Chapter 59

Slap... slap... slap...

Atobe gently pressed the tennis ball, his peripheral vision scanning Tezuka Kunimitsu on the opposite side of the court, his eyes cold and heavy.

The tennis ball was thrown upward; before it fell, just as the tennis ball reached the high point, the racket in his hand pressed forward with his body, and swung heavily downward in the air.

Bang!

The tennis ball was extremely fast, just like a cannonball hitting the ground heavily.

"15-0!"

"What a fast serve!"

The referee's voice fell, causing a burst of exclamation from the spectators.

Jiecheng Wu narrowed his eyes; Atobe's serve is interesting. The height of the serve throw is lower than others, so the highest point of the throw is his hitting point.

This playing style can make the hitting timing more precise, and the less common hitting rhythm can also catch the opponent off guard.

It's just that for the player himself, a lower hitting point means insufficient energy storage and a shorter reaction time. However, Atobe possesses super insight different from ordinary people, so this time is completely enough.

It's a pity that in front of Tezuka, there is no second chance.

"Just a little trick; although it can't open up the situation, it's okay to let you have some fluctuations."

Atobe showed a light smile, his palm turned up and threw it up.

Bang!

The cannonball-like tennis ball shot out again.

Tezuka's expression remained the same, his expression like an iceberg; he stepped lightly on his toes, and before the tennis ball fell, his strong body cut into the inner line.

His wrist extended outward, the racket tilted and pressed down, exerting force suddenly, and he caught the ball steadily.

Bang!

With a large-angle inner arc, the tennis ball landed on the outer corner of the receiving area on the left.

"The arc is even more powerful than the snake ball."

Yushi Oshitari looked surprised, looking at the two on the court, and clenched his fists tightly; his proud move was actually used by them as a means of probing.

His shocked appearance made Tao Cheng Wu look sideways; such a poisonous snake is really rare.

"Tezuka, let me see more."

Atobe shouted coldly, his eyes looking a bit excited and agitated.

The reason he played in the semi-finals was to ensure Ice Emperor's smooth advancement, so that he could compete with Jiecheng Wu again.

It's just that he didn't expect to run into Tezuka Kunimitsu ahead of time, and the pressure he brought was not much weaker than Jiecheng Wu at that time.

Atobe walked quickly, and the moment the tennis ball landed, he pulled backhand.

Bang!

A stream of light pulled out diagonally toward the baseline; can it suck the ball back even at this angle...

Swish~

It didn't disappoint him; an invisible vortex seemed to appear around Tezuka, and the tennis ball that should have flown out of the court bent and shifted to the left after bouncing.

Bang!

The tennis ball flew back, hitting the ground sharply toward his feet.

"Ordinary returns don't work, so how about adding another layer of force!"

Tap tap.

Simple basic steps crossed and jumped, Atobe jumped behind him in two or three steps, his left foot landed and bent his knees, his right foot kicked on the ground to exert force, and he pressed down with both hands holding the racket.

Bang!

A fierce whistle passed over the net, emitting a strong aura.

"This is... center of gravity vertical jump playing method?!"

Tao Cheng Wu's eyes brightened suddenly; he had only seen the playing method of this move in a tennis magazine, but he had never been able to learn it.

But Atobe used it so easily.

A complex emotion appeared in his heart; he suddenly understood the feeling of the poisonous snake just now.

"Useless."

Jiecheng Wu said in a low voice; there are two ways to break the Tezuka Zone.

Either see through the spin Tezuka applied to the tennis ball and hit a reverse spin in the opposite direction to break it with technique; or have a decisive move to break the defense of the Tezuka Zone head-on with power.

What Atobe is trying now is the second method, but the power of the center of gravity vertical jump playing method is not enough to make Tezuka unable to bear it.

Soon.

The tennis ball was pulled back again.

Bang!

Bang!

This ball turned into a long-lasting tug-of-war again, and a circle drawn by his feet appeared under Tezuka's feet.

As time passed, he frowned slightly.

Although he attracted all attacks to his side and continuously hit the tennis ball to the diagonal of the baseline, attempting to consume Atobe's stamina.

