Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 613 The rules of victory have been determined! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Kogoro, that move of yours was really powerful. The power and angle were both very well controlled. I had to use all my strength just now to barely catch it."

Hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Ayashiro Yukio smiled slightly, his eyes showing a trace of calmness, as if the thrilling scene just now was just a piece of cake. He patted the racket lightly, his tone calm but with a bit of confidence, "But..."

He deliberately dragged out the ending tone and flicked the ping-pong ball twice on the table. The crisp sound of the flicks was particularly clear in the quiet billiard room. "It's not that easy to defeat me."

He suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes became as sharp as an eagle, "In the next round, I will use all my strength, I hope you won't let me down!"

Maori Kogoro took a deep breath, calmed his inner emotions, raised his head, looked at Ayashiro Yukio firmly, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and said loudly: "Yukio, just wait and see! In the next round, I will let you see what real strength is!"

His voice echoed in the billiard room, "That was just a warm-up. Next time, I will never give you any chances! I will use my racket to fight a beautiful counterattack and win back everything I lost in this game!"

I made all these big promises, but in the end I lost because of my own mistakes.

What’s even more embarrassing is that his daughter and future son-in-law were watching right beside him.

Such things made him feel hot on his face, as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and his self-esteem was greatly hurt.

In the next round, he must not make any more mistakes. He must let his old classmate Ayashiro Yukio see his true strength. He must also let his daughter and his future son-in-law Bai Ye know that he, Maori Kogoro, is not a man of reputation in vain!
When Ayashiro Yukio heard this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more obvious: "Oh, then I'll wait and see."

As he was thinking, he was pondering the tactics for the next round in his mind. He knew that Kogoro Mori would not give up and the next game would definitely be more difficult, but this also made him more excited. Such an equally matched opponent could truly inspire his fighting spirit, make his blood boil, and fill his body with strength.

After that, he gently pinched the ball between his index finger and thumb and threw it upwards. The ball drew a short and beautiful parabola in the air, just like a fleeting meteor in the night sky. At the moment when the ball reached the top, he flicked his wrist lightly, and his movements were light and smooth. With a light serve, it drew a beautiful arc and went straight to Maori Kogoro's forehand position.

Maori Kogoro quickly adjusted his posture, planting his feet firmly on the ground, like a pine tree, rooted in the earth, unmoving. With his knees slightly bent and his body leaning forward, he was fully prepared.

His heart was beating violently in his chest, he was nervous and excited, and his mind kept recalling his past wonderful batting moments to cheer himself up.

While cheering himself up, he did not forget to closely follow the flying ball, his eyes full of concentration and determination.

Just as the ball was about to arrive, he decisively swung his racket to hit it forward. The moment the racket collided with the ball, a crisp and pleasant sound was made. This sound was like the charge horn of this fierce battle, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire billiard room.

The two were once again in a fierce battle, the ping-pong ball flew across the table, drawing dazzling arcs, and each hit was wrapped with powerful force and precise skills. The audience around was fascinated, their eyes fixed on the table, afraid to miss any wonderful moment.

As they watched, Kogoro Mori's attack was like a storm, with each move being ferocious, as he tried to suppress Yukio Ayaki with his powerful firepower.

"1:0!"

However, Ayashiro Yukio is like a solid mountain. No matter how tricky the opponent's ball is, he can always resolve the crisis with a clever counterattack, and even seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

“1:1!”

"2:1!"

"2:2!"

As the game continued, the fierce confrontation was like a raging fire, constantly consuming the physical strength of both of them. Maori Kogoro's breathing became increasingly rapid, his chest rose and fell violently, and every swing of the racket was accompanied by heavy gasps; Ayashiro Yukio's forehead was also covered with beads of sweat, sliding down his cheeks, and the muscles of his arms were trembling slightly due to the long-term exertion.

Sweat had already soaked their clothes, sticking tightly to their bodies, outlining the lines of their muscles that were tense from exertion. But at this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had disappeared from their eyes, leaving only the small white ball that was flying across the table, and their fiery and persistent desire for victory.

"2:3!"

"3:3!"

The score between the two sides became closer and closer, and every ball could decide the outcome. Nakamichi and Zhi's score announcement made the atmosphere even more tense.

Suddenly, the tense atmosphere filled the entire hall again. The air seemed to be ignited by the fierce battle and became boiling hot. The audience held their breath, not daring to make a sound. Their eyes followed the trajectory of the ball, and their hearts were hanging in the air.

"Come on, Dad!"

In the silence, Mao Lilan's clear and loud voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere. She put her hands to her mouth, forming a trumpet shape, her face flushed, and her eyes flashed with trust and expectation for her father.

"Uncle Maori... come on!" Bai Ye clenched his fists slightly. Although his voice was not as loud as Maori Ran's, the determination and support revealed in his eyes remained undiminished. He was silently cheering for his future father-in-law.

"Ayashiro, you are the best!" On the other side, Ayashiro Noriko excitedly waved the towel in her hand, a proud smile on her face, and her voice was full of admiration and encouragement for Ayashiro Yukio.

"Xingxiong, come on! Don't lose!"

Beside her, Jun Omura was cheering loudly for his old classmate. His voice became a little hoarse with excitement, but the support for his old classmate in it was undiminished.

Of course, as they are all old classmates, the reason why he only cheered and encouraged Ayashiro Yukio and did not support Mouri Kogoro, who is also his old classmate, is not because he and Ayashiro Yukio have a better relationship among old classmates, nor is it because he thinks Mouri Kogoro’s skills are not good and there is no point in supporting him.

The main reason is that his other old classmate Nakamichi Kazushi is currently serving as a referee, and it would be difficult for him to favor one side of the game and cheer for it.

