Chapter 666: 665 A flash of inspiration
The entire field was utterly stunned.
Even as they witnessed it with their own eyes, they still couldn’t understand how it all happened, as if they were seeing martial arts from a movie:
Mysterious and unpredictable.
Yet, the scene had unfolded just like that.
One second ago, Li Wei was staggering through narrow gaps, struggling to survive.
The next second, Jefferson rolled over like a clumsy panda, his eyes blankly watching the fading figure wearing the number twenty-three.
...
Step, step, step.
Li Wei was leading the charge.
Originally, Li Wei had been exhausted but, after the bumps and turbulence, he found his strength again, straightened his knees, pushed off continuously, and picked up speed once more.
The thirty-five-yard line.
The thirty-yard line.
With each leap, the first strike was secured, and then he could see Wendell standing across from him in the distance.
As one of the Baltimore Ravens Defense’s two great mountains, Wendell was experienced, seasoned, and immediately made an accurate judgment of the situation.
Wendell didn’t rashly advance because he was the Baltimore Ravens’ last line of defense. Once breached, Li Wei’s blade would pierce the heart.
Wendell constantly adjusted his footing, using his speed advantage to quickly close in on Li Wei. He didn’t rush to tackle but nimbly entangled Li Wei.
At the twenty-five-yard line, getting close, collision, squeezing.
At the twenty-yard line, disrupting, interfering, bumping.
Wendell proved his experience by slowing down Li Wei with successive interferences, and the energy Li Wei had just gathered was exhausted in the collisions.
And most importantly, Wendell delayed time, and the reinforcements rushed in to help.
Li Wei could see the encroaching shadows of the black jerseys swarming in from all directions with the corner of his eye—he was out of time.
Now, Li Wei’s urgency became imperative.
What to do?
One yard, two yards, now advancing each yard felt like a heavy entanglement, as if moving through a swamp.
With no time to hesitate, Li Wei made a split-second decision. Bracing for the risk of falling into an ambush, he didn’t stubbornly push forward but stopped in his tracks instead.
Wendell, caught off guard, slightly mispositioned himself.
But Wendell reacted quickly a second time, no longer caring about the rules, and raised his hand to tug on Li Wei’s jersey, as if an octopus trying to wrap around him.
Li Wei, unruffled, had held back a move—
Straight Arm Block.
The football had already been switched to his right hand. His left hand fiercely wrapped around Wendell’s left shoulder.
Once, twice.
And finally, a third time.
In a burst of power, he forcefully disrupted Wendell’s balance. His feet stepped forward in rhythm, and he created a physical impact through the combined force of his strength and speed, pushing and bumping along.
Ah, ahhh!
Breaking through!
Wendell felt a heaviness in his chest, blood roiled within him, and his body collapsed.
Ugh.
Wendell couldn’t even cry out before his eyes widened to see Li Wei lunging forward, stumbling a bit before flying out—
Literally.
Li Wei felt his body breaking free of gravity, sustaining motion only through the tips of his toes pushing off the ground, unable to exert any force in his footsteps, which grew increasingly drifting and floating, as if about to fly away.
The next step might well be a nosedive, a direct faceplant.
Push off the ground.
Push off! Exert force!
Find your center of gravity.
That was the only thought in Li Wei’s mind now.
Before he could regain his balance, a shadow appeared on his right:
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
For just a fleeting moment, they were back at the University of Alabama’s practice field.
Only, Humphrey was no longer the Humphrey of those days, and Li Wei was no longer the Li Wei from back then.
Humphrey immediately closed in, showing no mercy even though his opponent was Li Wei—
Take advantage while you’re down.
Humphrey clenched his jaw tightly, increasing his speed in an attempt to block the position and complete the interception.
A chase ensued.
Li Wei was looking for balance, as he and Humphrey were now neck and neck.
Then, Humphrey could see a smile curling at the corner of Li Wei’s mouth inside his helmet. Humphrey immediately sounded the alarm; before he could react, Li Wei had already closed in aggressively.
Wait, a collision?
Humphrey knew of Li Wei’s capabilities and wouldn’t take him lightly; his muscles tensed in an instant, ready to meet Li Wei’s collision or a straight arm block.
Li Wei: Heh heh.
Just as a collision seemed inevitable, Humphrey blinked, and Li Wei had already tensed his muscles to control his body, with a nimble and agile step, brushing past Humphrey’s right arm and shoulder—
With a light touch.
Smooth, fluid, and silent.
Without exerting force, relying solely on control, Li Wei had already skirted past Humphrey as nimbly as skipping around a pole.
Humphrey, with his muscles still tense, was obviously half a beat behind, failing to keep up; his breath was cut off in an instant, and he reflexively raised his hand to reach forward.
He made contact!
Humphrey slapped Li Wei’s shoulder, but without the chance to exert force, Li Wei slid past like an eel, continuing his charge.
The palm, striking air.
Humphrey’s breath hitched, his secondary reaction quick, as he immediately closed the gap.
The fifteen-yard line was left behind.
The ten-yard line was within reach.
Humphrey kept pace with Li Wei, his speed exploding to the max, sprinting full out with no reservations. He caught up with Li Wei, whose steps were still not fully adjusted, and raised his hands to prepare for the tackle.
However!
Acceleration, initiated.
In an instant, the distance widened.
The ten-yard line, in the blink of an eye, was now the five-yard line.
Li Wei had already dodged Humphrey’s lunge, holding his breath, exerting full force; his speed was finally unleashed, his graceful figure turning into a streak of light.
The next second—
“End zone!”
“End zone! Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh…”
Nantz, his mind blank, had only one thought:
Touchdown.
This was Li Wei’s capability.
Suppress, suppress, and keep suppressing, but the moment you are even slightly negligent, even the slightest misalignment—and not even requiring an oversight or gap, because Li Wei would create his own opportunity and then bring his ability to the utmost:
Strength. Speed. Change of direction. Tenacity. Agility.
All eighteen martial arts mastered, and then, leaving everyone in the dust.
This scene, even if witnessed with one’s own eyes, even after having seen it more than once on the Professional League stage over these two years, still sends chills down the spine.
A quick toss play disguised as a fake pass, it seemed as if the Kansas City Chiefs’ ground attack might stall to a mere two or three-yard gain, but Li Wei turned the tide:
He eluded the defense of five players, broke free from three tackles, and three times danced on the edge of the reaper’s blade, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
Incredible!
Unparalleled brilliance!
In a moment, the entire Arrowhead Stadium erupted into a frenzy.
Ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh.
A roar like a tidal wave, released all at once.
On the sidelines, Harbaugh quietly watched the scene, a breath caught in his chest, and then let it out in a long sigh:
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
If only they had been a bit braver back then, if only they had been a bit bolder, they could have had Li Wei, basked in these accolades and cheered with the crowd, but now, they could only stand on the sidelines and appreciate this moment.
In the end, Harbaugh raised his hands high to applaud Li Wei.
Despite being the opposition, Harbaugh agreed that Li Wei’s performance deserved all the praise; this was an elite player, capable of changing the game on his own strength.
But then again, football is a team sport, and this was just the beginning.
“Stay calm. Stay calm!”
Harbaugh comforted his own players, nodding and affirming with his eyes, “Good job, very good. Next, let’s see how our offensive group performs.”
