Unconscious Muga no Kyochi!

"4-3? Yukimura has the upper hand."

Sanada, having just finished his match, immediately rushed to the B group finals.

As soon as he arrived, he saw the score on the display board.

4-3, Yukimura was leading.

"Yukimura's sweating..."

Sanada's expression changed slightly.

Even he couldn't achieve such a terrifying amount of sweat. Furthermore, on the A group court, Sanada had successfully entered Muga no Kyochi after breaking through his own limits.

At this moment, he could also sense the faint aura emanating from Yukimura.

So his good friend had entered Muga no Kyochi long before.

"Muga no Kyochi, so he's mastered this power too."

Tezuka arrived late, carrying his tennis bag, and quietly watched the match.

From the first moment Tezuka saw Yukimura, he felt the faint "aura" emanating from him, which seemed the same as the "aura" he himself possessed.

From that moment on, Tezuka knew the other person had also entered Muga no Kyochi.

As for this match, even with Muga no Kyochi activated, Tezuka believed his good friend Kamikawa would win.

From the first moment he saw Kamikawa until they practiced tennis together, Kamikawa always gave him a subtle feeling; he couldn't discern how strong his childhood friend truly was.

"Deprivation of Touch?"

Kamikawa stood at the baseline, squeezing the tennis racket in his palm.

His sense of touch had not yet recovered.

But it didn't matter. Kamikawa had already adapted.

As long as his other senses weren't deprived, it was time to end this match.

"Yukimura."

Kamikawa held the tennis ball in his left hand, looked up, smiled, and said, "It's about time we end this match."

Huh?!

Yukimura was startled. He looked at his opponent, and his powerful mental energy also sensed that Kamikawa's aura felt off at this moment.

"Hoo..."

The next moment.

Kamikawa tossed the ball, raised his hand, jumped, and swung his racket.

The entire motion was fluid and natural. In the previous rally, Kamikawa hadn't had this accuracy when returning the ball.

Bang!!

The tennis ball landed in the inverted triangle area of the baseline.

The power, speed, and control were all perfect.

It was as if he wasn't affected by the Deprivation of Touch at all. Or rather, Kamikawa had adapted to his body being deprived of touch during the previous rally and could freely wield his strength to execute the most perfect serve.

"So fast~"

Yukimura was shocked. He quickened his pace to move forward, caught the ball, and with a flick of his wrist, sent it to the dead corner on the left.

The moment the ball hit the racket, Kamikawa had already predicted its landing spot and reached the bottom line on his left foot in advance, returning the shot with a natural swing.

Bang!!

Suddenly, Yukimura charged forward, his steps quickening.

The tennis ball flew over the center net like a maple leaf.

Yukimura rushed forward and lunged, but the tennis ball, which had been heading towards him, deflected to the left in a bizarre way. With just a gentle bounce, it rolled to a stop beside Yukimura's wrist.

"15-0!"

"What was that just now?"

"A slice shot? How could it bounce so low?"

"A slice shot that drops like a maple leaf after crossing the center line, and it bounced to the left. Wasn't his sense of touch deprived? How could he execute such an amazing tennis skill?!"

"Yeah! This... how is this possible!!"

The many tennis enthusiasts outside the court gasped in disbelief.

"This is..."

Tezuka's eyes sharpened. This type of slice shot was also the first time he had seen Kamikawa use it. The slicing motion was very similar to a regular flat shot. If it were another player, they might not have been able to react to this slice shot.

Yukimura had only judged based on Kamikawa's footwork, but he still couldn't return the ball.

He couldn't even touch the tennis ball, and even if he did, at that angle, he could at most lob the ball high. The slice shot was positioned too close to the center net.

Tezuka was still very curious about when Kamikawa had learned it. Recently, he had also been researching a unique slice shot, but that kind of slice shot placed a great burden on the arm.

With his current physical condition, he couldn't even execute it a few times.

Kamikawa's slice shot, however, had invisibly given him some inspiration. Tezuka had a premonition that after this JR Tournament, he would enter a brand new realm.

"Oh no, Yukimura's stamina..."

As Yukimura's tennis coach, Sakata knew better than anyone that Yukimura's current sweating and physical condition had reached its limit.

At the same time, the prolonged Annihilation of the Five Senses had only deprived Kamikawa of his sense of touch.

And from his outward appearance, Kamikawa had already adapted to the state of having his sense of touch deprived.

Coupled with those high-quality slice shots.

The situation had once again become unbalanced.

Bang!!

It was that strange slice shot again, this time the bounce angle was a few millimeters lower than before.

"30-0!"

Bang!!

"40-0!"

Bang!!

"Game! Kamikawa, 4-4."

In the end, Yukimura couldn't even react to ordinary flat shots. Kamikawa's slice shot was extremely skillful, and at that moment, it was difficult to tell if he was hitting a reverse cross-court flat shot or a slice shot.

Yukimura, tired from running, was continuously expending stamina. The Muga no Kyochi showed no signs of activating, and even his mental strength showed signs of temporary depletion.

Kamikawa also sensed this. He gripped his racket, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Just as I thought."

Kamikawa looked at Yukimura on the opposite court, who was panting heavily. "His Annihilation of the Five Senses is linked to his mental strength. Against players with strong mental strength, Annihilation of the Five Senses is difficult to utilize."

"This is also why he activated Muga no Kyochi mid-game..."

"His eyes... he's regained his sense of touch?!"

Yukimura secretly glanced at Kamikawa. He definitely wasn't mistaken. Kamikawa had really recovered his sense of touch, in just one rally.

"So, compared to technique, power, and speed, his mental strength is even stronger?!"

Yukimura's greatest pride was his extraordinary mental strength.

It was precisely because of this mental strength that he could master techniques like Annihilation of the Five Senses.

But now...

The mental strength displayed by Kamikawa was no less than his own, which also meant that his Annihilation of the Five Senses did not have much effect on him. Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly wishful thinking for him to win this match.

On the court.

It was now Yukimura's service game.

The match continued.

Bang!!

"0-15!"

Bang!!

"0-30!!"

"Game, Kamikawa, 5-4!!"

It was still thanks to those absolutely perfect slice shots. In this round, the bounce angle of the tennis ball was even lower.

"Hoo... Hoo hoo..."

Yukimura greedily inhaled fresh air, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

He was still unwilling. The score had reached 5-4, and he was only one shot away from losing this round.

Even though he knew the trajectory of the slice shot's landing point, his body couldn't react in time.

Stamina was ultimately Yukimura's hard flaw at this moment.

Am I really going to lose?!

Yukimura's vision began to blur, and his mental strength also began to become scarce.

A milky white vortex swirled around him again, and his pupils were once again dyed with a sapphire blue light. At this moment, Yukimura felt exceptionally light.

"He unconsciously activated Muga no Kyochi."

Kamikawa saw through Yukimura's current state at a glance. Compared to the Muga no Kyochi before, the current Yukimura was clearly relying on his willpower to continue the match.
