Prince of Tennis Fraudster

A figure suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her so much that her face turned pale.

Then she saw Renwang, covered in sweat, looking at her with a smile: "What? Our meticulous and unparalleled manager of Beiyuan can be fooled a second time?"

"you you……"

Kita-en was so angry she couldn't speak. She pointed at Niou through gritted teeth. But upon closer inspection, she could see the outline of his chest muscles, revealed by the water stains on his clothes.

That was Niou, trained for at least 10 hours a day for more than a month.

Niou looked at her innocently: "What's wrong with me?"

"You... scoundrel!"

After saying that, Beiyuan climbed ashore. Because her clothes were wet, her curvaceous figure was revealed, which made Renwang blush.

"You big idiot, why are you blushing?"

"Well..."

"what!!"

Kita-en screamed and ran off into the distance. Ni-ou, however, frowned and cried out, "I can't move my legs!"

But the girl completely ignored him.

"Hey! It's true, I can't move my leg, ouch..."

A burning sensation came from his knee. That was because the wound had been soaked in seawater and had become salty.

Unfortunately, the girl, having been deceived by him twice, subconsciously assumed that he was deceiving her.

"Alas, harming others harms oneself, harming oneself harms oneself..."

Gritting his teeth, he climbed to the shore, gripping the concrete blocks tightly with both hands. It took him a great deal of effort to finally climb ashore.

"Whoosh..."

He was lying down when he heard the girl's voice coming from afar: "I'm leaving!"

"Ok?"

Renwang's expression changed, and he quickly got up, only to see that the girl had already reached the road.

"you……"

"I'm going back to Hokkaido."

The girl smiled at him and said, "You big idiot, thank you. I'll remember you forever!"

As she spoke, her voice became slightly choked with emotion.

Turning her head, she wiped away her tears and whispered, "Niou Masaharu, I will never forget you."

"Hey! Beiyuan!"

Renwang called out several times, but the girl didn't stop. He gritted his teeth and limped after her. But when he got to the roadside, there were only passing cars and hurried pedestrians; the girl was nowhere to be seen.

"Ugh……"

Ren-ou leaned against the railing with a dejected expression, feeling as if a piece of his heart was missing.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Hospitalization [Seeking first subscriptions and self-subscriptions!]

Back home, Niou's mind kept replaying Kitaen's image all afternoon. Feeling an emptiness in his heart, he knew he had fallen for her.

He felt a pang of regret; he should have told Beiyuan his thoughts back then. But especially with such immature feelings, it's often only after they're lost that we realize their value.

As night fell, after dinner, Niou lay down on the bed.

"Ugh……"

That figure still lingered in his mind. But what could he do? Regret, resent his own indecisiveness? It was all meaningless now.

"Hokkaido? Someday, I will go there..."

Trying his best to block out that figure, Niou roused himself and opened his data panel.

Talent: None

Title: Li Hai Zhengshou

Overall rating: Second-rate player from the Kanto region

His mental and technical abilities have improved significantly, likely due to the fusion of his soul and the awakening of his phantom. However, his assessment remains that he is still a second-rate fighter in the Kanto region.

He remembered that when he checked Marui's data, it was clearly marked as "top-tier in the Kanto region".

"It seems that guy has been hiding a lot of strength."

With a change of heart, looking at the reputation and points he had accumulated through the regional competition, Renwang hardened his heart and resisted the urge to draw a prize.

With just 2500 more points, he could participate in an intermediate lottery, significantly increasing his chances of obtaining high-quality skills. After all, his current basic abilities were already quite good, even within Rikkai.

The best approach is to save your points and use them wisely.

Then, he opened the quest panel. Today's match with Yukimura not only completed the "King's Trial," but also unlocked the follow-up quest for the Buddhist prayer beads.

"A legend that doesn't exist!"

He murmured softly, his gaze lingering on the ordinary-looking Buddhist prayer beads, their color and patina quite plain.

"This mission seems quite interesting..."

He thought about it carefully. This task shouldn't be about the fragments of the [Path of the Conman]. But judging from the quality and function of the prayer beads, this task was not easy.

"Ah……"

Looking at the Buddha statue radiating a hazy, gray light, Renwang smiled slightly. If it weren't for this thing, he would probably be in serious trouble today.

Recalling Yukimura's destruction of the five senses, he still felt a lingering fear. But then, thinking of the other party's current state, Niou's eyebrows furrowed even more.

"In the original story, Yukimura apparently fell ill and was hospitalized after the prefectural tournament, right?"

crunch~

Just then, the door to the room opened, and a small head peeked in—it was Natsumi. Seeing the tear stains still wet on his sister's eyes, Niou was reminded of that delicate face.

Composing himself, he asked, "Xia Shi, is something the matter?"

"Ah."

Because of Kita-en's departure, Natsumi put aside her mischievous thoughts and nodded, saying, "Mom said that someone from your school just called, I think it was someone named Sanada..."

What did he say?

"Well……"

Xia Shi's eyes darted around, but remembering her mother's instructions, she obediently replied, "It seems someone is in the hospital and they want you to go over."

"Yukimura!"

Renwang's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly.

“Yes, yes!!” The little guy nodded and said, “It’s Yukimura.”

Renwang quickly changed his shoes and ran to the living room, asking anxiously, "Mom, which hospital did my classmate go to?"

“Kinda General Hospital, by the way…” Keiko said, then asked, “Is this Yukimura from your tennis club?”

"Yes, it's our minister!"

As Niou spoke, he quickly pushed open the door and went out. Watching his retreating figure, Makoto slowly put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Minister, Yukimura... Yukimura Seiichi!"

As a tennis fan, Zhenlian knew a bit about tennis in China, especially since Rikkai was the top tennis school in the country. He had naturally heard of Yukimura's name.

"It seems something unexpected must have happened..."

Zhenlian narrowed his eyes. Without Yukimura, Rikkai was definitely severely weakened. As a result, Rikkai's chances of winning the national tournament this year were much lower.

"Heh, that kid's difficulty level has increased."

This was something he was happy to see. If Rikkai, where Niou played, could still win the national championship under these circumstances, it would show that he did indeed still have some hope in tennis.

"Son, don't let your old man down..."

Jintian General Hospital.

Renwang got out of the taxi and rushed inside. In the hall, Liu, dressed in a long black robe, was waiting for him.

"Where is Minister Yukimura?"

"Fifth floor, I'll take you there."

As Liu spoke, she led the way, though she was somewhat surprised. Just now, Niou had said 'Yukimura,' not 'Minister.' For the past month, Niou had consistently referred to him as the latter.

"Was it a moment of panic, or..."

Liu slightly opened his squinted eyes and had a premonition that Yukimura's purpose in only calling the three of them over was probably not so simple.

Ward 324 on the 5th floor.

When Niou and Yanagi entered, Sanada and Yukimura were talking. Upon seeing the two arrive, a slight smile appeared on Yukimura's pale face.

"You're here!"

He gestured for Sanada to help him up, so he could sit half-upright on the bed. Looking at the three of them, he smiled and said, "Since you're all here, then I'll speak..."

As Yukimura finished speaking, the three of them became solemn.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed twice, and a sickly flush rose on Yukimura's pale face. The three men tensed up at the sight, but he waved his hand and said, "It's alright."

Looking up at the three of them, his expression turned serious, and he said, "I'm afraid my body won't recover before the National Tournament ends."
