The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 147: New Heights of Blood Suit

Faced with Shuji Tanejima's provocation, Maya Yuuki's mentality remained unchanged.

He naturally knew that the opponent's move was just part of his game tactics, but it was ineffective against him.

He is not Genichirō Sanada, and he won't get angry because of just a few words.

Walking back to the receiving area without saying a word, Yuuki Maya calmly assumed a catching posture.

When Shuji Tanejima saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party was a junior high school student but had such a calm mentality.

Maybe the pressure isn't enough?

Shuji Tanejima didn't think much and immediately returned to the baseline to continue serving.

The tennis ball in his hand flew out from his fingertips again, and the action of raising the racket and hitting the ball was completed in an instant.

砰

The tennis ball flew across the net as fast as before and landed at Maya Yuuki's feet in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, looking at the flying tennis ball, the Jingxue Suit was activated without warning, and Maya's arm swung the racket as fast as an afterimage.

call out.

A silver light flashed, and Shuji Tanejima only felt a blurry light and shadow passing through his eyes.

However, his reflexes were extremely sharp, and the moment his vision sensed the light and shadow, his body acted like a conditioned reflex.

He stretched out his racket and caught the ball, only to hear the sound of the tennis ball hitting the racket face.

Then he raised his racket and hit the tennis ball high back to Maya Yuuki's half of the court.

"Phew, that was really thrilling. Luckily I reacted quickly enough." After hitting the ball back, Shuji Tanejima secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The tennis ball flew high up and then slowly fell down, looking as if it was about to fly out of bounds.

But Yuuki Maya saw through this illusion at a glance. The spin on the tennis ball was clearly visible to him.
Move behind the point where the tennis ball lands, and swing the racket when the tennis ball falls to a certain height.

咻

The tennis ball was hit back again, and the two sides entered into a tug-of-war phase again.

There were bursts of close hitting sounds, and compared to the first ball, the movements of both sides were not as conservative as before.

Maya Yuuki took the initiative in attacking, and her complicated ball paths were hit in all directions of the opponent's court again and again.

And Shuji Tanejima was always able to react in time and hit the tennis ball at a point that made Maya Yuuki uncomfortable.

"Is this the defensive pressure that Gui faced at the time? Why does it feel even more severe than what I saw?"

Even though Shuji Tanejima seemed to defend every ball perfectly, the pressure he faced was not small.

If it were an ordinary offensive player, he would have lost points long ago facing his tricky return routes.

But the guy on the opposite side was so fast that his eyes sometimes couldn't catch his trace.

He was clearly in the frontcourt the previous second, but in the blink of an eye, he was in the backcourt to receive the ball.

It feels like there are no blind spots.

pat.

The sound of the tennis ball hitting the wire mesh was heard. As Yuuki Maya's return rhythm became faster and faster, Shuji Tanejima, who was distracted for a moment, returned a low-quality ball, but he seized the loophole and smashed it.

The tennis ball passed between Shuji Tanejima's legs and bounced off the ground, and was caught by Maya Yuuki.

"Yuuki scores, 15-15."

The game was tied, and everyone outside the stadium felt that the game on the field seemed to be in two different dimensions compared to other games in the training camp.

It was just the second ball, but it was already full of tension.

After seeing that he had lost points, Shuji Tanejima shook his head slightly. The distraction just now was a surprise to him.

It has been a long time since he played such a high-intensity game, and his condition has not yet fully adjusted to the best.

On the other side, after seeing her own score, Yuuki Maya's expression did not change and she turned back as usual.

The two sides tacitly agreed not to exchange any words, and Shuji Tanejima served again. This time, after serving, Shuji Tanejima immediately focused his attention on Maya Yuuki, guarding against the opponent's sudden attack.

As expected, the sharp silver light reflected back at a high speed. Shuji Tanejima raised his arm and swung his racket. The moment he received the ball, his body paused and then hit the ball back.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Shuji Tanejima felt that the force on the tennis ball just now seemed to be stronger.

His eyes turned to Maya Yuuki. He felt that the mysterious blue lines on the other's body were thicker than before.

砰

砰

砰

...

The back-and-forth tug-of-war lasted for more than ten minutes, with the scores on both sides very close. Then, in the eyes of everyone who was a little surprised, the winner of the first game was decided.

"Game, Yuuki Maya is leading, the score is 1-0."

Kijujiro looked surprised, this result seemed to be beyond his expectations.

This first game seemed dull, but only when one reached his level of strength could one see the dangerous game hidden beneath the calm.

In his eyes, although Shuji Tanejima looked calm on the surface, he had actually already used 60% of his strength.

As someone who had fought with Maya Yuuki before, he also had an estimate of the opponent's strength in his current state, which was roughly 60% of his own strength.

However, at that time, in addition to using this ability which he himself called [Blood Suit], Yuuki Maya also used many other skills to tie with his 60% strength.

But now, the opponent was able to tie with Shuji Tanejima, who had 60% of his strength, just by activating his blood equipment without using any other skills, and even had a slight advantage.

This made Onijūjiro extremely surprised. He was not surprised that the opponent suppressed Shujima Tanejima, but that in just over ten days after fighting with him, Maya Yuuki not only mastered the limit of perfection, but also made great progress in her own abilities.

You know, people with the strength of Oni Jujiro will basically slowly fall into a bottleneck period. If they want to make great progress, apart from relying on the accumulation of time, probably only a sudden enlightenment can break through this bottleneck.

However, this limitation does not seem to exist on Maya Yuuki. Her strength seems to be growing by leaps and bounds every day and has not reached the so-called limit.

"As expected, she is someone that even Coach Mifune values. She is truly extraordinary." Kijujiro once again refreshed his understanding of Yuuki Maya.

After the first game, the two sides exchanged venues.

The blood-stained armor on her body did not close for a moment, and Yuuki Maya stood calmly at the bottom line.

Looking at the blood-colored armor lines that were even thicker than before, Yuuki Maya understood that all this was due to the fact that he had conquered half of the second portrait trial in the spiritual world and received feedback on his abilities.

Although this ability feedback did not provide any new skills, it strengthened the three powers in his body.

Moreover, after strengthening the power of the Quincy, Yuuki Maya discovered that he originally needed to manually switch between the static blood equipment and dynamic blood equipment modes.

But now, the two modes have been integrated, and when turned on, both static and dynamic effects can be obtained at the same time.

The blood suit has entered a new level. After he activated the blood suit, the improvement he got was naturally greater than before.

I'm afraid that Jujiro never imagined that all of this started when Maya Yuuki absorbed his fortitude through the Star Seal.

……

The second round begins.

In this game, Yuuki Maya's serving skills were not used at all, only ordinary serving skills.

The dull second game started after this serve, and it was still a fierce confrontation, with the scores on both sides rising alternately.

There were no outstanding skills, and both sides seemed to want to make the other side lose patience and change tactics first.

15-0
15-15
15-30
30-30
……

"Game, we took the lead, the score was 2-0."

This round ended faster than the first one, and it was still Yuuki Maya who scored two goals in a row to win the game.

Looking at Tanejima Shuji who was preparing to serve with no change in expression, Yuuki Maya smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak, imitating the tone of the other party who wanted to provoke him before and said:

"Senior Tanejima, if this is all you have, you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible."
