Chapter 107: Players vs. Toyama Kintaro·Tianyi…

What is this NPC mumbling?

The player came onto the court, racket in hand, and passed by without looking away. Kintaro Toyama, who rushed forward excitedly with his hands raised high, missed.

But he was completely used to it, and even in the gap of missing the target, he could flexibly turn and jump, jumping neatly in the direction of Yagi Kei.

Still happily followed along onto the court,

"—Really! I'm really looking forward to today's match, Yagi-Yagi!"

He dragged out the last word, his face showing uncontrollable joy and excitement.

"Let's have a showdown! Yagi-Yagi!!"

Shitenhoji played Toyama Kintaro in the second singles match of S2, and Rikkai University played Yagi Kei in the second singles match of S2.

For the audience, this show is still very interesting and its appeal is comparable to the battle between two kings in S1.

They were both freshmen, and even dark horse players in this national competition.

It has attracted much attention from the outside world, and has become a hot topic and a hot topic of discussion.

What is even more dramatic is that S2 singles second has become the last ticket to the finals.

Kei Yagi from Rikkai University once again becomes the gatekeeper.

Will it be closed smoothly, or will the undefeated legend created by Yagi Kei in this tournament be defeated by a fledgling challenger, thus performing a miracle of a comeback?

——It’s exactly what the audience wants to see now!

Dark horse vs. dark horse—the battle is about to begin!

“—Huh, huh, where are we?!”

The sounds of panting and occasional running footsteps were heard. Outside the court, the people on Fudo Peak who were watching the game in silence turned their heads and looked over.

——It was the Seigakuen team that arrived breathlessly!

"Has your match against Hyotei ended?" Tachibana remembered the match schedule. The first court was Shitenhoji vs. Rikkai University, and the match between Seigaku and Hyotei was on the second court.

Momoshiro Takeshi and Echizen Ryoma, who were running in the front, turned their heads and looked at the court before they could reply.

It wasn't until I could confirm with my eyes that S2 was the second singles match that I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes," Fuji Shusuke, who arrived shortly after, said gently, "Luckily we made it here in time. I was a little worried that we'd be too late and it would already be over."

Ju scratched his head: "Well...actually, even if I come a little later, I should still be able to see it..."

After all, Shitenhoji entered the field at a time when they were almost about to give up the game, and with the successive timeouts and interruptions, the normal game time was forcibly extended a lot.

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro, who arrived last, looked into the arena. "So where are we now?"

Fudomine's Ibu Shinji put it succinctly: "In Season 2, Rikkai University's Yagi faces the first-year students from Shitenhoji. It seems they have the trump card."

"Huh?"

“Is that so…”

Inui Sadaharu glanced at the scoreboard and said, "Yagi is closing the door again."

Everyone looked towards the arena upon hearing this. Tachibana suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the result of the battle between Seigaku and Hyotei. Just as he was about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of the faint flames of revenge burning on the faces of the Seigaku people lined up, silent and resolute.

No need to ask, he already had the answer.

It seems that Qingxue came here this time to seek revenge and wipe out the previous humiliation.

I just don't know about Rikkai University...

【Match successful! 】

[Your position is——S2·Singles 2! ]

[Your opponent is: Shitenhoji, Toyama Kintaro! ]

【Loading completed! Now you can enter the game! 】

The player clicks on the pop-up windows that pop up in front of him and walks straight onto the court.

As the game enters, the battle mode loads,

The new copy scene and BOSS status finally became clear.

The player instinctively looked up and glanced at the dungeon BOSS status bar—

【Title: *** Protagonist】

A golden light!

Wait? What's going on?

The player glanced down and saw, unprepared, this guy… his status bar was covered in a bunch of gorgeous, dazzling golden legends! !

[Original Son][Son of Heaven][Son of Nature][Single Focus]…

The player scanned these statuses one by one and clicked in for a long time, "Strength gain", "Spirit gain", "Speed ​​gain", "Immune to control", "Unable to be selected", etc...

Almost every entry taken individually is definitely a supermodel, but now, they are all concentrated on the same person.

No, this thing... is it really suitable for a dungeon boss?

Won't the game world collapse once this boss is defeated?!

The player's hand holding the racket trembled slowly, and he silently opened the background GM feedback.

Such an excessive BOSS absolutely needs feedback!

Toyama Kintaro had been waiting for this day for a very long time, but being suppressed by Shiraishi Kuranosuke had already sharpened his impulsive heart to be sharp and powerful.

The beast-like golden eyes stared straight at the black-haired boy who was only a few meters away, locking onto his prey and not letting go. The strong pressure even slightly affected the people of Shitenhoji and Rikkai on the sidelines.

Sanada Genichirō frowned slightly with his arms crossed. Marui Bunta and Jack Sawahara couldn't help but look in the direction of their younger generation.

"Kui..."

