Hiss hiss hiss!

The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, Atobe immediately felt the immense force transmitted through it.

"What?"

A cry of surprise escaped Atobe's lips, and he immediately gripped the racket with his left hand as well!

Even though Atobe used all his strength, he couldn't block the shot. The fast-spinning tennis ball made a swish swish swish sound as it rubbed against the racket!

It was like a roaring beast!

"Haaah!" Atobe's hands were bulging with veins, reaching their limit, but he didn't let go of the racket. He wouldn't allow the previous scene to happen even once more!

Bang!

The tennis ball directly pierced Atobe's racket, leaving a hole the size of a tennis ball!

Then it hit the ground heavily, creating a dent, and bounced back towards the metal net behind the court!

"Ding, Show-off Value +5

Show-off Value +10"

"What did I just see? He actually broke through the racket? Am I dreaming?"

"Is this even human? This is a god!"

"The word 'pervert' can no longer describe Captain Chiba. He's a god! Yagami!"

"Atobe, Atobe's racket was broken! Taro!" Shishido Ryo's shocked voice rang out.

"This is unbelievable, Light Bullet, right?" Gakuto asked.

"Yes, I heard it was Light Bullet!" Oshitari's tone was very certain!

Chiba Yun Chuan's final Light Bullet stunned the surrounding audience.

At this moment, the tennis ball was spinning past the net, emitting a scorched smell!

Finally, it flew out of the tennis court!

"Match over, the score is six to zero. Captain Chiba wins!" the referee stammered as he announced the result.

The audience by the sidelines was still in shock from Li Yun's previous shot. What followed was a huge uproar.

"Oh my god, another six-zero!"

"Captain Yagami looks so cool when he plays tennis, I can't handle it!"

"What was that last shot? So strong!"

"Did you guys see that? The last ball was actually glowing!"

Looking at Chiba Yun Chuan standing on the court as if nothing had happened, Inoue Mamoru thought to himself, "It seems like it won't be easy for Rikkai Dai to win the National Tournament for the second consecutive year! This Chiba Yun Chuan's strength is probably among the strongest in the national level.

Coupled with Atobe Keigo, if they also have a national-level doubles and singles player, their chances of winning the championship are huge! I'm really looking forward to it. I didn't expect to have such a surprise upon returning early. I'm increasingly anticipating the matches that will start in a few months!"

After speaking, he picked up his camera and took a few more photos.

Atobe was already lying on the ground, spread out like a starfish. His rapid breathing indicated he had reached his limit!

Atobe felt completely drained of strength.

This match today had shattered Atobe's understanding of the game! It had also shattered the understanding of the surrounding audience!

So this is how strong junior high students can be?

For Atobe, he was even stronger than the Rikkai Dai players he faced last year!

This was the first time Atobe had his racket knocked away while playing against someone!

This was the first time Atobe had his racket pierced while playing against someone!

And the most significant part was that it was another junior high student! Just like him, and he was a year older.

This was what truly shocked him.

This had never happened before! He cast a deep glance at Chiba Yun Chuan across the net.

Atobe's understanding of him deepened once again, and he became even more convinced that he could lead Hyotei to win the National Tournament championship.

He picked up his racket and examined it closely. The large hole in the center was glaring.

What kind of strength could pierce a tennis racket?

"How is it, Atobe? This is true skill. This move is called Light Bullet!

Although it's a simplified version, it's not bad."

"Cool, right?

If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

Chiba Yun Chuan looked at Atobe, tilted his head back, and said arrogantly.

"Ding, Show-off Value +5

Show-off Value +10

"

"Tch, I'm not interested at all! I'll create my own tennis techniques! I definitely will!"

Indeed, Atobe had created his own techniques!

Looking at Atobe Keigo, who was still so confident even after a crushing defeat, Chiba Yun Chuan felt a surge of emotion!

He had admired Atobe even before his transmigration, which was why he was treating him this way now.

"Let's achieve together what the future has left undone! Atobe!" Chiba Yun Chuan met Atobe's gaze, and they both saw unwavering confidence in each other!

Hearing this, Atobe was stunned. The National Tournament?

"Chiba, you're the only department head I have, Atobe!" This was a fleeting thought in Atobe's mind.

The match between Chiba Yun Chuan and Atobe had already ended!

Unsurprisingly, the score was six to zero, with Atobe not scoring a single point.

At this moment, Atobe could only see through his opponent's weaknesses and shot trajectories. Most importantly, the gap between him and Chiba Yun Chuan was too vast. Even if he could see Chiba Yun Chuan's weaknesses and shot trajectories, he lacked the skill to exploit them or return the shots.

Moreover, Chiba Yun Chuan was just playing around and hadn't used his full strength.

Even his Light Bullet was a simplified version!

"How was it, Atobe? My half-strength was pretty good, wasn't it? Look at you, you're too tired to even walk!" Chiba Yun Chuan teased, looking at the drenched Atobe opposite him.

"Tch, it was just so-so. I'll definitely return that shot of yours someday!" After saying that, he walked directly to the rest area, letting the next player take the court!

Chiba Yun Chuan hadn't broken a sweat, only feeling a little warm.

He smiled as he watched Atobe slowly walk away.

"Alright, my warm-up is over. Who's next? Let's finish this quickly!" Chiba Yun Chuan pointed his racket around, like a king dominating the court, declaring his reign and sweeping away all opposition.

"Ding, Show-off Value +5

Show-off Value +10

"

"He's so strong, is our Hyotei going to rise?"

"Who's stronger, Director Chiba or Rikkai Dai's Director Yukimura Seiichi, last year's champion?"

"This level of skill is comparable to the leaders of other schools, right?"

"Yukimura Seiichi should be a bit stronger; after all, he's the club president of a school that won the National Tournament!"

Looking at Atobe slowly heading towards the rest area, Ootori Choutarou and the others wore serious expressions.

"I don't know who's next, but I feel like having a department head like this is a good thing for us! Let's chase after his footsteps and grow stronger!"

"That's right, Taro! Not only that, we're going to win the National Tournament!" Gakuto's face was filled with fighting spirit and confidence!

"I might not have time to sleep anymore, which is really annoying."

"Oshitari, are you ready?"

"Gakuto, what do you think?"

Hana had finished organizing the data and then called out, "Next match, doubles pair: Mukahi Gakuto and Oshitari Yuushi."

Upon hearing this, the two of them picked up their rackets and headed towards the court.
