The Union of Strength and Speed
Bang!
The tennis ball slammed into Muneyoshi's half of the court, leaving a clear ball mark at his feet.
At the same time, the tennis ball also carries a strong gust of wind, demonstrating the power of the opponent's return shot.
Muneyoshi took a deep breath. He knew that Dōmoto Shingo's strength was not simple. He followed the path of Power Force and Speed Extreme, and his Power Force had reached a very high level. However, he was not unprepared.
Muneyoshi bent slightly at the waist, raised his right arm, stepped forward with his left foot, Muneyoshi stomped back sharply with his right foot, mobilizing all the strength in his body.
Looking at the incoming ball, he quickly pushed off the ground and leaped forward, swinging his racket with a forehand.
Bang!
Muneyoshi caught the tennis ball, but a gust of wind escaped from the net, blowing over his head and kicking up dust at his feet.
Sizzle~
The powerful force continued to tear at the network cable, but Tanegashima and the others knew very well that when the dust rose, it meant that the most dangerous force had been neutralized by Muneyoshi.
This is simply a matter of giving tennis something new.
Bang!
The tennis ball was very fast, giving Dōmoto Shingo almost no time to react. Like a streak of light, it quickly crossed the opposite half of the court.
Step... step...
However, Dōmoto Shingo was prepared, sprinted quickly across the court.
"You actually caught it? Well, can you catch this one?!"
Dōmoto Shingo follows the path of Power Force, delivers tennis balls with tremendous impact with each hit.
However, after seeing that Muneyoshi had caught the ball without much effort, he prepared to use the power of his sprint to further enhance the impact of his return shot.
The combination of Speed Extreme and the Power Force.
The swing of the racket was like a thunderclap.
The immense power also brought terrifying suppression to Muneyoshi.
Muneyoshi knew that standing still would only lead to certain death, so after understanding Dōmoto Shingo's plan, he also took action.
He charged straight at the direction the ball was coming from.
The tennis ball was fast, but Muneyoshi on the opposite half of the court was equally fast. In just a few steps, he was in front of the tennis ball.
Strands of dark light were unleashed with a wave of his hand, instantly enveloping the entire racket.
Bang!
After a sprint, the tennis ball was once again in his racket.
Then, with the support of the dark forces, Muneyoshi continuously weakened the power of the tennis ball, while slightly rotating his racket up and down, using a slice and spin to completely convert the impact of the serve.
Once everything was mostly resolved, I used force in my wrist and swung it out with a flick of my wrist.
Muneyoshi's return shot was ingenious; the tennis ball not only landed directly in Dōmoto Shingo's corner, but it also utilized a slice shot technique.
When Dōmoto Shingo spotted the tennis ball, even with his speed maximized, it was too late; the ball had already bounced twice.
"30-0, Saeki Muneyoshi scores."
Bang!
Back at the baseline, Muneyoshi served again, and Dōmoto Shingo, returned the ball with even more trickiness this time.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball was extremely fast, heading straight for the baseline near Muneyoshi's half of the court.
Tap tap tap...
A dark shadow disappeared on the court, and just as the tennis ball bounced out of bounds and was about to land, Muneyoshi appeared beside it, raising his right racket from below and sharply lifting it towards the ball as it was about to hit the ground.
"Dark!"
Bang!
The instant the racket caught the tennis ball, a dark light enveloped it, and a shot imbued with the Darkness power was unleashed by Saeki Muneyoshi.
Boom!
The ball disappeared the moment it was released, seemingly vanishing from sight, and Dōmoto Shingo, standing at the baseline, had no time to react either.
Rumble~
The tennis ball landed with another loud thud, and Muneyoshi blasted a deep dent into the hard court beneath Dōmoto Shingo's feet.
"40-0, Saeki Muneyoshi scores!"
At this moment, apart from First String who had already witnessed Muneyoshi's strength, everyone else in the crowd was terrified of Saeki Muneyoshi's power.
"If that hit someone, it could probably kill them!"
"Is this yet another monster like Wado -Byōdōin, or Oni Jūjirō?"
