The Collapsed Kingdom, the Unconscious Atobe

At the baseline, Atobe took a deep breath and served again. 🐸👊 ♞💲

The immense pressure from Muneyoshi meant that he had to give it his all with every serve.

Bang!

However, while these evolved serves are powerful, they place an excessive strain on the body.

Even Atobe today couldn't possibly play tennis like that for the entire match.

Therefore, he can only use it during crucial moments in the game.

Of course, his constantly improving physique and technique allow him to produce amazing results even when using simple Topspin.

So much so that many ordinary viewers exclaimed in surprise:

"As expected of Atobe! His strength and speed are actually increasing as the match progresses!"

However, only the two players on the field know the specifics of the situation.

Facing Atobe's serve, Muneyoshi turned around, lowered his racket head slightly, and then swept the ball horizontally.

Bang!

The near-straight trajectory is remarkably fast, and even Atobe with exceptional eyesight who anticipates the ball's landing must quicken their pace.

Bang!

After catching up and returning the ball, Atobe rested his left hand lightly on his nose, a chilling aura emanating from him as Atobe magnified his vision to the extreme.

"Open up, Atobe Kingdom! Muneyoshi, you have nowhere to hide!"

In Atobe's eyes, every bone and joint of Muneyoshi's body was clearly visible.

"Hmph! Atobe, spying on others is not a good habit!"

Across the court, Muneyoshi noticed the change in Atobe's mental energy and a slight smile appeared on his lips. As he spoke with a mocking tone, his own unique domain descended once more.

Darkness Domain!

"What!"

Atobe's heart sank, because in that brief moment, everything went black again, and he could see nothing.

Bang!

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

The referee's voice rang out, and Atobe's vision returned to normal.

Atobe turned his head and saw the small, mustard-yellow ball lying quietly behind him.

"Did he just use that same ability again? I, the great one, had absolutely no chance to resist! Domain... Domain..."

Atobe's face instantly turned ugly. He had been concentrating very carefully, but he didn't know when he had been hit.

"I've seen your Atobe Kingdom, and while it's impressive, I doubt you can maintain that level of performance for the entire match. If you can't, you won't be able to stop me, Atobe!"

Muneyoshi raised his right hand, his racket pointing directly at Atobe, and laughed, "Since I can't stop you, there's no need for the match to continue. I'm ending this!"

"Oh! Is that so!"

Although Atobe, he remained outwardly calm, and the atmosphere grew even more tense as he held his breath.

"Don't be too confident! Even if you were Saeki Muneyoshi, in a fierce match, your hidden weaknesses would be exposed, just like in the second game."

As he stepped toward the left service baseline, Atobe said calmly.

"Ha! Atobe, I know this is the opportunity you've been waiting for, and you're welcome to give it a try, but the time will be very short..."

Hearing this, Muneyoshi chuckled. Atobe was certainly right.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do all of that at the moment.

At the baseline, Atobe once again drew back his racket to serve, but this time he was much more cautious, having learned from his previous experience.

However, as his gaze swept over Muneyoshi, trying to find an absolute blind spot in him, Muneyoshi's cold voice rang in his ears again.

"Darkness descends, the kingdom crumbles!"

Muneyoshi's own Darkness Domain suddenly appeared on the court. This time, the domain was not suppressed by Muneyoshi and began to spread wildly.

Suddenly darkness descended again, and Atobe's movements faltered. His previously powerful swing suddenly became vulnerable, and a crisp sound rang out at his feet, creating gusts of wind.

In an instant, the entire stadium seemed to become a dark realm, and the snowy world and ice kingdom that Atobe had originally created began to dim under Muneyoshi's engulfment.

It eventually collapsed completely.

Muneyoshi's domain has grown increasingly larger.

In a daze, Atobe saw it.

The silver moon hangs high, and the stars are faintly visible.

Darkness gradually became the camouflage for everything, concealing the crisis and hiding the murderous intent.

A figure shimmering with black and gold stood at the baseline for receiving serves.

It was Saeki Muneyoshi

Behind him, a phantom silver-white figure floated silently, its body surrounded by interwoven tri-colored light.

Click!

"Game, Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi, 5:1."

"Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi, 30:0."

The referee's voice rang out again, Atobe's vision returned.

"What is this! Is this what Muneyoshi showed during his match against Echizen Ryoga? But it seems a little different..."

Atobe frowned, still lost in his illusory dream, oblivious to the huge difference in the score.

Until.

"No, that's not right. I shouldn't be focusing on that. I'm still in the game!"

Atobe suddenly awoke to find that his Ice World, the Atobe Kingdom, had vanished completely, and even his idea of competing was fading away!

