The Limit That Severs Cloudbreak, All Is Destroyed
The entire stadium fell silent; all the cheers had vanished. ♪🐠 Claw 🏆😾
The audience watched the duel between the two players intently.
The clash between Muneyoshi and Tezuka at this moment was too intense; the change in strategy for each ball was completed almost in the blink of an eye.
Muneyoshi initially intended to catch Tezuka off Tezuka with a Shining Shot, but Tezuka had secretly incorporated a spin zone into his serve.
At the same time, Muneyoshi Tezuka Shining Shot to suppress him.
With composure and decisiveness, they used the strength Hundred-Refinement Limit and the skills of the Super Sweet Spot to deal with the situation.
Such a level of understanding amazed the many ordinary people present.
Despite being the receiver, Muneyoshi displayed an aggressive attacking mentality.
Tezuka, serving, did not maintain his defensive counter-attacking strategy, and while returning the ball, he showed his strength and wanted to score.
Tap tap tap.
Tezuka tapped the tennis ball a few more times, becoming even more wary, and gave Muneyoshi a deep look across the table.
Swish!
As the tennis ball was tossed into the air, Tezuka was once again enveloped in a rainbow of light.
The light of the State of Selflessness grew ever deeper, and then the Cloudbreak light of the heavenly garment began to spread.
The Cloudbreak Limit, molten lava-like heat gradually separated Muneyoshi's Darkness Domain, creating a space roughly halfway across the court.
Bang!
As Tezuka swung his Tezuka, the tennis ball seemed to absorb Tezuka radiance, becoming intense and terrifying.
At this moment, the ball's speed reached its peak!
Across the court, Muneyoshi wore a faint smile, and the white light that streaked across the space seemed to be playing in slow motion in his eyes.
As he moved, a purplish-black light rose from his body, and with each breath, his entire racket was enveloped in a ghostly glow.
"Very good, Tezuka. Your mastery of the Cloudbreak has deepened even further; it can now withstand the invasion of my domain."
In a split second, Muneyoshi was already at the landing point of the tennis ball. Using the momentum of his movement, Muneyoshi swung his racket and brought it down.
The muscular arm created a whooshing sound as the black and red-rimmed racket seemed to draw a purplish-black streak of light in the air, with a dark gold edge to the streak.
Boom!
Two completely different lights, one black and one gold, burst forth on Muneyoshi's racket.
A strong gust of wind whipped up a cloud of dust that spread rapidly outwards.
"This move should still be the rotation of Tezuka Zone, right? Then let's see if your domain can really stop me! Light Darkness Combination - Light and Dark Twins!"
As Muneyoshi revealed the Path of Darkness, his originally cheerful voice turned cold, like icy iron, and all his emotions were suppressed.
Whoosh!
The intense black and gold light pressed down on Tezuka with unstoppable force, and the rotation of Tezuka Zone was completely destroyed by Muneyoshi.
However, Tezuka, on the other side of the court, remained unfazed even after seeing his area of effect broken.
Tezuka's eyes reflected a black and gold light, showing no sign of flinching or even moving.
However, even though he made no other movements, the tennis ball was repelled as if it encountered some kind of obstruction when it flew towards Tezuka.
Thump!
The tennis ball landed heavily just one centimeter outside the sideline.
"Out of bounds, Seigaku's Tezuka Kunimitsu, 15-15!"
The Supreme Domain, rotating both inside and out!
"Wow, that's amazing! Even Captain Tezuka's Double Spin seems unable to break through Fudomine!"
"Yes, even Saeki Muneyoshi shouldn't be able to handle two different spins at the same time!"
In the Seigaku rest area, Momoshiro, Kaidoh, and the first-year students of Seigaku jumped up excitedly. At this moment, Tezuka seemed incredibly tall in their eyes.
"That's true, but Saeki Muneyoshi on the other side was really scary. I almost thought he could break through Tezuka's domain."
In contrast to the optimism of others, Kikumaru, who was usually optimistic, became uncharacteristically worried.
"I don't think so. Kikumaru -senpai, even Tezuka and Yukimura from Rikkai Dai can't break through Sanada's current domain."
Echizen Ryoma stood to the side, somewhat suspicious.
He had never witnessed Saeki Muneyoshi's true strength. Although he knew that Saeki Muneyoshi was said to be the best in the middle school, he subconsciously thought that he was just slightly stronger.
He's not that much better than Tezuka.
If that's all there is to it, he doesn't think Muneyoshi can destroy all of this by brute force.
He couldn't think of anyone who could break through Tezuka's absolute territory.
