Ochi Gekko still stared at Kamisama Yu with the same expression, as if that horrible serve just now was not hit by him.

The indifferent look is enough to put great pressure on ordinary opponents.

“Boom!”

Another white light flashed by.

"30-0"

…

"40-0"

…

Akiba Hongye looked at Shangshan You who still didn't give up, and couldn't help but worry about him.

I don't know if it will directly destroy his confidence.

Unlike the two people outside the field, Yuchi's eyes flashed when he turned around.

"But, is this all your strength?"

"Uesugi Yuu..."

Although he recognized Yu Kamishima's will, if he couldn't react to his Mach serve at 70% of its speed, then he might not be good enough.

Boom!

"Game, Ochi, 1-1."

…

“Hoo…Hoo…”

Although he didn't catch the ball, it seemed that Uesugi Yu had consumed more energy than in the first game.

In order to keep up with Mach's serve, all his attention was fixed on Ochi Gekko's racket back and forth.

He unconsciously performed the Thunder Breathing Technique in his chest, just to adapt to the speed that exceeded the human body's reaction.

"Hey, hey, Shangshan kid, cheer up!"

Suddenly, Hakamada Izo, who was outside the field, waved his hands and shouted.

He was afraid that Shangshan You would lose his fighting spirit after being beaten by his own captain.

After all, no matter how you look at it, if they can bring Uesugi Yu to Hyotei, the graduating third-year students will be able to leave with peace of mind.

“Hey, hey, don’t worry, Hakamada-senpai. I won’t fall down like this.”

"Indeed, you are worthy of being Ochi-senpai, you are really strong!"

There was a cheerful smile on Shangshanyou's handsome face, and he didn't show any frustration at not scoring a single point just now.

His expression made the three of them feel relieved. It seemed that Shangshan You's mentality was still very strong.

"Ochi-senpai, please continue~"

Shang Shanyou greeted him, then took out a tennis ball from his trouser pocket and started hitting it slowly.

"It seems that there is no chance at all if we don't use the breathing method."

Shangshan You thought silently in his heart.

Although his basic abilities are outstanding, when he reaches the level of Ochi Gekko, his foundation must be no worse than that of Kamisama Yuu.

If I want to continue fighting, then...

"hiss……"

"Full concentration... Breath of Thunder..."

boom!

The tennis ball was like a bolt of lightning, crossing one side of the court and then flying past Ochi Gekko.

"So fast!"

The orange-yellow eyes of Yuezhi Yueguang narrowed. This speed was a bit like Mach's serve.

He hadn't used his full strength yet!

The corners of Yuezhi Yueguang's mouth twitched slightly, and he found that Shangshan You was giving him more and more surprises.

"Hongye, did you see clearly just now?"

Hakamada Izo felt that his world view was refreshed again, and asked Akiba Momiji.

"I can only see a vague shadow. It seems that he was hiding his abilities before."

Qiu Ting Hongye shook her head, indicating that she couldn't see clearly either.

"Hahaha, this is getting more and more interesting. I feel like this kid is definitely hiding something else."

Hakamada Izo said excitedly. Watching the two people playing on the sidelines, he felt his hands itching.

Not caring about other people's surprise, Shangshan You just felt that his breathing was becoming smoother and more comfortable.

Boom!

Two figures ran across the court.

With the blessing of Lei Hu, Shangshan You's five dimensions crossed the boundary and began to fight back and forth with Yuezhi Yueguang.

Since Yuezhi Gekkou was stronger than him, he relied skills and speed to break him down.

However, Yuezhi Yueguang remained completely unmoved by all the maneuvers and calculations made by Shangshan You, and firmly held the strategy of counterattacking from the bottom line.

The game of tennis is all about taking advantage of your opponent's strengths, attacking his weaknesses, and keeping your own rhythm.

And as you fight, your opponent will find that all your weaknesses have become strengths, and then you will be invincible, just like Echizen Nanjiro in the past.

In such a fierce confrontation, the score between the two sides became deadlocked again.

"15-15"

…

Boom!

"30-15"

…

"40-15"

…

Boom!

"40-30"

However.

Shangshanyou's clothes were soon soaked with sweat.

His physical energy consumption is far greater than that of Yuezhi Yuekou.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it's all about the difference in physical development caused by age.

He used breathing techniques to mobilize his physical fitness, but after all, his body was not as fully grown as Ochi Gekko's.

but.

How can I give up!

…

"Chance!"

Kamisama Yuu looked at Ochi Gekkou, who was finally forced by him to go online, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"hiss……"

"Full Collection... Breath of the Wind..."

A different kind of whirlwind was created by him.

