The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 93

"Is it over?"

No, it's not over yet.

Amidst the noise and chaos, Fuji Syusuke gripped the tennis ball tightly once more, his resolve hardened; he would not give up so easily.

"call out!"

This time, as Fuji Syusuke watched the tennis ball rise, he no longer used his provocative low serve.

I must use all my special moves and have a showdown with Natsume Tsuki.

"Bang!"

His serve left everyone utterly bewildered: "Fuji-senpai, why didn't you use a low serve?"

"Has Fuji-senpai already given up?"

"No, Fuji isn't the kind of person who gives up easily."

"Fuji, you have to do your best!"

As everyone watched, Natsume Tsukiya's actions made everyone hold their breath for Fuji Syusuke.

"What? Natsume Tsuki didn't use any skills to retaliate either?"

Soon, everyone realized that Natsume Tsukiya's counterattack was nothing special.

Fuji Syusuke also frowned, wondering what the other side was up to.

He was already on guard, but now he was confused.

Natsume Tsukiya's thinking was very simple: if you are arrogant, then I will be even more arrogant; if you dare to lay a hand on me, then I will be even more ruthless.

Kirihara Akari serves as a cautionary tale.

Fuji Syusuke hesitated slightly, then stretched out one hand forward, aimed, and made a signature gesture.

"Look, that guy from Seigaku is about to use his special move."

"That's right, I'll always remember that move, it was the one we used when we were fighting against each other."

"However, how effective would his move be against the captain of Hyotei?"

"That's hard to say."

Seigaku: "Great! It's like a swallow returning to its nest."

"That's right, let's show that guy what a real swallow returning to its nest looks like!"

"Fuji-senpai is so handsome!"

A flash of light appeared, and Fuji Syusuke's beautiful eyes revealed a cold glint.

With a whoosh, the tennis ball flew into Natsume Tsukiya's court, making a hissing sound. It turned a corner, and the ball flashed past Natsume Tsukiya, slithering across the court like a snake close to the ground.

Fuji Syusuke still maintains that cool pose after hitting the ball.

He harbored a lot of resentment, and this shot was meant to show his opponent that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"Score!"

Seigaku erupted in cheers: "See? I told you so! As long as Fuji-senpai uses his ultimate technique, he'll definitely be able to turn the tide!"

"You really are something, Fuji."

"wrong...

Suddenly, Ryoma Echizen shouted, "It's not over yet!"

In the arena, Fuji Syusuke suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"The ball is floating!"

"Look, it's the Storm Nebula Rift!"

"No, it's the Hand House District."

"Storm Nebula Rift!!!"

"Tezuka Ward!"

"Stop arguing. It seems that the swallow returning to its nest is completely useless."

The ball spun and slowly returned to Natsume Tsukiya's side.

"Look!"

Someone exclaimed, "That pose!"

"It's the same pose that Seigaku Fuji used just now."

"Is that guy going to retaliate with the opponent's 'Flying Swallow Returns to Nest' technique?"

"Wow, that's amazing! What an incredible guy."

There's really nothing we can do about him.

"This move is called—The Phoenix Returns to Its Nest!"

Natsume Tsukiya smiled slightly and was the first to reveal the name of the move, instantly eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd: "He said that move is called Phoenix Returns to its Nest?"

"What? Senior Fuji is Flying Swallow, and he's going to use Phoenix?"

"Really? It's not just a different way of saying it, is it?"

"That guy, he really has a set of skills, it's like he has an inexhaustible supply of them."

"Bang!"

The racket was raised high and then lowered, a flash of light, and it disappeared from everyone's sight even faster. With a "snap," Fuji Syusuke was the first to hear the sound. He turned around at lightning speed, and the ball hit a short distance behind him. The ball was flattened and bent by the force, making a sizzling sound.

"call out!!"

A sudden sound.

That ball, unexpectedly, suddenly darted towards his feet like a venomous snake, startling Fuji Syusuke so much that he instinctively jumped.

With a soft thud, the ball struck the net, leaving a trail of broken lines on the floor, like a serpent's movement!

Fuji Syusuke froze on the spot.

Shock!

I was utterly shocked.

I stood there stunned for a long time, feeling a mix of emotions I couldn't quite describe.

The people outside the arena were stunned for a few seconds:

"Wow, that's amazing!" Momoshiro Takeshi exclaimed unconsciously.

Kaoru Kaidou gritted his teeth and angrily said, "What are you talking about?"

Momoshiro Takeshi wouldn't back down: "What, you want to fight? That shot was really powerful!"

"That shot was indeed different from Fuji's Swallow Returns to Its Nest."

