Chapter 995:

The Westwind Stadium had undergone two or three expansions and had reached its limit as a massive arena that could accommodate twenty thousand spectators. Expanding it any further had become difficult, given the architectural capabilities of the era; this size was already considered the pinnacle of what is possible. To ensure the structures stability, construction workers had even resorted to using earth-based magic for reinforcement.

At that moment, a high-stakes soccer match was about to commence in this enormous stadium.

The match featured the Chengguang familys team, Chengguang Whirlwinds, squaring off against the Corton familys team, Corton Lions. These two teams had the longest histories in the Westwind Super League, having garnered the most trophies and glory. They were star-studded and beloved by all spectators.

By then, players from both teams had already been preparing to take the field. Given that the soccer game allowed various offensive and defensive techniques, the level of physicality was extremely high. The players were permitted to wear basic protective gear, which had to be soft to prevent them from injuring others while trying to get creative with their gear.

A few teammates walked over and patted Kante on the shoulder, chuckling, Young Master Kante, do you regret retiring from the military to play soccer?

Kante laughed heartily, Whats there to regret? Ever since we defeated the Black Dragon, the Kingdom of Grans military has had no battles to fight. Staying there would mean endless days of repetitive training and patrolling. Id rather retire and enjoy a more vibrant life playing soccer.

Ha-ha, makes sense.

In fact, most of these teammates had also retired from the military or adventuring, so their experiences were quite similar.

One teammate quipped, On that note, the newcomer on the opposing team isnt like us old-timers. He didnt retire from the military or adventuring. Hes someone whos learned soccer from scratch.

Upon hearing this, everyones faces turned serious. The opposing team had a forward who was a new-generation player, meaning his initial skill training had been solely focused on soccer. He had never learned anything else, only how to play soccer. These new-generation players were specially trained talent and not to be underestimated.

Kante snorted, Dont worry. Ill mark this new generation player, one-on-one, and shadow him. I dont believe that I, a disciple directly taught by the Godfather, will lose to a kid.

Considering the new generation players were mostly young, no older than sixteen or seventeen, referring to them as kids wasnt inappropriate.

The teammates laughed, Alright, then well leave that new-generation player to you.

Thus, everyone got ready, looking forward to the upcoming match.

Although Kante was a wealthy second-generation individual, he was down-to-earth, unlike typical rich kids. But if people resented him for it, he had no choice but to accept it; the poor generally disliked the rich, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He quietly responded, New generation, dont underestimate us old soldiers! We may not match you in tactics or professionalism, but we have willpower forged on battlefields and an unyielding spirit. If you dont understand that, you still have a lot to learn.

What kind of willpower can a rich second-generation have? The young player sneered, On the battlefield, you probably just hid behind others, tagged along with some motley crew, and then inexplicably came back after the war was over, right?

Kante was speechless.

The referee loudly called from the side, No private conversations, separate!

Kante had wanted to defend himself a bit more, but now he couldnt. He had to obey the referee; otherwise, getting a red card would mean he was done for.

Kickoff!

With the sound of the referees whistle, the game had started. The position of the new generation kid was forward. As soon as the game began, he had used incredibly agile movements to get the ball and then charged, heading straight for the Chengguang Whirlwinds goal.

However, Kante had immediately appeared in front of him!

Kantes position was as a free player in the backfield. His sole responsibility was to tightly mark the new generation player.

The new generation kid laughed loudly, Come on, do you think you can hold me back?
