Your ability to resist has greatly increased!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power upgraded to Lv2... This is the reason for Ma’el’s exhilaration. After nearly twenty days of hard work, he has finally leveled up a physical attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sense of achievement and satisfaction is hard to describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if all the effort is truly worthwhile; the broad path ahead becomes clearer, and success is getting closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ma’el planned to upgrade Long Shot to Lv3 and Power to Lv2 tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the distance at hand, he couldn’t resist practicing a little longer, completing the upgrade today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The improvement is obvious, more so than the Long Shot upgrade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting, Ma’el got up and moved his body. He could feel that the extra fat in multiple parts of his body was slowly disappearing, replaced by thin muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think that this seemingly not bulky lean build has weak resistance; it precisely represents excellent muscle density and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it cannot match those famous physical beasts in professional arenas, it’s enough to outperform average opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this, I’ll be much more confident when stepping onto the field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el smiled slightly.

He looked up, suddenly stopping in disbelief, as if he had seen something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tall figure briskly walking away at the end of the road seemed to be... Mr. Wenger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most fans, Ma’el held deep admiration and affection for Arsenal’s legendary manager Wenger, while also feeling sorry for the troubles he faced at the end of his career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a suave and graceful old man, who wouldn’t love him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, it helped Ma’el embrace this body and this club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well, I’ll surely meet him in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el didn’t rush to catch up but watched for a long time before turning onto another road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, there was only one day left before the trial selection match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Hans had already arranged that there would only be morning training today and the afternoon would be a break for players to adjust and prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After morning training ended, he gathered everyone together to announce tomorrow’s starting lineup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Formation four-three-three with double defensive midfielders.

But he shows up for these trial players?\" someone said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What luck, it’s really a break for these kids!\" someone looked jealously at the trial players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re replaced by one of those seven trial players, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hans was straightforward in his refusal: \"I’ve promised they play the entire game in this match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After morning training, Ma’el had lunch at the cafeteria, rested for a while, then headed to the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t plan to overtrain today; his shooting practice needed only six more skill points, enough to upgrade in over an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll train, then rest straight away, conserving energy for the upcoming battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el poured the balls from the bag and quickly took a leg and shot, starting his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mild sunlight shone on the Korni Training Base, illuminating pitch after pitch vibrantly, also casting a glow on Ma’el.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This season on the British Peninsula is indeed comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the breeze brush his face and sunlight falling, Ma’el’s mood improved as he methodically continued training, indulging in the joy of playing amidst such scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour passed swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another shot, a strong sensation surged through Ma’el’s leg and waist, bringing a tingly feeling to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his Long Shot had been upgraded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Violent Bombing Lv3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Level: (1\u002F800)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Utility: Through repeated refining, you discover your Long Shot has reached the level of a professional team’s heavy artillery.
