The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 181: Dashi Territory, the Imitation That Shocked Everyone
Snapped!
Kikumaru Eiji had no time to dodge and was hit hard on the cheek by the powerful tennis ball.

Under the panicked gazes of everyone in Seigaku, Kikumaru Eiji, who was hit, fell directly to the ground.

"Eiji!"

Shuichiro Oishi ran over nervously, wanting to check on his partner.

"Yazhi, you didn't do this on purpose..."

Yagyu Hiroshi slowly walked to the front of the net and looked at Kikumaru Eiji who was lying on the ground opposite him, and said in a doubtful tone.

"Pfft, I don't have such an idea. Who made him so anxious to get rid of me?" Niou Masaharu seemed also surprised and shrugged helplessly.

He just wanted to play a little with the other party on a whim, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Really? I'll just believe what you said is true for now."

He was still skeptical about what Niou said, but the most important thing right now was whether this game could continue.

Yagyu Hiroshi looked in the direction of Kikumaru Eiji, but the moment he looked over, the situation on the opposite side changed.

Kikumaru Eiji seemed to have been resurrected. He suddenly stood upside down and landed with a backflip.

"I won't be knocked down like this!" After getting up, Kikumaru Eiji was still full of energy, as if the previous blow had not caused any effect on him.

Seeing his partner like this, Oishi Shuichiro breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, after the referee confirmed the situation on the field, he immediately signaled for the game to continue.

"Niou, stop playing around and execute your tactics."

Yagyu Hiroshi reminded before returning to the backcourt, but the latter did not respond, but just smiled slightly.

Although there was an accident in the previous goal, the referee still ruled that Rikkai University scored based on the definition of a chase ball.

After another serve, the tug-of-war between the two sides started again.

However, after a few rounds in this game, Oishi Shuichiro found that his opponent's ball path began to target him intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only Oishi felt this, but everyone else in Qingxue also noticed it.

"They want to replicate the tactics used against Oishi and Kikumaru last year." Inui Sadaharu said immediately.

"That's right. Although the two people who fought against Oishi and his team last year were not these two, it is obvious that they still have this plan." Fuji Shusuke followed.

"What should we do? Are the seniors going to be defeated in the same way again?!"

Momoshiro Takeshi's face turned pale with panic. He was also present at the scene last year and of course knew what the consequences would be if the opponent's tactics were successful.

"Don't worry, Oishi and Kikumaru won't be defeated by this tactic anymore. They have already secretly prepared a way to deal with it."

Seeing the worry of the team members, Ryuzaki Sumire comforted them with confidence.

"Hey - do the seniors have any secret weapons? When?" Momoshiro Takeshi asked in surprise. They were obviously training together, so how could he not know about this?

"Just keep watching and you'll know." Ryuzaki Sumire said with a smile, without further explanation.

On the court, Rikkai University's tactics were implemented and results were quickly achieved.

"Game, Rikkai University scored, the score is 2-0."

In just ten minutes, Niou and Yagyu won two games in a row.

"Kikumaru, use that one."

After losing two games in a row, before Kikumaru Eiji served, Oishi Shuichiro said seriously.

"Ah."

Kikumaru Eiji nodded seriously, knowing that if he didn't use it, the situation would only become more dangerous.

While the two players from Qingxue were taking their positions, Yagyu, who was already in the front court, raised his eyebrows.

His intuition told him that the two people opposite him suddenly exuded an aura that was completely different from before, as if they were about to do something beyond their expectations.

Looking at Kikumaru who was about to serve, Yagyu thought, "Let me see what tricks you guys are going to play."

A few breaths later, at the baseline of Seigaku, Kikumaru Eiji started serving.

However, after he hit the tennis ball, he did not exchange positions with Oishi as usual.

Kikumaru, who was in charge of the main attack, remained in the backcourt, while Oishi, who was in charge of the backcourt defense, stood calmly in front of the net. "What a messed up formation..." Yagyu couldn't help complaining in his heart when he saw the opponent's mess.

The swinging action of his racket was not affected at all, and it was still a sharp through ball, trying to hit it directly into Qingxue's backcourt.

"Eiji, it's the backhand corner."

Oishi Shuichiro stared at the return ball and shouted without looking back.

Kikumaru Eiji did not respond in the backcourt, but as Oishi was shouting, his body moved to the position where Oishi was shouting.

"Kikumaru—Beam!"

A beam of light instantly hit the unguarded sideline between the front and back courts of Rikkai University.

"Qingxue scores, 15-0."

Unable to catch up, Yagyu could only watch the tennis ball fall out of bounds for the second time. He turned around and looked at the two people from Qingxue opposite with a scrutinizing look.

Just from this one goal, we can see that the opponent's formation was definitely not a random idea that came up on the spur of the moment, but was obviously premeditated.

The situation that followed was beyond everyone's expectations.

In the eyes of others, the golden combination who changed the formation without authorization was catching up and gradually turned the disadvantageous situation around.

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

"Game, Qingxue scores, the score is 4-2."

When the referee's voice fell, the audience around him exclaimed.

"As expected of the golden combination of Qingxue, they actually overtook the score in such a situation!"

"It feels like the situation is gradually being taken over by the doubles team of Qingxue!"

"They work together so well. If they keep going like this, maybe they can..."

Ryuuzaki Sumire sat in the coaching booth and watched everything that happened on the field. She explained to the others who were still in the dark with a look of relief, "Fortunately they were able to finish it before the finals. This is the super offensive formation that the Golden Combination prepared for this tournament, the Oishi Domain."

"With Oishi as the core, let him stand in the front court to block part of the opponent's offensive path. At the same time, after determining the opponent's offensive route, he will immediately notify Kikumaru to quickly counterattack."

After finishing speaking, Ryuzaki Sumire secretly sighed that this kind of tactics can only be perfectly implemented by a golden combination with unparalleled tacit understanding and mutual trust.

"Pfft, it seems like we've been tricked, Yagyu."

In the backcourt, Niou Masaharu shrugged his shoulders pretending to have a headache, but there was no trace of nervousness in his tone after being overtaken in the score.

"Indeed, the tactics arranged by the military advisor have failed, so what do you plan to do next?" Yagyu responded calmly.

"Really? Looks like we need to get serious. These two guys are no longer characters that can be easily dealt with."

Niou Masaharu scratched his head. The golden combination of Seigaku on the opposite side was the most difficult combination they had encountered in this Kanto Conference.

"Let's solve it in one go and finish the game early, otherwise Sanada will be unhappy again." While Niou Masaharu was muttering to himself, one hand took out a silver bracelet from his pocket.

He put the bracelet on his left hand silently, and glanced obscurely at the direction of Rikkai University's preparations for battle behind him.

The sixth game began. At this moment, Niou Masaharu was already standing at the baseline, ready to serve.

She gracefully threw the tennis ball into the air, and the silver bracelet on her wrist swayed with it, reflecting a crystal sparkle under the sunlight.

嗖

The swinging racket hit the falling tennis ball, and a blue-white arrow of light instantly tore through the air, passing through the court like a stream of light, and exploded at Kikumaru Eiji's feet.

"This is?!!!"

When Niou Masaharu's serve appeared, countless pairs of eyes were stunned.

Because they are extremely familiar with this serve.

When everyone in Seigaku looked at Niou Masaharu with surprise and doubt who had hit the serve, after their gazes shifted away, their expressions all revealed an expression of disbelief.

At the bottom line of Rikkai halfway point, Niou Masaharu had disappeared, and in his place, a black-haired boy stood there with a stern expression.

The young man restrained his serve and said with a slight smile: "I hope you won't waste too much of my time."
