Looking at Tezuka opposite him, his face exhausted and covered in sweat, Chiba Yun Chuan showed no mercy. This was out of respect for Tezuka, and also a point of pride for Chiba Yun Chuan!
"Tezuka, I look forward to our next match, but I'm taking this victory!"
Seeing Chiba Yun Chuan's relaxed demeanor, a stark contrast to his own state, Tezuka didn't say much.
Instead, he focused and prepared to serve!
Though Tezuka's body was tired, his eyes remained sharp!
Suddenly, Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes flashed, and his eyeballs turned purple!
Looking extremely eerie.
"Tezuka, you still want to win a point like this? Then I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as Chiba Yun Chuan finished speaking, Tezuka felt as if something was interfering with him, causing him to momentarily lose focus!
But he quickly recovered!
Shaking his head, Tezuka tossed the tennis ball high into the air with his right hand, his entire body emitting a white glow!
Then, with his left arm holding the racket, he swung it from high to low. When the tennis ball reached a certain point!
Limit of Thousand Forgings!
The racket, glowing white, struck the tennis ball precisely!
Bang!
Upon being hit, the tennis ball began to spin at extreme speed!
Then, it flew towards Chiba Yun Chuan's court with a powerful air current!
It emitted sonic booms and trails of smoke as it flew.
Zero Style Serve!
After crossing the net, the tennis ball immediately dropped towards the ground!
Chiba Yun Chuan appeared before the ball on the other side and swung his racket rapidly before it could land!
But the ball was spinning too fast; he couldn't eliminate it at all!
After the tennis ball landed, it rolled straight back towards the net along the ground.
Seeing this, Tezuka finally breathed a sigh of relief!
He had finally won a point!
At this moment, the tennis ball was in Tezuka's half of the court.
However, he wasn't happy. He took a deep breath and slowly walked to the net.
Looking at Chiba Yun Chuan, who was also slowly approaching the net, he said:
"I lost. You're very strong. You're the strongest middle schooler I've ever seen! I hope we can have another chance to compete next time! Also, thank you!"
Tezuka hadn't noticed anything unusual at first, but as the match progressed, he realized something was wrong!
Chiba Yun Chuan's strength shouldn't have allowed him to last this long against Tezuka. Tezuka couldn't think of any reason why!
But Tezuka knew Chiba Yun Chuan had been using moves he himself had used. Watching Chiba Yun Chuan execute his own techniques, Tezuka discovered many of his own shortcomings, which benefited him greatly!
Once he digested everything from today, Tezuka believed his strength would rise to another level!
Therefore, Tezuka's gaze was filled with seriousness and gratitude!
At this moment, the purple hue in Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes faded!
However, he was still surprised that Tezuka hadn't fallen into his illusion!
"You don't need to thank me. Are you interested in coming to Hyotei?"
Chiba Yun Chuan directly tried to poach him in front of everyone, but only the two of them could hear.
Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan's words, Tezuka glanced back towards the Seigaku spectators' stands. After a few seconds of staring, Tezuka slowly said:
"Thank you for the invitation. I am Seigaku's Captain!"
After saying this, he shook hands with Chiba Yun Chuan and turned to leave!
"Tezuka, I'm really looking forward to our next match. I hope you won't be able to win a single point then!"
Hearing this, Tezuka's steps paused, and then he continued to walk off the court!
Watching Tezuka's retreating back, Chiba Yun Chuan also turned and walked towards the Hyotei team!
"Game, Hyotei. Score 6-0. The match is over. Hyotei wins 3-1!"
With the referee's call, this singles match two ended with a score of 6-0!
Simultaneously, Hyotei concluded this semifinal match with a three-to-one lead!
They advanced to the finals of the prefectural tournament, but it was still uncertain who they would face, as the other two teams had yet to decide a winner.
The spectators, now aware of the match structure, began discussing again.
"Hyotei's Captain is too strong!"
"They won, no suspense at all."
"Yagami is truly amazing!"
At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan had already walked over to the Hyotei team.
"Captain, you're so amazing!"
"Captain, you're too strong, we're in the finals!"
"The next match will be too easy!"
Chotaro and the others spoke with excitement and respect, respect for the strong!
"Chiba, I didn't expect you to hide so much. What else haven't you shown?" Atobe was curious about Chiba Yun Chuan's strength; he always was!
Hearing this, Chiba Yun Chuan replied, "I told you, I am a god."
"Tch."
In the Seigaku team...
Tezuka had already returned to the team.
Seigaku was now like defeated soldiers, each one like a wilted eggplant, their eyes dim and lifeless!
Seeing his teammates' expressions, Tezuka shouted, "So what if we lost one match? Have you lost your fighting spirit? When we get back, everyone will run fifty laps around the track!
We lost this time, but that doesn't mean we'll lose next time!
The opponents are very strong, but as long as we work hard, we can defeat them one day!"
Hearing Tezuka's words, the Seigaku members silently clenched their fists!
Their eyes slowly regained their brilliance!
Indeed, all three matches Seigaku lost today were swept 6-0.
The one game they won was only because a Hyotei player was injured.
Otherwise, the match would have already ended.
"Tezuka is right, we'll train hard when we get back and strive to enter the National Tournament!"
Ryuzaki Sumire also shouted loudly.
The Seigaku members responded, "Understood, Coach!"
"Inoue-senpai, Seigaku really has fighting spirit. But Hyotei is indeed very strong!
No wonder you think so highly of them!"
Inoue Mamoru looked at the Hyotei players with admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, Seigaku's Coach Ryuzaki Sumire definitely has coaching ability. But Hyotei's overall strength is too great!
Seigaku still has a long way to go to defeat them!"
"That's right."
At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan was preparing to lead his team away. Suddenly, he saw a petite figure in the corner.
So he turned and said to the Hyotei members, "Atobe, you take them back first!
I have something to do, so I won't be going with you."
After speaking, Chiba Yun Chuan slung his tennis bag over his shoulder and walked out alone.
"You rascal," Atobe said, then led the Hyotei players away.
"Atobe, what's up with Chiba? He's not coming with us?"
Oshitari looked at Chiba Yun Chuan, who was leaving alone, with great curiosity.
"The Captain probably has something to do, but the Captain was really strong today!"
Chotaro was still reveling in the joy of Chiba Yun Chuan defeating Tezuka.
"Let's go, that guy Chiba told me to take you guys out to relax!" Atobe said lightly as he walked ahead.
"Really, that's great! Captain is so kind!"
No one expected the match between Hyotei and Seigaku to end so quickly.
