Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"call……"

Ju was also surprised, but he had national-level competition experience after all, and he quickly calmed down.

But then, Niou's voice suddenly rang out. "I knew it, you are no longer the same Tachibana you used to be."

Even when mixed among tigers and wolves, a lion remains the king of beasts. But if it associates with a flock of sheep, it will eventually lose its fangs and claws and its wildness.

The former eats meat, the latter chews grass.

boom!

With a thought, Niou activated the skill "Beast Aura".

Instantly, a dark red aura enveloped his body, slowly surging. A suffocating aura was released.

"This is……?"

The Fudomine regulars felt as if they had been startled by the way they were looking at the Rikkai player, and instinctively withdrew their gazes.

Outside the stadium, Ju Xing's bright, dark eyes narrowed to pinpoints as she exclaimed in disbelief, "The aura of a ferocious beast..."

"Hiss...this aura!"

Inoue, who had just arrived, stared at Niou in disbelief.

In just one month, the other party has grown to this extent?

boom!

With a slight frown, Ju hit the serve.

Tap tap!

Upon hearing the sound, Niou moved swiftly like a dark red lightning bolt, appearing before the tennis ball's landing point.

The aura of a ferocious beast greatly enhances his reaction speed and aggression, while the 5% increase in momentum makes his aura appear even more ferocious.

Swish!

Before the tennis ball even bounced off the ground, he slapped it with his racket, almost instantly bringing it close to the ball.

With a loud bang, the tennis ball was violently slammed into the ground by him.

Ju's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Super Jump!"

The so-called "super bounce" is actually a type of half-volley. It just requires a more intense and faster reaction, coupled with a fierce return shot. By the time most people react, the return shot has already scored.

However, it was clear that although Ju had lost his lion-like spirit, his fundamentals and experience remained. His still high spirit level of 4 points allowed him to quickly calm down and move to receive the ball.

Snapped!

The tennis ball was returned by Tachibana, but Niou's dark red figure had already appeared in front of the return shot's trajectory.

boom!

With a powerful slam of his racket, he sent the tennis ball flying back, glancing lightly off the baseline.

"0-15!"

Inoue exclaimed in surprise, "Such a quick reaction!"

The members of Fudomine felt a chill in their hearts. Although it was only one ball, it gave them a bad feeling.

Snapped!

Orange serves.

Tap tap!

Niou reacted quickly, knocking it back with a super jump once again.

Not to be outdone, Tachibana sprinted towards the tennis ball with all her might, simultaneously lifting and striking it with her racket, sending the ball towards Niou's backhand.

"too slow!"

Like a cheetah, Niou rushed to the tennis ball and smashed it.

"This kind of pressure..."

Seeing the tennis ball flying towards his right, Tachibana took quick steps forward and caught the ball in a flying leap.

call!

On the other side, Renou seemed to have been prepared all along, leaping up and smashing the tennis ball.

boom!

chi chi...

The tennis ball spins rapidly upon touching the ground and then suddenly embeds itself in the wire mesh.

"0-30!"

boom!

"0-40!"

boom!

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 1-2!"

"Gudu..."

In the immovable peak, the regulars secretly swallowed.

Their senior, Tachibana, was actually suppressed? And not by technique, but by fierce attacks, each punch landing hard, forcing Tachibana into a corner.

Let's switch courts.

"Hoo hoo..." Ju breathed a few times.

After one game, he actually sweated more than Niou.

The two were evenly matched in terms of physical strength, but the psychological pressure Niou exerted on him during the match was immense. This was the first time he had fought so fiercely since transferring to Fudomine.

For a moment, he felt like he couldn't take it anymore.

"Could it be, as he said, that I have already regressed...?"

Niou's words, like a seed taking root and sprouting, subtly influenced Tachibana's mind. He began to doubt whether his decision to establish Fudomine and start over was the right or wrong one.

boom!

But Niou's serve came again.

chi chi...

The tennis ball, spinning rapidly upon touching the ground, cuts off from the racket swinging out of Orange with an extremely large arc in the opposite direction.

"15-0!"

Inoue, watching from the sidelines, glanced at himself and muttered, "This can no longer be called external rotation..."

With its extremely large change of direction and arc, Niou's serve could perhaps be called a super topspin.

"A super...topspin serve, huh?"

Just then, a familiar, slightly immature voice rang out behind him. Inoue turned around in surprise and saw a short boy wearing a blue and white jacket and a hat watching Niou on the court as he tossed the tennis ball again.

Looking at the three bandages on the boy's face, Inoue laughed and said, "How about it, Longma? That powerful tearing attack from the Divine Castle was hard to catch, wasn't it?"

"It's barely acceptable."

The boy shook his head dismissively. That person's playing style was indeed strange, but he didn't use his brain. He said calmly, "His tennis is dead."

"Ah……"

Inoue smiled meaningfully and said, "Longma, do you know who Kamishiro's opponent was in the Kanagawa Prefecture tournament finals?"

"Ok?"

The young man, Echizen Ryoma, frowned slightly, glanced sideways at Niou who had scored the goal, and said with some surprise, "Could it be...?"

"Yes."

Inoue smiled and said, "The score is 7-5, Niou wins. However, he was not injured by the powerful tearing blow from Shinjo."

You weren't injured?

Echizen frowned. With that kind of volatile tennis, the first ball would usually be grazed to some extent. Unless, of course, the person on the court had anticipated what kind of shot that Shinjo would make.

"impossible."

Shaking his head, Echizen dismissed the idea. When a player's mind is completely focused on judging the opponent's mirage, there's no extra energy to pay attention to the opponent's condition.

Although, when that Divine City uses the Tear-Shattering Power Strike, he strikes that weird pose...

boom!

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 3-1!"

"The two heroes of Kyushu..."

Inoue sighed deeply. Tachibana, completely suppressed by Niou, was nowhere to be seen as the national-level player he once was. He shook his head and smiled, "It seems this match is over."

"No!"

At this moment, Echizen, who was carefully observing Tachibana's condition, said instead, "Mr. Inoue, it seems a bit premature for you to predict the outcome now..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Inoue looked up at Tachibana, whose breathing was somewhat rapid, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whoosh..."

Taking a few deep breaths, Ju tossed the tennis ball up and slapped it across the net.

Meanwhile, Niou on the opposite side increased his speed dramatically, like a predator that had locked onto its prey, launching a swift attack.

boom!

Looking at the tennis ball that had been returned, Ju felt a moment of disorientation.

"Your Highness, if you saw me like this, you'd probably laugh at me, wouldn't you?"
