Sun Eclipse

"But my power isn't just this much, so let's try this!"

With a quick step, Muneyoshi arrived at the tennis path in just a few strides.

He raised his right arm, his elbow slightly bent, and a strong spiritual will emanated from it, stirring up a sliver of light.

The next moment, the surging purplish-black Glowing Flame in Muneyoshi's mental world subsided, and a spark began to spread in the darkness. In just an instant, the power of light enveloped Muneyoshi's entire mind.

Feeling this power, so different from darkness, Muneyoshi felt wonderful.

He hadn't paid much attention to it after awakening his light yesterday, but when he tried to use it confidently when he got home that night, he almost ran into a big problem.

Before light and darkness are truly tamed, they are in complete conflict. Once light appears, it will domineeringly drive away all Darkness power.

For darkness, light is also heresy, and this heretical power instantly arouses its instinct to extinguish it.

The power of light, newly born, was no match for the extremely powerful Darkness power that Muneyoshi had refined. Just as the light was about to disappear again...

It was the gas he used as a lubricant that enveloped the light and neutralized the darkness, making it possible for the two to coexist.

However, he awakened to the light too late; the darkness had already reached the peak of the first stage, just one step away from stepping into another realm.

Therefore, Muneyoshi's light could never possess the same power as his darkness.

At best, it can only be a vassal of darkness; the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness.

However, Muneyoshi doesn't need to unleash the full power of light to deal with the current situation.

All he needs to do is use light to activate the techniques he initially created, which are now completely outdated.

The combination of light and spiritual power is distinctly different from darkness.

At that moment, flames formed from mental energy rose up, spreading like wildfire across the land. Tezuka's return of the sideline ball through Tezuka Zone was halted by Muneyoshi for a millisecond.

"Yaoyang!"

Bang!

With a loud bang, a dazzling light flashed.

Like a shooting star, a golden streak of light instantly illuminated Tezuka's half of the court.

The tennis ball that Tezuka had been using to Tezuka advantage, about to fly out of Muneyoshi's baseline.

But with even greater speed, more force, and an explosive momentum, it flew back to Tezuka's left baseline.

His feet slid down again, and the Aura Nebula rose up around Tezuka once more, with wisps of air enveloping the incoming tennis ball and heading towards where he stood.

However, this time Tezuka's zone didn't work completely; the tennis ball only moved slightly in Tezuka's direction.

Tezuka immediately realized this and tried to move to catch the ball, but he couldn't move at all. An immense mental pressure held him in place.

That is, less than a second.

The tennis ball broke free from the constraints of Tezuka Zone and slammed heavily onto the baseline.

After leaving a mark at Tezuka's feet, he bumped into the barbed wire behind him.

Bang!

"Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi scores, making the score 15-0."

Tezuka remained motionless, stunned, as the tennis ball rolled to the ground.

He was well aware that Muneyoshi could break his Tezuka Zone, after all, Muneyoshi had already been able to disable it through other means more than a year ago.

However, Muneyoshi's violent method of tearing apart his domain still touched Tezuka's heart.

Looking at Saeki Muneyoshi standing on the baseline for receiving serves, Tezuka knew very well that, in terms of both power and speed, Saeki Muneyoshi was the strongest player he had ever seen.

We can no longer afford to be careless or test the waters!

"Slap... slap... slap!"

Tezuka returned to the service court, standing sideways. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaned his whole body slightly forward, and pressed down on the constantly bouncing mustard-yellow ball with his palm.

Until he found the right rhythm.

Call!

With a slight exhale, Tezuka maintained absolute focus as he tossed the tennis ball upwards.

The muscles in his body, which had been trained without injury, began to tense and exert force, and all the power in his body was displayed at this moment.

Bang!

Fudomine only felt a blur before his eyes, and then heard a crisp sound.

This serve was like a gazelle leaping up its horns; the tennis ball's straight golden light drew a beautiful curve in mid-air.

It landed on the right angle line of Saeki Muneyoshi's hair-receiving area like a cannonball.

This serve was faster and more powerful.

However, such an attack was detrimental to Muneyoshi...

