Chapter 420

"Kamishiro didn't even use Iron Block serve?"

Not only the crowd was puzzled—Tezuka Kunimitsu was also full of doubt.

But even though he was puzzled, he did not let his guard down.

"Boom!"

The instant the sound of the tennis ball striking the ground rang out, Tezuka Kunimitsu immediately appeared on the ball's rebound path.

He saw him swing his racket in a flash!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball was sent back by his powerful return.

It looked like an ordinary return, but Kamishiro Aki, through his Sharingan Already, had seen that this ball was given a subtle spin angle.

"Boom!"

The instant the ball landed at "four-nine-zero," Kamishiro Aki immediately rushed over.

He saw him pull his racket back and then lash out violently at the bouncing tennis ball.

The speed was astonishingly fast!

"Boom!"

"Is that a Lightning Return?!"

Everyone recognized at a glance the signature move of Kamishiro Aki.

The posture of the Lightning Return was just like that of a Iaido slash—extremely recognizable.

Tezuka Kunimitsu also saw it.

But he did not move from his position.

The tennis ball was moving fast, crossing the net directly and slamming into the corner on Tezuka Kunimitsu's right-hand side.

"Boom!"

When the crowd could barely catch the shadow of the tennis ball, they all thought this point would go to Kamishiro Aki again.

But at that moment, the tennis ball that had been about to fly past the baseline suddenly became a curveball in mid-air!

Immediately after, an aura rose around Tezuka Kunimitsu, and the tennis ball flew directly toward him!

Seeing this, Horio Satoshi shouted out loud!

"It appeared!"

"Captain Tezuka's Tezuka Zone!"

Right after that, the tennis ball miraculously flew right in front of Tezuka Kunimitsu.

The next instant, Tezuka Kunimitsu aimed at the tennis ball and swung his racket violently!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball was struck back out again.

If one looked closely, one could notice that when Tezuka Kunimitsu swung, he also tilted his racket sideways.

That was the motion of a slice.

No need to think—this ball had once again been given a subtle spin by him.

No matter how Kamishiro Aki returned it, it would come back to Tezuka Kunimitsu's side.

Of course, that was only in theory; whether it was actually so was another matter.

Kamishiro Aki decided to try hitting an Iron Block smash one more time.

Said and done!

When the tennis ball flew back to Kamishiro Aki's court, Kamishiro Aki immediately Use Shave Step Technique to instantly appear in front of the ball.

Right after, he swung his racket quickly and struck the tennis ball into a volley.

"Boom!"

This time the tennis ball headed for the corner baseline on Tezuka Kunimitsu's left-hand side.

Kamishiro Aki applied an even stronger spin to the tennis ball.

As long as Tezuka Kunimitsu returned it again, it would become a lob.

That would be the moment for him to hit the Iron Block smash.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the tennis ball had already hit the ground.

After the tennis ball landed, it did not bounce straight out toward the baseline.

Instead, it flew toward Tezuka Kunimitsu's side on a strange curve.

But it wasn't very close—he needed Tezuka Kunimitsu to shift his feet to reach it.

The instant Tezuka Kunimitsu swung his racket and struck the tennis ball, he immediately understood Kamishiro Aki's intention.

In that critical split second, he violently pulled his racket and applied an even stronger spin to the tennis ball.

"Boom!"

Right after, the tennis ball directly became a lob.

Although this ball wasn't a high lob, that height was already enough for Kamishiro Aki to hit an Iron Block smash.

The moment the tennis ball became a lob, the audience immediately knew what Kamishiro Aki wanted to do.

Everyone from Seigaku broke out in a cold sweat.

Fuji Shusuke, his big eyes wide open, kept watching Tezuka Kunimitsu on the court and muttered softly.

"Tezuka…"

Kikumaru Eiji shouted out a reminder directly.

"Captain Tezuka! Kamishiro is going to do the Iron Block Spike again! Be careful!"

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone's hearts leapt into their throats.

Even Atobe Keigo began to grow curious.

"Tezuka, can your Tezuka Zone really break the Iron Block Spike?"

"Kabaji, what do you think?"

He rarely asked Kabaji Munehiro a question.

Kabaji Munehiro only thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know."

His tone was still just as wooden.

And at that moment, Kamishiro Aki had already leapt high into the air and swung his racket violently, spiking the tennis ball down!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball slammed heavily into the ground just in front of the net.

"Boom!"

"Iron Block Spike!"

The next instant, something miraculous happened!

The Iron Block Spike did not pin the tennis ball in place.

The tennis ball bounced up and flew toward Tezuka Kunimitsu's direction.

Everyone was stunned!

"The Iron Block Spike was actually broken by the Tezuka Zone?!"

"All right! Go, Captain Tezuka!"

"Tezuka is way too strong, isn't he?!"

Even Kamishiro Aki was shocked!

But Kamishiro Aki broke into a smile!

Then he suddenly laughed and said..........

"Tezuka! Just as expected of you!"

Before, the Tezuka Zone had only made the Iron Block Spike bounce up slightly.

But now, not only could it make the tennis ball bounce up, it could also send it flying toward Tezuka Kunimitsu's direction.

This had completely broken the Iron Block Spike!

Truly worthy of being the true protagonist of Prince of Tennis, Tezuka Kunimitsu!

Immediately after, the tennis ball arrived before Tezuka Kunimitsu.
