Chapter 39: Unprecedented Showdown
Neon U17 Base.
Ss ...
A slight breeze blew, stirring up the dust on the court.
"Game, Byodoin Phoenix, 1-1"
"Exchange venues!"
The referee's voice made the two people on the field stop fighting temporarily. The fierce battle site slowly emerged in front of everyone.
"This ghost Jujiro is so strong, how come I have never heard of him before..."
"Okayama Oh Junior High School..."
…
The high school freshmen who came from various regions were all shocked.
Just from the performance just now, the high school student on the opposite side with a somewhat old-fashioned face showed a strength that is not inferior to that of the Equal Phoenix Academy.
"Taneshima-kun, what do you think..."
Irie stared at the two people on the field, his eyes gleaming with a different light, his face no longer had the usual smile, and looked very serious.
"Very strong... I have to say without any hesitation that this ghost Jujiro completely crushes me in terms of physical fitness."
Tanedima's face was very cautious. He had fought against the Byodoin Phoenix before. Even though he had the inhuman talent of "Nothingness", he was still no match for Byodoin.
To deal with him, Byodoin only needed to be slightly careful and break his defense by being physically stronger than him. And now, he had seen another guy who was not inferior to Byodoin.
"Sure enough, it was the right decision to accept the invitation. This place is very dangerous."
Shuji Tanejima felt a little numb inside. After staying in this U17 base for more than a month, he learned more things that he was not clear about before.
What World Cup games, what Neon team's ranking is...including the direction of their future improvement.
"Irie, we are teammates now, so you can stop acting in front of me."
Zhongdao glanced at the harmless boy with round-framed glasses next to him and said helplessly.
Irie's spiritual talent is no worse than Ochi Gekko's, and he also possesses extremely strong insight, but his tennis style seems to be developing in a strange direction.
If he hadn't fought with him a few days ago, Zhongdao would not have known that there was such a master hidden among their group.
"Haha... As expected of Taneshima-kun, who is among the top three in the country, you saw through my acting skills at a glance." Irie chuckled, but did not respond to Taneshima's words.
This game...
The two of them had some guesses in their hearts. Not long ago, these outstanding newcomers were assigned opponents of similar levels.
It seems that the coach of the U17 base is not a kind person.
It is certainly no coincidence that Kijujiro can now face off against Byodoin Temple, the best temple in the country.
"Heh...those seniors in the third year of high school are really in a mess." Glancing at the stands, Toono licked his lips lightly and said with some disdain.
While they hadn't even left the court yet, the group of trash who were known as the elites of the base had already run to the platform.
"They should have seen the power of that ghost, but it doesn't matter. Once the boss takes care of that ghost, these old people will just be minor problems."
Wu Gu said very calmly that as they came from the two consecutive overlords Mu Zhiteng, they would naturally not obediently be inferior to others, especially a group of seniors with no real strength.
Now, as long as Byodoin gets the right to speak here, others will naturally obey them.
On the court.
Byodoin Phoenix and Oni Jujiro looked at each other from a distance, excitement flashing in their eyes.
Byodoin has dominated the junior high school for two years and has no rivals. With the blessings of the children, Onijūjirō aspires to become the best in Japan.
Both of them saw the will and determination in each other's eyes, which were things that only people of the same kind had. This game had to be decided.
The competition became increasingly intense.
Boom!
"2-1"
Boom!
"2-2"
Neither of them gave in, and the more they fought, the more shocked they became.
"Very good, interesting... Well then, the warm-up is over, let's get serious."
Byodoin's eyes were sharp and there was a hint of a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
boom!
What responded to him was a powerful and heavy shot from the ghost.
Step…Step…
Byodoin caught up with him in a blink of an eye with brisk steps. He was already completely familiar with this kind of confrontation.
"Scattered...American Pirates!"
Byodoin chuckled softly, and with a flick of his wrist he forcefully knocked back the ghost's backhanded slice.