"...Shitenhoji's secret trump card," Yanagi Renji's voice sounded calmly and gently, "is well protected, and even personal information is rarely circulated to the outside world."

Kirihara Akaya had met Toyama Kintaro before, and based on his limited knowledge, he couldn't tell much about them. However, the overwhelming pressure on the field now didn't seem fake.

When his trusted senior said this, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat. "Then Kei—"

"Chiye," Liu didn't say anything more, but just tilted his head slightly and looked at the only black figure on the court.

"Right now,"

"Just trust Yagi."

Liu didn't say the rest.

After all, only Yagi Kei... was unfathomable from beginning to end.

"——Rikkai University serves first!"

The player rolled the dice to win the serve, took out the tennis ball from his pocket, and silently glanced at the dungeon boss on the other side of the net, who seemed to be cheating.

Use a skill to touch the basic value.

[Click skill: 'Your butterfly flash hits the wall 365 degrees, Thomas doesn't spin, barehanded 100% catches the blade, the scheming frog touches your belly']

[Skill used successfully! ]

The black-haired figure held the tennis ball in his hand, which fell in a slight arc. His dynamic vision and extraordinary eyesight captured this moment almost in the very frame of the falling ball.

Kintaro Toyama's lips curled up in excitement, and he quickly gripped the racket and suddenly concentrated all his attention -!

Here we come!

Here we come!!

Here we come!!!

Yagi Yagi's special move - 'You butterfly flash and hit the wall 365 degrees Thomas without spinning bare-handed 100% catch the white blade of the scheming frog touch your belly' ball!

The yellow tennis ball fell down in a slight arc, and was hit by the raised racket, twisting slightly and flashing, then disappeared from the spot.

Toyama Kintaro pricked up his ears, using his hearing, smell, and touch to their fullest. He held the racket tightly in both hands and remained motionless.

The audience was confused, "What's wrong with this kid? Why doesn't he catch the ball?"

"Is he scared silly? Is he just pretending to be so imposing?"

Rumors and gossips, mixed in with a barely audible humming sound that almost matched the lowest frequency of breathing,

Toyama Kintaro suddenly raised his eyes, turned around and flew to the right——

"He moved?!!"

During the battle, Shiraishi Kuranosuke also used the "Star Bible" to max out his speed in order to reach the point where the ball landed, but his movements were far from as swift as Toyama Kintaro's.

Like a cheetah running fast, once it bites the throat of its prey, it will chase and tangle endlessly. Toyama Kintaro took a big step and took over on the spot with a backflip.

The yellow ball that tore through space suddenly appeared before his eyes without any warning.

“——Found it!!”

He smiled with great excitement, full of the achievement of catching his favorite toy. He then grasped the racket with both hands and hit the spinning tennis ball that had just landed with a powerful swing.

"Yagi-Yagi——let me crack this shot of yours!!"

The player raised his eyelids slightly.

The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, an unimaginable gravity spread over it like mud, and Toyama Kintaro paused.

He said "Huh" and without thinking, he waved his arms to fight back.

No, according to Shiraishi, although this shot was fast and powerful, it could be returned normally if one has enough energy.

Toyama Kintaro's power was at a stalemate, stuck there, unable to move forward.

On the side of the Shitenhoji Temple court, Shiraishi Kuranosuke suddenly felt something was wrong, and reflexively followed his intuition to look at the figure on the other side of the net.

Yagi Kei, after raising his eyes to take a quick look, then calmly put down his bat and turned away.

It was as if this goal was certain—it would definitely score!!

“Wow!!”

Bai Shi's heart skipped a beat, and the next frame's whistle blew suddenly!

“——15:0!”

He was too busy to look back, and only looked at Yagi Kei for a few seconds. Xiao Jin, who was in a stalemate with the ball, suddenly lowered his head in confusion.

The tennis ball, which was constantly fighting against the strings, actually moved slowly upwards during the friction and rotation, heading straight for his face!

Balls hitting the body are the most difficult to deal with. Kintaro Toyama instinctively turned his head and let the ball go.

Yagi Kei, really scored.

After a moment's reaction, Toyama Kintaro's eyes lit up, "Nani Nani—how did you do that goal! Yagi Yagi, you're amazing!!"

"——One more goal, one more goal!!"

The player looked at the dungeon BOSS's health bar from a distance.

After finishing Shiraishi Kuranosuke last time, you will get the component [Damage·Additional Damage]. After the player launches an attack, there will be a certain chance of it happening.

The method of judgment is very simple. Just see if the health bar of the copy boss has been reduced by two segments.

To some extent, it greatly increases the player's damage, although it is still the same scratching.

But it doesn’t matter, players have plenty of means and strength!

Isn’t it just scraping? The player is a famous professional who made his fortune from scraping!

Players can block the shouting of the opposing dungeon BOSS with one click and continue to use their skills immersively.

As soon as he saw Yagi Kei take his starting stance, Toyama Kintaro flashed and automatically closed his mouth. He was so focused that his eyes were wide open, staring intently like a small cheetah.

