Billiards: Starting with the Overlord's Shot, Dominating the World

Fall in love with reading, starting now.

It turns out that this seemingly harmless, even somewhat idol drama male lead handsome guy is actually such a terrifying tactical mastermind.

If Fan Zhengyang's matches are like a thrilling, visceral action blockbuster, full of violent aesthetics and visual impact.

Lin Yi's matches, on the other hand, are like a mind-bending suspense drama full of twists and turns. Before you can even react, your opponent is already "dead," and he hasn't even flinched.

Two completely different styles, yet both possess an unparalleled dominance!

This feeling became increasingly apparent as the game progressed.

In Area A, Fan Zhengyang continued his rampage as the "Great Demon King." Like a heavy tank, he used the most unreasonable firepower to crush all obstacles in his path.

In Area B, Lin Yi was like an elegant assassin. He could always use the simplest and most efficient methods to deliver a fatal blow, effortlessly resolving battles.

The two teenagers, like two of the brightest stars, are rapidly approaching the final stage of the competition on their respective orbits with unstoppable momentum.

"The biggest highlight of this year's provincial youth competition is already a foregone conclusion!"

"That's right! It's the ultimate showdown between Demon King Fan Zhengyang and Prince Lin Yi!"

"Violent aesthetics vs. precision assassination! The ultimate battle between spear and shield! I'm totally fired up!"

Online discussions about the two have become a hot topic in the billiards world.

Some even gave them a catchy CP name – Yi Yang Qian Xi (equally awesome).

The fans also spontaneously split into two factions.

Fan Zhengyang's fans are mostly young people who crave excitement and thrills; they admire Fan Zhengyang's domineering and invincible aura. .

Lin Yi's fans are mostly technical enthusiasts and fans of his looks; they are captivated by Lin Yi's elegant playing style and calm demeanor.

The two groups of fans are arguing fiercely online, each firmly believing that their idol is the strongest.

This showdown, which has not yet begun, has already been imbued with a strong sense of destiny.

……

In the stands, in that inconspicuous corner.

Wang Dehai, the head coach of the provincial team, and his coaching team are also having a heated discussion.

"This Lin Yi is indeed the most outstanding talent in our province in recent years." A coach nodded in satisfaction as he watched Lin Yi's performance on the field. "He has solid technique, a stable mentality, and high football IQ. Given time, he will definitely be a promising player for the national team."

"That's right," another coach chimed in. "Especially his left-handed backhand smash, which has a bit of the style of the 'Golden Left Hand' of Europe back in the day. It's fast and the landing point is tricky. Most players simply can't withstand three hits from him."

"But..." The coach who spoke first changed the subject, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at Fan Zhengyang, who was warming up on another field. "This Fan Zhengyang is really... too unreasonable."

"Yes!" The coach next to him smiled wryly. "Lin Yi's strength is based on table tennis theory. Every shot he makes has a pattern, and they are all within our understanding."

"But what about Fan Zhengyang? He's practically a bug! A completely unorthodox player who doesn't play by the rules! Have you ever seen anyone use a powerful topspin flick? Have you ever seen anyone switch between forehand and backhand so fast that it leaves afterimages? Have you ever seen anyone whose serve has magical effects?"

"His game is entirely built on his individual talent! Many of his techniques are unlearnable by others, not even Lin Yi! Because Fan Zhenyang's physical attributes and reaction speed are simply not what a normal human being should have!"

These words silenced all the coaches present.

Yes.

One is the pinnacle of theory.

One is the embodiment of talent.

When theory meets talent, who will prevail?

Even these experienced, top-rated coaches couldn't answer this question.

"Old Wang, what do you think?" Everyone turned their attention to head coach Wang Dehai.

Wang Dehai did not answer immediately. He simply looked quietly at the two equally dazzling young men below, his eyes filled with expectation and a hint of worry.

What he was looking forward to was to see a peak showdown that would be recorded in the history of table tennis in Lanzhou.

What worried him, however, was that one of these two equally outstanding and proud geniuses would inevitably become the other's stepping stone to the top.

This is undoubtedly cruel for the losers.

"Just you wait and see."

After a long silence, Wang Dehai finally spoke, his voice tinged with emotion.

"This battle is crucial for both of them."

"The winner will rise to the top, reaching the pinnacle of confidence and prestige, with a smooth road ahead."

"And the loser... if they can't adjust their mindset in time, they are very likely to become discouraged and never recover."

"That's the cruelty of competitive sports."

"It's also the destiny of geniuses."

……

The draw results for the knockout stage have been released.

Unsurprisingly, Fan Zhengyang and Lin Yi were perfectly divided into the upper and lower halves of the bracket.

If they can each defeat their opponents, they will meet in the final match as if by fate.

The road to the throne has been paved.

The final battle is about to begin!

Fan Zhengyang looked at the battle map on the big screen, then glanced at the other side, at the aloof young man who was also looking at him, and a smile full of fighting spirit slowly appeared on his lips.

He knew that this game would be the most important "stepping stone" for him to enter the provincial team.

He wants to use an undisputed victory to draw a perfect conclusion to his career with the Blue Ocean City team.

Lin Yi, on the other side, also nodded almost imperceptibly at him, his eyes burning with the same intense passion.

He craved a rival.

A true opponent who can make him unleash his full power!

The air in the entire stadium seemed to become sweltering at that moment.

Everyone knows that a real storm is about to break!

As Fan Zhengyang and Lin Yi walked slowly from opposite ends of the field toward the central table tennis table, which was the focus of countless lights, the entire stadium was plunged into a strange and frenzied atmosphere.

The deafening screams and shouts, which had been like a tsunami, mysteriously vanished at that moment.

Everyone held their breath and stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing any detail of what was about to unfold.

In the air, it seemed as if invisible lightning was crackling.

On one side is Fan Zhengyang, dressed in a black and gold battle robe, exuding a domineering and fiery aura, sweeping all the way in, and dubbed "Great Demon King" and "Emperor Fan" by netizens.

On the other side is Lin Yi, dressed in a pure white team uniform, with a calm and icy demeanor. He is also undefeated and affectionately known by fans as "Prince Yi" and "the noble prince of the table tennis world".

A clash of ice and fire!

A clash between the aesthetics of violence and the art of precision!

The ultimate clash between talent and theory!

This final has been imbued with far too much significance.

It is not just a battle for the provincial youth championship, but also regarded by countless people as the "foundation battle for the future of table tennis in Lanzhou Province"!
