77: Chapter 77 Ex-girlfriend shows up! Wenger: Are you a monster sent by heaven to destroy Arsenal?

After obtaining "Carloss Shooting Power (Superstar)", a crazy idea popped into Yu Bai's mind—could he fuse it with "Beckhams Curve (Star)" to strike a shot that was both powerful and curved, a "Banana Blast" that defied the laws of physics?

It was just like Tsubasa Oozora's drive shot in Captain Tsubasa, with explosive speed and a bizarre curve, becoming a unique signature move.

This was probably the ultimate dream hidden deep in the heart of every boy who played football.

But it was difficult, far too difficult.

During training, he tried combining the two techniques with seventy to eighty percent of his power, but the probability of hitting the target was only fifty percent, and his accuracy was erratic.

If he went all out, he could fluke three or four out of ten when in good form, but when in bad form... it was all up to fate.

Yet, whenever he occasionally struck one where the power and curve blended perfectly, the sight was enough to make even Yu Bai himself jump with excitement—the ball speed was like a cannonball, the curve like a rainbow, and the trajectory it carved in the air was truly "anti-physical"!

The goalkeeper wanted to save it? Only if the ball was kicked right at him.

As long as he hit the angle, Yu Bai dared to say, it was absolutely a "godly goal" that would make even the gods shake their heads!

At this moment, he stood behind the ball.

The final attack of the first half, forty-five meters out.

"Give it a shot!"

"If it goes in, I'll go down in history!"

"If it doesn't? Forget it!"

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and in his eyes, only the distant goal and that perfect imagined trajectory remained.

...

At the entrance of the VIP tunnel in the stands, two dazzling women entered in a slightly hurried manner.

Due to a flight delay, Shen Muwan and Dilraba had rushed over and finally arrived.

They were here for both public and private reasons—a new endorsement for Head & Shoulders.

Yu Bai had signed his first commercial endorsement for ten million RMB, and Dilraba was not only another spokesperson, but under Shen Muwan's "matchmaking", she had become the female lead for Yu Bai's advertisement.

As soon as Shen Muwan found her seat, her gaze was drawn to the blue figure on the pitch: "Is Xiao Bai... going to shoot directly?"

She happened to see Yu Bai measuring his steps, preparing to take that ridiculously distant Free kick.

Dilraba looked in the direction of her gaze, and that blue number 52 jersey instantly came into view.

She didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Yet, this gaze from the stands, perhaps carrying complex emotions, seemed to traverse the distance in some mysterious way, subtly disturbing the concentration Yu Bai had just gathered.

...

Yu Bai was holding his breath, adjusting to his best state.

Suddenly—

[Ding—]

A sudden system notification exploded in his mind.

[At 32, your life trajectory has completely changed since your retirement and comeback.

At this moment, you have encountered your ex-girlfriend Dilraba on the pitch again.

You once broke up due to your irresponsibility and avoidance, eventually becoming the most familiar strangers.]

[Task Triggered: Re-establish an intimate connection with Dilraba (Favorability must reach a specific threshold)]

[Task Reward: 1 Free Definition-Breaking Point]

[Special Note: Definition-Breaking Points can be used to enhance attributes with an overall rating of 90 or above.]

Yu Bai: "???"

He was instantly stunned, maintaining his slightly hunched preparation posture, his mind in a chaotic mess.

Dilraba? My ex-girlfriend?

We broke up because I was irresponsible?

System, what the hell are you barking about?!

The sheer volume of information almost fried his CPU.

He had been stunned for a bit too long.

The fans at King Power Stadium thought he was under too much pressure and needed encouragement, so they spontaneously stood up en masse, erupting in thunderous applause and shouts to cheer him on!

"Yu! Bai!"

"Shoot!"

"Come on!"

This deafening sound wave snapped Yu Bai back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.

"Screw it! Whatever!"

Yu Bai gritted his teeth, cast all those messy thoughts to the back of his mind, refocused his eyes, and revealed a fierce gaze.

"Damn it!"

Run-up!

After a few steps, Yu Bai planted his left foot, tilted his body, and swung his right leg with all his might like a whip, his instep slamming solidly into the lower-left part of the ball!

"Bang—!!!"

A thunderous explosion, like a cannonball firing!

The ball turned into a beam of white light, rising from the ground, spinning violently, and whistling towards the sky!

The flight trajectory was extremely bizarre!

At first, the ball flew straight towards the corner flag on the right side of the Arsenal goal!

It looked completely off-target, just a long clearance, and a crooked one at that.

"Is this shot... gone?"

Many people had this thought pop into their minds.

However!

Just as the ball reached its highest point, the terrifying power endowed by "Carloss Shooting Power" and the violent rotation applied by "Beckhams Curve" created a wonderful chemical reaction!

In the air, the ball seemed to be twisted hard by an invisible pair of giant hands, carving out a huge, exaggerated, and irrational "Banana Kick" arc, making a sharp turn in mid-air, like a precision-guided missile, changing direction and plummeting directly into the top right corner of the goal!

"What?!"

Goalkeeper Čech had originally relaxed his vigilance.

In his knowledge and professional experience, a ball at this distance and with this initial direction would fly out of the end line, posing absolutely no threat.

He was even preparing to walk back to the goal line to wait for a goal kick.

But when the ball suddenly curved and dipped in a way that defied the laws of physics, Čech's pupils constricted, he inwardly shouted "Oh no!", and his hair stood on end!

But, it was too late!

He dove to the side with all his might, his body fully extended, his fingertips already touching the air...

"Bang—Clang! Swish!!!"

A series of sounds that were crisp to the extreme!

The ball, as if precisely calculated, slammed heavily into the inside of the post, just a few centimeters below the junction of the right post and the crossbar!

Then, under the huge kinetic energy and rotation, it bounced into the goal!

3:2!!!

In the final moment of first-half stoppage time, Leicester City took the lead thanks to a shocking, history-making super world-class goal from Yu Bai!!!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

"A fairy from the sky! A goal of the century! What did I just see?!"

The entire King Power Stadium completely exploded!

The sound was enough to blow the roof off!

All the Leicester City fans were in a state of absolute frenzy!

After scoring, Yu Bai's mind went blank, leaving only the most primitive excitement.

He sprinted wildly to the sidelines, spread his arms, and left a long, passionate sliding trail on the turf, charging straight towards his own bench!

The substitute players and coaching staff had already gone crazy!

Everyone swarmed towards him like a tide, pinning him underneath and piling on top of him!

The players on the pitch also rushed over with red eyes, joining in this crazy celebration!

This was a goal worthy of competing for the best of the season, or even one of the best in Premier League history!

The Arsenal players stood collectively stunned, like statues.

Per Mertesacker opened his mouth, looking at the ball in the goal, then at Yu Bai being submerged by his teammates, his face full of the absurdity and despair of "How the hell did that happen?"

On the sidelines, Professor Wenger slowly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with somewhat stiff movements, and put them back on.

He couldn't quite believe it...

Was this a monster sent by the heavens to destroy Arsenal?
