boom!
"40-0!"
boom!
"1-0, Chen Anxia of Seigaku wins this match, and the two players exchange service games."
Although Chen Anxia is now famous, in the hearts of the members of Shitenhoji, their captain, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who is known as the 'Tennis Bible', is the epitome of invincibility.
But now, Shiraishi Kuranosuke is completely unable to defend against Chen Anxia's bullet serve.
This fact was hard for them to accept, and it was the first time they had truly felt the terror of the person named Chen Anxia.
In their eyes, Chen Anxia's figure was constantly growing taller, standing at a high place looking down on them, bringing them an indescribable sense of oppression.
Under this oppressive atmosphere, they all unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and felt as if they were bound by invisible shackles, making them feel restricted and heavy.
Among them, Chitose Senri, one of the two heroes of Kyushu, couldn't help but murmur, "Is this... Seigaku's King?"
In the arena, the sense of oppression felt by Shiraishi Kuranosuke was far more intense than that of the others.
This oppressive feeling even made Shiraishi Kuranosuke feel suffocated.
At this moment, in Shiraishi Kuranosuke's eyes, Chen Anxia was like a whirlpool in the ocean—mysterious, profound, terrifying, and of unknown depth.
No one knows what it contains, but everyone knows it is extremely dangerous, and that once you get involved, you will hardly escape.
However, Shiraishi Kuranosuke not only had to face the vortex head-on, but also had to find ways to overcome it, which put Shiraishi Kuranosuke under unimaginable pressure.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke didn't know if the current speed of Chen Anxia's serve was the limit, or if Chen Anxia had never even shown his limit.
But Shiraishi Kuranosuke knew that he had no chance of receiving Chen Anxia's bullet serve in this match.
Because of the short time and number of serves, it was impossible for Shiraishi Kuranosuke to adapt to this speed of serve.
It should be noted that Shiraishi Kuranosuke had undergone a period of grueling training in order to adapt to the speed of the bullet serve that Chen Anxia had used in his previous match against Akutsu Jin.
That is how they were able to adapt.
Therefore, Shiraishi Kuranosuke knew that if he wanted to win this match, he couldn't let Chen Anxia take his serve again.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke knew very well that even for Chen Anxia, hitting a bullet serve with that kind of ball speed would require a lot of physical exertion.
Therefore, as long as he and Chen Anxia engage in a prolonged, back-and-forth battle, Chen Anxia will eventually run out of energy and be unable to deliver that kind of high-speed serve.
Only when it reaches that point will I have a chance to win.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi never imagined that the competition had only just begun, and he would already be in a difficult or even desperate situation.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Shiraishi Kuranosuke will not give up.
Thinking it over, Shiraishi Kuranosuke took a deep breath, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
Then, Kuranosuke Shiraishi delivered his perfect, bible serve.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had noticed something, but his body did not hesitate and went directly to the landing point.
Then, Chen Anxia returned the ball directly with a normal return shot.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke knew that Chen Anxia possessed a variety of incredibly powerful and unbelievable return shots, but after seeing that Chen Anxia had returned an ordinary return shot, he frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Naturally, Shiraishi Kuranosuke could easily return Chen Anxia's ordinary return shot.
Under these circumstances, the two sides entered into an unexpected yet predictable stalemate.
In this close match, Kuranosuke Shiraishi perfectly demonstrated to the world what the 'tennis bible' truly is.
In Chen Anxia's eyes, Shiraishi Kuranosuke did not make a single unnecessary move in this close match, and his technique was perfect. He was often able to hit the most powerful return shot with the least amount of effort.
This is very similar to the data model in Chen Anxia's mind; both exist for the sake of perfection.
But Chen Anxia knew that Shiraishi Kuranosuke did not have a data model in his mind; rather, it was an instinct that he had etched perfection into his body.
To achieve this, in addition to talent, one needs to train day and night, and to integrate tennis into one's very being.
Even Chen Anxia had to admit that Shiraishi Kuranosuke was the most technically perfect opponent he had ever encountered.
However, as Chen Anxia said, there is no absolute perfection in this world; all perfection is only relative...
In the midst of the stalemate, Shiraishi Kuranosuke suddenly saw a glimmer of opportunity for Chen Anxia.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shiraishi Kuranosuke perfectly and precisely hit the ball to Chen Anxia's opportune moment.
Shitenhoji faction.
The members of Shitenhoji couldn't help but show their joy after seeing the shot hit by Kuranosuke Shiraishi.
In their view, Shiraishi Kuranosuke was bound to score on this ball, because Chen Anxia simply wouldn't have time to receive it.
This fact also provided some relief to their heavy and suppressed feelings because of Chen Anxia.
At the same time, they regained their faith in Kuranosuke Shiraishi.
But the joy on their faces had barely begun to show before it suddenly froze.
Because Chen Anxia, who was at the net just a second ago, suddenly appeared at the landing point, as if he had teleported, and was even already in position to receive the ball.
They didn't understand what had happened, and they were even more baffled as to how Chen Anxia had managed to move as if by teleportation.
