The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 170: King Ren's Psychological Warfare
At the bottom line, Feng Changtaro looked at the opposite side with a focused expression.

The fifth game begins and he will be the one serving in this round.

Somehow, Feng Changtaro felt some invisible pressure pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe steadily.

"One ball into the soul!"

Hou Changtaro used his famous serve skill as before, but the tennis ball flew out at high speed but did not cross the opponent's half of the court, but hit the net instead.

"Feng, take it easy and don't be nervous. Calm down first."

After the first serve error, Shishido Ryo immediately turned around and spoke with concern in the front court.

He knew Hou Changtaro's character very well, and this mistake was definitely due to the opponent's condition.

"I understand, Shishido-senpai."

Feng Changtaro was naturally aware of the reason for his mistake. He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed his unstable emotions.

He tossed the ball again, his eyes fixed on the rising tennis ball, bent his knees, jumped up, swung the racket, and hit it hard.

However, this time, Hou Changtaro's serve still did not cross the net.

"Double faults, Rikkai University scores, the score is 0-15."

Seeing that his second serve was still the same, Feng Changtaro bit his lower lip, very dissatisfied with his own mistakes.

Walking to the other side of the baseline, he prepared to serve again.

Hou Changtaro looked at Niou Masaharu who was standing in the front court opposite him. The latter had a faint smile on his face, as if he was mocking him for his double serve errors.

After glancing at him, Hou Changtaro turned his gaze to Yagyu Hiroshi in the backcourt, and his brows couldn't help but frowned.

He didn't know whether the two players from Rikkai University did it intentionally or unintentionally, but since the last ball, the opponent's position was right on his most comfortable serving route.

"One ball into the soul!"

Hou Changtaro served again, but just like the previous ball, his powerful serve hit the net again.

The same thing happened with the second shot.

"Double faults, Rikkai University scores, the score is 0-30."

Four consecutive serving errors brought great psychological pressure to Feng Changtaro.

"Feng, don't be too obsessed with targeting the opponent's weak defensive areas. Just attack head-on."

After two rounds of serving, Shishido Ryo had already seen the problem with Houchotaro's serving errors.

For several consecutive times, Feng Changtaro deliberately avoided the opponent's direct landing area, and the ball paths he hit were not in his comfort zone.

Shishido Ryo's words immediately awakened Houchotaro. He immediately came to his senses and realized that he had just stepped into a trap secretly set by Rikkai University.

"That's right. Even if they know the route of my serve, they definitely can't hit it back. I don't need to avoid it."

Feng Changtaro understood the situation in his mind and gradually calmed down his annoyance.

The third round of serving began. This time, Hou Changtaro did not repeat the same mistake. The tennis ball flew into Rikkai University's half of the court like a cannonball.

"Have it!"

Shishido Ryo was delighted to see the ball was successfully kicked out.

However, before a smile could appear on his face, the next scene made his expression change.

On the opposite side, Niou Masaharu was a little surprised as he looked at the tennis ball flying towards him at high speed.

"I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. What a pity, but..."

Seeing that the ball was about to fly out of bounds after landing at his feet, Niou Masaharu swung the racket in his hand as the tennis ball bounced.

砰

The sound of the ball hitting the target was heard, and the tennis ball flew back quickly and landed on the diagonal sideline of Shishido Ryo, and flew out of the court along the white line.

"Game, Rikkai University scored, the score is 0-40."

The referee immediately announced the score, but Bingdi and the other man were not thinking about it at all.

"Feng's serve... was figured out so quickly?!" Shishido Ryo was shocked. He looked at Niou Masaharu who was still swinging his racket opposite him with an incredulous look.

Houchotaro had the same expression as Shishido Ryo, and his face also changed slightly.

Then, as expected, Hou Changtaro's next serve was also received by Yagyu Hiroshi, who was responsible for receiving this ball.

"Game, Rikkai University is leading, score 3 to 2."

After Hyotei's serve was broken, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, something the audience on the scene had never expected.

Afterwards, in the subsequent games, the speed at which points were lost became even faster and could not be stopped at all.

15 is better than 0
30 is better than 0
40 is better than 0
4 is better than 2
……

"Game, Rikkai University scored, the score is 5-2."

The total time was no more than twenty minutes, and Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiro easily widened the score.

Outside the court, the Qingxue people who were watching the whole process, their originally relaxed mood gradually became solemn as the game progressed.

"This pair of Hyotei were beaten to the point where they had no power to fight back..."

As Oishi and Kikumaru are also doubles players, they can feel that Hyotei's doubles team is extremely powerful, and even better than them in some aspects.

However, even such a strong doubles team lost so quickly in front of Rikkai University.

"Hyotei...is really going to be eliminated." Inui Sadaharu announced in advance that Hyotei's journey to the Kanto Conference has ended.

"Eh? That's not right, Senior Qian. Doesn't Hyotei still have a game to play next? If they win the next game, maybe they still have a chance?" Momoshiro Takeshi retorted.

However, after Takeshi Momoshiro's words, Tezuka and other regular players who participated in last year's competition all shook their heads.

"What an idiot!"

Even Kaidou Kaoru, who usually doesn't talk much, couldn't help but sneer silently.

How could he be selected alongside such a fool?

"You stinky snake, are you looking for trouble?" Momoshiro Takeshi still didn't realize his own problem.

On the contrary, Echizen Ryoma, who joined this year, seemed to be keenly aware of the key point. He adjusted the brim of his hat and said firmly:

"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Qian means that if Monkey King's team can't even win the doubles, they will lose even more miserably in the singles, right?"

"You're right Echizen, Hyotei is now facing the same situation as last year's finals."

Inui Sadaharu was quite surprised that Echizen Ryoma could guess the truth without any information.

"According to my judgment, in the next singles match, Rikkai University will definitely send one of the Big Four to end the game. Hyotei - has no chance."

Inui Sadaharu slowly stated his prediction, and at this time, the game off the court also came to the last round.

The eighth game, Rikkai University's serve.

Niou Masaharu stood at the baseline preparing to serve, while opposite him, Houchotaro stood in the receiving area, waiting for the ball to arrive.

Even though they had reached the match point of Rikkai University, the two players from Hyotei were not discouraged and were still full of fighting spirit.

Of course, Niou Masaharu on the opposite side also noticed this. There was a fox smile on his face, and it seemed that he had made up his mind.

After the referee's signal, Niou Masaharu threw the ball high up, then bent his knees, jumped up and swung the racket in his hand.

"This is?!!"

On the opposite side, Hou Changtaro was startled. He felt that Niou Masaharu's actions were inexplicably familiar.

砰

The tennis ball exploded at Houchotaro's feet like a cannonball and hit the wall outside the court.

After serving, Niou Masaharu still maintained the serving action and imitated the opening words:

"One ball in, soul."
