Chapter 87

Crackle, crackle.

Thunder Beast Stance, activate—

Yuuki Satoru slowly raised his eyes, his slender figure standing on the court, his black shirt moving without wind.

Accompanied by the faint sound of electric humming, blue lightning glowing with white light exploded suddenly, and the pale yellow flame on his body surface was completely replaced by wisps of electric arcs.

Seeing this stance, the light in Ji Le Taizao's eyes flashed again and again.

"This is..."

Ju Juping, standing at the baseline, suddenly felt a palpitation, his palms cold, the hair on the back of his hands trembling; he felt an aura that was dangerous to the extreme.

But, how could the Lion King stop moving forward because of a little threat?

"Bring it on!"

Swish!

Ju Juping gave a low shout, the tennis ball was tossed up by him, his body bent backward, and powerful force was gestating within it.

Boom!

The racket swung out violently from behind, dark red flames surging.

This was a strike infused with the lion's aura!

The yellow beam pierced out fiercely, as if wanting to tear this court apart.

Since the Thunder Beast Stance had been activated, this also meant Yuuki Satoru had ended his probing.

Rip—

His body flashed, instantly pulling out an afterimage, the racket in his hand swung, its speed as fast as a flash of lightning.

Boom!

Only hearing the sound of the tennis ball being hit, the dark red aura was easily annihilated by the lightning in a short instant.

A blue electric arc flashed across the sky above the net.

Ju Juping's pupils constricted; the opponent's speed was even faster than he had imagined.

But in the state where the lion's aura was running at full power, he could still capture the afterimage of the tennis ball!

"Explosive Ball Dance!"

Leaping toward the direction of the ball shadow, his right leg lifted and hooked, and the racket was drawn from his abdomen.

His stance was just like a hunting male lion; despite his short black hair, it was as if he saw golden manes dancing domineeringly.

Boom!

The racket frame smashed violently into the tennis ball; countless ball shadows appeared above the court again, wild and disorderly!

"The ball won't split!"

Yuuki Satoru calmly said Yukimura's famous quote.

As his eyes flashed, the shadow of one tennis ball after another appeared in his eyes.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Lightning surged; those fake ball shadows were like bubbles, popping at a single touch!

"Found it~"

In an instant, in Yuuki Satoru's field of vision, only the last one remained of the ball shadows filling the sky.

At the same time.

The details of Ju Juping's movements when he used the Explosive Ball Dance twice flashed quickly in his mind.

The racket turned horizontally, aiming the frame at Ju Juping, and Yuuki Satoru suddenly spat out with a chuckle.

"Thunder Beast Stance·Arc Flash·Thousand Birds!"

Boom!

His left foot stood on the ground, his body stretched, and with one hand held vertically, he drew upward, the frame accurately hitting the real tennis ball amidst countless ball shadows!

Zzzzt—

A gorgeous lightning appeared on the racket frame, and then the twisted and deformed tennis ball pulled out an irregular lightning and leaped across the court.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The moment it crossed the net, the lightning exploded suddenly, electric light raging, the flashing light and shadow like a flock of birds in the forest scattering suddenly!

"What?"

Ju Juping was shocked instantly; not only did he return the Explosive Ball Dance head-on, but he also hit a split ball that was faster than the Explosive Ball Dance, but with changes that were no different.

Boom!

In the moment of shock, countless ball shadows disappeared behind Ju Juping, leaving only a charred mark on the white boundary line.

"30-30!"

Zzzzt—

"Thunder Beast Stance·Arc Flash·Thousand Birds!"

The lightning, like a flock of birds scattering, exploded across the sky, and countless ball shadows disappeared on the court.

"Game, Yuuki Satoru, 2-0!"

"Thunder Beast Stance·Thunderclap·Kui Ox!"

The ball speed wasn't as fast as Thousand Birds; Ju Juping swung his racket violently.

However.

Boom!

The lightning on the tennis ball exploded on the racket face along with the Wildness aura, the terrifying collision bringing an unimaginable thunderous explosion.

This deafening sound came unexpectedly; the lion's aura on Ju Juping's body flickered between light and dark, the dark red flame swaying in the wind.

Clatter!

The aura was unstable, the power slackened along with it, and the black racket flew backward, dropping to the ground.

"Game, Yuuki Satoru, 3-0!"

"Change sides!"

Twenty minutes later.

"Game, Yuuki Satoru, 6-0!"

The match ended, Yuuki Satoru won.

"So strong..."

Even though it was the second time they had seen it, the Budongfeng crowd was still shocked by Yuuki Satoru's Thunder Beast Stance.

The invincible figure was deeply imprinted in their hearts.

This is the current captain of Budongfeng!

By the street, after witnessing this match with his own eyes, Kirihara couldn't laugh at all.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, he clearly knew the gap between himself and these two guys.

Their strength had already far exceeded his own limits; even after he entered that state, the outcome wouldn't change.

And...

Kirihara looked at Yuuki Satoru's figure with a solemn face; this guy was simply excessively strong.

That guy named Ju Juping could hit such a powerful explosive ball, and the lion's aura was terrifyingly violent; such strength was definitely at the top national level.

But even such a powerful person couldn't take a single game from Yuuki Satoru!

If it were Vice-Captain Sanada, could he win?!

For the first time, Kirihara had doubts about Sanada...

"Hey, are there many guys like this?" A cold voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Kirihara raised an eyebrow; how could such a question be asked?

Have you ever played tennis or not!

"How is that possible?!" he replied in a bad tone; fortunately, he saw the match between these two first, otherwise he would have smeared Rikkai.

But the next instant, Kirihara reacted immediately.

The one next to him was a super big delinquent!!!

His body trembled, and he turned his head to explain awkwardly: "Haha... tennis players of this level are rare even nationally..."

Kirihara was nervous in his heart, but the lesson he imagined didn't appear.

He looked up, and this guy with a delinquent look was actually smiling?

Akutsu stared straight at the two people on the court.

His breathing was a bit heavy, his palms were sweating, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and his blood was boiling.

Only when he found the corners of his mouth rising did he suddenly react and put away his unseemly behavior.

This feeling...

When was the last time this restless feeling appeared? It was too long ago; he couldn't remember clearly anymore.

He suddenly had an urge—an urge to go down and have a tennis match with those two.

Just as he wanted to walk in, he saw the vegetables and seasonings he was carrying in his hand, and his pale yellow eyes trembled.

"Tch~ nagging old woman..."

Taking a deep look at Yuuki Satoru and Ju Juping and remembering their faces, Akutsu turned and left, leaving Kirihara with an uninhibited back.

And after seeing this match, Kirihara also gave up the idea of challenging Yuuki Satoru.

But his eyes turned, revealing a cunning look.

"Hehe! Senior Yanagi Renji will definitely be interested in this match."

Inside the court.

Ju Juping didn't feel lost because of the defeat in the match; instead, his gaze was burning and increasingly bright.

He saw the future direction of the lion's aura...

The sky gradually darkened, and this Budongfeng internal testing ended.

After everyone cleaned up the court, they returned home with a bit of fatigue.
