125: Brothers, we can't hold on any longer, come on up!

Messi had bitterness he couldn't voice.

These idiots were the ones who had been eating duck all along; they didn't even see how the Dragon Country man shot a goal in a single second just now.

Messi felt a surge of frustration and, ignoring the rules, kicked the ball toward Lin Pei.

As expected, Lin Pei kicked it back, resulting in another direct goal.

!!!

The eyes of the European Team members widened, and their duck meat fell to the ground in shock.

Messi's face looked a bit aggrieved.

Had these people finally realized how powerful the opponent was?

His skill level hadn't declined at all!

To his surprise, the others just picked up their duck meat and continued gnawing on it.

"How could his level decline so severely? Even his attitude toward the match isn't right anymore."

"Yeah, he shot the ball, but you ran so far away—how could you possibly catch it?"

"Sigh, you and our Goalkeeper both ran so far away; of course he'd just shoot and score..."

"..."

Messi was completely speechless and requested a substitution so someone else could play against Lin Pei.

Ronaldo put down his food and took a sip of tea.

"I'll do it."

Many in the world felt that Ronaldo was inferior to Messi. Today, he would let everyone know that his professional level and quality were not inferior to Messi's—in fact, they might even be better.

The livestream boiled over again; Ronaldo indeed had many fans, and even a few celebrities were drawn out.

Lu Han: "Oh, Ronaldo is on the field! This is going to be intense!"

Li Xian: "Ronaldo, good luck."

Lang Lang: "I'll have to play a piece for this, no matter what."

Netizens began to praise one while belittling the other.

"Looking at it this way, Messi has regressed a lot recently. It feels like Ronaldo's technique is more stable."

"That's because Ronaldo works hard. That's why he has even more fans than Messi."

"Ah... in that case, won't Brother Lin be in danger?"

"Ronaldo has met his match this time. It might be hard for these two to determine a winner; they might even need overtime."

Just as the netizens finished their analysis, a 'whoosh' was heard on the field—Lin Pei had scored yet again.

Everyone was stunned.

My god, what happened to the overtime? Did Ronaldo fail to last even a second?

The celebrities in the livestream chat immediately vanished.

Ronaldo was in a state of confusion.

He hadn't even had time to swallow the tea leaves in his mouth before the opponent scored?

Is this Dragon Country man even human?

Is he really from the same batch of Dragon Country players who trained with them earlier?

It feels like they aren't even the same species!

After another round, Ronaldo felt something was very wrong and wailed toward the European Team members on the sidelines.

"Guys, I can't hold on!"

"Come here quickly! This guy is way too fast; I can't block this ball."

Didn't this Dragon Country man say they could all go at once?

He even turned to confirm with Lin Pei.

"Big Brother from Dragon Country, is it okay if I get some people to help me?"

Lin Pei immediately agreed.

"Of course."

Taking them on one by one was indeed a hassle.

Most importantly, he was quite concerned about the Goalkeeper's mental state.

That burly man looked like he had run out of tears.

Upon hearing Lin Pei's words, Neymar hopped over to join Ronaldo in facing Lin Pei.

A minute later, Neymar was also dazed and shouted toward the crowd.

"Brothers, we can't hold on! Someone else come!"

Thus, a moment later, the area where they had been gnawing on duck was completely empty; even Messi had no choice but to return to the field to make up the numbers.

The European Team's side of the field was now a sea of people.

The audience and netizens were also dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, did Brother Lin just force the entire European Team onto the field?"

"I didn't even have such a strong reaction when Brother Lin took on the entire Japanese Team alone. This is just too shocking, isn't it?"

"Simply miraculous! Now I truly believe he knows the Mighty Vajra Foot."

"Any one of these stars on the stage is incredible on their own, yet Brother Lin has made them look like ordinary lackeys."

"With so many people, will they be able to block Brother Lin's ball? After all, even Messi is back on the field. The strongest members of Europe are all in the game now."

"Maybe..."

However, they couldn't discuss this topic for long because Lin Pei had already scored in another second.

The increase in the number of opponents didn't affect his shooting speed in the slightest.

The audience was as shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Damn, I want to know exactly what kind of person it would take to slow down Brother Lin's shooting speed even a little bit."

"From the looks of it, such a person doesn't exist in this world."

"Exactly. My Brother Lin is number one in the world of football, and I won't hear otherwise."

The celebrities who had just vanished now all switched sides.

Lu Han: "Wow, Brother Lin is too amazing! Please accept my bow."

Li Xian: "I thought Ronaldo was already a powerful existence, but it seems even multiple Ronaldos couldn't block Brother Lin's shots. As for football stars, I've decided to only be a fan of Brother Lin from now on."

Lang Lang: "Wait for me to play a rendition of 'Rise of a Great Power.' Our Dragon Country has finally stood up!"

...At this moment, the European Team members on the field sighed in unison and dropped their various stances.

The opponent's shooting speed was too fast, so their blocking movements looked like they were dancing or grabbing at thin air, which was honestly quite embarrassing.

Ronaldo was the first to leave the field in frustration.

"No more! There's simply no competing."

"I didn't expect Dragon Country to not only have such delicious duck but also such powerful Dragon Country Kung Fu!"

"Everyone, I'll take my leave first to sign up for classes at the Martial Arts Hall downstairs. I'll come back to challenge this big boss again once I've mastered it."

The others followed Ronaldo, raising their hands one after another.

"We're going too."

"For European football to still have a place in the international arena in the future, we must learn this Dragon Country Kung Fu!"

Then, with a 'whoosh,' they all left the field and followed Ronaldo out the door.

The netizens in the overseas livestream didn't react for a long time.

"What does this mean? So many of our European Team members went in together and still couldn't catch this Dragon Country man's ball?"

"Yes, and his speed didn't slow down at all. This Dragon Country man is terrifying!"

"This time I really believe it. Dragon Country Kung Fu is actually this powerful!"

"Forget about these players; even I want to go to Dragon Country to sign up for a Martial Arts Hall and learn Dragon Country Kung Fu now!"

"..."

On the field, the Japanese Team Members, who had arrived at some unknown point, had eyes filled with tears.

At this moment, they were finally vindicated.

Back then, even when they—young, old, women, and children—all took the field, they couldn't catch Lin Pei's ball. It wasn't because they were bad; it was because the opponent was too strong.

baka! Those unscrupulous news media outlets actually used that to make a fuss, saying their level had fallen to the bottom of the world.

Simply outrageous!

Hopefully, after this incident, those media outlets will realize their mistakes and report on this matter objectively and fairly!

...Meanwhile, at the Dragon Country Sports Bureau office.

Assistant Song was reporting this news to Gong Dan with an excited face.

Gong Dan waved his hand.

"Assistant Song, I've said it before: only tell me if there's 'major' news."

"If we just lost, there's no need to mention it. I already expected that."

Assistant Song's eyes were shining brightly.

"Director, this time there really is 'major' news."
