Chapter 167

Boom!

A violent wave of air rippled across the court as Shitian Tie continued to launch the offensive of Hadoukyuu: Barrage through his service game.

One Hadoukyuu after another was hit continuously by Shitian Tie, and the accumulated momentum was somewhat frightening.

Roar!

"Hadoukyuu: Lotus!"

With another roar, Shitian Tie's arm turned slightly red; using the Hadoukyuu so many times in a row was no small burden for him now.

But Shitian Tie had no choice; if he didn't use the continuous Hadoukyuu to pin the opponent down, the match would eventually be ended by Akutsu's unpredictable style.

Boom!

Akutsu's racket shook as a massive force was transmitted through it, causing the racket to break free from his five-finger grip, and with a clatter, the tennis racket fell to the ground.

"Shitian Tie scores, 40-0!"

Whoosh.

The tennis ball slammed down and bounced off the court; Kamio Akira turned his head to look at the score on the scoreboard.

"3-1."

Shitian Tie held his breath, curled his arm around the racket, and swung with great force from top to bottom.

Seeing Ishida's stance, the eyes of everyone on the sidelines lit up; if he won this point, Ishida could take another game and narrow the score.

Boom!

With a loud roar, Shitian Tie was like a giant wild elephant, his hoof-prints trampling the earth as his whistling racket fiercely smashed the tennis ball back.

Just now, Ishida had successfully defended his service game by using Hadoukyuu: Barrage in succession.

This was his only possible chance to win.

Sure enough.

"Well hit!"

Although his arm muscles were slightly sore due to the excessive use of the Hadoukyuu, the power of this Hadoukyuu did not diminish in the slightest, accurately attacking the outer corner of the receiving area.

Boom!

"Serve Style: Hadoukyuu!"

However, when it was Akutsu's service game, Ishida had no first-serve advantage and found it difficult to launch Hadoukyuu: Barrage again against the beast-like, agile Akutsu, so in the blink of an eye, he lost another game.

Tap, tap, tap!

His feet were like thunder; Akutsu leaped a few times, reached the left outer corner, pulled his racket from the outside of his body, and hit a violent lift-smash.

"Hadoukyuu: Double Strike!"

Standing straight, Kamio Akira looked at Ishida's arm, a flash of worry in his dark eyes.

Shitian Tie let out a stern roar, gripped his racket tightly with his broad palm, and his burly body had already blocked the path of the flying tennis ball.

However, Kamio Akira and Ibu Shinji in the crowd had grave expressions.

"He's going to launch the Hadoukyuu: Barrage offensive again."

Akutsu returned to the center of the court with a cold expression, waving his racket to intercept the tennis ball; the violent vibrations tore at the racket, and the powerful force was transmitted to his arm.

Boom!

Pressing his racket forward, the tennis ball flew back with a reverse spin.

He knew very well that if Ishida wanted to win the match, he had to use the threat of Hadoukyuu: Barrage to hold his service game and prevent the score from widening further.

It's just that...

Can Ishida really last the entire match?

"Such behavior is just courting his own destruction."

Tap, tap!

Stomping his feet on the ground, Shitian Tie's eyes turned blood-red.

To return that Hadoukyuu just now, Akutsu would inevitably have a momentary stiffness, and to catch the next Hadoukyuu, the opponent would have to spend more time preparing in advance.

This was the open conspiracy of Hadoukyuu: Barrage, a tactic specifically developed by Shitian Tie to target speed-type opponents.

Boom!

Holding the racket with both hands, he smashed it backhand; Ishida felt his arm shake slightly, and some of the vibrations on the tennis ball dissipated. He gritted his teeth to steady the racket, only then successfully hitting the third strike of the Hadoukyuu.

However, when his gaze swept across the opposite half of the court, he found that Akutsu, who should have been in place preparing to return the Hadoukyuu, had already disappeared.

"How could he...?"

Swish!

A figure like a lone wolf suddenly rose straight up in front of the net, hands and feet hanging vertically, a smile that made one's heart chill appearing on his pale face.

"Heh heh, do you think such a move can be used forever?"

When Akutsu jumped up, the yellow beam of light happened to fly over the net; his muscles tightened, and he twisted his stretched body instantly, smashing at the tennis ball in a posture that defied common sense.

Whoosh~

In mid-air, the violent and heavy force sent Akutsu flying backward a short distance.

But it was this short distance that exhausted the power of the Hadoukyuu; even though Akutsu was swinging the racket with one hand, he easily hit the tennis ball back.

Pfft!

A cloud of dust stirred up at Shitian Tie's feet, and the tennis ball had already sunk into the mesh of the wire fence behind him.

