Blue Lock, I, Kira Ryosuke, Obtain Thunder Breathing at the Start

Bachira Meguru's exceptional skills, which they had just displayed, were beyond their reach, and they had almost succeeded.

Kira Ryosuke managed to stop this shot at the last moment, further proving Kira Ryosuke's strength.

However, Bachira Meguru had also created a corner kick opportunity this time.

The match continued.

"For a corner kick, I should be the one to finish it stylishly, of course."

Ariko Juubei said, walking to the position to take the corner kick.

Just then, a cold voice sounded from beside Ariko Juubei:

"Get lost."

Ariko Juubei turned his head and saw Itoshi Rin standing behind him.

He keenly sensed that something had changed about Itoshi Rin; the other party seemed to have become a completely unfamiliar being.

At the same time, Itoshi Rin exuded a terrifying killing intent, making Ariko Juubei feel a trace of fear.

It was as if a terrifying monster stood before him.

Sweat beaded on Ariko Juubei's forehead, not from fatigue, but from the terrifying pressure emanating from Itoshi Rin. He had no choice but to move away from the corner kick spot and head towards the opponent's goal. His jumping ability and physical advantage allowed him to create opportunities more easily during corner kick tactics.

But all of this was based on Itoshi Rin's choice for this corner kick—and for him, there was no other option.

At this moment, Itoshi Rin's gaze was fixed on the goal, his eyes filled not only with hatred but also with a hint of madness.

He took two steps back, then suddenly accelerated, spreading his legs and focusing his power on his feet!

The ball shot out like an incredibly precise guided missile, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Its target was clear: the White Team's goal!

Corner kicks could indeed create scoring chances, but the difficulty was immense. The angle was almost zero degrees relative to the goal, making it very tricky to shoot. Therefore, ordinary players rarely aimed to score directly from a corner kick.

But for Itoshi Rin, there were no other choices.

Shoot, shoot, shoot! Shoot! Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot!

Kill everyone else! Whoever stands in my way must be killed!

No one can stop my progress! I will definitely get revenge on Itoshi Sae! These people are just stepping stones on my path to revenge!

Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all!

"Hey, are you really going to shoot from here? That's too much of a stretch!"

Kunigami Rensuke hadn't expected Itoshi Rin to do something so crazy.

"No, this shot is very dangerous!"

Niko Ikki clearly understood the terrifying nature of this shot.

Even from a zero-degree angle and with his weaker foot, the arc of Itoshi Rin's shot was still perfect. If it wasn't blocked, it would have entered the dead corner of the goal at a very tricky angle!

Furthermore, the power of this shot was terrifying, and its speed was incredibly fast!

Even though the White Team was temporarily leading, Niko Ikki absolutely could not let the opponent break through his goal.

He chased with all his might, trying to intercept the ball in its path—but the ball seemed to see through Niko Ikki's limits, its trajectory grazing past a position he couldn't reach!

Itoshi Rin had seen through Niko Ikki's limits!

"This is bad!"

But just as the ball was about to enter the net, a familiar figure appeared again!

Kira Ryosuke!

Although he didn't possess the spatial awareness of Niko Ikki or Itoshi Rin, he could still see the trajectory of the ball with Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder.

He leaped high, blocking this incredibly dangerous shot with his head, thwarting the corner kick attempt!

But the threat wasn't over.

The ball flew far out, landing right in front of Ariko Juubei.

"I have an opportunity."

Just as Ariko Juubei was about to dribble, a phantom-like figure suddenly flashed past him and snatched the soccer ball from under his feet.

When he saw who it was, his face showed disbelief.

The Red Team.

Itoshi Rin.

Itoshi Rin had calculated that his shot would be blocked by Kira Ryosuke and had predicted where the ball might land, rushing over at full speed and mercilessly taking the ball from Ariko Juubei's feet.

Even though the ball was stolen, Ariko Juubei remained silent.

"Stealing from a teammate? Has he completely lost it?"

Nagi Seishiro was a little surprised. Itoshi Rin at this moment seemed to have completely lost his reason.

Itoshi Rin's tongue was sticking out of his mouth, and even drool dripped from the corner of his lips. There was no trace of rationality left in him.

Mutilate, mutilate, mutilate!

Destroy everything, destroy everything!

Especially you, Kira Ryosuke!

Itoshi Rin, with the ball, charged directly at Kira Ryosuke.

'I'm going to kill you head-on! Kira Ryosuke!'

'What are your weapons? Skill, speed, power!'

'I'll devour you completely using the same methods!'

Itoshi Rin's eyes were filled with madness, like a zombie discovering prey, saliva constantly dripping.

This was his FLOW, to draw out the potential of others, and then destroy them completely with the same means!

Previously, his puppet tactics were a product of his ability to grasp and control the entire game, an effort to imitate his older brother, Itoshi Sae.

But now, this was Itoshi Rin's true nature!

Football so crazy it was almost ugly! Aiming to destroy everything.

Arrogant to the extreme, crazy to the extreme!

