I occasionally sparred with my grandfather back home, so I recognized it just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, whether in his previous swings or his current ones, Wenren Shengzai’s movements all carry a sharp, cutting edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be a kendo master who has integrated sword techniques into tennis—that’s probably his tennis style.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wenren Shengzai of Fudomine scores! Score: 30–15!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very moment Tezuka revealed the true nature of Shengzai’s tennis, Fuji, staring at the rolling ball behind him, grew even more astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Shengzai had perfectly returned his “Swallow’s Return”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three shots, the opponent had seen through his “Swallow’s Return” and returned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wenren Shengzai of Fudomine is truly strong—but I won’t give up so easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even Fuji felt immense pressure from the talent and power Shengzai had displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the second opponent since Tezuka to make him feel such pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had said before—he had reasons he couldn’t afford to lose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serve was returned again, and Fuji once more used “Swallow’s Return,” but Shengzai, now in rhythm, returned it again with a half-volley before the ball landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had anticipated this, Fuji moved instantly to the landing spot after seeing Shengzai’s half-volley point, and struck the ball directly to the opposite side of Shengzai’s court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant! That shot went straight to his exact opposite side—even if Shengzai’s Sōsoku is fast, he still…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—that guy’s a monster! In the blink of an eye, he’s already sprinted to the other end of the court!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji’s risky shot was once again calmly returned by Shengzai, who then sent it back to the far corner of Fuji’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Shengzai’s special footwork, Fuji barely managed to reach the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, that barely-reached ball was rising in a high lob, about to land on Shengzai’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Fudomine team’s faces lit up with excitement—this high lob was a perfect opportunity for a smash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Kanshu team, recognizing Fuji’s intent, all wore knowing smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the high lob in the air and then Fuji already positioned at the baseline, Shengzai grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the plot, he clearly understood what Fuji intended—but faced with such a challenge, he had no reason to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few rapid sprints, Shengzai gripped his racket tightly and leapt high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shengzai’s smash, the Kanshu team instantly erupted in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they knew well: among Fuji’s three signature returns, one was specifically designed to counter smashes—the “Bear’s Net.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wenren-style Free Form—Break the Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai, leaping high forward, switched from one-handed grip to two-handed grip mid-air. Not only was his grip unusual, but he didn’t strike the ball on the racket’s strings—he struck it on the frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it looked like tennis, Shengzai’s motion as he leapt forward resembled swinging a sword through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball, struck directly by the frame, visibly deformed in midair, then shot out with wild, unstable velocity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuji, get out of the way—don’t try to return this shot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuji, the power behind this is too extreme—don’t be reckless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the ball was struck, Tezuka and Coach Kirisaki in the stands recognized its danger and shouted for Fuji to avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fuji ignored them completely, still assuming the stance of “Bear’s Net.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Fuji’s reckless move, Orikata, Fudomine’s coach, sighed with admiration yet concern: “Fuji, are you really going to use those thin arms to block Shengzai’s attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if ‘Bear’s Net’ can reduce the impact of a smash, this isn’t an ordinary smash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Orikata glanced down at his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right—he had already experienced Shengzai’s “Break the Army” last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling how his racket had flown meters away and how his arm had gone numb, Orikata’s face twisted with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once thought his own tennis was overly violent—but after seeing Shengzai’s smash, he realized he’d been gentle all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The descending ball exploded downward like lightning, kicking up a cloud of dust and leaving a deep crater on the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji assumed the “Bear’s Net” stance, but the ball altered its trajectory at the last moment, grazing the edge of his racket before falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",960,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","efe28403af87d3aa3b88927485392dd68efc3c139986a6441b4abe387bc88c68","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-34","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-32",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
