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

After Cavazos completed the steal, he immediately sent a long pass to the frontcourt. England's top scorer, Black, had already been waiting there for a long time.

"There's no way I'm letting you get the ball!"

Kunigami Rensuke shouted loudly, trying to contest the ball with Black.

But the moment the two made contact, Kunigami Rensuke felt like he had collided with a city wall.

This physical prowess and control over his center of gravity were beyond even what Tokimitsu Aoshi could match.

Black stood unmoving!

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

Kunigami Rensuke used all his strength but couldn't move the opponent even a centimeter.

"I'm not interested in men's bodies."

Black said with a relaxed expression, then turned around, using his broad shoulders to forcefully pin the strong Kunigami Rensuke behind him while powerfully kicking the ball.

His target was Heavy Tank Dada, who had already positioned himself in front of the goal. Silva!

The burly Silva stood like a giant mountain in front of the goal. No matter how hard Nagi Seishiro tried, he couldn't block his position.

His physical condition was even more terrifying than Black's!

"Too skinny, too skinny! Have you guys been eating properly?! You're like bean sprouts, easily crushed!"

Silva roared with laughter. The advantage he had allowed him to easily receive Black's pass. While using his arm to hold off Nagi Seishiro, he turned. Even the physically capable Nagi Seishiro posed no threat in his eyes, like dust floating in the air, scattered by a single blow.

"We've taken the lead!"

A smug expression appeared on Silva's face as he prepared to shoot after turning.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Silva.

"Is that so?"

Kira Ryosuke had already covered him!

The moment Silva turned, Kira Ryosuke closed in, not intending to give him any space to turn.

"You arrogant brat!"

Silva didn't take Kira Ryosuke seriously at all, intending to use his physical strength to shove him aside.

But the moment the two made contact, Silva's expression changed.

At that moment, he felt as if he had collided with a giant boulder.

"What?!"

For the first time, surprise appeared on Silva's face.

He hadn't expected to not have the advantage in physical contact. Furthermore, due to underestimating the impact of the collision, his balance was broken, and he fell to the ground.

An opening!

Kira Ryosuke seized the moment when the opponent's center of gravity shifted and completed the steal!

"What?!"

Black and Cavazos exclaimed in unison. They never expected Silva to be stolen from by Kira Ryosuke.

Even without being fully serious, this situation shouldn't have happened.

"Damn it, the ground is too slippery!"

Silva complained, finding an excuse. He couldn't believe he was at a disadvantage in a physical collision.

It must have been because the ground was too slippery.

"What other excuses are you going to make, little bean sprout?"

At that moment, Kira Ryosuke looked down at Silva, who was lying on the ground, his gaze sharp and cold, like a blade. He slowly spoke.

He was speaking in English.

Chapter 75: Today, I will climb to the pinnacle of the world!

"You... you can understand me?"

Silva stared intently at Kira Ryosuke, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, I can understand."

Kira Ryosuke smiled at him and replied in a calm tone. He stepped on the ball, not in a hurry to attack.

"Despite being called a Heavy Tank, you're much skinnier than I imagined. Aren't you hurt, bean sprout? Should I help you up?"

"You! Don't get carried away. It's just that the ground is too slippery!"

Silva was furious. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. He finally got up from the ground.

"Then try your best to catch up to me."

Kira Ryosuke said lightly before starting to move towards the opponent's half.

The counter-attack begins!

"Silva actually lost to someone physically? How is that possible?"

Cavazos said in disbelief.

"That's impossible, he must have just slipped."

Black said, his expression gradually turning serious.

"This guy is truly arrogant. Let's teach him a little lesson and show him the real difference."

At this moment, Kira Ryosuke had already passed midfield, and Black actively moved forward to mark him.

His expression was very serious, completely different from his previous nonchalant demeanor.

"Those guys are angry..."

Niko Ikki swallowed, he could feel that the other side had gotten serious.

Just now, Loki had effortlessly broken through their defense by himself, and this team had four other players on his level. If they all got serious, what a terrifying situation that would be.

Just as Niko Ikki was feeling flustered, a hand landed on his shoulder.

Bachira Meguru.

"Kira has fearlessly stepped into the world's top tier. We can't hold him back!"

Bachira Meguru said to Niko Ikki with a smile.

"Yeah."

Niko Ikki nodded, and followed his other teammates behind Kira Ryosuke, charging into the opponent's half.

At this moment, Kira Ryosuke had reached Black, who actively moved closer, his gaze becoming incredibly focused, completely different from his previous scattered demeanor.

"Kid, let me show you the real difference."

Black said slowly. His tactic was very clear: he wanted to make physical contact with Kira Ryosuke.

