My Soulmate is a Libero

The Chinese team held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Brazilian beasts and their little companions, but little did they know that Brazil was also planning to give them a tough time.

As was well known, in the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Brazilian women’s volleyball team was defeated by the Chinese women’s volleyball team on their home turf and lost the championship.

From that moment on, the Brazilian women’s volleyball team kept a grudge and wished to watch videos of the Chinese women’s volleyball team’s matches as the first thing every morning, and they also recited their names during training.

This was the archenemy!

Just before, the coach of the Brazilian national youth team, Elliot, had attacked Lao Niu while intoxicated and was knocked down by Qin the War God. It was hard to say how Elliot felt about the incident, but his players all respected him and felt obligated to help their coach regain control on the field.

The two teams were like lovers and mistresses at the moment, with one wanting to impress and the other wanting to rob their wealth.

Fate, huh.

Dominique also told his teammates, “Tomorrow, we had to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, shatter their confidence, and make them feel scared when they meet Brazilians in the future!”

This young man who had mixed blood from multiple countries and a mother who was a model had the handsomeness of the top black men. Standing there without speaking, he looked like a sculpture, and even the poker-sized king tattoos covering his arms had a unique artistic atmosphere.

The premise was that he didn’t open his mouth.

Dominique said to Elliot again, “Don’t worry, today watch how I dealt with those little dwarves.”

Elliot said, “We already talked about this, Dominique. It wasn’t Newton’s fault for what happened that day. I had too much to drink and offended him. His players didn’t harm me.”

Dominique chuckled and said calmly, “But buddy, I’m the one who lose face when you were knock down.”

At this moment, if Elliot had not retired due to injury and had replaced his knee joint with a metal joint, he would have jumped up and slapped Dominique’s head.

In Coach Elliot’s eyes, Dominique looked like a “big shot’s little lackey” who deserved a beating. But what was frustrating was that he had a talent of historic proportions, so he managed to survive without anyone teaching him how to be a decent person.

After discussing the rough tactics, Dominique got up and left the coach’s room. He walked for a while, and the lights in the hallway made a sizzling sound before turning off.

Dominique looked up in confusion and asked, “Did the light bulb break? Or did the power go out?”

Just then, a strange sniffling sound came from behind him.

Here was a defense for Dominic: he wasn’t afraid of ghosts, even though he didn’t dare to watch horror movies. In fact, he was a materialist and his whole family didn’t believe in religion.

Then he heard a wail not far away, someone shouting something in a foreign language as they ran towards him. They were only about 10 centimeters shorter than him. Dominic had never hated his night vision ability more, as it allowed him to clearly see the person’s grim expression.

“Min Yaoyang: “Wow, Xiaowu has a power outage, ahhhhhhhhhhh——””

Dominique: “Wooowwwww, devil!”

Because Dominique was black, Min Yaoyang didn’t notice anyone in front of him when the light went out. It wasn’t until Dominique opened his mouth and shouted that he barely saw two rows of white teeth.

Min Yaoyang became even more frightened: “The ghost is coming to eat me! Mommy, help me!”

The two of them shouted at the top of their lungs, then turned around and ran away. After a few seconds, Li Ling walked out holding a cup of instant noodles.

Li Ling didn’t like Czech food and couldn’t eat enough these days, so he snuck out to eat instant noodles under the pretext of going to the bathroom. But if he didn’t go back soon, Xiaozai would probably find out that he was stealing food.

Sigh, the few buckets of instant noodles that were brought overseas were consumed in just a few days. I didn’t know if Xiaozai was willing to share his energy bars with him.

Li Ling said, “Slurp, slurp, Delicious.”

On the other side, Qin Chunxiao played a game of Landlord with Aizimaiti, Fu Biyang, and Qiao Mingming.

Qiao Mingming was a little uneasy: “Has Li Ling not come back yet? Did he faint or something?”

Qin Chunxiao didn’t even lift his head: “He goes out to sneakily eat instant noodles, he probably has to wait until the smell on his body disappears before daring to come back.”

Fu Biyang’s face was full of surprise: “Didn’t the nutritionist say that we shouldn’t eat anything else before bed except for milk and things to cushion our stomachs?”

Qin Chunxiao slapped two twos on the table and said, “So I don’t care about him, but Czech food really doesn’t suit his taste. If he wants to fill it up, then let him fill it up. I win. Be conscious and stick the note on.”

