Seeing this, he moved quickly, gently turned his racket, and struck the tennis ball with the edge of the racket.

boom!

In an instant, the tennis ball flew out.

"Hehe, we can't let Da Shi steal all the limelight, can we?"

Upon seeing this, Kikumaru quickly darted out, but when he reached the tennis ball, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Swish!

Almost instinctively, he turned his body to the side, letting the tennis ball fly out.

Tap tap!

Seeing this, Oishi quickly stepped in and returned the tennis ball. He then asked, "Eiji, what's wrong?"

"Two, two..."

Momoshiro asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Echizen pulled his hat down low and said in a deep voice, "That guy named Yagyu can also use the Shadow Ball."

The three Horio members were startled: "What?"

"As expected of Rikkai, Akazawa's Shadow Ball technique can be learned by anyone."

Outside the stadium, led by Mizuki, people from St. Rudolph also came to watch the game.

Momoshiro clenched his fist tightly: "This is troublesome. Kikumaru-senpai is going to be completely blacklisted now."

By sending two players who can use the Shadow Ball in doubles match one, Rikkai's intentions are quite clear.

Sniper Kikumaru!

boom!

"40-30!"

boom!

"Divide it equally!"

boom!

"Dominance in receiving the ball!"

boom!

"Game! Li Hai, 1-0!"

"Whoosh..."

Oishi, playing in the backcourt of Seigaku, was covered in sweat and breathing more rapidly than usual.

"Oops!"

Inui's hand trembled, and he exclaimed, "Their target isn't Kikumaru, it's Oishi!"

The target of the Double Shadow Ball was not Kikumaru, who had excellent dynamic vision, but Oishi, who was standing behind Kikumaru.

Niou knew very well that the most dangerous member of the Golden Combination was not Kikumaru Eiji, but Oishi Shuichiro, who had a somewhat comical egg-shaped haircut but possessed extraordinary insight and judgment.

The plan he initially devised for Yagyu and Kirihara was aimed at Oishi!

"Once the big rock is broken, the golden combination will cease to exist."

boom!

"Game! Li Hai, 2-0!"

boom!

"Game! Li Hai, 3-0!"

boom!

"Game! Li Hai, 4-0!"

"Ruined!"

Seeing that four innings had been won in the blink of an eye, Horio grabbed his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Oishi-senpai is being constantly targeted, and Kikumaru-senpai can't help at all. We're doomed, the golden duo is going to fall apart!"

"Whoosh..."

Oishi single-handedly caught the incoming afterimage ball. The match then became a two-on-one attack by two Rikkai players, which caused Oishi's stamina to be depleted exponentially.

He was covered in sweat and breathing heavily to relieve the pressure.

"Dashi..."

Kikumaru looked at his exhausted partner, his expression complex. The tennis ball, originally intended for him, had been blocked by Oishi. He could feel his teammate's intentions, but this only made him more frustrated and guilty.

"Oishi originally wanted to conserve Kikumaru's strength, but he ended up falling into his opponent's trap..."

Qian gently closed the notebook, glanced at his old friend, and said in a low voice, "As expected of Renji, he has completely figured out the personalities of the Golden Duo."

Fuji frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "If this continues, we're going to lose..."

boom!

"0-15!"

boom!

"0-30!"

boom!

"0-40!"

The three Horios clutched their heads and cried out, "We're doomed! We're really going to lose this time!"

"Shut up!"

Beside her, Haitang, still looking somewhat tired, widened her eyes and said in a low voice, "Shh~"

The sound was like the hiss of a venomous snake, which frightened the three into silence.

boom!

Exhausted, Oishi served again. On the other side, Yagyu, who was running quickly toward the tennis ball, glanced at the two players' positions and smashed the tennis ball with the edge of his racket. Instead of attacking Kikumaru, he hit Oishi directly behind him.

"Whoosh..."

Daishi took a couple of breaths, a determined look in his eyes, and dragged his tired body toward the tennis ball.

Tap tap!

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him—Kikumaru, his face tense. He stared intently at the tennis ball until he could clearly see its shape, then with a swift stroke of his racket, he hit it into the gap between the two opponents.

boom!

"15-40!"

"Ok?"

Kikumaru's appearance surprised everyone outside the stadium. But upon reflection, it made sense.

Oishi is already nearing his limit; it would be illogical for Kikumaru not to intervene.

"Dashi."

Kikumaru looked at Oishi and gave him a wink.

"Eiji... Okay, I understand."

Sensing his own condition, Oishi nodded slightly. Regaining his stance, he tossed the tennis ball up and hit it with a half-jump.

"Hey, time to change people?"

Kirihara chuckled softly as he ran. Niou's tactics were designed to defeat them one by one. Once Oishi's stamina was worn down to a certain extent, Kikumaru would naturally step in.

He spun his racket and smashed the tennis ball with the edge of the racket.

boom!

The tennis ball, with a slight, rhythmic tremor, flew towards the other side.

Tap tap!

At this moment, all the spectators' attention was drawn to the movements of the Seigaku team. Oishi, who was originally standing at the baseline, rushed to the net, while Kikumaru moved to the back to defend.

Horio was taken aback: "This is...?"

call!

The tennis ball passed by Oishi, but he didn't choose to return it. Kikumaru behind him flicked the ball and smashed it away.

"Hey, just like Niou-senpai said, they really did switch places..."

Kirihara smirked and smacked the tennis ball at him.

In the original work, Seigaku is famous for two areas. One is the well-known Tezuka Domain, and the other is Oishi's special ability, the Oishi Domain.

"But after expending so much energy, Oishi, your concentration must be running low, right?"

Niou narrowed his fox-like eyes. At this stage, without mastering the golden combination of synchronization, it would be impossible to escape the chessboard he had set up.

boom!

boom!

However, Rikkai's final shot couldn't break through Kikumaru's defense. Using his speed and special hitting techniques, Kikumaru had built an impenetrable wall of defense at the back of the court.

"This……"

Niou paused slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"I see……"

After carefully observing Kikumaru's movements, he realized what was going on.

"Kikumaru, it seems I underestimated you."
