A Perfect Match? No-Both Step Into the Different Dimension (Second Update; Please Support the Double-Points Event)
Outside the stadium, Yanagi Renji also looked confused, his squinted eyes already wide open:
"The domain worked again, so Tezuka must have used some kind of special spinning technique to break through Yukimura's blockade?"
His tone carried a hint of conjecture. ♤🎃 ♥😳
"But how is that possible? Yukimura can execute a reverse spin in an instant; there's no spin that can stump him!"
However, apart from this answer, Yanagi Renji found it difficult to find any other reason to explain it.
"Tezuka has indeed become stronger."
In the Fudomine area, Tachibana Kippei clenched his fists tightly, pondering whether he could defeat Tezuka if he entered a berserk state.
Although most of his moves were not effective against Tezuka, his impact and physical strength were superior to Tezuka's.
However, with the opening of the Cloudbreak, Tezuka's disadvantages are no longer disadvantages.
Muneyoshi, who was standing nearby, was explaining the features of the Perfect Cloudbreak and how to deal with it to Ibu Shinji, Kamio Akira, and Lin Xiu.
"So, as Muneyoshi said, if you want to directly compete with Cloudbreak Limit opponent, you can't let yourself be overwhelmed by their brilliance."
Lin Xiu nodded thoughtfully. The last time they activated the Miracle Power of Synchronization in doubles, they were defeated, which gave them a deep understanding of Cloudbreak.
Keith wasn't interested in the Cloudbreak; having learned how to counter it, he could barely hold out with his Synchronization. The only thing that piqued his curiosity was the technique Tezuka had just used.
"Muneyoshi, do you know what that is?"
Muneyoshi noticed a hint of eagerness in Keith's cold eyes, realizing that Keith was attracted by Tezuka's strength, so he didn't keep him in suspense.
"Tezuka must have hit two different spins at the same time with that last shot!"
While Muneyoshi was explaining the secret of Tezuka's move to the members of Fudomine, the others were also discussing and pondering it.
They weren't Muneyoshi, who knew all this in advance; they could only learn through trial and error on their own.
"Even though we've already eliminated that special spin inside the tennis ball..."
On the court, Yukimura looked up at Tezuka, but Tezuka's expression remained unchanged, offering no answer.
Yukimura frowned slightly, but he didn't panic. Up to this point in the match, both of them had been holding their serves and hadn't broken each other's serve.
Whoever breaks serve first in the end wins the match.
With that thought in mind, Yukimura, who had reached the baseline, lifted his arm and tossed another tennis ball into the air.
The unknown represents uncertainty.
Rikkai Dai, at this point, can no longer afford to suffer from such uncertainty.
Since we're unsure of Tezuka's moves, we should force him to use them more often so he can figure out what's going on.
So Yukimura's shot... was aimed directly at Tezuka!
Bang!
The mustard-yellow tennis ball shot out rapidly.
Yukimura crouched down, intently watching Tezuka's body and wrist movements.
A head-on confrontation often makes it easier to see the opponent's techniques clearly.
As Tezuka watched the tennis ball bounce and hurtle towards his forehand, a hint of surprise flickered in the depths of his eyes.
He had initially thought that Yukimura would continue to use his superb skills and strong willpower to both harass him and look for opportunities to score.
However, after sensing something was wrong, he quickly searched for his secret, his reaction was really fast.
Tezuka had to admit that Yukimura was indeed a formidable opponent in the junior high school world, second only to Muneyoshi, and was remarkably perceptive in certain aspects.
"However... if you start to adapt to my rhythm, then ultimately..."
Tezuka's movement was not significant.
He intercepted the tennis ball with almost a single step.
Hiss hiss hiss~
The power and precision transmitted through the racket remained undiminished; under Yukimura's Zero Sense state, the erosion and attenuation effect of the Cloudbreak on him was negligible.
Tezuka pressed down hard on his wrist; he had already mastered the technique of deflecting force in the sweet spot.
Bang!
The tennis ball flew back as a streak of white light.
"I won't be mistaken this time, this time it's Tezuka Zone!"
Yukimura's gaze was fixed on the white light that had rolled back.
Although his eyesight wasn't as sharp as Atobe's, he was still quite certain he wasn't mistaken; the tennis ball contained the kind of spin inherent in Tezuka Zone.
Having confirmed this, Yukimura did not hesitate at all, took a step forward, and was almost in front of the tennis ball in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
In an instant, Yukimura unleashed his full mental power and the Mirage Realm technique once again, this time putting all his strength into the ball.
His lifeless eyes conveyed a simple conviction, and a new power coursed through his body.
As he stepped back to prepare for the shot, a figure drawn by his spiritual power appeared behind him.
At this moment, even Muneyoshi, who was watching from the sidelines, could vaguely see a resemblance to Yukimura in this illusory figure.
As the phantom figure outlined by the silvery-white spiritual light appeared on Yukimura, his aura continued to rise.
Like a majestic peak piercing the sky.
Bang!
