The Use of Qi, Gemini's Style

There was absolutely no element of guessing before guessing the side in the game.

Keith gripped the tennis ball tightly, retreated to the backcourt area, and prepared to serve.

His cold gaze swept over Saeki Muneyoshi before he tossed the tennis ball high into the air.

He tossed the tennis ball into the air, tiptoed slightly, and Keith's tall figure didn't appear stiff at all.

Instead, it is very relaxed, with muscles taut and the body trained to a streamlined shape as it begins to exert force.

He raised his right arm and placed his left hand in front of him, slightly clenched.

The instant the tennis ball fell from a height to his feet, he pulled his racket sideways, and simultaneously launched the falling tennis ball and the pale blue balloon created by his loose grip into the air.

Bang!

Tennis balls move very fast, and without keen Insight, one cannot discern anything special about Keith's tennis balls from the naked eye.

But his opponent was Muneyoshi.

Although I am not very familiar with their methods, I have some understanding of them.

Moreover, his keen mental perception had already detected the clues.

Just as Keith made a grasping motion, a light blue Light Ball appeared in his hand.

The tennis ball being hit at this moment is not simply a trajectory that can only be seen with the naked eye.

A light blue Light Ball surrounds the pale yellow tennis ball and rotates around it.

"This was a direct attack without any probing?"

Muneyoshi's eyes flickered. He wasn't surprised by Keith's choice, after all, both sides knew each other's capabilities.

You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I understand your depths and shallowness.

There is absolutely no need for probing.

"Then let me see the mystery behind your move."

Muneyoshi felt a glimmer of hope. On the night of the attack, Keith and Lin Xiu must have held back and not used their true strength.

However, after a few exchanges, he realized that his opponent's strength was not as simple as it seemed.

However, he had nothing to fear. With a light step, Muneyoshi accurately landed the tennis ball at its target.

However, his gaze remained fixed on the fast-moving pale yellow tennis ball.

He slid his right foot back, swung his right arm back, and swung it at the tennis ball that had just bounced up.

"Bang!"

"Huh? What is this?!"

A glint flashed in Muneyoshi's eyes; the feel of the racket surprised him somewhat.

Just a few centimeters from the tennis ball, the racket face miraculously and strangely dented the net, leaving a mark the size of the tennis ball.

It's like hitting a tennis ball prematurely.

A very awkward, misleading feeling came from my hand before the racket suddenly struck the bouncing tennis ball.

"Bang..."

Because the hitting motion was initiated prematurely, Muneyoshi's hitting motion became somewhat distorted.

The tennis ball was pulled out in a curve that was far inferior to his normal level.

Seeing that Muneyoshi had been hit, Keith on the opposite court stood still, completely unmoved by the tennis ball that Munehiko returned.

A hint of mockery played on his lips as he quietly watched Muneyoshi make a fool of himself.

Thump!

The tennis ball went directly over the sideline and landed outside the baseline.

"Keith, 15-0."

"Is this the Gemini fighting style? Was that the application of Qi just now...?"

Glancing at Keith's confident, all-powerful demeanor across from him, Muneyoshi wasn't angry. He felt as if he had found a wonderful toy.

I felt a surge of excitement.

So this is how qi is used.

Muneyoshi didn't think this move was particularly impressive; rather, he was delighted with the underlying concept.

Muneyoshi saw even greater potential in this move.

Qi has more than just this one simple application.

Thinking of this, Muneyoshi looked at Lin Xiu in the referee's position.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Muneyoshi did not have any special reaction.

The concept of "qi" originated in China and was told to Keith by Lin Xiu.

But Muneyoshi knew Keith's talent, and in the end, Keith's use of Qi was far superior to Lin Xiu's.

"What if I absorbed this concept and incorporated 'qi' (vital energy) into my tennis system?"

Thinking about this, Muneyoshi felt it was highly feasible. First of all, he knew about the concept of Qi, unlike others who found it difficult to understand.

The exception is the various uses of Qi, which perfectly fit his current style, especially the amplification of darkness.

Muneyoshi's lips curled into a slight smile; he was even more interested in Keith's next move.

He needs more material to digest it in the dark; the level of "qi" he just used is probably not enough.

Seeing that Saeki Muneyoshi remained unmoved by his attacks, Keith's light blue eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression didn't change much, after all, he knew Muneyoshi's strength.

With her mouth slightly open, she said softly, "It seems this level really isn't much to you..."

The stronger Muneyoshi is, the more he can resist him, and the greater the sense of accomplishment he will gain when he is defeated.

"Hiss..."

Back at the service line, Keith gripped the tennis ball tightly in his hand.

Swish!

The pale yellow tennis ball was tossed high into the air once more, and a phantom image of a light blue sphere reappeared in his right hand.

Immediately afterwards, Keith mobilized all the muscles in his body.

Bang!

With a sudden downward thrust of his long, powerful arm, the tennis ball exploded against the racket, creating a circular shockwave.

The Gemini gas cloud has reappeared.

"Good, become my nourishment, Darkness, absorb and digest it..."

Muneyoshi's eyes sharpened, gleaming with a fierce light, as he unleashed his full spiritual power.

His perception of aura was heightened to its maximum at this moment, and he once again detected the faintly visible cloud of energy in the air.

Tap tap tap...

Muneyoshi moved with light steps, arriving once again at the point where the tennis ball would land.

This time, Muneyoshi adjusted his hitting posture, shifting his body weight slightly to the left, and swinging his right arm with the racket, raising it slightly backward.

"I sensed the Qi! A brilliant idea!"

With his eyes fixed on the "ball of air" so close at hand, Muneyoshi exclaimed in genuine admiration.

This special kind of physical strength can even become a carrier of spiritual power.

No!

To be precise, it was force that gave birth to qi, and qi then completely merged with spiritual force to become one, thus producing this peculiar and outward change.

Qi and strength, skill and form, form and shape, further enhanced by spiritual power...

Since they can combine in pairs, and they share the commonality of spiritual power, the combination of the three is predictable.

What would happen if they were combined?

No self?

Different Dimension?

Asura Path?

Or are there other paths that have never been seen before?

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Muneyoshi felt he was about to grasp something.

But the whistling tennis ball startled him awake.

He smiled inwardly. At this moment, Muneyoshi didn't care what Keith's purpose was in coming here, but the fact that they brought him the method of using Qi was invaluable.

Skills and strength can be acquired through learning and practice.

However, a sudden flash of insight is a rare and precious opportunity.

At that moment, Muneyoshi understood!
