Sanada and Yanagi's expressions changed: "Yukimura..."

But Yukimura raised his hand, interrupting the two, and said, "I know my body better than anyone else. This illness is not so easy to cure."

"so……"

His gaze slowly moved across the three faces, and he said calmly, "While I'm away, Rikkai is in your hands!"

"What?" Sanada's expression changed, while Yanagi seemed to be deep in thought.

Yukimura was referring to "you all," but among the three present, besides himself and Sanada, there was also Niou. Sanada was aware of this as well. His surprise stemmed from two things: first, the shock at the severity of Yukimura's illness, and second, his astonishment at Yukimura's favor towards Niou.

"That's right, it's the three of you."

He looked at Sanada and said, "You, Yanagi and Prince Ren. While I'm away, you will be the new Rikkai Three Giants!"

"really!"

Having confirmed her suspicions, Liu glanced at Renwang beside her. Renwang remained calm, as if he had anticipated this outcome.

"It seems they must have talked about this before."

Sanada immediately objected, "I disagree!"

As he spoke, his gaze, sharp as a blade, swept over Renwang's face. He said bluntly, "Yes, I admit he has a lot of talent in tennis, but he can't handle this responsibility yet."

This wasn't because he was prejudiced against Niou, but rather a genuine statement.

The three giants of Rikkai appear glamorous and glorious on the surface, but the pressure they truly bear is unimaginable to ordinary people. And Niou, in Sanada's eyes, clearly lacks that ability.

More importantly, and what Sanada couldn't accept, was that Niou didn't feel a sense of belonging to Rikkai. He simply couldn't agree to let someone who didn't identify with Rikkai lead the team.

Seeing that neither Yukimura nor Niou had any objections, Sanada continued, "Both Yagyu and Marui are more suitable for this position than him."

Yukimura smiled and asked, "Are you finished?"

Liu didn't react, but Sanada added, "Besides, Liu and I are enough!"

Their attitude was so resolute that they were not afraid of any objections from King Ren.

"Ah……"

Yukimura smiled, glanced at the silent Niou, and said, "I fought him at noon today."

Swish!

The perceptive Sanada and Yanagi immediately changed their expressions.

Then Yukimura said, "5-4!"

boom!

These words were like a terrifying storm, exploding instantly in Sanada and Yanagi's minds.

5-4!

That Niou, the guy Sanada and Yanagi considered insignificant, actually managed to get four innings from Yukimura?

"Hahaha……"

Sanada chuckled a few times, his expression softening slightly, and said, "Yukimura, you didn't need to say that."

In his view, Yukimura had no reason to lie for Niou. It wasn't worth it, and it would lower his own standing.

To everyone's surprise, Yukimura laughed and said, "I didn't hold back."

"Forehead……"

Sanada's smile froze instantly, and Yanagi beside him was also shocked.

No water was turned on? How could there be no water?

"Could it be..."

Sanada turned to look at Niou, his twin-bladed eyebrows furrowing, and said coldly, "You..."

“By luck!” King Ren replied.

Sanada had been targeting him ever since. Niou, initially confused, realized his recent unsociable behavior and understood.

Indeed, if he were Sanada, he would not agree to appoint someone who has no sense of belonging to the group as a leader.

But while he understood, he couldn't remain silent any longer: "If Yukimura were at his peak, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to win a single game."

The tone was humble, but it made the attitude clear.

That's right, he did indeed win four games against Yukimura based on his own strength.

Sanada and Yanagi were immediately shocked.

It's true, this guy really beat Yukimura in four games.

They had known Yukimura for three years, and Sanada had even known him since elementary school. Their understanding of Yukimura was that even with his physical ailments, his strength was still definitely at the national level.

And Nioh was able to achieve such a level.

It's a miracle that he has improved to such an extent in just one month after putting down tennis for two years!

"But……"

Sanada was about to say something when Yukimura interrupted him: "I know what you want to say. But this matter is decided!"

Upon hearing this, Sanada's expression changed several times, his heart filled with complex emotions. But in the end, he said nothing more.

