Prince of Tennis Fraudster

call!

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. He tossed the tennis ball and hit it with a half-jump.

Tap tap!

On the opposite side, the two started moving at the same time, their steps synchronized, and their bodies were actually quite parallel.

Swish!

Swish!

The two rackets swept back and forth, dazzling the spectators. Both Liu Sheng and Liu, preparing to receive the ball, frowned.

"In front? No, it's behind..."

Liu Sheng was startled, but his reaction was a beat too slow. Feng's cross-court shot bypassed him and hit near the baseline.

"0-15!"

"This formation..."

Off the court, Inui was diligently making notes in his notebook. Hyotei's well-organized formation seemed to be more than just a bluff.

"Like phantoms... overlapping mirages..."

Inoue's eyes lit up, and he said, "A mirage with overlapping images?"

"Good name!"

Inui nodded and turned his gaze back to the arena. As soon as Hyotei's new formation was revealed, the two of them instantly took control of the game's rhythm.

Swish!

Swish!

The two rackets are swung back and forth.

"In front? Behind?"

Liu Sheng was highly focused, but his brows gradually furrowed: "No, I can't see through it."

boom!

Shishido swung his racket and struck Yagyu's side with a thud.

"0-30!"

"Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!"...

The roar of "Hyotei" echoed once more, enveloping the entire stadium like a dark cloud over the Rikkai players. The sound didn't diminish; it even penetrated Court 11 and reached another court where a match was being played.

boom!

chi chi chi...

The tennis ball, like a swallow turning, fell quickly and glided along the ground.

"Game! Qingxue, 3-5!"

"As expected of Fuji, he actually took advantage of the slight spin of the tennis ball when it hit the back of the net..."

Outside the stadium, Tezuka, expressionless, nodded. The genius Fuji always managed to change the course of the game by using those subtle, almost imperceptible details.

"Oh, right!" Momoshiro seemed to remember something and asked in confusion, "It's the last game, where did Echizen go?"

Kawamura thought for a moment and said, "He seems to have gone to warm up, right?"

Oishi nodded, then turned to the three people beside him and said, "Horio, you guys go and find him quickly."

"Yes!"

The three nodded and quickly ran out.

After searching for a long time, Horio couldn't find Echizen anywhere and complained, "Knowing full well that he's the third singles player and his match is coming up, why did you choose such a far place for the warm-up!"

"Horio, stop talking."

"Okay, let's hurry up and look!"

Katsuro and Katsuo couldn't help but persuade him, and Horio, supported by the two, had no choice but to stop his nagging. The three of them searched along the way, but couldn't find Echizen. Horio shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not look anymore and go back first."

"and many more!!"

Katsuro's eyes widened, and he pointed to something not far away, saying, "Look!"

"What?"

Horio frowned, but when he looked up, he was completely stunned.

"Echizen and..."

Wearing a hat, Echizen was practicing in front of the wall when a young man with blue hair and wearing an khaki short-sleeved shirt stood in front of him.

"That's from Li Hai..."

boom!

"Game! Hyotei, 4-2!"

"Tsk tsk..."

At Rikkai, Kirihara smacked his lips twice and laughed, "I didn't expect there would be a problem that even Senior Yanagi couldn't solve!"

Sanada frowned and said coldly, "Akaya, be quiet!"

Marui, standing nearby, also said seriously, "Watch closely, this is Liu's true strength."

"Is that so? I understand."

On the court, after hearing Liu's instructions, Liu nodded.

"Ah!"

On the other side, Shishido sneered and said, "As long as we win this game, with Chotaro's instant serve, the match will be ours."

boom!

He half-jumped to hit the ball, then quickly moved to the net, overlapping with Feng in front of him.

Tap tap!

Liu quickly ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball, while raising her head and glancing at the two people overlapping on the opposite side.

"I admit, your doubles talent is indeed very good."

The "Mirage" skill requires exceptional teamwork to execute smoothly. This demonstrates the exceptional doubles talent of the Hyotei pair.

With her eyes slightly open, Liu smiled coldly: "However, your formation has two fatal flaws!"

Snapped!

He lightly sliced ​​the ball with his racket, sending it out as a short shot.

"Hmph, what a little trick!"

The two moved toward the net together, their rackets flipping up and down in a flash, it was unclear who made the move.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Shishido saw Ryuu step forward, while Ryuu also blocked the way from another direction.

"Heh, you think you can break our formation like that? Liu, you're still too green!"

Shishido narrowed his eyes and swung his racket out instantly.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball flew diagonally, over Liu's head, and hit behind him.

"We've got this point..."

However, before Shishido could finish speaking, Yanagi suddenly lowered his head. At the same time, Yanagi appeared behind him, and the latter smiled gently at him.

call out!

The next moment, a beam of white light shot out, like a laser, and struck behind them.

Yagyu's mouth opened slightly, and he softly uttered, "Laser beam!"

Chapter Sixty-One: Bitter Fruit

The ball was returned with laser-like speed, and the court fell silent.

"Laser...beam?"

Hyotei's ordinary players were stunned, and even the starters were speechless. Mukahi rubbed his eyes and asked, "Was that a slice? Or a smash?"

"I can't see clearly."

Shinobu took off his glasses, frowned, and said, "His swing speed is too fast; it's impossible to tell whether it's a slice or a smash!"

"Hey!!" Seeing this, Mukahi's lips twitched, and he looked at the serious-looking Oshitari and said, "Yuushi, your glasses don't even have a prescription, okay?"

"Ah……"

Shinobu gracefully put on his glasses and smiled, "But I'm telling the truth."

"This is bad."

Although the two tried to lighten the mood, Atobe still frowned. He stared at the expressionless Yanagi, then glanced at Yanagi who seemed to have done something insignificant, and said softly, "These two guys are frighteningly calm!"

Breaking through the opponent's formation for the first time would normally be a cause for celebration for most teams. But these two from Rikkai clearly showed no sign of excitement.

"Atobe!"

At that moment, Sakaki, sitting on the coach's bench, spoke up: "Go warm up. We absolutely cannot lose the next game!"

"I see."

Atobe nodded, picked up his racket, and turned to walk off the court. Once the other's figure disappeared, Sakaki's gaze returned to the court, his expression unchanged—serious and indifferent. However, the sharp-eyed Kitazono noticed Sakaki's constantly rubbing hands together.

"Heh, starting to get nervous?"

The girl turned her head and looked at the field. Thanks to Liu's arrangement, Liu Sheng could always appear in the path of the two players' return shots.

A laser beam struck, and the two Hyotei players couldn't even touch the ball.

boom!
