The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 70: Hard against the limit of thousands of hammers and tempers (seeking first order!)

"The so-called selfless state is that you don't use your brain to think before deciding to fight back, but let your body rely on muscle memory to unconsciously respond in the first place. This state can only be achieved after surpassing your limits. Of course, the premise is that you have this talent."

"And the limit of a thousand hammers and a hundred tempers is a further realm of the selflessness realm, known as one of the three gates of selflessness."

"The user can return double the power, speed, and spin of the opponent's return."

Genichirō Sanada explained slowly and his eyes were fixed on Kunimitsu Tezuka, revealing an unwilling expression.

Two years ago, I was defeated by this move and didn't even have the chance to fight back.

"So that's how it is. This is really amazing." Liu Lianji was amazed. It was the first time he learned about the information related to the state of no self.

After silently noting this in his mind, Yanagi Renji's gaze returned to the court and he continued to watch this exciting match attentively.

On the field, looking at Tezuka Kunimitsu who had already opened one of the three gates of non-self, Yuuki Maya's expression did not change.

"Are you willing to use it so soon? It seems you have learned the lesson from two years ago." Yuuki Maya murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

Since Kunimitsu Tezuka is so sensible, he should put some pressure on the opponent.

砰

Tezuka Kunimitsu's serve again, after being tempered to the limit, was even faster than the previous one.

"What a quick serve!"

Inui Sadaharu was surprised. This was the first time he saw Tezuka Kunimitsu serve so fast. According to his estimation, the speed of the ball was almost 210.

The tennis ball was fired like a cannonball and hit Maya Yuuki in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Faced with such a high-speed and fierce serve, Maya Yuuki raised her racket calmly and caught the rebounding tennis ball.

"It's four times stronger than before."

On the tennis racket, the blocked tennis ball was spinning wildly, as if trying to break free from the obstruction of the racket net.

But Yuuki Maya's single arm holding the racket was as steady as a rock, without even the slightest muscle tremor.

He swung the racket, and the arc of the racket cut through the air and hit the serve back.

The tennis ball that was hit back turned into a huge silver-white arrow of light again, and its momentum was like a roaring storm.

With this ball, he still aimed at the position where Tezuka Kunimitsu was standing, as if he wanted to use the same method as in the first game.

Without any fear, facing this imposing arrow of light, Tezuka Kunimitsu held the racket with both hands, adjusted his body's hitting movement, and then decisively swung towards the flying return ball.

咚

There was a heavy collision sound, and a powerful arrow of light hit the net string of the tennis racket. The light on Tezuka Kunimitsu's left arm was even brighter than before.

After a few moments of stalemate, the heavy tennis ball was successfully hit back and returned to Maya Yuuki's half of the court.

The tennis ball changed its course and returned with greater speed and momentum than before, exploding along the sideline of the baseline before anyone else could see clearly.

Letting the return ball fly out of bounds, Yuuki Maya just glanced at it and ignored it.

"15 to 15."

The linesman at the baseline raised the flag to indicate that the score was valid, and the referee immediately announced the score.

"Great, Tezuka hit the ball back at that guy!" Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but shout after seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu's successful counterattack.

After seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu's performance, everyone in Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were still confused about Tezuka Kunimitsu's current state, as long as he could pull the tilted balance of the situation back, other doubts could be put aside after the game.

The truth was that Maya's act of breaking the field with a single ball just now had given them a huge shock, making them wonder whether even their strongest Tezuka Kunimitsu was far behind the opponent.

"Don't be careless. Look at that guy's expression. Even after he lost points due to a return ball, he didn't show any surprise." Inui Sadaharu observed very carefully and soon caught the calm look on Yuuki Maya's face.

The fact was just as Inui Sadaharu guessed. After the tennis ball was lying out of bounds, Maya Yuuki just took a casual look at it.

"Tezuka, let's consider this goal as a gift for our next match." Yuuki Maya warned, "Next, you better be careful."

I don't know if he heard what Maya Yuuki said or not. Kunimitsu Tezuka just looked at her deeply and made the serving gesture again.

Toss the ball, draw the racket, and swing.

The same super-high-speed normal serve as before once again landed in Maya Yuuki's half of the court.

The next moment, the scene seemed to be replayed again, and Maya Yuuki once again hit back with a light arrow.

Tezuka Kunimitsu responded with the same serve as before, and the tennis ball instantly landed diagonally opposite to Yuuki Maya.

However, after the scene reaches this point, the subsequent situation changes from before.