On the other hand, Kogoro Mouri has the support of his sweet friend Ran Mouri and his future son-in-law Byakuya, who cheer him on. But if Yukio Ayashiro only had Noriko Ayashiro cheering him on, then, let alone other things, there would be a serious imbalance in momentum, which would not be acceptable.

You know, only a contest between evenly matched opponents is the most entertaining and interesting.

Especially when both sides are equally strong and their supporters are equally enthusiastic, this game can create the most intense sparks and become an indelible wonderful moment in everyone's memory.

If the support for one side is too weak, the excitement and excitement of the game will be greatly reduced and become boring. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the game and add a raging fire to the confrontation, making it burn more fiercely and more exciting and interesting, at this critical moment, Omura Jun felt that he had no choice but to step forward.

Thinking of this, he suddenly straightened his back, his chest heaving violently, took a deep breath, and once again mustered all his strength, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Xingxiong, come on! Let's see how good you are!"

Hearing the words of encouragement from those around them, Kogoro Mori and Yukio Ayashiro, who were tied again, suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other. Intense sparks instantly burst out in their eyes, and these sparks crackled and jumped, with mutual admiration for each other's strength and a fighting spirit that was completely ignited.

"call……"

Kogoro Mouri took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently. He gripped the racket tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he wanted to concentrate all his body's strength in this grip.

His daughter and future son-in-law support him so much, and as an elder, he absolutely cannot let them down!
Not to mention, if he really got slapped in the face in front of his daughter and future son-in-law, then Kogoro Mori would be too ashamed to face anyone again!
In order to avoid such a miserable ending, he cannot lose no matter what!
Keenly capturing the flaming fighting spirit on Kogoro Mori's face, Yukio Ayashiro narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife Noriko Ayashiro who was standing beside him.

I saw her face flushed, waving the towel excitedly, and shouting "Come on!" all the time. She looked like she wanted to shout with all her strength.

Beside her, her old classmate Jun Omura was also cheering for him at the top of his lungs, and every cheer was filled with passion.

The deafening cheers from the two men instantly turned into an invisible yet powerful force, which continuously flowed into Ayashiro Yukio's body through the air, filling him with fighting spirit and igniting every cell in his body.

He had originally thought that with the presence of the two young people, Bai Ye and Mao Li Ran, he should give Mao Li Kogoro some leeway out of consideration, so as not to embarrass his old classmate. But now, his wife and old classmates were so enthusiastic in supporting him, it would be unreasonable for him to hold back.

Very good, it has been decided. Next, he must show his strongest ability in front of his wife and old classmates, make them proud of him, and never let them down for the trust and support they have given him!
Thinking of this, Ayashiro Yukio raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile full of fighting spirit.

……

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Ayashiro Yukio calmed his inner waves, then he gently picked up the ball and shook his wrist at the moment of throwing it up.

The next moment, the white ball drew a strange arc and went straight to Kogoro Mori's backhand with a strong side spin.

"Snapped!"

Maori Kogoro took a step forward and intercepted the ball with his racket at a tricky angle. The two of them immediately launched a breathtaking fast attack. The ping-pong ball turned into a white lightning on the blue table. The sound of the collision was like a dense drumbeat, which made the heartbeats of everyone present involuntarily synchronize with it.

“4:3!”

“4:4!”

The scores rose alternately, and the tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly covering the entire billiard room.

Sweat rolled down the chins of Kogoro Mori and Yukio Ayashiro in strings, hitting the floor and leaving dark marks, as if telling of the intensity of the battle.

Kogoro Mouri's shirt had already been soaked with sweat, sticking wetly to his back, but the flame of fighting spirit in his eyes became increasingly intense, as if it was going to set the whole world on fire.

After cleverly deceiving his opponent with a fake move, Kogoro Maori seized the opportunity, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly changed direction and hit a beautiful textbook-level edge ball, successfully winning the key point.

"Dad, good shot!" Mao Li Ran's face turned red with excitement, and she couldn't help cheering loudly. Her voice was clear and loud, instantly breaking the tense silence and making Mao Li Kogoro's fighting spirit even higher.

Seeing this, Ayashiro Noriko immediately cheered for her husband and said, "Yukio, show him your special moves!"

Ayashiro Yukihiro understood what he meant, and when he received the next serve, his eyes suddenly changed and he suddenly changed the rhythm.

Maori Kogoro subconsciously reacted according to past experience, moving his feet quickly and adjusting his body to the best batting position. But he never expected that Ayashiro Yukio's slice seemed soft and weak, like catkins in the wind, soft and soothing, but with a strange swirl that made it hard to defend against.

The moment the ball touched the racket, it changed its original trajectory as if by magic and bounced back at an elusive angle.

Kogoro Mori widened his eyes, quickly adjusted his body, and moved his feet in a panic, trying to return the ball again.

But the rotation of the ball was so strange that his racket slipped a little the moment it touched the ball.

He made a misjudgment and could only watch helplessly as the ball flew out of bounds like a wild horse after hitting the racket with a dull loud bang.

“5:4!”

Nakamichi Kazushi's voice rang out like a huge bell, echoing in the hall, and the already tense atmosphere froze in an instant.

"!!!"

The audience around exclaimed, amazed at the unexpected ball path.

As the wife of Yukio Ayashiro, Noriko Ayashiro waved the towel in her hand excitedly and cheered for her husband loudly: "Beautiful, Yukio!"

Omura Jun also jumped up excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously: "Good shot, worthy of Yukio!"

Their voices intertwined, forming a wave of frenzied sound, like a heavy hammer, hitting Maori Kogoro's heart hard, leaving his eyes full of resentment and regret...
