Prince of Tennis: Advent of Hyotei!

Chapter 214 The Best Partner

In the second game, Oishi served.

Kikumaru made a "yeah" gesture behind him.

This was their secret gesture, and Dashi understood it.

Then, he walked to the center line and formed an Australian formation parallel to Kikumaru.

When they use this formation, the tempo changes faster and their winning rate tends to improve.

Faced with this change in formation, Shishido also made a gesture to Chotaro behind him.

Chotaro responded to the serve calmly, running forward and heading straight to the net!

"Great! Using the double net to suppress the opponent!"

"This way, we can take the initiative first!"

"As expected of Ice Emperor, his thoughts can change so quickly."

"..."

There was a burst of admiration from the audience.

On the court, Shishido and Chotaro launched an offensive at the net.

"Dashi!"

"Ok!"

Suddenly, Kikumaru moved sideways to avoid the ball.

Oishi, who was waiting in the backcourt, had a confident gleam in his eyes.

rustling --

While accumulating power, the center of gravity is extremely lowered, and the racket rubs against the ground.

When the ball bounces up to your knees, swing your arms upwards!

It's like waving a whip, or even more like catching the moon in a well!

"Watch me, moon climbing interception!"

Dashi roared angrily, and all his strength burst out from bottom to top.

The tennis ball rises high at great speed with a strong side spin.

Passing over the heads of Shishido and Chotaro.

"boom!!"

"hiss~"

The tennis ball fell straight into the bottom corner without any bounce, but instead it kept spinning in place due to the strong side spin.

It didn't roll to the side until the rotation disappeared.

"15-0!"

"Oishi Shuichiro, a lob of this level is pretty good."

“His progress is somewhat surprising.”

Atobe couldn't help but speak and gave his evaluation.

Previously, Oishi could be said to be the player with the least obvious technical characteristics among the main team of Seigaku.

But now that it has achieved such a promotion, it is natural to attract attention.

"This guy's ability is actually not that far."

"But he hasn't discovered it yet."

Ye Shifeng smiled lightly.

Hearing him halfway through his words, Atobe became curious.

But seeing that he didn't seem to intend to continue, Atobe didn't ask any more questions, but just secretly made a note of this.

On the field, Qingxue launched a counterattack.

Oishi's accurate and extremely fast lobs, coupled with Kikumaru's deceptive presence at the net.

Shishido and Chotaro were unable to find a solution for a while.

The original plan to suppress the opponent at the net also failed.

"This round is won by Qingxue, 1-1."

Seeing that the other party had already shown his abilities, Shishido no longer planned to hide them.

As his gaze narrowed, the world around him seemed to become extremely peaceful.

Just like the night before a storm, everything was so quiet.

But the next moment, a strong aura like that of a ferocious beast burst out from his body.

A red energy wave surrounded him.

Even his eyes were filled with the murderous intent of hunting prey.

This level of concentration and cohesion has allowed Shishido to reach his peak state.

"Such a strong momentum, it feels different from what I've seen before!"

"It even seems to be stronger than Minister Fudomine's!"

The moment Oishi and Kikumaru felt this momentum, they both broke out in a cold sweat.

Soon, the game continued.

Shishido's attack was as swift as the wind and as loud as fire.

Under the scorching sun, this desire to attack made the atmosphere even more heated.

"boom!"

"15-15."

"boom!"

"30-15."

"boom!"

"40-15."

"..."

"Hyotei wins this round, 2-1."

With his highly concentrated mental strength, Shishido hit a series of high-quality returns.

He always manages to suddenly attack at the critical moment and seize a slight opportunity to counterattack.

Each strike penetrated the defenses of Oishi and Kikumaru.

At this moment, the opponent's cooperation was full of loopholes in his eyes.

With his own strength alone, he tore apart the tacit understanding between the two.

"Huh...huh..."

"So strong, the perfect combination of reaction and execution, it's really not easy."

Kikumaru was gasping for breath.

In the fast-paced attack just now, he made continuous somersaults, leaps, and diving saves, all of which involved his entire body.

Even though he had intensified his physical training, the sudden transformation was still a bit too much for him.

"Daishi, let's get started."

Kikumaru looked at his teammates beside him and extended a sincere invitation.

"Ah."

Dashi nodded, his eyes filled with sincerity.

At this moment, the auras of the two gradually overlapped, forming a huge energy wave that enveloped their entire bodies.

There were clearly two people standing on the field, but it seemed as if there was only one person.

The other one is his perfect clone.

Kikumaru: "Oishi, it's really fun to play doubles with you!"

