Prince of Tennis: Advent of Hyotei!

Chapter 191: Top 8!

Game day.

The showdown between the top eight officially begins.

The location of the competition venue is also much more spacious than before.

The number of spectators that can be accommodated is twice as much as before.

Moreover, the visible field of view is wider.

At this time, the atmosphere was very hot, and many spectators, as well as some teams that were competing the day after, came to watch the game.

Today, four teams are competing in the quarterfinals, and the other four teams can watch their next round opponents in advance.

The people from Qingxue appeared in the stands earlier.

I found a position that was most central so that I could see the overall situation better.

"coming."

Inui Sadaharu suddenly put away the small notebook and said seriously.

Soon, at the entrance of the stadium, players from the Shitenhoji team, wearing yellow-green uniforms, slowly walked over.

Watanabe Osamu, wearing a straw hat on his head and holding a toothpick in his mouth, led the team into the venue with Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

Everyone looked relaxed and confident of victory.

After entering, the others sat down in the rest area for a while, while Ishida Gin took out his racket and left the venue.

Obviously, it was to warm up before the game.

Oishi: "The people of Shitenhoji are really confident."

Kikumaru: "They don't seem to be worried about their opponents at all."

Fuji: "As expected of last year's top four team, it seems hard to predict who will win today."

"..."

Everyone in Qingxue was talking about this.

At this moment, the Hyotei substitute players who were already prepared on the scene began to hold up banners and shout loudly.

"Hyotei!!"

"..."

Hearing the deafening shout, everyone understood.

It’s Hyotei’s regular players, and they’re about to appear on stage.

Walking in front was Coach Sakaki, who was still wearing a crimson plaid suit and had his hair combed back.

The pace is relaxed, yet the noble temperament is fully revealed.

And Ye Shimu Feng and Atobe set an example and led the team forward.

At this time, Ye Shifeng had already tied up his long hair, and it was not loose at all.

"Wow, these two noble sons of Hyotei are truly amazing."

"Every move they make exudes an air of nobility."

"I've come to the right place today. The game will surely be exciting!"

"..."

Many tennis fans had smiles on their faces and were looking forward to the game more and more.

Some reporters from sports newspapers were also present at the scene, constantly clicking the shutter buttons with their cameras.

The scenes of players from both teams entering the field were recorded one by one.

"Today we will be holding one of the top eight matches in the national competition."

"Hyotei Academy versus Shitenhoji!"

"The first singles match is between Hyotei's Kabaji Takahiro and Yoshida Gin!"

Following the announcement on the live broadcast, the atmosphere became even more heated.

"Karachi, go warm up first." Atobe said, looking to his side.

"Yes."

Huadi threw the ball out of his backpack, then turned and left.

After five minutes, the warm-up is over.

"Invite both players to come forward!"

The two stood in front of the net together.

There is only a 1CM difference in height, so they look almost the same.

In terms of physique, both of them are relatively strong and are big guys.

"I didn't expect that this would be a muscle-on-muscle showdown right from the start?"

"Whether it's Hyotei or Shiten, they both seem so strong!"

"Ishida Gin is known as the most powerful man in the junior high school!"

"Hush! That's in the past. The one with the most power right now should be Ye Shifeng of Hyotei!"

"I heard that Hyotei's Kabaji Takahiro also possesses very terrifying power and has performed very well in the Kanto region."

"Under Ye Shifeng's training, Huadi's strength must not be underestimated!"

"..."

In the audience, both sides held different opinions.

They all think their guess is more accurate.

"front."

"The other side."

At this time, the referee tossed a coin and finally chose Birch, which was on the tail side, to get the first serve.

The game officially begins!

Ta da, da da...

Huadi tapped the tennis ball lightly, trying to get into the rhythm of the game as quickly as possible.

Then, throw the ball up and swing the racket to hit it.

"boom!"

It was a clean, sharp strike, with no tricky spin.

Yes, it's just an attack of pure strength.

Facing this ball, Ishida Gin also had a tentative thought. After he led the racket, his muscles tensed and he burst out a straight topspin ball with his forehand.

The ball was quite powerful and produced a strong impact.

After landing, it bounced up, causing a layer of waves and rushed forward rapidly.

"Boom!!"

Huadi was not afraid and swung his racket to intercept.

The racket face instantly dented, obviously bearing a huge force that it should not have to bear.

But soon, Huadi relied on his own body to absorb the impact of this force and responded to the force with force.

“Is it of this standard?”

Feeling the power of Karaji's ball again, Ishida Gin seemed to have found the information he wanted.

Then, his eyes stared, and the muscles in his arms bulged.

While accumulating strength, focus your own power at one point.

"Hyado Ball One Style!"

"Ah!!"

The tennis ball, which was originally relatively quiet, suddenly turned into an energy shock wave, with a force that seemed to devour everything, and continued to approach the birch field!

"This wave ball feels stronger than any I've seen before!"

"Nothing will happen to Birchland, right?"

"I didn't expect the other party to be so strong just after coming up!"

Everyone in Bingdi couldn't help but feel worried.

At this time, Kawamura Takashi of Qingxue was also shocked by this.

"What a strong force! Such enviable energy!"

On the field.

Facing this overwhelming attack, Huadi remained calm.

He also made the same racket-leading gesture for a wave ball, lowering his body's center of gravity and his eyes were cold.

"Oh?"

Ishida Gin was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect that my own wave ball could also be used by Kabata.

Moreover, looking at this posture, it is not just a simple imitation, but the essence of this move can really be applied.

"Ah!!"

The offensive method is exactly the same. In the moment the arm swings, all the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and injected into the tennis ball.

It was like a cannonball being shot out, rubbing against the air and igniting a layer of hot flames.

"Sa——"

The flaming tennis ball went straight forward without any detours.

"Well done!"

Seeing this ball, Ishida Gin let out a light cry.

Then he raised the racket again, and the action still looked like a wave ball.

But at the moment he made the shot, he felt extremely relaxed and directly intercepted the ball.

And inject more power into the tennis ball.

"Havusho Ball Type 2!"

"drink!!"

With a roar, the tennis ball, which was already threatening enough, became even more terrifying.

However, Huadi did not frown at all, and chose to step forward and take it head-on!
