Hyotei's Strength

Seeing his form, Chiba Yun Chuan unleashed another Powerful Topspin Serve!

However, the ball speed increased this time, but Akutsu still managed to pinpoint the ball's landing spot.

He swung his racket directly at the tennis ball, the friction between racket and ball creating a continuous sound as Akutsu removed the spin.

"Take this!"

With that, he put force into his arm and sent the just-bounced tennis ball back!

Seeing his serve returned, Chiba Yun Chuan wasn't surprised at all. If Akutsu didn't have this much skill, it would be a disservice to his talent!

"Akutsu, watch this! This is true tennis technique!

Light Bullet!"

As soon as he spoke, Chiba Yun Chuan appeared where the ball had bounced and swung his racket towards it. His arm muscles bulged, and his arm grew a size larger!

Then, Akutsu witnessed the moment Chiba Yun Chuan decided to play tennis. The tennis ball on Chiba Yun Chuan's racket emitted a golden glow, and then Akutsu felt the tennis ball, carrying a golden shockwave, fly towards his court.

Watching the rapidly approaching tennis ball, Akutsu didn't flinch; instead, he grew more excited!

He dashed towards the ball's landing spot, took his position, got into a receiving stance, and swung his racket at the ball!

"Don't underestimate me, kid!" But before he could finish speaking, he felt something was wrong!

Even with Akutsu's formidable arm strength, he could barely withstand the impact with one hand! His legs bent slightly, and he quickly placed his left hand on the racket as well.

"Aaaaaah~~~~~" Akutsu let out a massive roar, which sounded quite chilling!

But

With a thwack, the tennis ball shot straight through Akutsu's racket and landed on the court.

"Bang!"

Akutsu turned his head with a look of shock towards his right rear. A dent had appeared there, but the tennis ball had vanished without a trace!

This scene deeply shocked Akutsu. Was it possible for a tennis ball to reach this level? It was truly fun.

Akutsu's eyes changed noticeably at this moment!

Chiba Yun Chuan had awakened the desire deep within Akutsu's heart!

He was interested!

"Tennis can be this fun. Kid, you're truly different from the others!

But if you want me to go to Hyotei, you'll have to play until I can't move anymore!"

An hour later, Chiba Yun Chuan was sweating. This was the second time he had sweated; the first was when he was playing against all of Hyotei's regular players in turns. Now, playing against Akutsu here had also made him sweat!

It wasn't because Akutsu was exceptionally strong, but because Chiba Yun Chuan had played with Akutsu until the latter was exhausted!

Chiba Yun Chuan also intended to see Akutsu's limits, so he had been holding back his strength throughout the match!

Akutsu's physical talent was truly exceptional. In Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes, Akutsu was even more formidable than he appeared in the anime, perhaps due to the protagonist's halo suppressing him. He hadn't been as dazzling then!

But the current Akutsu had already surprised Chiba Yun Chuan greatly.

The match had now ended.

Looking at Akutsu lying on the court opposite him, Chiba Yun Chuan slowly walked over to his side, looked down at him, and said, "I'll handle your transfer procedures. I'll find your mother a good job.

All you need to do is report to the Hyotei tennis club tomorrow!

And then, together with me, we'll win the National Tournament championship."

After speaking, Chiba Yun Chuan walked towards his tennis bag, put away his racket, slung the bag over his shoulder, and slowly departed under Akutsu's exhausted gaze.

Akutsu would never forget that back, the back of a god!

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the Kanto region preliminaries!

Hyotei Academy

Tennis Club

At this moment, the two hundred members of the tennis club had assembled.

Even Chiba Yun Chuan was among them!

"Tomorrow is the regional preliminaries, Hyotei is definitely winning!"

"Hyotei always wins and advances."

"Regular players, when will I become one of them? I'm so envious!"

The surrounding members and spectators were all discussing animatedly.

"Tomorrow are the regional preliminaries, this is our first battle to advance to the National Tournament. Regardless of the opponent's strength, I hope you all take it seriously and don't underestimate them.

Anyone who loses in the match will have to play a match against Chiba later. I don't think you want to play against him, do you? So I hope you'll give it your all!

Remember, never underestimate your opponent!"

Tomorrow, our first round match is a bye. As for the subsequent matches, we'll see the draw. I hope we advance with a perfect record, without losing a single game! Can we do it?"

"Yes!"

The Hyotei team members were full of confidence, stemming from their strength and the results of their training!

"I really want to play against Chiba, but I don't want to lose!" Akutsu was the first to speak.

"Please, Coach Hana, playing against the captain is truly agonizing!" This was Ootori Choutarou's voice. He had been thoroughly beaten by Chiba Yun Chuan many times these past few months, but his strength had improved by leaps and bounds!

"My magnificent tennis skills are impossible to lose with, except against that guy." After Atobe finished speaking, he glanced at Chiba Yun Chuan, who was standing behind Hana.

Hana was currently giving a pre-match pep talk. The penalty for losing a match was actually to compete against Chiba Yun Chuan?

At this moment, all of Hyotei's regulars had assembled. After several months of special training, Hyotei's regular members had been officially decided! They were:

Chiba Yun Chuan, Atobe Keigo, Mukahi Gakuto, Oshitari Yuushi, Akutagawa Jirou, Shishido Ryo, Ootori Choutarou, Kabaji Takahiro, Hiyoshi Wakashi, and Akutsu!

After months of training, Hyotei was now completely transformed!

Hana, using the data she had collected and the shortcomings of Hyotei's regular members from Chiba Yun Chuan's mind, had formulated corresponding training plans!

This made Hyotei's official members more than just a little stronger than in the original story.

First, Atobe Keigo improved the fastest. Atobe had now perfected his serve, making it even more troublesome than the original Donnerwelle Serve!

Not only that, Atobe had now developed his own tennis skills: Destructive Waltz and World of Ice!

Of course, all of these were realized during his matches against Chiba Yun Chuan.

Atobe's current strength placed him within the top three among national-level players! As for his exact ranking, only playing matches would tell!

Besides Atobe, the one who had improved the most in the Hyotei tennis club was Akutsu!

Even Hana had praised his tennis talent more than once. His powerful physique and abundant stamina all testified to Akutsu's potential.

His strength within Hyotei was second only to Chiba Yun Chuan, on par with Atobe.

Akutsu had also played against Atobe, but their matches always ended in a draw. Of course, this was when neither of them had gone all out!
