My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level

Chapter 75 Two Major Characteristics: Instantaneous Burst of Lightning!

"Are you kidding me!"

"We fought so hard just now, and we still couldn't get him to take off the weights on his hands?"

Sengoku and Mizuki were dumbfounded.

The two, who had been feeling somewhat smug, were now struck dumb, their newly regained confidence vanishing in an instant.

"calm!"

"Don't panic, and we know how strong this guy is, don't we?"

But soon, the two calmed down.

After all, their pre-match expectations were only meant to force Shibukawa to reveal his true strength. However, it now appears that Shibukawa's hidden strength is even deeper than they imagined.

"In the third set, Sengoku serves."

Back on the court, Shibukawa looked up at the other side. Sengoku was clearly taken aback, because according to his and Mizuki's thinking, since it was a two-on-one situation, the serving rule should be one-on-one rotation.

But when he thought about how Shibukawa had been playing with weights while playing with them, Sengoku had no choice but to suppress his own insignificant desire to be modest.

boom!

Then.

Sengoku hit the tennis ball.

The ball was fast, but for Shibukawa, it was still at a level where he could see the trajectory at a glance. In an instant, he had moved to the side of the ball's landing point, swung his racket and flicked it, sending the ball flying in a sharp arc towards Sengoku's backhand side shot.

"Don't even think about it!"

The moon moved.

In his tactics, his role was to clear obstacles for Sengoku's attacks. He was a master of data-driven tennis, and aside from training, he had been constantly putting himself through numerous mathematical tests.

This is a method that Guan Yue's coach mentioned when he was abroad. To fully activate the brain, it is necessary to put sufficient pressure on it.

In this situation, subjects like mathematics and physics, which are highly relevant to data, are the most suitable training methods.

Shorthand and mental arithmetic can quickly record and simulate calculation results. The derivation of difficult problems can help Guanyue establish a logical chain of analysis.

Originally, he planned to continue his in-depth research on this path, hoping to produce a major breakthrough for Shibukawa or Akutsu. But now, he had to use his insights from the past month or so ahead of schedule.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Once Mizuki entered a calm, calculating state, Shibukawa's movements, swings, and shots all became simulated numbers and symbols, constantly flowing into Mizuki's brain.

In an instant.

He analyzed the opponent's attack route and immediately took action, intercepting the tennis ball that was heading straight for Sengoku's backhand side.

"The calculation is correct."

"As expected, the data doesn't lie."

After proving her idea was correct once again with the results of the data calculation, a sharp glint flashed in Guan Yue's calm eyes.

Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns, for him, the fog that filled the way ahead has clearly begun to dissipate.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

soon.

The two engaged in a back-and-forth battle at the net and baseline.

If outsiders were present, they would be quite confused by Mizuki's fighting style. Despite having the advantage of terrain, the opponent didn't try to deliver a fatal blow to Shibukawa, but instead started a protracted battle.

But Guan Yue's mind was as clear as a mirror.

He knew very well that once he unleashed his so-called killer move, Shibukawa would immediately retaliate. He would seize the opportunity when Shibukawa was exposed and deliver a counterattack.

On the contrary, Mizuki can only score by creating opportunities for Sengoku, utilizing his explosive, one-hit-kill moves, which are like a boxing finishing blow.

This is, after all, two against one.

If he disregarded his own strengths, why would he team up with Sengoku? Only by fully utilizing their respective advantages could they possibly win this match against Shibukawa.

"As expected of Mizuki, she is indeed very calm."

Shibukawa gave the other person an appreciative look.

Mizuki's playing style is actually very similar to that of Oishi from Seigaku's "Golden Combination" in the original work. In the Kanto finals, facing Rikkai's Nioh and Yagyu duo, Oishi, who was forced into a desperate situation, took the initiative to go to the net and made full use of his understanding of the game to support his partner and guide the game situation.

This ability is also known as "Oishi's Domain." It's an extremely powerful support ability in doubles matches.

Compared to Oishi, Mizuki has a more obvious advantage. After all, he is a data-driven player, able to collect data on his opponents during matches, which allows him to pave the way for his partner more smoothly.

To some extent.

