"Huff huff... this kind of shot..."

Oshitari Kenya panted and opened his eyes wide; the speed of the tennis ball was as fast as the sound, was such a thing possible?

He looked at Shenwei Ming on the opposite side in shock, unable to help but take a step back.

Konjiki Koharu outside the court was puzzled; although the speed of that ball just now was very fast, why hadn't Kenya even swung his racket, given his reaction?

"It should be the influence of mental power."

Hara Tetsuya frowned and pondered for a while, recalling Oshitari Kenya's reaction just now, as well as the changes in Shenwei Ming's aura when hitting the ball, and made a guess in his heart.

As for the real reason, it was actually not much different from what he guessed.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the railing, Jiecheng Wu held good expectations for the new move Shenwei Ming had developed; although he hadn't yet entered the second stage of Wildness, Shenwei Ming was already able to simply utilize a bit of Wildness deterrence.

Combining the even more powerful Sonic Bullet with the ability of Wildness, making Oshitari Kenya, who was trapped in the fast-slow rhythm trap, have the illusion that the tennis ball and the sound were synchronized, virtually constructing a supersonic tennis ball, making him unable to respond normally to Shenwei's offensive.

This was the truth of Sonic Bullet·Supersonic.

"Must finish the battle quickly, and... this game absolutely cannot be lost!"

"Shenwei, I'll leave the rest to you."

Oshitari Kenya nodded forcefully, saying nothing more, his face appearing somewhat gloomy.

"Kenya, you keep an eye on Shenwei Ming."

And if Budongfeng gained the service, Shitian Tie would also do his best to assist Shenwei Ming, letting the match enter the speed confrontation phase, ending the game with the supersonic tennis ball.

"Please exchange courts."

"Mm."

"Next is my turn! Haa!!"

"Wait... it's Shitian Tie!"

It was just that Shenwei Ming's Wildness and mental power were still too weak, only able to influence one person; others naturally couldn't understand Oshitari Kenya's feelings.

"Wave Ball Lotus!"

The tennis ball was blasted back by him.

From some unknown time, this match had already completely revolved around Ishida Gin and Shenwei Ming as the center of the struggle.

Shitian Tie stepped forward, and after distinguishing the ball path, stood sideways, his knees slightly bent, his body sinking while raising his racket backward.

"Watch me!"

Just as the terrifying Wave Ball was about to approach Shenwei Ming, a sturdy figure appeared in front of him.

Shitian Tie's deep voice rang out on the court; he was seen crossing his hands in front of his chest, his eyes instantly turning crimson, and he shouted with a ferocious expression.

Completely different from the previous returns, this time a touch of determination emerged in his expression; he had been silent for so long precisely for this very moment!

"Little brother Ishida... how much power can you actually exert with what I gave you?"

Bang!

A terrifying yellow wave whistled over the court once again.

Following that!

Bang!

A single-legged hop, utilizing the change in center of gravity, he held the racket with both hands and slammed the tennis ball down fiercely!

And looking at the direction of the ball path, the Wave Ball was clearly attacking toward Shenwei Ming; this was Ishida Gin's plan—with Shenwei Ming's strength, he could only give up on this ball.

Bang!

A fierce air wave rose on the court; in order to end the match as quickly as possible, the power of Ishida Gin's Wave serve had already been adjusted to the maximum, and Shitian Tie placed both hands on the racket and swung with force.

Just when the crowd outside the court also thought that the fate of this point would be the same as before.

Approaching the end of the game, the people from Budongfeng and Shitenhoji simultaneously had such thoughts in their hearts.

However, when the service came to Ishida Gin's hand, the situation of the match reversed once again.

This match was just that extreme.

Shenwei Ming simply couldn't contend with his fierce and terrifying Wave Ball offensive, and Shitian Tie hadn't fully recovered, so the score was quickly turned around by the opponent.

Bang!

The terrifying waves stirred up a huge air current, blowing Shenwei Ming's collar until it fluttered; he tried to return it, but the moment his racket touched the tennis ball, it collapsed in one touch and flew high away.

