The Extinguished Selflessness and the Rotation That No Longer Worked

"What's this!!"

"Was that Saeki Muneyoshi's tennis ball just now?"

"That guy!!!"

"Muneyoshi..."

"Minister!"

The two consecutive days of matches from yesterday to today have allowed everyone to witness Saeki Muneyoshi's strength.

Unlike the explosive destructive power he displayed in the final moments of yesterday's match against Yukimura Seiichi.

In today's match, Saeki Muneyoshi used a method that was more difficult for ordinary people to understand to deal with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

In that brief moment of darkness, they were only startled, saw a flash of darkness, and then it was all over?

"Such a fast serve..." Ibu Shinji's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

"Such a level... above all in the nation... this is truly above all in the nation!"

The purplish-black spots in Tezuka's pupils were increasing, but a hint of excitement rose on his cold face, though it was quickly Tezuka.

Ultimately, it turned into seriousness.

Tezuka arrives at the service area.

Swish!

The tennis ball soared through the air, and colorful light shimmered once more, revealing the crisscrossing muscle lines on Tezuka Kunimitsu's arm.

Bang!

It was just a fleeting moment.

The tennis ball seemed unaffected by any resistance, transforming into a streak of white light that instantly pierced through the net and landed squarely on the angle where Muneyoshi was receiving the serve.

Most people only saw a flash of white light, and then the tennis ball disappeared from sight.

By the time Momoshiro and Oishi reacted, Muneyoshi had already caught up and arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball.

Bang!

Fudomine lifted his black coat, and the dramatic expansion revealed the lines of Muneyoshi's abdominal muscles.

Upon reaching the landing point of the tennis ball, Muneyoshi slipped, pushed with his right hand, and calmly swung his forehand, sending the tennis ball flying in a wide, dynamic arc.

The target is the angle where the two sides of the court meet, which is Tezuka's half of the court.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless—simple tennis shots that showcased Muneyoshi's superior fundamental skills. It was precisely in these impenetrable returns that his spirit was revealed.

The tennis ball bounced high into the air, and if you looked closely, you could see that there was no spin on it at all.

Only absolute power and speed, along with precise ball control, can deflect the tennis ball off the court.

Tap tap tap!

A blue and white figure moved like lightning, quickly catching up with the tennis ball. The team uniform clung to the body, fluttering in the wind.

Tread!

Tezuka lunged forward, his left-hand racket, enveloped in multicolored light, slashed through the air and intercepted the bouncing tennis ball.

And it spun fiercely against it, the intense spin once again clinging to the tennis ball.

"Ha, Tezuka, you still haven't given up on spin! Too bad for some tennis balls, even if I don't eliminate the spin, can you return it?"

Muneyoshi's lips curled into a smile as he watched Tezuka relentlessly continue hitting his special spin shot, and a thought struck him.

"Dark!"

As soon as Muneyoshi finished speaking, the darkness that had been gathered within him seemed to have received permission.

The next moment, his entire body was enveloped in a faint black mist shimmering with purple light.

The dark, eerie light seemed to open a portal beneath Muneyoshi's feet, spreading outwards from Muneyoshi towards his half of the field.

Soon the black mist covered the playing area where Muneyoshi was standing, and then it began to encroach on Tezuka's half of the court.

When the Darkness Field spread to Tezuka's half of the court, he only felt a lot of chaotic sounds around him.

Such sounds made him irritable, and even the speed and power of his tennis balls aimed at Muneyoshi began to decrease.

"Glory..."

Muneyoshi's sudden change shocked many people.

On the sidelines, Tachibana Kippei's mouth agape in surprise. "Is this Cloudbreak? No, it shouldn't be. There's no aura of 'selflessness' about it."

Meanwhile, Atobe, standing in the stands, used his keen mental power to instantly sense the aura contained within Muneyoshi's field.

Meanwhile, Tezuka, who had always dreamed of unlocking the Cloudbreak Tezuka, was also captivated by Muneyoshi's surging Dark Radiance.

It was only for a brief moment, but it was enough for the tennis ball to slip away from his feet.

Tezuka was not paying attention to the tennis ball at the moment, but staring intently at the light emanating from Muneyoshi.

With just a slight perception, Tezuka knew perfectly well that this was something completely different from the State of Selflessness.

