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

Upon hearing this sudden announcement of the appearance list, Yanagi Renji's face was instantly covered by a thick layer of gloom, so gloomy that it seemed as if even the air had solidified and water could almost drip from it.

His tightly pursed lips revealed his inner uneasiness and astonishment, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

Originally, Yanagi Renji already had a carefully planned chess game in his mind. He planned to let the hidden Niou Masaharu fully demonstrate his strength in this doubles match, and win another doubles match for Rikkai University with a beautiful victory.

Then, with three match points in hand, they will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for securing the victory.

However, reality was like a sudden hammer that shattered his original plan.

The opponent's ace player, who was almost unbeatable in singles, was actually arranged to compete in the doubles match. This was undoubtedly a decision that no one expected.

Yanagi Renji was well aware of the strength of his opponent. Facing such a strong enemy, even a player like Niou would find it extremely difficult to turn the tide by his own strength.

"Now the situation has become complicated and dangerous." Yanagi Renji thought to himself, frowning, as if even the air around him became heavy with his thoughts.

He knew very well that every minute and every second was crucial at this moment, and he had to quickly adjust his strategy and find a way out.

But there was one thing he was very curious about. Besides Atobe and Akutsu, who else could the opponent send out in a singles match?

……

At the front of the tennis court, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the net, adding a sense of tension and anticipation to the upcoming match.

Tianyu and Oshitari stood side by side, their eyes looking straight ahead, falling on Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi who were smiling and greeting each other across from them.

Tianyu's lips curled up in a friendly arc, and his tone was a little teasing: "Please be more lenient in the game later. After all, our minister has very high expectations. If I lose, he will definitely blame me for not giving my all, and then I will have a headache."

Hearing this, Yagyu Hiroshi smiled softly. He habitually pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and responded with a nearly perfect gentlemanly demeanor, "Don't say that, Tianyu-san. On the field, we will naturally give our all and leave no room for error. However, as for the result, I still prefer Rikkai University to win."

"Besides, our Vice-President, Sanada, seems even more formidable. Please give us your guidance. It will be an exciting match."

Upon hearing this, Tianyu couldn't help but turn his gaze to Sanada Genichirō across from him. Sanada's poker face looked particularly cold in the sunlight, as if even the air had become heavy with his presence.

In comparison, their own chief, Keigo Atobe, seemed much more relaxed. He stood there, his eyes full of confidence in victory and disdainful arrogance, as if this game was just a piece of cake for them.

Tianyu secretly compared them in his mind. Indeed, Sanada's aura of majesty without even getting angry seemed even more terrifying than Atobe's ostentatious self-confidence. Poor Rikkai University player who only took two and a half seconds.

Thinking of this, Tianyu withdrew his thoughts and refocused his attention on the upcoming game.

……

Rikkai's big serve.

Niou Masaharu, the "trickster" known for his unpredictable nature, stood quietly in the serving area with a deep gaze, as if he could see into every corner of his opponent's heart.

His mind couldn't help but echo the military advisor's admonition, "Nio, there's no need to hide in this match. Give it your all. Rikkai University needs this victory."

Niou shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, but inwardly he couldn't help but grumble, "Yara, looks like another tough match today. But since the opponent is strong, I won't be too bored, right?"

He knew very well that Hyotei Academy might be the biggest obstacle on their road to Rikkai University's championship. Doubles was crucial and it determined whether Rikkai University could successfully advance to the finals. He must absolutely go all out to win this game.

The 16-game winning streak must not be interrupted by this generation!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

Niou took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state. Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he seemed to perform magic, and his figure suddenly became blurred. Then, an incredible scene appeared - he actually turned into the appearance of Atobe Keigo, the president of Hyotei Academy!

This move shocked the audience and teammates present. They did not expect Nioh to do this.

However, Niou did not relax because of this. He quickly focused his attention on the tennis ball in his hand and threw it high. The yellow ball drew a beautiful arc in the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, Niou's body suddenly leaned back like a bow ready to be released, all the muscles in his body tensed, and his strength was concentrated to the extreme at this moment.

With a crisp sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball carrying the hope of Rikkai University flew like an arrow from a bow, with the momentum of a blazing flame, straight into Hyotei's half of the court.

However, after the tennis ball landed, it did not bounce high as expected, but slid out of the baseline in an incredible trajectory.

"0-15, Lihai takes a big lead."

The entire audience instantly fell into a deathly silence. The audience stared at the scene with wide eyes, in disbelief.

The members of Hyotei showed expressions of disbelief, as if they could not accept such a result.

Although the players of Rikkai University were also full of doubts and confusion, they were more excited. Rikkai University's chances of winning had increased.

As for Niwang himself, he just smiled slightly. He knew that this was just the beginning and the real battle was still to come.

……

In the Hyotei rest area, Atobe felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and couldn't help but explain, "That wasn't me, it was just Niou imitating me."

Only then did everyone let go of Atobe, and then their eyes became serious. The difficulty of this match had increased. With Atobe on the opposite side, it would be very difficult to deal with him.

Atobe remembered Tianyu's persistence that night and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he listened to Tianyu and arranged Tianyu to play doubles. Otherwise, how could Ozaki and Xianghi win?

At the same time, he stared meaningfully at Nioh, oh no, it should be said that it was Atobe who was transformed by Nioh.

"You hid it really well, Niou. I almost got tricked by you."

Fortunately, Tianyu was on the court, otherwise we would have really lost.

Thinking of Tianyu's strength, Atobe felt sad for his opponent. He didn't think that Niou Masaharu could beat Tianyu, no matter who he transformed into.

It can be said that Rikkai University’s calculations failed.