It was precisely because he hadn't found a way to deal with Shenwei Ming that the situation had become so passive, and besides, for A-Gin to say such things proved that he was also reaching his limit.

Huff.

Ishida Gin let out a heavy breath, gripped the handle of the racket tightly, and ferocious veins jumped on the back of his hand; even for him, after using the Wave Ball so many times, his arm was already reaching its limit.

Bang!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shitian Tie, Shenwei Ming, 3-2!"

"It's not over yet!" Ishida Gin shouted with angry eyes, his sturdy body arriving at midcourt, his hulking appearance bringing a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Now, whoever can seize the opportunity from the opponent's service game will win the victory of this match."

How many games had it been...

Glancing over the scoreboard, it clearly read 6-5, with Budongfeng leading by one game.

Whenever it was Shitenhoji's service game, they would do their best to lead the match rhythm into a power struggle, with Ishida Gin taking the lead to score points.

A huge pressure suddenly pressed down on his chest.

"Game, Shitenhoji Ishida Gin, Oshitari Kenya, 2-2!"

Between strength and speed, the outcome had already been decided; now it was a contest between absolute strength and absolute speed.

Creak

Opening his thick palms, the pale yellow tennis ball appeared a size smaller in them; Shitian Tie took a step back with his right foot and raised his arm upward.

"Wave Ball, twenty-eighth style!"

An air wave reversed.

On the high platform, Xiao Liu Longping, dressed in casual clothes, stood among the spectators; in order to fulfill Shitian Tie's invitation, he had specially not worn that green bodysuit this time, but his thick eyebrows and that black mushroom cut were still conspicuous.

At this moment, watching Shitian Tie's stance, his gaze was filled with expectant brilliance.

"Those guys only know how to use strength to burst their own clothes; it's crude and vulgar, simply a waste of youth."

"Only through self-disciplined training, constantly polishing a strong physique with the sweat of youth, can one have the chance to give birth to the power of blood and energy that represents youth, and erupt with power that exceeds the limits of the body."

"This is the true path to the future; just wait and see, you are all wrong..."

"The Wildness instinct has concentrated the body's strength into one point." Ju Juping's gaze moved, keenly noticing Shitian Tie's abnormality.

"Such a move can only be used once."

On the side, Jiecheng Wu said softly; naturally, it was with his permission that Coach Xiao Liu could teach this move to Ishida.

After all, only under the subtle control of the Eye of the Heavenly Emperor could Ishida exert the self-discipline training method to its maximum effect while minimizing damage to his body.

"Ishida, let everyone see the tennis that belongs to you!"

Hum~~

Suddenly!

A burst of blood-colored steam dyed Shitian Tie completely crimson, and accompanied by the aura of Wildness, a terrifying momentum immediately appeared on the court.

In front of this power, the momentum brought by the twenty-eighth style of Wave Ball was no longer worth mentioning.

"A-Tetsu... you are!"

Ishida Gin's eyes suddenly widened; even he felt an incomparable heart-palpitation from such momentum.

His white headband fluttered, Shitian Tie's eyes were splitting, his blood-red eyes could no longer see anything else; at this moment, his brain was a blank, with only the tennis ball in front of him.

Boom!

Completely blood-red, at this moment, the muscles in his arm twisted and turned like a ferocious dragon; after completely releasing his body's restrictions, the racket held in both hands smashed from his side toward the Wave Ball like lightning.

"Big brother, this is my strongest tennis, please... evaluate it——!!"

Bang——!!

Watching this scene, the crowd on the sidelines was dumbfounded; Shitian Tie's body vibrated, the ground beneath his feet seemed to vibrate as well, and the huge boom made the ears of the spectators on the sidelines ring.

"——Haa... Wave Ball... Evening Elephant!!!"

The racket suddenly bloomed with a crimson beam of light, the space between Shitian Tie and Ishida Gin seemed to be compressed, and in just an instant, the tennis ball had already arrived on the opposite side.

