Chapter 151: Echizen Ryoma VS Yukimura Seiichi

Hearing Momoshiro's optimistic words, both Inui and Fuji fell silent.

Nearby, Tezuka said to Echizen, who was preparing to take the court: "Don't be careless! Echizen."

"Put everything you have learned and realized during this time into this match."

Listening to Captain Tezuka's instructions, Echizen said: "Yes!"

Watching Echizen's departing figure, Tezuka fell into deep thought.

Since Rikkai had already guessed Seigaku's lineup, their own order of play must also be targeted.

Takahashi Yanichi, knowing full well that Echizen's Peerless Perfection could break Yukimura's Metsu Gokan, still chose to let Yukimura play.

Why is this?

Could it be that he has already given up on this match?

Intending to place the final outcome on the upcoming Doubles No. 1 match?

No.

Tezuka suddenly recalled the conversation he had accidentally overheard between Takahashi and Sanada when the sides were switching courts during the Singles No. 3 match.

Takahashi was instructing Sanada on how to improve his moves to deal with him.

Then, had Takahashi, who had once faced the limit of Echizen's Peerless Perfection head-on, also instructed Yukimura on how to break Peerless Perfection?

Echizen's Peerless Perfection might have already been thoroughly studied by them!

However, having truly touched that realm, Tezuka knew that Peerless Perfection was an almost perfect existence.

Takahashi, relying on his base strength which far exceeded others, could ignore the dazzling light of Peerless Perfection and remain unaffected by its radiance.

Is it possible for Yukimura Seiichi to do the same?

Can his strength support him in remaining unsuppressed under the radiance of Peerless Perfection?

Tezuka cast a doubtful gaze toward the court.

On the court.

Yukimura Seiichi and Echizen Ryoma walked slowly to the two sides of the net.

"I heard you haven't been out of the hospital for long."

"Since you've just recovered from a serious illness, it's better not to push yourself too hard!"

Echizen Ryoma said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of provocation.

"Your eyes are good!"

As Yukimura spoke, he had already taken a step and walked with long strides toward the baseline of his half of the court.

"What's that? What kind of answer is that?"

Echizen was somewhat speechless.

Before the match, Echizen had studied Yukimura Seiichi's strength with his seniors.

Yukimura's greatest strengths lay in his Spirit Power and base strength.

Metsu Gokan was the ultimate move with which he had dominated Rikkai for the past two years.

To others, this move was terrifying, stripping away their Five Senses one by one and plunging them into darkness.

But Echizen had opened the limit of Peerless Perfection; Peerless Perfection could eliminate any negative mental state, and after his training in the United States, he could make the radiance of Peerless Perfection affect his opponent, preventing them from exerting their true strength.

Back at the Kanto Tournament, because he had opened it too hastily, he hadn't been able to use this radiance to suppress his opponent.

But now, he could successfully do it.

In the United States, how many people had once surrendered under this dazzling radiance of his.

So, upon hearing his opponent's name, Echizen already knew the result of this match.

The winner would definitely be him!

"One set to decide the winner! First is the service game of Seigaku's Echizen Ryoma."

The umpire announced loudly.

Echizen walked to the baseline and took a tennis ball from his pocket.

After bouncing it on the ground a few times, Echizen tossed the tennis ball upward, and when it reached the appropriate position, he leaped upward with force and swung his tennis racket violently.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the ball being struck, the tennis ball turned into a streak of light and flew toward Yukimura.

After crossing the net, the tennis ball spun rapidly on the ground for a few turns before bouncing toward Yukimura's body.

It was exactly Echizen's signature serve, the Twist Serve.

Yukimura shifted his body to the left, leaped upward, and swung his racket in mid-air, successfully sending the tennis ball into Echizen's half of the court.

"Bang!"

Echizen lowered his center of gravity, his legs almost touching the ground, his shoes rubbing sparks against the court, and then he jumped up violently and swung his racket with force.

The tennis ball headed toward Yukimura with astonishing speed and power.

Yukimura stood where he was and swung the racket in his hand.

"Thud!"

The tennis ball landed in Echizen's half of the court with lightning speed.

At this moment, Echizen was still in the air and had no time to react at all.

"0-15!"

"Point for Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School's Yukimura Seiichi!"

Seigaku rest area.

"This Yukimura Seiichi is also so amazing! He actually returned every one of Echizen's signature moves."

"And the returned balls landed precisely on the baseline!"

Momoshiro exclaimed.

Inui Sadaharu opened his notebook and said, "Yukimura Seiichi, former Captain of the Rikkaidai Tennis Club, current Vice Captain. It was under his leadership that Rikkai began winning the National Tournament, and he is known by the title of Child of God."

Momoshiro said, "I didn't expect their Vice Captain to be this amazing too."

"This base strength is a whole level above Echizen's!"

Fuji said, "The only thing Echizen can rely on to win this match is the Peerless Perfection."

On the court.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"0-30!"

"Point for Yukimura Seiichi of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School!"

"Looks like you've got some skills, being able to return even my Cool Drive."

"In that case, I'm coming for you too, Child of God!"

As he spoke, bursts of intense white light erupted from Echizen's body.

After the white light slowly faded, specks of white light enveloped Echizen's entire body.

"The Peerless Perfection!"

"With this, the little guy can turn the disadvantage around."

Kikumaru shouted excitedly.

"That's right! It was already proven at the Kanto Tournament that Yukimura's Metsu Gokan is useless against the Peerless Perfection."

Momoshiro was also very excited.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the intense sound of the ball being struck, before Yukimura could react, the tennis ball had already pierced across the court and bounced on Yukimura's left side.

"15-30!"

"Point for Echizen Ryoma of Seigaku!"

Yukimura's pupils shrank sharply as he stared blankly at the tennis ball rolling on the ground.

Then, he carefully observed the radiance on Echizen's body.

Sure enough, ever since the radiance of the Peerless Perfection appeared, Echizen's strength had undergone a earth-shattering change.

The speed of Echizen's Serve was actually so fast that even he hadn't seen it clearly.

"You need to pull yourself together!"

"Then this time, I'll go a little slower!"

Echizen's arrogant words reached Yukimura's ears.

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

The sound of the ball being struck and the sound of it landing occurred almost simultaneously.

"30-30!"

"Point for Echizen Ryoma of Seigaku!"

Rikkai rest area.

"Yukimura-senpai, he was actually aced by his opponent!"

Kirihara was very surprised.

"Yes, ever since Echizen has been wrapped in the radiance of the Peerless Perfection, his movements have been completely different."

"Yukimura seems to be suppressed by Echizen."

Sanada said.

"But given Yukimura's strength, receiving it shouldn't be a problem; this ball speed is slower than when the Captain and Tezuka were playing just now, right?"

Yanagi Renji said.
