#151 - Echizen Ryoma: It was really dangerous. I almost died.
“Heh…”
Yukimura chuckled softly, his figure hidden in the dust.
Suddenly, a purple figure burst out of the dust.
Just as Ryoga Echizen swung his racket to hit the tennis ball back, the ball instantly accelerated.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flew out from Ryoga Echizen's side like a flash of lightning.
Crack!
The tennis ball hit the wall, and a faint cracking sound suddenly rang out.
Boom!
In the next moment, the wall collapsed, and rubble scattered all over the ground.
Crash! The rubble fell to other places, making crisp sounds.
“That was dangerous—very dangerous—”
The dust dissipated, and Ryoga Echizen's figure appeared in Yukimura's eyes, looking at the opposite Yukimura with an exaggerated tone.
Yukimura's purple eyes narrowed slightly.
“You really are a monster!!”
Ryoga Echizen sighed, the current Yukimura was completely different from the Yukimura before.
The difference in strength was too great!
“However, I really hate the feeling of losing—”
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from Ryoga Echizen.
“I also hate the feeling of losing a match—so, I won’t lose!!”
A hint of a smile appeared in Yukimura's purple eyes, and an aura no weaker than Ryoga Echizen's emanated from him.
Boom boom boom! The two auras seemed to collide in the air, finally erupting into a terrifying tremor.
Baseline.
Ryoga Echizen held the tennis ball in his hand, bouncing it with his racket, the crisp sound of it landing slowly echoing.
In an instant, the aura around Ryoga Echizen became strange.
Then, Ryoga Echizen took the tennis ball in his hand, flicked his wrist, and quickly tossed the tennis ball up.
Whoosh! The moment the racket swung, it instantly struck the tennis ball.
The tennis ball racket struck the tennis ball, and the sound of the hit was transmitted.
The strings continued to sink, and finally, the ball flew out fiercely from the racket.
Whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a bolt of lightning, instantly landing beside Yukimura's feet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Suddenly, a terrifying strong wind appeared on the court.
Yukimura's purple hair fluttered, and his clothes rustled in the wind.
The next second, Yukimura's whole person was like a leopard catching its prey.
Step! Yukimura took a step, and his figure had disappeared from the spot.
When Yukimura's figure reappeared, he had already raised the racket in his hand.
Bang! The tennis ball fell into the racket, and a dull sound was immediately transmitted.
A terrifying force spread along the racket to Yukimura's arm.
Squeak! Instantly, the racket began to tremble violently, and ear-piercing sounds continued to ring out.
Yukimura lowered his center of gravity, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.
Immediately after, all the strength of Yukimura's body gathered on his arm.
Whoosh! A sound of tearing through the air suddenly erupted, instantly flying towards Ryoga Echizen's court.
The air seemed to be torn apart at this moment, and the tennis ball landed heavily like a streamer.
Thud! The tennis ball slammed into the ground, and a muffled sound instantly spread out.
Dust rose again.
Ryoga Echizen's eyes narrowed, his entire center of gravity lowered, and his strength was constantly accumulating.
A stream of light flashed in Ryoga Echizen's eyes.
Boom! The moment the racket hit the tennis ball, the tennis ball burst out like a bullet.
Without any pause, it rushed out quickly.
In just an instant, Yukimura's figure moved.
His footsteps quickly retreated, his racket turned, and he quickly hit the tennis ball.
A dull sound suddenly rang out.
Ryoga Echizen's pupils slightly narrowed, Yukimura had received this ball before it even landed.
“This ball—try to hit it back!”
Yukimura chuckled softly, and in an instant, he quickly smashed the tennis ball out.
Ryoga Echizen turned his feet and ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball.
However, the tennis ball, which was originally following its original trajectory, suddenly changed direction.
Ryoga Echizen's body immediately reacted, with his right foot as the center, his body quickly changed direction,
The racket was switched to the other hand.
But—
It was too late!
Thud! After the tennis ball landed, it instantly flew out from Ryoga Echizen's side.
“0:30!”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yukimura's mouth.
Ryoga Echizen looked at the ball mark beside his feet, his face solemn.
“As expected, it’s really interesting to compete with you!!”
He didn't show any frustration on his face, but said with a smile.
Yukimura smiled.
When he first met Ryoga Echizen, he was indeed not his opponent.
But now, there have been huge changes between the two.
Moreover, since the end of the U-17 World Cup, Yukimura has not really played a serious match.
Now in the match with Ryoga Echizen, Yukimura can feel that the speed of blood flow in his body is starting to increase.
Baseline, Ryoga Echizen once again tossed the tennis ball in his hand high.
Whoosh! Ryoga Echizen's right arm raised and quickly struck the tennis ball.
The sound of breaking through the air rang out.
The ball speed increased again!
The momentum on Yukimura and Ryoga Echizen's bodies was also constantly rising, their strength was also constantly increasing, and their speed was gradually increasing.
Boom boom boom! A series of vibrations continued to sound.
The entire court seemed to vibrate.
In an instant, Yukimura's figure accelerated again, and a purple figure appeared as an afterimage in Ryoga Echizen's eyes.
“The warm-up is over—”
“Next, you have to show your true strength, right?”
Yukimura's voice reached Ryoga Echizen's ears.
“What a terrifying opponent!” Ryoga Echizen stared at Yukimura on the opposite side, and a chill rose in his heart.
Suddenly, the aura on Ryoga Echizen's body changed, and his eyes became sharp.
A faint white light emanated from his body.
The Realm of Selflessness!
Yukimura paused when he saw this scene.
Immediately afterwards, the light of the Realm of Selflessness seemed to form armor, wrapping Ryoga Echizen!
The first door of the Realm of Selflessness, the Pinnacle of a Thousand Polished Skills!
It can double the opponent's return ball and counterattack.
Boom! Suddenly, a terrifying vibration sounded.
The tennis ball rushed towards Yukimura with more terrifying spin and power than before.
Yukimura's expression changed slightly.
He knew that Ryoga Echizen was going to get serious.
Thinking of this, Yukimura curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.
Immediately, his figure disappeared from the spot.
When Yukimura reappeared, he had already arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball, raised the racket in his hand, aimed at the tennis ball and swung it down!
Thud! The tennis ball entered the racket, and a dull momentum spread out. A shocking air current centered on Yukimura set off a thick cloud of dust.
Crack!
In the next moment, a huge hole instantly appeared in the wall behind Yukimura.
Rubble exploded and scattered onto the court.
A powerful airflow emanated from Yukimura's surroundings, instantly blowing away the dust.
Immediately afterwards, Yukimura's arm trembled slightly, and he instantly hit the tennis ball back.
Step step! Ryoga Echizen's figure instantly appeared in front of the net, a faint white light on his body, instantly gathering on his right hand.
