Chapter 68

The tennis ball flew back rapidly.

"Tezuka Zone?"

Jiecheng Wu looked gloomily at the area under Tezuka's feet, and the racket in his hand lashed out like a whip.

Swish!

The tennis ball rolled rapidly on the racket face, endowed with intense spin, and a large-angle yellow streak of light flew from the side of the court.

"Cyclone Smash."

When the tennis ball bypassed the net post and landed in Tezuka's half-court, Jiecheng Wu whispered in his heart.

"What an amazing around-the-post shot! Can tennis really be played like this?"

Seeing this curvature, which was even more exaggerated than the Snake Shot, a trace of surprise flashed in Kaoru Kaido's snake-like yellow-brown pupils.

Whoosh~

Although the flight curvature was astonishing, after landing, the special spin carried by the tennis ball was not eliminated, and it flew toward Tezuka's front once again.

One could see him pivot on his left foot, rotate his right foot forty-five degrees on the ground, vibrate his arm muscles slightly, and swing his racket out.

Boom!

A crisp sound rang out, and the tennis ball flew toward the opposite direction of Jiecheng Wu again.

Ji Bu was a recognized master of endurance matches, but when it came to moves that exhausted opponents, the Tezuka Zone was truly the first.

"Heh, let's see this move."

Jiecheng Wu quickly widened his steps, his body appearing in the right half-court in an instant, as if a breeze were blowing, his hair gently fluttering.

Looking at the bouncing tennis ball, he stepped forward with his right foot, tilted his racket upward, and slashed at the yellow streak of light.

Swish.

The moment the tennis ball touched the racket face, Jiecheng Wu's wrist shook slightly, and he pushed the racket forward to increase the contact time with the tennis ball, applying more spin.

Seeing this movement, Bu Er's expression changed slightly.

This is...

Shoo!

The next instant, a golden crescent suddenly appeared on the court.

"It's Senior Bu Er's Swallow Return!"

Momoshiro Takeshi pointed at the tennis ball that didn't bounce after landing on the court and shouted in surprise.

Oishi's heart sank immediately.

As long as the ball didn't bounce, even if the Tezuka Zone changed the arc of the tennis ball, Tezuka would still be unable to reach it.

The scene from last year when Jiecheng Wu used a Moon Volley to crack the Swallow Return flashed in his mind; could the Tezuka Zone be broken like this too?!

"The Tezuka Zone is not that easy to deal with."

Bu Er's gaze moved slightly; if it were really that simple, he would have won against Tezuka long ago.

Sure enough.

After the tennis ball flew along the ground for a distance, it suddenly rose near Tezuka's front, as if a long snake had raised its head.

Boom!

A white light flashed on Tezuka's glasses, his arm lifted, his racket pulled hard, and a golden light cut across the court.

"Qingxue leads, 15-0."

"Such little tricks are useless," Ji Bu said coldly from outside the court.

He knew best how troublesome the Tezuka Zone was; it was simply an impenetrable turtle shell, and coupled with the doubled return of the Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering, it would become a hedgehog with nowhere to attack.

When playing against Tezuka, he could rely on the insight of the World of Ice to judge the trigger for the Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering and hit a weaker return before that, making the Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering unable to exert its true power.

But when facing the Tezuka Zone, he could only resort to the most helpless method of a tug-of-war.

In terms of the structure of the tennis system, even someone as proud as Ji Bu had to admit that Tezuka was far more outstanding than him.

"Is the Swallow Return not working either?"

Jiecheng Wu turned the racket handle, his gaze fixed straight on Tezuka, who was as calm as an iceberg opposite him.

But he was not discouraged in the slightest; instead, he became even more excited. Although neither of them had truly exerted their full strength yet, he felt real pressure from Tezuka.

This feeling, he hadn't experienced in a long time.

The corners of Jiecheng Wu's mouth rose involuntarily, blood was rapidly transported to all parts of his body by his pounding heart, and he became completely excited.

Hiss.

Air entered his lungs through his nose, and the cold feeling made his brain incomparably calm; the entire process of the previous ball replayed rapidly in his mind.

Soon, Jiecheng Wu's eyes returned to their cold state.

It seems that it's impossible to crack the Tezuka Zone from a purely technical level; I must start from other aspects!

"Let's continue!"

Jiecheng Wu whispered.

Swish!

Tezuka was also unceremonious; he tossed the tennis ball into the air, leaped, swung, and hit the ball.

The movement was smooth and in one go!

This time, he added the spin force of a slice to the flat serve.

The landing point was still precisely directed at the inner corner of the service area, forming a centrally symmetric pattern with the first ball, without the slightest deviation.

Wanting to deploy the Tezuka Zone from the start?

Sweeping his gaze over the spin on the tennis ball, Jiecheng Wu immediately set up his racket, smashed with his forehand, and the racket hit the bouncing tennis ball directly.

Boom!

A pale yellow ball shadow rushed straight toward Tezuka's mid-court, and after bouncing, it grazed Tezuka's side as it flew.

Swish.

Ripples appeared in Tezuka's calm eyes, and a strange color appeared in the depths of his eyes.

This ball was not pulled over by the Tezuka Zone.

Although he had doubts in his heart, his movements remained decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

A radiance flew diagonally upward toward Jiecheng Wu's half-court, fast and urgent.

Sizzle—

Jiecheng Wu quickly moved to the side, lifted his hand, and hit a sharp smash, flying toward Tezuka's side again.

Boom!

Boom!

For the next six or seven rounds, the tennis ball flew straight toward Tezuka's side.

Even the others realized that this was not the pull of the Tezuka Zone, but Jiecheng Wu's active doing.

"What is he doing?"

Oishi rested his chin on one hand, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Because he can't break the Tezuka Zone, is he hitting the ball directly to Tezuka's side?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

Hearing this, as if a flash of inspiration had appeared, Gan Zhen Zhi hurriedly took out his notebook and pen, scribbling on a blank page, calculating something.

After a long while, he suddenly looked up and said in shock.

"Not good, the Tezuka Zone is about to be broken!"

"How can that be?!"

Oishi was immediately startled by his words, and the Qingxue crowd also turned their eyes to Gan Zhen Zhi.

"The reason the Tezuka Zone can take shape is because Tezuka applies a special spin when returning the ball, forcing the opponent's attack to bounce toward his side.

It's like a whirlpool, attracting surrounding objects.

To break the Tezuka Zone, one must either hit the opposite spin, creating a whirlpool in another direction to cancel out the Tezuka Zone;

Or use greater force to break through the influence of the whirlpool's attraction directly."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Gan Zhen Zhi explained rapidly.

"But Jiecheng Wu didn't use either of these two methods, yet the Tezuka Zone is still about to be broken by him!"

"."

Before he finished speaking, a twist suddenly appeared on the court!

Looking at the incoming tennis ball, a strange light appeared in Jiecheng Wu's eyes.

One must know, although a tornado is full of infinite destructive power, the center of the storm is the calmest place!

Happy New Year, everyone!
