The rules for the monthly exam are somewhat different from a formal rugby match; they have been simplified.

So, there's no process for kicks to add points. After Li Pu reached the scoring area, the blue team directly increased by 1 point.

At the end of the game, the point differential between the two teams will be added to each member of the winning team's individual points.

Individual points will determine the ranking for this monthly exam.

In this round, the blue team smoothly scored by using up three offensive possessions.

Next is the transition from offense to defense.

After the touchdown, the blue team's trust in Li Pu reached its peak.

Thus, they let Li Pu choose his defensive position first.

Defensive positions are relatively few, divided into forward and rover.

The forward is responsible for confronting the opposing guard line while trying to quickly break through the defense to approach and disrupt the passer, or even tackle him before he can pass.

The rover is responsible for marking the receivers and rushers, especially to hinder the receiver from successfully catching long passes.

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Li Pu is actually a very team-oriented person.

Wanting to secure victory for the team, he wants to choose a position that can best help the team.

So after observing the red team for a moment, he chose rover.

The reason was simple: because Wu Guinan had chosen the receiver position.

It needs to be stated again, Li Pu is a very team-oriented person.

He definitely did not choose to square off against Wu Guinan out of revenge.

Of course, if Wu Guinan accidentally broke a few ribs in the process, he could only regrettably say: It's your own fault.

After all, in a game involving body contact, bumps and bruises are inevitable.

"Alright, I got it!"

Wu Guinan, on the other end, yet unaware of what he was about to face, was receiving tactical instructions from the red team's captain.

As an experienced player, the red team's captain would take on the role of the quarterback.

He instructed Wu Guinan and other receivers to run routes that would disrupt the defense, and then decide based on the situation to whom he would pass the ball.

Or, if none of the options seemed good, just hand it off to the rusher to try a breakthrough.

But considering there's a monster on the other side, the red team captain felt it might be dangerous to hand the ball to the rusher.

It must be said, compared to the blue team's single focus on "giving the ball to Li Pu," the red team's tactics seemed much more professional.

[Gua!]

Bang!

As the Big Brother Frog pulled the trigger, the red team's first attack round officially began.

"Brothers and sisters, cover me!"

The red team captain quickly retreated upon receiving the snap, using the Pumpkin Monster's reports to start looking for a long pass target.

When it comes to physical strength, the blue team is actually at a disadvantage.

This caused their forward to be unable to break through the red team's guard line and pose a real threat to the passer for a while.

But after all, compared to the defensive line which can only respond defensively, the forward always holds the initiative, so the blue team's encirclement of the passer began to gradually tighten.

(It's about time!)

Seeing the blue team's forward closing in on his perimeter, the red team captain prepared to make a long pass.

As for the target, he had already locked it with the help of the Pumpkin Monster.

It's Wu Guinan, who was completely unguarded at the moment.

Whether it was a lapse in the blue team's defense or excellent execution of the receivers' route-running, compared to the other tightly-covered receivers, Wu Guinan was in a very safe position.

Shoosh!

So the red team captain gave a mighty swing and threw the ball.

With his great arm strength, the spiraling rugby ball drew a perfect parabola, descending towards the open space in front of Wu Guinan.

"Perfect!"

Wu Guinan looked up at the incoming rugby ball with a somewhat excited expression.

This long pass spanned at least over 40 meters.

This meant that as long as he caught it, the front line would advance at least 40 meters this round.

Meanwhile, tracking the trajectory of the rugby ball, he quickly glanced ahead, finding no one in sight.

He might even catch the ball and charge directly into the scoring area for a touchdown, which would make him a hero for the red team!

With this mindset, Wu Guinan used [Sprint] as a boost and jumped high.

Seeing the rugby ball about to land in his hands.

But just when he almost touched the ball mid-air...

[Grass!]

A shout came from below.

At the same time, a green figure burst forth!

"Eh?!"

Wu Guinan looked and his eyes immediately widened.

Why is the scarecrow here!

It must be said that the timing of the scarecrow's leap was perfectly timed.

Before the ball is touched, the defensive side cannot directly block the receiver himself.

But right at that moment when Wu Guinan touched the ball mid-air...

Puff!

The next second, he nearly spat out blood.

Because the scarecrow's waist tackle hit his abdomen like a cannonball.

(What on earth is this!)

(Li Pu must have fouled!)

(No, just hold the ball and score first!)

Several thoughts flashed through Wu Guinan's mind in an instant.

The most important of which was, no matter what, to hold the ball and touch down.

To hold the ball and touch down refers to a player on the field touching the ground with the ball.

Only when the offensive player holds the ball and touches the ground does the progressed distance count.

If the defensive player grabbed the ball and touched down first, or the defensive player didn't catch the pass and the ball fell to the ground, then the offensive progression that round is considered zero.

But some things are just wishful thinking.

Feeling like his waist was about to break, Wu Guinan couldn't hold onto the ball at all.

During the scarecrow's mid-air tackle, the rugby ball had already slipped from his hands.

Failed to catch, and the progression distance this attack round is zero.

Bang!

Followed by the two of them crashing to the grass.

Moreover, that damned scarecrow was using him as a cushion!

Causing Wu Guinan to suffer a secondary collision, making him grimace in pain.

Though the grass is soft, he felt for some reason that the scarecrow was peculiarly heavy today.

"T-Teacher! That's a foul!"

Lying on the ground, unable to get up from the pain, Wu Guinan struggled to point at the scarecrow.

The scarecrow, using its natural camouflage, lay in wait on the field, launching a surprise interception.

This clearly fell into the category of summoned beasts actively interfering in the game, much more severe than him hiding a Turtwig!

However, the scarecrow paid no attention to the accusation, calmly stood up, looking down at Wu Guinan. Then, an astonishing scene took place.

[Grass!]

The scarecrow reached out and pulled its grass head apart to the sides.

And then, revealed from within the grass head was Li Pu!

"Foul, what foul?"

"I felt a bit chilly, what's wrong with draping my summoned beast over myself?"

Dressed in a ghillie suit, Li Pu appeared innocent and composed.

To reiterate, he is a very team-oriented... forget it.

This must have thoroughly avenged the earlier grudge, truly satisfying.