The tennis ball was extremely fast and fell directly to the ground.
Boom!
The moment it landed, the tennis ball exploded into seven different ball shadows that scattered in all directions.
This is one of the tricks that made Byodoin famous in middle school: American Pirate!
Faced with this extraordinary goal, Onijujiro was not at all panicked.
“Good job!”
The ghost growled, and then he swung at the seven scattered ball shadows one by one like a madman. The terrifying speed directly left a trail of afterimages in the air...
This shocking scene made several people outside the venue open their eyes wide.
No more than three of them could receive this move of Byodoin, and it had to be done before the tennis ball hit the ground. Otherwise, even Zhongdao's Wu would not be able to offset seven ball paths at the same time.
But Oni Jujiro doesn't care about any skills at all. He can break everything with one force. If you have seven tennis balls, I will hit them all back.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Seven yellow rays of light passed through the smoke and dust and returned to Byodoin Temple once again, as if Byodoin Temple had been prepared and had already reached the tennis court.
His arms and racket were raised as if with some special rhythm, and afterimages appeared on both of his hands, making people who saw them look blurry.
"Indian snake charmer!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
A series of sounds were heard, and the tennis balls were hit back again.
whoosh!
Several different rays of light hit the ghost's right baseline.
"Hey, referee, it's 3-2..."
Byodoin shook her short light blonde hair and spoke to the referee who was still a little confused.
"Oh...oh...game, Byodoin Phoenix, 3-2."
The referee realized it later and announced it quickly.
The tennis played by the two was beyond the level of normal people. The power of each stroke raised a large amount of smoke and dust, making it impossible for him to judge the result at the first time.
The game continues.
After Byodoin used his special skills, he took the lead again.
sough……
Kijujiro's expression remained indifferent. The opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. A faint light gradually appeared on his body.
"Your struggle ends here!"
Boom!
Byodoin laughed loudly and hit a tennis ball with terrifying power.
Then.
What responded to him was still a stream of yellow light. Kijujiro never talked nonsense.
"Heh ... Indian snake charmer!"
Byodoin laughed softly, and strange change balls fell like rain again.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
A series of ball shadows rushed forward, raising trails of dust on the ghost's field.
Byodoin showed no mercy and continued to use its top skills to seize the initiative in the game.
Boom!
Byodoin once again served at high speed.
Boom!
The ghost didn't give in at all.
then.
"Indian snake charmer..."
This time, Kijujiro did not hesitate. He took a big step with his left foot, and his body left several afterimages, attacking back one by one.
“It’s really difficult!”
Byodoin looked solemn, his favorite moves were all broken in just a few shots.
The two of them once again started to fight at the baseline. At this moment, there was no skill involved, only a collision of strength and speed.
One minute... Two minutes...
The entire tennis court was bombarded to pieces.
In such a confrontation, the faint light on Kijujiro's body became more obvious.
No longer waiting, he was ready to break through first!
Step…Step…
Kijujiro stepped back slightly with his left foot, gritted his teeth, and moved the center of gravity of his entire body to the left.
"Drink it~"
Holding the racket tightly with both hands, the ghost shouted loudly, the muscles in his arms bulged, and the hideous blue veins kept popping out under his skin. The racket seemed to be covered with a layer of black flames, and he swung it heavily.
"Black Battle Axe!"
"boom!"
The tennis ball was stained with a layer of dim light, and a huge vibration sound was heard, shaking the entire court.
"coming!"
The group of seniors hiding on the platform looked at Oni Jujiro below with fear on their faces.
The horrible memory that this man brought to them two months ago reappeared in their minds. The entire team on the third court was wiped out, and two people in the NO sequence were seriously injured.
This man who is like a ghost or god possesses unrivaled power!
Boom…Boom…
The tennis ball was like a sharp black battle axe, rolling with a turbulent wave of air and smashing towards Byodoin Temple.
