Chapter 35

"Jingshang Senior, Qingxue's match hasn't ended yet, which team are we going to interview?"

Zhi Sha Zhi asks Jingshang Shou who is rushing on the road.

Although she hasn't taken photos of Bu Er's match, as a newly hired intern reporter, she still closely follows Jingshang Shou's pace.

"Sha Zhi, we need to hurry to... *huff*... the match venue of Budongfeng."

Reaching middle age, his physical strength is far inferior to when he was young. Jingshang Shou is in a hurry, even speaking with heavy gasps.

"Budongfeng?" Zhi Sha Zhi shows confusion.

This school sparked heated discussions last year and is indeed worth reporting.

But before coming to the venue, didn't Jingshang Senior say not to interview Budongfeng? Why did he change his mind temporarily?

"A friend of mine is a referee in this competition, and he just sent news that Budongfeng has already defeated Jinsongchuan Middle School and Shadeng Second Middle School in succession."

"And now, Budongfeng is competing with Qiushan Middle School." Jingshang Shou explains hurriedly.

"I remember Shadeng Second Middle School is the third seed school, right." Zhi Sha Zhi is suddenly a bit surprised; she had done research in advance.

Besides Qingxue and Qiushan, Shadeng Second is the team with the strongest comprehensive strength in the vicinity; how could they be defeated by Budongfeng?

"Budongfeng really won?" She still finds it hard to believe.

But regarding this, Jingshang Shou nods affirmatively, his eyes full of shock.

The two talk while walking, and when they arrive at the match venue, the two doubles matches have already ended, and the Singles No. 3 match is being held on the court.

"Budongfeng Middle School Shitian Tie VS Qiushan Middle School Jiugui Guiyi."

"One set decides the winner!"

"Qiushan Middle School's Jiugui Guiyi serves!"

As the referee's voice falls, the players from both sides walk onto the court.

"Qiushan Middle School, the second seed school, has had many practice matches with Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School of Kanagawa, with good comprehensive strength."

Jingshang Shou thinks while looking at Jiugui Guiyi's figure.

Normally, Qiushan Middle School's winning percentage should be very high, but Jingshang Shou notices that their players' bench is silent, and the air pressure is low.

After a long time, only a few scattered cheers sound.

"Jingshang Senior, look at the scores of the first two matches." Zhi Sha Zhi points to the scoreboard, her mouth slightly open in surprise.

Jingshang Shou hears the sound and looks over, his pupils suddenly shrink, and his gaze trembles.

"Doubles No. 2, Budongfeng Neicun Jingjie, Sen Chende win, score 6-0."

"Doubles No. 1, Budongfeng Heping Minchun, Yingjing Ya win, score 6-0."

Two doubles matches won so easily?!

Bang!

Before he can calm the emotions in his heart, a loud explosion suddenly comes from the court.

Jingshang Shou hurriedly looks at the court.

Qiushan Middle School's main player, Jiugui Guiyi, is kneeling on one knee on the ground, looking up at Shitian Tie, his eyes full of horror, and the racket in his hand has long flown to who knows where.

"Game, Budongfeng Shitian Tie, 1-0!"

"Sha Zhi, hurry and give me the camera." Jingshang Shou says to Zhi Sha Zhi who is a bit stunned.

"Okay, Jingshang Senior."

Click! Click!

Jingshang Shou takes several photos in a row; in the photos, Shitian Tie is full of momentum, his eyes sharp.

And Jingshang Shou doesn't let go of the other members on the players' bench either.

But in the photos, every one of them appears calm and composed, seemingly not worried about the outcome of this match at all.

Their eyes are bright and firm, and their whole bodies radiate confidence; invisibly, an indescribable aura forms around Budongfeng.

As a senior tennis reporter, Jingshang Shou has seen similar auras too many times.

For example, the national champion and runner-up schools last year, Rikkai University with the style of a king, and Shishile Junior High School showing the style of a hegemon.

It can be said that every strong team has its own unique aura, but Jingshang Shou didn't expect that he would faintly see such a strong team aura on Budongfeng.

Is this really the Budongfeng Middle School from the report last year?!

"Bang!"

"Match over, Budongfeng Shitian Tie wins, score 6-0!"

From the start to the end of the match, it took less than fifteen minutes; Shitian Tie won easily with an almost crushing posture.

"Well played, Shitian!"

Shenwei Ming high-fives Shitian Tie who is walking off the court to celebrate; defeating Qiushan Middle School means that Budongfeng has already obtained the qualification to advance to the National Tournament.

Click!

"Budongfeng..."

Taking the last photo of the players from both sides shaking hands at the net, a strange look appears in Jingshang Shou's eyes.

"Sha Zhi, the following finals will be worth watching."

Not long after, Qingxue also successfully defeated Shuiyuan Middle School and successfully advanced to the next round.

And Jiecheng Wu also returned to the Budongfeng team.

"As long as we play in this state, the championship of the regional preliminaries will soon be in our hands."

Shenwei Ming stretches his waist; to be honest, the previous matches were far less intense than imagined.

"Shenwei, Qingxue made it to the Kanto Tournament last year, don't be too careless." Shitian Tie shakes his head to avoid the arm stretched out by Shenwei Ming, his tone cautious.

Yingjing Ya and Heping Minchun also nod in agreement on the side.

Although they are very confident in their own strength, since the opponent is a team that has participated in the Kanto Tournament, no amount of attention is too much.

"Made it to the Kanto Tournament..." Yiwu Shen Si, who has been silent, suddenly shows a different color in his eyes and says.

"Like this, isn't it better?"

Once these words are spoken, the slightly low atmosphere within the team suddenly becomes heated.

"Shen Si is right, the opponent is strong enough, only by defeating them does it have meaning!"

Neicun Jingjie says excitedly with his fists clenched, and Sen Chende also nods silently behind him; although he looks dull, he is actually also very eager to fight against strong enemies.

Jiecheng Wu takes in everyone's performance and then walks up.

"We will have the finals with Qingxue in the afternoon; the opponent is indeed a school worth paying attention to, but...

I believe that everyone who has experienced so much hard training will definitely not lose to anyone.

So, just go all out!"

"Budongfeng's path starts from winning the regional championship!"

"Yes!"

Everyone raises their fists and shouts.

Qingxue players' bench.

Looking at Budongfeng's previous match records, Coach Ryuzaki's expression is a bit heavy.

"Budongfeng actually defeated Qiushan Middle School with three straight wins."

The current captain Qing Tian Bang Nan also feels heavy in his heart; Qingxue and Qiushan Middle School have clashed for many years, and he knows the opponent's strength very well.

Qingxue's doubles are still a bit lacking, Coach Ryuzaki sighs inwardly.

After pondering for a moment, she slowly speaks.

"Bu Er and Xitian Yizhi will play in Doubles No. 2, Oishi and Dazhong Yongtai will play in Doubles No. 1."

Hearing this, Tezuka on the side pushes the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes a bit stunned, opening his mouth to speak.

"Yes, Coach Ryuzaki."

But before Tezuka can speak, Qing Tian Bang Nan nods in agreement, and the two of them set the doubles lineup just like that.

"As for the singles players..."

Thanks to Yinwuxiangzi for the 1700 book coin reward.