This is equivalent to a fusion of Yamabuki's specialty, the "Cipher Tactics," and the "Oishi Domain," a unique ability exclusive to data-driven players.

However, Mizuki wasn't very skilled at using this technique. Moreover, the two were only temporary partners, and their coordination wasn't as seamless as that of the Golden Duo.

In Shechuan's view, the two players' formation was full of flaws.

But he did not retaliate immediately.

Instead, he used Mizuki's keen observation skills to discover Shibukawa's weaknesses to hone his own abilities. You see, given Mizuki's personality, unless he was forced to be paired with Shibukawa in the school selection trials, that guy would never be willing to compete against Shibukawa.

This is a rare opportunity, and Shibukawa's gains will be even greater than if he were to compete against a monster like Akutsu.

Furthermore, doubles is like two pieces of iron of different sizes and shapes, constantly colliding and polishing each other, adapting to one another. Ultimately, it forms a tightly interlocking structure, much like gears.

Playing more matches between Mizuki and Sengoku can help improve their doubles teamwork.

of course.

The above are all supplementary.

Shibukawa's true purpose was to use Mizuki's hand to completely unleash the ferocious beast behind her.

"Now!"

When Mizuki successfully guided Shibukawa's return ball towards Sengoku, he decisively moved aside.

Then.

He then revealed that he had already completed his preparations, his eyes were sharp, just like Sengoku in a boxing match, seizing the opponent's weakness to deliver the winning blow.

boom!

The next moment, the ball and racket collided.

The explosive ball, unleashed by Sengoku with all his might, transformed into a pale yellow light and instantly arrived in front of Shibukawa.

But unlike before, this time Shibukawa was facing the incoming ball with a poised stance.

His feet were staggered, one in front of the other.

Pulling the body's center of gravity backward, like a bow drawn to its fullest extent, the power of the legs, hips, waist, and shoulders is transmitted like a chain, ultimately converging into a single point.

This is the new characteristic [Instant Burst] that Shechuan activated after breaking through to Iv6 in her boxing skills within the past month.

"This is?!"

Sengoku's pupils suddenly contracted.

Only a true expert could see how decisive and swift Shibukawa's move was. At the same time, the extent to which the opponent utilized his physical strength also greatly shocked him.

"Even advanced students probably couldn't achieve that level of explosive power, right?"

He knew that Shibukawa also practiced boxing, so he wasn't surprised that his opponent could use the same method of generating power. But Shibukawa's control and application of power completely exceeded his expectations.

boom!

In an instant.

The concentrated power collided with the incoming tennis ball. But Sengoku's powerful shot was instantly blasted away.

Whoosh!

A flash of yellow light.

Whether it was Kanzuki in front or Sengoku behind, the hairs on their bodies instinctively stood on end the moment the tennis ball passed by.

fast!

too fast!

Moreover, the power that tennis brings together is probably something they can't withstand.

thump.

The tennis ball lands on the ground.

Shibukawa's voice followed: "0-15".

"This is troublesome."

Guan Yue turned her head and exchanged a glance with Sengoku, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

The unburdened Shibukawa was more terrifying than they had imagined.

But neither of them were the type to give up easily. Faced with a formidable opponent, they quickly regained their composure after a brief moment of panic, then rallied their spirits and gave it their all to continue the match.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

on the field.

The three clashed fiercely.

Despite being outnumbered two to one, and with his opponents' coordination increasing over time, Shibukawa clearly controlled the pace of the game, putting both opponents on the back foot and leaving them breathless in less than 20 minutes.

"This guy's stamina..."

""

"Don't even think about it, he's a monster."

Sengoku shook his head and interrupted Kanzuki: "Even if we play another round, we'll be the first ones to collapse from exhaustion."

"Um.

""

Guan Yue nodded emphatically.

The more he interacted with the guy opposite him, the more terrifying he became. It was hard to imagine that he had once thought of recruiting him to St. Rudolph.

There is no other way.

Banishing these distracting thoughts, Guan Yue said in a deep voice, "He seems to have some kind of ability to quickly repair his own weaknesses. If this continues, we have absolutely no chance of winning."

With the match nearing its end and Shibukawa having already secured match point, the two had no choice but to fight to the death.

