Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Tianyu stood at the edge of the court, the breeze gently blowing through his hair, bringing a hint of coolness, but also mixed with a bit of tension.

He took a deep breath, his eyes determined, and was about to step into the field that would decide the outcome to warm up.

There was no way out. Since Huadi lost a game, according to the agreement, he had to play with the other party.

However, just as he was about to enter the field, an unexpected move broke the silence on the sidelines.

The opposing coach, Baker, actually smiled and shook his head at him, indicating that the game did not need to continue.

This action surprised and puzzled everyone present.

Are you kidding? All of our players have basically been defeated by the opponent's non-ace players. If the opponent's ace player comes on the court, is there still any hope of winning?

Moreover, all of their players were in poor condition. If they were to play against Tianyu again, it would probably cause a great deal of damage to their confidence.

……

After the game, the atmosphere in the venue was slightly relaxed, and the players of the two teams exchanged greetings under the leadership of their respective coaches.

The sunlight shines through the half-open skylight onto everyone's smiling faces, adding a touch of warmth to the moment of tranquility after the intense tension.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Tianyu's eyes suddenly became profound, as if drawn by some thought. He slowly turned to face Coach Baker and asked, "Coach Baker, I've heard rumors recently that you're actively preparing for an exchange exhibition match with the Neon Kanto team. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Coach Baker's smile gradually faded and his brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.

He sighed inwardly. He had indeed already had preliminary discussions with the other party about this plan and planned to finalize the details within the next three weeks.

However, mentioning this matter at this moment made him feel an indescribable pressure and uneasiness.

The Kanto team is just a team from Hyotei Academy, but it has already completely defeated the team he is currently leading. To confront the entire Kanto team is like hitting a rock with an egg, which is tantamount to bringing humiliation to oneself.

Just as Coach Baker was lost in thought, looking somewhat awkward, Tianyu's voice suddenly came, easing the tense atmosphere like a gentle spring breeze. "Coach Baker, regarding this exchange exhibition match, Hyotei Academy has internally decided not to participate."

After hearing what Coach Tianyu said, Coach Baker's tense nerves finally relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face again.

……

After the U.S. West Coast team left, a subtle atmosphere permeated the entire Ice Emperor Academy.

Atobe Keigo couldn't hide his complex expression. He turned, his gaze fixed on Tianyu beside him, his voice tinged with a barely perceptible urgency. "Tianyu, are you absolutely sure Hyotei is giving up on participating in that so-called exhibition match? It's the perfect stage to showcase my kingdom."

Tianyu smiled gently, and that smile contained a deep understanding of Atobe's character.

He nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming. "Atobe, I understand how you feel, but please believe me, I have deeper considerations. That so-called exhibition match, while prestigious, was merely a warm-up before the national competition. Our goal is to directly aim for the national championship."

Upon hearing this, Atobe was silent for a moment.

He knew very well that Tianyu's decisions were often based on careful consideration, but his inner desire for victory and yearning for challenges still made him feel a little unwilling.

He sighed softly, as if trying to find an outlet for his emotions. "Indeed, you're right. But... I still think that if we could showcase our strength on a grand stage like that, it would undoubtedly greatly boost our morale."

Tianyu seemed to see through Atobe's thoughts. He gently patted Atobe's shoulder, his tone full of encouragement and comfort: "Atobe, I understand your reluctance. But believe me, I have a better plan. I have invited a top tennis coach, who will provide us with an unprecedented training experience in the coming time. If we can make full use of this time, then when the national competition comes, Hyotei will appear in front of the world in an even more perfect posture."

At this point, Tianyu's eyes became unusually determined: "Also, don't forget our ultimate goal - it's not just about winning an exhibition match, but to make Bingdi's name resound throughout the country and ascend to the championship throne."

Atobe was deeply moved by Tianyu's words. He nodded slowly, and the reluctance in his heart was gradually replaced by longing for the future.

So, he straightened his back, his eyes shining brightly again: "Tianyu, you are right. This year's Ice Emperor will have no blind spots!"

……

With only three days left until the highly anticipated Kanto Tournament, the air on the Rikkai University campus is filled with an atmosphere of both tension and anticipation.

As time goes by, a group of uninvited guests have arrived, including Tianyu and Jibe.

"Tianyu, look at Rikkai University. Although it has a profound foundation, in terms of scale and momentum, it still cannot be compared with my kingdom. What do you think?" There was a hint of subtle provocation in Atobe's words. He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes flashed with confidence.

Tianyu gently touched his forehead when he heard this, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew Atobe's character very well, so he was too lazy to argue. He just followed his words and responded: "Yes, yes, Master Atobe, you are right."

"Oh, as for next year's lottery ceremony..." Atobe changed the subject, "That will be a grand event held at our Hyotei Academy. When the time comes, you have to perform well for me and don't embarrass me, don't you agree, Tianyu?"

Tianyu was even more speechless, "Atobe, isn't that Hiyoshi and Feng's business? We will all graduate next year."

……

In the auditorium of Rikkai University, people wearing various school uniforms have already taken their seats, with only a few seats left.

With only five minutes left, the draw was about to begin. Sanada looked at the empty seats and couldn't help but ask Yanagi, "Which schools haven't yet arrived, Yanagi? You're really lax." Sanada decided to teach those schools who didn't take time seriously a lesson during the competition.

But as Liu spoke, his idea was instantly shattered.

"Qingxue and Hyotei."

Seigaku is okay, but forget about Hyotei. Their overall strength is now comparable to Rikkai University, so it’s better not to have such dangerous thoughts.

……

With the sound of the door opening, two more people in blue and white coats arrived.

Fuji smiled and looked at Daishi, "Daishi, it seems we are late. Coach Ryuzaki won't blame us, right?"

Although Fuji said this, his eyes were already open, looking at the three giants of Rikkai University on the stage.