But at the same time, he also pushed his abilities to their absolute limit.

In the original story, Itoshi Rin only entered his FLOW state at the very last moment of the final battle against the U20 national team, and at that final instant, he successfully stole the ball from Itoshi Sae.

But because of Kira Ryosuke's appearance, Itoshi Rin's 'awakening' was brought forward.

The pressure Kira Ryosuke gave him was just like Itoshi Sae's in the past; he had never felt this way after playing against the latter.

And Bachira Meguru's performance just now had further amplified the already twisted emotions in his heart.

He yearned to win against everyone, to crush all existence.

Both Itoshi Sae and Kira Ryosuke had to be eliminated!

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Itoshi Rin shouted, his voice muffled because his tongue was sticking out.

"Try to mind your personal image a little. It seems I wasn't wrong when I said you needed to go back to elementary school and start over."

Kira Ryosuke blocked Itoshi Rin's path. More than anyone else, he understood Itoshi Rin's current state.

The most insane, and also the most powerful.

It could be said that this direct confrontation with Itoshi Rin would completely end the suspense of this match.

A true 1v1 that would decide the flow of the game!

Almost everyone else felt a sense of suffocation, knowing clearly that they could not participate in the duel between these two monsters.

They were beings on a different dimension.

'Skill, speed, power, I will surpass you in everything!'

'I'll crush you, kill, kill, kill!'

'If I do this, nothing and no one will be able to restrain me!'

Itoshi Rin didn't slow down at all, charging straight at Kira Ryosuke—but when the distance between them was less than a meter, Itoshi Rin suddenly stopped.

Such an abrupt stop, just like what Kira Ryosuke had done before.

Mikage Reo's ability was imitation, but Itoshi Rin was completely different.

He drew out his opponent's abilities and then surpassed them!

He used an extremely fast step-over to test Kira Ryosuke's balance, and Kira Ryosuke didn't fall for it. Instead, he took a step forward, actively applying pressure.

But Itoshi Rin was not affected. He immediately changed his rhythm, pulling the ball back with his left foot, then stomping down with his heel and suddenly lifting it, making the ball jump into the air and fly over Kira Ryosuke's head. At the same time, he accelerated sharply, preparing to rush past Kira Ryosuke's side and complete the dribble.

"Excellent move and rhythm!"

Bachira Meguru couldn't help but praise.

Kira Ryosuke naturally wouldn't give Itoshi Rin any chance to receive the ball. He immediately turned around, preparing to block Itoshi Rin's path and touch the ball first.

But Itoshi Rin also knew his opponent's likely actions. He placed one hand between Kira Ryosuke and himself, trying to disrupt Kira Ryosuke's positioning with his hand movements.

The two were almost entangled, and whoever touched the ball first would gain the advantage!

"Is Rin faster!"

Kunigami Rensuke shouted. As an attacker, Itoshi Rin was facing the goal, so he could accelerate directly. Coupled with his hand movements, he seemed to gain a slight advantage in position, appearing to be able to touch the ball first!

Whether it was technique, speed, power, or body control, Itoshi Rin had reached his peak! He was unmatched in the entire Blue Lock!

But—

The current Kira Ryosuke was the peak!

Total Concentration Breathing!

Thunderclap and Flash!

In an instant, Kira Ryosuke's body erupted with terrifying power, like a volcano spewing magma. Although Itoshi Rin's arm had already secured a position, Kira Ryosuke's superior speed and strength allowed him to break free from the hold, even disrupting Itoshi Rin's balance.

"What?!"

"I told you, the one who wins in the end will be me. Stop right here! With that kind of arrogant attitude, you can never beat me!"

Kira Ryosuke had completely gotten in front of Itoshi Rin, touching the ball first!

"Truly... dazzlingly brilliant... the height of style, I am ashamed to be inferior!"

Ariko Juubei could only stand frozen in place, sighing in admiration at that moment.

He clearly understood the power, speed, and skill that Itoshi Rin had displayed in those few short seconds were already an insurmountable peak for him. That guy was a true monster.

And yet, this monster had still lost!

Lost to Kira Ryosuke!

Was Kira Ryosuke something beyond a monster?!

"Take back your words, you rabble and ants, and apologize obediently!"

The moment Kira Ryosuke touched the ball, he completely controlled it beneath him. He then turned simultaneously, skillfully using his back to shove Itoshi Rin away, and sent a powerful pass!

As the Red Team members clearly saw the trajectory of the soccer ball, they realized that Niko Ikki and the others were already rushing towards the other half of the field at top speed!

Score another goal!

Chapter 73: End the Match, Go Back to the Forge!

Soon, the final whistle of the match blew, and the members of the Red Team lay on the ground, panting.

It was another 5:0 victory. It seemed Kira Ryosuke's White Team had won with an absolute advantage.

However, anyone who had watched the match knew that the intensity and tension of this game had surpassed all previous ones.

"I lost, and I accept it wholeheartedly. That was an unreachable brilliance."
