Chapter 91

After the talk, Ji Le Taizao seemed to have an epiphany.

But he still entrusted Old Man Maguto to ask him to let Yuuki Satoru walk into the spiritual world to take a look at the mountain cave tunnel of the Asura Divine Path.

Old Man nodded and agreed, so he slowly looked at Yuuki Satoru.

"For you right now, the Asura Divine Path is very strong; if you walk on this path, you will become the strongest middle school student."

"But, I still hope you can continue to insist on your own path, instead of being like me."

Ji Le Taizao's eyes flickered, and a look of self-mockery appeared on his face.

Afterward, he patted Yuuki Satoru on the shoulder and said.

"But no matter how you choose...

The match I promised you before is always effective."

After finishing his instructions, Ji Le Taizao said goodbye to Old Man Maguto, leaving Yuuki Satoru in the temple and going down the mountain alone.

After all, the Kanto Tournament was imminent, and the Budongfeng Tennis Club still needed him to command.

The ancient temple was bathed in the hazy moonlight.

In the courtyard, Yuuki Satoru sat cross-legged on a cushion meditating, his hands naturally resting on his knees, his eyes closed lightly, his breathing long and peaceful.

According to Old Man Maguto, to realize the Asura Divine Path, one must master the No-Self Realm.

Although he wasn't going for the Asura Divine Path, the so-called spiritual world would also be guided by Old Man, and there was no need to enter the No-Self Realm.

But before that, the process of meditation and Zen sitting was unavoidable.

As time passed.

Distractions gradually arose, and the changes in the surrounding environment began to affect Yuuki Satoru's thoughts.

The night wind blew, the leaves rustled, a few crickets were hiding somewhere, and even the cuckoo bird was riding the moonlight, singing with its throat.

His breathing was abruptly disordered.

"Even meditation and Zen sitting are not easy to get started with; the No-Self Realm is much harder than I imagined."

Yuuki Satoru slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although after entering the Wildness state in the match, his brain was clear and he could exclude external interference, focusing all his attention on the opponent.

It seemed to be somewhat similar to the No-Self Realm.

But these two things are actually not the same thing.

No-self seeks the heart, while Wildness seeks the body; one is about forgetting, the other aims to find; forgetting and then gaining is no-self, while tracing the source to find the self is Wildness.

The path of no-self has been developed by countless predecessors and is already a smooth road in this world.

Initial entry into the No-Self Realm, deeper No-Self Realm, Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering and Talented Radiance, and even different-dimensional realms like Heavenly Seamless.

While Wildness is still exploring; based on the experience of walking on this path, Yuuki Satoru temporarily divides it into three stages.

The first stage is the stage of exploring instinct.

Concentration is greatly improved, and the body acts before the thought arrives; this is the significant feature of this stage.

Half a year ago, he fought Fuji, and under the pressure of the Swallow Return, he successfully stimulated his body's instinct. Not long ago, Yiwu Shen Si also officially stepped into it.

And the second stage is the stage of controlling instinct.

At this level, one can begin to gradually control the power of Wildness.

Just like him and Ju Juping, they can attach their own Wildness flame to the tennis ball to hit it, and even exert mental influence on the opponent through momentum.

As for the third stage, it was the brand-new stance belonging to Wildness that Yuuki Satoru developed based on the characteristics of Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering during his match against Tezuka.

Not only can he control the power of Wildness, but he can also quickly concentrate the power of Wildness in one place, exerting the power of the body's limit.

Predecessors only walked Wildness to the second step; only Yuuki Satoru opened up a small section on top of it.

And because the essence is different.

The Wildness path has advantages that the No-Self path does not have.

The No-Self path uses the heart to drive the body.

However, the weak body cannot keep up with the powerful spirit of no-self, so when performing the No-Self Realm, the physical exertion is incomparably rapid; even Thousand Hammer Hundred Tempering only reduces the consumption of no-self to the minimum, but its speed is still very fast.