Kikumaru Eiji, his brows furrowed with worry, stared at the scene and spoke.

"Oh?" The three little ones turned their heads in unison.

Sadaharu Inui: "Fuji's Swallow Returns to Its Nest is a move that stays close to the ground, flashing towards the baseline of the court in a zigzag pattern."

Takashi Kawamura: "And that guy's Phoenix Returns to the Nest first hits the ball behind the opponent, and then, with the added force of the impact, the ball doesn't go towards the baseline, but instead bounces back towards the center of the net, skimming the ground."

Upon hearing this analysis, the Seigaku members fell silent for a moment.

Atobe Keigo thought to himself, "That's not all. While Fuji of Seigaku is a genius, his 'Flying Swallow Returns to Nest' technique generally involves a certain height above the ground. But that guy's 'Phoenix Returns to Nest,' judging from the marks on the ground, it seems to have skimmed across the surface, like skipping stones on water. What a terrifying guy..."

Ju Juping: "Uh, the phoenix has returned to its nest!"

Guan Yuechu: "Is this an evolved version of the swallow returning to its nest?"

Inoue Mamoru: "Natsume Tsukiya of Hyotei is indeed a very strong man."

Saori Shiba: "Oh no, I forgot to take pictures."

"What?" Inoue Mamoru exclaimed in surprise, "Don't just look, take more pictures!"

Shiba Saori pouted: "Isn't Inoue-senpai the same?"

Wakato Hiroshi: "That guy from Hyotei, he's really going all out. Every time, he has to use a more advanced skill than his opponent. Humph."

Reiji Kamishiro: "I must let him experience my Deep Power sometime."

"Zero to fifteen!"

The referee's voice pulled Fuji Syusuke back from his daze.

"Snapped!"

He raised his hand and launched a ball.

Natsume Tsuki immediately retaliated.

Fuji Syusuke raised his hand again, mimicking the swallow returning to its nest motion.

In short, he wanted to see it again, and he didn't believe he couldn't fight back.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

This time, I could clearly feel that the ball on the racket face was much heavier, and its spin was also a little faster.

However, this is even better for Fuji Syusuke. The Swallow Returns to the Nest requires contact with the opponent's spin, and the stronger the opponent's spin, the more advantageous it is for him.

"It's like swallows returning to their nests again."

"This move doesn't work on Natsume Tsuki anymore. Why is Seigaku's Fuji Syusuke still using it?"

"Oh no, we're doomed to lose. That ball will be floating up in a minute."

"If you're so capable, then that guy from Hyotei shouldn't use the Tezuka Zone."

"Tch~"

While everyone was still arguing, the ball had already shot out.

It darted straight ahead, its movements abrupt and zigzagging, until it reached the back of the field.

"puff!"

With a loud thud, the ball leaped up like a serpent, soaring into the sky.

This scene left everyone bewildered: "Is this a new technique developed by Fuji-senpai?"

"I knew it, Fuji really is a genius of Seigaku."

"Fuji is amazing, he actually managed to develop a new technique at this time."

Fuji Syusuke: "???????"

Various exclamations rang out and reached his ears, all saying that this shot was a newly created technique he used to deal with the home team.

But only Fuji Syusuke knew clearly that he had never developed any new techniques.

Using Flying Swallow Returns to Nest again was simply an attempt to retaliate before the opponent's Phoenix Returns to Nest landed.

Fuji Syusuke was instantly shocked. He suddenly realized that the ball's sudden ascent into the sky was the work of the guy opposite him: "Natsume Tsukiya, did you apply a force to that ball that I couldn't detect?"

Fuji Syusuke's surprise was visible to the naked eye.

The ball floated up, soared into the sky, rolled in a circle, and then fell back down.

"Thump!"

Natsume Tsukiya leaped into the air, soaring over the falling tennis ball.

"He's going to smash!"

On the Seigaku side, Takeshi Momoshiro shouted loudly towards the field, "Fuji-senpai, what a great opportunity!"

His words were a wake-up call for everyone.

Everyone's attention turned to the so-called smash.

Kippei Tachibana: "No way! Syusuke Fuji has a move that specifically counters his smash—Brown Bear Net!!"

Akira Kamio: "It's too late. Judging from that guy's expression, he's thoroughly enjoying that shot."

Ju Xing clasped her hands together: "Will we really face a counterattack?"

Almost everyone knows that Fuji Syusuke's "Brown Bear Net" move is extremely effective against smashes.

This clearly revealed everyone's concerns.

However, many more people are hoping that Natsume Tsuki will also make a different kind of play.

