The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 305 The gap in absolute strength

The ball of light came towards him, containing a strong and domineering force.

Ryoma Echizen's expression suddenly became solemn, and at this moment, he made a judgment without any hesitation.

A bright green light gushed out from his body, and the seamless light turned into a gauze dress that instantly enveloped him.

Then, Echizen Ryoma held the racket with both hands and faced the ball of light head-on.

咚

A violent collision sound was heard from the racket, and then, with almost no movement, the daunting ball of light was hit back by Echizen Ryoma.

"Heh, not bad, kid."

Looking at the ball of light that was hit back, Byodoin just chuckled, with an expression of surprise on his face.

The force he used in this shot was exactly the same as the power of the glowing ball that Tokugawa blocked with his body that night during the training camp.

The reason for doing this is naturally to use this ball to test how much Echizen Ryoma's strength has changed compared to that time.

Now it seems that after joining the American team, the opponent's strength has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

But, that alone is not enough.

Tightening the racket in his hand, Byodoin took a few steps to catch up with the ball, and increased the force of his swing a little more.

On the other hand, although Echizen Ryoma had activated Perfect Match, he was still unable to make up for the gap in the basic five dimensions with Byodoin.

But compared to being completely passive in the first game, at least now he has the possibility of counterattacking normally.

15 is better than 0
15 is better than 15
30 is better than 15
40 is better than 15
40 is better than 30
Compared to the first game where he didn't score any points, Ryoma Echizen was able to score a small point in this game.

"Game, Byodoin is leading, the score is 2 to 0!"

Ten minutes later, the second game ended and Byodoin still won.

woohoo hoo...

A slightly rapid breathing sound came out of Ryoma Echizen's mouth. After just two rounds, his breathing rhythm began to become irregular.

Even before Byodoin really started to exert its strength, it had already put tremendous pressure on him.

"Tsk, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just a slightly stronger ant."

With a slightly disappointed expression, Byodoin thought that the opponent had some new cards hidden that had not been revealed, but there was no change until the second round.

After the third game started, he began to bombard with his world-class skills without any mercy.

The balance of the game simply tipped to one side.

Echizen Ryoma's disadvantageous situation instantly turned into a complete crushing situation.

"Little one...it's a bit miserable."

Looking at Ryoma who was beaten on the tennis court without any chance to resist, Echizen Ryoma walked to his father's side and spoke.

"As expected of the ace trained by the old man, Byodoin Phoenix's strength is enough to play professionally long ago."

It seemed that he was not worried at all about Ryoma's bad situation. Instead, Echizen Nanjiro gave his own evaluation of the opposing player as soon as he opened his mouth.

"That guy is indeed very strong, but if I were to fight him, I wouldn't be as embarrassed as Little One."

Echizen Ryoma nodded in agreement at what his father said, but he did not think that he was inferior to the other party.

"Your tennis ball is...too dangerous."

Nanjiro's gaze lingered on Ryoma for a moment, then he moved away calmly and continued, "As for Ryoma, this match is far from the point where he will admit defeat."

"Oh? It seems that there is something about the little one that I don't know?" Echizen Ryuya looked surprised, then smiled with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"You'll know if you keep watching."

Echizen Nanjiro did not give a direct answer, but smiled mysteriously.

The quiet exchange between father and son ended here, and on the court, fifteen minutes later, the first set of the game also ended.

"Game, Byodoin scores, the score is 6 to 0."

"The first set was won by the Japanese team."

Byodoin Phoenix won the victory very easily. He didn't even look at Ryoma, but walked out of the tennis court and sat in the rest area to rest. On the other side, Ryoma, who was already sweating, also went into the rest area without saying a word.

His eyes were a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

The other members of the American team looked at him with some pity.

"Oh, the gap is too big."

"Who would have thought that the coach of the Japanese team would arrange for Byodoin Phoenix to play in the first match."

"Ryoma, I met an opponent I shouldn't have met..."

"I hope that after this game is over, it won't cause too much psychological trauma to him."

"..."

Reinhardt and others did not blame Echizen Ryoma for his performance in the first set. This was not the opponent he should have faced at all.

Likewise, they also understood how determined the Japanese team was to win this first game.

Outside the tennis court, the spectators who came to watch the game had polarized reactions after the end of a set.

Supporters of the American team sighed and groaned, because after watching the first set, they felt that the first game was basically a death sentence for the team.

Expecting to fall behind at the start, they were naturally in low spirits.

On the other hand, the supporters of the Japanese team have begun to shout and express their joy.

The short break passed in a flash, and a few minutes later, Byodoin Phoenix and Echizen Ryoma left the rest area synchronously and returned to the tennis court.

The Phoenix of Pingdengguan came to the baseline and did not start serving immediately. Instead, he grinned and said, "Kid, if you want to beat me, go back and practice for another ten years. As for now, just admit defeat."

As soon as the words fell, in the eyes of others, the next moment the dazzling golden light once again shone from the tennis ball in the hands of the Byodoin Phoenix.

Then, the light rose high, and was then suddenly and forcefully slammed down by the raised racket.

boom

Another luminous shot started the game, and this time, the power contained in this shot was even more amazing than the previous one.

Byodoin's plan is to speed up the competition.

On the opposite side, Ryoma Echizen looked at the ball of light mixed with the aura of destruction flying towards him and turned on the light of reserve again.

However, this time, when he caught the tennis ball, he felt that the pressure on his arms was slightly beyond the limit of what he could currently bear.

Unable to launch a quick counterattack, Echizen Ryoma firmly resisted the violent impact of the light ball, resulting in a stalemate.

"I will...not admit defeat!"

A seamless light suddenly burst out with Echizen Ryoma's shout, covering the light ball and instantly extinguishing the golden light.

The next moment, the tennis ball broke through the air from Ryoma Echizen's half of the court, landed beside the Byodoin Phoenix, and flew out of the tennis court.

"0 to 15!"

The referee announced the score and Byodoin Phoenix's serve was broken.

"Ok?"

Seeing that his shining shot had no effect, Byodoin was a little surprised.

On the other side, the light on Ryoma Echizen's body began to fade as he returned the serve.

It seemed that this counterattack had overdrawn the power of the light of reserve.

"Is this your limit? Then, it's time for you to experience what Tokugawa experienced back then - the cruelty of the world!"

Byodoin gave a somewhat grim smile, and then he threw the tennis ball again.

The next moment, the tennis balls turned into countless bayonets and flew towards Echizen Ryoma.

In an instant, in Echizen Ryoma's sight, he was distracted and found himself on a dilapidated pirate ship.

A heavy, cold rain began to fall from the black sky.