Yukimura aimed directly at the incoming tennis ball and smacked it, the ball spinning back as if a series of images were playing out alongside it.
On the other side, Tezuka's celestial robes shone even more deeply, but his face remained cold and aloof.
Because he knew that Yukimura's shot wouldn't go in.
With a loud bang!
A sudden repulsive force appeared from mid-air, directly "pushing" the tennis ball away.
"Out! Seigaku Tezuka Kunimitsu scores, 15-0."
The referee's voice rang out.
Yukimura looked somewhat surprised as he stared at the gradually rounding mark at the edge.
The tennis ball landed precisely in the middle of the doubles and singles boundary lines.
Call.
Yukimura took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Now he was absolutely certain; it wasn't a coincidence!
If it wasn't a coincidence, how did Tezuka Kunimitsu manage to do it?
Could he really apply two different spins to a tennis ball at the same time?
Subconsciously, Yukimura came to a seemingly absurd conclusion, his brows furrowing slightly, and his hand unconsciously clenched tighter.
If Tezuka couldn't add two types of rotations at the same time, that would be one thing. But when he actually did it, his system was completely expanded and formed.
Yukimura's plan to use the Mirage Realm to offset the deficit and win the match has now fallen through.
Whether this match will continue depends on their next move.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu, a formidable opponent... However, this is not over yet; your future has been cut off by me!"
Swish!
Yukimura tossed the ball high into the air, and as he leaped with bent knees, his eyes shone with purple light. He reactivated his mental techniques, which had seemed to have been completely neutralized.
At the same time, Yukimura slammed his racket down with a powerful smash.
The tennis ball was like a cannonball, startling the entire audience.
Tezuka, on the other side of the court, remained unmoved. He swung his arm out, meeting the powerfully bouncing tennis ball, and his racket cut in at a clever angle.
Bang!
However, at the very moment the ball hit the net, Tezuka's calm expression suddenly changed, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Call out!
The moment the tennis ball flew off the racket, Tezuka's pale blue aura of selflessness shone again, like a purifying flame, and his previously numb arm regained sensation.
Unfortunately, --
Because of the sudden loss of his five senses, Tezuka's shot failed to clear the net, and the mustard-yellow tennis ball was spinning around in the middle of the net.
"Net, Rikkai Dai's Yukimura Seiichi scores, 15:15."
"Was that the Annihilate Five Senses just now?"
Off the field, Tachibana Kippei, who had experienced Yukimura's methods firsthand, was also somewhat incredulous at the sight.
"Muneyoshi, didn't you say that the Annihilate Five Senses was useless against Tezuka when he unlocked the Cloudbreak Limit Tezuka? Why is he still affected by Yukimura's ability to Annihilate Five Senses?"
Not only Tachibana, but also the group from Seigaku and Hyotei Academy were confused.
"Tachibana, I was only talking about the normal level of Annihilate Five Senses before. Yukimura's methods just now were anything but simple. Under Tezuka's pressure, he probably evolved as well. I didn't expect that he and Tezuka would both..."
Muneyoshi did say before that if Yukimura hadn't undergone a transformation when facing Tezuka who had activated his Heavenly Tezuka, then the probability of him being able to annihilate Tezuka's Annihilate Five Senses would be almost nonexistent!
The members of Fudomine also believed this, because the Cloudbreak was a legendary ability in Japan.
If you said that such ability directly represented victory, they would believe you.
However, Yukimura actually did it at this moment. What this means is unclear to others, but how could Tachibana Kippei and Keith not understand!
This touches upon the realm of Different Dimension.
"Yukimura Seiichi..."
Tachibana Kippei remained silent; this Rikkai Dai minister was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
The understanding and strategic thinking that Tezuka and Yukimura displayed in tennis were also incredibly impressive.
From the very beginning, the rhythm of this match was tightly interwoven.
For every card they played, the other side had a strategy to counter it.
Tap... tap... slap...
Holding the tennis ball tightly, Yukimura's eyes were devoid of emotion, but he was completely absorbed in the game, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Bang!
Yukimura hit the tennis ball again.
After flying out of the net, the tennis ball transformed into a thin golden line, tracing across Tezuka's eyes on the other side.
As the tennis ball drew closer, Tezuka's vision became increasingly blurred, as if the speed exceeded the limits of what the eyes could perceive.
"This time, has it turned into depriving us of our sight?"
Tezuka felt his vision blur slightly, but the next moment, the radiance of his celestial robe restored him to his best condition.
Tezuka held his breath and quickly adapted to Yukimura's usual tactics in his serve.
He glanced at where the tennis ball was going to land, then strode forward and slammed it down!
His body shimmered with a blue light as he swiftly struck the ball back.
The tennis ball is imbued with an unpredictable spin the moment the racket is swung.
"Tezuka, you're too slow!"
However, the next second, Yukimura, like a cheetah, rushed into the air above the tennis ball at an extremely fast speed.
Um?
Tezuka's celestial robes swayed again, dimming for a moment, and Tezuka's expression became dazed. A sense of familiar unease surfaced in his mind.
This scene...
He seems familiar!
