Chapter 90: The New Kyushu Duo
"Hmm? I actually made a breakthrough..."
As he walked off the court, Shang Shanyou breathed in and out, sensing that his water breathing had been perfected. He focused his attention a little, and a feeling of fullness and comfort came from every cell in his body.
With every breath he felt a surge of abundant power flowing from his chest to his limbs. Unlike the tearing and explosion when he was breathing thunder, breathing water made him feel mellow and endurable.
After saying hello to Ji Dan and the others, Uesugi Yuu went to sit at the end of the line alone.
With a slight movement of his mind, the system panel that he had not seen for a long time appeared in his mind.
Uesugi
Five Dimensions
Power: 4.4
Speed: 4.7
Stamina: 4.5
Tips: 4.1
Mental: 5.9
Breathing of Thunder·Always hit (32%), Breathing of Water (100%), Breathing of Wind (94%), Sweet Spot Technique (54%).
The improvement in all aspects is huge. My physical fitness alone is about to reach the top of the national level. And my wind breathing is also about to be perfected. Then I can try more sword moves.
I believe that as long as he can make further progress in his practice of Breathing of Thunder, his basic qualities will definitely be able to reach the limit and touch the barrier leading to the world.
"Don't be impatient...don't be impatient..."
Uesugi Yu suppressed the joy in his heart. He still had two years left. For now, he had to proceed step by step according to his own plan. If he wanted to reach the pinnacle of tennis, he couldn't afford to get injured just because of greed for temporary success.
Although the optimization training given by the system panel is slower, it is much better than the method of compressing cell lifespan in Demon Slayer.
What's more, there is also a special path in the world of Prince of Tennis. As long as he slowly combines the two, it is very likely that his tennis quality will eventually reach the ultimate.
Yu Uesugi was quietly calming down and thinking about his future path, while a new game off the court was about to begin.
"Next, the doubles match number two will begin, with Hyotei Academy's Mukaito and Shishido Ryo facing off against Shishiraku Junior High School's Kippei Tachibana and Chitose Chisato."
"Hoo~ Let's go, Xiangri!"
Taking a long breath, Shishido Ryo spoke to Xiang Hi beside him with determination.
"Um……"
Xiangri Yueren also put away his usual lively attitude and his face was full of calmness. He also wanted to see where they were behind the national level freshmen on the other side.
"Is it okay to arrange them like this?"
Kaida Nobuyuki stood beside Atobe, with a trace of pity on his face.
If they were assigned to doubles one, then even if Mukai and Shishido lost to the doubles team of seniors, would they feel better?
"It doesn't matter, this is what they have to face."
Atobe waved his hand gently, interrupting Kaida Nobuyuki's words, his face full of calmness.
If they don’t even have the courage to face their peers, then how can they be qualified to reach the top with him and Shangshan.
Atobe did not give such an explanation, and Kaida Nobuyuki and the others still lacked a lot in vision and pattern.
"If you don't have the strength to be strong, you must cultivate a heart that longs to pursue the strong."
Atobe crossed his arms across his chest, staring sharply at the backs of Takehito Mukai and Ryo Shishido, with a different aura rising from him.
…
the other side.
Minister Fuwa Tetsutsumi's initial defeat still cast a shadow on everyone at Shizile Middle School.
Their so-called "quick attack tactics" had already failed before they even started. They could only win by seizing the remaining two singles matches.
"Chitose, let's go!"
As if trying to break the gloom of the first defeat, Tachibana Jiping spoke in a loud voice with an unrivaled aura.
"Okay, let's go!"
Qiansui Qianli also smiled heroically, and the two crossed their arms, clasped their palms together, and a confident and strong aura returned to the Kyushu lion.
Fuwa Tieren looked at the two's actions and felt very pleased. Even though their life ended regretfully again this time, the spiritual heritage of their Shizile was preserved.
…
Off the court.
Both sides shook hands with high morale.
The two players from Hyotei wanted to see their limits and the gap between them, while the two players from Shizile wanted to regain their momentum and wipe out the gloom from the first set.
"The match begins, Hyotei Academy serves to Hitaketo and Shishido Ryo."
After guessing the side, Hyotei got the first chance to serve.
Shishido Ryo and Mukai Gakuto looked at each other and nodded slightly. According to their later training, they might not be unable to fight.
The two sides lined up.
Mukaitsu Gakuto and Shishido Ryo stood one in front of the other, almost in a straight line.
"That's... the Australian formation"
Qiansui Qianli's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the other side had made a lot of preparations.
"It's time to go~"
Shishido Ryo shouted softly from the serving line in the backcourt, and at the same time, his peripheral vision caught sight of Mukaito Taketo's small movements with his left hand behind his back.
Swish~
He gently threw the tennis ball forward, then stepped forward with one foot, and his whole body moved as if to sprint forward.
With the explosive force of a super volley, he swung his arm forward with force.
boom!
There was a loud bang from the racket, and Shishido Ryo's serving trick, which he had practiced for a long time, appeared on the court for the first time.
"What a strong sprinting power, well done~"
Tap tap tap…
Ju Jiping exclaimed softly, his deep eyes lit up slightly, and he ran towards the point where the tennis ball landed. He didn't expect that there was anyone in Hyotei who could serve with such momentum.
Drink
With a light shout, Tachibana Yoshihei burst out with great momentum. He was not afraid of Shishido Ryo's sprint serve at all. He swung the racket with one hand towards the tennis ball.
snort~
A teeth-grinding friction sound was heard on the racket, and waves of impact came from the tennis ball trying to break free from the racket's constraints.
“Haha~ get over here!”
After just a moment, Tachibana Jiping laughed loudly, his arms were like rocks, and he pushed the tennis ball back with his body pressed forward.
Boom!
With a roar, the tennis ball flew back diagonally with a hint of anger.
"good chance!"
Xiangri, who guided the ball path through the Australian formation, had an idea in his mind, and Tachibana Jiping's ball hit the area in front of the net where he was defending.
He pushed the ground with one hand, and his excellent jumping ability allowed him to do a somersault. The racket strangely stretched out from the gap in the somersault and accurately intercepted Ju Jiping's shot.
However……
Before Xiangri Yueren could feel proud, a heavy force came from the racket.
"Good weight!"
Xiangri's wrist trembled slightly. If he had not undergone intensive training before, he might not be able to block such a heavy blow during the stunt ball.
Snapped!
After the force was dissipated by three points, Xiangri turned his wrist and cut the tennis ball towards the boundary .
“I succeeded!”
Looking at the ball at a tricky angle, a look of joy appeared on Xiangri Yueren's face.
pity……
Boom!
What immediately responded to him was a slender figure.
Chitose Chisato had jumped to the front of the net at some point, and Xiangri's rare chance ball revealed the flaw in Australia's formation.
The tennis ball exploded in the middle of the court between Mukaito and Shishido Ryo. The duo of Shishiraku scored the first point.
"15-0"
"Haha...I'm also very familiar with the Australian formation."
With a slight smile on her face, Chitose Chisato looked at Mukai Taketo who was squatting in front of the net and said.
For a moment, Xiangri Yueren only felt a heavy pressure coming towards him.
"Is this a national-level doubles match?"
Xiangri's heart trembled a little. With just one ball back and forth, Shishido and his tricks were all seen through.