In the eyes of others, he seemed to be standing still, returning the ball easily and taking the upper hand, but Tezuka knew very well that he was actually dragged by Atobe.

Huge force bombarded the racket surface, and he glanced at his left hand holding the racket.

There is still the final...

The thought fell, and milky white radiance emerged on Tezuka's body; he decisively launched an attack, actively changing the situation of the match.

Instantly.

The huge force disintegrated in the racket line, and then was blasted back.

Bang!

A roar, the tennis ball flew back with a more fierce momentum.

"No-Self Realm?!"

Atobe's pupils shrank; such radiance he had seen in the national tournament, and the opponent was exactly one of the Kyushu heroes, Qiansui Qianli.

No...

The aura emitted by Tezuka was stronger!

If Qiansui Qianli's aura is seen as a calm water surface, then the feeling Tezuka gives people at this time is a surging wave; this is a higher level of realm.

Bang!

Atobe returned the ball with both hands, but the force coming from the tennis ball made his face change greatly, and the racket flew out instantly.

His eyes flickered, this is the double-force center of gravity vertical jump playing method?!

"15-15."

Bang!

"15-30."

"Tezuka..."

Bu Er opened his eyes completely, his ice-blue eyes became bright; the original Tezuka is back!

And Gan Zhen Zhi stopped his recording pen again.

In this state, Tezuka, even if he had more data, would be equally helpless.

"What is that radiance?!"

Shan Chui's Qianshi Qingchun had a shocked look on his face, his right hand pointing at Tezuka on the court with a slight tremor.

Jiecheng Wu, Tezuka Kunimitsu, either one.

His worldview was reshaped twice in just one hour; tennis is so wonderful? What exactly did I miss?

"My heart has completely turned into nothing, empty is nothing...

It is not acting after thinking, but relying on the actual experience of the body, unconsciously counterattacking, surpassing the limit of the body; this state is called the No-Self Realm."

Having experienced decades of wind and rain in the tennis world, Ban Lao naturally understood Tezuka's state at this time, and he explained slowly, but there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

And the people around him cast unbelievable eyes at him.

No-Self Realm, can tennis reach such a mysterious level?

"So Tezuka has already entered the No-Self Realm?" Qianshi Qingchun asked.

Ban Lao shook his head.

"It's not just as simple as No-Self; he has already started exploring a deeper level, opened one of the three doors behind No-Self, and reached the Limit of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering."

Just as the words fell, a loud explosion came from the court.

Bang!

"Game, Youth Academy's Tezuka Kunimitsu, 2-0!"

Tezuka's hand injury has two settings in the original work.

The first is the setting before the national tournament; Tezuka's hand was injured by Wu Ju Jian Shi, and he was in severe pain at the time, but there was no pain later. It wasn't until the autumn of the second year that the arm gradually felt abnormal and began to seek medical treatment. It was just that the Ice Emperor battle completely scrapped it, and he had to go to a better hospital for treatment. In the anime, he went to De Guo, and in the manga, he went to Kyushu.

And the second setting is the setting of the national tournament.

After Tezuka was injured by Wu Ju Jian Shi in the first year, because of the injury, he sealed the Limit of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering, and it wasn't until the third year of the national tournament that it recovered.

The two settings conflict.

Actually, personally speaking, the first setting is more reasonable. After all, this kind of injury has greatly affected his strength. I really don't understand why a person striving to be a professional player would carry it without seeing a doctor when there is no match. The regional tournament to the national tournament is only from May to August, and the non-match time is very long.

However, the second setting is clearly mentioned in the original work, and I cannot deny it.

Therefore, in this book, the content of the first and second settings is combined.

Tezuka's injury gradually worsened; when he was just injured in the early stage, his arm was in severe pain, making it impossible to use Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering; later, it didn't hurt, and he could use it, but he never encountered a master, so he never opened it again.

If it goes on according to the normal plot, he will feel the abnormality in the autumn of the second year, and slowly he really can't use Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering. At this time, he goes to see a doctor, but he didn't go to Kyushu or De Guo, and he will go to a large hospital until it is scrapped.

Of course, the plot in the book won't...
