Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Just because Sanada couldn't do it doesn't mean he couldn't do it.

Phantoms, systems, the path of a con artist...

When everything is ready, he will naturally follow his own path. Possessing three advantages that others do not have, his phantom is not just a simple phantom as described in the original story.

However, despite thinking this in his heart, he said casually, "The path of tennis is one you forge yourself. No one knows what their tennis will ultimately become, including Tezuka and the others..."

"Is that so..."

His tone was drawn out; Banta didn't believe Niou's words at all. This kid, who acted like a brat, would never tell anyone his thoughts.

However, one thing is certain: this Niou is more aware of his current stage than anyone else.

Bantian's expression softened, and he regained his smiling look, saying, "Then it's settled. I have something to do at school, so I'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, he glanced at the door, which was slightly ajar, winked, and lowered his voice, saying, "Young man, you'd better be more restrained..."

"Forehead……"

Niou's lips twitched, but Banta said nothing more and pushed open the door to leave.

As soon as he left, King Ren's expression turned cold.

"The medal from the Kanto Tournament champion? What's this old man going to do? Is he going to make a backup?"

Just then, Bei Yuan walked over, blinked her bright eyes, and asked with a smile, "How did the talks go?"

"It's nothing. He just asked me to lend him my medal from the Kanto Tournament, and I agreed."

"Well……"

Bei Yuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out Ban Tian's intentions. She then smiled and said, "It seems you're quite confident!"

The Kanto Tournament is no ordinary prefectural tournament. Despite Rikkai's undefeated record in the first two matches, a slight mistake in the next two could very well see the championship slip away to someone else...

Renwang smiled noncommittally and said, "That's all for now, let's go back."

Kita-en nodded and boarded the Shinkansen train with Niou. They returned to Shonan in less than half an hour and got home before dinner.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Niou collapsed heavily onto the chaung.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for defeating Tachibana Kippei. Rating: A+. Reward: 3000 points, 100 reputation points, and an orange character card: Tachibana Kippei."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden quest [The Raging Lion], rating S, reward 5000 points, 50 reputation, and the fragment [Acting]."

As soon as he fell, two crisp system notification sounds rang out, instantly dispelling Renwang's drowsiness.

"Ding!"

"The skill [Phantom] and the fragment [Performance] have a 100% compatibility. Do you want to merge them?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Niou made his choice, he felt his five senses become clearer. He could hear his mother, Kitaen, and sister talking, and the sound of his father turning the pages of the newspaper.

On a whim, he opened the status bar.

Name: Niou Masaharu (14)

五维：速3.5、力2.5、体3、技4、精4.5，总和17.5

技能：幻影lv3【橙】，3/7，猛兽气息lv2【橙】、超级外旋发球lv6,【紫】、恶魔化lv2【紫】、数据网球lv1【紫】，其他技能若干。

Points: 11500, Reputation: 1105

Talent: None

Title: Rikkai's Three Giants

Overall rating: Near national level

"This……"

Niou was slightly surprised when he saw his stats. But he quickly calmed down. His consecutive matches against Akutsu and Tachibana had allowed him to break through the top-tier level in the Kanto region and reach a near-national level.

His gaze swept across the area, and upon seeing the reputation value, a smirk appeared on his lips.

Chapter 52 Transition [4/5, Please Subscribe!]

With a thought, he opened the reputation shop.

The minimum purchase amount used to be 1000 points, and Nioh finally reached that standard after nearly two months of saving. Looking around, the market was filled with a dazzling array of orange lights.

White Long, Invasion Like Fire, World of Ice, Cool Interception, Zero-Style Chop...

There are twelve skills in total, each with a different price. White Long, as an advanced skill for the White Whale, is affected by wind and has limitations; it costs 1000 reputation points. Ice World and Zero Style, on the other hand, cost 1200 points.

His gaze swept across the area, and Niou frowned.

Zero Style and Ice World are two extremely powerful skills in the original work, but they are too expensive. Cool Intercept and Invasion Like Fire are both offensive techniques, and with his beastly aura and demonic transformation, he has no worries.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a skill he had previously overlooked, and without thinking, Niou chose to purchase it.

