Destruction
The referee's voice faded, and the vast stadium fell silent. ✿.。.:* ☆::..::.☆*.:。.✿
How could their France captain have been outmaneuvered by this middle school student from the Japan Team?
Although Saeki Muneyoshi was also a captain, his ability to possess such skill at such a young age was still hard for many to believe.
Many people whispered among themselves, and some even called out Muneyoshi's current nickname!
Meanwhile, the Japan Team finally breathed a sigh of relief; the tense confrontation had kept them on edge the whole time.
"Good!"
"Well done, Muneyoshi!"
"Good job, lad!"
Even Byōdōin uttered words of praise for Muneyoshi, then looked at Muneyoshi, who was sitting on a chair panting, and said:
"Kid, are you confident you can take it down in one go?"
"Oh!"
Pulling the towel off his face, Muneyoshi smiled happily, "Byōdōin -senpai, Camus is very strong!"
"Are you confident?"
"Confidence? Of course!"
After a short break, the second set of the match began.
The two returned to the net, Camus's smile widened even more.
"Saeki Muneyoshi's shot just now was very good. It wasn't just about light and darkness, but also the materialization of your mental energy, which you demonstrated most clearly, and other things that hadn't appeared before?"
"Is that your path to tennis? I see it!"
"Your combination of strength, speed, and technique with your mental power is truly perfect..."
Camus's gentle eyes gleamed with admiration; his heart was also unsettled. 💙☹ ☯🐺
In fact, it wasn't just what he said; he also heard a much larger ambition in his Saeki Muneyoshi's voice.
Does a strong will indicate the possibility of reaching a deeper level?
The dimensions of strength, speed, and technique represent the fundamental physical abilities that underpin everything.
Saeki Muneyoshi's speed and power techniques are already impressive, but his mental strength and willpower are off the charts, and his path is already beginning to merge.
With this in mind, Camus's heart was naturally no longer at peace.
"My revolutionary method, my unwavering love for tennis, will never lose to any other path!"
As Camus walked to the baseline for the serve, he gave Saeki Muneyoshi a deep look and then murmured to himself.
Bang!
Bang!
The second match began, and Camus made no attempt to conceal his true feelings from the outset; the infectious power of his passionate radiance was even stronger.
Camus, completely unleashing his full potential, cleanly and decisively broke through Saeki Muneyoshi's serve.
Da da da da
The two players' figures constantly crisscrossed the court, and the tennis balls continued to bombard every corner of the clay court.
Camus stood with his feet straddling, his magnificent curly blond hair slipping down his shoulders, the pink glow now completely turning into a deep pink, making most of the stadium resemble a sea of pink flowers.
The two Different Dimension Realm collided once again, with Camus using his flawless radiance to continuously compress Muneyoshi's path and range of activity.
Bang!
Another short drive, pink petals spreading towards Muneyoshi's half of the court, then bursting open with a snap. ♢💚 Claw 🏆😳
Dazzling blossoms, Camus scores again.
In the Japan rest area, Byōdōin nodded.
As expected, through this period of travel, Muneyoshi has been steadily narrowing the gap with Camus in terms of competition experience.
Although subtle differences still exist, this is largely due to Camus having more opportunities to fight against stronger opponents.
This is why Camus was able to immediately find Saeki Muneyoshi's weakness after the first match and then use it as a breakthrough point for him to score continuously.
Bang!
"France Team scores, 30-0."
Bang!
"Game, France team, score 3:1."
Seemingly having figured out Muneyoshi's playing style, Camus broke Muneyoshi's serve again without much effort when it was Muneyoshi's turn to serve.
"ACE! France Team, 15-0."
Bang!
"France Team scores, 40-15."
Bang!
Another act of kindness exploded in Muneyoshi's footsteps.
"Game, France Team, 4-1."
"Both sides change sides!"
Even during the scene transitions, the surrounding pink glow did not completely dissipate, but rather moved with Camus's movements.
"This Radiance of Beloved, this relentless spiritual erosion, is like a persistent leech, impossible to resist unless you confront it head-on. It's truly persistent."
Seeing that he had lost another point, Saeki Muneyoshi spat in dissatisfaction.
Even if he shatters that brilliance into countless pieces using his own methods, he can return in the blink of an eye.
Then he frowned, focusing intently on sensing the Radiance of Beloved that was surrounding and permeating him from all directions.
"We need to destroy his turtle shell so he can't use his abilities for now!"
Just as Muneyoshi was pondering, the sound of the ball being struck rang out again.
Bang!
"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try!"
Saeki Muneyoshi's gaze sharpened, his foot slipped, the silver moon vanished, and the black shadow spread once more.
His physique, honed over many years, has kept him in top condition, and he can now be said to be no less than a true professional player.
"Um?"
In the space where their minds were intertwined, Muneyoshi's completely subdued aura caught Camus's attention.
"Trying to fight to the death? Too bad it's no use..."
"My beloved has heard me; she is calling me!"
Camus murmured tenderly, and after sensing Muneyoshi's thoughts, the pink light continued to shrink, and a rain of bright red roses poured down from the sky.
"Yeah?"
Muneyoshi chuckled softly, held his breath, and stomped his foot backward. The figure behind him made the same movement.
The racket rises, the blade points to the moon.
Darkness descends, moonlight spills forth.
Within this Different Dimension realm, the rolling moonlight poured down.
"Saeki Muneyoshi" grew to a gigantic size, and the katana in his hand merged into his body and disappeared. A shadow resembling a lunar eclipse appeared behind his head.
Moonlight intertwines with light and darkness.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the ball hitting the shuttlecock rang out, and the deadly danger made the surrounding spectators gasp for breath.
A milky-white flame tinged with red suddenly shone on Saeki Muneyoshi's racket, then spread throughout the entire court.
Upon seeing this, Camus's body did not stop; instead, it started moving in sync with the sound of the ball being struck.
Rustling~
The shockwave from his body caused Camus's jacket to stiffen. Camus pushed off with one foot, took a light step, and almost at the perfect moment, swung his racket towards an empty space.
However, this time Camus's pink glow didn't seem to have much effect; the rose petals that were falling were pierced and destroyed by the flames.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Camus's racket held the tennis ball firmly upside down.
The tennis ball had just landed in the net when a terrifying shockwave tore at the racket in his hand.
Camus was not surprised by this; such force was not enough to make him let go. With his experienced wrist, he flicked his wrist slightly, trying to use his Sweet Spot Technique to continuously disperse the shockwave.
However, Camus did not anticipate that as the crimson flame disappeared, another force would erupt, causing the almost vanished flame to expand again.
This is the power of Qi.
Thump!
Like a heavy weight falling again, the force that had been able to hold on was instantly shattered.
Creak!
He held out for only two seconds before the tennis ball pierced through his racket and slammed heavily against the wall behind Camus.
It smashed a hole the size of a washbasin into the wall.
Such power and noise startled the people in the audience behind them, causing them to shrink back.
As expected, Qinghui's radiant flames directly destroyed everything blocking the path ahead.
