The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

"Tap tap tap~"

Hiyoshi looked down at the tennis ball in his hand.

Although the opponent was one of the three giants of Rikkai University, he was not flustered at all.

The Big Three?

so what?

His beautiful, sharp eyes flashed with a glint of light, and his palms inexplicably itched.

Let's have a showdown!

This is what Hiyoshi Waka truly thinks.

Minister Natsume said,

In this match, there's no need to worry about winning or losing.

Go ahead and fight!

There's no need to be fixated on the idea of ​​subordinates overthrowing superiors.

【White Dragon's Roar】!

these days,

Hiyoshi has been practicing diligently every day, honing his skills for ten years, yet his sharp edge remains untested.

Nowadays,

Let's try it on Renji Yanagi from Rikkai University and see how much he has mastered this move.

"..."

He suddenly looked across at the other side.

Liu Lian'er looks like an old blind man.

Sensing the malevolent light rushing towards him, he abruptly looked up, closed his eyes, and asked in confusion.

Does his eye hold a sharp, dragon-like edge?

Liu Lian was suspicious.

Very good eyesight.

but,

Rikkai's three-peat is a formidable force, and they will absolutely not hold back.

"Bang!"

The moment he heard the sound of the ball being hit, Yanagi Renji activated his intelligence awareness. Whether he could use it or not was irrelevant; he didn't really care about his opponent, it was just a subconscious action.

This ball,

Nothing special.

Having made up his mind not to give his opponent any chance, Liu Lianji closed his eyes and focused on every blind spot of his opponent as he prepared to hit the ball. Although he was not using his full strength, his opponent could not easily receive the ball.

"Bang!"

My eyelids tightened slightly.

This ball even had the feel of branches weighed down by heavy snow.

Liu Renji didn't care, and flung it out with an incredibly elegant movement, displaying the composure of Rikkai University without the slightest panic.

His demeanor as a strongman was unmistakable.

Onlookers were all amazed by his composure.

The ball flew out at an angle, spinning rapidly, and crashed into Hiyoshi's corner.

Liu Lian'er did not relax in the slightest.

In the last game, the opponent didn't show any strength at all.

This shot could be considered a probe.

The ball flew out, and Hiyoshi Waka's figure was clearly slower than the ball. Yanagi Renji watched closely and concluded that he couldn't catch up.

Hiyoshi Wakashi's heart was also clenched tightly.

A thought,

This ball must be caught.

Otherwise, this situation will be dangerous.

"..."

"You probably won't be able to receive it."

"As expected, there is still a big gap between them and Rikkai University."

Almost everyone thinks so.

Hiyoshi is still too new and needs more experience.

"A lunge and snatch?"

"That's going way too far."

If Hiyoshi saw the opportunity, he didn't hesitate any longer and, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, threw his body, which was over 170 centimeters long, along with the length of his racket.

"Bang!"

Successfully received.

It did a complete mud dragon somersault.

He actually sent the ball flying in a peculiar arc.

Liu Lian'er was slightly surprised.

This is only the first point of the second set.

They're really going all out?

Seeing Hiyoshi roll over, then prop himself up with one hand and leap to his feet, I was even more surprised.

With the racket placed in the palm of his left hand and held in his right, Liu Lianji ran forward, this time adding a little more force.

"Bang!"

The movement was equally graceful; he shot with a backhand towards the diagonal corner, the furthest point from Hiyoshi.

With the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger.

Hiyoshi Waka's gait was quite strange.

It was like a tiger leaping and a snake flashing by; the scene left everyone dumbfounded.

"What is that?"

"It's incredible that Hiyoshi Wakasa of Hyotei was able to catch up from such a distance."

"They look like snakes and tigers, are all the members of Hyotei Monsters?"

.....

Liu Lianji also stared in astonishment.

"Bang!"

Renji Yanagi is like an adult, while Wakashi Hiyoshi is like a child—a child who, despite lacking ability, is earnest and hardworking, always either on the run to steal the ball or on the run to save it.

Those footsteps were like a small motor, spinning rapidly.

Despite the difficulty,

But they refused to give up any ball.

Renji Yanagi hit every ball with perfect precision, aiming for the optimal landing point.

Yes, if Hiyoshi could catch up in the final moments for every single ball.

"Bang!"

"Fifteen to zero!"

With a thud, Hiyoshi fell to the ground and scored a point.

After slowly getting up, he was covered in dust and dirt.

"That guy actually got a point from the professor."

Niou Masaharu raised his eyebrows, both amazed and indignant.

Marui Bunta calmly blew bubbles, inhaled them, and said:

"However, he probably can't hold on until the end."

"Everyone, what's wrong?"

