Chapter 107: Wave Ball Lotus!

~9 min read 1,679 words

Boom!

"Game, Hexagon Middle School Hei Yu Chunfeng, Tian Gen Guang, 1-0!"

"Switch courts~"

Snap!

"Today really went smoothly, Tian Gen!"

Having secured a game, the two from Hexagon clapped in celebration; if they keep playing like this, they can win both doubles matches, and the upcoming singles can just be left to Zuo Bi.

But as the two passed the coach's chair by the court, their thin father's trembling finger pointed at Tian Gen Guang's hair.

"Why is your hair messy~"

The sudden remark interrupted their joy; Hei Yu looked up at Tian Gen Guang's orange‑red hair.

"Really… messy!"

He felt an instant shock in his heart.

It should be noted that before every match, Tian Gen Guang meticulously fixes his hairstyle with hair wax, so even the fiercest matches leave his hair unchanged from before.

Yet after just one game, his hairstyle could already not hold.

Hei Yu was horrified.

Is Budongfeng's Wave Ball really that hard to counter?

Instinctively, he turned his head toward Shenwei Ming and Shitian Tie.

Both wore relaxed expressions; despite being at a disadvantage, they showed no sign of discouragement.

In the next instant, Hei Yu Chunfeng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Shenwei Ming and Shitian Tie calmly removed their jackets and handed them to team manager Ju Xing, who cradled them.

Then they slowly shed their weighted gear—Shenwei Ming's weighted wristband and Shitian Tie's weighted vest—dropping them to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"No way?"

Hei Yu felt a sinking in his heart, his face full of disbelief.

"Are these two guys monsters!"

The match continued, with Budongfeng serving.

At the baseline.

His gaze swept over the opponents; Shitian Tie shouted before serving.

"You're right; regardless of who wins or loses, this match must be without regret!"

He finished speaking.

He bent down, lightly tapped the tennis ball; the arm holding the racket bulged with massive muscle. Facing an opponent capable of directly returning a Wave Ball, his fierce desire to win surged from his body, a flash of steel in his eyes.

"Watch mine."

Wave serve!

Shitian Tie's massive frame lowered, his movement steady as Mount Tai; the tennis ball silently left his palm, and his body then sprang up forcefully.

Boom!

The racket, as heavy as a thousand pounds, cracked loudly; the tennis ball instantly burst into a fierce Wave beam, charging toward Tian Gen Guang with astonishing momentum.

"A serve‑type Wave Ball?!"

Hei Yu's eyes widened; this was more than three times stronger than any Wave Ball he had seen before.

"Can Tian Gen handle it?"

Tap tap

He shifted his foot slightly; Tian Gen Guang turned his body, drawing his ultra‑long wooden racket back, ready to strike.

Bang!

It hit the ground with a dull thud, and the tennis ball explosively burst upward!

Whoosh—

The long‑handled wooden racket sliced the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, colliding heavily with the tennis ball; the even greater force traveled up the racket into his arm.

Tian Gen Guang's body trembled instantly, and he shouted in his heart.

"After the match, I'm going to eat a super‑fancy strawberry chocolate sundae!"

Boom!

Gathering all his strength, he smashed the tennis ball back powerfully.

"That was close."

Hei Yu let out a long sigh; Shitian Tie's sudden burst had indeed startled him.

Whoosh whoosh!

The returning tennis ball whizzed past Shenwei Ming's side, yet he showed no intention of intercepting it.

Thud.

The instant the ball hit the ground, Shitian Tie's figure suddenly appeared in front of its bounce, his face wearing a very satisfied grin.

"If you can return my Wave Ball serve, you deserve my full force!"

His left foot thrust forward forcefully; the white headscarf's tail fluttered with the sudden gust, Shitian Tie's gaze turned sharply terrifying, his thick black eyebrows standing out starkly on his face.

"Wave Ball Lotus!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a low roar from Shitian Tie, the tennis ball burst with golden light, blasting outward.

Unlike ordinary Wave Balls, this one, under his deliberate manipulation, spun with a regular side‑rotation, whipping up a spiral airflow above the net that pierced the entire court.

"Let me!"

Feeling the pressure bearing down on him, Heavenroot Light stepped forward, because only he had a chance to successfully return this ball.

When running, he tightly gripped the long-handled wooden racket in his hand.

The reason he could easily return the wave ball before was largely due to this specially made racket.

Although using a long-handled racket is extremely difficult, it not only requires tremendous wrist strength but also forces a change in the usual striking position.

But once he becomes familiar with this racket, he can catch returns he previously couldn't reach, and by using the racket's inertia, he can also counter powerful force‑type attacks.

Yet this time, facing the terrifying ball before him, Heavenroot Light suddenly lost confidence.

Swish!

He turned his body sideways, raised both rackets high, eyes fixed on the piercing spiral beam, the terrifying air pressure seemed to press against his face.

