The Stronger Tokugawa

Tokugawa seemed to suddenly understand something, and after regaining his senses, he immediately went to the bottom line.

"Oh? Looks like you've come up with another solution."

Seeing Tokugawa's confident demeanor, Horio was very satisfied.

Furthermore, Horio was also eager to know what Tokugawa had come up with, so after Tokugawa hit the serve, the Triple Star reappeared.

This time Horio Tokugawa the ball, preparing to block it.

The tennis ball flew to the net, and Tokugawa was already in position to return it.

Surprisingly, unlike before when the virtual ball only appeared after the tennis ball landed, this time it appeared as soon as it reached the net.

"I knew it, but this is perfect, it's exactly what I wanted."

Tokugawa seemed to have anticipated the changes in the tennis game, and then his figure suddenly multiplied into two.

"So what if they're two virtual spheres? As long as they're the same, they're no different from ordinary spheres!"

The two figures moved seamlessly together, eliminating the two virtual spheres that appeared.

After the virtual ball disappeared, the real tennis ball flew unimpeded toward Tokugawa's half of the court.

After the tennis ball bounced off the ground, Tokugawa, who should have been at the net, had already arrived at the point where the ball landed.

The racket was swung, and a real tennis ball was hit. After cracking the Gemini, Tokugawa quickly cracked the Triple Star as well.

"It seems you can still solve this even if I increase the number of virtual balls. But I'm quite curious to see just how far you can go."

First, eliminate the virtual ball that appears at the net before the real tennis ball hits the ground, and then return the real ball after it bounces off the ground.

This approach undoubtedly solves the problem of more virtual balls appearing at the same time. Although Horio agrees with Tokugawa's approach, he still wants to test Tokugawa's limits.

In addition to the Triple Star, Horio added a virtual sphere.

Tokugawa returned to the net, and three figures appeared simultaneously, knocking away three virtual balls before returning to the landing point of the real tennis ball to successfully return the shot.

Tokugawa successfully countered the Four Stars, and then Horio played the Five Star, but Tokugawa remained unfazed.

It wasn't until there were seven virtual spheres that Tokugawa began to feel overwhelmed.

Bang!

After Tokugawa dealt with the seven virtual balls in front of the net, by the time he returned to the landing point of the tennis ball, the ball had already bounced far away.

"As expected of the U-17's Order Maintainer, they've done an excellent job to this extent."

"But Horio's move is truly amazing. No wonder Byodoin likes to travel all over the world; there are just too many unknown things in this world."

Inside the control room, Kurobe and Saito were no longer paying attention to the match between Oni and Kintaro; Horio and Tokugawa had completely drawn their attention to it.

"I didn't expect you to last until Star Eight. You're much better than Clark and his gang."

On the field, Tokugawa's performance surprised Horio.

Tokugawa's strength is now at least on par with Lin Xiu's, or even surpasses Lin Xiu's.

"Tokugawa, do you know what your problem is?"

Before Horio's Tokugawa, he was met with another question from Horio.

And since it concerned him, Tokugawa couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"It's okay, let's continue, it's not over yet."

Seeing that Tokugawa still didn't understand what was going on, Horio stopped talking.

Hachiko hit the ball again. Although he hadn't been able to return the previous shot, Tokugawa persisted and came to the net.

Seven figures appeared simultaneously, and after dealing with the virtual ball Tokugawa quickened his pace to return to the backcourt.

Bang!

Although it did reach the ball's landing point faster than the previous shot, Tokugawa was still a step too slow.

However, this gave Tokugawa hope. By the time Horio hit the Eight Stars again, Tokugawa had barely managed to return the tennis ball.

By the time the fifth ball appeared in the Eight Stars formation, Tokugawa had already adapted to its intensity.

Do you know how else this move can be used?

The Eight Stars have already been cracked by Tokugawa, and Horio has no intention of adding any more virtual spheres.

After saying a sentence to Tokugawa, Horio channeled the condensed energy into his racket with his left hand and then suddenly expanded it.

The ball in his hand is tossed into the air, Universal Gravitation strikes it.

A large mass of purple energy enveloped the tennis ball, Tokugawa immediately sensed something was wrong.

Faced with the Universal Gravitation, Tokugawa's Black Hole is ready.

However, after the rebound, the air enveloping the tennis ball suddenly compresses inside the ball and then explodes violently in the air, increasing the speed of the tennis ball's flight.

Before Tokugawa could even unleash his Black Hole, the tennis ball had already passed Tokugawa.

"They actually... used air to accelerate the ball..."

Tokugawa was also stunned by the Universal Gravitation. At the same time, Irie, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, and Kurobe and Saito in the control room were also dumbfounded.

"This move is called Universal Gravitation, the signature move of the Clark Tennis Club leader. He originally intended it for attacking people, but I modified it."

Horio did not choose to hide the truth about Universal Gravitation.

Horio chose to use the Gemini in front of Tokugawa with the aim of teaching Tokugawa how to use it.

"Watch out, this is coming next."

After reminding Tokugawa of something, Horio unleashed Universal Gravitation once again.

Having already learned his lesson from Universal Gravitation, Tokugawa swung Tokugawa racket prematurely after the purple ball was compressed into the tennis ball, creating Black Hole.

The tennis ball, propelled by explosive speed, struck the Black Hole and was immediately intercepted. Tokugawa, having spun around once, successfully returned to the Universal Gravitation.

"Tokugawa has become even more skilled at Black Hole; his progress has been quite noticeable lately."

"According to his Coach staff, he has only slightly increased his training volume recently, but the results have been unexpected."

"It seems he was provoked by something. His willpower became very strong after being defeated by Byodoin. I guess he was provoked by Horio again last time."

Inside the control room, Kurobe and Saito looked at the data showing Tokugawa's growth on the computer screen, both wearing faint smiles.

"Your Black Hole is even more powerful now, but how long can it withstand the onslaught of Light Ball Shot?"

After Tokugawa returned the Universal Gravitation, Horio swung his racket.

The racket struck the tennis ball at its center, and the tennis ball suddenly turned purple.

Horio's Light Ball Shot towards Tokugawa, and Tokugawa's memories of being dominated resurface.

"Hmph, I can't lose the same ball twice!"

The resurfacing memories did not instill fear in Tokugawa, but rather a determination to win the game back.

The Black Hole was unleashed again, and a large chunk of the space in front of Tokugawa was slashed away.

After intercepting Universal Gravitation, the Black Hole then intercepted the Light Ball Shot.

The power on the ball was continuously swallowed by the Black Hole. After Tokugawa's body spun around and returned, the power of his Light Ball Shot had been reduced to a level where he could return it.

As Tokugawa swung his racket again, Horio's Light Ball Shot was returned.
