Chapter 113: Otherworldly Dimension—Ghost God

Because the Light Strike Takahashi had just hit had damaged the tennis court too severely.

They moved the subsequent match to another tennis court.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"1-0!"

"Takahashi scores!"

Relying on the Black Hole and his control over timing, Takahashi was always able to stop the Black Tomahawk hit by Oni within the Black Hole space he had carved out, causing the tennis ball to stop right in front of him.

Then, following his own will, he would hit various tennis balls that Oni could not react to in time.

After one game ended, Oni's expression had turned completely gloomy.

Having already entered Peerless Perfection, his strength had doubled, yet he had actually lost a game, and to a middle school student at that.

This fact made him hard to accept.

Especially since he felt that Takahashi's application of the Black Hole was even superior to Tokugawa's.

Tokugawa's Black Hole had been gradually perfected under the guidance of Oni and Irie.

Therefore, Oni knew that Tokugawa's application of the Black Hole had flaws.

When Tokugawa swung his racket to carve out space, there were many loopholes; his movements were too large, and he had not mastered the corresponding timing, allowing Takahashi to see through where he intended to carve out space.

So, in their previous matches, Takahashi could defend against the Black Hole by alternating between Absolute Equilibrium and ordinary high lobs.

Yet the Black Hole Takahashi was using now avoided this problem.

He was always able to stop the incoming ball in his carved-out Black Hole space just right, without wasting a single bit of strength.

One must know that Tokugawa's Black Hole had been practiced only recently, after about a year of effort and guidance from his seniors.

And Takahashi, merely through one match against Tokugawa, was able to see through Tokugawa's weakness and, furthermore, improve upon that weakness and apply it himself.

This talent made even Oni have to admire him!

At the same time, Oni also had to change his perspective.

Originally, he had viewed Takahashi as a junior, a promising junior who needed to be looked after by his seniors.

Now Oni understood that he could not view Takahashi as a junior; he had to face him squarely and treat him as an opponent, otherwise, he might not necessarily win.

Once this conviction was solidified, Oni's gaze gradually became firm.

"Takahashi, your talent truly leaves me in awe! But there is a gap of nearly six years between us."

"In a few years, perhaps you will be able to catch up to me. But the current you is no match for me!"

"Let me show you hell, let me show you the terror of the Ghost God!"

A low voice issued from Oni's mouth.

In the Monitoring Room.

"Hey, is Oni planning to use his Ghost God? Are you not going to stop him?"

"That middle school student will get hurt."

Tsuge said.

Kurobe pondered for a moment and said to the staff: "Notify the medical team to be prepared!"

Saito replied to Tsuge: "Takahashi can use the Black Hole, so he should have a certain understanding of the Asura Divine Path; let him try!"

Tsuge said: "But, this move of Oni's originally left a scar on the current 1st String No. 1, Byodoin Houou, which has yet to fade even now."

Kurobe said: "Takahashi's talent far exceeds our predictions. Originally, Mifune General Coach and I never thought Takahashi had already stepped into the Asura Divine Path with one foot; we both thought that with his personality, he would need us to give him a push to possibly reach it."

"Since he has displayed such powerful strength, then let us let go and test exactly where his limit lies."

"Are you not curious about just how far a match between a middle school student and Oni can go?"

On the court.

Takahashi listened to the voice that seemed to come from hell and looked at Oni's ferocious face and fierce eyes.

His heart felt as if it were being pressed by something, making it hard to breathe.

This kind of pressure was something Takahashi had never felt from anyone before.

Is this the true strength of an elite U17 high school student?

Billowing clouds of dust suddenly appeared out of thin air from Oni's half of the court.

After the dust appeared, the range expanded rapidly, sweeping across Oni's entire court like a storm.

The thick smoke rolled, making it impossible for Takahashi to see the figure on the opposite side clearly.

"Bang!"

Relying on his excellent hearing, Takahashi raised his arm and swung his tennis racket.

"So heavy!"

Takahashi could not help but grip the racket with both hands to barely manage to return the tennis ball.

"Heavy, is it?"

"The more terrifying part is yet to come!"

"If you are afraid, then forfeit voluntarily!"

A voice that seemed to come from hell rang out from Oni's half of the court.

Takahashi widened his eyes slightly.

Within his line of sight was a terrifying ghost shadow!

It was as if a ghost from hell!

His whole body was filled with an aura of destruction that made people despair.

"An Other Dimension, a Ghost God?"

From within a cloud of billowing smoke, the voice of Takahashi rang out.

Irie's expression also changed, and he said, "I didn't expect Oni would actually use this move, and against a middle schooler at that."

"Admitting defeat is the best choice for this middle schooler!"

Tokugawa nodded, in complete agreement with Irie's statement.

Because even he had never seen an Oni like this.

That blood-red figure, as if it had walked out of hell, made his heart tremble.

It felt as if his heart were being pressed by a stone, leaving him unable to catch his breath.

The presence of this phantom was truly terrifying!

Merely watching the match from the side gave Tokugawa an urge to uncontrollably submit to Oni.

How much more so for Takahashi, who was facing the Ghost God head-on?

Tanegashima did not speak; he kept his eyes fixed tightly on Takahashi.

Takahashi's expression was not as fearful or intimidated as Tanegashima had imagined.

Perhaps Takahashi could receive this ball.

This thought suddenly surfaced in Tanegashima's mind, startling even himself.

……

"Forfeit!"

"Those two words are simply not in my dictionary!"

"A Ghost God? It is nothing more than this!"

As he spoke, intense changes began to occur on Takahashi's body as well.

A heart-palpitating aura radiated from Takahashi's body.

Oni, who was within the Ghost God, inexplicably felt a cold, eerie, and destructive sensation.

……

"What is Takahashi doing?"

"Could it be that he still has a trump card?"

Kurobe said loudly in surprise.

Seeing the Ghost God phantom of Oni appear, Kurobe had already decided to call a halt to this match.

After all, Takahashi was only in his first year of middle school, yet his strength was already powerful enough to force Oni, who stood at the pinnacle of the U17, to this extent.

If a talent with such potential were to suffer a serious injury on the court, especially under Kurobe's own watch, then the responsibility Kurobe would have to bear would be no small matter.

So, just as Kurobe prepared to pick up the microphone to call a halt to the match, he was astonished to discover that changes were also appearing on Takahashi.

"Is this an Asura Divine Path that belongs to Takahashi himself?"

Kurobe could not help but mutter to himself.

Then he saw that behind Takahashi, a massive figure had simultaneously appeared.

It did not seem to be the form a human should have!

This figure was nearly ten meters long, and as soon as it appeared, it almost completely enveloped the entire tennis Court.

Darkness descended upon the tennis Court in an instant!

An ancient, wild, and terrifying aura immediately surged toward the Ghost God on the other side.
