Goku's Journey to Another World from Naruto

Chapter 331 Wukong's Learning Talent

Inside the stadium, Wukong ignored the surrounding noise, staring at the large hole in the wire mesh. He scratched his face and muttered to himself:

"Hmm, it seems like the power can be reduced a little."

After all, this is someone else's property, so we shouldn't cause them any trouble unnecessarily.

He's a very cultured person!
Momoshiro Takeshi, the referee, was stunned for several seconds before finally coming to his senses.

He carefully examined the court where Ryoma was standing and, upon noticing a very clear ball mark on the ground, immediately announced the score: "Goku serves! Ace! Score 15-0!"

boom! ! !
When his voice came out, it was as if a thousand waves were stirred up all around, and the noise became even louder, like water boiling.

"No way?! That shot just went in?!"

"Yeah, yeah, I thought that ball went straight out of bounds, I didn't expect it to score?!"

"That's outrageous! Is that kind of serve something a rookie could pull off?!"

Many high school students who had always looked down on Wukong were so shocked that their mouths were big enough to fit several eggs.

They couldn't understand how that rookie, who couldn't even get the ball over the net at first, suddenly became so good that they now felt like clowns.

If you had this ability, you should have said so earlier! If you had, we wouldn't have laughed at you!

Are you perhaps putting on an act for us?
On the court, Ryoma stared at the large hole in the iron net for a while, then turned around, his expression becoming much more serious than before.

He didn't say anything unnecessary, he just pressed down on his hat, which had become a little loose from the strong wind.

Then, he lowered his body slightly, gripped the racket tightly with both hands, focused his attention to the maximum, and looked at Goku, saying, "Hey, let's continue."

Upon hearing his words, Goku, who had already picked up another tennis ball, nodded and smiled, "No problem."

After saying that, he tossed the ball up, then reduced the force slightly and hit the ball again!

call out--! !

Although the power was somewhat reduced, the ball was still as fast as lightning, appearing on the field where Ryoma was in the blink of an eye.

With his focus at its peak, Ryoma's sharp eyes caught the trajectory of the ball this time, and he was already in front of its landing point when the tennis ball hit the ground.

Immediately, as the ball bounced up at terrifying speed, I grabbed the racket and slammed it down!
Bang! !

The moment the ball made contact with the racket face, the racket was suddenly released from the hand, and then flew behind the player with the huge impact of the tennis ball, landing heavily on the ground.

!!!

When this scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, many people stared wide-eyed.

The most vehement reaction undoubtedly came from the Seigaku side.

"What?! He actually knocked the little guy's racket away! Just how strong is this guy?!"

At this moment, Kikumaru no longer cared about dodging the boulder. He slipped out from behind Fuji in a flash and looked at the field in shock.

"What terrifying power! My Wave Ball can't generate this kind of power," Kawamura Takashi said with a solemn expression.

"Echizen is in a bit of trouble this time."

At some point, Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes, his cold and serious gaze fixed on the field.

Outside the net, Horio, who had been gripping the net tightly with both hands and staring intently at the game, unconsciously let go of the net and looked somewhat dazed.

"It's over, it's over, it's over."

"I knew it! I knew that guy was definitely not normal. How could a normal person jump over such a high hurdle!"

"Now look at him, he's so strong that even Echizen can't catch him! Echizen, you know! If even Echizen can't catch a ball, is he even human?!"

"Waaaaah, Echizen, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought that guy here."

On the court, Ryoma was unaware that Horio was blaming himself for having brought him such a formidable opponent. He simply moved his wrist to feel its condition before picking up his racket from the ground.

The reason the racket slipped from his hand was partly due to the force of the ball, and partly because he deliberately let go of the racket.

The reason he let go was because he realized he hadn't received the ball well. If he had put all his strength into the attack, he might have been able to return the ball, but he would have gotten injured in the process.

As a highly experienced tennis player, he naturally wouldn't act impulsively and risk losing more than he gains. When he realized he couldn't return the ball without getting hurt, he decisively let go, thus avoiding the risk of injury.

"Hey, next ball, I'll definitely catch the next ball."

He raised his racket, pointed at Wukong, and said confidently.

Unbeknownst to them, their positions seemed to have reversed. What should have been Ryoma instructing the beginner Goku now appeared to be Ryoma challenging Goku.

At this moment, Wukong was thinking that he should reduce the power of his next serve.

But he heard Ryoma's words and saw the serious and confident expression on the other's face.

So he raised an eyebrow, discarding his previous thoughts, and simply said with a grin, "Okay, I'll wait."