Kirihara Akaya gritted his teeth, filled with indignation:

"What happened to the promised three-peat? Why, why did our opponents score points every time?"

This angry shout startled and confused the entire Rikkai. Why?

Why?

Atobe Keigo sneered:

"Because of arrogance!!"

Yuushi Oshitari: "The common failing of kings."

The newly crowned bride chimed in, "A hero who isn't arrogant is unworthy of being a young man!"

"Uh!!" Atobe Keigo: "Hahaha."

"That guy is really good; he actually managed to take points from Rikkai."

"However, it seems that Renji Yanagi from Rikkai University didn't go all out."

"Hmph, a competition is a competition. Whether he gives it his all or not is his own choice."

"That's right, choices are also part of the competition. Those who want to conserve their strength may end up being harmed by it."

"The process of the game is an opportunity. Some people are not hot when they first come on the court, but once they are given the opportunity and get used to the rhythm, it is common for them to have an outstanding performance."

"The fact that you like to hold back is a sign of looking down on your opponents. I prefer players who give it their all from the start."

"Like that Hiyoshi?"

Opinions from people outside the venue were varied and numerous.

In the field—

Renji Yanagi also heard Akaya Kirihara's complaint.

"Bang!"

Before they could think, the disheveled opponent launched a shot straight at them.

They fought fluently.

"ah!!!"

Hiyoshi started gripping the racket with both hands, shouting.

The gap in ability is still quite large.

We have no choice but to fight to the death.

"You have no chance!"

Liu Lian spoke, her tone extremely calm.

Hiyoshi did not answer.

His brow twitched slightly.

Recalling that image that had repeated itself in my mind a thousand times,

That day, Natsume Tsuki was standing right in front of him.

Hiyoshi seemed to have merged with that shadow; his touch was unfamiliar, but his momentum was still unstoppable.

"White Dragon's Roar!!"

The racket whistled as it was swung, accompanied by Hiyoshi Waka's chilling shout.

Liu Lian'er's heart skipped a beat.

As if their souls had been shaken, they suddenly opened their eyes.

Under the sunlight, shimmering waves sparkled, and a faint white dragon darted about like lightning, or like uncontrollable sparks, bursting and darting about.

"Snapped!"

"Thirty... to zero!!"

The referee stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally speaking, but his voice unconsciously became much softer, as if he had drawn all his energy elsewhere.

I woke up with a start!

Liu Lian'er was stunned for a long time, overwhelmed by the power, the aura, and the soul-penetrating pressure.

This completely made the three giants of Rikkai University feel threatened.

In that very instant,

He saw the white dragon swim for a fleeting moment.

His long-term training has made him able to act at will without needing commands.

But in that instant,

He suddenly felt that his body was no longer under the control of his subconscious, and he couldn't move it, as if a good dream had turned into a nightmare?!

A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Ha ha ha~"

The person opposite was panting heavily, and Liu Lian'er looked up.

Hiyoshi Waka of Hyotei seems to be exhausted.

? ? ? ? ?

Liu Lian'er was filled with questions.

Outside the stadium, however, the atmosphere was quite lively at that moment.

"Akuzu-senpai, did you see that?"

"It's so noisy."

"Sengoku-senpai, it seems like something has passed by."

"Hmm, it seems so..."

"This is incredible, Yuta, I told you, those guys are really something else."

"Mitsuki, when did you say that?"

"Captain Tachibana, that guy was actually holding back that move?"

"Hyotei's Hiyoshi Waka, actually managed to score two points against Yanagi Renji, very impressive."

......

Hyotei:

"Isn't that the same tactic the minister used against Hiyoshi the other day?"

"Ha, that guy, he actually hid and practiced secretly, that's outrageous."

"Yeah, yeah, it looks like we need to practice harder, or our starting positions will be in jeopardy."

"Hiyoshi, huh!"

-

"Hyotei Hiyoshi, please continue serving."

The referee secretly hoped for another goal; he had just hallucinated, and for a moment his mind was at peace.

"Tap tap tap~"

Hiyoshi felt as if he had been drained dry, his limbs were weak and he couldn't muster much strength.

Unconsciously,

He began to follow Natsume Tsukiya's instructions, turning the air into strands that entered his lungs through his nostrils and then exhaling through his lips.

"Bang!"

Another shot, but not very powerful.

Liu Lian'er's mind was still preoccupied with the scene from just now, and his fighting spirit relaxed, so his counterattacks were not as sharp as when he first entered the arena.

"As the minister said, as long as one can unleash the White Dragon's Roar, even with only 50% of their strength, it's enough to make the opponent relax in the next round..."

From the moment he served, Hiyoshi watched Renji Yanagi's movements intently, and he could indeed sense the inexplicable fatigue emanating from him.