Oishi: "Me too, Eiji."

Kikumaru: "I only play doubles because Oishi is here."

Oishi: "We are the infinite possibilities of doubles!"

……

At this moment, the light radiating from the two of them became increasingly stronger.

It was as if their bond aura also gave rise to endless power.

"Is it higher than the synchronization of Shitenhoji?"

“These two really took the infinite possibilities of doubles to the next level.”

At this moment, I have to express my admiration for Yamabuki's Potato and Hero combination.

I believe that this level of doubles is far above them.

On the court, Shishido Ryo was not afraid at all.

Chotaro also tried his best to resist the light.

The competition became increasingly fierce, but as Synchro evolved to a higher level, Seigaku began to take control of the situation.

There are almost no blind spots in defense, and the teamwork is such that the team can fully understand the intentions of their teammates without any words.

The perfect connection between the Kikumaru beam and the Moon-climbing interception, the two of them gave full play to their respective characteristics and their shortcomings were constantly made up for by their teammates.

Looking at this level of synchronization power, Ye Shifeng couldn't help but shake his head.

"The power of bonds is indeed very mysterious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee's voice came again.

"This round is won by Qingxue, 5-2!"

It seems there is no way out.

One more game and we’ll be completely defeated.

The beastly aura on Shishido Ryo suddenly dissipated into the air.

At the same time, fatigue is also visible to the naked eye.

The high-intensity concentration of mental energy also consumed a lot of his energy.

Especially when facing an iron wall of defense, one needs to put in a lot of energy to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

But even so, it still failed to break Qingxue's synchronization power.

"Shishido-senpai."

Chotaro looked at Shishido Ryo's unwilling eyes and the unyielding will he revealed.

It made him deeply moved.

"We are also the best partners, aren't we?"

Chotaro looked at Shishido with a determined gaze.

It was clearly a question, but coming from his mouth it sounded more like a clear statement.

"phoenix."

Shishido felt his heart stir, and recalled the time since their first doubles team match.

From unfamiliar to familiar, from full of loopholes to making up for the shortcomings, and from repeated failures, they are finding their own path to tacit understanding.

In this arena, no one knows each other better than them.

In the past, Shishido Ryo never thought of playing doubles all the time.

Before this game, he thought in his heart that the reason he persisted was just for Ice Emperor's victory.

Until just now, the word "partner" was uttered from Chotaro's mouth for the first time.

Shishido Ryo suddenly realized that the entanglement in his heart had completely disappeared.

It turns out that he has long loved doubles! He loves the moments of cooperating with Chotaro and enjoying tennis!

"I understand."

Shishido Ryo looked at Chotaro and smiled slightly.

The long hair that had not been shaved fluttered in the breeze, looking a little messy.

But the smile in this chaos is particularly genuine.

"We are the best partners!"

They both said in unison, a whole new energy emanating from their bodies.

The pupils also changed instantly, as if they had no focus, yet were extremely focused.

"They are..."

"homology!"

For a moment, everyone was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Shishido Ryo and Chotaro could complete such an amazing evolution at this critical moment.

However, Ye Shifeng had already anticipated this.

After all, the two of them are very compatible together.

Shishido Ryo's strength and wildness, Chotaro's gentleness and lowness.

The correct answer is to combine offense and defense to achieve this level.

Soon, the two sides switched sides and fought again.

As they both entered the realm of synchronized doubles, the tacit understanding between Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro soared to an extremely high level.

And vaguely, Shishido Ryo was still exerting the power of his beast's breath to influence Houchotaro.

Even after entering the state of synchronization, his heart remained steadfast in using his own strength to protect his partner, worthy of his status as a senior!

"boom!"

"15-15!"

"boom!"

"30-30!"

"..."

"Hyotei wins this round, 3-5!"

"Hyotei wins this round, 4-5!"

The score was gradually caught up.

On the Qingxue side, the atmosphere became even more tense.

Especially Ryuzaki Sumire's face, which turned blue.

She had never imagined that at this critical moment, Hyotei's doubles team would actually realize synchronization and perform at such a level.

This technique requires a high degree of concentration and unity of mind and body, but it is used with ease.

Moreover, Shishido Ryo's beastly aura can play a key role in this.

This made her feel even more stressed.

"hateful!"

"We can't lose this game!!"

Ryuzaki Sumire clenched her arms anxiously and could no longer sit still.

If we lose this game again, the pressure in the next singles match will be even greater.

All her plans would collapse in an instant!

And just when she was extremely anxious, new changes suddenly occurred on the field.

"Clap!"

"40-30!"