He, Oni Jujiro, has a reason not to lose!
Byodoin's eyes were solemn, but there was no fear at all. He strode forward, waving his racket to meet the enemy.
“Shh… shhh…”
The tennis ball rubbed against the net crazily, and a terrifying force came from the racket. Even his wrist, which was as steady as a rock, felt a huge pain.
"Drink~ Come over here!"
Byodoin roared, and exerted force with his arms again, trying to hit back the ball.
The next moment...
Bang...Boom!
The racket broke suddenly, and the tennis ball penetrated the net and hit the wall of the stands behind with undiminished force.
A cloud of dust rose up, and a broken spherical area appeared on the wall.
“1…15-0!”
The referee looked at Kijujiro with a timid look, then announced with a slight tremor in his voice.
"Can people really catch these balls?"
Kaji Fuuda's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the terrifying figure with long crimson hair with some horror.
Although everyone knows that power-type tennis players are very difficult to deal with when they are strong to a certain extent.
But you are to this extent...
Kirishima and Toono were equally shocked. They couldn't believe that their invincible boss had his racket broken by someone else.
That ghost Jujiro...
No matter what the result of the game is, this guy is not someone they can afford to mess with.
This kind of power is no longer a problem that can be solved by ordinary skills. Didn’t you see that even the Byodoin Phoenix had its racket broken?
Byodoin on the court remained silent, walked off the court to change a racket, and then walked back up.
The force just now was enough to penetrate his racket directly. He couldn't bear it until he found a solution!
On the other side, Ida Naner, who saw this scene, was somewhat excited.
"I don't know if the man's spring can block that ball just now."
As the representative of the strongest force in junior high school, there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes when he looked at Gui.
Boom!
Boom!
The two men on the court started fighting again. From time to time, one or two of Byodoin's special skills could be seen, and occasionally the roar of Onijūjiro could be heard in the smoke.
The black battle axe destroyed the ground and made it full of pits.
"3-3"
"4-3"
…
"5-4"
…
Kijujiro successfully broke through with the help of the world-class black battle axe, and directly forced Byodoin into a desperate situation.
Although the two were sweating profusely, in the eyes of the people outside the venue, they were no longer on the same level as them.
"Very good, you are the first one who can force me to this point..." Byodoin wiped the sweat off his face, stared at Kijujiro with sharp eyes, and said with clenched teeth.
In all these years, only the oni Jujiro in front of him could fight him to this extent. Neither Ochi Gekko from junior high school nor Tanejima Shuji could.
"snort!"
Kijujiro snorted coldly and did not respond. The court does not need too much nonsense, tennis is the best response.
Boom!
The tennis ball turned into a stream of light again and came at the speed of tearing through the air.
Swish!
Byodoin stepped sideways, the racket pointed downward, and made a delicate diagonal cut.
The tennis ball meanders away like a nimble little snake.
The ghost did not dare to be careless, as Byodoin's skills were far superior to his.
"Drink... Black-Colored Battle Axe!"
boom!
Another terrifying black light responded to Byodoin.
The battle axe's momentum is unmatched, as if it can tear everything apart.
However.
This time, Byodoin did not retreat. A hint of triumphant smile flashed across his lips. He swung the racket in his hand and hit it steadily.
Tsk…tsk…
Even though it was still strenuous, this time it did not reach the limit of Byodoin.
whoosh!
The tennis ball blasted back with nearly as much force.
"Found it, the sweet spot of tennis!"
Byodoin smiled coldly. How could Byodoin Phoenix lose?
"15-0"
Boom!
Boom!
Next, Byodoin seemed to have found the feeling and fought back with increasing force, and even the ghosts were extremely surprised.
"This guy's power is getting stronger!"
Gui took a deep look at Byodoin Phoenix. This opponent was absolutely strong in terms of technique, strength and mentality.
boom!
With Byodoin's clever shot, the score was tied and the tiebreak began!
