I can’t do anything about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s leave the outcome of this match to be decided at the regional qualifiers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai picked up his racket and left the court without a second glance, while Xiao Xing, facing her brother’s scolding, kept casting desperate glances toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shengzai ignored the girl’s plea and even added fuel to the fire: “Captain, this whole mess is entirely Xiao Xing’s fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, quickly, Shengzai recounted the entire sequence of events to Ju Jieping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her brother’s face darken further, Xiao Xing glared at Shengzai: “Shengzai, you’re really adding insult to injury—are you even my boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell kind of boyfriend? Isn’t that just the excuse you used to drag me into this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just accept your captain’s scolding, Xiao Xing. I’m leaving now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Xiao Xing’s furious glare, Shengzai walked away without a hint of mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shengzai left the street tennis court, a man and a woman seemed to have been waiting for him and stepped forward to block his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Inoue from Tennis Monthly; this is my assistant, Shima Orin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Wenren Shengzai, right? Would you have time for an interview?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Inoue could finish, Shengzai raised his hand to cut him off: “Both of you, I appreciate your interest, but I’m exhausted and just want to go home and rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I’m not some undiscovered tennis prodigy or a hidden master, as you might imagine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My past is simple—I have no notable achievements or records. I’m just an ordinary second-year student in Budong Peak Middle School’s tennis club.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shengzai turned his back on Inoue and Shima and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inoue didn’t get angry at Shengzai’s refusal—he’d already gleaned plenty of useful information from those brief words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wenren Shengzai… second-year student at Budong Peak Middle School…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe Qingsheng really has met its match in this regional qualifier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s match against Taocheng wasn’t finished, but anyone with eyes could see that in the final service game, Shengzai—with his “Lanyang” technique—had no chance of losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, Taocheng is a regular player of Qingsheng. Who else on Qingsheng’s team could crush him so thoroughly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet Shengzai, who did this, is only a second-year student—and not even the captain of Budong Peak’s tennis club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So here’s the question: how strong is the captain of Budong Peak’s tennis club—the man just now? Could he be stronger than Shengzai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what about the rest of Budong Peak’s team? What’s their level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Inoue couldn’t wait to return and dig up information on Budong Peak Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Shengzai so strong, yet his school so unknown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tennis Prince era is modern, but computers and the internet weren’t yet widespread; most information was still preserved in magazines and newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, with help from a friend, Inoue found articles about Budong Peak Middle School in old newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard he searched, he found zero records on Wenren Shengzai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly speaking, as Shengzai himself had said, neither Shengzai nor Budong Peak Middle School appeared to be notable at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the regional qualifiers, Inoue and Shima Orin woke up early and rushed to the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Qingsheng was the top seed in the regional qualifiers, they received a bye in the first round—but Inoue’s target wasn’t Qingsheng; it was Budong Peak Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Budong Peak’s first-round opponent was Dawusuo Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since neither Dawusuo nor Budong Peak were well-known schools, and it was the first round, very few spectators had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Budong Peak’s lineup: doubles two was Shi Tian and Sakurai; doubles one was Uchimura and Moritatsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singles three: Kamio; singles two: Shinji; singles one: Ju Jieping; Shengzai was the reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Inoue arrived at the court, he was stunned to see a few middle schoolers in blue-and-white uniforms watching nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were none other than Qingsheng’s intelligence gatherers: Gan, Longma, and Taocheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the humiliation of last night’s defeat, Taocheng still felt he had to inform his seniors about Budong Peak and Shengzai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why these three had come to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the highly anticipated top seed, Qingsheng’s every move drew attention from other schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when the Qingsheng team members in their uniforms appeared, many people took notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, look—they’re Qingsheng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why are they here? Does Dawusuo or Budong Peak have a player Qingsheng needs to watch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it’s Dawusuo—they made it to the quarterfinals last year. Budong Peak? I’ve never even heard of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the spectators’ chatter, Kamio and the others grew angry, but Ju Jieping silenced them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let them talk. The court rewards strength, not words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all because of Shengzai and Xiao Xing’s recklessness—we’ve drawn unwanted attention too early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to show all our strength. Just win. It’s time to shut up everyone who looks down on Budong Peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",955,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0fed189a8c448065952ac9baab667b83bbdfa56365588e297ea1c1bf478cce0f","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-29","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-27",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