While Wildness is different.

It originates from the instinct of the body and always maintains a subtle balance with the body, so whether it is the Wildness flame or the Wildness stance, its consumption is far less than the No-Self Realm.

"However, how should the next path be walked?"

Yuuki Satoru supported the ground with his hands behind him, looking up at the bright moon.

All kinds of inspiration appeared and annihilated in his mind; one wild idea after another ran out, only to be immediately denied by him.

"No clue."

Yuuki Satoru shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

While looking at the cloudless night sky, while thinking about Old Man Maguto's explanation of the Asura Divine Path and the No-Self path during the day, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He wasn't discouraged, and his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.

Because on this path of "opening up a path," he is not alone.

Ahead, there is Old Man Maguto, who walked out of the Asura Divine Path from the Light of Fortitude of Heavenly Seamless.

And behind, there are also some people who are looking for their own paths.

In the New Prince of Tennis plot.

A year later, the Neon team and the German team will meet in the semifinals, and the first match is the battle between Oni Jujiro and Q·P.

This match is full of black humor; Oni bloomed with the Light of Fortitude, but unexpectedly let Q·P successfully give birth to the ultimate quality, leading to his own crushing defeat, and even his dominant hand was broken by Q·P in one ball.

Originally, Yuuki Satoru didn't understand why Oni didn't use the Asura Divine Path, but used the power of Heavenly Seamless that he had only just realized.

He had also complained about why the Neon team didn't do any background checks.

Didn't Gan Zhen Zhi and Yanagi Renji go out with the team? Not to mention that there were Mitsuya Akuto and Kimijima Ikuto; investigating opponents in advance was something they had always been doing.

But Old Man's words made him understand many things.

This match was not only the first battle between the Neon team and the German team, relating to the team's score; it was also a battle of path-opening for two path-openers, affecting the evolution of both sides' paths.

The two had different experiences and developments, but they accidentally intersected on the path of no-self.

Q·P, under the cultivation of the German system since childhood, gave birth to tennis of perfect quality.

At the same time, he also clarified the next path, using his body to perceive the three kinds of Light of Holding, and absorbing them, making the main trunk of perfect quality add branches like Heavenly Seamless.

Thereby opening up the path of 【Ultimate Quality】.

And Oni Jujiro, he understood his own weakness in front of Byodo-in Phoenix's Light-Hitting Ball, and was the first to step into the Asura Divine Path;

Then, in the match against Kintaro, he found his true self, returned from the fork in the road of the Asura Divine Path to the main road of no-self, and bloomed with the Light of Fortitude.

But this was still a path others had walked, until Q·P successfully absorbed the Light of Fortitude and gave birth to 【Ultimate Quality】.

Only then did Oni truly see the path ahead.

So facing Q·P, who even Borg believed was almost invincible.

Oni Jujiro didn't retreat at all, sublimating to the extreme, using the soul of Yamato as the bone and spirit as the flesh, condensing the shadow of a ghost god on the path of no-self in an attempt to tear open a new path.

Based on the intersection on the path of no-self, Oni and Q·P's souls were intertwined, and the ghost god from hell and the ultimate quality fought each other on the path of no-self.

Even if his dominant hand was broken, even if his racket collapsed, he still wanted to fight Q·P with his body, letting the final cross-line guard the final defensive line.

It's a pity that Oni Jujiro was a step late after all.

The timing for him to see the path ahead was too late; even if the shadow of the ghost god had appeared, even if his path ahead was already clear.

But in front of Q·P, who had mastered the ultimate quality, he still lost a crushing defeat.

After the national competition, the strength division in the New Prince of Tennis period is very blurry; starting from these chapters, I will gradually show what the realm above the national level is and how to walk it.

Embarrassing, I mixed up Bismarck and Q·P; I always thought Bismarck was Q·P's real name; the chapter title probably has to wait until the editor goes to work to change it.
