Crazy Clash

That was incredibly fast!

From the sidelines, Ohtori Choutarou exclaimed in surprise. Tachibana Kippei's shot was much faster than his own "One Goal, One Soul." -(••÷[ ]÷••)-

"Atobe, you have to hold on!"

Although he was still confident in Atobe's strength and believed that Atobe would definitely win, Shishido Ryo couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw Tachibana Kippei's strength at this moment.

"Hahaha, that's it! Freeze it for me!"

Atobe had seen this move by Tachibana Kippei far too many times. From its initial form to its complete systematization, they had basically witnessed the entire process.

So Atobe instantly judged the landing point of the tennis ball, his eyes instantly became bright and clear, and a chilling aura instantly spread throughout the entire court.

However, being familiar with the Atobe can hold back his full strength.

Atobe mobilized a surge of spiritual energy.

In the dark mental world, one icicle after another appeared beside Tachibana Kippei.

That was not only where Atobe discovered Tachibana Kippei's weakness, but also how he used it to limit Tachibana Kippei's moves.

"That move again, immobilizing me? The Ice World is incredibly troublesome!"

Atobe's retort was perfectly clear to Tachibana Kippei.

But when he tried to take a step, he realized he couldn't move at all.

The chill that spread from the ground to his feet froze his feet like a leech, and then froze his body's reflexes, suppressing their initial reactions.

Click!

Bang!

The flying tennis ball pierced through the icicle, shattering it and sending ice shards flying. In that instant Tachibana Kippei regained control of his body.

"Atobe Keigo scores, 15:0."

This is the Mental Power Path has over the Mental Power Path, and the restraint that the weaker spiritual power has over those who are relatively weaker.

If the psychological influence cannot be eliminated, then victory will automatically tilt to one side.

"Could it be that even Atobe's Ice World can't withstand Tachibana-senpai's current strength?"

Ishida watched the scene with a grave expression, his vigilance towards the Mental Power Path rising once more. 🍟♣ ♝☮

"Although Atobe's Ice World is formidable, the vice-captain has been at it for so long, he must have a countermeasure!"

Ibu Shinji also followed the Mental Power Path, felt it more deeply. He had just felt Atobe's overwhelming chill again, but he also had great confidence in Tachibana Kippei's strength.

Moreover, there was no sign of worry on Tachibana Kippei's serious face.

"Ice World!"

Ryoma, watching from the sidelines, also shifted his gaze from Tachibana Kippei to Atobe.

Although he hadn't experienced the opponent's specific move, he had personally experienced the basic version of weakness detection.

That feeling isn't pleasant.

On the opposite side of the court, Tachibana Kippei, seemingly unaffected, served the ball again.

"Freeze it for me again!"

Atobe laughter as he faced Tachibana Kippei's serve.

In the Ice World, Tachibana Kippei's weaknesses are laid bare.

One after another, icicles fell from the sky, freezing Tachibana Kippei's movement.

Click!

The tennis ball flew out from an unknown part of the dark space, smashing straight into the ice pillar, sending glittering ice shards flying in all directions.

"Almost there!"

Tachibana Kippei frowned slightly, then relaxed his brow. He could feel his suppressed aura roaring in resentment.

The fluctuations in resistance are growing.

Bang!

"Freeze it!"

"Atobe Keigo scores, score 40:0."

Bang!

"Tachibana Kippei, this game is over! Freeze it!"

"Game, this round is won by Atobe Keigo of the Hyotei Academy, score 2:1."

"Both sides change sides!"

With Atobe's Ice World taking the lead, he easily broke through Tachibana Kippei's serve.

Just as Atobe predicted, the scales of victory are beginning to tip in his favor. 👻💥 🐼🐠

"Still a little short...?"

Hanamura Aoi didn't disturb Tachibana Kippei, who was sitting next to her, as he pondered.

Hyotei Academy had encountered Fudomine once last year, but she was already familiar with Atobe's signature move, Ice World.

Although Saeki Muneyoshi solved the puzzle easily at the time, Hanamura Aoi knew that Muneyoshi's strength could not be used to judge the strength of an opponent.

Now that Tachibana Kippei has encountered this opponent, the power of this move has finally been revealed.

"Tachibana, that strange fluctuation from Atobe was mental energy, wasn't it? It suppressed your instantaneous reaction. Actually, you can try to suppress your own nervous reactions and let the Lion King's instincts take over!"

After a moment's thought, Hanamura Aoi immediately had a guess in her mind.

She remembered that Muneyoshi had once said during their conversation that the most important thing to perfectly reach the realm above all others was to master the use of spiritual power.

Although she doesn't know exactly what level a world-class player is, based on what she's seen so far...

