One limit?

"Inoue Mamoru senpai, what is the State of Selflessness? Is it powerful?"

"The State of Selflessness was unlocked by the Samurai, Echizen Nanjirou."

Seeing Tezuka also enter the State of Selflessness at this moment, the Hyotei members began to discuss.

"What do we do? Can the Captain win?" Oshitari asked.

"Are you kidding me? How could Chiba possibly lose? If anyone's going to lose, it'll be to me! He won't lose to anyone before he loses to me, understand?" Akutsu directly retorted Oshitari's words, his ferocious expression making Oshitari swallow hard.

"This Tezuka isn't a simple character either. No wonder the Captain had to play himself!" Shishido Ryo said from the side.

Hearing their words, everyone else began to look towards the court.

At this moment, Tezuka on the court was like a war god clad in white armor, his aura growing even more formidable.

Tezuka had unlocked one of the three gates of the State of Selflessness: the Limit of Thousand Forgings!

Upon unlocking this gate, one can concentrate all their body's strength into a single part, doubling the power of their shots. It allows them to return all of an opponent's shots with double the destructive force, spin, and trajectory!

This was no longer simply tennis; it was another level entirely!

Neither the Limit of Thousand Forgings nor the Limit of Seamlessness were realms that ordinary people could reach.

On the court...

Tezuka's gaze sharpened, his aura rising once more!

Seeing the change in Tezuka's eyes, the Seigaku members began to exclaim.

"Tezuka's going all out now!" Fuji's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Go, Captain Tezuka!" Momoshiro raised his hands, his expression excited.

"Tezuka, Seigaku..." Ryuzaki Sumire looked at Tezuka on the court, not finishing her sentence.

Tezuka tossed the ball upwards with his right hand, which was enveloped in white light. Then, Tezuka's left hand swung his arm with a sudden force. His racket left a trail of afterimages as it struck the ball with lightning speed!

Boom!

A crisp striking sound echoed, and the tennis ball immediately shot out with a powerful gust of air!

No one could see the trajectory of the ball!

Only one thought remained in everyone's minds:

How is that possible? So fast?

Atobe watched Tezuka's serve, his eyes changing color again! Then they contracted sharply.

"Did the tennis ball disappear?"

The surrounding spectators couldn't see the ball again!

The tennis ball transformed into an extremely fast streak of light, reaching Chiba Yun Chuan's court in the blink of an eye before landing on the court.

Thump!

It made quite a sound!

And kicked up a lot of dust!

Although all the spectators couldn't see it, Chiba Yun Chuan was an exception!

He pushed off with his right foot, and his entire body vanished, only to reappear in front of the tennis ball. As the ball flew up, he swung his racket towards it!

"Tezuka, your serve is still too disappointing! Because your serve is just too slow!"

After saying that, Chiba Yun Chuan's racket in his right hand exerted a sudden force.

Thump!

After a resounding noise, Tezuka's serve was hit back!

"How did he get to the ball's landing spot! It was like he disappeared! Just like Atobe earlier!" Kikumaru's voice was filled with surprised confusion.

"He actually hit it back!" Momoshiro's voice was filled with disbelief!

Ryuzaki Sumire also hadn't expected Chiba Yun Chuan to return Tezuka's serve so easily. How was that possible?

She knew exactly how powerful a serve with the Limit of Thousand Forgings was!

She hadn't expected this!

At this moment, Tezuka looked at the returning tennis ball, his body moving slightly, and struck the rapidly approaching ball again!

Thump!

A huge sound echoed once more. The tennis ball, with doubled power, spin, and speed, flew towards Chiba Yun Chuan's court.

During this process, it even made a sound of friction with the air!

The tennis ball reached Chiba Yun Chuan's side of the court almost instantaneously!

At this point, even Atobe could only vaguely discern the trajectory of the ball!

Because the tennis ball was just too fast!

Chiba Yun Chuan felt a strong wind blowing towards him, but the tennis ball was still too slow in his eyes!

"Tezuka, is this a return imbued with the Limit of Thousand Forgings?"

After speaking, he swung his arm, precisely hitting the tennis ball with his racket! Then, with a burst of strength, BOOM!

The tennis ball was easily returned by Chiba Yun Chuan!

"I knew it, Captain is so strong!" Chotaro was no longer worried! Because Chiba Yun Chuan was strong!

"Why are you all so surprised? Don't you know Chiba's strength?

Watch the match properly," Atobe said slowly, only then.

"Yes."

All of Hyotei's team members began to watch the match seriously!

Watching Chiba Yun Chuan return Tezuka's doubled tennis ball imbued with Hundred Refinements, Ryuzaki Sumire's shock deepened, along with her curiosity!

Who exactly was Chiba Yun Chuan!

This was a return imbued with the Limit of Thousand Forgings, its power doubling with each use, yet Chiba Yun Chuan returned it with such ease.

At this moment, Tezuka looked at the tennis ball flying back towards him, intending to return it with a doubled Hundred Refinements!

He stepped to the left, then swung his racket at the incoming ball!

The moment the ball and racket made contact, he felt something was wrong, and his expression changed instantly!

He felt an immense force transmitted through his arm, giving him the urge to let go of the racket!

The tennis ball on the racket was still spinning violently, making a swish swish swish sound.

"I will not admit defeat!"

After speaking, Tezuka gripped the racket with his right hand and let out a low yell!

"Ah!"

White light flashed intensely around Tezuka. It was clear that this was his strongest shot, activating the Limit of Thousand Forgings.

The tennis ball was doubled back again!

The tennis ball was already emitting a burnt smell from friction with the air, carrying wisps of mist as it shot towards Chiba Yun Chuan like lightning!

The faint smoke was not very noticeable in the air, but the impact was immense.

"What kind of return is this?"

"The tennis ball is smoking!"

"So strong!"

"Alright, he won't be able to return this one, right?" Momoshiro shouted happily after Tezuka returned the ball again.

"Tezuka is truly strong," Fuji said with a smile.

Meanwhile, at a corner of the court, Tachibana An was gripping her clothes, her expression very tense, her gaze filled with worry as she watched Chiba Yun Chuan on the court.

"What should I do, can he catch it! Come on!"

At the same time, she was silently praying for Chiba Yun Chuan.

Watching the tennis ball flying towards him with a sonic boom and carrying a wave of air, Chiba Yun Chuan remained completely unfazed.

"Tezuka, let me show you my other limit too!"

After saying that, Chiba Yun Chuan's body began to emit white light!

He looked like a god clad in white armor!
