Five Star
The tennis ball, after hitting the wall and bouncing off, landed right in front of the man in sunglasses, as if he had expected it.
As the tennis ball landed in front of him, the man in sunglasses aimed at Atobe of the court and hit it back.
However, unlike a typical counterattack, the man in sunglasses aimed at the wall next to Atobe's half of the court.
The powerful tennis ball bounced off the wall repeatedly, and after bouncing twice, it flew directly towards the back of Atobe's head.
The alert Atobe noticed in time, and in his haste, he turned around and swung his racket with the movement.
He actually hit the rebounding tennis ball and returned it, but the height was a little off, so it became a net touch.
"I see, a competition where the ball never goes out of bounds? Looks like it'll continue until one side falls."
Although he was just a small fry, it did ignite a bit of my fighting spirit.
After nearly being hit on the Atobe, Atobe realized what the man in sunglasses was up to.
He immediately looked at the man in sunglasses with an emperor-like gaze, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.
While the other five were dealing with their opponents, Tezuka and Shiraishi had already arrived at the castle's corridor.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of them, the two exchanged a glance, and then each pushed open half of the door.
"I never expected to run into you guys again."
What appeared in their field of vision at that moment were two men, one wearing a hat and the other with medium-length hair.
"You're the ones who attacked us last night, aren't you? Since there are two of you, let's settle the score for last night with this doubles match."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Tezuka and Shiraishi immediately put down their tennis bags.
When the two members of the Clark Tennis Club heard that Tezuka and Shiraishi were really taking the initiative, they didn't waste any words and started moving as well.
Bang!
"Clark Peter won this round, hahaha..."
On Horio's side, the match between Lin Xiu and Peter continues.
After Lin Xiu won the match for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Peter increasingly excited.
"It's not over yet... The only one who can defeat me is Keith."
"Tch, your attitude is so disgusting it makes me want to vomit, Xiu, I've already surpassed you!"
Lin Xiu struggled to his feet again; Peter's arrogance did not cause Lin Xiu any psychological fluctuation.
Then, the tennis ball in Lin Xiu's hand flashed briefly before he hit it away.
"Useless Xiu! Your Gemini is no longer of any use to me!"
Peter that Lin Xiu still refused to give up using the Gemini, Peter gathered energy in his left hand once more.
After throwing the ball into his racket, Peter hit the incoming tennis ball.
But at that moment, the Gemini, which should have only one virtual sphere, suddenly had three more virtual spheres.
With five balls in total, including a real tennis ball, Peter, who had been fully prepared, was at a loss.
Four virtual balls hit him without missing a single one, and finally, a real tennis ball knocked Peter's racket away.
When did I ever say you had surpassed me?
"Wh... what!? I... I was just too careless! If I used my true strength, someone like you..."
Peter was clearly frightened by Lin Xiu's Five Star, and even his tone of voice was completely different from before.
"You're at most Triple Star, yet you dare to show your true strength? At least try to hide the fear on your face."
Seeing this, Horio couldn't stand it any longer. After Lin Xiu and Peter been competing for so long, Horio had a general understanding of how to use Qi.
After activating his Radiant Talent, Peter's Horio became clearly visible; at this point, he could only manage to create two virtual spheres.
Lin Xiu, despite his battered and bruised body, was still able to launch four virtual balls.
The difference in their abilities is immediately apparent when compared.
Hearing Horio's words, Peter wanted to say something, but Keith's hand had already reached out from behind him.
With a casual flick backward, Peter's body fell backward.
"Keith..."
Peter's tone was full of disbelief, but Keith didn't even glance at him.
"Finally, I can have a match with you."
"Then give it a try."
Lin Xiu, clutching his right shoulder which Peter had repeatedly attacked, said to Keith.
Keith remained expressionless, his tone completely flat.
"Oh? So you were hiding so much from that night."
Horio's curiosity deepened as he watched Keith walk toward the finish line.
"Lin Xiu, leave the rest to me. You can't fight anymore."
"It's alright, Horio. This is something I have to do. I have to defeat him no matter what."
Despite Horio's attempts to stop him, Lin Xiu remained stubborn, much to Horio's frustration.
Horio did this because Lin Xiu's shoulders could no longer support him to continue fighting.
"Then be careful, your friend seems to be hiding some formidable trump card."
Hearing Horio's reminder, Lin Xiu paused for a moment, then began to think about what Keith's killing move was.
"Could it be!? Keith... you've already done it...?"
Lin Xiu looked at Keith incredulously, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Keith remained calm and composed, while Lin Xiu, filled with doubt, tossed the ball into the air.
Just as Lin Xiu was about to swing his racket, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Then the racket's force suddenly decreased, and although it touched the tennis ball, the ball didn't even get over the net.
You can't touch me anymore.
Keith also noticed that Lin Xiu was acting strangely, as he didn't even make any move to receive the ball.
"Stop it, Lin Xiu, if you keep hitting him you'll ruin your shoulder."
"No! I want to continue..."
Even though his shoulder was completely exhausted, Lin Xiu stubbornly continued serving.
The distance the tennis ball traveled on the racket decreased until finally Lin Xiu could no longer lift his arm.
"You think you can defeat me with this? You're really delusional, Xiu."
After Lin Xiu had completely lost his fighting ability, Keith finally started moving, and Horio also stepped onto the court.
"Horio, what are you trying to do..."
"You need to rest. You're in no condition to push yourself any harder."
Seeing that Lin Xiu was still unwilling to give up, Horio did not give him any more chances.
"I'll take over from now on."
After saying that, Horio took the racket from Lin Xiu's hand and helped him off the court.
Keith's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, as if he had remembered something.
"Come on, let's continue the game we didn't finish yesterday."
Let me see your aura, and your most powerful move.
"Hmph, fine, I hope you can make me give it my all."
Horio's appearance ignited Keith's fighting spirit, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"You little brat, you'll regret this."
"Stop talking nonsense and serve."
Enraged again by Horio's words, Keith took out a regular tennis ball and hit it.