At least among world-class athletes, each person has a different level of mental prowess.

However, Tachibana Kippei lacked a bit of dynamism in this aspect, which is why Hanamura Aoi took the initiative to point it out.

"I understand, Coach Hanamura!"

Having already sparred with Atobe several times in the training camp, Tachibana Kippei had long suspected why he was unable to move.

Hanamura Aoi's suggestion served as a wake-up call for him. Since he couldn't even conceal his weaknesses, why not abandon the idea of hiding them and expand the power of his attacks in all aspects?

What he needs to do is not to completely crack the Ice World like Saeki Muneyoshi, but simply to be able to react and retaliate even if he is attacked and his weaknesses are exposed.

After all, among middle school students today, apart from Tezuka Zone's unique technique of the Ice World, only Saeki Muneyoshi has truly broken through Atobe's Ice World head-on, relying entirely on his own five dimensions to overwhelm Atobe.

Having figured this out, Tachibana Kippei no longer hesitated.

The three-minute break passed quickly, and Atobe and Tachibana Kippei stepped back onto the court.

"Ha! So you've figured out a way to fight me? Or are you just really that eager to fight?"

Atobe's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration, even though he knew that breaking his own hand wouldn't have any impact on Tachibana Kippei.

However, Atobe had not anticipated that Tachibana Kippei would maintain such a high level of fighting spirit.

Since that's the case!

Atobe's gaze sharpened.

"Then let me, this great one, use my magnificent skills to give you a final bow!"

Swish!

The tennis ball was thrown by Atobe body instantly bent his knees and arched backward, his powerful core strength supporting him as Atobe arched his waist and abdomen into a shape like an iron bridge.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The icy blue light in Atobe's pupils dissipated, and now they shimmered with multicolored light, a violent current of energy surging around him.

"Drink!"

With his body fully extended and ready, Atobe swung his racket and slammed it heavily onto the tennis ball.

Theirs Serve!

This move is even more powerful than the original.

This is a move that belongs to Atobe himself, a perfect combination of power and rotation.

The tennis ball flew easily over the net, and after landing, it was pressed tightly against the ground by the intense spin, and then it started to dart off the court.

The moment Atobe made his move, it ignited the passion of the entire arena. The members of the Hyotei Academy cheered loudly, believing that Atobe's shot was a sure thing.

"Hyotei Academy! Hyotei Academy! Hyotei Academy has won!"

However, just as Atobe's ball landed, a black shadow appeared before the landing point.

The Beast Type Four – the Mighty Lion Dash!

Scarlet's aura suddenly changed, and a majestic lion, with a tennis ball in its mouth, leaped up and charged towards Atobe.

"Great! Tachibana Kippei, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Seeing that his move had been broken, Atobe was not surprised and quickly turned around and ran in the other direction.

Atobe was very confident in his leg strength.

The competition seems to have returned to its original state.

However, these moves, which were already familiar to both sides, were a pleasant surprise to Echizen Ryoma in the stands.

"What kind of serve is this?! How could the vice-captain of Fudomine return a serve like that?"

Echizen Ryoma's eyes widened.

He was truly amazed today, even though Atobe's serve couldn't compare to his captain's Zero Style Serve.

However, this type of serve, which doesn't bounce, would undoubtedly be difficult for him to return.

Just as Ryoma was confused and shocked, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"This is one of Atobe's signature moves, the Theirs Serve. Simply put, it uses strong force and complex spin to forcefully suppress the bounce of the tennis ball, which is different from the principle of Tezuka's Zero Shiki."

At some point, Seigaku's intelligence gatherer, Inui Sadaharu, appeared beside Ryoma. He opened his notebook, recorded the data, and explained it to Ryoma in a casual tone.

"But Tachibana Kippei used the Beast Aura he developed himself, only this aura seemed even more terrifying."

"Theirs Serve! Beast Aura! I never expected these guys to have such a move!"

Inui Sadaharu no longer paid attention to Echizen Ryoma, but instead carefully watched every movement of the two players on the field.

"Atobe, I'm about to launch my attack!"

Having cracked Atobe's serve, Tachibana Kippei began to take control of the game. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the net, leaped up under everyone's gaze, and leaned forward.

Bang!

"Beast Aura —condense! Mighty Lion Chokehold!"

Tachibana Kippei's silver-black racket left an indistinct afterimage in mid-air.

With a resounding swing that sounded like an explosion, the Beast Aura that had been suppressed within Tachibana Kippei was released.

In an instant, two tennis balls, imbued with a black and red aura, hurtled towards Atobe.

The aura transformed into two enormous male lions, their jaws snapping open as they lunged at Atobe.

With a loud bang, a cloud of dust rose from Atobe's half of the field.