Tap tap tap...

A series of rapid footsteps sounded as Muneyoshi pushed his speed to the limit, and a series of figures appeared behind him.

Seeing Tezuka's full-force serve, Muneyoshi's eyes gleamed with a golden light.

At this stage, the Tezuka Zone is the core of the Tezuka tennis system. Any other means are techniques used to gain points after controlling the rhythm of the game within the Tezuka Zone.

Therefore, as long as Tezuka Zone is restricted, defeating Tezuka is not difficult.

Thinking of this, Muneyoshi's lips curled slightly, and wisps of golden light danced at his fingertips.

Tsk...

He braked suddenly, the momentum causing Muneyoshi's body to twist. He swung his racket to the side, unleashing a surge of powerful mental energy, and golden light flickered in his eyes.

"Solar eclipse!"

Muneyoshi twisted his strong arm muscles, drawing out several sharp lines, and swung them forcefully at the bouncing tennis ball.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the tennis ball flew through the air at a skewed angle.

With the fusion of Muneyoshi's spiritual power and light, the tennis ball continuously spread its eclipse halo outwards, shooting towards Tezuka's half of the court.

"What a terrifying straight-line smash! Can Saeki Muneyoshi break through Tezuka's dominance again with this shot?"

In Tezuka's view, Muneyoshi's shot was incredibly fast; so fast that the tennis ball created an ever-expanding halo as it traveled through the air.

These halos surrounding the tennis ball resembled the halo of an eclipse.

Tezuka tried to use rotational traction, but as the eclipse halo continued to spread, it completely neutralized all the traction force.

Without hesitation, Tezuka took a step forward and ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball.

Tread!

"Tezuka has given up on his field!"

Seeing Tezuka take this crucial step, the members of Fudomine overjoyed.

This proves that Tezuka, under Muneyoshi's attack, directly abandoned his magical domain, or rather, was forced to abandon it by Saeki Muneyoshi.

After relinquishing Tezuka Zone, a radiant light appeared on Tezuka's Tezuka and feet.

His expression remained unchanged; he kept his eyes fixed on the landing point of the tennis ball.

As the light grew brighter, most of it was eventually suppressed in his left hand, while the remainder brought a sharp gust of wind to his body.

Tezuka was almost without delay, instantly catching up with Muneyoshi's counterattack.

Bang!

The racket was enveloped in a rainbow of light as it swept through the air. With only a slight delay, Muneyoshi's Eclipse was instantly enveloped in the rainbow of light.

And it drew a diagonal line at an even faster speed.

"The Pinnacle of a Thousand Forgings!! Ha, you really are something, Tezuka."

Muneyoshi frowned slightly, then burst into motion, quickly heading towards his opposite baseline.

The stamina-consuming nature of the "Selfless" technique is not suitable for Tezuka, except for the Tezuka Zone he developed, which can slow down the depletion of his stamina.

It can also strengthen wrist and leg strength, just like Echizen Ryoma.

Even if Tezuka Zone is closed, he can still retaliate.

"And, is this sense of power doubled?"

Receiving the tennis ball again, feeling a power far greater than his own, Muneyoshi's excitement intensified.

The doubled effect of Tempered a Hundred Times is now beginning to show.

However, Tezuka was already waiting at the net, his Brilliant Talent brain activation shining brightly.

"This point, with just this one goal!"

Tezuka has begun his absolute preview!

"A Brilliant Talent crafted foreshadowing?!"

Swish!

The tennis ball sailed over the net, Tezuka's figure had already come to a stop. Using the momentum of his forward thrust, he gripped his racket with both hands, straightened the Tezuka, and unleashed his Tempered a Hundred Times power once more, delivering a backhand smash.

Bang!

A thicker golden beam streaked across the diagonal baseline opposite to Saeki Muneyoshi's.

The extreme speed and terrifying force generated by doubling the speed of Muneyoshi's return shot left a long ball mark on the ground.

Bang!

It wasn't until the wire mesh was dented from the air that it finally stopped them.

"Seigaku's Tezuka Kunimitsu scores, score 15-15."
