Chapter 220: Eerie Spirit Power

Furthermore, after carefully sensing it twice, Takahashi actually found a trace of familiarity in that Spirit Power.

Time!

This is a time-based spirit ultimate move!

No wonder!

No wonder his Time Distortion became ineffective against him so quickly!

This is a meeting of equals!

So, should he return this ball or not?

Takahashi, who also possesses a time-based spirit ultimate move, knows the troublesome nature of such spirit techniques; relying on the Light of Restraint and ordinary Asura Divine Path, he might not be able to break free.

Relying on his second Other-Dimensional Phantom Idle Character to amplify his Spirit Power, Takahashi might be able to break free.

But based on the Spirit Power intensity he currently senses, even for the Idle Character, it would not be easy to fully neutralize this move; it would require spending quite a bit of time.

Then, during this period, he cannot multitask, and the probability of losing points would be quite high.

Perhaps he should give up this game first, then use the Spiral Ball to hold his own Serve game, and drag it to the fourth game first.

After all, continuously using eye attacks and adding Spirit Power to the tennis ball is also consuming a significant amount of Borg's own Spirit Power.

Should he drag it out first and let Borg consume too much?

Just as Takahashi was somewhat hesitant, an unyielding will came from his mind...

Immediately following, an extremely terrifying and eerie powerful aura appeared behind Takahashi.

The Taotie phantom reappears!

It opened its bloody maw and took a fierce gulp toward the incoming tennis ball.

Suddenly, the tennis ball, wrapped in a vortex-like airflow, paused in mid-air.

Then, the tennis ball flew toward Takahashi at a leisurely, wobbling speed.

Takahashi calmly swung his tennis racket and sent it into Borg's half of the court.

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

Borg seemed to be frightened by the appearance of the Taotie; he did not make any move, letting the tennis ball land and bounce.

"15-0!"

"Japan Team scores!"

Japan Team rest area.

The usually expressionless Tokugawa opened his mouth wide, unable to believe everything before his eyes.

"Taotie, can it be used like this?"

"Not only can it swallow Other-Dimensional Phantoms, but it can also absorb all the spin and power on the tennis ball? Making the tennis ball become a spinless ball?"

Beside him, Oni frowned; ever since the Taotie swallowed his Ghost God, he always felt a sense of trepidation whenever he saw the Taotie, likely due to post-traumatic stress disorder.

He said: "Takahashi's Taotie seems to have evolved again."

"While his base strength increases, the Taotie phantom's swallowing ability is also increasing!"

Byodoin swallowed hard and said: "I didn't expect Takahashi to use this method to neutralize the Baptism of the Vortex."

Borg's move, Baptism of the Vortex, is also a move that Byodoin wants to crack.

For this, he traveled the world, learned many World Level techniques, and successfully brought his grip strength to 300KG, able to open a coconut, known as one of the hardest fruits in the world, with his bare hands.

Byodoin wanted to use brute force to crack this move because he did not have the Metsu Mu like Tanegashima that could neutralize any spin.

But he did not expect that, besides eliminating spin and breaking it with brute force, Takahashi actually chose a third way: using the Other-Dimensional Phantom to swallow everything on the tennis ball.

This left Byodoin between laughter and tears, but now he had to believe what Mifune General Coach said.

Takahashi successfully entered the main gate of the Asura Divine Path and has walked further than him.

Tanegashima said: "As expected of Takahashi, the moves he uses are always so surprising."

While speaking, a trace of unease flashed in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the battle between Takahashi and Amadeus again.

Takahashi also used the Taotie to swallow Amadeus's "Darkness," but at the same time, he also swallowed the "Darkness."

The Taotie is good at everything, except that it swallows everything, and sometimes it also swallows things that shouldn't be swallowed.

But thinking that this move is mainly vertical spin, there is no existence of Spirit Power.

Tanegashima then let go of his hanging heart.

"Bang!"

Facing the Baptism of the Vortex coming from Borg again, the Taotie behind Takahashi opened its bloody maw again and took a deep breath.

The little yellow ball suddenly turned into an ordinary, plain tennis ball, flying slowly toward Takahashi.

"Bang!"

While swinging his arm, Takahashi slightly twisted his wrist.

The tennis ball flew toward the opposite side with astonishing momentum.

Looking at the spin on the tennis ball, which was exactly the same as the Spiral Serve, Borg stepped forward without hesitation.

This is not a Serve, so it can be returned before the tennis ball lands.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball landed heavily on Borg's racket.

Borg felt as if he had caught a large lead block, just as he was preparing to swing his tennis racket with force.

He discovered with surprise that the tennis ball actually possessed astonishing backspin, drilling into the racket strings like a spiral electric drill.

"Thud!"

After the tennis ball drilled a hole through Borg's racket, it landed heavily.

"30-0!"

"Japan Team scores!"

Seeing this scene, Takahashi smiled.

After having his own racket knocked out of his hand twice, Borg's racket had finally been ruined by him once.

It could be considered a draw!

The Spiral Ball is just that unsolvable; not only is the Serve unsolvable, but returning it is also quite difficult.

Because the Spiral Ball carries astonishing power combined with rotation, and when the tennis ball makes contact with the ground, the power on the ball, under Takahashi's control, is entirely converted into terrifying backspin.

That backspin force is even capable of drilling through the ground, let alone a small tennis racket.

Therefore, to crack the Spiral Ball, one can only avoid giving Takahashi the chance to add rotation when returning the ball.

Because the Spiral Ball has very high requirements for rotation and angle.

And at the beginning, Borg did very well to prevent Takahashi's Spiral Ball.

It is just a pity that with the blessing of the Asura Divine Path and the Other-Dimensional Phantom—Taotie, Takahashi can devour everything on the ball hit by Borg, thereby turning the tennis ball into an ordinary ball.

Takahashi then hits the ball he wants to hit according to his own will.

This function of Taotie's devouring of ball trajectories is actually somewhat similar to Tokugawa's Black Hole.

But unlike Tokugawa's Black Hole, the complex ball trajectories that Taotie can devour are 10% higher than Takahashi's own strength limit.

And the Baptism of the Vortex hit by Borg did not reach this critical point.

So if it were Tokugawa's Black Hole on the court, with Tokugawa's base strength being far lower than Borg's, it would still be torn apart by the Baptism of the Vortex.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

Accompanied by a heavy landing sound, the tennis ball once again drilled through Borg's tennis racket.

"40-0!"

"Japan Team scores!"

Borg walked back to the Germany Team's rest area with a gloomy expression, and Bismarck once again handed over a new tennis racket.

Watching Borg's back as he turned and walked back to the court, Q. P said in a low voice: "I have never seen such a disheveled side of Borg."

"Having his tennis racket broken by an opponent twice in a row."

Bismarck chimed in: "Even when Borg challenged the world number one, Novak, a while ago, it wasn't like this, right!"

Returu said: "Takahashi is even more dangerous than we imagined."

"This Spiral Ball technique he developed is very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid only someone whose base strength far exceeds his can neutralize the rotation on it."

"But did you notice Borg's eyes? Even when playing against the previous world number one, he didn't show such a look this early."

Bismarck said: "Coach, are you saying that that move has already succeeded?"