"Ding!"

"The host has consumed 1100 reputation points to obtain the orange skill [Eye of the Mind]."

In an instant, Niou's reputation plummeted to single digits again. It made him feel like he was back to square one, but looking at the description of the Eye of the Heart, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Mind's Eye lv1 [Orange] - Auxiliary skill. When activated, it clears the mind of all distractions, allowing one to act on instinct to counter or defend, and weakens mental attacks to a certain extent."

Nioh can master most basic attack techniques once he gathers detailed information and practices them. He is confident that he can learn Sanada's Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Atobe's Ice World, and even Zero Style through his illusionary abilities.

But Mind is different; its classification is very clear - auxiliary skills.

This is an ability that requires considerable tennis talent and can only be awakened at a specific time. First of all, the conditions for the skill to emerge are subject to very strict limitations.

With the help of this skill, Niou is much more confident about the several fierce battles he may encounter in the future.

"continue."

His gaze shifted, and he opened the lottery page, steeling himself to spin the wheel for 10,000 yuan a turn.

Splash!

The pointer spun rapidly and finally stopped on the inventory.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following item: Super Topspin Serve Orange Advanced Card. Usage restriction: Current skill level is Purple 9."

Skill upgrade card?

Niou glanced at his level 6 Super Spin and suddenly had a sudden inspiration. It seemed that evolving this skill to orange would bring about some incredible change.

Shaking his head to suppress the inexplicable excitement in his heart, he looked at the spoils he had acquired today.

Orange character card: Tachibana Kippei.

Seeing that it was still early, Niou chose to use it.

Just like the scene simulated before, the pitch-black space gradually spreads outwards from Nioh as the center.

Under a vast sky and amidst the boundless clouds, on a red clay field nestled on a hillside, appeared a burly young man with blond hair and wearing a black short-sleeved shirt.

橘！

And since it was Tachibana with long hair, Niou used his Data Eye on her with a thought.

The five dimensions of data remain unchanged, but the overall evaluation is at the national level.

"This……"

He frowned, muttering to himself, "Is this the complete version of Tachibana?"

call!

At that moment, Tachibana on the opposite side tossed the tennis ball over.

boom!

Like a cannonball fired, Tachibana's serve exploded with a bang at Niou's feet. The heavy serve kicked up a layer of red clay.

"So fast!"

Once he realized what was happening, Niou's gaze towards the virtual Tachibana on the other side immediately turned serious.

Half an hour later.

"call……"

With a long sigh, Niou returned to his bed, drenched in sweat. Facing a national-level Tachibana player, he had removed his weights and given it his all, managing only to win three games.

"What an aggressive fighting style!"

Recalling Tachibana's offensive, Niou still felt a chill. If Tachibana in the afternoon was a resurrected lion, then what he had just faced was a lion king in its prime.

In terms of speed, strength, and reaction time, there is a significant gap between him and a near-national-level orange.

He closed his eyes and slowly reviewed the previous matches. Ju's expressions, movements, mental reactions, attacking habits…

Gradually, the man lying on the bed blurred like ripples on water, his face distorted. In the blink of an eye, a young man with blond hair, a black mole on his forehead, and sharp features appeared on his bed.

"call……"

Taking a light breath, 'Orange's' expression changed, reverting to Niou's appearance. "No, the spirit and such are still a bit lacking."

Niou opened the shop, glanced at the item priced at '5000' points, and signed with an orange character card: Tachibana Kippei, and shook his head.

Buying a card just to imitate Tachibana is too wasteful. Besides, he was already exhausted today, so after a quick shower, Niou fell into a deep sleep.

Time flies, and a week has passed.

At Rikkai University, the players were training hard on the court. Their coach, Kitazono, had a serious expression on his face.

For the past month, she has managed the tennis club's finances and daily life in an orderly manner, giving Sanada and the other two a lot of free time. Moreover, she can provide quite effective training advice to each player.

Gradually, her prestige at Rikkai University grew.

"Hey, Marui-senpai, what exactly is the relationship between Kitazono-senpai and Niou-senpai?"

As Kirihara swung his racket, he couldn't help but ask Marui a question.
