Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

At this moment, Fuji Yuta, who was in the midst of his anger, had not yet noticed anything unusual, but Kanzuki, who was outside the arena, had a slight change in expression, and his eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty as he looked at Chen Anxia.

Guan Yuechu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Chen Anxia seemed to have changed. She didn't know exactly what had changed, but she could clearly feel a slight unease rising in her heart.

It's as if... I'm afraid of Chen Anxia.

Thinking about it, Guan Yuechu shook his head violently, banishing the idea from his mind.

Guan Yuechu didn't want to admit, nor was she willing to admit, the fact that she felt afraid of Chen Anxia.

Just as Guan Yuechu shook his head, Fuji Yuta in the court had already reached the landing point. The moment the ball bounced off the ground, he swung his racket and jumped up, using the speed and power of that jump to deliver his super half-volley.

In Fuji Yuta's view, as long as he throws a super half-volley, Chen Anxia will definitely not be able to catch it.

But reality slapped Fuji Yuta hard in the face.

In Fuji Yuta's trembling eyes, a golden tennis ball was reflected as it drew ever closer.

......

Rumble!

A train sped past on the viaduct, but Chen Anxia was nowhere to be seen in the tennis court below. Only Fuji Yuta remained, kneeling on the ground, his face filled with fear and trembling.

Not only Fuji Yuta, but also Mizuki Hajime, who was watching the entire match from outside the tennis court, was trembling uncontrollably.

Guan Yuechu's previously composed eyes were now betraying a deep sense of fear as he murmured, "He's King... the King who controls the court..."

......

Chapter 280 The Appearance of the Selfless Realm, the Selection Tournament Comes to an End!

Time passed, and the school's selection competition proceeded as scheduled in the afternoon.

In the C group field of Seigaku.

The match between Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro has begun.

This battle is crucial for Echizen Ryoma.

Because in the morning, Ryoma Echizen had already defeated Kaoru Kaido, who was in the same group.

This also means that as long as Ryoma Echizen defeats Takeshi Momoshiro again, he will be able to secure a spot on the Seigaku regular team.

Because of Ryoma Echizen's victory over Kaoru Kaido, the match between Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro attracted a large audience.

Among them, besides most of the freshmen and ordinary members, Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Shuichiro, Kikumaru Eiji, and Chen Anxia, ​​who had not yet started the match, were also watching the match.

The competition had only just begun; the truly exciting part was yet to come.

Perhaps because of this, most people at the scene were focused on Chen Anxia rather than on the ongoing match.

Even Ryoma Echizen, who was playing on the field, couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia.

Originally, Ryoma Echizen was only thinking about winning the match, but after noticing that Chen Anxia was watching his match, Ryoma Echizen's fighting spirit and will were aroused.

Ryoma Echizen wanted to show Chen Anxia his true strength, to see Chen Anxia's surprised and shocked expression, and to use this as a challenge to Chen Anxia.

Meanwhile, Takeshi Momoshiro, who was competing against Ryoma Echizen, also noticed Chen Anxia's presence.

It's unclear whether it was the pressure and encouragement from Chen Anxia that caused Momoshiro Takeshi's potential to gradually emerge, allowing him to display extraordinary strength on the field.

Momoshiro Takeshi himself was unaware of this, but he was thinking to himself that he could not let Chen Anxia look down on him, and he could not embarrass himself in front of Chen Anxia.

Momoshiro Takeshi didn't know why he had this thought, and he didn't dwell on it during the match.

However, Sadaharu Inui, who was collecting and recording data, did indeed see this.

Intrigued by this, Inui Sadaharu began to analyze it.

After analyzing various data, Inui Sadaharu came to the most reliable conclusion: Momoshiro Takeshi's extraordinary strength was related to Chen Anxia.

In other words, Chen Anxia's existence stimulated Momoshiro Takeshi's potential.

This conclusion caused a glint of light to flash in Inui Sadaharu's eyes, and at the same time, the word 'leader' flashed through his mind.

As we all know, a leader's competence is judged by his ability to leverage the team's strengths and unleash the team members' potential.

Although Chen Anxia did not do it intentionally, she reached this standard without realizing it.

This led Inui Sadaharu to conclude that Chen Anxia was a natural leader.

In his heart, Inui Sadaharu murmured, 'Perhaps, under his leadership, the Seigaku will reach its unprecedented peak...'

boom!

boom!

boom!

......

With each powerful thud of tennis balls hitting the ground, the match gradually intensified and became increasingly exciting.

The increasingly exciting matches naturally kept the attention of the spectators firmly focused.

In the eyes of the ordinary club members, Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro were evenly matched, and the two were exchanging tennis balls back and forth.

In the eyes of Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Shuichiro, Kikumaru Eiji, and Chen Anxia, ​​the current match is one in which Echizen Ryoma is gradually gaining the upper hand and suppressing Momoshiro Takeshi step by step.

The most obvious point is that Momoshiro Takeshi's crouching smash has been completely sealed by Echizen Ryoma, making it impossible for him to use it.

Even Momoshiro Takeshi's powerful bullet serve couldn't force Echizen Ryoma to hit a lob.

