#140 - Fourteen Balls
Tap, tap, tap. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.
Byodoin Houou's figure had already appeared on the front court.
“That move is… . . ”
Byodoin Houou held his racket in front of him with a backhand, aimed at the incoming tennis ball, and sliced at it!
The moment the tennis ball touched the racket, Byodoin Houou pushed the racket, and the tennis ball suddenly accelerated and spun on the strings.
Swish! A golden light suddenly lit up, and the tennis ball quickly flew into the high sky.
When the tennis ball reached a certain height, it suddenly fell from above, a golden light shining, the air was torn apart, and it heavily landed in Yukimura's back court.
“15:0!”
Byodoin Houou glanced at Yukimura and said lightly.
Yukimura helplessly shrugged his shoulders and turned to return to the baseline.
“It seems this match—will be very exciting.”
Shujii Taneshima looked at Byodoin Houou and Yukimura and said.
“That's for sure.”
Kazuya Irie smiled and said.
The American Pirate and the Egyptian Phoenix both had world-class skills, and Byodoin Houou didn't intend to hold back in the slightest from the first ball.
“In that case, I have to score too!”
Yukimura chuckled lightly, and a glint appeared in his amethyst-like eyes.
“Score? That depends on whether you can score!”
Byodoin Houou narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Senior, although it's a practice match, I don't intend to lose like this.”
After hearing Byodoin Houou's words, Yukimura smiled slightly, his tone still gentle.
“This guy— . . ”
Juujirou Oni, Shujii Taneshima, Kazuya Irie, Tsukimitsu Ochi and others couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle after hearing Yukimura's words.
The rest of the First String were also slightly stunned after hearing Yukimura's words.
Is this the confidence of the Child of God?
Although he is a world-class player, Byodoin Houou is also a world-class player!
And he is known as the Overlord in the world!
One is the Child of God, and the other is the Overlord.
To what extent will the match between these two people go?
At this time, in the court.
Byodoin Houou flicked his wrist, instantly throwing ten tennis balls high into the air.
“Ten-Ball Barrage—”
Seeing Byodoin Houou's movements, the First String's expressions changed.
Although the Ten-Ball Barrage is not very difficult, the First String members can all do it.
Whoosh! The moment the tennis balls flew into the air, Byodoin Houou swung his racket.
At the same time, nine afterimages, as if substantial, flashed around him, instantly hitting the tennis balls in different directions and trajectories.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Ten consecutive hitting sounds rang out.
In an instant, ten tennis balls flew out quickly.
Immediately after, behind Byodoin Houou, a cloud of dust billowed up.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Ten tennis balls rushed towards Yukimura on the opposite side with a whistling momentum.
The tennis balls were as fast as shooting stars, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on Yukimura's court.
Yukimura's expression remained unchanged, his face still gentle.
Step! Immediately afterwards, he took a step, and his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
“What fast speed!!”
After seeing Yukimura's speed, the First String exclaimed subconsciously.
When Yukimura reappeared, he had already arrived at the landing point of the tennis balls.
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from Yukimura's body, and his amethyst-like eyes looked at the incoming tennis balls.
In an instant, nine afterimages immediately appeared beside Yukimura.
Thump! A muffled sound instantly spread out, and an astonishing air wave centered on Yukimura constantly spread around.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force traveled along the racket into his arm.
“What strong power…—”
Yukimura's amethyst eyes suddenly narrowed, and the force coming from his arm made his expression change.
In terms of power, Byodoin Houou indeed surpassed him.
But…—
It was very difficult for Yukimura for Byodoin Houou to win by relying on strength…
In the next second, Yukimura exerted force in his arm and instantly returned all ten tennis balls.
“Not bad.”
On the opposite side, Byodoin Houou revealed a hint of appreciation in his eyes after seeing Yukimura hit the tennis balls back.
Byodoin Houou knew very well that Yukimura's power was not as good as his, but his mental strength was not as good as Yukimura's.
But in terms of technique and ball control, Yukimura was no worse than either Byodoin Houou or Juujirou Oni.
Byodoin Houou and others were very clear about this.
Even if Yukimura's power was not as good as Byodoin Houou's, in Byodoin Houou's eyes, Yukimura could still counterattack.
In the court, Byodoin Houou's coat swayed in the wind, and his figure appeared in front of the tennis balls as if fleeting.
At the same time, he had two more balls in his hand.
Twelve-Ball Barrage!
The Twelve-Ball Barrage was not difficult for the First String, but in a match of this level, the Twelve-Ball Barrage would become very difficult.
One careless mistake could result in losing a ball, or even hitting the tennis ball out of bounds.
“As expected of the Child of God!!”
“Such powerful ball control, I'm afraid it has surpassed the team leader.”
“Don't forget, he's No.6!”
Outside the court, the First String members sighed as they looked at Yukimura in the court.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Suddenly, twelve hitting sounds rang out quickly, and twelve tennis balls flew out quickly.
Like twelve arrows, the tennis balls tore through the court and rushed towards Yukimura.
On the opposite side, Yukimura chuckled lightly when he saw the twelve tennis balls rushing towards him.
Immediately afterwards, Yukimura flipped his wrist, and two more tennis balls appeared in his hand.
Fourteen balls!
Bang, bang, bang! Yukimura's figure flickered, and in an instant, he hit all fourteen tennis balls back.
“Fourteen-Ball Barrage!!”
Juujirou Oni's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene.
“Yukimura, that guy…”
Shujii Taneshima shook his head and chuckled.
“It seems that Yukimura really doesn't want to lose the match.”
Kazuya Irie thought to himself as he looked at Yukimura in the court.
Ikuto Kimijima, Akuto Mitsuya, Atsukyo Tono, Kaji Fuuta, and others couldn't help but look at each other,
They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Although they knew that Yukimura was a world-class player, Byodoin Houou was also a world-class player!
The Fourteen-Ball Barrage of two world-class players…
“Is this still considered a practice match?”
Date Otoko said as he looked at the two people in the court.
Tomoka Bairiki also spoke after hearing this: “It probably isn't.”
Where would a practice match have a Fourteen-Ball Barrage?
And both of them are world-class!
“This level is still far from enough!”
Byodoin Houou snorted coldly, a powerful aura emanating from his body, and the dust and gravel under his feet were instantly blown away.
The racket swung, bringing up a series of afterimages, and in an instant, it hit the tennis balls.
Thump! A muffled sound suddenly exploded, and astonishing air currents constantly emanated from around Byodoin Houou.
Then, behind Byodoin Houou, a thick cloud of dust constantly rose up.
In an instant, it submerged Byodoin Houou's figure.
Whoosh! A strong air current blew past, instantly dispersing all the dust.
Byodoin Houou exerted force in his arm and instantly hit all fourteen tennis balls back.
But the fourteen tennis balls rushed towards Yukimura in different trajectories, and the trajectories seemed to be constantly changing.
On the opposite side, Yukimura's amethyst eyes narrowed slightly, and with a turn of his feet, his figure disappeared from the spot.
“The speed is even faster!”
The First String's expressions shook after seeing Yukimura's disappearing figure.