"Ha!"

Against the oncoming gust, he let out a low roar, summoned all his muscles, and swung the racket outward.

Boom!

A violent explosion echoed over the court.

A wooden racket flew high into the air, its central strings appearing to have snapped.

"Budongfeng scores, 15‑0."

Heavenroot Light stood dumbfounded, his hands gripping the racket trembling uncontrollably, his desperate resistance could not hold even a moment.

"What terrifying explosive power—Budongfeng Middle School Shitian Tie; he must be the strongest force‑type player in this Kanto Competition."

Zuobo slowly withdrew his smile, his expression becoming very solemn.

The ball's power was so great that even Heavenroot Light, who could wield the ultra‑long racket with ease, could not return it, and everyone in the arena widened their eyes just like Zuobo.

"Did Shitian learn a lot of extraordinary things from Coach Xiaoliu?"

Jiecheng Wu watched Shitian Tie on the court, and felt increasingly that introducing him to Xiaoliu Longping had been the right move.

Under Xiaoliu Longping's guidance, Shitian Tie no longer confined himself to the original framework of the wave ball, and began gradually filling it with his own elements.

He was slowly approaching the level where Shitian Yin stood.

Perhaps at the National Competition, Shitian might truly have a chance to directly defeat his older brother Shitian Yin.

Boom!

The wave serve directly smashed Black Feather's racket.

"30‑0!"

Boom!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming, Shitian Tie, 1‑1!"

Boom!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming, Shitian Tie, 2‑1!"

Boom!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming, Shitian Tie, 4‑1!"

Just Shitian Tie alone launched a relentless barrage against the two Hexagon players, and Shenwei Ming, aside from serving and receiving, barely did anything else.

And because the Wave Ball Lotus only adds a special guide to the original wave ball, concentrating its power, its damage to the arm is not much different from a regular wave ball.

Shitian Tie produced two Wave Ball Lotus in almost every game.

After a whole match, he still appeared very relaxed.

Boom!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming, Shitian Tie, 6‑1!"

"The match ended, Budongfeng Middle School won, total score 1‑1!"

"Ju, get ready to announce your arrival to the others."

He lightly tapped his finger, Jiecheng Wu said calmly; when he placed Ju Jiping into the third singles slot, the outcome of the match was already certain.

"Leave it to me with confidence!"

Ju Jiping gave a bright smile, his aura constantly surging, yet he gently folded his black coat and handed it to Ju Xing.

This must be what they call having a tiger in the heart while gently smelling roses.

On the other side.

The Ice Emperor and Seigaku's first doubles match had also reached match point.

The drowsy Jiechuan Cilang, after Juwan displayed a special shot, instantly woke up and executed a net cut even more skillful than Juwan's.

The flexible, supple wrist gave him the ability to direct the tennis ball to any position, making it hard to react.

Ren Zu You Shi's expression was as cold as ice, his gaze as still as an ancient well, as if his heart were completely sealed.

Dashi could not glean any useful information from him, and therefore could not give Juwan correct instructions; the normal match fell into a disadvantage.

The Ice Emperor's pairing was flawless, with no weakness at all.

Bang!

A sharp streak of light flashed past Dashi's feet.

"Game, Ice Emperor Academy, Ninzu Brothers, 6‑1!"

"Bing Di Xue Yuan wins, total score 2‑0!"

The referee's voice rang out.

"Your turn," Jibu said, his tone unwavering, clearly confident in the man beside him.

Bu Er Zhou Zhu has strong potential, no doubt, but in front of the nationally active masters, he is merely a prodigy.

"Don't worry."

The hooded man replied softly, then a tall figure stepped out from the ranks.

Ren Zu You Shi crossed paths with him off-court, his gaze following the opponent's steps, his mind on high alert; ever since this guy came to Ice Emperor, the position of Ice Emperor's second-in-command has been vacant.

No

Not just the number two.

Before this guy and Ji Bu Jingwu truly clash, how Ice Emperor's number one and number two should be ranked remains to be decided.

After he returned to the team.

The referees' announcements rang out simultaneously in the broadcasts of both courts.

「The singles three match will now begin, with Ju Jiping of Budongfeng Middle School facing Saeki Kojiro of Six Corner Middle School! 」

「The singles three match will now begin, with Qiansui Qianli of Bing Di Xue Yuan facing Bu Er Zhou Zhu of Youth Academy! 」

Jiecheng Wu/Ji Bu Jingwu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the corners of their mouths bore a hint of confident smile.

「Let's properly witness the strength of the Kyushu Twin Heroes! 」*2

Chapter three failed, but we managed to keep two chapters.

The new member of Ice Emperor is Qiansui Qianli; actually it's pretty easy to guess, haha, seems someone guessed right.

Qiansui Qianli is 194 cm tall, his stature is indeed tall.
