Chapter 324
That person was the first-year student who held a magazine to introduce Kise when he first appeared.
A fanatical basketball enthusiast who wouldn't even let the Youth Sports Newspaper go.
Without a word, he took out a stack of magazines from his backpack and searched through them.
After a while, he finally found a magazine with Tiandao on the cover.
"Tiandao Jingyan, Teikou's Demon Star, the newly appointed Basketball Club Captain of Teikou."
"Before coming into contact with basketball, Tiandao Jingyan had been exposed to various sports; like his teammate Kise Ryouta, he is a versatile player."
"But unlike Kise Ryouta, who possesses extraordinary learning ability, what makes people most concerned about Tiandao Jingyan is his innate, transcendent athletic intelligence."
"He once observed a Sword Saint's swordsmanship and created a brand-new swordsmanship exclusive to himself; he also gained inspiration from matches against opponents to create brand-new skills..."
"But this is merely the tip of the iceberg of his transcendent athletic intelligence. He is skilled at analysis and observation; without any intelligence, he can find the tactical weaknesses and loopholes of his opponents and exploit them..."
The magazine's introduction certainly contained more than these words, but the key meaning was this.
Kuroko continued, "Tiandao-kun said that he has been like this since he was very young. As long as he is on the court, whether it's soccer, basketball, or anything else, there is a voice in his mind telling him what he should do."
"To think there is such a thing..."
Tiandao plays basketball smartly; who doesn't know that now?
But people couldn't have imagined that his basketball IQ would be high enough to be materialized?
"What happens after entering this state?"
"Probably even smarter?" Kise rubbed his head and said, "After Little Tiandao's second year of junior high, he rarely showed his monster, but every time it appeared, he could find the opponent's weaknesses."
"Whether it's individual offensive and defensive weaknesses or the team's overall tactical loopholes, none could escape his observation."
"At that time, he hadn't awakened the Six Eyes yet." Midorima also chimed in, saying, "No one knows what level his basketball IQ would evolve to after awakening the Six Eyes."
The only thing they could be certain of was that at this moment, Tiandao's dominance on the court was even more formidable.
Under the observation of the Six Eyes, that monster could tell Tiandao more information.
"Even to the point that nothing can escape his eyes."
Boom!
The basketball hit the floor heavily.
The power that broke the limit forced Aomine to let go; he didn't force a struggle with Tiandao.
"Rebound!"
Players from both sides shouted simultaneously; did this count as a rebound?
They weren't sure either, but everyone was shouting it.
Sakurai Ryo was closer and grabbed the rebounding basketball.
Yamazaki Hiroshi and the bad boys of Kirisaki Daiichi immediately swarmed over.
The mushroom-haired Sakurai Ryo was immediately scared into a cold sweat.
The fierce reputation of Kirisaki Daiichi was truly deafening.
Not sticking to the ball, he passed it back to Imayoshi Shoichi immediately after grabbing it.
The pass, which looked panicked, had no deviation in speed or accuracy.
Just like his shooting, it was fast and accurate.
But the moment he passed the ball, a monster composed of black flames appeared before him and revealed a smile at him.
"What is this..."
He felt his little heart thumping.
"Snap!"
The monster finally disappeared, replaced by Tiandao's slender figure, who intercepted the pass and sprinted toward the other half of the court.
"So fast, he was just under the basket!"
Imayoshi Shoichi broke into a cold sweat.
"Completely seen through—our tactics, playstyle, even every step of our actions."
This gave the Touou people the thought that this was impossible to play.
If your underwear was seen through, what use were even the most exquisite tactics?
Aomine didn't think so; he sprinted after Tiandao.
His formidable instinct also allowed him to discover the intention behind Sakurai Ryo's pass.
The two turned into black and white rays of light, entangled as they crossed the half-court.
One side exuded the aura of a wild beast, while the other moved in tandem with a monster.
One side was enhancing instinct, while the other was enhancing the brain.
Which was stronger and which was weaker would soon be revealed.
The monster leaned in by Tiandao's ear, whispering softly.
". Is that so? Is this enough?"
Tiandao muttered to himself, rushing past the three-point line again, and after a sudden stop, retreated to the three-point line like lightning.
Aomine, who had suffered once before, was prepared this time; he braked almost simultaneously, stepping down heavily to completely stop his body's momentum from full speed.
He saw Tiandao's motion of gathering the ball with both hands and jumped subconsciously.
As a result, Tiandao twisted his wrists extremely quickly, rushing past Aomine's left side with the ball.
"You're right, Aomine."
"Your light is too dim!"
Whoosh~
Tiandao leaned in to accelerate, crashing into the paint, and succeeded with a single-armed dunk again.
What was even more cocky was that the monster told him after the dunk that if he did this, his popularity would increase even more.
Thus, Tiandao released his hand from the rim, landed, turned around, and raised his right arm to hold up one finger.
"In heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one!"
Damn, so chuunibyou, I love it!
Cool!
The King of Cockiness 666666!
Ah, the kitty is so cool!
The barrage was, as expected, reaching a climax.
Sure enough, watching anime without these cocky lines really feels like something is missing.
Tiandao used to have the catchphrase "I am the strongest," which was hailed as a level of cockiness equal to Aomine's "The only one who can beat me is me."
This was like a character tag for them.
It couldn't be arranged randomly; it had to fit the character design and personality.
Today's line, "In heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one," served to deepen the audience's impression of his strength and dominance. ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