Liu had no objections, because he knew that Yukimura must have had his reasons for making such an arrangement. Furthermore, his view of Niou was not as extreme as Sanada's.

Yukimura nodded and said, "That's settled then, you can go back now."

He was indeed a little tired.

The three exchanged a glance, nodded, and left the ward one after another. Liu Jiangmen, walking last, closed the door, while Sanada, ahead of him, stopped Niou.

Ren-ou's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Humph!"

Sanada narrowed his eyes. His resistance to Niou becoming one of the new three leaders, on par with himself, was not as strong as before. But he could not let go of the one who had caused Yukimura's old illness to relapse.

call!

Without saying a word, he swiftly swung his fist, aiming for Renwang's abdomen.

Swish!

However, Niou's speed surprised him, causing his punch to miss. He didn't go all out either; he withdrew his fist, gave a cold snort, and left.

Seeing this, Liu comforted King Ren, saying, "Don't be angry, he was just too anxious."

Yukimura's illness hadn't been fully cured and still posed a risk of relapse. The match against Niou merely signaled the danger beforehand, which was far better than discovering and treating it later.

In a way, Niou also saved Yukimura.

"nothing."

Niou waved his hand, indicating he genuinely didn't care. He knew Sanada's personality better than Yanagi did.

The two chatted for a while, then went home separately.

Fifteen chapters have been updated and released. Update notes.

The new book's performance is not as good as Shunyi's, far worse, and much worse than I expected.

However, because I have an outline, I will try to write for a while. When writing on Feilu, subscription numbers can influence an author's mood to some extent. I believe the results will be better, and I ask for your continued support.

Note: There are posting restrictions in Feilu's book review section, so I can't answer everyone's questions individually. If anyone has any questions, you can join the QQ group: 459086610

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Scorching Summer Day [1/5, Please Subscribe!]

The cool and refreshing month of May passed quietly amidst the daily training. June arrived, and the air gradually became muggy, making it harder to concentrate fully on training.

3:30 PM, Rikkai University.

boom!

boom!

On the tennis court, contrary to usual practice, everyone was training like crazy.

Tap tap!

Nakagawa quickly ran towards the net, where his opponent was none other than Nakajo, who had finally been allowed to compete again.

"Damn, this guy's short game is amazing!"

Thinking of the consequences of losing this point, Nakagawa gritted his teeth and suddenly increased his speed. At the last second, he caught up with the tennis ball before it hit the ground a second time.

Swish!

He raised his racket and hit the tennis ball behind Nakajo.

"Game! The match is over. Nakagawa wins, score 76!"

bump!

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Nakagawa plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

"what!!!"

On the other side, Nakajo, who had been forced to drink some kind of green liquid, screamed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The referee glanced at him coldly and said, "Someone, take him aside and let him rest."

The chilling tone of the voice made Nakagawa, after his victory, feel as if he had escaped from hell. They didn't know when it had started, but this strange liquid had become a part of their daily training.

"That's right, it's that guy!"

As his oxygen-deprived brain regained some consciousness, Nakagawa looked up at the arena where the regular players were playing not far away.

The two currently competing are Kirihara and Marui. They are gritting their teeth, as if they want to devour each other. Their murderous aura and seriousness are even more terrifying than during the school tournament and the main competition.

It all started with that large glass of red liquid on the table next to the stadium.

Nioh juice!

Since Captain Yukimura was hospitalized, the team's leadership, the Rikkai Big Three, has been replaced by Sanada, Yanagi, and Niou. Initially, Kirihara and other regulars did not acknowledge this, but under Sanada's strong suppression, the dissenting voices disappeared.

But despite their silence, the group still disobeyed Niou's orders in their actions. Until, the appearance of Niou's Juice…

This is an extremely unpleasant-tasting liquid, and no one knows how Niou made it. At first, everyone called it 'poison,' but after testing, it was found to be not only non-toxic but also possess excellent nutritional value and a cooling effect.
