Prince of Tennis: Start by replicating your talent

Akutsu had never met any boy of the same age who dared to do this to him, so he didn't react immediately and was hit hard, leaving a bloody mark on his face.

"Akutsu! How can you say it's boring when you play tennis like this?" Nanchuan roared.

"Don't think you are invincible just because you are a sports genius. You can't even play tennis well and can't even finish a game. Do you have the right to say that tennis is boring? Everyone has their own reasons for winning when playing tennis. Everyone has respect and love for sports. What else can you do besides smashing your racket? Akutsu, your tennis is terrible. You don't deserve to continue playing with me. Go away."

The whole scene fell silent.

Everyone, including Akutsu, was frightened by Minamikawa's outburst.

Chapter 40: Triggering Talent

Nanchuan's words made Akutsu, who was full of hostility and disdain, like a helpless child for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he felt a slight pain in the wound on his face. He gently wiped the blood, then put his hands in his pockets and left without saying a word.

Although the violent aura in his body did not disappear, Nanchuan still saw his hands trembling slightly for a short while.

"Just let him go like that?" Shishido Ryo was a little unconvinced.

"He beat us all..."

Nanchuan interrupted him: "You are the ones whose skills are inferior to others, so there is no need to say anything more."

Shishido Ryo lowered his head in embarrassment. He indeed did not catch the ball thrown by Akutsu, so he, like everyone else, was beaten badly by Akutsu.

"Yes, he is indeed very powerful. It can be seen that his balance, flexibility, speed, strength, and even his explosiveness and destructive power are all very strong. Moreover, he is well-rounded."

It's not that he can't see it, or that he doesn't acknowledge Akutsu's potential.

I just can't accept his attitude.

"Didn't you want him to join? He just left like that..."

"He will come back." Nanchuan said.

"Are you so sure?"

Sometimes Shishido Ryo just couldn't understand where Minamikawa got his full confidence from time to time.

Nanchuan smiled and said, "Because I know him."

As long as I'm better than him, I can make this sports genius who is said to be seen once in a decade face his own problems and inspire him to further pursue tennis.

"He doesn't really think tennis is boring, it's just that no one has ever been able to beat him before. People like Akutsu can only convince him by using force to force and violence to fight violence."

Shishido Ryo and the others seemed to understand, but the focus still returned to Minamikawa.

"By the way, what happened to that shot you just made?"

"Yeah, what kind of fighting style is that?"

Nan Chuan stretched his arm, which was actually aching slightly, and said with a smile, "I learned this from a first-year tennis player. Isn't it amazing?"

"Who?"

"You'll know later. By the way, Liang, see? Strong people are everywhere. You should also be fully aware that you should explode and evolve, right? You must be very unconvinced to be defeated by a beast like Akutsu. If he joins, you will most likely be eliminated from the starting lineup. So you understand what I mean? No more talking. I'm going to the locker room."

Regardless of Shishido Ryo's instantly pale face, Minamikawa left the court.

All he wanted now was to give his arm a rest.

After fighting with Tezuka using his domain, he fought with Akutsu for almost ten minutes.

To be honest, this is probably the limit of the burden he can currently bear from the domain.

Now he felt firsthand how deadly the burden brought by the domain was. If a guy like Atobe who was good at tug-of-war saw through this, he would probably be counterattacked until he was completely pushed into the abyss of failure.

It's just like the match between Tezuka and Genichirō Sanada in the original work. Of course, if Tezuka's left arm hadn't been injured, he probably could have fought again.

Nanchuan is now very clear about his problem; what he lacks is sufficient experience.

He walked out of the court in silence. He was thinking, if he evolved this move in other directions, could he alleviate this burden?

After changing into a sweaty jersey, Nanchuan sat on the bench in the locker room and began to think.

"Reproduction is the basis, and evolution is also the basis. I need to practice more to strengthen my ability to bear it. However, some skills bring negative burdens to myself. If this is not resolved, I will not go far. So, huh?"

Nanchuan, who was immersed in thought, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his mind.

"Remake: Realm"

"Evolution: Phantom."

"For the first time, I have replicated and evolved a skill that has its own negative aspects."

"Trigger talent three: Devour."

"Basic Devouring: Devouring one's own negativity."

what?

When Nanchuan heard the word "swallow", he was ecstatic and the first person he thought of was the guy who played the swallowing tennis ball:

Echizen Ryuga, the adopted son of Echizen Nanjiro and a tennis genius but an extremely mysterious wandering player.

But obviously, their devouring methods are different.

Echizen Ryuga's devouring is absorption and deprivation.

He remembered that this style of play was very strange. Echizen Ryuya would learn the opponent's skills on the spot on the court, just like a replica of his own, but the strange thing was that after Ryuya's counterattack, the opponent would completely forget his own tennis ball and become Ryuya's defeated opponent.

Meeting Long Ya was a terrifying thing. It was an extremely difficult match. It could also be said that it was the most helpless match.

Because all his unique skills might be absorbed by Long Ya without his knowledge on the spot, and he would be left with nothing.

No matter what kind of fantasy tennis ball it is, in the original book it will be absorbed and taken away by Long Ya without exception, and in the end the only way to continue playing is "normal attack".

But how could "Normal A" possibly defeat Long Ya?