"You've finally woken up! Too bad your kingdom has already crumbled, Atobe!"

Muneyoshi smiled slightly.

"Wh... what!"

Atobe's heart sank, and a sudden chill from the depths of his soul enveloped him.

"I told you, your current kingdom alone cannot stop me, and your attempt will only last a short time!"

Although Muneyoshi was still smiling, Atobe found him to look particularly terrifying at that moment.

"Really? I don't believe it. I will definitely defeat you, Muneyoshi!"

Although he sensed something was wrong, Atobe's proud pride wouldn't allow him to lose in this verbal argument.

"Don't believe me? Then you can immerse yourself in the hell I'm about to offer you, where you'll lose everything!"

Muneyoshi sneered, then walked to the baseline to receive the ball.

"Is this a realm, or a dream?"

Atobe, standing on the service line, felt a chill. At this moment, he seemed unable to use many of his own moves. These moves hadn't disappeared, but it was as if they were being blocked by something.

This made it extremely difficult for Atobe to execute his plan.

"How could such a thing be possible! I absolutely refuse to believe it. I, this great man, will never believe in losing everything!"

Atobe roared, and his remaining spiritual power suddenly condensed at that moment. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and then raised his hand to slam down heavily.

Bang!

Atobe, bursting with energy, seemed to have found a way to break through the obstruction. Amidst the swirling snow, Atobe's serve was instantly swallowed up by the blizzard.

"What a tenacious struggle!"

A glint flashed in Muneyoshi's eyes as he charged forward into the wind and snow, his racket sweeping out horizontally.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared amidst the swirling snow.

Bang!

The wind and snow were swallowed up by the darkness, and a black wave surged back.

"Aaaaaah, the Atobe Kingdom!!!"

Atobe's pride drove him to unleash the Atobe Kingdom once more, his all-seeing gaze, accompanied by his spiritual power, once again enveloping Muneyoshi's Atobe.

I've found your weakness!

However, just as Atobe was preparing to retaliate by targeting Muneyoshi's blind spot, boundless darkness descended once more.

Bang!

"Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi, 40:0."

"Fudomine's match point!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium, Atobe was plunged into darkness once again.

"Give up, Atobe, you're finished!"

Muneyoshi's words pierced Atobe's heart like a knife.

"You want me to give up? You're dreaming!"

Atobe adjusted his mindset and then threw the tennis ball in his hand again.

This time, the snowstorm became even more violent, and Muneyoshi felt as if the snow was about to bury the ground beneath his feet.

"Huh? It can evolve?!"

"The Ice Emperor!"

Bang!

A fierce blizzard suddenly appeared before Muneyoshi's eyes, and even the corners of Muneyoshi eyes and between his brows seemed to be covered in ice crystals.

"Okay, okay!"

Amidst the swirling snow, Muneyoshi shouted "Good!" three times in succession, before darkness descended once more.

However, this time Atobe managed to preserve the last vestige of his inner peace and did not completely succumb to depravity.

"Atobe, as a sign of respect, I have a ball to send you to your slumber!"

On the pitch, where smoke and snow mingled, darkness and dazzling light suddenly rose and fell.

"What!"

Atobe looked up and saw that the opposite basketball court was now only filled with darkness, and a full moon that had suddenly appeared in the darkness.

A figure emerged from the full moon, wielding a black katana that shone with golden light. He flew through the air and slashed down at Atobe.

"Shadow Three Severing Slashes!"

Concealed in the darkness, facing the incoming tennis ball, Muneyoshi raised his hand and swept it away. Moonlight shone down, and the clear light that swept across the tennis ball instantly brought forth three sharp bursts of energy.

"Is this all you've got? Watch me beat you back!"

With a loud roar, Atobe relied on his last bit of clarity to catch the ball.

With a ripping sound, Atobe's shot pierced the surface of Muneyoshi's racket.

The tennis ball, its momentum undiminished, slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. It then bounced high into the air, leaving a deep hole in the wall behind Atobe and collapsing a large section of the wall.

Atobe himself was also carried backward by this powerful force.

However, as soon as he left the ground, Atobe felt his body become extremely heavy, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Thump!

"Match ended! Saeki Muneyoshi of Fudomine Junior High won, with a score of 6:1."

Atobe's unconsciousness brought the game to a brief pause.

The staff also took this opportunity to begin tidying up the court again.

After a short break, the doubles match began.

Keith and Lin Xiu easily and quickly overwhelmed Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou, making the score 6-0.

"With this, Fudomine Junior High defeated Hyotei Academy 3-1 in the Semifinals of the Kanto Tournament, advancing to the finals."
