Chapter 598: 597 break out of the armor Chapter 598: 597 break out of the armor Artie Burns’s footsteps were slightly staggered.
After getting rid of Kelsey’s entanglement, he didn’t have time to catch his breath.
With all his might, he threw his body forward, continuing the charge with inertia and centrifugal force whipping around him.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
In Burns’s eyes and mind, there was only the red number 23.
...
Clenching his teeth and tensing his muscles, he hurled himself at his opponent without any reservation.
Closer, even closer—
Li Wei didn’t dodge.
He came face to face, and Burns wouldn’t let Li Wei get away.
He stared dead at Li Wei, watching for any sudden changes in direction.
Between the shaking and swaying of steps, he was always ready to follow through.
However, there was none.
Relief.
Burns knew his judgment was correct and was about to make a precise tackle, but he still didn’t relax.
his muscles tensed to the extreme.
Hold.
He held his breath.
In the next second, Burns saw the football switch to Li Wei’s left hand, his right arm straightening, and a pillar erected between them at the first instance—
Straight arm block!
Alert!
As Burns wobbled, he added all his body weight into the push, throwing everything into the tackle, preparing to overpower with sheer strength.
The clash was head-on.
Bang.
Burns felt an overwhelming force from his left shoulder instantly release, his chest tightened, and before he could even cry out, that force continued to barrel forward, propelled by Li Wei’s right shoulder, layering on top of each other.
A touch.
It was just a brief contact, yet Burns spun out like a top, flying away like a kite with its string cut.
The world spun wildly.
Burns: Shit.
“Straight arm block!”
“Spectacular!”
“Li Wei flips Burns with one hand!
Burns doesn’t stand a chance, like a rag doll, Beast Mode shining again at Arrowhead Stadium!”
“Li Wei, unstoppable!”
TJ Watt.
“Watt is chasing, God, Watt has reached his maximum speed.”
“However!”
“Li Wei is also accelerating, unbelievable!
Incredible!
Li Wei has fully unleashed his speed.”
“The fifteen-yard line!”
“Li Wei is running faster and faster, faster and faster, Watt has been left behind!”
TJ watched in despair as Li Wei’s figure got farther and farther away in his field of vision, surging ahead unbeatably, that burst of red showing a determined dominance.
The ten-yard line.
The five-yard line.
And then—
“Touchdown!”
“Touchdoooooooown!”
“Li Wei!”
“Kansas Chieftain’s number twenty-three, Li Wei, a forty-two-yard rushing touchdown, and it’s also his third touchdown of the game.”
“Jesus Christ, last season’s Super Bowl MVP facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, showing no mercy.”
“Listen, Arrowhead Stadium is unleashing their roar.”
Felix was the first to stand up, singing passionately.
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he’s the Edgerunner, Li Wei, Li Wei, Li Wei!”
Smiles, radiantly blooming, a heart so hot it might just burst.
Throughout the stadium, waves of intense heat rolled in like magma, Kansas Chieftain’s home ground’s red wave displaying its mighty force once again.
Bright red, scalding, pouring out beyond the TV screen.
Ah!
Ahhhh!
Bell clenched his fists, unable to contain the passion and joy in his chest.
He jumped up, throwing his arms up and shouting.
Not just him, throughout the villa, all friends and family turned into a surging wave of heat, cheering mindlessly for Li Wei.
Because of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and not just because of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
More important than beating the Pittsburgh Steelers and showing up Bell’s team was Li Wei proving the value of a top-notch running back in such a game.
Maybe a running back isn’t a quarterback; maybe running backs can’t control the game like quarterbacks do, that’s a fact; but a running back is always an indispensable link in a Football team, an elite running back can’t be compared with an ordinary one, and a running back is definitely not a disposable tool.
Today, the Steelers ignoring Bell reflected the League’s general undervaluation of running backs.
If possible, Bell wouldn’t want to hold out or strike; he would love to stand on the field and directly compete with Li Wei to see who truly is the number one running back in the League.
But as things stood, Bell had no choice but to watch the game live at home, carrying the label of “greedy,” fighting for recognition, both for himself and for all running backs.
So, Bell admired Li Wei—
They were competitors, even enemies, yet Li Wei still stood up in his own way, making his voice heard.
