Kicking Echizen Nanjirou?

What did it mean to be at the national level? In The Prince of Tennis, you could count on two hands the number of players who had reached that level!

Tezuka before his hand was injured, the Child of God Yukimura Seiichi, Echizen Ryoma, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Atobe Keigo, Sanada Genichirou, and others.

And how long had Chiba Yun Chuan been in the world of The Prince of Tennis? His stats were already at the national level. All he needed to do was absorb these abilities, and he'd become a bona fide national-level tennis player!

Moreover, Chiba Yun Chuan had gained two incredibly powerful talents: Tough Body, which strengthened his physical abilities, and Eye of God, which enhanced his mental abilities. They were practically god-tier talents in the world of tennis!

And thanks to Tough Body, Chiba Yun Chuan's other physical attributes were no slouch either!

He was well-rounded, with exceptional stamina and Mental Power on top of that. Was he about to become invincible?

A feeling of invincibility welled up inside Chiba Yun Chuan. He could almost see himself punching Byodoin Hōō and kicking Echizen Nanjirou!

That would feel amazing.

For now, though, it was only a fantasy. Punching Byodoin Hōō might actually be doable; at least Chiba Yun Chuan knew how strong he was.

But the Samurai Echizen Nanjirou's strength was like a Black Hole. Even before Chiba Yun Chuan had crossed over, no one had ever managed to make Echizen Nanjirou go all out!

Maybe even the author, who was obsessed with coming up with tennis skills, didn't know! There was no way Chiba Yun Chuan could know, either!

So the most important thing now was to cling to the system and keep getting stronger and stronger!

With that in mind, Chiba Yun Chuan asked,

"System, what's this Show-off Value for? Do I have to show off to earn it? Is there any other way to get it?"

When Chiba Yun Chuan saw the Show-off Value in the system, he already had an idea of what it was for. Systems usually worked like that.

In his previous life, Chiba Yun Chuan had read plenty of novels, including some with systems, but this was his first time hearing of a show-off system!

"The host can earn Show-off Value by showing off or completing system missions. Show-off Value can be used in the system shop to exchange for tennis skills or the host's attributes.

The exchange rate is 100,000 Show-off Value for one attribute point."

Hearing this, Chiba Yun Chuan felt like the system was a bit of a rip-off.

"One hundred thousand to one? Why don't you just rob me?

Is it easy for me to earn Show-off Value? My balance is still zero!

A system shouldn't be such a bloodsucker! I advise you to be kind!"

"All of the system's settings are reasonable. Please don't be so sensitive, host!"

"Where's the system shop? Can I open it by just thinking about it?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, he decided to drop the subject.

He mentally opened the system shop, and a shop panel immediately appeared in front of him!

Then he started browsing.

You didn't know until you looked, and once you did, you got a shock! Chiba Yun Chuan was stunned by the items in the system shop!

Hongmeng—Another Dimension: 10,000,000 Show-off Value

Chaos—Another Dimension: 5,000,000 Show-off Value

The prices of everything in the shop were absurdly high! Unwilling to give up, Chiba Yun Chuan flipped through a few more pages, then gave up browsing. He'd come back when he had some "money"!

He couldn't afford any of it anyway. Looking would only make him drool. What was the point?

So he closed the system shop.

Chiba Yun Chuan looked at his Five-Dimensional Attributes again and asked,

"System, these Five-Dimensional Attributes aren't my physical stats, are they?"

"The Five-Dimensional Attributes reflect the various aspects of the host's physique. A higher score shows where the host has greater talent!"

Hearing the system's explanation, Chiba Yun Chuan realized it was just as he'd thought, and immediately asked,

"Then what's Yukimura Seiichi's Mental Power?"

Chiba Yun Chuan felt the system had just stated the obvious. He wanted to know how strong he was right now. What was the point of telling him that?

So he found a point of comparison to see what level his Mental Power was at, and get a sense of his other physical abilities as well.

"Host, Yukimura Seiichi's current Mental Power attribute is 6."

Hearing this, Chiba Yun Chuan felt like he was about to ascend to heaven! What was the Child of God Yukimura Seiichi's most powerful skill? Anyone who'd watched The Prince of Tennis would say Metsu Go Kan!

As the name suggested, Metsu Go Kan was a freakish skill that could make an opponent lose their five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch!

Metsu Go Kan was a manifestation of Mental Power!

Chiba Yun Chuan's Mental Power and stamina were both at 8. That meant his Mental Power was impressive, and his stamina was terrifying, too.

Best of all, he'd even drawn a tennis skill: Light Bullet. It was practically synonymous with destruction—a skill powerful enough to smash right through a wall!

It was like adding wings to a tiger!

He couldn't believe he'd drawn this skill. Back when he'd watched the anime, Light Bullet had been Chiba Yun Chuan's favorite tennis skill! His second favorite was Oni Juro's Black Axe!

Its power and effects were top-notch. Chiba Yun Chuan loved flashy skills with overwhelming force!

Of course, there was no need to mention Asura Path or Another Dimension. Who wouldn't want those?

They were divine skills!

But he'd have to take his time acquiring them. One of the missions rewarded him with Asura Path, after all.

And this was Asura Path!

The mission required him to join a school and become the tennis club's Captain. Chiba Yun Chuan wanted to join Hyotei, but with his current ability, it was definitely out of reach. He had to improve his skills first!

At that thought, Chiba Yun Chuan could barely sit still. He wanted to start training right away!

But according to the memories in his mind, the previous owner of this body had been injured playing tennis. It probably wouldn't be easy to just go out and play right now!

Still, Chiba Yun Chuan decided to worry about that later. All he wanted was to find a tennis court and play to his heart's content!

So he immediately climbed out of bed, only to realize he didn't seem to have any clothes!

Just as Chiba Yun Chuan was about to get out of bed and look for something to wear, he heard footsteps!

He turned toward the door and saw a middle-aged woman dressed in elegant clothes walking in. The moment he saw her face, memories surfaced in Chiba Yun Chuan's mind. He knew she was the mother of the body he now occupied, a woman named Ishizuka Miki.

She was the daughter of one of Country R's prominent families.

A middle-aged man in a suit followed behind her. Chiba Yun Chuan's memories held no trace of him!

When Ishizuka Miki saw Chiba Yun Chuan getting out of bed, she immediately quickened her pace and spoke as she hurried toward him.

"My precious Yun Chuan, why are you getting up instead of resting?

Lie back down right now. Your head hasn't healed yet!

I told you not to play tennis, but you insisted. Look what happened! You nearly scared me to death!

You're not allowed to play tennis anymore, okay?"

Although Ishizuka Miki sounded a little displeased, Chiba Yun Chuan could feel how deeply she cared about him!
