The familiar opening music starts to play…>
In the upper right corner of the LCD screen in the pub, the familiar opening tune is heard from the sports channel.
Usually,
in Rogue’s Tavern, when the familiar melody plays, people turn their heads and watch the screen with interest.
However,
It’s strange that everyone in the pub, who are all football enthusiasts, do not seem to be attracted to the program when the sports channel begins its football commentary.
Everyone continues sipping their after-meal drinks and chatting quietly to themselves.
Seeing this,
A young man with a duckbill cap and a somewhat shy face asks the person beside him in a low voice:
“Brother Zhou-”
“Hmm?”
“Is there football commentary today? Why does it seem like everyone is not interested?” The young man asked curiously.
Hearing this,
“Pft, what’s there to watch today? Have you forgotten? It’s the national team against Bartanslei team!”
Brother Zhou couldn’t help but laugh, almost spilling his drink.
“Ah…playing against the Bartanslei team?”
The young man suddenly realizes.
In sports competitions between the Great Yan Kingdom and other countries, football has always been a sore point for everyone.
There’s an ancient saying: If there are many glorious aspects in other sports for the Great Yan Kingdom, there is an equal amount of humility in football.
They can’t even beat ragtag teams and some teams who live in war-torn countries with no guarantee of survival.
So,
After learning that it’s commentary for the national team, the young man loses interest and chats half-heartedly with his companion.
As everyone was chatting,
A statement from the host on the upper right LCD screen instantly attracts everyone’s attention.
In the video,
The neatly dressed and tidy-haired host, holding a manuscript, looks very serious on his face.
[Host: We interrupt with breaking news, according to the association’s amendment, the cultivator substitute team will replace the original team to play against the Bartanslei team!]
Huh??
Cultivator team?
The noisy pub instantly quiets down as everyone stops chatting, daydreaming or playing on their phones. The focus inevitably turns to the LCD screen in the upper right corner.
After the host’s words,
The director switches the screen,
And it shows eleven young men wearing soccer uniforms, each with long hair and tied up with a Daoist hat pin.
From their appearance, these young men exude an elegant and gentle aura, and they seem completely unrelated to the passionate, young soccer players.
“Are these people all cultivators?”
“Damn, when did they form a team of cultivators?”
“Well done, the Football Association has come up with a big move, where did they find this team of cultivators?”
Everyone is discussing and is very surprised.
The reason for this,
It’s not because cultivators are very rare, as there are already several million cultivators in the Great Yan Kingdom.
They are surprised that the Football Association is willing to change, letting the previous players off and replacing them with a team of cultivators.
Following the surprise,
An inexhaustible curiosity wells up in their hearts.
Cultivators… this occupation,
While not too rare, and even now, many students have become cultivators,
But they are not very common either. After all, amongst over a billion people in the Great Yan Kingdom, there are only more than one million cultivators, based on Taoist temples and distributed all over the country.
They have seen cultivators in their daily lives, but they don’t seem much different from ordinary people.
Nobody knows what kind of sparks the cultivators will create on the football field.
As everyone is surprised,
In the screen, the director switches the scene to the football field, with the host’s face thumbnail in the lower right corner of the screen.
[Left side host: The cultivator team appearing today consists of members who are…in the mid-stage of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi. ]
[Right side host: What kind of excellent performance can we expect from the cultivators, who are being used in the sports industry for the first time?]
[Left side host: Let’s watch the screen…]
With the host’s explanation,
Shhh-
The referee on the field also blew the whistle.
At the moment the whistle sounded, the eleven cultivators, as if they had taken Illuminate, suddenly came to life.
In less than a second.
The forward in the cultivators’ team had already brought the ball under control and charged in front of the opponent’s goal.
???
Stunned.
The members of the Bartanslei team were still dumbfounded in place, their throats slightly twitching as they struggled to swallow their saliva.
Not just the members of the Bartanslei team.
Even the audience on the scene was silent, staring dumbly at the live screen.
Before everyone could regain their senses.
Bang-
The cultivators’ forward just gently flicked, and the ball under his feet shot out like a rocket.
Even the goalkeeper of the Bartanslei team, seeing the ball’s speed, didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping it.
Tsk, tsk… such a fierce ball, if you really block it, you might end up dead or disabled-
They are not players of Great Yan Kingdom, just a few hundred yuan salary, what’s the point of risking their lives? Not necessary!
Without any surprises.
The ball went in.
Not only did it go in, but the spinning ball tore through the net, pierced through it, and flew out of the stadium.
Silence-
The entire audience, tens of thousands of people, made no sound other than heavy breathing.
Not just at the soccer match.
Rogue’s Tavern.
Everyone in front of the screen, too, raised their drinks and stared blankly at this scene.
So… they scored a goal?
They had imagined many possibilities, including a certain movie about kung fu and soccer, but none of them expected the result to be like this.
In fact.
Practice, this kind of thing, is a change in the level of life, even just Qi Introduction can make the body undergo a significant transformation.
Moreover, all the members of this team were Refining Essence and Transforming Qi (Mid-Stage).
Not exaggerating.
By the time of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi Mid-Stage, they could produce the effect of ‘Martial Arts Master’ simply by relying on the most superficial method of directly enhancing the body with Mana, even without learning any spells.
Half a moment later.
“Holy crap-”
“Did they score a goal?”
“Are we going to break the record and make it to the Asian Cup for our Great Yan Kingdom’s team?”
At this moment, people in the tavern regained their senses and pointed at the screen one after another, exclaiming loudly.
The following results were not unexpected either.
On the screen… The referee put the ball in the middle for the other team to kick off, but at the moment he blew the whistle, it was snatched away by the cultivators of Great Yan Kingdom.
One second later, with a ‘bang’ sound, another ball entered the goal and flew out from the torn net, landing at the back of the audience seats.
Until the soccer match ended.
People in the tavern were still somewhat dazed.
The drinks in their glasses hadn’t decreased at all, and their expressions remained surprised.
It turns out…
It turns out that the cultivators participating in competitive sports would be so terrifying.
This was the first time that the lower and middle class people in the Great Yan Kingdom, and the entire world, had directly felt the huge gap between cultivators and ordinary people.
“Brothers, in celebration of the Great Yan Kingdom’s team’s first victory today, all drinks are fifty percent off, and beer is free!”
Fatty Boss came out and said over the microphone to everyone.
“Oh- Long live the Boss!”
“That’s good, I just got laid off and I don’t have much money to spare.”
“Yeah, I got laid off too yesterday, the future is uncertain. I wanted to come to Brother Lang’s tavern to drown my sorrows.”
At this moment.
The people in the tavern cheered and jumped for joy even more.
For adults, although it’s great that Great Yan Kingdom’s team won their first victory, what really makes them happy concerns their own wallets.
