Faint Fluorescent Flame, Light's Attempt

"Rikkai Dai's Yukimura Seiichi scores, 15-30!"

"Um?"

Tachibana Kippei, who had regained some of his strength, and Keith, who had been watching the field closely, frowned. What was going on?

With the skill level of Muneyoshi, it would have been impossible for him to make a mistake with that kind of shot.

"What happened? Was there something wrong with that shot just now?"

Kamio and Shinji were equally unable to understand.

Given their belief that their strongest minister was capable, how could he possibly fail to catch that ball?

"Look into Muneyoshi's eyes!"

Lin Xiu keenly sensed something, and his exclamation also drew the attention of the others.

When everyone looked into Saeki Muneyoshi's eyes, they were shocked to realize that Saeki Muneyoshi pupils were extremely dilated and had lost their ability to focus.

"Finally, I've taken your sight away, Saeki!"

After persevering for so long, Yukimura, covered in sweat, finally showed a happy smile.

Having been suppressed by Saeki Muneyoshi for so long, Yukimura Seiichi had never felt so frustrated.

Yukimura's words finally eased the tension among the Rikkai Dai, but caused a stir among the other schools.

"What?!"

"Visual deprivation?"

Upon hearing this, everyone from Fudomine was stunned. Not only them, but also the students from other schools who were seeing Yukimura's tennis for the first time were astonished.

Such an outrageous ability would have been unbelievable to these people before the competition.

But now, the truth is undeniably before them...

Moreover, Yukimura's opponent at this moment is none other than Saeki Muneyoshi!

The members of Fudomine, Seigaku, Hyotei Academy, Yamabuki, and other schools fell into a deathly silence.

"We've finally waited for this moment. Let's launch our counterattack, Yukimura!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his abdomen, Sanada slammed his fist on the railing in front of him and roared excitedly.

Aside from experiencing that feeling when he fought Yukimura as a child, Sanada hadn't seen it in a long time.

But he still vividly remembers that feeling.

The rest of the Rikkai Dai were also deeply moved.

They had the privilege of witnessing the ability to Annihilate Five Senses once before, during a school ranking competition against Mori Juzaburo.

"Tezuka, is it really possible to do something like this? Depriving someone of sight, depriving them of all five senses... it sounds a bit too much..."

At this moment, the dangerous aura emanating from Yukimura on the field was so intense that even Fuji felt a chill run down his spine.

When did his perception of tennis begin to change?

"I haven't experienced it myself, but Muneyoshi's strength right now..."

After a moment of silence, Tezuka replied faintly, but the way he gripped his shoulders tightly revealed that he was also in turmoil.

Beside them, Akutsu was also in turmoil. His gaze swept over Yukimura, a deep sense of apprehension creeping into his eyes.

However, when he saw Saeki Muneyoshi standing there like a puppet...

He felt a surge of anger. "You damned bastard, how could you lose to someone else before I've defeated you?!"

"Atobe, has Saeki really been deprived of his five senses? Did it start when his reactions became slower?"

Looking at Saeki Muneyoshi standing on the court like a puppet, Oshitari also found Yukimura's tennis skills unbelievable.

"Depriving people of their five senses... it must have been Yukimura's doing."

Atobe noticed the anomaly on the field earlier than everyone else. He initially thought it was just Saeki Muneyoshi's mischievous antics, but he was wrong.

"From the very beginning of the match, he relentlessly attacked without regard for stamina, desperately returning every ball, until just now when he finally managed to suppress Saeki's power, focus, and reaction speed."

Atobe covered his face with his hand, a cold glint in his sharp eyes. "These two guys on the field have actually surpassed me! How can I tolerate this!"

The impact of Yukimura's display of skill on the audience continues to resonate.

Bang!

The tennis ball flew in again, but due to exhaustion, Yukimura's shot was slow.

But on the court, Muneyoshi seemed to have turned into a wooden figure, standing still without making any movement, letting the tennis ball fall beside him.

Snap!

As the tennis ball began to roll on the court, the referee blew his whistle.

"Game! Rikkai Dai High School Yukimura Seiichi scores, score 1:4!"

"Fudomine School's Saeki Muneyoshi, serve delayed!"

"Rikkai Dai High School Yukimura Seiichi, scores!"

"Game! Yukimura Seiichi wins this round, score 2:4!"

After his sight, hearing, and touch were all stripped away, Muneyoshi truly fell into an endless world of darkness.

Nothing can be seen, nothing can be heard, and even the sight we use now cannot perceive anything.

Nothingness, all darkness!

"Annihilate Five Senses... Darkness... Nothingness..."

