Chapter 86
Looking at Ju Juping's surging momentum, Yuuki Satoru knew the opponent was about to launch an attack.
In his memory, Ju Juping would have teamed up with Qiansui to face the Shitenhoji combination of Shiraishi and Kenya at this year's Kansai Tournament.
It was through this match that he finally confirmed that Qiansui's eyes could no longer be cured.
Since then, Ju Juping had fallen into self-reproach for destroying his best friend's tennis career with his own hands, not only actively sealing the Explosive Ball Dance move but also slowly stopping the use of the Roaring Lion and the beast aura.
This was what led to him being easily crushed by the red-eyed Kirihara at the Kanto Tournament.
If it were another time, how could such a thing happen?
However, Chitose Senri had now been transferred from Higa Middle School by Principal Shuidao in advance, and the Kansai Tournament hadn't started yet.
That is to say...
Ju Juping didn't know the true situation of Qiansui's eye injury yet; right now, his strength was at its peak!
Hum!
Yuuki Satoru's gaze narrowed slightly, the pale yellow flame surging along with it, ready for battle.
Boom!
A dark red light flashed on the opposite side, and the sound of a sonic boom echoed throughout the entire court!
The tennis ball whistled over with terrifying momentum, and Yuuki Satoru could clearly feel the domineering aura that intended to conquer everything.
Worthy of being the king among beasts; the title of Lion King was well-deserved.
However!
Second Movement·Arc Flash!
His body swayed toward the front court, his arm driving the racket at his side to swing fiercely at a certain point in the air.
Zzzzt—
The current hummed lightly, and an electric arc jumped freely across the net.
After landing, it stirred up a bit of light smoke, blue electric arcs flashed on the ground, and in an instant, it split into three ball shadows.
"The speed is indeed very fast, but the number of splits is too small!"
Looking at the incoming ball, Ju Juping raised an eyebrow, his gaze steady and calm.
After fully releasing the lion's aura, his five senses were greatly enhanced; these ball shadows, which approached the speed of "Swift as the Wind," were captured bit by bit by Ju Juping, who quickly found the real tennis ball entity.
"Here!"
A firm voice rang out; Ju Juping took a large stride to the left and swung his racket decisively at the ball shadow on the far left.
Boom!
The sound of the ball and racket colliding was exceptionally clear; his expression was confident, fully displaying a heroic spirit.
"Roaring Lion!"
The strong and confident words were spat out from his mouth; Ju Juping twisted his arm muscles, and the tennis ball immediately flew back with intense spin.
The next moment.
The moment the tennis ball flew over the net, a violent vibration appeared, and amidst the shaking, countless yellow ball shadows appeared above the court.
"One, two, three..."
"So many, so many tennis balls!" Shenwei Ming's eyes widened on the side.
Outside the court, Akutsu's gaze was burning, his yellowish-brown eyes turning constantly, attempting to find the true position of the tennis ball.
Boom!
In just an instant, the ball shadows filling the sky passed through Yuuki Satoru, and the sound of violent ground-smashing appeared behind him.
"15-0."
"So powerful, not only did he catch Senior Yuuki's attack, but he also hit such a flashy tennis ball!"
The appearance of the Roaring Lion made the Budongfeng crowd dazzled.
"Just like this, show me your true skills bit by bit."
Yuuki Satoru lowered his eyes and chuckled, slowly walking toward the baseline.
Looking at Yuuki Satoru opposite him, Ju Juping paused his steps; he remained unchanged even when facing such a counterattack from himself.
"He has confidence in his heart, thinking he can return it..."
Boom!
Ju Juping launched a violent attack directly; the lion's aura almost condensed into substance, the dark red flame sweeping out, seemingly wanting to destroy everything.
This was Ju Juping's tennis; once the attack started, it would never stop until the opponent's defensive line was completely torn to shreds!
Boom!
The racket swung out heavily, the strings even seeming to deform; in just the blink of an eye, the tennis ball appeared in Yuuki Satoru's court.