Swing the racket.

One cut.

"Wind Style: Slash!"

A vortex of wind surged up from the racket, wrapped around the tennis ball and rushed towards Ochi Moonlight at a fast and fierce speed.

"This is!"

Ochi Gekko was startled. Facing this extremely fast cut, he did not hesitate. He lowered his center of gravity, held the racket perpendicular to the ground, and prepared to hit the volley.

He had guessed that this ball might be one of Ueyama Yu's special moves, so directly catching it was certainly not the best solution.

The safest method is to let the ball bounce once on the ground and then intercept it quickly.

However, Ochi Gekko still underestimated the cutting move of Ueyama Yu.

After Ueyama Yu forcibly transformed from Thunder Call to Wind Call, the power of this move transformed from Wind Call was naturally extraordinary.

The moment the tennis ball hit the ground, a strong wind vortex rotated, bringing up whirlwinds, and that was the moment when Ochi Moonlight intercepted the ball.

"collapse!"

…

Several sounds of breaking strings were heard, and the vortex was like a sharp cut, directly breaking Ochi Gekko's racket.

The tennis ball hit the edge of the string and flew straight out of bounds.

"G, game, Kamisama Yuu, 2-1."

With the sound of Akiba Momiji trembling slightly, Uesugi Yuu once again saved his serve.

Ochi Gekko also stopped playing tennis. He looked at his racket which looked like it had been cut, and remained silent.

"What's this move called!"

After a pause, he looked down at Shangshanyou who was really breathing heavily and asked.

"Wind Style: Slashing."

Uesugi Yu wiped the sweat from his face with his wrist guard, raised his head and spoke softly.

"Well...keep going!"

Ochi Gekko nodded, then walked to the side of the court to get his spare racket.

"Captain~"

When passing by Hakamada Izo, Hakamada couldn't help but want to say something.

"Hakamada!"

Ochi Gekkou stopped and spoke in a low voice with a very serious tone.

"Yes!" Hakamada Izo's expression was also extremely serious.

"Watch this game carefully. You and Hongye's journey shouldn't stop here."

"Um!"

Looking at the tall figure of Ochi walking back to the court, he clenched his fists tightly.

Originally, I was just in the mood to watch a show.

However, the stimulation Shangshan You gave him today was more than what he had received in his three years of junior high school combined.

When did he start to slack off? Become a regular in Hyotei? Make it to the top four in the country?

Although they brought Hyotei's tennis to its best result, if he had been stronger at the time, he might have had a chance to go further.

Isn't it because Mu Zhiteng has three national-level achievements that he was able to win the national championship consecutively?

Shangshan You's performance in the next game really woke him up from his somewhat complacent heart.

…

On the court, the game continues.

Boom!

"15-0"

Swelling

"30-0"

…

"Game, Ochi Moonlight, 2-2."

Still so simple and unpretentious, Ochi Gekko easily won the game with Mach's serve.

continue!

Uesugi Yu gritted his teeth and continued to use Lei Hu to fight against Yue Zhi Gekkou.

…

"Game, Ochi Moonlight, 3-2."

"Game, Ochi Moonlight, 4-2."

…

“Huff…Huff…”

Uesugi Yuu felt as if his lungs were about to explode.

A breathing method that is not fully mastered will bring deep pain and fatigue after passion.

"Isn't it too much of a stretch?"

Shangshanyou stretched out his right hand and clenched it in front of his eyes.

The score now is 5-3. Even though he stole a game by relying on calculations and Wind Type 1: Slash, he was still perfectly suppressed by Ochi Gekko.

When Mach served the ball, he could only calculate the landing point, but his body could not keep up.

Simply put, the brain knows it, but the body is too late.

This is the last ball.

"How ruthless!"

Looking at Ochi Gekko, who was only sweating slightly and had a calm and composed look on his face, Uesugi Yuu couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder he is called a mental assassin. This invisible indifferent pressure from the entire audience, coupled with mental suggestion, is indeed terrifyingly strong.

He hasn't used a mind assassination on me in this game.

Only then did Uesugi Yuu truly feel how strong the top players of the previous session were.

This is the case with Ochi Gekko, so what about Byodoin Temple...

"call…"

Don't think about anything else, just the last ball...

Use that trick...

After adjusting his breathing, Shangshan You planned to give this icy-faced man a surprise.

Ochi Gekko looked at Ueyama Yu who stood up again and nodded. He already recognized Ueyama Yu's will.

Even in the later rounds, he no longer regarded him as a junior, but an opponent.

Enviable tennis quality.

Yuezhi Yueguang looked at the somewhat embarrassed boy.

Boom!
