Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Liu chuckled softly, but didn't say anything.

Shencheng's performance was indeed hard to watch, but his movements didn't seem like he was unable to receive the ball.

"At 1.8 meters tall, his leg strength should be quite good, and judging from his physique, he should also be very strong."

As Shencheng prepared to serve after the change of ends, Yanagi grew increasingly suspicious. "Something unusual must be wrong. In that case, the opponent might be in Niou."

boom!

Shencheng hit the ball with a half-jump, and the ball was very fast, but for Niou, who was running to return the ball, catching up was a piece of cake.

Swish!

As he approached the tennis ball, Niou raised his eyes and glanced left and right at Shinjiro, who was standing in the middle of the court.

"There's a flaw!"

With a clear look, Renwang swung his racket, flicking the bouncing tennis ball back with a half-volley.

boom!

Shencheng ran a couple of times as a symbolic gesture, then gradually stopped.

"0-15!"

"Hey!!"

"This team from Shonan is so useless!"

"Exactly, what's the point of playing? Just forfeit!"

Seeing Shencheng's lazy movements, many people secretly shook their heads.

Being weak doesn't necessarily mean losing, but lacking the will to fight guarantees defeat. Clearly, no one has high hopes for a team like Shencheng that lacks even that fighting spirit.

boom!

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 0-2!"

"This kind of tennis..."

Watching Niou put away his racket, a glint of light appeared in Shinjo's eyes. Planning before acting, using intelligence to play badminton—this was the direction Huacun was guiding him towards, and he was gradually changing in that direction.

Gathering intelligence is one part of this process.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Watching Niou gently pat the tennis ball across from him, Shinjiro Tingjiro slightly hunched his back, adopting a serious stance.

"Losing two games in a row, just for intelligence?" Liu shook his head. This crude method of intelligence gathering might be useful to others, but not to the man known as 'The Fox'...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

boom!

Niou serves the first ball, and the tennis ball flies to the right side of Shinjo.

Tap tap!

He moved quickly, raising his racket as if to smash the ball powerfully.

boom!

The tennis ball was hit and flew towards Niou's left side. He moved with the ball, and as he got close, he pulled his racket out.

boom!

The moment the racket hit the tennis ball, Niou's expression changed.

"Out!"

"0-15!"

"This is……"

He narrowed his eyes slightly as he recalled a certain advanced technology from the original novel, from this divine city.

With a thought, Niou activated his Data Eye.

Title: Machine Beast

Overall rating: Second-rate player from the Kanto region

Second-rate in the Kanto region!

Despite having only two skills, Shencheng surprisingly received a second-rate rating from the system, ranking him as a second-rate player in the Kanto region. Furthermore, his five-dimensional attributes reached a staggering 14.5.

It's worth noting that even Fuji Yuuta, the younger brother of Fuji Syusuke, the genius of St. Rudolph, only had a five-dimensional sum of 12 after training in the back mountains of U-17.

But the divine city before us has reached 14.5!

"The calculation of the five dimensions and the evaluation of strength are not what the host thinks."

At that moment, the system's voice echoed in Nioh's mind.

"Take this divine city for example. It has already been bound by something. The sum of its five dimensions in the future will definitely not exceed 20."

In other words, under Hanamura's guidance, Kamishiro's current form is essentially set; he has no potential left. Furthermore, Kamishiro is a third-year student, while Yuuta is a second-year student, so a difference in physical strength between them is normal.

After understanding and processing the system's words, Niou also realized the truth. Putting aside his many thoughts, he held the tennis ball and looked Shinji up and down.

"It seems that his move just now was the Phantom Style fighting technique."

The Phantom Style, also known as the 'Mirage', utilizes Shinji's exceptional balance to execute tennis balls with varying spin and weight while maintaining the same posture during serves or shots.

This was an extremely sharp move, but Niou, searching through his memories, quickly found a way for Echizen to counter it.

Use it! Or not?

"Let's see first..."

He tossed the tennis ball up, bent his knees and half-jumped, his racket swung down, and hit the tennis ball with a thud.

"So fast!"

In Shonan Castle, everyone except Minister Kajimoto's eyelids twitched. Wakato Hiroshi, wearing his hat backwards, took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect him to not have used his full strength just now?"

Not using full strength at the start is a common tactic for most players, and Wakato Hiroshi was certainly aware of this. However, the problem was that Niou's serve in the first game was already very fast.

Based on the outside world's descriptions of Niou, he subconsciously regarded Niou's serve just now as his highest level.

Tap tap!

On the other side, the divine city moved.

Tall and slender, already quite large for a junior high school student, he quickly moved to the tennis ball. With a squint, he forcefully struck the ball from below.

boom!

The tennis ball was hit, shooting out at lightning speed like a high-speed slice.

"Ok?"

Niou sensed something strange about the ball. He stepped forward, chased after it at the net, and gently swung his racket.

boom!

However, the moment the tennis ball touched the racket, Niou's expression changed. A tremendous force came from the tennis ball, forcing the racket out of his hand.

pat!

"0-30!"

The racket fell to the ground, and the eyes of everyone on Rikkai's side narrowed slightly.

"There's something strange about this ball..."

Even the weakest jackal noticed that the change in the opponent's return shot was quite strange.

"Whoosh... Snap!"

Marui, having popped his bubble gum, blinked and said, "That last shot, the topspin turned into backspin..."

His eyesight was exceptional; he noticed something strange about the first ball. With focused observation, he figured out how to return the ball on the second.

The jackal was startled: "From topspin to backspin? How is that possible?"

"No!"

Liu, standing nearby, shook his head and said, "It is indeed possible. Don't forget, the coach of Chengcheng Xiangnan is known as the 'master of creating works.' Under her targeted training, it's not impossible for them to train strange moves."

Compared to Qian, Liu has a much higher vision.

During his two years of junior high school, Liu's Rikkai team won the national championship consecutively. He had witnessed all sorts of strange tennis styles from across the country.

With his superior perspective, his analysis of the unique aspects of Shinjo's return shot seemed quite ordinary. Like him, most of Rikkai's players, after a brief moment of surprise, returned to calm.

This is the foundation of the king, Rikkai.

boom!

"uot!"

"0-40!"

boom!

pat!

Niou misjudged the heavy ball as a light ball, and the racket slipped from his hand again.

"Game! The city becomes the sacred city of Shonan, 2-1!"

boom!

"Game! The city becomes the sacred city of Shonan, 2-2!"