"It's coming again!"
Seeing Ju Juping's movement, Yiwu Shen Si's eyes narrowed instantly, wanting to see the trajectory of the tennis ball clearly.
But in just an instant, countless pale yellow ball shadows appeared suddenly, completely occupying the space above the court!
Tap, tap.
Yuuki Satoru's expression remained unchanged, ignoring the ball shadows filling the sky; his speed exploded simultaneously, and he rushed to the backcourt with a slide.
Slap!
With a light sound, countless ball shadows disappeared, leaving only one golden tennis ball rushing straight toward Yuuki Satoru's baseline position.
The number of splits from the Roaring Lion was indeed exaggerated, but the moment it landed, the real tennis ball would appear.
His slender arm swung the racket in a sharp draw.
Boom!
Caught it!
"15-15!"
Seeing the tennis ball rolling on the ground, the fighting spirit in Ju Juping's eyes became even more intense, his black hair standing up powerfully.
"Found a countermeasure so quickly..."
By the street, Kirihara Akaya couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes rounded; he hadn't been able to see the trajectory of the Roaring Lion's tennis ball, but Yuuki Satoru had already cracked it.
"These two guys!?"
In an instant, Kirihara thought he saw Vice-Captain Sanada and Captain Yukimura.
Off the court.
Boom!
"Too slow!"
Boom!
"Talk big after you can take a point!"
Two figures ran back and forth under the evening glow, and even the violently spinning tennis ball glowed with streaks of red light.
"What an astonishing reaction! Neither side is willing to retreat even a step—"
Yuuki Satoru tapped his toes on the ground, twisted his body to hit back, his racket drew the ball, and the tennis ball instantly bounced over half the court, slicing out a large chunk diagonally.
"Ju Juping! Feel free to attack!"
A low shout entered Ju Juping's ears; his body shook, not out of fear, but excitement!
Yuuki Satoru's rampant aura made him uncontrollably excited; no one had ever been able to fight him to this extent.
Even Qiansui could only rely on the No-Self Realm, continuously using various moves to limit his domineering offense, but Yuuki Satoru could actually clash with him head-on?!
The pale yellow Wildness flame and the lion's aura clashed with each other!!
Ju Juping's eyes narrowed, the fierce light fully revealed.
Boom!
The tennis ball flew across the court, and Ju Juping's movement suddenly changed.
Pushing off the ground, his body leaped up, one leg lifted and hooked to his abdomen, his arm bent, his whole body standing on one leg—the posture was strange, but a powerful momentum was gestating within it.
"It's coming!"
Yuuki Satoru's gaze narrowed; this movement—
It was definitely that move!
"Explosive Ball Dance!"
With a low roar, Ju Juping's racket swung out fiercely.
The racket frame smashed suddenly into the tennis ball. The tennis ball twisted and deformed in an instant, exploding out; between the flying, there were countless yellow ball shadows.
Compared to the Roaring Lion, the Explosive Ball Dance was faster! Fiercer! Completely without rules!
Slap!
After landing, the tennis ball was still changing positions violently!
Hum!
The Wildness aura surged, but Yuuki Satoru's gaze appeared exceptionally calm, his eyes turning constantly, quickly capturing the changing ball shadows.
Suddenly, a trace of a shadow entered his eyes.
Swish!
Yuuki Satoru's arm swung out decisively like a whip, but the feeling of swinging through empty air arrived as expected!
"30-15!"
Yuuki Satoru looked at the racket in his hand, then looked up at the domineering figure opposite him.
"So it really doesn't work...
Worthy of being a move that exceeds the judgment of Talented Radiance; it seems that with just this state, there's no way to easily crack this move."
He whispered softly, and then...
Crackle, crackle.
The current hummed, blue electric light exploded on his body...
For the plot of the Kansai Tournament, you can go watch the Prince of Tennis OVA; even Shiraishi couldn't directly return Ju Juping's Explosive Ball Dance.
The second chapter will be posted tomorrow at twelve noon.
