Fusion Skill: Super Heavy Gunner.

Yechens strength evolves with every match.

So, Lyu Xukai using the last game's insights to advise his good friend? That simply wouldn't work.

Of course, Yechen's transformation was only possible due to his grueling training. Otherwise, his improvement wouldn't have been this drastic.

On the other hand, Klopp attended the post-match press conference alongside Kehl.

Reporters raised the question of whether Yechen would start in the next match.

Klopp's response was affirmative: "Ye is in blazing form; I have no reason not to start him!"

"And do you have any response to Ferguson's remarks?"

"Ferguson has achieved great things at Manchester United, but his words are not absolute truth. Yes, Yechen was a youth player, but his talent was already evident during his time at United. That long-range chip from midfield still lingers in my mind! Of course, I must thank Manchester United—if they hadn't terminated his contract, how else could we have landed such a phenomenal striker?" Klopp maintained a smiling expression, genuinely appreciative of United's decision.

Put it this way: Yechen's transfer value had already surpassed ten million euros. But more importantly, a player of his caliber couldn't be acquired for just ten million.

Klopp's statement was undoubtedly a rebuttal to Ferguson, with a slight touch of feigned humility after benefiting from the situation.

Back in England, Ferguson quickly issued a response. "I admit the club made a misjudgment regarding Ye's talent, but I believe character outweighs skill. If a player isn't even willing to contribute to his own country, what use is he no matter how good he is?"

With this statement, Ferguson once again thrust Yechen into the spotlight.

Yechen heard Ferguson's words, but as the saying goes:

"If you don't understand the situation, don't make blind judgments!"

It's like telling an angry person to calm down without even knowing what upset them in the first place—just plain irritating.

Could China's national football team be compared to teams from other countries?

However, Yechen had no interest in debating these matters—dirty laundry should not be aired in public.

Meanwhile, Lina completed her enrollment at Dortmund Business School. She stayed in the dormitory and would only come to Yechen's villa on weekends.

Of course, Lina loved the villa—not just for its amenities but also for its design and prime location.

With a vast lawn behind it, Yechen could train there whenever the team had a break.

The only thing that made Lina a little uneasy was Klopp living next door.

Especially when, the next morning, Klopp's wife casually mentioned that the house had poor soundproofing—causing Lina's face to flush red.

But the real sufferer was Klopp himself. Even at fifty-something, he still had to endure a sleepless night because of his wife.

Taking advantage of some free time, Yechen claimed his match reward from the system.

This was a main quest—the system issued one for every match.

Since Werder Bremen was a strong opponent, the initial reward for this match was a Silver Chest.

And since Yechen had scored a hat trick to lead the team's comeback, the reward quality was upgraded to a Gold Chest!

What could he say? He was just that good!

Impatiently, Yechen commanded the system to open the chest.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the S-rank skill—Bati-Goal!"

Bati? Batistuta? Gabriel Batistuta?

Yechen was momentarily stunned. Though he had been watching football for a long time, he never had the chance to witness Batistuta's prime.

But highlights exist for a reason—Yechen had once marveled at Batistuta's long-range goals. Every single one was exhilarating and awe-inspiring!

The most terrifying part? Batistuta could unleash shots at 124 km/h…

What did that mean?

By the time the goalkeeper reacted, the ball was already in the net!

This was an absolute god-tier skill!

Although Yechen had the "Guaranteed Long-Range Goal" skill, which boosted his shot power and finishing attributes, he still felt his long-range shots were lacking when the skill wasn't triggered.

Just as Yechen was about to check the stats this new skill granted him, the system chimed in again.

"Ding! System detects that the S-rank skill 'Bati-Goal' overlaps with the S-rank skill 'Guaranteed Long-Range Goal.' They qualify for fusion. Would you like to proceed?"

Skill fusion?

The system could do that?

"Fuse them!" Yechen decided instantly.

"Ding! Skill fusion complete! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the SS-rank skill—Super Heavy Gunner!"

Another SS-rank skill!

His previous rapid improvement was due to the sudden emergence of "Poacher."

And now, in such a short time, he had acquired his second SS-rank skill!

His heart raced with excitement.

He quickly checked the skill description.

Super Heavy Gunner: +20% Long-Range Shot Accuracy. Passive Ability—Guaranteed Long-Range Goal: Every three long-range shots guarantee one goal. Can be activated once per match!

It evolved!

Before, it required five shots for a guaranteed goal—now, only three were needed.

Most importantly, the +20% Long-Range Shot Accuracy was a passive ability.

That meant that with every shot he took, at least 20% of them were guaranteed to go in.

This was insane.

Yechen took a deep breath before opening his personal attribute panel.

Shot accuracy had increased by five points, reaching 85!

Shot power had skyrocketed to 90, a whopping +10 boost!

Not only that, but his curve stat also improved, going from 65 to 70.

And an unexpected bonus—his free-kick ability shot up from 65 to 75!

That meant this skill had given him a total of 30 attribute points…

Absolutely insane!

"Batistuta, I love you!" Yechen thought in excitement.

Grabbing a football, he rushed to the backyard, where the sound of powerful shots soon echoed—"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Klopp, witnessing Yechen's technique and precision, nearly had his jaw drop to the floor.

This kid's long-range shots had gotten even better!

An absolute monster—his improvement was visibly astonishing.

With the team preparing for the Champions League, Klopp drove to the club early in the morning.

However, upon arrival, he was met with a surprising sight—Yechen was already on the pitch, sweating from training.

"Ye, didn't I tell you today was a rest day?" Klopp asked, puzzled.

"Boss, I don't need rest!" Yechen replied without hesitation.

With the system's new rewards, he needed training to solidify his form. At the same time, he was eager to improve his weaknesses.

Sure, some of his stats had already reached the 90+ range, but his attribute panel still had 40s and 50s scattered throughout.

Those were the areas he was desperate to enhance.

After all, he wasn't just aiming to be a star—he wanted to become a football legend.

Seeing Yechen's unwavering determination, Klopp couldn't help but feel emotional.

With talent like this, coupled with an unrelenting work ethic, how could he not succeed?

At this moment, Klopp felt like he owed Manchester United a song.

"Listen to me, thank you~ because you've warmed all four seasons~