Moo——

A cry from an ancient, desolate giant elephant resounded through the court.

"This is..."

Ishida Gin was furious; he felt as if he had been completely locked on, totally unable to avoid this ball, but under the huge crisis, what he was angry about was that he had actually had the thought of dodging.

"A-Tetsu!!!"

Veins meandered on his round head, Ishida Gin's ferocity was completely ignited; ignoring the frantic warnings of his intuition, he slammed his thick arms with all his might toward the crimson beam of light.

"One hundred and eighth style Wave Ball!"

Bang!

As if a terrifying typhoon were sweeping the court, the violent wind and waves instantly blew the dust into the sky over the entire court, and the spectators' vision was completely blocked.

". What astonishing power!!"

The Shitenhoji team revealed shocked expressions one after another; Shitian Tie, who had been suppressed by A-Gin the whole time, could actually erupt with such terrifying power.

And, the timing of this ball was caught too well.

If A-Gin couldn't catch it, Budongfeng would have almost grasped the final victory.

However, at the same time, the Budongfeng team also looked at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Ishida is... what is this?"

Neicun Jingjie pointed at the court, stuttering and unable to speak; he had never seen a move with such terrifying power, that red steam, the ball path trajectory like an elephant's foot.

If it were himself on the court receiving this ball...

"I would die, right?!"

Outside the court, his glasses slid down the bridge of his nose, Gan Zhen Zhi was stunned for a moment, even stopping the motion of recording data in his notebook.

The others also had their mouths agape, their faces filled with terror.

"The, the final result, what is it?"

Kikumaru Eiji's voice trembled slightly, yet he refused to blink even once, attempting to see the scene inside through the smoke and dust.

A moment later, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Shitian Tie was half-kneeling, limp, with Shenwei Ming supporting him on the side; the two raised their heads, looking toward the opposite side with equally expectant gazes.

"Heh heh!"

A hulking figure walked out of the smoke and dust, his round, bald head appearing in everyone's sight first, his eyebrows raised in anger, his terrifying appearance making people feel a tremor of fear.

"Actually... is he alright?" Kikumaru Eiji said, revealing terror as if he had seen some kind of monster.

"After receiving such a terrifying ball, to actually be able to walk out unscathed, Budongfeng is probably going to be in trouble now."

However.

When the smoke and dust completely dissipated, Kikumaru Eiji immediately closed his mouth.

Because he saw a ferocious giant hole in the face of the racket in Ishida Gin's hand, and that hand gripping the racket tightly...

Drip, drip

A few drops of blood dripped onto the ground along the handle, and both arms were trembling uncontrollably.

No matter how one looked at it, it didn't look like he was unscathed.

"A-Tetsu, I lost." Ishida Gin stood at the net, let out a turbid breath, and said, lowering his eyes.

"Big brother..."

Supported by Shenwei Ming, Shitian Tie managed to stand up, looking at Ishida Gin's body, his emotions somewhat complex.

Did this count as... surpassing big brother?

"However, Shitenhoji will win this match!"

Ishida Gin turned around, his arms trembling; he had lost, but he still had the ability to continue the match, while A-Tetsu, he couldn't even stand steadily.

Next, it would be a two-on-one match.

"Sorry, A-Tetsu... for the sake of Shitenhoji."

"B, Budongfeng Middle School Shitian Tie scores, 0-15."

At this time, the referee finally collected his own emotional fluctuations; fortunately, the referee's chair was relatively high—if he were accidentally hit by this kind of tennis ball, his refereeing career would be over.

"Ishida, don't worry, isn't this the situation we already anticipated?"

Shenwei Ming helped Shitian Tie to the sidelines and said in as calm a tone as possible.

"But, one against two..."

"Don't worry~ even if we lose, isn't Vice-Captain Ju still there later." Seeing that Shitian Tie still had doubts, Shenwei Ming chuckled and waved his hand.

He knew Ishida wanted to continue playing, but Ishida's body had clearly reached its limit; if he squeezed himself again, it wouldn't be as simple as just being exhausted now.