As for how Ryoma Echizen received the powerful bullet serve...

In the arena, after gradually suppressing Momoshiro Takeshi, Echizen Ryoma had some energy left. He unconsciously looked at Chen Anxia, ​​wanting to see Chen Anxia's expression and reaction.

But upon closer inspection, Ryoma Echizen only saw indifference and calmness on Chen Anxia's face.

Ryoma Echizen knew that his current strength was not enough to move Chen Anxia.

Naturally, Ryoma Echizen was not satisfied with this and made a decision at the same time.

Ryoma Echizen took a deep breath, and then his eyes gradually became empty, and he began to exude an aura of emptiness.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Ryoma Echizen struck a backswing pose that they were all very familiar with.

Upon seeing this backswing pose, someone couldn't help but gasp, "This backswing pose, could it be...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ryoma Echizen delivered a backhand slice to the incoming ball.

The next moment, that dreamlike, unsolvable return shot arrived.

On the court, Takeshi Momoshiro stared in astonishment and disbelief as the tennis ball, after hitting the ground, didn't bounce but instead rolled towards the net. He muttered to himself, "This...this is...the Zero-Style Chop!?"

At the same moment, the spectators were also stunned and shocked, staring in disbelief at what was happening before them.

Then, a disturbance broke out.

Amidst the commotion, Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Shuichiro, and Kikumaru Eiji also joined in the commotion.

Chen Anxia was a monster, but now even Echizen Ryoma, a first-year student, knew the Zero Style Cut. This fact was hard for them to accept.

They also couldn't understand when the zero-style slice shot became so popular.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​even his usually calm face showed shock and astonishment.

Unlike the others, Chen Anxia keenly sensed Echizen Ryoma's unusual behavior, noticing his empty eyes and sensing the emptiness emanating from him.

Seemingly realizing something, Chen Anxia murmured, "Could this be... the state of 'no self'?!"

After realizing what was happening, Chen Anxia began collecting data, attempting to replicate the state of selflessness through a data model.

However, Chen Anxia failed, marking his first defeat.

Chen Anxia was not surprised by this, because the state of selflessness is a state of mind, not a skill or technique. This is also why Chen Anxia's data model failed.

......

Besides the B group's area, in addition to a large number of freshmen and regular members, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Fuji Syusuke, Echizen Ryoma, and Kawamura Takashi also gathered there.

At this moment, whether they were freshmen or ordinary members, or Tezuka Kunimitsu, Fuji Syusuke, Echizen Ryoma and Kawamura Takashi, they all showed expressions of shock, astonishment and disbelief, as if they had seen something unimaginable.

On the court, Inui Sadaharu seemed to have witnessed something unimaginable, and was stunned and speechless.

The focus of everyone's attention, however, remained unmoved as Chen Anxia stood on the field, calmly remarking, "A distant ideal land..."

......

Chapter 281 Failure, a move that even the Selfless Realm cannot imitate!?

The Seigaku regular selection process has concluded. Through this selection, the following eight members have been officially selected as Seigaku regulars: Kunimitsu Tezuka, Anxia Chen, Syusuke Fuji, Takashi Kawamura, Eiji Kikumaru, Shuichiro Oishi, Takeshi Momoshiro, and Ryoma Echizen.

Ryoma Echizen's house.

While looking at an adult magazine with a wicked grin, Echizen Nanjiro noticed Echizen Ryoma returning.

Echizen Nanjiro knew that today was the day of the Seigaku regular selection, and he had confidence in his son, but he still couldn't help asking curiously, "Hey, kid, did you succeed?"

Ryoma Echizen paused slightly upon hearing this, then gently adjusted his baseball cap and asked in return, "Is that even a question? Isn't it a given?"

With that, Ryoma Echizen walked straight toward his house.

Seeing this, Echizen Nanjiro shook his head and chuckled, muttering to himself, "This arrogant brat is really not likable..."

As he spoke, Echizen Nanjiro's thoughts drifted back to that day, the day he told Echizen Ryoma about the state of selflessness.

"Ryoma, do you want to defeat me? Then first open the three great gates deep within the Mugado Hall!"

Echizen Nanjiro still clearly remembers the words that came from his own mouth.

The reason he remembers it so clearly is that after saying those words, Ryoma Echizen seemed to awaken, and in the ensuing father-son fight, he successfully entered the state of selflessness.

To be honest, Echizen Nanjiro hadn't expected that Echizen Ryoma would reach the state of egolessness so early.

At the same time, the fact that Ryoma Echizen had reached the state of selflessness so early brought Nanjiro Echizen an indescribable joy, a joy that even surpassed the joy that tennis brought to Nanjiro Echizen.

Because Ryoma Echizen once again surprised Nanjiro Echizen, and once again demonstrated his extraordinary tennis talent to Nanjiro Echizen.

This was undoubtedly the best gift for Echizen Nanjiro, who had placed his hopes on Echizen Ryoma.

Even now, when he thinks back on it, Echizen Nanjiro can't help but smile, and a lingering joy still wells up in his heart.

Just as Echizen Nanjiro was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Echizen Ryoma's voice say, "You old bastard, let's have a fight!"
