Chapter 76: Game over! Flame Tiger Wins.
10 Minutes to go.
Everyone in the stadium was on the edge of their seats, watching the match with all seriousness.
The Flame Tiger were defending desperately, clearing all the balls that came near their area.
On the sideline, the Flame Tiger gang leader was shouting instructions to his men. His head was filled with perspiration.
This was the tensest moment of his life. He could hear his heart pounding heavily against his chest.
Previously, with two goals to nothing, he believed they had already won the match, but who would have expected a single goal would change the match?
The tension was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.
Even their fans’ cheers had somehow reduced.
As for the Dust Valley fans and disciples, they held their breath, their hearts pounding with anticipation, their eyes burning with hope.
They only needed a single goal to match the Flame Tiger.
Just a single goal.
Frequently, they would look at the giant clock and feel their hearts quickening. The time was too quick for their liking.
They wished they could stop the clock from ticking.
Pfrrrr!
"Foul!" The referee blew the whistle.
It was a free kick.
The kick was outside the box, and everyone watching the match held their breath as the referee arranged the Flame Tiger Team wall.
Standing behind the ball were Wang Jun and Yuan, whispering to each other. Then it was time to play the free kick.
Wang Jun stepped back three steps and kicked the ball. The ball sailed over the wall and headed toward the goalkeeper.
Everyone held their breath.
Their eyes followed the ball. The keeper dove toward the ball and stretched his right arm with all his might.
Bang!
His hand touched the ball and pushed it out.
"He saved it!"
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. How could he save such a goal? This was the best save so far in the game.
However, the match already continued as one of the Flame Tiger team received the parried ball.
The defender played the ball to Yuan. Receiving the ball, Yuan raised his head and saw Xun running in the distance.
Whoosh!
He kicked the ball toward him.
Watching the ball sail toward Xun, all the audience were stunned. The Dust Valley Team only had two players at the back.
Against Xun’s terrifying speed, they stood no chance.
Xun whistled past the two defenders as he chased the ball with all his might. Looking at Xun’s shirt flying with the wind, they almost passed from fright.
’We’re doomed,’ they thought.
Xun blazed forward, pushing the ball toward the nervous, streaking goalkeeper.
Quickly, he arrived at the edge of the box when he saw the goalkeeper rushing toward him, stretching both hands.
Impatiently, Xun kicked the ball low.
Everyone was on their feet. Even Mo Jian was on his feet.
Just as the ball wanted to zoom past the goalkeeper, his right foot touched the ball, directing it in the opposite direction.
"My..."
Everyone was exasperated.
"He saves it!"
"Xun missed the chance."
Instantly, the stadium erupted into cheers and amazement. The Dust Valley Team breathed a sigh of relief as they rushed to thank their goalkeeper for saving them.
As for the Flame Tiger Team, they wore a look of stupefaction. Xun stood frozen; he could not believe he missed such an obvious chance.
The Flame Tiger gang leader wanted to curse out loud but glared daggers at him. Swiftly, he recovered and began to shout instructions to his men.
With both teams missing two golden opportunities, everyone realized anything could still happen in the match.
The Dust Valley Team took domination of the possession, pushing the Flame Tiger Team to the edge of their box.
Raising their heads, they saw the time was less than five minutes.
They were not the only ones watching the time; everyone was frequently looking at the time.
The Dust Valley Team grew more nervous with the time ticking away and began to play outside shots, only for them to sail into the air.
Elder Kang watched his men trying desperately, and his heart grew in pain. He seemed to have aged a couple of decades.
Even a fool could see their men were giving their best, but the Flame Tiger Team was an impenetrable fortress.
Suddenly, a sharp cross came from the left wing and the ball sailed into box 6. Inside the box were Wang Jun, Ren, and Hao.
Behind them were five players of the Flame Tiger Team contesting with them. Each jumped into the air, trying to nod the ball.
The ball sailed over those in the front and went straight toward Hao.
Bang!
Hao’s head connected with the ball and it went straight toward the net.
’This is it! This is it!’
Some of the Dust Valley fans had already shouted a goal.
Just when everyone thought the ball was going into the net, the goalkeeper’s hand came out of nowhere and pushed the ball out.
"My goodness! He saves it again."
"What is happening!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. How could anyone save the ball from such a close distance?
Even the clan masters and influential people could not believe what was happening on the field. This was beyond their imagination.
"Is he using his cultivation?!" an elder asked in confusion.
"No. There is no energy fluctuation from him," another elder responded.
Everyone knew the keeper did not use his cultivation, but they could not think of any reasonable explanation.
"There are only two minutes left," another elder reminded everyone.
No one responded as they all focused their eyes on the game.
Among the audience, the Flame Tiger fans were already jubilating their win. How could the Dust Valley Team beat them when there were only two minutes left?
When it was a minute to go, one of the officials came forward and added an additional 3 minutes.
"Oh, there are three more minutes."
Most of the audience were stunned. They did not expect there would be additional time. While some were confused, thinking this was a way for the Dust Valley Team to score back.
They all kept quiet and watched the match.
Quickly, it was a minute left and everyone wore various emotions on their faces. Just then, a Flame Tiger player missed the ball and hit the Dust Valley player.
Ah!
He screamed and fell to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle, pointing to the penalty spot.
Everyone in the stadium was stupefied. What just happened?!
The stadium quieted down as they watched what was happening on the field. The Flame Tiger Team already knew what happened and wore a dreadful expression on their faces.
"T-That fucking... bastard. How could someone be inside the box?" the Flame Tiger gang leader gritted his teeth in anger.
There were only a few seconds before the match ended and the victory was right before their eyes. But now...
On the field, the Flame Tiger wore a panicked expression on their faces. The player that hit the Dust Valley Team player sat on the field with a horrified expression.
As for the Dust Valley Team, a bright smile crept up their faces. Finally, their hard work paid off.
Ren took the ball and went to the spot. His hand trembled and he took a deep breath.
Now, everyone in the stadium understood what was happening.
The Flame Tiger fans had an ugly expression on their faces while the Dust Valley fans were already jubilating.
Inside the Dust Valley Sect area, all the elders were on their feet, smiles lingering on their faces.
As long as Ren scored, their sect wouldn’t lose face.
Ren moved back from the spot, his eyes moved from the ball to the goalkeeper. The referee looked at both Ren and the goalkeeper before he blew the whistle.
Pfrrrr.
With a light jog, Ren closed the shot distance and hit the ball.
Whoosh!
The ball sailed to the right corner of the post, and when everyone thought it was going inside...
Bang!
It hit the upright bar and went out.
He missed!
Ren’s heart skipped a beat, collapsing onto the ground and fainted.