After saying that, Momoshiro announced the score as "30:0", he picked up another tennis ball and hit it out in the same way as before.

call out--! !

The tennis ball flashed by like a yellow lightning bolt, instantly landing in Ryoma's half of the court.

This time, Longma adjusted his movements, carefully watched the trajectory of the ball, and swung his racket precisely when the ball hit the ground and bounced up!

"Go back!"

Veins suddenly bulged on his arms and even his forehead.

The tennis ball, carrying immense power, was skillfully controlled, its force constantly dissipating through his racket.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The moment he finished speaking, the tennis ball suddenly changed direction and shot towards Goku's half of the court!

"Did you catch it? That's amazing."

Seeing the tennis ball hurtling towards him, Goku's eyes lit up. He quickly appeared in front of the ball's landing point and swung his racket again.

Snapped! !

As the tennis ball hurtled towards him again at breakneck speed, Ryoma slightly adjusted his stance.

Immediately afterwards, the racket in his hand met the tennis ball, which possessed the same powerful force as before.

"Look at me!"

His arm muscles were taut, and the tennis ball slid down the racket face, constantly rubbing against it.

Finally, it flew back towards Wukong's half of the field in a graceful arc.

Faced with the tennis ball flying towards him again, Goku appeared without hesitation in front of the predicted landing point, got into position, and prepared to swing his racket.

But at that moment, the tennis ball, which had been shot at us, strangely did not bounce after hitting the ground, but instead rolled along the ground in an arc.

Judging from its trajectory, it clearly forms a capital C!

"It's here! It's Little One's smash C!"

Kikumaru, who was watching the game from the sidelines, immediately offered his commentary.

"Using the ball's immense power, you create a strong spin, causing it to fall to the ground and not bounce back up! That's the C-smash!"

Wow! ! !
Many high school students who were seeing Ryoma play for the first time were dumbfounded.

This middle school kid can actually play such amazing basketball?!

"Hehe, as expected of you, you broke through the opponent's weight tennis so quickly." Atobe rested his chin on his hand, not holding back his praise.

Although he enjoys seeing Ryoma suffer setbacks, he doesn't hide his admiration when Ryoma performs exceptionally well.

"Echizen scores! Score 30-15!"

When Momoshiro announced the score, Goku looked at the tennis ball on the ground, which had long since lost its momentum, in surprise. He scratched his face and looked at Ryoma, saying, "Wow! How did you do that? Was it also using spin?"

He truly didn't expect that the tennis ball wouldn't bounce after landing; this bizarre scene really opened his eyes.

“Yes.” Ryoma slung his racket over his shoulder and pulled down his hat brim.

Then, with a slight lift of his chin and a flick of his racket at Goku, he uttered his signature boastful line:

"You're not even close yet!"

Wukong touched the tip of his nose and chuckled.

He seems to be a rather competitive child.

Thinking of this, he winked mischievously and said to Ryoma, "Then, what do you think of my next shot?"

Longma paused for a moment, then smirked: "Bring it on."

After saying that, he gripped the racket with both hands, lowered his body, and got into a ready position to receive the ball.

Seeing this, Wukong didn't say anything more. He just picked up a tennis ball, bounced it on the ground, and looked at it from side to side.

Then, with a serious expression, he suddenly tossed the ball upwards.

The next second, his arm swung the racket in the air, hitting the ball out!

call out--! !

The tennis ball flashed through the air and landed on the ground in Longma's half of the court with lightning speed.

Just as it landed, Longma arrived in front of it, ready to swing his racket.

But at that moment, he subconsciously sensed something was wrong.

The ball's spin seems a bit off!
The thought popped into his mind, but his body was already unable to make any changes; he could only instinctively swing his racket.

Swish! !

The next instant, he missed.

And this is not because of anything else, but precisely because—

The tennis ball did not fly to the right as it should have, but instead flew to the left!
"That's an outside spin serve?!"

This sudden turn of events startled Kikumaru, Oishi, and other Seigaku members, as well as middle school students familiar with Ryoma such as Sanada Genichiro, Yukimura Seiichi, and Atobe Keigo, causing their pupils to shrink in surprise!
"That guy learned it after just watching Little One's topspin serve once?!"

Kikumaru was shocked to see the cat head reappear.

He couldn't imagine that there was someone with extremely developed motor skills, immense strength, and even a learning talent comparable to a super genius like Ryoma.

Where the hell did this monster come from?!
Snap! Snap! Snap!

At that moment, all Ryoma could hear was the sound of the tennis ball bouncing on the ground.

Apart from that, the noise from the outside world seemed to be completely isolated from him, not a single sound reaching his ears.

