One Ball

Muneyoshi chuckled softly, took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared at the baseline.

When it reappeared, the racket had already wrapped around the tennis ball that had just bounced up.

Before the second acceleration of the Illusory Colors serve could even erupt, it was directly countered by Muneyoshi.

Tap tap tap...

Tokugawa knew that this shot would have limited effect on Muneyoshi, so after seeing Muneyoshi's hitting point, his slender figure rushed straight forward.

His short, icy blue hair swept across his eyes, which were now filled with fighting spirit.

In an instant, he arrived at the point where the tennis ball would land, his right hand moving forward in a loose grip, unleashing a burst of dazzling golden light.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tokugawa executed a backhand lift, sending his signature Shining Shot directly towards Muneyoshi, the surging airflow producing bursts of sonic booms.

The air itself emitted a piercing cutting sound.

"Shining Shot!"

Seeing Tokugawa make his move, the darkness emanating from Muneyoshi intensified.

With another light step, he used Moonwalk, leaving only an afterimage in place. As the afterimage disappeared, he reappeared on the trajectory of the Shining Shot.

"Falling Bright!"

Muneyoshi's gaze sharpened slightly, and a purplish-black light appeared in his upturned eyes.

The Darkness Light surged, and the light that fell into Muneyoshi's half of the arena was directly swallowed by the darkness.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual force swept across the field, and in an instant, a black wall of energy swept towards Tokugawa with overwhelming force.

In an instant, darkness enveloped Tokugawa. At the edge of his vision, darkness surged in like a tidal wave, causing the light in his sight to gradually fade.

Moreover, the black curtain is drawing ever closer.

Feeling the terrifying mental pressure that seemed to freeze his blood, Tokugawa's teeth chattered.

"Tokugawa was too impatient to defeat Byōdōin!"

Oni Jūjirō shook his head. Although Tokugawa had mastered the Shining Shot and the Black Hole, and had even begun to incorporate the path of Asura Path.

However, there is still a considerable distance between Muneyoshi and the person he is at this moment.

To put it more clearly, Tokugawa at this moment is like Muneyoshi in his first year of university, but he hasn't yet reached the peak of Muneyoshi's first year.

In this way, Muneyoshi has almost pushed all aspects to the top level of the first stage.

However, Tokugawa did not hear their sentiments.

Muneyoshi's soul-crushing attack of terror instantly brought back painful memories for Tokugawa.

This time, however, he barely managed to gain the strength to resist it.

"I won't run away anymore! Muneyoshi, bring it on!"

An astonishing aura erupted from Tokugawa, and the dark world that Muneyoshi had constructed for him collapsed instantly.

Tokugawa's right hand moved forward again, but this time it wasn't a mere grasp; he swung it forward.

"Black Hole!"

With a swing of his racket, Tokugawa created a small, black, starry-sky-like area that blocked Muneyoshi's falling flame, seemingly imprisoning the tennis ball in mid-air.

Bang!

As Muneyoshi returned the tennis ball while the Black Hole was frozen in place, Tokugawa swept his racket across the mustard-yellow ball, and a ray of light shone brightly in Muneyoshi's forecourt.

"Is this the move you've mastered? It looks pretty good!"

"Then let's try this move again, the Chaotic Flower Burial!"

Muneyoshi took a step forward, and his figure disappeared again, along with the racket in his hand, as Darkness Light surged towards his hand.

When Muneyoshi appeared behind the tennis ball, the racket in his hand transformed into a jet-black katana.

Muneyoshi's gaze turned cold, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

With a swing of his arm, as if drawing a sword to strike, the katana slashed fiercely across the surface of the tennis ball.

Sizzle!

Call out!

The darkness of the entire stadium seemed to converge on the sharpness of the blade; in Tokugawa's view, the stadium space was torn open with a thin line.

The tennis ball flew backward and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the blades that slashed through the space before them!

This darkness was cold and pure.

Tokugawa knew this attack very well; it was a move that Muneyoshi had used on him when he was still in Spain.

He was also very aware of the power of this move.

Without any hesitation.

"Black Hole!"

Seeing the approaching blade, Tokugawa decisively swung his racket twice more, creating two Black Hole in front of him.

The mysterious and deep space was filled with the deathly silence of a starry river. The chilling black blade was once again swallowed by the Black Hole, and the hidden tennis ball was revealed again.

Bang!

Tokugawa seized the opportunity and smashed the tennis ball back again.

Seeing Tokugawa's unwavering determination, a ripple appeared in Muneyoshi's dark eyes, and a wisp of golden flame began to burn.

At this time, Tokugawa's Black Hole, in terms of both size and speed of appearance, was not as large as it would be a year later.

He now had a clear understanding of Tokugawa's strength.

Now that his strength has reached a certain level, there's no need to worry about damaging him!

As this thought arose, the black aura enveloping the stadium expanded once more, and countless emotions surged toward Tokugawa.

This stirred a ripple in Tokugawa's heart, but he quickly suppressed it with his unwavering will.

"Please don't get hurt, Tokugawa- senpai!"

Muneyoshi's voice rang out, and at the same time, the dark field suddenly contracted, and at the same time, a dazzling golden light emanated from Muneyoshi's left hand.

"What is this?!"

"That move that Light-Dark Fusion!"

Tanegashima, Irie, and Oni's expressions turned somewhat serious.

They hadn't expected that Muneyoshi would use this move so directly after only a slight probing.

Meanwhile, Tokugawa, standing on the opposite side of the field, had an even worse feeling.

The dark world he had just escaped enveloped him once more, but Tokugawa was not alarmed.

Because he could sense that although Muneyoshi's dark field had improved, it couldn't completely restrict him.

He can break free from these constraints if he wants to.

However, as this thought arose in his mind, in the otherwise absolute darkness, the blurry image of Muneyoshi flickered in the pupils of his eyes.

An extremely dangerous feeling instantly stimulated Tokugawa's mind, and a faint aura of Asura Path enveloped Tokugawa entire body.

The next moment, the black light faded from his perception.

However, when he looked up at Muneyoshi again, his entire pupils were filled with a dazzling golden light.

Swish!

Muneyoshi slid his right foot back, twisted his body slightly, and raised his left hand to his chest in a loose grasp.

A dazzling golden light, carrying a terrifying aura, emanated from his loosely clenched palm, filled with Muneyoshi's own terrifying will.

Under Muneyoshi's constant compression, the golden sphere's aura grew increasingly dangerous, continuously emitting electric light.

However, this aura did not get out of control. Instead, under Muneyoshi's mental suppression, the constantly emitted lightning quieted down.

In Tokugawa's view, the golden light now seemed to have turned into candlelight.

At the same time, every ray of Darkness Light that had been hovering around Muneyoshi's body was transformed into a burning Light Ball under Muneyoshi's control.

In the dark world, the candlelight illuminated Muneyoshi's vision and the path beneath his feet.

With Muneyoshi's swing, he precisely caught the Shining Shot, while all the dark Light Ball seemed to be bombarded by an even larger black giant racket.

Across the court, the ground beneath Tokugawa's feet began to tremble slightly; the terrifying power sent chills down his spine.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A sudden gust of wind swept across the field, causing Tokugawa's clothes to flutter wildly.
