Taking The lead

Destiny charged up his greatest speed and chased after Neo, Only for Neo to suddenly slow down, reverting to less than ten percent of his original speed. Destiny was annoyed and his thinking was almost nonexistent. right now, all he wanted was to crush Neo and prove Sam Parker wrong. He wanted to win this tournament, stand tall and prove to Sam that he made a wrong choice by choosing an outsider over him.

Destiny had strong conviction, but he was going about it in the worst way possible. Neo would never lose to a person like him.

Neo drew backwards, Destiny hot on his trail. Destiny managed to follow Neo's oddly paced movements, but not without putting strain on his knees.

Bro changed direction again, scampering forward, Destiny followed up again.

Then Neo's cold voice wafted into his ears. You haven't seen this before, have you? Now drown, superhuman…

…in the X-factor.

Destiny's pupils constricted as his legs suddenly felt alien.

After saying this, Neo moved away, leaving Destiny to crash land to the floor.

The skill Neo used was a very basic one, he just kept on moving around in an X fashion and coupling it with his footwork, he successfully trampled the superhuman.

Woah!!!

Is it just me or is there a glowing X on the floor!?

It isn't just you!

I see it! I see it too!!

Great eyes, Grid lord. Neo smiled as he launched the ball forward.

The Grid lord, that name was surely going to catch on.

Adrienne turned around to control the ball, he run past the defense and had his back to the goalkeeper.

Shit! When did he get there!?

Galaxy stars defenders hurried back to their home as they cussed inwardly.

Seeing that he was alone, Riley ran out of the box. His plan was to stop Adrienne from just after the middle of the pitch where Adrienne was.

The Goalkeeper had run halfway to meet Adrienne, but without even turning back, Adrienne kicked the ball over his head.

Damn it!!!

Riley cussed as he immediately turned around, trusting to return, but it was futile.

Riley slipped as the ball hit the back of the net.

GOALLL!!!!

Riley was stunned, then he became angry with himself.

Damn! How could I forget about the Grid lock!?

Destiny was even angrier than the Goalkeeper, he had not yet gotten up from the floor.

Krystal Fc had taken the lead the moment they scored the equalizer. What's more, he was humiliated by a failure like Neo Austin.

Riley sank to his knees as he banged the floor hard.

Destiny glared at Neo as he shook Adrienne then they both stared down on Riley who was kneeling in despair.

Adrienne spoke coldly. You're good enough, but today's your unlucky day.

Neo laughed as he placed his hand on Adrienne's shoulder, then stuck out his tongue at the Goalkeeper in a Kelechi fashion.

Yeah, you're faced with the Floater and the Grid lord…

…forget about this match and this tournament!

That was the magic of the Crystal college, once they scored one, the goals were going to keep coming.

Right now, it pissed Destiny that Neo had been able to stop him and he wasn't able to stop Neo. What's more, Neo had used him to unveil a skill he called the X factor.

What the hell!!!

Destiny stood up slowly. Alright, I'll teach that failure never to mess with a superhuman.

Pii!

From the two team's statistics and lineup, it was clear that the better team was Galaxy stars, but with Adrienne's sudden leveling up, Neo now had a teammate that was as good as him, so he didn't have to beat the stress alone.

If Adrienne had the Grid lock in the match against Marbles, then Krystal Fc would have easily come up with a big lead. Marbles couldn't even stand the appearance of the God mode and they were beat up by one player, but that one player now had a comrade.

Krystal Fc had become even more formidable in the last twenty one days.

The match had suddenly lost a lot of its tempo. They were now taking it slow, and no one seemed to be in a hurry.

Stanley passed the ball to Gerard who controlled the ball stylishly.

This elicited cheers and claps from the fans, but these were short lived.

Adrienne was suddenly and swiftly behind Gerard.

Crap!

Gerard was stunned and taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Grid lord.

Adrienne had a cold expression on his face as he spoke.

How dare you…?

How dare you be so careless in the presence of the Grid Lord…?
