The three ancient skeletons turned and approached the square. Countless jaguars surrounded the square and eyed those inside ravenously.

"Two out of three wins the match." The voice said, and then the door to Chichén Itzá abruptly opened.

The skeleton soldiers each raised a foot and stepped on the blue ball of fire in front of them.

"Can you do it?" Zhou Sheng asked Yu Hao, glancing at the iron ring that floated in the distance.

"What do you think?" Yu Hao said, "How could I?!"

The ring was so far away that Yu Hao couldn't even hope to shoot it in.

"Then it's up to the two of us." Zhou Sheng said as he looked at Chen Yekai.

Chen Yekai turned his head, looked at the skeleton soldiers, then said, "Yu Hao, you go first."

Yu Hao thought, of all the things you could do in your dream, why did it have to be soccer?! Couldn't you have chosen something I was good at?!

"I'll try my best." Yu Hao said, "Anyway, it's 2 out of 3, so I'll leave it up to you guys."

Zhou Sheng conveyed with his gaze for Yu Hao to remain calm. Yu Hao surveyed his surroundings for a long time, then raised his foot and violently kicked the fireball. The blue ball of fire sailed upwards and whizzed through the air in an arc. Chen Yekai immediately began to cheer.

Zhou Sheng, "Nice!"

But in the next moment, that skeleton soldier suddenly kicked and another blue light catapulted through the air and collided with Yu Hao's ball, which ricocheted off and passed by the floating ring of light at a sharp angle!

"That's not fair!" Yu Hao was still immersed in the shock of actually scoring a goal a minute ago, but now he cried out furiously at the injustice.

That voice rang out again, "You have failed, await death ba, just like me......"

Yu Hao said angrily, "You cheater! There's no way to win! He's making his own rules!"

Zhou Sheng raised his hand to stop Yu Hao, then he stepped forward, "Mr. Nakagawa, 2 out of 3, that's our deal. If you're going to make a bet, then you should be willing to accept a loss. It's our turn now, who'll go first?"

Chen Yekai pondered for a moment, then looked at the skeleton soldiers beside them, "I'll go first ba."

Chen Yekai gestured to Yu Hao to reassure him. Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao took two steps back. Chen Yekai murmured, "Ryuusei, I still have a lot that I want to say to you. I have been waiting for this opportunity all my life."

At the same time, Chen Yekai quickly moved forward, lifted his foot - while another of the skeleton soldiers beside him lifted its foot as well - and kicked the ball!

But the veteran Chen Yekai had feinted. He spun around, crouched slightly, and delayed for a moment before kicking the ball after the skeleton soldier had made its move!

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng cheered loudly together. All that could be seen were two blue fire shots that rushed towards the ring one after the other; the ball that Chen Yekai kicked arced beautifully and knocked away the skeleton soldier's ball before passing through the ring!

That voice suddenly burst into a rage, "You hypocritical scum!"

Chen Yekai looked up towards the pyramid and said calmly, "Take me away, Ryuusei, then everything will end!"

"Not yet!" Zhou Sheng said lazily. He walked forward and stepped on the flaming ball, "It's the last ball, how could we let you go alone?"

Yu Hao immediately became nervous. That voice said coldly, "Then come ba, let me see how capable you are."
