Chapter 72
【Breaking Limit】
【Breaking Limit】
【Breaking Limit】
On the data panel that Jiecheng Wu didn't notice, the Wildness skill in the skill column was flickering, the speed getting faster and faster, and the frequency constantly increasing.
Boom!
A heavy, dull sound, the tennis ball glowing with electric light collided straight with the silver-white racket.
Tezuka's left hand trembled; the opponent's return force was constantly increasing, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, his expression cold.
"This is the last ball."
His wrist twisted, the racket face tilted slightly, and the force struggling in the racket strings was resolved and eliminated by the milky white aura.
Swish!
One could see him slice from top to bottom, and the tennis ball flew back.
And on the other side.
"It's a Zero-Style Drop Shot."
Seeing Tezuka's movement, the name flashed in Jiecheng Wu's heart.
Blue electric arcs flickered in the pale yellow flames, he chased after it with astonishing speed, his mental power focused and concentrated, having entered a high-level No-Self Realm.
Unfortunately, he was too far from the net, and the tennis ball fell too fast.
Swish~
Just two centimeters in front of the silver-white racket, the tennis ball landed at the limit, followed by a rustling friction sound.
The tennis ball didn't bounce, but rolled to the dividing net in the middle of the court.
"0-30."
The service game was broken consecutively, but Jiecheng Wu had no emotional fluctuations; despite losing the score, his aura became increasingly aggressive.
Tezuka obviously felt this too.
After the seven-colored radiance of Talented Radiance flowed through his eyes, he reported an astonishing number.
"96 balls."
Boom!
Thunder Triple Concerto·Second Movement·Arc Flash!
Following Thunderclap, Arc Flash was also hit by Jiecheng Wu in the form of a serve.
And Tezuka crossed his steps, his body like a sharp arrow, running toward the predicted position; the three illusory ball shadows were seen through by him, and the racket in his hand swung out whistling.
Boom!
Boom!
The long rally of 96 balls in the prediction unfolded.
"Jiecheng Wu, Tezuka Kunimitsu..."
His fingers gripping the railing became tighter and tighter, Ji Bu's expression was incomparably complex, and a glimmer of inexplicable light flashed in the tear mole under the corner of his eye.
Losing wouldn't make him depressed; instead, it was his driving force to move forward.
However, after two matches, he couldn't even see through the true strength of the two, which was what made Ji Bu feel humiliated.
Even if he had successfully mastered the World of Ice, with his current strength, let alone winning against those two, he probably couldn't even last a few rounds.
"You Shi."
His gaze fixed on the duel on the court, Ji Bu said without turning his head, his tone decisive and firm.
"I will apply to Coach Sakaki for the matter you mentioned earlier, let the others get ready."
"Okay, Ji Bu."
Hearing this, Ren Zu You Shi replied hurriedly, and his heart also relaxed.
The matter his cousin entrusted was finally resolved; as long as Ji Bu spoke, even if it were to go to Osaka for an exchange match, it shouldn't be a problem.
However, although it was entrusted by his cousin, Ren Zu You Shi couldn't help but feel a bit hot in his heart.
After all, Shitenhoji was also a nationally famous strong school, not losing to Ice Emperor at all; being able to communicate with them would certainly lead to gains and improve his strength.
Having seen masters like Tezuka Kunimitsu and Jiecheng Wu, and having been defeated by Bu Er of Qingxue.
This genius of Ice Emperor had long since been unable to sit still.
Boom!
"Game, Youth Academy, Tezuka Kunimitsu, 2-0!"
Boom!
"Game, Youth Academy, Tezuka Kunimitsu, 3-0!"
"Switching courts!"
Jiecheng Wu's counterattack on the court became increasingly intense, but with the cooperation of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering and Talented Radiance, he was still steadily suppressed by Tezuka.
"Huff... huff..."
Jiecheng Wu panted heavily, sweat soaking his black team uniform; the intense rally just now made him enjoy it incomparably.
"Only after facing Tezuka personally can one know where his greatness lies."
Rapidly inhaling a large amount of air to recover his strength, he looked at Tezuka with bright eyes.
Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering could gather the body's strength at one point and return all the destructive power of the incoming ball doubled, but this would cause physical strength to be consumed rapidly.
Echizen often fell into a crisis of physical exhaustion because of this.
But this shortcoming was perfectly solved by the Tezuka Zone.
Tezuka deployed the domain to attract all returns; throughout the match, he didn't run at all, and the physical strength consumed by Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering was not even as much as the physical strength his body recovered while waiting to hit the ball.
This was exactly the reason Jiecheng Wu wanted to break the Tezuka Zone.
However, after Tezuka used the Limit of Talented Radiance, his own method of breaking it by complying with the domain spin also failed.
Because of Talented Radiance, no matter what kind of spin he hit, whether strong or weak, complying or reversing, Tezuka could know in advance.
He would hit different special spins according to the prediction and hide them in the hits, and his own returns might even provide help for the formation of the Tezuka Zone.
To break the Tezuka Zone, only one path remained: break it head-on!
At this moment, Jiecheng Wu had the same thought as Ji Bu.
"Tezuka's tennis system is simply perfect."
The Limit of Talented Radiance reduced the ways to break the Tezuka Zone to only one: break it head-on.
And to break the Tezuka Zone head-on, the first thing to face was the Limit of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering, but this was the strongest shield and the strongest spear, and the only physical strength shortcoming was made up for by the Tezuka Zone.
The Tezuka Zone, Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering, and Talented Radiance were three perfectly fitting puzzle pieces.
Any one piece could at most make one a mid-level national-level player, but when they were spliced together, the power they erupted showed doubled growth.
Now Tezuka, I'm afraid only Xingcun's Five Senses Deprivation, or Sanada, who developed the Yin and Thunder moves, could defeat him.
Jiecheng Wu thought to himself.
After the clash just now, the wild aura, Thunderclap, and Arc Flash were not enough to break the opponent's tennis system; he saw the gap between himself and Tezuka.
He still couldn't defeat Tezuka...
But.
This "he" refers to himself in the previous few games, not now!
Jiecheng Wu closed his eyes, but his spirit woke up at the same time he closed his eyes, and his belief cut through his brain like lightning.
【Breaking Limit】 became 【Breaking Limit】.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
Wisps of thunder light flickered on his racket-holding arm, vaguely appearing to have a crackling electric current sound, and an invisible oppressive feeling permeated.
The first to notice the change was Tezuka, who was facing Jiecheng Wu.
Step, tap.
A look of shock appeared in his eyes, and he actually retreated a step unconsciously; he felt an extreme threat coming from the opposite side.
That was the fear of thunder and lightning that all life had engraved in the depths of their genes.
Whether it was real electric current attraction or his own cold heart, for a time, the hair all over his body actually stood up.
"I have never felt better."
Jiecheng Wu walked slowly toward the baseline; accompanied by his steps, thunder light flickered constantly beside his two feet.
This was the template that transcended Koganei Shinji and Hayama Kotaro, it was a move developed by Jiecheng Wu, and it belonged exclusively to him—
Wildness·Thunder Beast Stance!!!
"My state is excellent..."