Just now, Silva had lost his balance and fallen. Although Black believed Silva couldn't have been outmatched by Kira Ryosuke in terms of strength, he still wanted to verify it himself.

Furthermore, Kira Ryosuke had retorted to Silva verbally just now. Black couldn't accept such a guy pushing his team around. As an international superstar, he had to reclaim their honor.

He would teach this kid a good lesson!

"Hey Black, there's no need for this."

Cavazos shouted, but Black completely ignored him.

At this moment, Black had gotten close to Kira Ryosuke. This defensive style was full of pressure. His exquisite skills and outstanding physical abilities could easily cause the attacker to make a mistake.

It could be said that within Blue Lock, almost no one could get past Black in a one-on-one situation.

This was the absolute difference in physical ability.

Normally, facing such close marking, anyone would prioritize slowing down immediately and then looking for another opportunity to break through.

But at this moment, Kira Ryosuke showed no signs of slowing down. Without any evasion, he made direct physical contact with Black.

"He's not slowing down. Is he trying to prevent Silva from double-teaming him from behind?!"

Cavazos exclaimed, while Luna frowned beside him:

"No, this kid isn't worried about Silva. He's simply accepting Black's challenge. He wants to get past Black in a one-on-one head-on!"

As a fellow world-class player, Luna knew Black's individual defensive capabilities very well. For these sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids, he was an insurmountable mountain.

But at this very moment, Kira Ryosuke was fearlessly engaging in a close-quarters struggle with Black.

Black leaned forward and quickly extended his foot, like a sharp spear, directly at the soccer ball at Kira Ryosuke's feet—but Kira Ryosuke reacted swiftly, immediately pulling the ball back with his right foot, controlling it beneath him.

"Good judgment."

Black praised subconsciously. Even players who had competed on the international stage might falter under his top-tier pressure, yet Kira Ryosuke appeared very calm, showing no panic, and his rhythm was perfectly controlled.

With just one move, Black realized that Kira Ryosuke was definitely not an ordinary opponent, not the common player they had expected.

"In that case, let me turn up the intensity!"

An excited smile appeared on Black's face. He made his position even more aggressive, leaning forward, intending to use his shoulder and arm to disrupt the opponent's balance.

The moment his shoulder touched Kira Ryosuke, it felt like hitting a wall of bronze.

Perhaps not comparable to a monster like Silva, but Black's physical abilities could also be described as explosive.

Yet, even so, he gained no advantage from Kira Ryosuke.

"What's going on with this guy?!"

Black was very surprised. The moment they made physical contact, he realized that Silva had definitely not fallen because the ground was too slippery.

This kid's physical ability had truly reached a terrifying level!

"Looks like you're not that great either, old man. Has your lack of self-control made you weak?"

Kira Ryosuke still looked very relaxed as he looked at Black beside him.

"You brat!"

Black was clearly enraged, anger surging within him.

Originally, they had only signed a contract with Ego Jinpachi to scout the players in Blue Lock. For a top player like Black, such a task was practically free money; he just needed to go through the motions.

However, Black hadn't expected that a match that should have been a foregone conclusion would force him to take it seriously.

Black continued to shift his weight, pressing his entire body's mass onto Kira Ryosuke, using his body to exert even greater force and further pressure his opponent.

Yet, he still gained no advantage, as if an ordinary person were trying to move a mountain.

At this very moment, Kira Ryosuke accelerated further. He practically carried Black's weight entirely, taking large strides forward.

His speed gradually increased, the ball still firmly under his control, while Black found himself increasingly unable to keep up, losing his balance and falling behind.

"Damn brat."

Black cursed. Despite his frustration, he had to admit internally that he had lost this exchange to Kira Ryosuke.

"This guy actually beat Black? He didn't look like he was holding back just now!"

Seeing Black get dribbled past, Cavazos immediately moved to cover. While his physical stats weren't on par with Black or Silva, he possessed agility and technique superior to others, which was why he could so easily steal the ball from Bachira Meguru.

Kira Ryosuke saw Cavazos coming to cover, but he didn't slow down, still choosing to charge towards the opponent's side.

"Trying to power through me with speed? Your physique is decent, but you lack experience. I just need to find an opening to make the steal."

Cavazos thought to himself, adjusting his body posture and carefully observing Kira Ryosuke's dribbling rhythm, searching for the most opportune moment to steal.

'He's not slowing down, doesn't look like he's planning any feints? This makes it easier to steal!'

Cavazos mused as he leaned his body back.

But the instant Kira Ryosuke was about to make contact with Cavazos, he suddenly stopped!

Sudden Stop!

This move tested one's core strength and balance far more than it appeared. Kira Ryosuke used his excellent sense of rhythm to create a good amount of space for himself.