"Akutsu..."

Ibu Shinji's pupils suddenly shrank, and he whispered to himself.

Possessing the perspective of the Hawk's Eye, he could see that scene more clearly than others, and naturally understood the terror of Akutsu better, so a look of shock couldn't help but appear on his face.

Not only was his nerve reflex ability amazing, but the flexibility of his body muscles was also terrifyingly strong, which was why Akutsu could almost ignore the stiffness caused by returning the Hadoukyuu.

In an instant, he could go from a return state to an attack mode.

"Ishida is going to lose."

Boom!

With his silver-white hair swaying, Akutsu chased after the tennis ball attacked by Shitian Tie in mid-air, pulled it backhand, and a wave of air was thus smashed back by him.

"Akutsu wins this game, 4-1!"

Boom!

"Akutsu wins this game, 5-1!"

The last ball!

Akutsu's body instantly stretched out in front of the net, his arm swung out in a limit state, and the racket completely enveloped the tennis ball.

Boom!

A shocking explosion echoed on the court; Shitian Tie rushed forward desperately, but even though he stretched his racket to the furthest point, he still watched helplessly as the tennis ball sped past the tip of his racket.

"Akutsu wins this game, score... 6-1!"

Heping Minchun reported the score with his jaw dropped; in his eyes, Akutsu had simply turned into a monster on the court.

"Ishida also lost; this guy actually defeated two regulars all by himself."

"It doesn't matter, we still have Shinji; Shinji can't possibly lose!"

"But even if Shinji wins, this is a three-on-one wheel battle; if it gets out, Budongfeng's reputation won't sound good either."

"Not at all, it was clearly this guy who came to provoke us himself; he deserves it!"

Looking at Akutsu, who was arrogant on the court, the people off the court discussed it heatedly, but even though the opponent had already won against Kamio Akira and Shitian Tie, everyone didn't think he could beat Shinji.

After all, in the Budongfeng Tennis Club, besides Yuuki Satoru and Ju Juping, Ibu Shinji was the number one!

And during the training camp, the match between Shinji and Bing Di's Oshitari was already deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts; that level of strength was top-tier even in the National Competition, how could he not be better than that guy?

Ibu Shinji's eyes moved slightly, hearing the discussions of the people around him, but he did not refute.

This was everyone's thought, and it was also his own true thought.

There is an invisible barrier between doubles and singles.

Although Kamio and Ishida's strength was not bad, even if only counting singles strength, they definitely belonged to veteran Guan Dong-level players.

It's just that they had long been accustomed to the rhythm of doubles matches, accustomed to having someone by their side to make up for their own shortcomings.

And in singles matches, this habit would become a flaw.

Therefore, in Ibu Shinji's view, they both made some unnecessary mistakes in the match just now.

Similarly, Akutsu, who defeated the two, certainly had remarkable strength; whether it was power, speed, jumping ability, explosive power, or the flexibility of his body muscles, the opponent was at a top-tier level.

But Ibu Shinji could see at a glance that Akutsu was completely relying on his body to play tennis; his technique was simply too poor, so poor that it was only slightly better than the level of the second team.

He had a superior body but lacked the matching tennis technique.

Such an existence, in front of him who had successfully entered the national realm, would have no possibility of winning.

"Who's next?"

Akutsu wiped his hair back with one hand, setting his somewhat messy hairstyle back up, his expression fierce; as he won two games in a row, the dangerous aura on his body became increasingly thick.

Under his fierce and arrogant appearance, he actually felt very satisfied inside.

Whether it was Kamio Akira or Shitian Tie.

Although they were both easily defeated by him, the tennis of these two kids could still be considered interesting, and the way they fought desperately also made him feel not so bored.

However, his purpose for this trip was not just this...

"Tch! Is there no one in Budongfeng who can play?"

His perverse eyes swept across the audience, and Akutsu spat toward his side; his extremely arrogant tone pushed the anger of the Budongfeng crowd to the max.

"Shinji..."

Everyone cast their eyes on Ibu Shinji in unison; now only Shinji could deal with this guy!

"You must give this guy a good look!"

"Shinji, teach him a lesson!"

The crowd cleared a path, and after taking his spare racket out of his backpack, Ibu Shinji walked out of the crowd, ready to step onto the court, his cold gaze sweeping over Akutsu.

"The dignity of Budongfeng cannot be offended!"

Seeing this kid who borrowed his racket walk onto the court, Akutsu gave a ferocious smile.

"Heh heh, no matter who it is, the result is the same."

And at this moment.

Not far outside the court, two figures walked into the court gate and headed this way.

"Shinji, step down!"
