Lu Daquan was like a runaway horse on the field, incredibly fast, breaking through with the ball, passing along the sidelines, and coordinating seamlessly with Zhao Liang. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Xu Xiangbei smiled and nodded: "This kid has pretty good skills, I didn’t pick the wrong person."

Lu Daquan received a pass from David at midfield, dodged several opponents’ attempts to snatch the ball, and charged down the right sideline toward the opponent’s baseline.

He was really quick, weaving past two defenders’ double team, eager to pass the ball to Zhao Liang in the middle, but never got the chance, as the opponents stationed two defenders to guard him closely.

He had to carry the ball forward, almost reaching the baseline, spotting a gap, he made a sudden cross, the ball drawing a beautiful parabolic arc mid-air, landing towards the penalty area.

Zhao Liang had been waiting patiently in the middle, seeing the ball finally come soaring, his face lit up with joy, he suddenly sped up, diving like a fish, and headed the ball into the bottom right corner of the opponent’s goal.

Suddenly, the field erupted in wild cheers as Zhao Liang’s goal tied the score.

Xu Xiangbei applauded as well: "Their coordination is very seamless, each step tightly interlinked, from David to Lu Daquan, then Lu Daquan to Zhao Liang, it was a beautiful play, it seems future matches of your team will be more and more exciting."

Coach Martin flashed a proud smile: "Thanks to you for giving me such a good player."

After Qinghai Team evened the score, the referee blew the whistle for halftime, Xu Xiangbei believed there should be no suspense now, with Lu Daquan Qinghai Team was like a drawn sword, surely able to defeat Celestial Light Sea.

Just as he left the soccer field, seven or eight burly men emerged from the roadside, surrounding him.

They were none other than Big Shrimp and company, whom he had beaten up yesterday, looking like the judo team’s elites, led by a burly man full of beard.

Big Shrimp showed a pitiful face: "Master, it’s this kid who broke San’s nose, knocked out my three teeth, and wrecked your Chevrolet."

Coach Big Beard coldly stared at Xu Xiangbei: "You kid beat up my three disciples alone, using an over-the-shoulder throw? Have you trained in judo?"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled foolishly: "No, I haven’t. But all martial arts originate from the ’Taigu Initial Sutra’, always the same principles. Although I haven’t trained in judo, I know a few throws. Master, do you want to learn?"

Big Shrimp and the others immediately widened their eyes, Big Shrimp was both scared and angry, pointing at Xu Xiangbei: "You kid disrespect my master like this, do you want to die?"

Xu Xiangbei suddenly raised his hand, pretending to grab Big Shrimp’s hand, Big Shrimp got scared and ran back, hiding behind the master, pale-faced, screaming: "Don’t throw me, don’t throw me."

Coach Big Beard got suddenly furious: "Big Shrimp, stand up, what’s there to fear? With the master here, he won’t throw you."

Big Shrimp shook his head, continued cowering behind the master, full of fear.

Big Shrimp was thrown terribly by Xu Xiangbei yesterday, it was such a throw that from yesterday until now his whole body felt like broken bones, and what saddened him most was three teeth were missing, making him speak with gaps everywhere, unclear.

Coach Big Beard sneered: "Kid, you are really arrogant, I didn’t want to bully the young, but without teaching you a lesson, I can’t vent my anger, come to the judo gym, let’s have a good throw."

Xu Xiangbei grinned and said: "I don’t have time to go to the judo gym to wrestle with you, let’s do it right here."

"So arrogant, master teach him a lesson."

"Master throw him to death."

Big Shrimp with a pitiful face: "Master, I need to go to the bathroom."

Coach Big Beard said coldly: "Useless stuff, you’re not allowed, watch how the master throws this punk down."

Xu Xiangbei smirked: "And if you can’t throw me, and I throw you down instead?"

"Arrogant, if you throw me down, I’ll give you my position as the judo team coach."

"I’m not interested, nor have time to be the judo team coach. Here’s the deal, if I throw you down, your whole team has to run around the soccer field, barking like a dog."

Coach Big Beard looked disdainful: "If I throw you down, you also have to run around the soccer field, barking like a dog."

Xu Xiangbei grinned and said: "Okay, then it’s settled, whoever goes back on their word is a puppy."

They found a quiet secluded spot, Coach Big Beard took off his jacket and handed it to his disciple, it was his favorite coat, couldn’t be crumpled nor damaged.

He posed dramatically, and made polite gestures of conceding and offering.

Ready with the poses, Coach Big Beard suddenly charged at Xu Xiangbei, as ferocious as a big grizzly bear.

Coach Big Beard planned to grab Xu Xiangbei’s waist and do a very heavy back throw to injure, if not fatally then maiming. But when he reached in front of Xu Xiangbei, he found Xu Xiangbei mysteriously vanishing in front of him.

Just as he looked around in surprise, searching where Xu Xiangbei went, Xu Xiangbei emerged behind him, grabbed his waistband with one hand and forcefully took hold of Big Beard’s arm with the other.

Coach Big Beard, experienced, hurried to squat down, intending to use his weight to break free from Xu Xiangbei’s control.

However, before he could fully execute the move, he felt himself soaring into the air, like a massive stone thrown out, he crashed heavily into the roadside greenery, covered in mud from head to toe.

Coach Big Beard was dizzy from the fall, unclear how he ended up inside.

Coach Big Beard stood back up unyieldingly, dusting off the mud, furiously said: "Kid, you dare sneak attack me, you have to let me stand in position first to make a move."

Xu Xiangbei laughed: "In a battlefield, will the enemy wait for you to draw your gun before shooting you?"

Coach Big Beard glared and said: "I don’t care about that, this time doesn’t count, let’s do it again."

His disciples shouted as well: "This time doesn’t count, let’s do it again."

Xu Xiangbei sneered: "Still the same result even if we do it a few more times, you fools."

Coach Big Beard changed his attack strategy this time, advancing in a circling fashion, swaying left and right, yet again ended up being thrown by Xu Xiangbei into the greenery using the same method.

And this time, no one dared to stop Xu Xiangbei, everyone fled without a trace.

Xu Xiangbei only caught Coach Big Beard alone: "According to our agreement, you go run around the soccer field barking, hurry, or I’ll toss you into mud."

Coach Big Beard’s face turned crimson, he ran around the soccer field barking, causing all spectators to laugh, thinking it was a halftime game.