Because they didn't understand, their fear of Chen Anxia intensified.
On the other side, the Seigaku camp.
Fuji Syusuke's eyes were now fully open, revealing an extremely serious expression.
Just now, although Fuji Syusuke's gaze was not completely focused on Chen Anxia, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Chen Anxia took a step back.
Immediately, Chen Anxia appeared at the landing point as if he had teleported.
Fuji Syusuke didn't know how Chen Anxia had done it, but as if he had remembered something, he muttered to himself, "This is... the Shrinking Earth Technique, and it's Kite Eishiro's all-around Shrinking Earth Technique..."
In the arena, after his initial shock, Shiraishi Kuranosuke seemed to have realized something, and his expression became extremely solemn.
Just as Shiraishi Kuranosuke was ready to receive the ball, Chen Anxia's undeniable and powerful voice rang out, "You can't catch this ball!"
"Kuranosuke Shiraishi, I've seen through your blind spot!"
......
boom!
"The score is 6-0, and Chen Anxia from Seigaku has won this match!"
As predicted by Inui Sadaharu, Fuji Syusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu won the next two matches, thus securing Seigaku's victory.
Finally, the national finals are about to begin!
......
Chapter 352 The Final Showdown, Another Chen Anxia! (Please Subscribe!)
The national finals are approaching.
Seigaku's opponent in the finals is the uncrowned king of junior high school tennis in the island nation, namely Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, which has won the national championship for two consecutive years.
Although Rikkai lost to Seigaku in the final of the Kanto Tournament, this does not mean that Rikkai will lose to Seigaku in the final of the National Tournament.
This is the consensus of the vast majority of people, even Seigaku believes so.
The reason for this is that the core figure of Rikkai University has returned.
This key figure is none other than Yukimura Seiichi, who is known as the 'Child of God'.
Rikkai University with Seiichi Yukimura is not comparable to Rikkai University without him.
Yukimura Seiichi is like the anchor of Rikkai University; as long as he is there, Rikkai University's morale and mentality will not be affected.
Naturally, Rikkai members will be able to better demonstrate their abilities, and may even be able to unleash their full potential.
No university can be certain of victory against Rikkai University.
Although Chen Anxia has recently gained great fame and has defeated many national-level masters, people are not optimistic about whether Chen Anxia can defeat Yukimura Seiichi.
Even Atobe Keigo, Kite Eishiro, and Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who had suffered crushing defeats at the hands of Chen Anxia, were no exception.
They had indeed witnessed Chen Anxia's power, but they knew even more about how terrifying Yukimura Seiichi was...
Audience area.
Although the final has not officially started yet, the place is already bustling with people who have come specifically to watch the final.
Many familiar faces were among them: the students from Hyotei Middle School, Higa Middle School, Shitenhoji Middle School, Shonan Middle School, Yamabuki Middle School, and so on.
Besides the original inhabitants of the "Prince of Tennis" world, players have also focused their attention on this final match.
For example, Mihara Emi and Mitani Kanade, who had previously interacted with Chen Anxia, as well as Chen Qi, a professional tennis player from the player world, all came here, all for Chen Anxia.
Not only them, but also many amateur and professional tennis players came here to witness what they considered to be a pinnacle match.
During this period, Chen Anxia's match videos have been continuously uploaded to the Player World network, and each time they have caused a stir in the Player World tennis community.
The players' world has reached a consensus on Chen Anxia's demonstrated strength: he is the strongest in the world.
Indeed, if Chen Anxia could come to the world of players, then with the strength he has shown so far, he would be able to dominate the world and become an invincible demon king in the tennis world.
Therefore, how could they not be attracted by the upcoming match between Chen Anxia and Yukimura Seiichi, who was suspected to be no weaker than him and was known as the 'Child of God'?
They wanted to see where Chen Anxia's true limits lay, and even more so, they wanted to see if Chen Anxia could slay gods and prove his Dao.
For players, the world of "The Prince of Tennis" is like an anime series, and Chen Anxia is the protagonist of this series.
They truly watched Chen Anxia grow step by step, witnessing him defeat one formidable enemy after another, which fostered a special resonance and emotion in them towards him.
It was as if they had projected themselves onto Chen Anxia, and when they saw Chen Anxia become stronger and defeat yet another powerful enemy, they would feel an indescribable excitement, exhilaration, and satisfaction.
As for Yukimura Seiichi, the "Child of God" who appears at this time, the strongest player in the junior high school tennis world of the island nation, they see him as the final boss of this anime.
So, will Chen Anxia, the protagonist, be able to defeat this final boss?
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the match between Rikkai University and Seigaku began.
The first match was the singles match number 3. For Seigaku, number 3 was Echizen Ryoma, while for Rikkai, number 3 was Sanada Genichiro.
Although Ryoma Echizen had already reached the limit of his mastery of the Hundred Refinements, he still couldn't bridge the gap in strength between himself and Genichiro Sanada.
Ultimately, Ryoma Echizen lost to Genichiro Sanada with a score of 6-3.
