.

This looked like a low shot aimed downwards?

Then...

*Bang!*

Bai Ye's eyes turned into spirals again. His body trembled, and he couldn't help but look down at his lower body, then silently collapsed to his knees.

"Snorlax used the move Body Slam to shoot..."

"Bai Ye activated the Secret Technique: Head Clearance..."

"Bai Ye's body and mind suffered severe trauma again..."
