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

"It's here! I've finally waited for this moment! My adrenaline is already pumping!"

"Aaaaaah! Yang Shen! Prince Yi! They're both so dear to me, who should I support? Never mind, I love them both!"

"Only children make choices; adults want it all! Tonight, I'm a die-hard fan of their pairing, 'Yi Yang Qian Xi'!"

In the live stream room, the barrage of comments was so dense that the screen was completely obscured.

Meanwhile, in the provincial sports bureau's back-end monitoring room, Director Wang and a group of staff members were watching the red number representing the "number of online viewers" with the same tension as if they were guarding a rocket launch.

"Reporting to the Director! The number...the number has surpassed 4000 million!"

"It's still rising! It's still rising! My God, it's reached 5000 million! We...we've made history!"

Director Wang was so excited his face turned red. He knew that this competition had completely gone beyond its usual scope! It was no longer just a sporting event, but a social phenomenon that had captured the attention of the entire nation!

Meanwhile, at the table tennis team training bases in four other provinces in Central China.

Whether it's Zhou Xuan, the chopping prodigy from Sichuan Province, Wang Haoran, the penhold rising star from Donghai Province, or the top young talents and their coaching teams from other provinces, they all gathered in front of the holographic projection to watch this "battle of the gods" from Lan Province.

They knew that the two teenagers on the screen would become their most terrifying opponents in the future national competition!

……

On the field.

The referee announced the start of the match.

Lin Yi, the left-handed "Prince Yi," served first.

His serve lacked the unpredictable variations of Fan Zhengyang's, but it was full of artistry and deception.

He slightly turned his body, flicked his wrist, and launched a seemingly ordinary topspin shot straight at Fan Zhengyang's forehand at a wide angle.

However, just as Fan Zhengyang was about to make a side-step charge, the ball drew an extremely strange S-shaped arc in the air!

This is a unique serpentine serve from a left-handed player, incorporating both sidespin and reverse sidespin!

If this were any other player, they would probably have broken their back from being shaken by this unreasonable ball trajectory.

But Fan Zhengyang only slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

interesting!

His footsteps were like those of a ghost; with an extremely swift little step, he adjusted his position and instantly got into place.

Then, at the very last moment before the ball was about to fly off the table, he suddenly exerted force with his wrist!

It's not a burst of energy, but rather—a domineering twist!

"Holy crap! Using a power topspin in the forehand position?"

"What kind of insane move is that?!"

Amidst the incredulous gasps of the audience, Fan Zhengyang used a method that completely defied the norms of billiards to forcefully twist the ball back from the brink of going out of bounds!

The ball transformed into a white streak of light, carrying a terrifying side spin, heading straight for Lin Yi's backhand opening!

Lin Yi's reaction was also incredibly fast, almost inhuman!

He seemed to have anticipated Fan Zhengyang's move, and his body appeared at the landing point as if he had teleported.

Instead of using a conventional block, he flicked his wrist and gently pulled the object away with an extremely elegant and unrestrained motion, much like the cursive script in calligraphy!

"Ping!"

He dribbled the ball in a beautiful arc, bypassing Fan Zhengyang's defense and landing in an open space on the other side.

1: 0!

In the very first point of the game, the two players delivered a divine duel that deserves to be included in the top 10 highlights of the year!

"My God! Is this the intensity of the finals? This is so damn exciting!"

"These two... have they activated the Sharingan? Are they predicting each other's predictions?"

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at my phone..."

The chat room went completely crazy.

The match went straight into a heated battle from the very first point!

Both players brought their skills and game intelligence to the fullest.

Lin Yi's ball is agile, graceful, and full of imagination.

He sometimes appears and disappears like a secret love triangle within the station, making it impossible for you to guard against him;

Sometimes he'll unleash an unreasonable long-range, diagonal, powerful smash, leaving you sighing in despair.

He made the most of his left-hand advantage, and the shots he hit always made you feel awkward and uncomfortable.

He bears a striking resemblance to Xu Xin, the former People's Artist of Chinese Table Tennis!

Fan Zhengyang, on the other hand, took the aesthetics of violence to its extreme.

No matter how tricky your shot is, no matter how unpredictable your landing point is.

I will break it by my own strength!

His imperial bursts were like the roar of heavy cannons; every shot seemed to pierce through the table!

His Overlord Twist is domineering and unparalleled, rotating without regard to anything and directly hitting the hand!

His fierce, straight-line attacks are like a poisoned dagger, always able to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent at the most crucial moment!

The two players traded blows, the score fluctuating back and forth, their moves intertwined.

从3:3，打到5:5，再到7:7平！

Every point is a thrilling battle of offense and defense!

Every minute of the show kept the audience, both at the venue and watching on screen, on the edge of their seats, their palms sweating!

"They're incredible! Both of them are just too good!" In the stands, Wang Dehai, the provincial team's head coach, stood up excitedly, his eyes filled with ecstasy. "One is as agile as the wind, the other as domineering as fire! They are simply the two future stars of our province's table tennis!"

After the score was tied at 7-7, it was Fan Zhengyang's turn to serve.

He took a deep breath. He knew that the key to winning the first set lay in these few serves.

He used two unpredictable serves in a row. Although he did not score directly, he successfully disrupted Lin Yi's rhythm and created an opportunity for himself, scoring two points in a row!

9: 7!

Then, on his serve, Lin Yi also demonstrated strong mental fortitude, winning back a point and bringing the score to 9-8.

The crucial 10th point!

The two engaged in the longest rally since the start of the tournament!

From near-field to mid-field, and then to far-field!

Lin Yi used his superb skills to constantly change the spin and landing point, trying to maneuver Fan Zheng-yang.

Fan Zheng-Yang, on the other hand, stood firm like a rock, smashing all the incoming balls back with one high-quality smash after another!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Inside the stadium, only the explosive sound of the billiard balls being hit with extreme force could be heard!

On the fifteenth stroke of the rally, Lin Yi made a feint, shifting his center of gravity as if to change to a straight line!

However, Fan Zhengyang, who possessed the archetype of an emperor, had long seen through everything about him!

The moment Lin Yi changed direction, Fan Zhengyang's body was already waiting there!

Instead of pulling back, he suddenly turned to the side and raised his right arm high!

A thunderous, earth-shattering forehand slam dunk!

"boom--!"

The ball crashed down like a meteorite, slamming into Lin Yi's half of the table before bouncing high and flying out of bounds!

10:8! Set point!

In the final point, Fan Zhengyang gave Lin Yi no chance. He won the first game with a powerful serve and attack!

11: 8!

"yeah--!"

The fans of "Yang Shen" at the scene erupted in thunderous cheers!

Fan Zhengyang clenched his fists tightly and let out a low roar as he looked up at the sky.

Won!

Although it was only the first game, he felt that it was more exhilarating than all the previous games combined!

He felt like all the blood in his body was on fire!

So cool!

This is the kind of opponent he wants! This is the kind of match he wants!

This is the first time since he transmigrated that, apart from being utterly defeated by those legends in the virtual space, he has encountered an opponent among his peers who can fight him to a standstill and even put him under tremendous pressure!

(Chen Mo doesn't count; after all, he's ten years older than Fan Zhengyang, and his advantages in experience and mindset are too great.)

Lin Yi, the "Prince Yi" with an icy demeanor, successfully ignited all his fighting spirit!
