"Thank you."
After catching the ball, Cao Baming casually kicked the deflated ball out of bounds.
Then, he prepared again. Fortunately, his sharp gaze was directed at the goal. If it were a person, they would have been instantly killed by such a blade-like look.
The second goal.
A chilling aura rose again. With a foot cut, the ball flew towards the goal once more.
This time, the shaking was even more pronounced than before.
However, only Cao Baming noticed this. Others at this moment, with their mortal eyes, could not detect such a slight, minuscule change.
Cao Baming's lips curved into a slight smile. Seeing this, he knew that he had succeeded!
The subsequent three goals, three opportunities, all hit the mark, gradually, bit by bit, destroying the goal's last resistance!
And as the accumulation grew, gradually, his teammates also began to notice something was amiss. The goal was shaking much more violently now with each kick than before!
Henry was starting to get nervous. Sweat beads finally appeared on his forehead, even though the outside temperature was below ten degrees Celsius and a strong wind was blowing!
With this fifth kick, as the football flew towards the wobbling goal, everyone was already silently anticipating and feeling anxious.
Indeed, each subsequent shot could be the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely toppling the goal in one fell swoop!
However, this time as the football flew towards the goal, it suddenly let out a deafening roar upon impact with the crossbar, much louder than any previous strike.
And at the same time, the football, right before everyone's eyes, exploded!
The football, it actually exploded!!
Henry, while shocked, wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he didn't, it would have genuinely started to trickle down.
Even though he hadn't toppled the goal, he had managed to blow up the ball!!
He had played football for decades, and this was the first time he had seen a ball explode from a single kick.
One had to consider that the club's footballs were much higher quality than the average ones bought off the street. How could they possibly explode under normal circumstances?
This perfectly proved the immense power of Cao Baming. He had, after all, underestimated him!
Henry felt a pang of regret. He recalled his top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, with the plush toy his wife had given him inside. He wondered if it would now be given to someone else!
That was... bought for tens of millions of euros!!
He regretted it. He truly began to regret it. How could he have been so foolish as to make such a bet with Cao Baming?
But, at this moment, it was too late. Utterly too late.
Seeing the football explode near the crossbar, Cao Baming showed no surprise, as if he had expected this outcome all along.
Then, without even a moment to rest, he kicked the sixth ball.
The goal hadn't stopped shaking and was successfully hit again by this sixth ball, shaking even more violently!
Cao Baming felt that it was about to give way, much more fragile than he had anticipated!
The seventh kick, Cao Baming unleashed a powerful shot directly without preparation!
As this ball flew towards the goal, the goal already looked precarious. Everyone's eyes were wide open, fixed on the goal!
With a bang!
The moment this ball connected with the crossbar, a shocking scene unfolded!
The goal could no longer withstand the impact and, under the immense force, toppled backward. The base even uprooted a patch of soil and grass!
It looked just like a massive tree being uprooted!
It was too astonishing. The players' mouths hung open. They had witnessed Cao Baming's magic, his incredible feats, but this scene today was beyond anything they had seen before.
A few seconds later, the stunned silence broke as cheers and shouts erupted.
They were as excited as if they had just scored a goal in a match. Witnessing such a moment firsthand was truly dreamlike.
Henry, on the other hand, felt like crying but couldn't. Not only had he been proven wrong, but his beloved car was lost!
At this moment, he was not ready to accept this reality.
"I won!"
Cao Baming walked towards Henry with a triumphant smile.
"Killing the heart with a single blow." Henry lowered his head in defeat. He had nothing more to say.
Ten opportunities? He didn't even need ten!
He had completed the task in just seven, toppling a goal. It was as easy as pie!
Although there was no system reward this time, winning a Rolls-Royce was definitely worth it!
The goal lay quietly on the field in the wind, the ground beneath it churned up.
At this hour, there were no extra staff on the field. The coaches and upper management had long since left. It was mealtime.
Perhaps, when the coach returned to the field later or the next day, the goal would still be lying there.
It made one curious about what expression would be on his face!
Henry was also helpless. He shook his head in resignation and then pulled a key from his pocket, tossing it to Cao Baming.
He caught it with ease. Cao Baming glanced at it. The car remote featured a shining Rolls-Royce emblem, two beautiful 'R's, simply breathtaking!
"Thanks, brother!"
The others also joined in the boisterous teasing.
"Go try out your new car!"
"Hurry, can you take me for a ride?"
Henry could only sigh in resignation.
Cao Baming didn't pay much attention to the teasing. He glanced at the sky; it was getting late.
It was time to eat, so why go hungry?
As everyone gradually dispersed, only Henry was left standing in the wind, bewildered. Under duress, he had no choice but to call his private driver, otherwise, he might not even be able to get home.
The next morning, the field shimmered brightly again under the sunlight.
Arteta arrived at the field, and his gaze was naturally drawn to the strange sight in the distance.
"Is that, is that... the goal? Lying on the ground??"
Just then, a group of people rushed past him, faces beaming with smiles.
"Hahaha, finally saw the coach's expression!"
Cao Baming smiled without saying a word.
"What... what happened?" Arteta looked utterly bewildered.
At the same time, he urgently called for staff to deal with it.
The others remained silent, but they all looked towards Cao Baming.
"After training last night, we had a shooting competition, and the goal was kicked down," Henry explained.
Arteta, as the coach of this field, knew very well how sturdy that goal was.
Without needing to ask further, he guessed that only one person could have done something like this.