"Bang!"

The racket in his hand was being pressed backward by the force, but Hiyoshi knew that if he had followed Yanagi Renji's previous counterattack, he would definitely not have been able to withstand it.

Hidden dragon, do not use —

Once you receive the second ball, you can use the force from the first ball to continue building up power.

Hiyoshi thought to himself that he would play a few more balls and wait for his strength to recover a little.

"Bang!"

Liu Lian felt a strange sensation in her arm, as if something was off about her recent shots.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

While he was thinking, the force in his hand had reached its limit, and he had no choice but to exert it.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two played a few more balls.

Both Japan and Japan avoid attacking.

"Snap!"

"Ah~~"

Hiyoshi Wakaba practically squeezed his voice out of his lungs this time, making it sound as if he were carrying a huge rock on his back.

Everyone present was shocked; his expression was ferocious and truly terrifying.

"Bang!"

Liu Lian'er's mind went blank for a moment, as if her head had suddenly sank, and a sudden wave of fear surged through her heart.

"40 to 0!"

A breath caught in his throat, but when it finally came out, the referee had already delivered his verdict in a loud voice.

Liu Lian'er suddenly woke up.

Forty to zero?

When did I ever get beaten 40-0 in a single game?

He stared blankly at the ball on the ground, then glanced at the boy opposite him who was kneeling on one knee, his racket planted firmly on the ground. He immediately concluded that there was something wrong with the boy's playing style.

Although I don't know what it is, it does make me lose my fighting spirit.

The racket in his hand creaked loudly, accompanied by murmurs from the sidelines:

"How is this possible? Senior was actually beaten to a 40-0 score by his opponent?"

"Is Rikkai really going to lose?"

"..."

The Rikkai University cheering squad was very puzzled.

Marui Bunta glanced at it and said:

"That guy, there was something wrong with that shot."

"They actually managed to pull some tricks on the professor. The Hyotei guys are really impatient."

Niou Masaharu then spoke.

"However, it all ends here." Sanada Genichiro thought to himself as he looked at the situation on the field, "Renji will not give him any more chances."

"..."

If Hiyoshi felt dizzy for no reason and his head was throbbing, then he knew that this move was not something that could be used easily.

"Bang!"

This was the last point of his service game, and his shot was visibly weakened; its speed was like a fading sunset, its light dim and feeble.

"Hmph~"

At this moment, Liu Lian'er was unusually clear-headed.

"Bang!"

"Forty to fifteen!"

A fierce force surged from his wrist, flowing into his racket. Combined with his precise ball control, Hiyoshi was utterly powerless against Renji Yanagi's attacks.

"Bang!"

If Hiyoshi had a little more strength, he would continue to send it out.

"Bang!"

"Forty to thirty."

"Bang!"

"Forty to forty."

.....

What happened to that guy from Hyotei?

"It seems like the momentum from before has completely disappeared?"

"Why haven't you used that move yet? I think it's called White Dragon's Roar. Use it now!"

Someone outside the stadium was shouting.

Akutsu's brows furrowed, becoming serious, before relaxing.

"What's wrong, Sengoku-senpai?" Tan Taichi looked up.

"Hiyoshi of Hyotei seems to have exhausted his stamina."

Sengoku Kiyosumi stroked his chin and said.

Guan Yuechu continued:

"In my opinion, his White Dragon Roar technique must have been extremely taxing on his stamina, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like that. But it's impossible for him to win the match with a move that's not suited to his abilities, especially against Rikkai's Yanagi Renji!"

He spoke in a way that was profound and unfathomable, leaving listeners bewildered.

Yuuta Fuji: "But, Mizuki, why are you acting like you know everything?"

"..." Guan Yuechu.

"Bang!"

Hiyoshi Waka had gained more strength.

"Smack!"

"Rikkai University, score 2-0!"

Renji Yanagi stood there, feeling very puzzled. Hiyoshi of Hyotei had never used that move since then, just as he had thought.

"Hey, I thought Hiyoshi would win a game."

Many people sighed, after all, winning a game against Liu Lian would have been a remarkable achievement.

"Bang!"

Liu Lianji held nothing back and went all out.

"Fifteen to zero!"

"Thirty to zero!"

...

"Game Tatekai Oyanagi Renji, the score is three to zero."

...

The game seems to be over.

Although everyone still has expectations for Hiyoshi Waka.

Many people are thinking that Hiyoshi should conserve his energy and he'll eventually score another goal.

"Match ended! Rikkai's Renji Yanagi won, with a score of 6-0!"

Until the referee announced that Hiyoshi had not been able to use that incredibly beautiful move again.

"ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh!"

Countless sighs.