In the sight of Qingxue and others, they concluded that Yuuki Maya had no time to react and catch up with the return ball. Then, in just a blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared behind the tennis ball.

when? !

Fuji Shusuke and others were all shocked. They had no idea when Yuuki Maya moved.

Maya Yuuki caught up with the tennis ball, with the Stasis Blood Suit already covering her arm that was swinging the tennis ball, and faced head-on the return ball that had been added with double the force, speed, and spin.

The moment the racket hit the tennis ball, it was as if there was a force of a thousand pounds pressing down, the sound was deafening, and the air carried by the ball turned into a strong wind that blew his hair.

However, no matter how powerful the return ball was, it could not escape from Maya Yuuki's racket, and it was even more impossible to penetrate his net cable.

"Go back——"

After a few moments of stalemate, Yuuki Maya's eyes flashed, and she adjusted her posture and switched to the blood-activating suit, and hit the ball back. The returning tennis ball was like a meteor in the wind, instantly crossing the entire court.

After the tennis ball fell to the ground, it deviated from its original route and was forcibly pulled to Tezuka Kunimitsu's side.

Even with such an amazing return, he still couldn't escape the constraints of the opponent's territory.

Kunimitsu Tezuka remained expressionless in the face of this seemingly unstoppable return ball, and he swung his tennis racket again to intercept it.

The huge feedback of force made Tezuka Kunimitsu's body shake for the first time, and he couldn't help but take a step back, but his expression was firm. After stabilizing his lower body, the white light on his body rose again.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Boom!
The racket did not fall out of his hand, and Tezuka Kunimitsu hit the return ball again, announcing that the outcome of this ball was not over yet.

Bang, bang, bang—

In the huge stadium, only the heavy sound of hitting the ball was echoing.

At this moment, almost everyone in the audience who was watching the game was stunned. They were completely shocked by the battle situation before them.

Another ball, Yuuki Maya, who was in blood gear state, hit back Tezuka Kunimitsu's return ball for the sixteenth time.

Snapped.

On the other side, Kunimitsu Tezuka, who pulled the tennis ball to his side, finally couldn't bear the multiple forces attached to the tennis ball after catching the ball, and the racket was forced out of his grasp and flew high.

"30-15, Yuuki Maya is leading."

It is hard to imagine that in such an intense battle, the two sides have only finished the third ball of the first inning.

Almost fifteen minutes had passed on the field.

"Do you want to continue?" Yuki Maya stood in the front court as if to provoke Tezuka Kunimitsu and spoke.

After picking up the racket expressionlessly, Kunimitsu Tezuka looked at Maya Yuuki. The light that had disappeared briefly after the flying racket once again enveloped his left arm.

Although he didn't say anything, Tezuka Kunimitsu's actions told Yuuki Maya that he would not back down.

"As expected of you, Tezuka."

Maya Yuuki praised secretly, but that didn't mean he would show mercy. Giving it his all was the way to show respect to Kunimitsu Tezuka at that moment.

He served as usual, and there was no fear in Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes. Not only did his serving level not decline at all, but it seemed to have improved a bit.

However, this speed of the ball still had no effect on Maya Yuuki. His super eyesight locked onto the landing point of the serve in just an instant.

The tug of war begins again.

……

"Tezuka, you are really persistent..."

Sanada, who was standing off the court, looked at the two people who were fighting fiercely and shook his head slightly.

"Sanada, do you have anything to say?" asked Yanagi Renji.

"The range of the territory under Tezuka's feet has expanded by almost three steps. Once Yuki completely defeats the opponent's territory..." Sanada Genichirō paused when he said this.

He knew better than anyone that after losing the blessing of his domain, Tezuka Kunimitsu's threat to Yuuki Maya would be greatly reduced, and he might even become a burden to him.

After telling Yanagi Renji the cause and effect relationship, the latter nodded thoughtfully and immediately understood the pros and cons of it.

"That means once Tezuka can't use his domain, Yuki will basically win the game. Is that what you mean?" Yanagi Renji asked uncertainly.

"That's the theory, but I'm not sure if that guy has any skills that I don't know about. After all, two years have passed, and it's impossible that he hasn't made any progress."

After thinking about it, Genichirō Sanada did not give an accurate answer. He believed that the current situation did not allow for a complete conclusion.

Boom!
On the court, Kunimitsu Tezuka once again lost his racket and was unable to successfully return the ball that had double the power.

He slowly lowered his head, feeling expressionlessly the visibly trembling muscles in his arms.

"The first game is over, the score is 1-0, Rikkai University Yuki is leading."

"Please change sides. Yuki will serve in the second game."