"I'll create an opportunity for you later."

"You need to use your strongest move to shut this guy up!"

Tennis matches are, to some extent, a contest of momentum and belief between the two sides. If Sengoku can break through Shibukawa's defenses again, they might still have a chance.

"good!"

Sengoku gave a resounding reply.

Faced with this desperate situation, the two went all out, using every trick in the book. In the end, Miyuki actually managed to seize an opportunity.

Snapped!

Positioned at the net, he seized the opportunity after Shechuan created space and delivered a beautiful short shot.

Tap tap!

The latter reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward and lifting the tennis ball high into the air before it hit the ground a second time.

Swish!

But at that moment, Sengoku, who had been prepared, suddenly jumped. Unlike Mizuki before, Sengoku leaned forward, allowing him to release his power to the maximum extent.

Furthermore, his own strength, as well as his understanding of how to use and smash, far surpasses that of Mizuki.

In Sengoku's view, even if Shibukawa mastered the counter-attack technique of "Giant Bear Counterattack," he would absolutely not be able to withstand a strike that was infused with all his power.

boom!

The thought crossed his mind, and Sengoku suddenly swung his racket down.

In an instant, the tennis ball crashed down like a cannonball. It was incredibly fast and its power was astonishing.

really.

Shibukawa seemed to realize that he had no way to retaliate, so he didn't even use the [Giant Bear Counterattack] move.

"Is this your strongest move?"

But just when the two thought Shibukawa had given up, he smiled and looked up at Sengoku in mid-air: "I think it's time for you to experience truly top-notch ball skills."

Swish!

Almost at the same moment Shibukawa spoke, he suddenly raised his racket. To the astonishment and disbelief of Sengoku and Mizuki, he slammed the tennis ball down like a cannonball.

Crack!

In the dim light, the two seemed to see a blue-white arc of electricity spilling out.

It was none other than the new trait activated by Shibukawa's upgrade of his swordsmanship skill to Iv6—[Thunderbolt and Lightning]!

boom!

next second.

The ball and racket collide.

Sengoku, with his excellent dynamic vision in mid-air, could see clearly that his smash had little effect after touching Shibukawa's racket.

The opponent's racket didn't even waver.

stable!

That's too stable!

Shibukawa's counter-attack smash left Sengoku completely dumbfounded!

"Wait, wait... what's that?!"

Just when he thought it was over, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a burst of blue and white light. Then, the tennis ball was completely enveloped.

A flash of lightning.

Electric arcs raged.

A nameless fear spread through Sengoku's heart.

For Kanzuki, standing on the court, the sound of lightning exploding in his ears was like a thunderclap from a clear sky. He couldn't even see the trajectory of the tennis ball, only vaguely catching a trace of lightning, when he heard a muffled thud behind him.

The tennis ball lands on the ground.

Then.

The tennis ball, still carrying considerable force, bounced up and instantly pierced the barbed wire behind the two players.

There was a loud bang.

The hard iron mesh surface had visibly collapsed!

"hiss..

"7

Guan Yue instinctively turned her head to look, and when she saw the scene behind her clearly, she gasped in shock.

"Glug."

Sengoku swallowed hard.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if he actually tried to catch that ball. Shaking his head, Sengoku dismissed those terrifying possibilities, and when he looked up, his gaze met Mizuki's.

Immediately, a bitter smile appeared on both of their faces.

really.

Ignorance is bliss.

The two of them actually tried to force each other to reveal their true strength, and even after winning a round by sheer luck, they had the idea of ​​defeating each other.

Looking back now, it seems so ridiculous.

When the gap is visible, one might feel apprehension or envy. But when the gap becomes unimaginable, only deep awe and reverence remain.

"but."

After the initial shock, the two looked at Shibukawa simultaneously. Besides deep awe, their eyes also held a strong sense of excitement.

After all, the person in front of them was no match for them.

On the contrary, with someone like that leading the team, they can compete for a place not only in major competitions, but also in the Kanto region and even the national competitions.

Sengoku had already foreseen the fascinating expressions on the faces of Seigaku and Hyotei when the fully-formed Yamabuki appeared at the Metropolitan Tournament.