"Just trust me, and besides..."

"No matter how amazing your big brother is, he can't continue to hit Wave Balls after receiving that ball."

"By the way, lend me your headband."

After settling Ishida, Shenwei Ming tucked his racket under his arm, turned, and walked onto the court, holding a white headband in his hand, which he slowly tied around his forehead.

As he took his steps, his gaze became increasingly firm and sharp.

"Match continues!"

Having confirmed the wishes of both sides, the referee announced the match would continue.

Ishida Gin stood slowly on the service line, the muscles in his arm twitching continuously; it looked like even swinging the racket was difficult, but if he stepped down, Shitenhoji would be declared defeated directly.

Bang!

The tennis ball dropped from his palm; now, Ishida Gin could only hit the most ordinary underhand serve, and after serving, he moved out of the way.

He was only responsible for serving; the real confrontation would be unfolded by Kenya and Shenwei.

Bang!

Bang!

At this moment, this doubles match finally evolved into a singles match; the outcome between Shenwei Ming and Oshitari Kenya would determine the final ownership of the victory.

But for Budongfeng, this confrontation had been in an absolute disadvantage from the very beginning.

Because when it was Shitian Tie's turn to receive the serve, Shitenhoji would directly gain a point.

For Budongfeng to win, Shenwei Ming absolutely could not lose the points when he was receiving the serve, so they could maintain a two-point gap and finally take this game to win the victory.

And if they lost one ball...

"Then they could only drag it out until Ishida Gin committed a double fault to create a two-point gap and win the match."

Jiecheng Wu whispered this incredibly difficult task, making the Budongfeng team break into a cold sweat for Shenwei.

"Shenwei, go for it!"

At this moment, Neicun Jingjie and the others all held their breath, secretly cheering for Shenwei Ming in their hearts; even the usually indifferent Yiwu Shen Si and Jile Jing Xing raised their cheering light boards.

Sonic Bullet·Supersonic!!!

Bang!

A pale red long line flashed across the court; Oshitari Kenya's movements paused, and the tennis ball flew past three centimeters in front of his racket.

"Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming scores, 0-30!"

Bang!

Ishida Gin served underhand, and it was Shitian Tie's turn to receive.

"Shitenhoji Ishida Gin scores, 15-30!"

"Absolutely must catch you!"

His feet moving continuously, Oshitari Kenya was already fired up; his clean, handsome face was now covered in dust and sweat, but he had no time to care about that.

Now the advantage was with them; as long as they won this game, the winning odds were with Shitenhoji!

However.

Bang!

A red line flew out rapidly; Oshitari Kenya tried his best to swing his racket, but still missed by a fraction.

"Damn it!"

"Budongfeng Middle School Shenwei Ming scores, 15-40!"

Bang!

"Shitenhoji Ishida Gin scores, 30-40!"

"Haa——!!"

Hot white air sprayed from his nasal cavity, Shenwei Ming gritted his teeth and sprinted on the court, constantly looking for opportunities to attack Oshitari Kenya's defense line; the white headband carried all of Shitian Tie's expectations.

Seeing the tennis ball galloping over, he used all his strength to swing his racket, letting out a roar.

"Roar, Shenwei!"

Bang——

The distorted tennis ball flashed across the court, sounding the final noise of the tennis ball touching the ground.

Patta patta

"It, it's over..."

His legs went soft, and Shenwei Ming knelt half-way on the ground.

Just when the Budongfeng team worriedly wanted to step forward, he raised his head, held his racket-wielding right hand high, his face filled with the joyful smile of victory.

"Won!!!"

Accompanied by Shenwei's loud shout, incomparably enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted in the venue.

"Oss! Budongfeng must win!"

"Shenwei must win! Ishida must win!"

The Budongfeng Middle School cheerleading squad, as well as the spectators supporting Budongfeng, all stood up and applauded sincerely.

This was a... wonderful match!

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School Shitian Tie, Shenwei Ming, 7-5!"

"Match over, Budongfeng Middle School wins, total score 3-1!"