At this moment, Xiong Wu ran over to knock on their door: “Captain Qiao, Xiao Zai, have you seen Yao Yang? He said he wanted to go downstairs to buy water and hasn’t come back yet.”

“Yao Yang is lost?”

The three of them jumped up and went to find someone with Xiong Wu. They saw Min Yaoyang at the hotel front desk. The young man was gesturing and trying to use poor English to make the front desk girl understand that this hotel was haunted.

Xiong Wu felt extremely embarrassed and ran up to her, saying, “Both of your mothers are party members, why are you so superstitious? Come back with me now!”

Qiao Mingming approached and comforted Min Yaoyang, who was the second youngest in the team: “Yaoyang, there are no ghosts in the world. Go back and rest. Xiong Wu and I are in the same room as you. Even if there are ghosts, they won’t harm you first. Xiong Wu and I look like we are easier to deal with than you.”

Looking at the chaos in front of them, Qin Chunxiao and Fu Biyang said, “This is the biggest reason why I don’t want to be a team leader.”

Fu Biyang felt sad.

Although they had a chaotic night, the players appeared in the arena the next day with a lively and energetic spirit.

Dominique held a lollipop in his mouth, carrying a water bottle with one hand, and his head, standing at a height of 2.18 meters, held high with an invincible expression on his face. He exuded the same aura as the leader of the Blackie Society when leading his teammate out.

The Brazilian team looked across the field and noticed that their opponents had entered the stadium in an even more arrogant manner than they had.

The three big men, Qiao Mingming who was 199cm tall with his left arm around Liu Yuelou who was 203cm tall and his right arm around Min Yaoyang who was 205cm tall, walked out side by side, looking like a mountain.

This was requested by Min Yaoyang, he felt that entering like this had a great presence.

Dominique lightly hummed, “This Chinese team of this generation should have been the tallest team in Asia on average, right? Oh, no, their libero was quite short.”

Dominique pointed at Qin Chunxiao and said, “People who lower the average height.”

He spoke in Portuguese, even Lao Niu couldn’t understand it, so he felt relieved. Great, Qin Chunxiao shouldn’t be provoked by the other side.”


Qin Chunxiao was drinking water and directly crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand upon hearing the words.

Qiao Mingming, Liu Yuelou, and Min Yaoyang quickly turned around to persuade: “Xiao Zai, calm down! Fighting will result in a ban! The other side is talking nonsense, maybe he is praising you for being handsome!”

Qin Chunxiao sneered, “Li Ling, lift me up, I’m going to tackle him!”

Li Ling: “Okay.”

After a chaotic period of war, everyone finally stood on the court and listened to the national anthem.

At this moment, coaches Newton and Elliot were extremely grateful that their players were truly patriotic. As the national anthem played, they all had solemn expressions and sang along with great seriousness.

According to the drawing result, the Chinese team had won the right to serve.

At the same time, the camera shifted away from Qin Chunxiao’s face and focused on You Ziyu walking towards the serving area.

You Ziyu, the captain of the H Province Youth Team, was jokingly referred to as “squid” and “serve team captain” by domestic volleyball fans. He was 2.11 meters tall with an arm span of 2.25 meters. He was not only the highest altitude in the team, but also the person with the best static talent in the Chinese youth men’s volleyball team.

Newton looked at You Ziyu solemnly: “The squid has excellent explosive power, ball sense, and ball IQ, but the only weakness is a lack of endurance. If he plays five full matches, his performance will quickly decline. Therefore, to enhance his scoring ability and end the game as soon as possible, he has developed a unique underhand serve.”

You Ziyu took a deep breath, tossed the ball with his left hand, clenched his right fist, and fiercely struck the ball from bottom to top with his tiger mouth.

The yellow and blue balls flew into the sky and quickly fell down. The Brazilian team’s first pass immediately ran towards the ball, but failed to catch it in time. The ball hit the ground, one point!

Newton clenched his fist and exclaimed in a low voice, “Good!”

On the second ball, You Ziyu watched vigilantly across the court. The opponent almost intercepted his ball with their first pass, so he couldn’t continue to send the ball to the front court.

发后排压线球吗?

Do you want to hit a backhand drop shot?

