Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Chapter 5: A Draw [5/5, Please Subscribe!]

The intense fight between the two left the onlookers stunned.

Someone stared wide-eyed at Renwang's impenetrable defense and exclaimed in shock, "Is...is this guy really a student in the same class as me?"

what?

Sanada, who was launching the attack, paused for a moment, giving Niou a brief opportunity to catch his breath.

"This guy is just an apprentice? And a new one at that?"

A storm raged in Sanada's heart.

Unimaginable, unbelievable, and unacceptable!

His pride, as hard as iron, couldn't accept the fact that Niou was a beginner. Even a draw would be considered a defeat for him.

Failure is a word that is absolutely forbidden in Sanada's dictionary.

Therefore, with a shrewd twitch of his brows, his last remaining hidden aura suddenly erupted.

"This……"

Jin Yuan was startled. His heart, which had witnessed too many changes and was gradually becoming weathered, was actually shaken at this moment.

"Fourth level... no, this aura... he's at least a fifth level strong!"

Seeing Sanada raise his bamboo sword high, Niou felt an extreme sense of danger. It was as if needles were pricking his nerves, causing him to instinctively feel fear.

"no!"

He cannot retreat; if he does, his momentum will dissipate, and he will undoubtedly lose.

call!

At that moment, Sanada's raised bamboo sword suddenly slashed down.

"phantom!"

At the critical moment, Niou instantly activated Phantom. In his mind, the actions of Sanada began to reassemble, and every detail changed was displayed before his eyes.

Swish!

His demeanor shifted abruptly, from mysterious to fierce. He also suddenly raised the bamboo sword in his hand.

boom!

With a loud bang, a tremendous force slammed into their arms. The one at a disadvantage felt immense pressure, as if it would crush his arms.

"drink!"

In the moment of crisis, he roared, his momentum suddenly increasing. He raised both hands sharply upwards, launching a final counterattack.

"Hmph, a futile struggle!"

A cold glint flashed in Sanada's eyes. He had been holding back, but now he unleashed his full power.

Click click...

However, the immense force of the impact caused the bamboo sword, which was originally only used by apprentices, to shatter upon contact.

boom!

With a loud bang, the two were thrown back by the recoil. Bamboo shavings flew everywhere in the kendo dojo.

It's a draw!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden quest [Glory of the Dojo], rating A, reward 2000 points, 20 reputation points, and the skill [Dual Wielding]."

"Dual-wielding lv1: Tennis skills and real-world skills, increases balance with both hands, currently increased by 2%".

The system's voice startled Renwang, whose hands were numb and hanging limply at his sides. "The rewards are so generous?"

A rating of A. has 4000 points and a dual skill in reality and tennis?

"Ding!"

"Tsugaki Manta and Tsugaki Kenji's favorability towards the host increases by 20, Iwayama Yuji's host curiosity increases by 10, and Sanada Genichiro's favorability towards you increases by 10."

Seeing the gazes directed at him by the curator and his son, Niou nodded. But he subconsciously glanced at Sanada's position.

His face was cold and indifferent, his brows furrowed tightly together.

Sensing Niou's gaze, he looked over, then withdrew his emotionless gaze. Sanada turned and bowed, saying, "Master Iwayama, I'm sorry, I lost!"

Lost!

Sanada wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat. Although the result was a draw, his status as a beginner in Nioh made him ashamed to accept such a tie.

"It's okay, just try harder next time."

Yuji Iwayama smiled and comforted him, then turned to Tsugaki and said, "Let's end the match here. Sorry to have bothered you today!"

After giving a slight bow, he left the Tsugaki Kendo Dojo with his students and disciples.

"Niou, well done."

Tsugaki smiled and looked at Niou, saying, "Think about it, why don't you switch to swordsmanship? I'll teach you the Tsugaki family's Tsugaki Ichiji-zan."

"hiss……"

Those around gasped in shock upon hearing this.

Tsugaki Ichiji-zan is the signature sword technique of the Tsugaki Kendo Dojo, not some fancy but superficial martial art like kendo.

Even Tsugaki Kenji, who had been smiling, looked at Niou with a hint of jealousy. Even he wasn't yet qualified to learn that move.

"I'm sorry, curator."

Niou shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My dream is to become a professional tennis player. I came to the dojo just to train myself. Now that I have mastered the basics, it's time to say goodbye."

With that, he bowed to Tsugaki and turned to walk toward the locker room.

"Um, professional tennis...?"

Tsugaki Manta, who originally intended to trick the genius Niou, was first taken aback, and then smiled bitterly.

"More than ten years ago, there was a genius like this. A few years ago, there was a guy from Hyogo like this. Now, there's another one..."

He couldn't help but sigh, "Why do all the kendo prodigies choose to play tennis?"

There was both confusion and helplessness.

The three of them, including Niou, were among the top ten most talented swordsmen he had ever seen.

pity……

bump!

Back home, Niou collapsed heavily onto the bed.

He won by sheer luck today.

Sanada said he lost, and Niou felt the same way.

In the previous matches, Sanada had exhausted a lot of his stamina. When he was about to exert his strength at the end, the bamboo sword could not withstand the pressure and broke.

It can be said that Niou held a considerable advantage in this match.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh, and with a sudden thought, he opened the status interface.

Speed ​​and strength increased by 0.2 and 0.3 respectively after training, which was an unexpected bonus. At the same time, his points reached 10000 again, and his reputation was about to break through 1000 points.

"It's time for a giveaway!"

Chapter Six Skills: Wilderness Survival [1/5, Please customize!]

The hidden quest reward from the Kendo Dojo brought Nioh's points to 10500 and his reputation to nearly 800.

With a thought, he opened the lottery interface and looked at the green, purple, and red lottery columns, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

The last 10000x1 lottery draw yielded the Dry Juice Recipe, a rather lackluster skill, far from the orange-tier skill Nioh had envisioned.

"God help me!"

After a silent prayer, Niou opened his eyes and solemnly chose the purple lottery draw option.

Splash!

The pointer spun wildly, moving back and forth between the three options: items, skills, and talents.

"Skills! It absolutely has to be skills!"

Niou prefers skills that are technically sophisticated and deceptive, such as Tezuka's Domain and Atobe's Ice World. Absorbing high-level skills would greatly increase his chances of breaking through to the national level.

drop!

Finally, the pointer stopped on the skills section.

"call!"

Renwang's tense nerves relaxed, but the system's voice that followed made him suddenly freeze.

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired the orange-level reality skill: Wilderness Survival."

"Wilderness Survival: Orange Reality Skills, covering a variety of wilderness survival knowledge, skills, and methods, such as fishing, barbecuing, starting a fire, finding water sources, and identifying poisonous plants. Mastering this skill will greatly increase the host's chances of surviving in the wilderness."

Suddenly, a flood of strange and unusual knowledge rushed into Nioh's brain. The overwhelming information caused him to feel dizzy for a brief moment.

As the dizziness in his head gradually subsided, Niou raised his head blankly, his lips twitching, and his once bright fox eyes now showed a hint of frustration.

Embarrassment, confusion, heartache...

After a long while, King Niou finally accepted reality.

"Ugh……"

With a bitter sigh, he closed his eyes and said with a wry smile, "This system... I'm in the world of Prince of Tennis, not doing live streaming and competing against Bear Grylls."

All he wanted was to acquire tennis skills and practice more to break through his limitations. But the system played such a cruel joke on him, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

"Forget it, after I retire, I can start a wilderness livestream program."

Technology is not as advanced as it was in Niou's previous life. But he believes that live streaming will definitely become popular in twenty years.
