Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"This……"

Upon seeing Tachibana's five stats and evaluation, Niou raised an eyebrow. "Looks like I've angered a formidable beast."

As for Ju's near-national level rating, it's because he hasn't faced any real masters in the past few months, and his strength has actually declined.

Looking at Tachibana's data, Niou took a tennis ball out of his pocket, tapped it lightly, and tossed it high into the air.

call!

He then landed on both feet, leaped into the air, and swung his racket behind his head with his right hand.

boom!

The tennis ball shuddered and shot out.

Inoue exclaimed in a low voice, "Super topspin serve!"

"Ah!"

On the other side, Ju watched the tennis ball shot towards her, her eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a dangerous aura.

Having broken free from his own limitations, his mental strength increased, and his observational abilities improved significantly. Niou's serve no longer felt awkward; instead, it was like peeling back layers of an onion, revealing its true nature clearly.

"I see!"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and the muscles in his legs suddenly tensed, causing him to move swiftly to the front of the net like a predator pouncing on its prey.

Off the field, Echizen and Fuji's pupils contracted, and the same thought popped into their minds: "What a terrifying reaction!"

"Whether it's topspin, backspin, or a curve serve, they all have the same weakness, which is..."

He grabbed his racket, a fierce glint flashing in his orange eyes.

"The moment the tennis ball bounces!"

Just as Yukimura countered Niou's super topspin serve, Tachibana also saw through the same weakness, but he didn't have Yukimura's exquisite technique. He couldn't achieve the same feat of striking first after being caught off guard, using technique to counter technique.

But he has another trick up his sleeve – super jump!

Swish!

Just as the tennis ball bounced up, Ju raised his racket and swung it with great force, aiming at the tennis ball and pulling it forward sharply, then smashing it!

boom!

Before the tennis ball could change direction, it was hit squarely by Tachibana's racket. The ball's momentum faltered, and Tachibana forcefully neutralized the spin, violently flicking it away.

Whoosh!

A streak of yellow light flashed past Niou's side before he even landed, and with a bang, the tennis ball hit a valid spot behind him, scoring a point.

"30-40!"

"hiss……"

This time, the audience who saw the return of the ball clearly gasped in surprise.

Fast, too fast!

In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball spun back, scoring a point. Meanwhile, the serving player, Niou, was still suspended in mid-air, unable to return the ball.

"This……"

Jackal was stunned; the return shot had been too shocking for him.

The usually taciturn Liu Sheng gently stroked his chin and said, "He's like a completely different person!"

"A seal..."

Sanada's eyes narrowed slightly; Tachibana's condition was different from his. Otherwise, Niou wouldn't have had any chance of winning. Of course, given the current situation, it wouldn't be easy for him to win either.

Tachibana is not Akutsu. The former has national-level competition experience and her control over power is far superior to that of the latter, who obtained power through special means.

boom!

Renwang served again, this time with his left hand and without using outside spin.

Tap tap!

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Ju, like a charging lion, moved swiftly to the tennis ball. With a flick of his racket, he sent the ball flying back with a super-bouncing motion.

Tap tap!

Niou, like a wolf, roamed along the baseline of the court, catching up with the fast-flying tennis ball and swinging his racket.

boom!

As the ball and racket met, his expression changed.

weight!

The weight of this ball was incomparable to his previous returns. Gritting his teeth, he slammed the tennis ball back.

Swish!

A figure suddenly jumped out from in front of the net, smashed the tennis ball with his racket, and hit the other side of Niou.

"Divide it equally!"

"Whoosh..."

Just two goals were enough to put immense pressure on Niou. The rhythm that he had initially controlled was gradually disrupted by Tachibana.

boom!

The receiving team has the advantage!

When Tachibana scored with a long, backhand smash, everyone knew that the tide of the game had turned.

When Tachibana hit the tennis ball, and Tachibana bounced it back with a superb jump, Niou's expression darkened: "No, we absolutely cannot lose this ball."

If he loses this ball, the price he will have to pay to win the game will be much higher.

tread!

He moved quickly, spotted an opening in the opponent's orange-colored tennis ball, and hit it precisely there.

"Too slow, too slow!!"

Ju's speed increased dramatically; he shouted a few times and raised his racket high in the air.

"This is……"

Niou's gaze flickered upon seeing Tachibana's actions.

boom!

The racket struck the tennis ball, and instantly, to the astonishment of the audience, the tennis ball split into countless indistinct phantoms, flying towards Niou.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

A dozen or so shimmering tennis ball phantoms passed through Nioh, condensed into one, and smashed near the baseline.

"Game! Fudomine Tachibana, 5-2!"

"Blast the ball!"

Having regained his composure, Niou coldly glanced at Tachibana, who was still in his hitting stance. A hint of arrogance played on Tachibana's lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers lightly traced the surface of his racket. "What, where did your earlier bravado go?"

His eyes and demeanor exuded arrogance.

"This is what an orange should be like!"

In Rikkai, Liu's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

The appearance of Chitose awakened the dormant power deep within Tachibana's heart—or rather, the power he had voluntarily sealed away.

Kippei Tachibana, the Lion of Kyushu, has been fully resurrected!

call!

After Tachibana finished speaking, Niou silently took out a tennis ball and gently tapped it twice. Various ideas for solving the problem flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all.

call!

He took a light breath and tossed the tennis ball into the air.

With a light tiptoe, he pressed down with his left hand holding the racket and hit the tennis ball with a snap.

Tap tap!

The audience's eyes followed the tennis ball and caught sight of a dark red shadow. As it ran, the dust scattered across the court was stirred up and parted to both sides, and coupled with its orange aura, it resembled a charging lion poised to pounce.

"too slow!"

With a shout, Ju pulled out his racket, caught the bouncing tennis ball, and then slammed it down with his arm.

boom!

The tennis ball was returned, flying at an angle over the net before plummeting downwards. Niou, who was running towards the net, frowned slightly and extended his racket with a serious expression.

boom!

Just as he expected, the tennis ball was unusually heavy, and the immense pressure on his arm made him feel as if he were hitting a shot put.

With a clever and subtle manipulation, Niou neutralized the force of the tennis ball while simultaneously activating Mirage, delivering a light shot with the posture of a heavy hitter.

Tap tap!

Ju quickly moved to the net, observed the changes on the tennis ball, and gave a cold smile: "Little trick!"

boom!

He swung his racket and quickly pressed the tennis ball down. The light ball was hit by gravity, and its trajectory immediately changed. It slammed into the ground with a thud.

"0-15!"

Mirages, a skillful and deceptive trick, pose no threat to an experienced orange.

Tap tap!

Niou, sprinting at full speed, raised his arm and blocked the incoming tennis ball with his racket. With a loud thud, he used the momentum to pull back and fling the ball away.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball traced a reverse curve, unexpectedly hitting Ju's backhand side.