Shishido Ryo's interception in the backcourt was suddenly not powerful enough and fell into the net.

The aura on his body was also rapidly fading.

The beast's aura disappeared, and even the state of synchronization became unstable.

Soon, his body began to stagger and he almost fell down.

"Shishido-senpai!"

Chotaro sensed his companion's state and immediately broke free from the synchronization state and flew forward quickly.

He supported Shishido Ryo who was falling backwards with both hands.

At this moment, Shishido Ryo's headband fell off, and her long hair fell down.

The high-intensity dominant consumption put his body into a state of overload.

After all, it was his first time to synchronize with the world, and he was using the aura of ferocious beasts, which consumed a lot of his mental energy.

Her face showed signs of fatigue, and her long hair was already wet with sweat and was falling down.

In this state, he was less serious than before and more fragile.

"Chotaro."

"Hel me up."

Shishido's voice was low, but firm.

Even though he was almost unable to hold on, he still wanted to fight again.

"Hiyoshi, go warm up first."

Ye Shifeng waved his hand and gave instructions to the person beside him.

"Yes."

Hiyoshiro picked up his racket and took one last look at the court.

He was deeply moved by the spirit of Shishido Ryo and Chotaro.

Therefore, he secretly swore in his heart that no matter who his opponent was, he must win in the next game!

On the court, Shishido Ryo insisted on standing up to welcome the last ball.

Even though he was able to swing the racket, his movements had become stiff.

“Lift it up! Lift it up, ahhhh!!”

"It's such a shame to lose here!!"

He roared and pulled at his arms, trying to fight back.

But this ball was too heavy, so heavy that his body couldn't bear it, and he took two steps back.

Finally, the ball hit the net, bounced twice, and finally fell to his side.

Da da da... Gurgle~

The referee did not make the announcement until the tennis ball stopped rolling.

"This game is over!"

"Qingxue wins, score 6-4!"

“ohohohoohoo!!!”

"Qingxue! Qingxue!!"

"..."

The cheers belonging to Qingxue finally broke out at this moment.

Repressed emotions can also be released.

Oishi and Kikumaru hugged each other tightly, then fell back together and lay on the court.

Looking up at the same sky, breathing in the air deeply.

Everything feels so beautiful.

At this moment, they can truly be called the top doubles team in the country.

Kikumaru: "Oishi, it's great to play ball with you."

Oishi: "Eiji."

The two turned to look at each other, with clear smiles on their faces.

"Great! As expected of Senior Oishi and Senior Kikumaru!"

Taocheng was extremely excited, even more excited than when he was on the court himself.

He couldn't help but shook Longma's shoulders wildly.

“Ah…Ah…Senior Tao!”

“I feel dizzy!”

Longma shouted helplessly.

Only Momoshiro Takeshi could play with him so freely.

"How about it, Echizen, are you happy too?"

"This way, we still have a chance. Maybe in the end it will depend on you to lead Qingxue into the finals!"

Taocheng said even more excitedly.

When Longma heard this, he was also looking forward to his moment on the court.

"Hey, stinky snake."

"Don't go up there and embarrass yourself! I've been watching you the whole time!"

At this time, Momoshiro shifted his target to Kaidou Kaoru who had returned early from warm-up.

After muttering something in disgust, he took out a brand new orange-yellow headscarf from his backpack.

"what?"

Kaitang was about to open his mouth to fight back, but was stunned by this action.

"I saw you rescue a puppy on the roadside earlier and bandaged it with your newly bought bandana."

"Is this still the old one on your head?"

"I bought you a new one because you're so kind-hearted. Don't be ungrateful."

Taocheng said with a proud look on his face.

"Idiot."

"I do not need."

Kaidou Xun curled his lips and his face turned slightly red.

But he still pushed away Taocheng's hand and didn't take it.

"Tell me the truth. The lady who rescued the puppy asked me to give it to you."

"She said she appreciates your help and hopes you can win the game with it."

"Is this acceptable?"

Seeing that he didn't take it, Taocheng immediately explained.

After hearing this, Kaitang took the headscarf and quickly changed it into a new one for himself.

"Senior Tao, you obviously bought it yourself two days ago, right?"

"I think I saw you at the mall, talking to a clerk..."

Ryoma was halfway through his words when Momoshiro covered his mouth.

"Shh!"

"Don't talk nonsense, just wait and watch the game."

Longma was tactful and said nothing more.

Kaitang, who was well prepared, looked at Taocheng with a determined look.

Although he didn't say anything, Taocheng could feel what he was thinking. He smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead and win it back along with my share."

"You are such an enviable fellow."