You Yiyu adjusted his mentality and served again, but he knew it was not good as soon as he served. He exerted too much force and it was likely to go out of bounds.

Fortunately, the landing point of the serve was also difficult to judge. The opponent, with the spirit of rather killing the wrong than letting it go, received it with a pass. The second setter quickly took position and passed the ball to the net.

Dominique took two steps for a run-up, jumped and raised his arms high, and slammed the ball heavily at a height of at least 3.75 meters!

Fu Biyang immediately jumped up to block the ball, but was mercilessly slammed down by this adolescent divine beast.

Dominique thought to himself: 1:1.

No one expected the situation to be turned around so quickly by the other side.

Qiao Mingming said in a deep voice, “It’s okay, prepare for a new round.”

Qin Chunxiao exchanged glances with Mao Xunfeng and Li Ling, and they all prepared themselves for battle.

The new ball was served by the second setter of the Brazilian team. Qin Chunxiao easily received it, and Mao Xunfeng passed the ball to Qiao Mingming who spiked it, but unfortunately, the opposing libero received the ball.

The ball possession quickly passed to Dominique’s hands. He jumped with ease, ready to smash the ball and bring the score to 2-1. However, in the moment he was about to smash, he accidentally caught sight of a small figure. He recognized the person as someone who had almost started a fight with him earlier.

At the spot where the volleyball landed, the boy with the blue headband raised his wolf-like eyes and smiled at Dominique

With hands clasped together, Chunxiao skillfully lifted the ball and sent it to the position of the second pass at the net. Then, he performed a nimble backflip to remove the force of the ball.

Mao Xunfeng quickly passed back: “Four!”

Li Ling ran to the fourth position, which is the far left of the net, and jumped as high as she could. Before the opponent could react, she quickly smashed the ball down and the two of them played a fast attack.

The referee raised his hand.

Score 2:1, China team leads by 1 point!

Xiong Wu and Du Xiaofeng both looked at Qin Chunxiao in surprise: “He really stopped the ball!”

Although Dominique clearly didn’t use all his strength, Qin Chunxiao defended very easily, using the block to position himself early at the point where the ball was going to land, showing that he still had some energy left.

Newton was also pleasantly surprised: “It really works!’”

Volleyball is a sport where miracles can happen as long as the ball doesn’t touch the ground. As long as the defense is strong enough to receive the opponent’s ball, their teammates will naturally strive to attack and score, aiming for victory.

So when the opposite hitter blocks successfully or the libero receives the ball successfully, the cheers from the audience are not much less than when the supported team scores a spike!

In order to boost the morale of the team and face the Brazilian team head-on, he sent out a starting lineup consisting of Qiao Mingming, Fu Biyang, You Ziyu, Li Ling, Qin Chunxiao, and Mao Xunfeng, who were either steady or daring, and dared to fight hard against strong opponents.

He didn’t let the libero go up, but instead, according to Qin Chunxiao’s request, let him guard against Dominique.

With Qin Chunxiao’s successful defense, the morale of the entire team was boosted!

Xiong Wu felt embarrassed and tried to convince Min Yaoyang, who believed the hotel was haunted, to come back to their room. Qiao Mingming comforted Yaoyang and assured him that there were no ghosts and that they would protect him. Qin Chunxiao and Fu Biyang expressed their relief that they were not team leaders. The next day, the Chinese team entered the arena in an arrogant manner, with Dominique making a snide remark about Qin Chunxiao’s height. Qin Chunxiao became angry and Li Ling had to calm him down. During the game, You Ziyu scored a point with an underhand serve, but the Brazilian team quickly made a comeback with a powerful spike from Dominique. However, Qin Chunxiao successfully blocked Dominique’s next spike, boosting the morale of the Chinese team.

The young men formed a circle and cheered happily.

With this successful point, the serve returned to the Chinese team’s side. Qin Chunxiao rotated to the first position, walked to the serving area, received the volleyball, and smiled at Dominique once again.

On the volleyball court, blocking the team’s first line of defense, while the libero is the one who eliminates the opponent’s attack the most.

Qin Chunxiao thought that Dominique was tall and had a high center of gravity, so he was not good at receiving balls that were passed to his feet.

The best way to deal with him was to use a powerful jumping attack!

Bang!

The volleyball sliced through the air in a sharp arc and landed heavily at Dominique’s feet.