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsukiya's body miraculously tumbled two and a half times in the air, gathering power like a spinning top, before suddenly swinging his wrist and slamming down.

A loud bang was heard.

In the blink of an eye, Fuji Syusuke was so fast that he could barely react. However, he was already prepared when Momoshiro Takeshi reminded him. He turned his body around and used centrifugal force to swing his racket.

*Smack!*

"Pat-pat-pat~"

Two loud bangs, followed by the sound of a racket flying through the air.

Fuji Syusuke stared blankly at his wrist. This move, specifically designed to counter high-pressure smashes, had failed.

My racket got pierced, and my arm is numb!!

"Natsume Tsukiya, what terrifying power!" Fuji Syusuke's pupils trembled.

Previously, when fighting against Ryoma Echizen, he had never experienced this kind of despair; instead, he felt excited.

Now, is this person in front of me really someone I can't do anything about?

"What is that?"

"The racket was hit and flew away."

"What terrifying power."

"Natsume Tsukiya of Hyotei is truly amazing!"

A gasp of surprise, eyes wide with astonishment.

Guan Yuechu: "That guy, he wasn't doing it on purpose, was he?"

Yuuta Fuji: "Mitsuki, are you saying that Natsume Tsuki also deliberately threw that smash?"

Yumiko Fuji turned around and looked at the field.

Guan Yuechu hurriedly analyzed in a serious tone: "In my opinion, that ball wasn't created by Zhou Zhu on the spot, but rather manipulated by him to fly into the sky, in order to allow himself to hit a smash, and also to force Zhou Zhu to use one of the triple returns, the Brown Bear, into the net. In this way, he broke two of Zhou Zhu's triple returns with just one ball!!"

"That's amazing!"

After listening, Fuji Yumiko couldn't help but praise.

Guan Yuechu's remarks quickly caused quite a stir.

"How awful."

Kikumaru Eiji said indignantly, "They actually said that Natsume Tsuki did that in order to use one ball to break Fuji's two special moves. It's infuriating."

Shuichiro Oishi: "Natsume Tsukiya actually has this kind of ability?"

After their initial shock, the members of Seigaku expressed their own opinions.

"If that's the case, it's really scary," Kaidou Kaoru said.

"He actually broke two special moves with just one ball?" Jackal Kuwabara and the others looked at the field in surprise.

Tan Taichi: "Senior Sengoku?"

Sengoku Kiyosumi: "That guy was definitely not to be underestimated. In that case, it's not a big deal if I lose."

"You broke two of my special moves with just one ball?" Fuji Syusuke stood in the middle of the court, looking at his opponent, and thought to himself, "You really are a strong person."

"Zero to thirty!!"

The surprised referee delivered his verdict.

"Tap tap tap!"

Two balls remain.

With two goals remaining, it's match point.

Fuji Syusuke threw a ball into the air.

Both of the previous tricks have been countered, so what about the third one?

"Bang!"

It's the same standard playing style.

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsuki retaliated as well.

"Bang!"

While Fuji Syusuke was still observing, he and Natsume Tsuki exchanged several balls in succession.

He no longer blindly uses his return shot technique.

"Bang!"

"They're here!"

Fuji Syusuke unleashed the final form of his Triple Counterattack: White Whale!

A ball flew towards Natsume Tsukiya, but Fuji Syusuke was immediately stunned.

The ball did not, as expected, pass through the net and float into the sky.

Instead, it seemed to be blocked by something, suddenly spinning in mid-air in front of the net, landing on the net line, and rolling along the net line!

This scene shocked the entire audience once again, and many seated people stood up.

"What happened?" Takeshi Momoshiro gritted his teeth and said, "You couldn't even get past Fuji-senpai's shot?"

"Can't the beluga whale overcome that hurdle?" Inui Sadaharu asked in surprise.

"It's...it's Marui walking the tightrope."

Jackal Kuwabara looked at Marui Bunta in surprise.

Marui Bunta's chewing gum suddenly burst open, sticking to his lips. He looked at the scene in surprise, muttering, "This... how is this possible?!"

Renji Yanagi: "That guy, he hid two variations within one ball again! I don't know what kind of amazing technique he used to block Fuji's White Whale, and even turned it into Marui's tightrope walking technique!"

"Tap tap tap~"

The tennis ball rolled down and landed on Fuji Syusuke's side.

"Go online!!"

The referee made a ruthless announcement.

"Is this correct?"

"Does this count as going online?"

"I guess it counts. A ball that doesn't go over the net is obviously a fault..."

People questioned this definition.

"Bang!"

"A mistake, 0 to 40!"

"!"

"Game: Hyotei Natsume, score 0-5!!"
