Chapter 74

"I said!"

Jiecheng Wu's gaze was heavy, dispersing the thunder light jumping on his body, and he said loudly to Tezuka opposite him.

"Let's stop here, otherwise you will never be able to play tennis again..."

Gently clenching his fists, Bu Er's eyes were filled with worry; he had always been paying attention to the changes in Tezuka's arm, so he naturally knew the current situation.

"Tezuka..."

But he also understood Tezuka's determination; Tezuka couldn't give up the match, and no matter who persuaded him, it would be useless.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Tezuka was stunned, then his expression returned to calm and he said slowly.

"Only, I cannot lose this match."

He paced to the baseline, sweat dripping onto the ground with his slow and firm steps, his left hand holding the racket trembling slightly, and his elbow and shoulder even showed signs of slight redness and swelling.

There is still a way...

Countless thoughts flashed in Tezuka's heart, constantly thinking about strategies to counter Jiecheng Wu.

Only through match after match, defeating one desperate situation after another, could a national-level player constantly perfect their tennis system and make fewer and fewer blind spots.

This match was the same.

Previously, he was suppressing Jiecheng Wu, and Jiecheng Wu found a way to break the situation and completed his evolution; now it was his turn.

And he was already Qingxue's last line of defense; he absolutely could not give up the match just like this!

"Since that's the case...

It seems I can only solve you quickly."

Jiecheng Wu's expression was a bit gloomy; he didn't want Tezuka to be ruined by his own hands.

Only now, with Tezuka firing on all cylinders, even he couldn't end the match instantly.

After all, the moves of the Thunder Triple Concerto were not specifically created to counter Tezuka, and he couldn't disintegrate Tezuka's combat power through mental means like Xingcun.

The only way now was to let himself adapt to the Thunder Triple Concerto in the Wildness·Thunder Beast Stance quickly, further enhance the power of the special moves, and tear through the defense of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering.

Zilla—

Under Tezuka's gaze, Jiecheng Wu's body fluctuated with thunder light again, his right hand holding the racket curled upward, and the tennis ball was tossed up.

Boom!

Second Movement·Arc Flash!

With a crackle.

Suddenly, a blue thunder light crossed the court; the moment it landed, electric sparks flickered. In the Thunder Beast Stance, Arc Flash showed some changes: faster speed and a more exaggerated degree of distortion.

Only, it was still within the limit Tezuka could bear.

Talented Radiance and Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering were activated simultaneously.

Boom!

When the racket swung out, the milky white aura twisted the spin of the thunder light.

Zzzzz~~

Tezuka's face changed slightly; the spin of the tennis ball was more intense than he imagined, and at this time, a tearing pain came from his left shoulder.

"Hiss—"

Enduring the pain in his body, Tezuka returned this ball, and Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering was forcibly activated, thunder light flickering into Jiecheng Wu's half-court.

Boom!

Boom!

Jiecheng Wu constantly tried to transform the Thunder Triple Concerto, hoping to end the match as soon as possible, but such attempts also exposed some flaws.

On the contrary, it gave Tezuka a chance to breathe, making the match drag on longer.

And in such intense collisions, Tezuka's shoulder and elbow endured unimaginable pain; every time he lifted the racket, the stabbing pain from his shoulder made the corners of his eyes twitch.

"The situation is terrible..."

"Enough, Tezuka! Give up this match!"

Oishi stood up abruptly, his expression pained and tormented; he would rather not have the championship if it meant sacrificing Tezuka.

"Damn it, if I were stronger, if that doubles match could have been won, Tezuka wouldn't have to face this situation."

"Damn it... damn it..."

Just when Oishi's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with grief and indignation, a palm pressed on his shoulder.

Coach Ryuzaki's voice also followed.

"Oishi...

Our Qingxue president will never evade, even if the arm injury recurs—"

Oishi turned to look; he saw Coach Ryuzaki lifting her head, the golden sunlight shining obliquely on her cheeks; she closed her eyes in pain, as if she couldn't bear to see the tragic scene on the court.

This conversation was carried to Jiecheng Wu's ears by a breeze.

"Damn it!"

In the Thunder Beast Stance, his temperament was much more irritable than usual.

In the National Tournament, because of Fuji Syusuke's temporary paralysis, Echizen Ryoma accidentally injured his eyes, and Ryuzaki allowed him to continue the match.

In the Kanto Tournament, Fuji was hit in the forehead by Akutagawa, leading to blindness in both eyes, and Ryuzaki allowed him to continue the match.

In the National Competition, Tezuka and Atobe fell into a protracted battle, and the arm injury could recur at any time, and Ryuzaki also allowed him to continue the match.

Ryuzaki wanted to be a nice person, always compromising with her team members, allowing their willfulness.

But you are a coach, not a nice person!

Although Kitazono Wu had expected that Ryuzaki would not stop Tezuka, he still cursed during the match.

"Damn!"

Thick thunder light flickered on the racket, Jiecheng Wu let out a low roar, and the racket whistled out.

"Finally done!"

Thunder Beast Stance·Thunderclap·Kui Niu!

The spherical ball instantly twisted and compressed into an oval shape; although it was powerful, the sound was not as deafening as before.

Boom!

A heavy, dull sound rang out, and the tennis ball exploded a thunder light in the opposite half-court, bouncing and growing larger and larger in Tezuka's eyes.

"Can catch it."

Tezuka's eyes condensed into a point; the power and speed of this ball were not as strong as he imagined, and the radiance of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering covered the racket and smashed at the tennis ball.

But the next instant.

Rumble—

The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, the accumulated thunder light exploded along with the wild aura, and a terrifying spin erupted on the racket face, a thunderous roar exploding.

A sound wave surged beside Tezuka; he seemed to see the divine beast Kui Niu roaring in the East Sea, the thunder loud, setting off waves.

Tezuka was stunned instantly, and the radiance of Talented Radiance flickered like a candle flame.

Patter!

The violent force vibrated on the surface of the racket, and Tezuka could no longer bear it; the silver racket flew high backward.

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School, Jiecheng Wu, 5-3!"

Thunder light flickered, Jiecheng Wu was like a messenger of thunder, and the racket smashed out violently.

Thunder Beast Stance·Thunderclap·Kui Niu!

Boom!

Talented Radiance was broken head-on again.

"Game, Budongfeng Middle School, Jiecheng Wu, 6-3!"

"Match over, Budongfeng Middle School wins, total score 3:0!"

The referee's voice fell, and the Du Da Sai came to an end.

Clatter!

After a brief silence, applause thundered in the audience; this Du Da Sai really let them have their fill, simply like watching the National Competition.

"Budongfeng!"

"Budongfeng!"

Outside the court.

"Beautiful!"

Seeing Jiecheng Wu win the match, Shuidao Zhengzhang wanted to shout happily, but thinking of his status, he still resisted this impulse.

Then he looked at the man wearing a hat beside him, full of pride, and asked with a beaming face.

"How about it, do you want to consider coming to our Budongfeng?"

Forgot, I want to change the cover of this book, but I didn't find many good-looking pictures of Budongfeng, do any brothers have good-looking pictures? If it really doesn't work, I'll use Rikkai's? There are really many good-looking pictures of Rikkai...
