Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1612 - 850: Arousing the Opponent’s Fighting Spirit

Chapter 1612: Chapter 850: Arousing the Opponent’s Fighting Spirit

In the first half, Mist City Arts and Science University’s Feiyue Team took a commanding 3-0 lead, sending their fans into ecstatic celebration.

The faces of every Lu City Team player reflected a stark change—from initial passion to utter disappointment.

Even after halftime, the Lu City players still seemed incapable of regaining their form. Despite the coach instructing them to adjust their mindset and fight to even the score in the second half—in addition to preventing Feiyue Team from scoring again—the players appeared unconvinced.

The goal seemed arduous, but no matter how difficult, it had to be pursued.

Unfortunately, the players didn’t seem to have the confidence.

Because in the first half, Feiyue Team showcased a level of skill that had already instilled "fear" in them. This was a formidable opponent; losing to them would still be considered a worthy defeat.

The audience, however, didn’t see it that way.

A worthy defeat? Is that how it works?

After halftime, the second half began.

Right from the kickoff of the second half, Ding Yue could clearly see that Feiyue Team’s players were still in excellent condition, whereas Lu City Team appeared listless.

"Yue, do you think Lu City has any chance to make a comeback in the second half?"

On a patch of grass near Dao City, beneath a sky full of stars, a group of people sat together watching the match.

Huang Youjie posed the question to Ding Yue.

"Highly unlikely."

Ding Yue shook his head. First, he had absolute confidence in Mist City Arts and Science University’s Feiyue Team. Second, with such a massive 3-0 lead, it would take a life-or-death effort from Lu City to stage a comeback—and even then, the odds weren’t good. Besides, Lu City’s actual strength was only so-so. To expect miracles would simply be wishful thinking.

Furthermore, Feiyue Team wouldn’t let their guard down in the second half. They would surely continue exerting full pressure on Lu City.

To put it bluntly, there was still a clear disparity in strength between Feiyue Team and Lu City Team.

Sure enough.

Seven minutes into the second half.

Feiyue Team spotted another great opportunity, launched an attack, and scored again!

"GOAL! Congratulations to Feiyue Team!"

The commentator erupted with excitement over the goal, though inwardly he had already grown somewhat indifferent.

After all, this was Feiyue Team’s fourth goal of the match, while Lu City hadn’t managed a single one so far. From the first half until now, they had only managed two or three close attempts at Feiyue Team’s penalty area and goalpost, but no actual goals.

"Looks like Lu City might end up being shut out completely by Feiyue Team."

"The strength gap is obvious."

"Feiyue Team is undeniably strong."

"Lu City Team used to be a Xia Super League giant, but what are they now?"

"Watching domestic football clubs just makes me angry (except Feiyue Football Club)."

"Feiyue Team has real potential this year."

"As a loyal Lu City fan, I think I’m jumping ship. I’ll support Feiyue Team instead."

"Only teams with actual skill like Feiyue deserve our support."

"Lu City Team has fallen from grace."

"I mean, when did Lu City turn into such trash?"

"Wow, isn’t this Luneng? Since when did they become this bad?"

"Go, Feiyue Team, go all out!"

Fans watching the live broadcast expressed their disappointment with Lu City Team’s performance while becoming increasingly excited about Feiyue Team’s performance.

Still.

Lu City Team was, after all, a professional team in the Xia Super League. Would they really leave without any pride after being down 4-0?

Hence.

Lu City’s players rallied, organizing several aggressive attacks. Most were neutralized by Feiyue Team’s defenders.

But one particular effort saw a Lu City attacker find an excellent angle and seize a rare opportunity.

Shot!

"GOAL! What a sneaky angle! Congratulations to Lu City Team on scoring a point!"

The commentator remained impartial, enthusiastically calling out every goal. This one, in particular, was exceptionally brilliant—the sharp angle made it impossible for Feiyue Team’s goalkeeper to intercept, ultimately giving Lu City their first point of the match.

"Ugh!"

Feiyue Team’s goalkeeper slammed the ground in frustration after failing to save the shot.

"Not bad, that was a solid goal."

Watching the match, Ding Yue wasn’t overly critical of the goalkeeper. Even the world’s best goalie would have had a low chance of stopping that particular shot.

Moreover, the goal reflected Lu City’s excellent timing, exceptional strategy, and flawless angle of attack. Ding Yue mused that the opportunity likely wasn’t planned through coordination—it seemed more like the shooter sensed the chance at that moment, took a gamble, and remarkably made it happen.

"True, that shot deserves some praise. The timing was spot-on."

"Yeah, it was a pretty good strike."

"Our players need to stay focused. The opponents have clawed back a point, and only ten-something minutes of the second half have passed."
