Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 75, the fifth one yet. Is the Asura God Path far behind? (Ninth update)
For people living in the world of anime and manga, for fans of The Prince of Tennis, things that don't conform to physics or kinematics don't matter. What matters is that it conforms to the laws of anime and manga, and that's enough.

As for other things, they are not within their scope of consideration.

Qi Yun sighed: "I thought he just wanted to retaliate against the other party's provocation, but now it seems I was wrong."

"You just said you were wrong," Lin Bin said slowly.

Qi Yun glared at him: "Have you been training too little lately? After the Australian Open wildcard tournament, go run more than ten kilometers for me."

Lin Bin quickly shut his mouth and looked away.

Qi Yun is quite terrifying when he gets angry; you shouldn't mess with him.

……

The serve that disappears is served.

It caused an instant uproar, both at the scene and online.

"I rely on!"

A serve that disappears?

"No way, Gu Shen even knows this?"

"How did you do that?!"

"Really? He can even replicate a serve that disappears? Is there anything he can't do? What about the state of 'no-self'?"

"Have you grasped the concept of 'perfect garment'?"

"Asura Shinto?"

"Stop messing around, upstairs. Is that still tennis? It's more like a walking RPG!"

"If God Gu dares to display the Asura God Path, I'll go crazy on the spot."

"Could it be that Gu Shen has already completed his evolution while we're still completely in the dark? Brothers and sisters, don't leave me out when you evolve!"

……

"A serve that disappears?!" Commentator Hu Li almost instinctively stood up, his voice cracking as he roared, "No wonder! No wonder Gu Cheng used the beginner's serve, because that's how you play the disappearing serve!"

"That's how it's supposed to be played!"

"Here, I solemnly apologize to Gu Shen. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted Gu Shen."

Even after apologizing, Hugh was still incredibly excited: "Anyone who has watched Prince of Tennis should know that before the National Tournament, this was one of the best tennis skills, comparable to the Triple Counter! And it was a serve."

At this point, the director also provided a replay of what happened.

This replay is clearly in slow motion; a serve that should have disappeared after being hit is now clearly visible on camera.

Tong Xin, a loyal fan of The Prince of Tennis, immediately explained using the slow-motion footage: "The tennis ball didn't disappear in the slow-motion footage, but as you all saw, when the player swung his racket, the tennis ball suddenly accelerated, so that the tennis ball was already behind him when the player swung his racket. That's the secret behind the tennis ball disappearing."

"Of course, this is just my explanation. As for whether it is actually true, or whether there are other secrets involved, we don't know. Perhaps only Gu Shen himself knows!"

……

Gu Cheng continued to hit the tennis ball, calmly taking out a second ball, gently spinning it, and then releasing it. When the tennis ball fell to about knee height, he swung his racket upwards.

--call out!!
A crisp sound of the ball hitting the net rang out, and the tennis ball arced through the air, flew over the net, and quickly fell to the ground. Then, it split in the same way and disappeared from Wilin's sight.

"Gu Cheng, 30-0."

"40-0!"

"Gu Cheng won this game, making the score 1-0."

Lin Bin gasped: "The American prodigy got utterly defeated by Gu Cheng!"

"Although I don't understand how he did it, this match was absolutely amazing!"

He cheered loudly.

……

Online, Gu Cheng's fans were overjoyed.

"Oh my god, that's hilarious! What kind of prodigy is he? He can't even return a serve!"

"Where are the people who were praising Verin before? Keep praising him!" "I wonder how much psychological trauma Verin is experiencing!"

"Look at Weilin standing there motionless, has his brain been shut down by that disappearing serve?"

"Please, God Gu, take me with you as I evolve!"

"This is the fourth one. This is already the fourth skill. How far away is the Asura God Path?"

"The person upstairs probably hasn't watched Gu Shen's matches closely. Topspin serve, swallow return, topspin dart, one-legged shuffle step, and counting the serve that disappears, this is the fifth one."

"Just how many more Prince of Tennis techniques does Gu Shen still know?"

"The devil knows!"

"If Gu Shen really fights the Asura God one day, I won't doubt that it's fake."

"This is a really hard slap in the face. Yesterday they were saying it was nothing and just a little trick, but now they've been completely outmaneuvered by that little trick."

"Good news, the opponent got shut out. Bad news, he shut out everyone. Is Gu Shen planning to shut out that 15-year-old prodigy?"

……

The game continues.

"Villin, please serve within the allotted time!"

After being reminded several times by the referee, Weilin finally snapped out of his daze and picked up the tennis ball that the caddie had handed him at some point.

Soon, Wei Lin realized what was happening and glared at Gu Cheng through gritted teeth: "Don't be too happy yet. As long as I hold my serve, you can't win."

After saying that, he served his first ball.

Back in this world, Gu Cheng has played against many people, including Zhang Ming, who has already entered the professional arena and is now ranked in the top 100 in the world, Xiao Fan, who is active in domestic tournaments, Yu Haoyang, who is already playing in ITF tournaments, and many tennis enthusiasts of his age.

However, it must be said that the quality of Wei Lin's serve was really high. Whether it was speed, power, or angle, it was no worse than Zhang Ming's.

It's said that Weilin already possesses the skills of a professional player, and it seems that this wasn't an exaggeration.

Willing White truly deserves the title of a child prodigy.

This was a fact that not only Gu Cheng, but also Lin Bin watching from the sidelines and Hu Li and Tong Xin, who were providing live commentary on the entire match, had to admit: Wei Lin's strength was greater than they had imagined.

"Gu Cheng quickly won the service game with his amazing serve, but Wei Lin did not give up. His serve was very sharp. Many professional players may not be able to hit a serve of this quality."

As a commentator for the Five Mothers, Hu Li's professional level is very high: "There were rumors that the contestant, Wei Lin, had been hiding his strength before the finals, and now it seems that there was some truth to it."

"We'll have to wait and see if he can hold his serve against Gu Cheng, who is known for his cheating on the court."

"Wow!"

"Faced with Wei Lin's sharp serve, Gu Cheng actually squatted down, raised his racket high, and made an extremely exaggerated gesture."

"Gu Cheng's backswing speed was too fast; the tennis ball flew to Weilin's half of the court in the blink of an eye."

As Hugh Li was still giving a high-spirited commentary on the match, the tennis ball that had been launched landed instantly, and then flew out of bounds at an astonishing angle, almost perpendicular to the ground.

"The tennis ball has gone out of bounds!"

"The angle of the bounce was too exaggerated; Verin could only watch helplessly as the tennis ball flew out of bounds."

"Gu Shen responded with an amazing return shot during Wei Lin's serve."

"Even in the return game, he has unparalleled dominance!"

In Wu Ma's live stream, both Hu Li and Tong Xin were already bursting with excitement.

Before the final began, many people thought it would be a great match, or at least not a one-sided affair.

After all, even Gu Cheng, with his amazing ball skills, could hardly be said to have an absolute advantage when facing Wei Lin, a fifteen-year-old prodigy.

Especially when the outside spin serve is broken, the swallow return is blocked, and the backspin dart may not be able to be hit, the only thing that can be used is the single-leg shuffle step. The two players should be able to play a back-and-forth game.

Even some industry insiders believe that Gu Cheng is at a disadvantage.

The result was that, whether in the service game or the receiving game, Gu Cheng used his superb skills to completely crush the fifteen-year-old prodigy on the other side.

The problem is, they're still using the same little tricks that Verin mentioned.