"Maybe, perhaps."
Fuji, who was standing to the side, also opened his eyes, a hint of uncertainty flashing in them.
The last time Muneyoshi displayed such impressive strength was during last year's Four-Nation Exchange Tournament.
Before and after this, Muneyoshi's matches almost always ended in a crushing victory, making it difficult to discern much of his true abilities.
"Is this the Supreme Domain? Truly genius-level technique. Is this Tezuka Phantom again? Let me try once more!"
Swish!
As Muneyoshi pondered this, he sprinted forward, then bent his knees and pushed off the ground with both legs.
The tall, slender figure leaped into the air, the muscles in his arms beginning to bulge.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed through the air, and then the onlookers discovered that the tennis ball had vanished from their sight.
As Muneyoshi delivered a smash, the tennis ball flew over the net and disappeared into the shadows.
The next moment, a deadly killing intent made the hairs on Tezuka's body stand on end.
"This time... it's a smash with Darkness Shot!"
Having known Muneyoshi for so long, Tezuka was well aware that Muneyoshi was more adept at darkness than light, and had gone very far down the path of darkness.
However, the Tezuka of today is not the same as the one from last year.
The Darkness Shot once rendered him completely helpless is now something he can contend with.
Tezuka's hands moved quickly, and his feet slipped again, subtly extinguishing the spinning of Tezuka Phantom, but he was still drawn in by Tezuka Zone.
The next second, Tezuka slammed the ball back into Muneyoshi's court with a backhand smash.
Tezuka had already dealt with the Shining Shot, so the Darkness Shot would certainly be no challenge for him.
Aside from the Light Darkness Combination being a little troublesome, Tezuka doesn't find the other Tezuka difficult to deal with.
But the pervasive and dangerous aura made Tezuka realize that Muneyoshi was about to get serious.
And that was indeed the case. As Tezuka returned the Darkness Shot, Muneyoshi's previously expanding Darkness Domain began to shrink.
"With Cloudbreak as its foundation, Tezuka Zone as its base, Tezuka Phantom as its secret technique, and Double Spin as its ultimate skill, such strength is indeed enough to establish oneself in the world."
Muneyoshi glanced at the incoming tennis ball and noticed that the outermost layer of it was the rotation of Tezuka Zone.
In the midst of his mental turmoil, Muneyoshi finalized his tactics.
Since the outermost layer is Tezuka Zone, then the inner rotation is Tezuka Phantom.
Since eliminating the outer rotation would cause the object to fall outside the boundary, Muneyoshi simply decided not to eliminate it.
"Tezuka, your domain is powerful, but can you really deflect all my attacks? And are you really sure your Cloudbreak is truly invincible? What if you lose Cloudbreak?"
Tezuka heard Muneyoshi's cold voice, and a deadly crisis suddenly enveloped him.
The next second, a beam of moon-white light flew out from Muneyoshi's racket, a crescent moon disappeared into the darkness, and a blurry silver-white figure appeared on the court, making the same sword-wielding motion.
Shadow Three Severing Slashes!
Bang!
Muneyoshi pulled his arm out at a ninety-degree angle, and the three streams of light—golden, black, and moon-white—instantly rolled back.
Tezuka slipped, and the originally smooth circular area became messy, but that wasn't the most important thing.
As the three beams of light flew towards him, Tezuka's Cloudbreak aura expanded once more, the aura continuously eroding the tennis ball.
In an attempt to defuse Muneyoshi's attack.
However, this action seemed to anger the three beams of light. In the next instant, the light merged together, and a phantom silver-white figure appeared in front of Tezuka.
The silver-white figure, wielding an illusory katana, slashed heavily at Tezuka, who was enveloped in Heavenly Clothes Light, and the tennis ball pierced through Tezuka's defense.
In the rush, Tezuka his racket to meet the attack.
The blade flashed, leaving a clear mark on the racket face, and at the same time, it seemed to have struck the connection between Tezuka Ten'i and his spirit.
As the blade flashed, a look of confusion crossed Tezuka's eyes. He seemed to have lost everything in an instant, and the seamless light of his azure Cloudbreak slowly dissipated.
Thump!
The ground trembled, and the sound of falling gravel suddenly came from behind Tezuka.
The spectators outside the stadium stared in disbelief at the huge hole in the field.
Then he slowly shifted his gaze to the net.
At this moment, Muneyoshi stood there solemnly, his powerful aura resonating in the hearts of everyone present.
The referee, who had been stunned, had finally recovered and quickly announced:
"Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 30-40!"