The preference of the comics author Xu Feizhi made it possible that Echizen Nanjiro could not withstand this kind of fighting style when facing Long Ya, so he was written so mysterious, right?

But no matter what, for Minamikawa, this is the charm of Echizen Ryuga.

Of course, the development of this ability requires long-term actual combat. A competition system where one game decides the outcome will not allow Long Ya to complete the swallowing.

But that’s a story for another day.

Nanchuan's mood became excited.

Although his devouring is not Long Ya's devouring, his talent is also amazing.

"Basic Devouring means to devour my own burden? In other words, can it prevent me from being negatively affected when I use the domain?"

Nanchuan moved his arms, but he couldn't calm down.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I can use my domain infinitely? I can easily suppress my opponent completely."

His arm was still a little sore now, so he decided to wait until the soreness completely disappeared before trying to cast the field continuously to see the effect of the devouring.

"However, since it is a basic swallowing, there should be an upper limit, right? Well... let's check the upper limit together when the time comes."

Nanchuan calmed himself down and continued walking towards the stadium.

Atobe never came back and no one knew where he went.

When he came back, not only was there the familiar Kabachi following him, but also Akutsu who had returned.

The others, including Nanchuan, looked at Atobe in surprise.

Nanchuan said: "How did you come back together? I thought Akutsu would go back alone."

Akutsu's eyes were looking up at the sky, and his tone was cocky:

"This gentleman asked me to come here."

"Bullshit!" Atobe retorted, "I never ask for help from anyone."

"Nonsense, I will never give in!"

Nanchuan slapped his forehead with a headache to stop the two people who were about to get angry.

Chapter 41 Officially Joined

Nanchuan looked at Atobe and the others and asked:

"So, now the transfer procedures have been completed, right?"

The two looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"

"How should I know? Look at what you are saying. One of you does not surrender, and the other does not beg. But as long as you are given enough, wouldn't you surrender? Wouldn't you be willing to pay?"

Akutsu has suffered two defeats in a row. Given his personality, it would be strange if he didn't fight back. Moreover, he is now interested in Bingbingtei, and with Nanchuan's two invitations, it is within Nanchuan's expectations that he would be tempted.

As for Akutsu, once he meets an opponent who can defeat him, he will be interested in continuing the fight.

As for Atobe, this guy was not here just now. He must have gone to tell the school director.

Although he has been very dissatisfied with Akutsu from yesterday until now, and would occasionally curse at him.

But he values ​​talent, and in order to win three consecutive championships, he wants stronger players to come in.

Seeing that he was so sure that Akutsu would come to challenge him, he started to make arrangements in advance.

And what he was sure of was that Atobe must have gone to Yamabuki, learned about the situation and Akutsu's own family problems, and then gave Akutsu a backdoor.

This kind of aristocratic school invested by a chaebol, especially a big chaebol like the Atobe family, is really a one-man show. Whoever Atobe wants to be a school director has to agree.

According to Master Atobe's practice, Akutsu's tuition and daily school expenses were of course waived. This was probably the reason why Akutsu transferred to another school without any hesitation, as he was as poor as him.

Seeing that both of them were too proud to admit it, Nanchuan sighed and gave them a way out:

"Now that it's done, let's join the team. Atobe, as the team leader, can you introduce them properly? Everyone has been beaten up today, so we need to know who this new teammate is, right?"

Atobe clicked his tongue and said, "Akujin, he has a bad temper, so don't give in to him."

Nanchuan: “…”

Akatsuki: “Boring.”

He wanted to put his hands in his pockets and leave, but was stopped by Atobe:

"As the Minister, I remind you to introduce yourself to everyone."

Akutsu also yelled, "Don't order me around!"

As he became more violent, the bloody mark on his face left by Nanchuan looked even more hideous.

Nanchuan slapped Akutsu on the shoulder:

"Pay attention, once you join you need to know how to respect your teammates and speak nicely."

Then, everyone was surprised to find that Akutsu actually introduced himself to everyone:

"Akutsujin."

Although it was just a name, and he looked up with his nose in the air, then put his hands in his pockets and left.

But considering his arrogant temper just now, it was already very powerful for him to be able to do this.

"Haha, it turns out that only if you beat him, then it will be useful to speak in front of him."

Nanchuan clapped his hands: "Alright, everyone continue training. Don't worry about him. He also has to deal with the follow-up matters of the transfer."

Seeing that everyone had resumed normal training, Atobe turned and looked at Nanchuan.

"What?" Nanchuan was puzzled.

Atobe said, "No, are you the minister or am I the minister? Why did you act so much like the minister just now?"

Nanchuan laughed: "You are too childish. You and Akutsu just disliked each other so much. If I don't say anything, will everyone just continue to stare at you?"

"By the way, Atobe, there will be a school ranking tournament at the end of the month. Tell Akutsu that I hope he can play in the Kanto tournament. Also, during this period, let him get more exposure to more systematic training. He also needs to make some changes in this regard, otherwise it won't be enough for him to just rely on his wild skills."

"I know about this, and I've already told him that we at Hyotei have a reward mechanism, and there will be rewards for winning games and so on. He agreed very straightforwardly."

"Sure, Minister. You are very thoughtful."

"Nonsense, I am a very qualified minister, okay?"

Atobe's expression suddenly changed and he asked:
