My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level

Chapter 125 A Powerful Showdown, Each Using Their Own Methods

"Damn it, what nonsense are they spouting!"

Having just stepped down, a completely exhausted Sengoku couldn't help but complain upon hearing this: "What do you mean less than twenty minutes? That's just a rumor!"

"Yeah?"

Just then, Muromachi leaned in unnoticed, grinning mischievously, and asked, "So, what's the longest you've ever lasted, senpai?"

As he spoke, he made a smirk towards where Kanzuki was, clearly warning him that there were professionals recording data here.

"You, Muromachi, you've got some nerve, daring to make fun of me!"

Sengoku glared at him, grabbed Muromachi's head, and delivered two sharp blows to the head. Muromachi, in pain and unable to fight back, begged for mercy.

"Those two guys..."

'

Nan, Dongfang, and the others were all speechless.

Although Sengoku was originally arrogant, he was seen as a good-for-nothing because he was always chasing girls. Even though he was very talented, no one was afraid of him.

After Shibukawa took control of Yamabuki, Sengoku went into seclusion for a while. During that time, in order to become stronger, he transformed into a taciturn training maniac, making him someone that people dared not approach.

After he got into boxing and his fighting style changed, he reverted to his original optimistic self. After entering his third year, although he was still training hard, he was usually unserious, joking and bickering with Muromachi and others, which others had gotten used to.

"Speaking of which..."

'

Watching the two playfully bickering, Yuuta seemed to remember something and turned to Mizuki beside him: "Senpai, how long did Sengoku-senpai last against Akutsu-senpai?"

"22... no, to be precise, 21 minutes and 49 seconds!"

After thinking for a moment, Guan Yue spoke.

"certainly."

He paused, then added, "This happened before he mastered that tiger's aura. But I think Akutsu didn't use his full strength before, so it's hard to say how long he could last in a real fight."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

They had all witnessed Sengoku's strength. Although he had lost to Echizen in the previous match, Echizen had given it his all. Moreover, Echizen's tennis talent far exceeded expectations and was incomparable to that of ordinary geniuses.

Even Sengoku could only hold out for about 20 minutes against Akutsu.

"Akuzu-senpai."

Among them, Tan looked at Akutsu with admiration as he stepped onto the stage. He was quick-witted and meticulous in his work, but his physical talent was only barely passable.

Therefore, Tan has always envied people like Akutsu, who are born with top-notch physical talents that others cannot possess.

Of course, he was not discouraged.

After all, Shibukawa, the strongest member of Yamabuki today, didn't show any amazing talent before his rise to prominence. He only reached his current level of strength through consistent daily training.

The story of Kawakami inspires every member of the Yamabuki team. Tan is also striving to emulate him, but the recent singles match 3 has brought Echizen's attention to him.

In contrast, someone with a similar height and build to him would be a more suitable role model.

"The match begins, one game to decide the winner!"

A moment later, the referee, seated on a high chair, confirmed the status of both players and announced loudly, "Yamabuki Akutsu serves, game over."

call!

As soon as he finished speaking, Akutsu tossed the tennis ball up without hesitation and then swung his racket to smash it down.

boom!

The crisp sound resonated.

A tennis ball, perfectly straight and without any spin, shot out at an astonishing speed.

"What a fast serve!"

Among the newly arrived Hyotei members, the handsome young man with gray-white tousled hair, Chotaro Ootori, let out a soft exclamation.

Gakuto Mukahi, with his burgundy hair, disagreed, saying, "It's fast, but it has no spin at all. The serve is too simple."

Is that really the case?

Atobe and Oshitari shook their heads inwardly.

In their view, Akutsu's serve was even more terrifying precisely because it lacked spin. This meant that the opponent possessed great power and had extremely precise control over the force applied to the tennis ball during the swing.

Bang!

The tennis ball flew like a bullet hitting the ground, sending up dust and creating a rather frightening spectacle.

But Fuji arrived just in time, swung his racket to intercept, and returned the tennis ball with a thud.

"This power... ugh!"

Fuji frowned as he watched the tennis ball fly back. The ball and racket made contact in an instant, but the force transmitted through the racket was excessive.

Looking at Akutsu's physique, he is clearly a power-type fighter.

Tap tap!

At the finish line, Akutsu moved quickly. With his rapid pace and long legs, he covered what seemed like a long distance in just a few breaths.

boom!

The moment he got close to the tennis ball, Akutsu swung his racket without even looking. The tennis ball flew like a cannonball, slamming into Fuji's far left side. He sped up to get closer, but barely managed to block it.

boom!

But Akutsu's offensive came one after another, and the explosive power caused the tennis ball to explode at the baseline, sending dust flying everywhere.

"15-0!"

The students of Seigaku all gasped.

This is outrageous! Fuji's strength is undeniable. In the practice matches before the regional qualifiers, he completely dominated Echizen. But now, he's conceded points to him in just a few rounds.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Outside the court, Hyotei's Mukahi's expression changed.

"Its strength is also very strong."

Ryo Shishido, with his long brown hair, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Moreover, judging from his posture when he made his move, it seemed like he wasn't using much force."

"This guy named Akutsu has terrifyingly strong physical abilities!"

Renji nodded solemnly.

Fuji is no ordinary character. At the end of last year's National Autumn Youth Selection Tournament, he competed against Atobe and even defeated Yanagi from Rikkai University, demonstrating his formidable strength.

A player like this might not be physically strong, but he's definitely not the kind of fragile character who crumbles at the slightest touch. On the contrary, Shinobu is also the type who is weak in strength but strong in technique, and he has his own set of tips on how to neutralize the opponent's powerful shots.

Fuji has a well-established reputation and has rarely lost in recent years. He is unlikely to be easily suppressed by a power player.

There is only one answer.

Atobe squinted and said, "This guy named Akutsu has speed, strength, and explosiveness far exceeding that of ordinary people. Even Fuji would have a hard time keeping up with his pace for a while."

This is indeed the case.

Akutsu's extraordinary physical gifts allow him to quickly get into the game at the start. Combined with his immense strength,

With speed and explosive power like a cheetah, once activated, it becomes as terrifying as a humanoid weapon.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Akutsu then launched a series of fierce attacks.

That exaggerated physical strength meant that every shot he hit was explosive. Even with Fuji dealing with it continuously, he turned pale and his hands went numb.

But Fuji is no ordinary character.

A technically skilled player like him has the knack for using the angle and timing of receiving the ball, as well as the spin and friction to neutralize the opponent's hitting power.

The intense battles were indeed taking a toll on him, but they also allowed him to adapt to Akutsu's style more quickly. Although he was currently at a disadvantage, the number of rounds he could hold his own against Akutsu was increasing.

boom!

However, Akutsu still won the first game within 2 minutes.

"Game!"

"Yamabuki Akutsu, 1-0, switch positions!"

"So strong!"

The audience around him was stunned by Akutsu's domineering presence.

"Fuji didn't even get a single point?"

Oishi, Kawamura, and the others were filled with shock. Who was Fuji? He was the second-ranked player at Seigaku, an absolute national-level talent.

As a result, Akutsu completely shut out the match right from the start. Although Akutsu had an advantage in the previous game due to her serve, it was still too exaggerated to not win a single point.

"This person is very strong."

"He is stronger than Kawamura, faster, and has terrifying explosiveness. His only weakness is his tennis ball handling technique, but that doesn't mean he isn't a master in that area."

As he switched positions, Fuji thought to himself.

Because of the crushing defeat against Shibukawa more than six months ago, he became more composed and calm after reflecting on his experience. Although Akutsu's performance suggests a slight lack of technique, that may not necessarily be the case.

From Bu Er's perspective, he can only imagine the opponent to be as strong as possible in order to prevent troublesome things from happening in the future when considering tactics.

Judging from the current situation, Akutsu has no weaknesses in any area. Fuji, on the other hand, excels in technical play, so he can only try to limit his opponent by controlling the ball.

!

Do it when you think of it.

At the start of the second game, Fuji immediately hit a powerful serve, but Akutsu countered it instantly.

However, Fuji's serve landed very deep, limiting Akutsu's explosive power. Next, he unleashed another fast and powerful topspin smash.

Sizzle!

The tennis ball spun rapidly after landing, then surged upwards. Even with Akutsu's excellent balance, he could only take half a step back.

Only then can enough space be freed up.

Whoa!

At that moment, Fuji used the ball that Akutsu hit back to quickly slice and hit the ball from top to bottom with his racket.

"This is?"