Looking at the large crater at his feet, Dōmoto Shingo gripped his racket tightly. He coldly stared at Saeki Muneyoshi opposite him, the current situation seemingly reminding him of some unpleasant memories.
Bang!
"Game, Saeki Muneyoshi, 1-0."
Bang!
"Game, Dōmoto Shingo, 1-1."
Bang!
Bang!
"Game, Dōmoto Shingo, 3-3."
"Hey, no wonder you were once number one, you're really tough to deal with... But you should probably bring out your full strength by now..."
Muneyoshi, who was constantly running on the court, looked at the steady figure opposite him and his expression gradually became serious.
Dōmoto Shingo's skill surprised him, but he didn't stop. With a powerful smash, the tennis ball flew back.
Meanwhile, opposite Muneyoshi, Dōmoto Shingo, as if on the same wavelength, had already taken his stance.
He drew his right racket behind him, veins bulging and muscles swelling on his arm.
"Saeki Muneyoshi, prepare to be attacked!"
The third graders, who were familiar with this scene, were incredibly excited.
"Here it comes, Domoto's ultimate move!"
"Drink it!!!"
Muneyoshi heard a deep, angry shout, and Dōmoto Shingo's arm swelled up even more, the cuffs of his sleeves already torn apart by his muscles.
At the same time, a scorching heat was blown out by the swirling wind.
Boom!
A loud bang echoed in everyone's ears as the ball was struck.
The tennis ball hurtled towards Muneyoshi with terrifying force, its violent aura and fierce winds seemingly threatening to sweep Muneyoshi away.
Dōmoto Shingo's signature move.
Meteor Shower from the Heavens!
Boom...
The ball was as fast as lightning, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, passing right in front of Muneyoshi in an instant, leaving him no time to react.
Rumble...
The tennis ball slammed heavily onto the court, but the force didn't diminish. Instead, it flew out of bounds with another loud bang, blasting spiderweb-like cracks into the low wall behind Muneyoshi.
Its power is in no way inferior to the dark attack that Saeki Muneyoshi used before.
Even stronger!
"Has Domoto's skill level improved again? How could that shot have become so terrifying?"
Looking at the tennis ball still spinning in the low wall, many players on the First String had drastic changes in expression.
Its speed is somewhat close to Ochi Gekko Mach, and its power and strength are close to Oni Jūjirō's Black Battle Axe.
This move combines speed and power almost simultaneously.
"Dōmoto Shingo has actually started combining his power and speed at the World Tournament? Is this the power generated by combining two tag team techniques?"
Saeki Muneyoshi frowned, as did Irie and Tanegashima, who were watching from the sidelines.
Not only them, but even the coaching staff in the monitoring room were quite surprised.
Dōmoto Shingo's attack made everyone present feel a tremendous threat.
"We can't hold back against Oni Jūjirō and Byōdōin anymore, or we might not even be able to get past Dōmoto Shingo!"
Feeling a tremendous sense of threat, Muneyoshi's vigilance towards Dōmoto Shingo increased dramatically.
At the same time, a dense black light began to emanate from his body, and a field began to expand...
Seeing this, Dōmoto Shingo sneered, "So you've finally decided to use your full strength? Then let me test your Path of Darkness!"
Boom...
Boom...
On the court, the two players who were currently battling had completely abandoned defense and launched a frantic attack.
However, Muneyoshi, who was already very wary of Dōmoto Shingo, kept his mental energy locked on Dōmoto Shingo whenever he was about to unleash his ultimate move.
Muneyoshi was always able to anticipate things and then prepare accordingly.
Dōmoto Shingo seemed fully aware of Muneyoshi's actions, but he still didn't stop, constantly using his signature move, "Meteor Shower from the Heavens," whenever he had the chance.
Apart from the first and second balls, Muneyoshi would also use "Falling Light" or "Dark Slash - Chaotic Flower Burial" to counter each of his subsequent special moves.
Each of their attacks created a large crater in the ground beneath their feet or in the low wall behind them.
Neither of them would give an inch, and the situation became extremely dangerous and tense.