Actually, it's not entirely accurate to say that Muneyoshi can't perceive everything; he can still sense his own spiritual power.

Muneyoshi even had a feeling that he could easily break free if he used all his mental energy.

However, Muneyoshi was not in a hurry to do so.

It's quite difficult for Muneyoshi to improve his strength now, even though he only restricts his strength to the sixth level and continues his training as usual.

However, the results were minimal.

Once you've truly reached a certain level of skill, further improvement isn't something that can be achieved simply through hard work.

Muneyoshi originally thought he would have to wait until the second half of the school year to return to the training camp for an expedition.

However, unexpectedly, Yukimura Seiichi's relentless attacks actually pulled him into a state of Annihilate Five Senses.

After being plunged into the dark world, Saeki Muneyoshi felt as if he were trapped in a dangerous and suffocating predicament, and he once again felt powerless.

The feeling was faint, but very unsettling, causing his mind to subconsciously want to rebel.

But reason made Muneyoshi hold back, and this feeling of powerlessness gave him a sense of opportunity.

As one of the most important people who drive the protagonist Ryoma's progress in the original work, Yukimura Seiichi is like a final Demon King in the final stage.

Although his abilities were terrifying, his transformation after surviving was also extremely astonishing.

Of course, Muneyoshi's current transformation is beyond Yukimura, but he can certainly try to improve himself.

In the absolute darkness and confinement, Muneyoshi slowly manipulated his mental energy.

In Muneyoshi's mental world, dark forces churned and trembled incessantly.

Suddenly, a silvery-white light rose from the darkness, and the previously turbulent mental world instantly calmed down.

The silvery light, like a crescent moon, cast wisps of "moonlight" into the darkness, blending with the darkness.

One by one, faint Glowing Flame began to appear, almost instantly covering the entire spiritual world.

However, this commotion did not last long; the "moonlight" seemed to be almost completely depleted, and the crescent moon began to dim.

"This won't do... Dark energy alone has reached its limit at this stage..."

The crescent moon in the spiritual world rises and falls, Muneyoshi's thoughts drift as he watches this scene.

"Dark... Crescent Moon... Venus... Venus... Morning... Sunrise... Light!"

Suddenly, Muneyoshi's mind focused. He, who had been diligently cultivating the Path of Darkness, finally remembered that pure darkness was not darkness at all.

Without light, how can there be darkness?

The brighter the light, the more intense the darkness becomes.

Only when the sun is high in the sky will the crescent moon appear brighter.

Light and darkness, these two paths, can actually be seen as one path!

However, due to their opposition and strong exclusivity, once one embarks on one path, it becomes difficult to embark on the other.

However, Muneyoshi also has the path of Qi. As his understanding of Qi deepens, he can always feel the inclusiveness and neutrality of this path.

Can we use air to envelop and merge light and darkness?

Once such a thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

"The match is over. Yukimura was right; Rikkai Dai's victory is absolutely unassailable!"

Sanada Genichirou looked at Yukimura, who was preparing to kick off again, and said in a deep voice.

The outcome of the match became clear after Saeki Muneyoshi fell into symptoms of Annihilate Five Senses.

What exactly happened to Saeki Muneyoshi of Fudomine?

"To give up when they were completely dominating, that's such an obvious sign of them throwing the game!"

"And I've been supporting Fudomine all along!"

Many viewers who were seeing Yukimura's Annihilate Five Senses for the first time, and those who were unaware of what had happened, started discussing it heatedly.

However, as they learned more and more information, they began to praise Yukimura's strength.

On the field.

Yukimura ignored their flattery; fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

As his mental energy was depleted, he also felt extremely tired.

"We need to finish this quickly..."

Then Yukimura began to serve, while Muneyoshi remained standing there like a wooden stake.

Bang!

15-0.

Bang!

30-0.

Bang!

40-0.

"Damn it! Is the minister just going to stand there and wait to lose?"

Even the usually taciturn Ibu Shinji felt angry at this moment, but he did not answer his question. At this moment, the people of Fudomine looked at Yukimura Seiichi with fear in their eyes.

"Minister! Wake up!!!"

Deep down, Shinji regarded Muneyoshi as an omnipotent being, and roared at the crowd.

P. S.: "Requesting monthly votes. The match against Yukimura, plus this is the first time I've described Yukimura in such detail, so there's a bit too much to write about, but he's also someone who helps the protagonist."

The match against Yukimura was the first time Yukimura was described in such detail. Because of Yukimura's unique abilities and the protagonist finding an opportunity to slightly improve his strength, it was written quite extensively. However, Yukimura's abilities, like Atobe's, are among the most challenging abilities in the Prince of Tennis series.
