Chapter 13: Breaking the Deadlock with Violence

"But if this keeps up, Lin Rou and the others are definitely going to lose!" Wang Hu said in extreme anxiety.

"Xiaofan, now that one of our people has died because of a foul, the opponents outnumber us. If we don't think of a good way out soon, we're really in deep trouble," Hu Xiaotian said, scratching his ears and cheeks in panic.

At this moment, hearing these words, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes lit up, and he said, "I have a plan."

On the field.

Due to the victory of Class 1-6, the chat group announced another three-minute break. Lin Rou and the others looked with ashen faces at Liu Neng and his smug companions on the opposite side, their minds in complete chaos.

"It's over, it's over, we're all going to die, wuwu..." Chunying burst into tears.

The other two male students also wore gloomy expressions of deep despair, evidently having accepted their fate.

Lin Rou looked anxiously at this scene and said, "Pull yourselves together, everyone. There are still ten minutes left, and we can definitely win."

Chunying cried, "It's impossible. Our ball skills are inferior to theirs, our speed is inferior to theirs, and our numbers are fewer than theirs. We're bound to lose! We'll end up just like Sudan, dying a miserable death!"

"Crack!" Lin Rou stepped forward and delivered a slap, saying viciously, "If you run your mouth again, I'll break your hand off."

Chunying covered her face and dared not speak, but her eyes were filled with terror.

"Look, the time isn't even up yet and they're already fighting among themselves," Liu Neng shouted smugly.

Immediately, the students of Class 1-6 began pointing and whispering at Lin Rou, saying she must have lost her mind from desperation and started blaming her own teammates.

Just as Lin Rou was about to retort with curses, her phone buzzed with a text message notification.

Opening her phone, Lin Rou saw the message displayed on the screen, and a smile curved the corner of her lips.

Then she looked over at Zhang Xiaofan, who was sending messages not far away, and nodded heavily.

"Xiaofan, your idea is truly brilliant!" Lin Rou murmured softly.

She immediately summoned her four remaining teammates and held a brief, whispered consultation. Upon learning the strategy to deal with their opponents next, the four teammates nodded heavily, joy surging across their faces.

Ding!

"The match begins!"

Since Lin Rou's side had conceded the goal in the previous round, it was still their turn to kick off. Lin Rou dribbled the ball, keeping her eyes fixed on Liu Neng as her feet moved rapidly. This time, she didn't use many fancy tricks, and her speed wasn't even particularly fast.

Seeing Lin Rou dribbling like this near their own goalpost, Liu Neng and the others looked at her with utter contempt. Liu Neng said to Qin Jing, "They must be losing their minds from desperation. Her speed is slow now, go block her."

Qin Jing's speed was considerably higher, making it effortless for her to intercept.

Qin Jing nodded and sprinted forward at lightning speed, arriving in front of Lin Rou amidst a chorus of gasps.

"Little girl, with your speed, you're still a bit too green," Qin Jing said with a cold sneer, before suddenly sliding in to tackle the ball away from Lin Rou's feet.

She had every confidence. As an athlete, she had some experience with football, and neither her technique nor her footwork was anything Lin Rou could compare to.

Yet the next moment, the corners of Lin Rou's mouth curved upward, and suddenly, she kicked the ball straight toward Qin Jing!

Normally, at such close range, the player kicking the ball would try to evade a block or pass to a teammate, but Lin Rou did neither, aiming it directly at Qin Jing instead.

This scene made everyone's expression freeze, followed instantly by a burst of jeering laughter from Class 1-6.

The ball sped toward Qin Jing. Because the distance was so short and Qin Jing hadn't expected Lin Rou to kick the ball straight at her, she had no defenses prepared. In a split second, the ball flew squarely against Qin Jing's wrist.

Though it was just a graze, the ball undoubtedly made contact with Qin Jing's hand.

"This chick must have lost her mind from losing! She actually kicked the ball right toward Qin Jing, what a moron!"

"Not just a moron, she's brain-dead to the extreme! With Qin Jing's speed now, grabbing that football is way too easy."

The students of Class 1-6 mocked derisively. However, at that moment, Qin Jing suddenly froze in place, letting the ball roll past her.

"What's going on?" Liu Neng roared.

Qin Jing turned her head with great difficulty. Fine bloody lacerations suddenly appeared around her neck, and the next second, her head was blasted right off by a fountain of gushing blood. Blood spewed from her neck like a geyser. Qin Jing's body convulsed a few times before collapsing to the ground, motionless.

Looking down with pity at the headless corpse, Lin Rou wore a savage grin. "This round, we win."

Ding!

"Qin Jing fouled, death penalty! Due to a foul by Class 1-6, Team Class 2-4 scores one point."

This scene shocked everyone in Class 1-6, while cheers erupted on Zhang Xiaofan's side.

"They actually... resorted to tricks!" Liu Neng's expression turned unimaginably ugly. They weren't fools; connecting it to the moment Lin Rou suddenly kicked the ball toward Qin Jing earlier, they finally realized that the ball had made contact with Qin Jing's wrist.

That pretty girl on the opposing side had deliberately kicked it there!

Lin Rou said proudly, "Who told her to come and snatch my ball? If you're not convinced, come and fight."

Liu Neng let out a cold snort and immediately began consulting countermeasures with his remaining teammates.

"Boss, we're leading by a goal, I'm confident."

Liu Neng nodded and said, "I'll kick off in a moment. You guys keep the others steady, and I'll strive to score another goal within the remaining time."

"Understood."

The three-minute break passed quickly, and Liu Neng stepped up to kick off.

This time, he was even more cautious, firmly keeping the ball under control at his feet, while his teammates wore grim expressions as they stood in front of Lin Rou's team members, constantly harassing them.

Lin Rou charged toward Liu Neng instantly and said coldly, "Since you won't let me touch the ball, I'll just smash my way through with brute force!"

As her words fell, she threw a punch through the air. Ripples spread across space, and an invisible fist-force slammed swiftly into Liu Neng's chest.

"Bang!"

Liu Neng was sent flying backward, vomiting a mouthful of blood before he even hit the ground.

His teammates also suffered attacks one after another. They were all novices who had just joined the Red Packet Group and simply didn't have enough underworld currency to purchase physical enhancements. Fighting against Lin Rou and the others meant they were completely at the mercy of their abusers.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Chunying and her other teammates unleashed their maximum strength. Even though their opponents were strapping men, under the boost of mental power, Chunying and the others could still easily knock them down.

After Liu Neng was sent flying, the excruciating pain in his chest made it impossible for him to stand up. Lin Rou sneered; the entire field was now under their complete control.

With only three minutes left, she leisurely walked up to the football and scored without any effort.

After the system chimed to confirm a successful goal, they rested for three minutes. Because of Liu Neng's injury, Afei took the kickoff for the opposing side.

Afei looked at the ball with trembling hands. It was simply too terrifying! Those few girls on the opposing team had actually unleashed such terrifying strength. He had wanted to bully them a moment ago, never expecting that they would push him away effortlessly.

The more Afei thought about it, the more terrified he became, especially seeing their captain, Liu Neng, slapped flying by a girl who looked utterly pure. They were basically humanoid beasts!

"Hey, big guy, kick off already. I'll make sure to properly repay you for the way you bumped into me just now," Lin Rou said with a smile.