Everyone was stunned by Fuji's action.

Someone quickly realized what was happening, and seeing the tennis ball plummeting rapidly after flying over the net, exclaimed, "A backflip?!"

*Sizzle*

As soon as he finished speaking, the tennis ball did not bounce as expected after landing. Instead, it bounced a certain height and then glided quickly parallel to the ground.

Seeing the long trail left by the dragging, most of them couldn't help but swallow hard. Even the arrogant members of Hyotei were shocked.

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

Xiang Ri's voice trembled.

At this moment, he no longer possessed the superior sense of superiority he had when he had already advanced to the finals.

"What amazing ball skills."

One of the main choices, Chotaro Ootori, was utterly shocked.

Shishido, Taki, and the others next to him were the same; only Atobe and Kabaji next to him were able to remain calm.

"hiss."

At that moment, the brown-haired boy, Ryo Shishido, seemed to remember something and turned to look at Atobe beside him: "When you fought him, did he use this move?"

"nonsense."

Atobe glanced at him expressionlessly.

"Glug."

Shishido swallowed hard.

He became a regular member in his first year. At that time, Atobe transferred to Hyotei High School and swept through the school with his overwhelming strength, defeating his seniors in a rout.

Afterwards, Oshitari, Shishido, and Mukahi challenged Atobe one after another. Although they all lost, they at least made a name for themselves.

After that, Atobe began selecting regular players in an unconventional way. Anyone with enough strength could be selected, and Shishido was one of those who became a regular player for Hyotei.

Hyotei's strength was indeed formidable, sweeping through Tokyo undefeated. However, they repeatedly encountered Rikkai University in the Kanto region and throughout the country, becoming nothing more than a backdrop for those guys.

But Shishido's pride did not disappear as a result.

In his eyes, only Rikkai University could rival Hyotei University nationwide. When he talked to Atobe, he didn't show much respect, believing that although Atobe was strong, he was only slightly stronger than himself.

As a result, Fuji's shot just now completely stunned him.

In Shishido's view, a return shot of this caliber was simply impossible to return. But judging from Atobe's reaction, Fuji probably used the same tactic against him back then, but still lost.

This means that Atobe's true strength is far greater than he imagined.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Seeing Shishido's reaction, Atobe couldn't help but laugh and say, "Just watch closely, this match will be even more intense than you imagine!"

In truth, Atobe was also quite surprised.

He knew Fuji was strong, but he hadn't expected Akutsu from Yamabuki to be so formidable. At the same time, he was also very fortunate that he...

Bring the Hyotei team over to watch the game.

Regardless of the outcome of this semi-final, it will at least make the Hyotei team members less arrogant and more cautious about the final.

"That's not right."

At this moment, Higashikata from Yamabuki's side frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, Fuji's special move requires the opponent to hit a topspin shot to use it, right?"

More than half a year ago, Fuji appeared in Yamabuki and his battle with Shibukawa left a deep impression on everyone. Among them was the Swallow Return Flash we just witnessed.

"His return shot has topspin."

Mizuki squinted and said, "His serve has a strong topspin, and so does his return."

"As expected of Fuji-senpai."

Tan, standing nearby, nodded in agreement, saying, "A topspin ball that lands deep not only restricts Akutsu-senpai's movement space but also sets the stage for Swallow Return Flash's counterattack."

"elder brother..

'

Yuta's eyes were full of admiration.

He is no longer the impulsive boy he once was. If he could go back to the past, he would never have left Seigaku just because others called him "Fuji's little brother".

During his time with Yamabuki, he experienced so much; the sweat-soaked training and the bone-deep pain helped him grow.

He realized that only his own strength was fundamental, regardless of whether he was in Seigaku, Sarutojima, or Yamabuki.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to understand more deeply just how much of a genius his elder brother was, who was able to develop such amazing moves as Swallow Return Flash, Giant Bear Counterattack, and White Whale.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

The fierce battle continues.

Fuji used the same trick again, repeatedly executing the Swallow Return to Score points from Akutsu. For the last point, he deliberately created an opening, lobbing a high ball to lure Akutsu into smashing it.

*Pat-a-tat*...

In the blink of an eye.

The spike, which was forcefully intercepted by Fuji, landed inside the baseline behind Akutsu.

"Game!"

"Seigaku Fuji, 1-1!"
