Chapter 25: Cutting Thunder and Breaking Ice

The emergence of the Ice World instantly reversed the situation on the field.

Atobe had never felt so happy before, as if everything on the court was under his control.

Especially Yuu Kamishima.

After the breakthrough, he observed Shangshan You again and found that Shangshan You was no longer flawless.

on the contrary.

Ice spikes representing blind spots were inserted around Shang Shanyou. Those were blind spots that Shang Shanyou couldn't even reach!

Atobe was very satisfied with his evolved ability.

"Shang Shan, let me put an end to you right here!"

Atobe smiled wantonly and made a declaration to Uesugi Yu with great confidence.

After hearing what Atobe said, Uesugi Yu gave Atobe an inexplicable smile.

I can only say that you are worthy of it. Even if Atobe has truly entered the national level now, there is still a gap between him and him.

The game continues.

Obviously, having just scored this crucial goal, Tomokazu's confidence has increased greatly.

Boom!

…

There were hints of icy light in Atobe's deep eyes.

“I saw it again!”

His eyes are sharp, and with the teardrop mole on his right eye, they have a touch of beauty.

Step on...

He stepped to the spot where the tennis ball would land, and swung his racket with all his strength.

The tennis ball hit an ice ridge in the left half of the court of Shangshan You at a tricky angle.

Wow!

Ice crystals splashed everywhere, like mercury leaking on the ground, which was extremely beautiful.

When Atobe used the Ice World again, Uesugi Yuu felt his body stiffen and he couldn't move. Even if he used Water Breathing, it only alleviated the sluggishness of the Ice World.

However, this speed is obviously not enough to counter the faster shots made by Atobe after his evolution.

After all, the fact that the Ice World can still restrain him now is that his foundation has not reached a limit.

He still doesn't have the tennis quality that Yukimura had in the third grade, which was to see through everything and only see tennis itself.

Moreover, the water breathing is still some way from being perfected and cannot be performed at will.

Shang Shanyou's heart moved slightly, and he probably knew the limit of his current state.

But from another perspective, it may not be a bad thing.

Tebe now sees some of his flaws, many of which are indeed habits he has developed imperceptibly. Tebe did not see them before due to his strength, but now they can serve as a reference for him to constantly record and correct these flaws.

"30-40."

After scoring, Atobe became more excited, and then, he officially sounded the clarion call for a counterattack using the Ice World.

boom!

"40-40!"

boom!

…

boom!

Atobe then scored two more points and successfully broke the serve, winning the game back from Uesugi Yuu.

"Game, Atobe, 1-4!"

Looking at Uesugi Yuu who was gradually being suppressed by him , Atobe's eyes flashed with a sharp look and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Shangshan, it's coming! This time, let me defeat you in one fell swoop!"

Atobe tapped and patted the ball, then he held the tennis ball tightly in his left hand, bent his body, and lowered his knees. His whole body was tensed like a big curved bow.

"drink!"

Toss the ball and swing the racket!

Boom!

The tennis ball flew across the court at a furious speed.

The crisp sound of the ball hitting the ball made Uesugi Yuu frown slightly, as Atobe's actions just now seemed familiar to him.

That exaggerated serving posture seemed to imitate his own Eight-shaped Takitsubo.

"No! There's a difference in the way you swing the racket."

Uesugi Yu quickly rejected this answer in his mind, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes fixed on the tennis ball and froze slightly.

Super powerful backspin!

This serve of Atobe carried a backspin several times stronger than before.

Tap tap tap…

Shangshan You calmed down his mind, moved his body, and instantly arrived in front of the landing point of the tennis ball, leaving only a series of blue and white afterimages behind him.

Swish!

When the tennis ball hit the ground, it did not bounce as expected, but instead slid forward quickly along the ground.

As expected! This is Atobe's Tannhauser serve. No, it should be said that it is still just a prototype.

"It's not difficult to return the serve at this height." His thoughts raced as he realized that this serve was not perfect at all.

boom!

Yu Uesugi straightened the racket and, with his amazing dynamic vision, pulled up the tennis ball with the front end of the racket.

However.

Atobe had been waiting for a long time.

"Shangshan, I can see your blind spot clearly!"

With the same extremely fast pace, Tezuka caught up with the ball.

Boom!

Ice flowers burst.

Uesugi Yuu's body stiffened, and the tennis ball had already flown onto the wire mesh behind him.

"15-0"

All in one go.

As Uesugi Yuu watched Atobe's series of attacks, this word flashed through his mind.

Even the strong downward spin characteristic he discovered earlier was made up for in his serve. The appearance of Tang Huaiser's serve just now was an attempt by Atobe.

It seems that although Tsuchiya has just entered the national team, he has rapidly absorbed his previous accumulation and developed a very strong offensive tennis.

There is really no opponent who can really enter the national level that is easy to deal with.

Phew~

Then, come again!

Uesugi Yu adjusted his breathing. There was still time before Atobe became completely familiar with the ice world.

Both of them were in a heated mood. At this point, they couldn't stop fighting until the winner was decided.

Boom!

…

"Game, Atobe, 2-4!"

Boom!

…

"Gmae, Atobe, 3-4!"

…

In the next two games, Tobe was unstoppable, and the Ice World combined with the gradually taking shape of Tannhäuser's serve directly won the two games.

He became more and more proficient in controlling the world of ice, and even Ueyama Yu felt a bone-chilling chill on the court.

This unique skill of combining insight with mental power has been completely mastered by Tsuchiya!

"about there!"

Shang Shanyou exhaled a breath of hot air. He looked at the heavy breathing of Atobe across from him and whispered softly.

The continuous and intensive use of the Ice World was quite a burden for Tezuka. At this time, his mental strength was not as strong as it was in the third grade.

Moreover, he even used small steps with his feet, which he never used normally.

Uesugi Yuu glanced at Atobe's gently jumping toes and probably guessed that Atobe had almost reached his limit.

"So……

Let me end this match! I have never forgotten Hyotei's strongest promise.

In the whole collection... Breath of Thunder ..."

Uesugi Yuu recalled his conversation with Ochi Gekko.

Threads of air rushed into Shangshanyou's lungs at high speed, and a large amount of oxygen circulated throughout his body through his blood. This perfect level of thunder roar immediately swept away his fatigue.

The tingling sensation began to stimulate the muscles throughout the body.

Atobe's serve.

Snap…Snap…

Atobe tapped the tennis ball gently a few times, and the swelling on his temple made him feel very uncomfortable.

He looked solemnly at Shangshan You, who was much more relaxed than him. At this time, he also understood that Shangshan You had entered the national level earlier than him and naturally knew more about such moves.

Although he won the first two games, the entanglement with Yu Kamishima in the middle process forced him to score every ball through the Ice World, which consumed even more energy.

So much so that later on, in order to keep up with Shang Shangshan You's pace, he even used the basic small steps that he rarely used.

This was also the first time that Mr. Atobe understood what it felt like when the opponent had better physical strength than him.

It’s so uncomfortable!

"But... the game isn't over yet, how can I fall down like this!" Atobe gritted his teeth and raised his delicate eyebrows slightly.

boom!

Tannhauser serves!

Learning from the low-to-the-ground backspin shots and Uesugi Yu's serve, Atobe has gradually found the key to this serve.

After the tennis ball landed on the ground, it left a straight yellow shadow.

Then.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and like a flash of lightning, a white light flashed by at the feet of Tobe.

Atobe's eyes widened, and his originally light and basic steps suddenly came to a halt.
