Time is up, the environment selection has ended, and the second phase of Blue Lock has officially begun.
The selected players all looked towards the flag of their respective leagues, and a door below opened for them.
Ye Liangqiu looked at the German flag, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"You chose this league too?" At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear, and Hiori Yo walked over with a bewildered expression, but his un-surprised look showed he had already guessed that Ye Liangqiu would choose this place.
Or rather, almost everyone who had competed against Ye Liangqiu knew that Germany was one of his choices.
Ye Liangqiu looked back and realized that many people were staring at him.
Among them, Yoichi Isagi, Raichi, On Ryu, and Kurona… almost all looked at him with intense fighting spirit, clearly indicating they were the players who had chosen Germany.
As the door slowly opened, Ye Liangqiu was the first to step in.
Inside, Ego Jinpachi's holographic projection was already present, and after everyone had entered, he spread his fingers, and a club logo slowly lit up: "Bastard München," the strongest team in the Bundesliga.
Ego Jinpachi said, "You will participate in training with this club team."
Many people were somewhat surprised, as they had originally thought it would be similar to the previous format, but now it seemed different; it wasn't just the Blue Lock players who underwent this second phase of testing.
Other star players from various countries also seemed to have come to Blue Lock to undergo this test.
Just as everyone was wondering,
Ego Jinpachi continued, "I will create a Five Great Leagues environment in Blue Lock. To this end, I have specially recruited eleven supernovas of similar age to you from the Five Great Leagues. These clubs are Man City from England, Yu Bo Si from Italy, FC Barcha from Spain, PXG from France, and Bastard München from Germany."
"And the league you have chosen will involve a battle for supremacy with these supernovas."
"Stand out from the crowd."
"From this moment on, I am no longer your instructor. Those who will guide you are the ace strikers who have shone brightly and stood above all others in the top leagues."
Under everyone's astonished gaze, a figure in the darkness was illuminated by the lights.
One of the ace strikers, a master-level striker with the title of the world's strongest player.
Noel Noah.
His mere presence standing there exuded a sense of oppression.
At this point, Ego Jinpachi's words were not finished; he continued to explain, "In the last match, Blue Lock shone brightly, causing quite a stir in the world, and thus received appreciation from many sponsors, which is why we were able to invite these ace players."
"Of course, it's not just you who will have such a master to guide you."
"Each of the other four leagues will also have a master."
"England's master is the 'Chris Prince' from Man City, a perfect hero almost as famous as Noel Noah."
"Spain's master is FC Barcha's league top scorer, the flamboyant dribbling genius and dance master 'Lavinho'."
"Italy's master is Yu Bo Si's victorious traveler, known as the 'Crown Deliverer,' 'Snaffi'."
"France's master is someone you are very familiar with, the speed-type forward from PXG, one of the new generation's supernovas, 'Shindo Loki'."
It wasn't until Ego Jinpachi finished his introduction that everyone understood how much effort this guy had put in during this time to invite these world-class players.
It should be noted that the last time Blue Lock invited those five world-class players, Ye Liangqiu knew that each goal was worth a million US dollars.
This time... who knows how much money was spent.
Ego Jinpachi smiled, "First, you must accept your master's training and strive to be selected for the starting eleven during the Blue Lock and club merger period."
"Otherwise, you will remain benched, just like during the match against the U20 National Team."
"That feeling shouldn't be pleasant, should it?"
"As for the players selected for the starting lineup, they will compete against teams from other leagues in the same format as your second round of selection where you weren't eliminated; the five leagues will play a round-robin tournament."
"And the matches will have two special rules: first, the match will be decided by a three-point victory system."
"Second, unlimited substitutions."
"Players can be substituted freely at any time during any match."
"Finally, regarding your masters, each match will have one opportunity for them to enter the field, but only for three minutes."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Noel Noah. Three minutes... many miracles can be created on the field... they didn't expect such a requirement.
Ego Jinpachi clapped his hands, "These are all the rules and a detailed overview of the second phase."
"Of course, this will be the final test before the U20 National Team."
"It is also the highest-level new generation battle in history."
"I have named it 'New Hero League'."
Ego Jinpachi's voice became increasingly passionate, igniting everyone's interest.
Ye Liangqiu, standing below, slowly curved his lips upwards, "Incredible, incredible, Noel Noah is going to teach me how to play football."
His gaze then turned to Yoichi Isagi and the others, who were completely immersed in excitement.
A battle for supremacy?
The path to becoming the world's number one seemed to be right before his eyes.
"Oh, right." Suddenly, just as the holographic projection was about to close, Ego Jinpachi suddenly turned around and said, "Almost forgot, there's also a special player who will join the German league."
"The winning team in Blue Lock advanced through the stages but was ultimately eliminated at the very end."
"However, where there is positive, there is negative. In a place unknown to all of you, I prepared a special resurrection channel specifically for the eliminated players."
"And in the end, one undead successfully resurrected."
Everyone was shocked; no one had expected there to be an eliminated player's resurrection match.
The next moment, with the sound of a mechanical door opening,
A figure walked in from outside the door.
Kunigami Rensuke, returned from hell, re-entered this smoke-filled battlefield. His eyes were countless times colder than before, like an emotionless robot, and the aura emanating from him was like a king returned from hell.
Yoichi Isagi still wanted to go up and greet him.
But he found that Kunigami completely ignored him, merely giving him a cold glance.
At this moment, the actors were all present.
New Hero League.
Officially opened.