However, the effect was far more powerful than his current State of Selflessness.

Noticing this, Tezuka's eyes burned with intensity.

He realized that Muneyoshi's move bore a striking resemblance to the legendary "Cloudbreak".

Moreover, the powerful suppressive force of the Dark Radiance forcefully pinned it to its spot.

"What an amazing aura!"

Tezuka's gaze sharpened. Enveloped in a Dark Radiance, he felt as if he were being suppressed by a vast, surging wave, unable to move.

Ugh!

Multicolored light rose simultaneously from his body and mind, and with the blessing of the two Gates of Selflessness, the oppressive force Tezuka felt on his body lessened.

Bang!

Tezuka again, and the tennis ball, carrying an incredibly powerful topspin, slammed into the outer corner of the receiving area.

The light enveloping the tennis ball shone even brighter, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

However, before it had even flown halfway across the field, the radiance belonging to the selfless was directly swallowed by the darkness.

Muneyoshi took a big step forward, lightly touched the ground with his left foot, and with a very elegant turn, he returned Tezuka's serve while his back was Tezuka.

Tezuka was not intimidated by this psychological attack. He immediately adjusted his center of gravity and lunged towards the direction from which the tennis ball came.

He had no intention of staying put; he knew that Muneyoshi wouldn't give him any chance to turn around.

However, Muneyoshi's returns were becoming increasingly powerful and fast, and he was finding it more and more difficult to keep up.

Moreover, being in this place shrouded in black light, Tezuka could clearly feel his strength slowly weakening.

The tennis ball had just crossed the net when Muneyoshi's figure was already leaping into the air in front of the net.

Without any hesitation, Muneyoshi aimed directly at the baseline corner on Tezuka's other side and slammed the tennis ball down hard, a faint black light enveloping it as it hurtled away.

"At that speed, Captain Tezuka can handle it!"

Momoshiro watched as Tezuka arrived at the expected landing spot without any hesitation and shouted excitedly.

Bang!

Tezuka bent his knees and leaned back, flicking his racket from beside his feet.

"That's a beautiful Lob! That spin... it's the Zero Style Lob, isn't it, Tezuka!"

Muneyoshi's voice came from above once again.

Tezuka looked up and saw that Muneyoshi had already switched the racket to his left hand in mid-air, with a faint, eerie flame flickering on it.

"Oh no!"

Tezuka's heart sank; he felt his weakness worsening.

Thump!

"Game, Saeki Muneyoshi,2:1."

A flash of light exploded at Tezuka's baseline, and Muneyoshi broke Tezuka.

The teams switched sides, and the game continued.

Bang!

Bang!

Another beam of eerie light tore through Tezuka's defenses, carrying Dark Radiance that rushed straight at Tezuka, engulfing him in darkness.

Standing in the darkness, Tezuka's selfless radiance, like a candle flickering in the wind, was extinguished by Muneyoshi.

With ease, Muneyoshi won his serve again.

"Game, Saeki Muneyoshi,3:1."

Under Muneyoshi's control Darkness power continuously eroded Tezuka, making him weaker and weaker.

Their movement speed slowed down, and their mental strength waned.

Muneyoshi's figure grew larger and larger in his pupils, almost filling the entire field of vision of everyone.

"How could this be! Captain Tezuka was actually suppressed by his opponent?!"

Momoshiro couldn't believe it; in his mind, Tezuka was like a god.

How could such a powerful Tezuka be suppressed by his opponent?

Looking at Tezuka's trembling hands and leg muscles, Muneyoshi's lips curled into a cold smile as he said:

"Tezuka, besides this malfunctioning rotation and the vanished selflessness, what else do you have?"

Without these two things, can you still play tennis?

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets! The seven-day intensive update period for National Day is over. To be honest, it was a bit tough. I'm exhausted and even caught a cold."

The seven-day National Day holiday update blitz is over. To be honest, it was a bit tough. I was exhausted and caught a cold. My whole body aches. When I got home, I didn't want to write at all; I just wanted to lie down and sleep. I'll take a break for the next few days. I have no more drafts left. At most, I can add one more chapter to reach 300 monthly votes in October. I'll write the rest when I recover my energy. It was too tough.

I'll try my best not to take time off and maintain the minimum update requirement. I didn't even go to the office today; I didn't want to get up.