He glanced at the tennis ball, then turned back to stare intently at Goku opposite him: "Did you just learn that?"

Although he didn't say his name, Wukong knew he was using an outside spin serve, so he put his hands behind his head, smiled, and nodded: "That's right. How about it? I've learned it pretty well, haven't I?"

Although the topspin serve is an extremely difficult serve, very few people in this world can learn it, let alone learn it after only seeing it once.

But Goku is no ordinary person. Although he doesn't understand the principles of ball control, his observational skills allow him to capture the details of Ryoma's every movement and the ball's rotation.

Combined with his top-notch physical talent, he can naturally learn a high-difficulty serve like the topspin serve after only watching it once.

"Heh, you're doing very well."

Upon hearing his affirmation, Ryoma's lips curled up, showing no anger at having his moves stolen. After all, he himself often stole other people's moves.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment," Wukong said with a grin.

At this moment, Momoshiro Takeshi, who had been stunned, came to his senses and quickly announced the score: "Goku scores! The score is now 40:15!"

Then, he looked at Wukong and reminded him, "Wukong, this is game point. If you can win just one more point, you will win this game."

Wukong nodded to him: "Okay, I understand."

Immediately, he picked up a tennis ball, weighed it in his palm, and said to Ryoma, "Well then, you catch this one!"

Snapped! !

A second after he finished speaking, a serve with super high spin was once again shot towards Ryoma.

This time, Ryoma, who was prepared, gripped his racket tightly with both hands, and the veins on his arms bulged from the force.

"Go back here!!"

Snapped! !

With a dull thud, the tennis ball hovered on the racket for a second before changing direction and shooting towards Wukong.

However, soon after, with a casual swing from Wukong, a powerful and heavy ball shot towards him again.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the muscles in his arms were a little sore, but his eyes remained firm as he assumed the stance to hit the ball C.

Bang! !

When the tennis ball touched the racket face, the power contained within it caused his arm to tremble.

Although he can use techniques to reduce some of his power, the remaining power is still a huge burden for him.

He had already received this kind of heavy ball several times before, and his arms were already close to their limit under the continuous heavy burden.

"Go back!!" He gritted his teeth and managed to return the ball.

But as he hit the ball back, his arm reached its limit and he couldn't hold the racket anymore, and the racket flew away with the ball.

"Is it that ball that skims low to the ground again?"

Having seen through Ryoma's actions, Goku wanted to move his body and intercept the tennis ball before it hit the ground.

After all, this method is the best way to counter this kind of low, elusive shot. Many people can't counter it simply because they can't see through the shot's moves.

But just as he was about to move, he stopped, because he realized that he might not need to intercept the ball in advance.

Bang! !

As expected, after the tennis ball landed, it did not roll along the ground in an arc as before, but bounced up ten centimeters and flew in an arc parallel to the ground from that height.

Seeing this, Wukong smiled to himself for his correct judgment and swung his racket at the tennis ball without hesitation!
call out--! !

Then a yellow lightning bolt flashed across the court, and Ryoma, who had lost his racket, could only watch helplessly, unable to return the hit.

"Beep—Goku scores! Goku wins this round! The score is 1-1!"

When Takeshi Momoshiro announced the score, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

"No way! Little one actually lost this round!" Kikumaru pinched his cheeks, revealing a terrified skull-like expression.

Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "Echizen's strength has improved considerably since the National Tournament. According to data analysis, if he were to face Yukimura Seiichi during the National Tournament, he would be able to fight him even without using the Muga no Kyoukai (Muga no Kyoukai) technique."

"I never expected that Echizen would be suppressed by a man of unknown origin. It's truly unexpected."

"Based on the data we've gathered on this man so far, Echizen might lose this match."

He watched Wukong, who seemed relaxed and carefree throughout the game, and who, apart from that one time when he used a vertical jump shot, never caught the ball with both hands again, and felt a deep sense of unease.

"Hey! A-Qian! How can you say such cold words in such a calm tone!"

Upon hearing his analysis, Kikumaru jumped onto him, pinching his cheek as he shouted, "Even though the little guy lost this round, he still has many tricks up his sleeve! You're not only not defending him, but you're also siding with outsiders!"

Inui Sadaharu didn't move, letting Kikumaru keep pulling at his face, and just said calmly, "Kikumaru, I recently developed a new kind of Inui juice, but I haven't had anyone try it yet."

Swish! !

Kikumaru, who was viciously pulling at his face, jumped off him like a cat with its fur standing on end as soon as he heard the words "Inui Juice," and then instantly darted several meters away.

"I won't drink! I won't drink! I won't drink!! Ah Qian, find someone else!!"
