But upon careful consideration, at this distance, it was still uncertain whether the speed boost provided by the magnetic storm talent could send the ball into the goal without touching it.
It was entirely possible to imbue the ball with a certain rotational speed using this magnetism, but it was likely impossible to propel a football forty meters towards the goal with this force.
Everyone's anticipation reached its peak. They stood by, maintaining a distance of nearly ten meters, waiting for Cao Baming's demonstration. All eyes were fixed on Cao Baming's feet.
If they missed this spectacular moment due to a blink of an eye, they would surely regret it, as Cao Baming had stated he would only perform once.
Although he didn't know if it would work, after much thought, it was better to try!
Regardless, he should max out his attribute points first. He could now convert defense attributes, speed attributes, and the like entirely to shooting attributes, aiming to stack them up to 500 points.
Perhaps with higher attributes, something magical would truly happen!
Two seconds later, Cao Baming was ready. He slightly pulled back, and a surge of power rose from the roots of his thighs. Then, with just the edge of his shoe barely touching the football, it shot out with immense force!
The speed of the ball was so astonishing to everyone present, including Cao Baming himself, that they could hardly believe the power it possessed!
The other players on the field felt insulted. Cao Baming's shot hadn't even properly touched the ball, yet its speed and power surpassed that of any of them kicking with their full strength!
Everyone was so stunned they couldn't speak.
The power of the ball indeed exceeded expectations. Perhaps it was the effect of the 500 shooting attribute points. A casual kick could achieve such results. If he were to kick it normally, the goal might be blown away.
However, just one second after the ball flew out, Cao Baming's expression instantly changed. The ball wasn't flying in the correct direction.
Where on earth was it going?! Cao Baming became increasingly speechless, watching the ball trace a ridiculously exaggerated arc, ultimately heading towards the spectators behind the goal.
It had veered off course by an unbelievable margin!
This time, it wasn't just slightly off; it was a deviation of over ten meters!
Even so, the crowd erupted in applause. In their eyes, this was far beyond what a normal person could achieve.
Perhaps in this world, only Cao Baming could do this.
Whether the ball went into the goal or not was irrelevant. They simply wanted to see if magic existed in this world, and it seemed it did, but only manifested through Cao Baming.
"Amazing, amazing!"
"Incredible, truly eye-opening!"
"My eyes haven't learned, and my feet even less so. I was overthinking it!"
Cao Baming gritted his teeth slightly. This... was far from satisfactory!
Disregarding the surrounding chatter, he scanned his surroundings, searching for another football.
Although he had said he would only demonstrate once, as the decision-maker, how could he be bound by his own words? If he didn't prove himself quickly, it would be unbearable.
Spotting a football, Cao Baming immediately walked over, placed the ball under his foot, and began preparing again.
He didn't say a word, but the crowd around him had already guessed what he intended to do: try again.
Everyone was delighted to have a second chance and said nothing more.
While preparing, Cao Baming pondered the situation. What had happened? Why had it veered off course by so much? This talent was too unreliable!
It seemed he couldn't get too fancy. To increase accuracy, it needed to be more conventional.
With the assistance of his talent, the ball could curve more dramatically, confusing opponents. However, the power still needed to originate from contact with the ball, at least at this distance, it was essential.
With this realization, Cao Baming tried again. This time, with a resounding "bang," the football shot out at high speed, following an even more exaggerated trajectory towards the goal. This attempt was much more reliable!
As expected, very soon, the ball directly entered the net.
The onlookers applauded. They couldn't have missed the loud "bang" sound; it was impossible that he hadn't touched the ball. But none of that mattered anymore.
The trajectory of the ball spoke for itself. It was an arc no normal person could create; it was too outrageous!
This scene was captured by the photographer filming training highlights by the sidelines. He was very satisfied, knowing that if this footage were released, it would undoubtedly generate heated discussion!
For a photographer, the more people who saw and discussed his work, the more accomplished he felt.
Of course, this also benefited the club!
This second chance was also used up. Cao Baming was reasonably satisfied, and the other players were truly astonished by his masterful control of the football.
By now, no one was curious about how Cao Baming had reached his current position, how he had become so wealthy, even making it onto the world's rich list, or how he managed a team while still being a player!
In any profession, one can excel. When someone pursues something they love to such an extreme, doesn't that demonstrate their exceptional abilities?
How could such a person fail at anything?!
Amidst their astonishment, this thought filled them with shame. They considered their teammate, Cao Baming, a football prodigy from Tangguo, only twenty-one years old.
Not only was he better at playing football than them, but he also managed another team, acting as a big boss. What's more, that team was even a tier above their own club.
And they might not even be able to beat them if they met! This was too disheartening!
Thinking that they wouldn't meet for almost two more months, they felt a slight sense of relief.
On the training ground, the players of Nottingham Forest gradually came to understand an unknown side of Cao Baming. It turned out that his true abilities were even more terrifying than what was seen on the match field!
In today's world, when something exists in a form that transcends limits, it is bound to attract everyone's attention. This is a fact.
