Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Deathly Heavy Cannon (Eighth update, Clan Leader Ao Ao Ao Ao’s additional update is in place)
This choice was beyond everyone’s expectations.
It included the Ajax defensive midfielder who was also prepped to rush up and defend against Deng Kai.
Bang!
The Ajax defensive midfielder subconsciously turned to avoid, but his body was still struck by the football.
He fell to the ground instantly.
The football bounced toward Deng Kai.
To Deng Kai’s surprise, as he looked at the football flying to his feet, the Black Panther Hunt had refreshed!
The time that was about to run out now became three seconds.
Moreover, the effect of Black Panther Hunt had doubled!
This is... stacking!
The effects of Black Panther Hunt could also stack!
The first time Black Panther Hunt was activated was because of Sneijder’s tackle, causing Deng Kai to temporarily lose possession of the ball, then regained possession, triggering the effect.
This time it must have been because the opposition blocked the shot, causing a change in possession.
Furthermore, the stacking of Black Panther Hunt effects was direct, with the boost to the shots doubling immediately. This was different from the Fried Meatballs debuff which stacked at fifty percent on top of the last instance.
No matter how many times the latter was stacked, the effect could only ever get infinitely close to two hundred percent.
But with Black Panther Hunt, the first stack was already at two hundred percent.
The second was three hundred, and the third was four hundred, frighteningly straightforward.
Bang!
What was there for Deng Kai to hesitate about?
Once again, he made a long shot after a touch.
This time the ball moved even faster.
Above the penalty area line, the Ajax center-back stretched out his leg to block.
The huge impact made him flip sideways, and after falling to the ground, he clutched at his thigh in great pain.
The football was blocked back once again, falling from the sky.
Deng Kai realized something.
He ran towards the football, and in the moment he controlled it, the special effect of Black Panther Hunt refreshed for the third time.
At this moment, the shooting enhancements he had included "Fried Meatballs, half a Fried Meatballs, Mediocre Winger Schweinsteiger, Black Panther Hunt*3"!
Unfortunately, the two enhancements from Fried Meatballs were about to disappear, with their time almost up.
Bang!
Deng Kai executed a Fried Meatballs move, adjusting his position and also seeking out a shooting lane.
This action led the players who thought he would take a volley shot without trapping the ball to misjudge, and the Ajax defenders lifted their feet early to block.
In an instant, the effects related to Fried Meatballs refreshed and stacked. He had three weakening Fried Meatballs, three Black Panther Hunts, and one Mediocre Winger hanging on him.
Deng Kai finally understood the refresh mechanism.
The continuous activation of Fried Meatballs could refresh the time for speed or dribbling buffs.
But it could not refresh the time for shooting buffs.
As a shooting skill, continuous activation of Black Panther Hunt could refresh the time for shooting buffs, but not for speed buffs.
Moreover, in theory, it is very difficult to trigger Black Panther Hunt consecutively.
Situations like today, where Deng Kai’s shots were blocked and shot again, were a rare chance, quite different from skills like Fried Meatballs which could be controlled at will.
Normally, Deng Kai could play a hundred matches and still would find it hard to refresh Black Panther Hunt three times!
But today, he had done just that.
In such a situation, there was truly nothing else in Deng Kai’s eyes but the goal.
That included Wu Xudong, who was wide open on the right side of the penalty area, and Ronaldo, who had pulled back to the outside of the penalty area with space to shoot.
Bang!
The moment the football made contact with Deng Kai’s right foot, there was an obvious deformation, it even got flattened.
Whoosh!
The piercing howl went straight for the goal.
The Ajax players, who had already made defensive moves, could only watch the football... No, they could not watch it, because they simply couldn’t see clearly!
Inside the penalty area, Lorenzo who had been ready to head the ball to assist with the attack felt regretful at first that his position wasn’t quite right, and that his touching the ball might result in it being saved by the opponent.
But after the football flew out, he thought it was a good thing he hadn’t touched it.
Otherwise, would his head have exploded?
It was too fast!
The force was too strong!
Only after the football nestled into the net did the players around the flight path feel a gust of wind.
Everyone was shocked as they looked towards the inside of the goal.
The football lifted the net, creating wave after wave of white ripples.
"GOAL! A worldie! A supreme worldie!"
"Are Deng Kai’s thighs made of gold? How could he launch such a powerful and forceful shot?"
"A last-minute score! This is a decisive goal!"
"So domineering! With three consecutive high-intensity long-range shots, Deng Kai’s right leg seems even tougher than steel. How does he do it?"
"Ajax blocked Deng Kai twice, but his long shots grew fiercer with each attempt!"
"Four to three! Lisbon Athletic has overtaken the score in the final minute of regular time!"
"How thrilling! This Lisbon Athletic team is so resilient! They laid low for a full seventy minutes, then chased the score with the remaining time! Just for this courage alone, they are not an ordinary team."
"Oh, there are still three Ajax players lying on the ground."
"Ajax’s defensive midfielder and center-back both blocked Deng Kai’s shot head-on. The former is getting up with difficulty, clutching the outside of his thigh and sucking in the cold air."
"The latter is holding his right knee, checking to see if there’s any damage to his leg – a testament to the power of Deng Kai’s heavy cannon."
"No problem, the Ajax center-back got up."
"But why hasn’t the Ajax goalkeeper gotten up yet? The match is not over; they still have three to five minutes of added time to catch up. They..."
"Oh! The Ajax goalkeeper has grabbed his wrist, his expression extremely pained. He’s signaling for his teammates to call the medic."
"What happened exactly? Could his hand be injured? Let’s take a look at the big screen..."
Through replay, everyone found out that Ajax’s goalkeeper had actually gotten a hand on Deng Kai’s third long shot!
He touched the football with his left hand.
But he hardly changed its course.
Instead, his left hand was instantly flicked away as if it had never loved at all.
When the Ajax medic entered the field, they thought it wasn’t much, but as the examination went deeper, their expressions gradually grew more somber.
Finally, when they cut open the goalkeeper’s glove with scissors, they discovered... it was broken!
The Ajax goalkeeper cried out in pain.
His teammates were also stunned in place, their faces pale.
Lorenzo, who had tried to use his head to score, felt a chill on his scalp, thinking what if he had unnecessarily stuck his head out—what might have broken then?
A warm current surged up, and Lorenzo almost wet himself.
Not just Lorenzo, but all the players around the path of the football who felt they could have made a difference but didn’t, were relieved.
To put it indelicately, they were even thankful.
Even Deng Kai, the instigator, had not expected his heavy cannon to be so overpoweringly strong.
He immediately rushed to the Ajax stretcher to express his apologies to the goalkeeper, "Sorry, I... I didn’t mean it... I am really sorry..."
The camera locked onto the complex expression on Deng Kai’s face.
No one wanted something like this to happen.
Whenever a player had to leave the field due to injury, the player who caused the injury always carried a heavy psychological burden... except for those who intentionally hurt others.
Since Ajax had already used all their substitutes, they had to let a center-back take over as the goalkeeper and play with ten men against the opposition.
In the end, the score was solidified at four to three.
Lisbon Athletic U15 had an incredible comeback, overcoming Ajax U15 to move into the final of the Youth Champions League!
