Limitless Scattered Flowers Reappears
Horio, holding the ball, emitted Genesis Aura. He infused the tennis ball with this Genesis Aura and then gripped it tightly.
Then he tossed the tennis ball into the sky, and as Horio released the tightly clenched ball, the Genesis Aura within it began to erupt.
As the ball was tossed into the air, it began to vibrate irregularly and slightly. When the tennis ball reached its highest point, Horio swung his racket.
The tennis ball flew towards Sanada; Horio only used half his strength, so the ball's speed wasn't fast.
However, for Horio's serve, there is no requirement for ball speed.
Because you have to wait for the tennis ball to bounce before you can return a serve, even the most ordinary serve.
Sanada watched the tennis ball, which wasn't moving very fast, and quickly moved to the landing position, waiting for the ball to bounce.
However, what happened next thwarted Sanada's plans.
The tennis ball did bounce after landing, but after bouncing, eight balls flew out in all directions simultaneously.
"Seigaku score, 15:0"
"Eight balls... there were actually eight balls after the serve bounced."
"This is still an unfinished product."
The Rikkai Dai clearly surprised to see the tennis ball scatter in all directions; they hadn't expected such a skill.
"Katsuro... that guy looks so familiar."
"Yeah, I also think it looks familiar. It feels like Horio played it before."
Katsuo Katsuro watched Horio's posture and the ball's bounce from the sidelines, his hazy memories slowly resurfaced.
"So, this is the first real skill I've ever used in my tennis career, called 'Limitless Scattered Flowers'."
"That's right, it's the Limitless Scattered Flowers, I remember now."
"Me too. So Horio hasn't used it since that incident because he's been working on perfecting it."
Upon hearing the name "Limitless Scattered Flowers" uttered upon landing, Katsuro Katsuo's memories were immediately pulled back to the scene of Horio and Ryoma's first match.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two talking about? Did Horio use that skill before?"
"Yeah, yeah, you'd better confess honestly, or your Senpai will have to give you special treatment."
Hearing what the two were saying, Seigaku and the others immediately became interested.
"It's Kikumaru- Senpai! That was Horio's first match against Ryoma at the beginning of the semester, but Horio's Limitless Scattered Flowers back then was nowhere near as good as it is now."
Rather than saying it hadn't reached that level, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a prototype. At that time, Horio said that the Limitless Scattered Flowers was not yet complete.
"To think he's already reached this level, Horio is truly amazing."
"That's right, the current Limitless Scattered Flowers is worlds apart from that time."
Furthermore, Horio just mentioned that the current version of Limitless Scattered Flowers is still incomplete. If it were the complete Limitless Scattered Flowers, how powerful would it be?
"As expected of our Seigaku's first-year students, they're really amazing. But, how did the match between Horio and Echizen go?"
Kikumaru clearly grasped the key point in Katsuro 'Katsuo words and immediately asked about the result of the match.
"Uh... in that match, Ryoma lost to Horio in a very embarrassing way, and it was 6-0."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that little guy would get a zero from Horio since the beginning of the school year. No wonder he's so eager to compete with Horio; he probably wants to avenge his defeat."
"Now I've got another opportunity to Echizen. He hasn't shown up yet; let's see how I teach him a lesson."
Hearing that Ryoma had been slammed shut out by Horio, the Seigaku members were somewhat gloating.
On the court, Horio once again hit the Limitless Scattered Flowers attack.
The same scene appears, except the ball lands in a different position than the previous ball.
Sanada had originally planned to exploit a loophole, abandoned that idea after discovering it and had to find another way.
"If you could see through the Limitless Scattered Flowers so easily, it wouldn't have been worth the time I spent perfecting it."
"Seigaku's score: 40-0"
"Seigaku scores, score 5-1"
"It's the last game, Sanada. He'll definitely use that Weak Water again!"
Yanagi Renji, watching from the sidelines, was getting anxious. If they lost this round, the Kanto Tournament championship would belong to Seigaku.
Upon hearing Yanagi Renji's voice, a resolute glint appeared in Sanada's eyes.
Then toss the ball up, and the wind starts.
After a few sets, Sanada once again found his rhythm, Horio Inch Step an attack, returning the tennis ball to its original position.
Then Sanada used lightning, slashing his racket down at the tennis ball.
The tennis ball accelerated again, and the crowd outside the court could no longer keep up with its speed.
In the fourth inning, Sanada scored a point against Horio with a lightning bolt, but that was only because Horio didn't want to take the hit.
At this moment, Horio faced Sanada's lightning again and showed no mercy.
A purple aura appeared on his right hand, Hundred Refinements Self-Acquired was activated.
With double the power in his counterattack, Rai returned to most of Rikkai Dai's territory.
At this moment, Sanada faced the lightning that had given him double the power, but he was not panicked, standing like an unmoving mountain.
Don't even think about breaking through my defenses!
With a loud shout, Sanada returned the ball.
Seeing Sanada's reckless actions, Horio, his right hand wreathed in purple energy, unleashed a Shatter attack.
The Shatter, which is no different from a normal return, is simply impossible to defend against.
"Ah!"
Feeling the tearing pain in his arm, Sanada roared throughout the court, and after holding on for a few seconds, his racket was finally knocked away.
"Seigaku score, 15:0"
Clutching his arm, Sanada gritted his teeth, picked up his racket, and walked towards the baseline.
At this moment, everyone watching from the sidelines was terrified by Sanada's reckless fighting style, including Seigaku and the others.
Feeling better in his arm, Sanada served again.
This time the wind was stronger, but for Horio...
No matter how much force you increase, it's useless; you can still hit it back.
However, Sanada did not hit the ball directly with a thunderous strike; instead, he returned it in the usual manner.
"The spin is weakening, oh... is that so?"
Horio sensed that Sanada's return shot had lost its previous spin, and knew that Sanada was guarding against his Shatter and Weak Water.
However, Horio didn't take it to heart. His Shatter and Weak Water were techniques he had carefully designed and practiced diligently to learn.
How could it be blocked or cracked so easily? He realized that Sanada was deliberately keeping an eye on him.
Then grant his wish and let him know that his wishful thinking has backfired.
A purple aura appeared, but Horio did not grant it the dual power of the Hundred Refinements Self-Acquired.
Sanada played with extreme Shatter, even when facing Horio.
However, once the Shatter occurred, you could immediately sense that something was wrong.
"Seigaku's score: 30-0"
"That must have been your Lin just now. Being able to eliminate the ball's spin is indeed a good skill, but my ball has more than just spin."