Seeing this scene, Shiraishi Kuranosuke even wanted to sigh that it is true that there is always something that can defeat something else.

But now, the situation is not optimistic.

Although Xiao Jin has caught up with Yagi Kei's "Butterfly Ball" and surpassed him in speed, it is useless to just catch up. He must have the ability to fight back immediately.

[Using skills...]

【Successful use! 】

The yellow ball arced downwards, disappearing with a humming sound. Toyama Kintaro fell silent again, keenly distinguishing and capturing the noise amidst the clamor, and immediately launching a counterattack.

He leaped sideways and twisted his body with a big stride. His mobility was indeed several degrees higher than that of Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

Everyone in Rikkai saw it, and although the younger generation now had a slight advantage, they were not reassured.

The trump card that has been hidden until now by the Shitenhoji Minister, who is also a regular participant in the national tournament... there must be something that has not been revealed yet!

Xiao Jin once again caught the landing point of the "butterfly ball". This time he held the racket with both hands in advance and subtly changed the angle.

Immediately learning from the previous ball's lesson, he pressed down to prevent the "butterfly ball" from climbing up the racket and rushing towards his body in the stalemate. Toyama Kintaro responded while thinking.

He caught the ball again.

Bai Shi clenched his fists!

In the next frame, the yellow tennis ball stuck in the center of the racket bounced quickly, unexpectedly changing its previous direction towards the face and body, and shot directly downwards.

Kintaro Toyama was caught off guard, stunned, blinked blankly, and watched the ball go away.

“30:0!”

This time, not only Xiao Jin was stunned, but Bai Shi also couldn't loosen his clenched hands.

It was a completely unconventional serve...

It was completely different from the last time he saw it. Bai Shi was stunned and suddenly caught a heart-pounding possibility.

After Xiao Jin's dull reaction, he became even more emotional and tried to break the ball.

With his "Yagi Yagi, one more goal" playing in the background, Shiraishi Kuranosuke slowly felt a chill and stiffness coming from the bottom of his heart.

They have always believed that Yagi Kei is constantly evolving and improving his strength, so every time he shows a stronger and more profound side of himself.

But what if he had always been this powerful?

What if the reason why we haven't seen Yagi's new strengths or sides before is simply because... as challengers, we are too weak?

Shiraishi Kuranosuke forced a smile at the corner of his lips with great difficulty. He could only use this expression to hide the abnormal emotions in his heart.

If this conjecture is correct, this possibility exists.

So what is the real Kei Yagi...what is his true strength?

And...how strong do they have to be to be able to truly get close to him, to push him forward, and to enable him to unleash his full strength.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke's pupils shrank slightly, and now he looked at the noisy Toyama Kintaro on the court and swallowed deeply.

Xiao Jin...

Do you know what kind of existence you are facing now?

Even when asked, Toyama Kintaro would just scratch his head and answer blankly, "What does it matter?"

Now, breaking Yagi Kei's serve, which was just a few yards away, had become a matter that occupied his entire mind and attention.

The red-haired Xiao Jin whined and said coquettishly, "One more ball—one more ball, Yagi! I swear I can definitely crack it this time. Trust me one more time!"

The situation on the court has made it difficult for everyone to see clearly.

Oh... shouldn't it be a more serious, life-and-death battle?

Where does this feeling of practicing basketball with the little boy next door come from?!

The Rikkai players were also a little confused. At the beginning, they were indeed a little worried about the younger generation, but after two serves, they almost got a feel for the trend.

From the current perspective, the distant mountains of Shitenhoji Temple...cannot break the defense at all, but it cannot be ruled out that he suddenly has an epiphany.

After all, judging from the fact that he was able to catch up with Kei's 'Butterfly Ball' and counterattack it, this guy... is definitely the best!

The player continued to practice with the other players, and two balls cut off a small tube of blood from the copy BOSS, and the skill ClickClickClick,

【Successful use! 】

Toyama Kintaro shouted "Just in time!" and immediately rushed forward with joy.

It is not easy to catch the landing point of the "butterfly ball", and it is even more difficult to return the ball.

After another goal was lost, the score rose to 40:0. Toyama Kintaro finally sensed a sign of a counterattack through his intuition.

Once again, the racket and the high-speed spinning yellow tennis ball were in a stalemate, and Toyama Kintaro's eyes locked.

Up, down, the trajectories of the first three balls were already clearly discernible. Now, as long as he could see the movement trend of the tennis ball in that frame, he could quickly hit it.

'Up!'

Without any hesitation, he swung his racket to meet the ball. In the sight of both Rikkai University and Shitenhoji, Kintaro Toyama's racket finally hit the center of the tennis ball for the first time in a real sense!

Rikkai University: “——!”

Shitenbao Temple: "...!!"

"Could it be..."

"Could it be—"

The collective subconscious reached a consensus at this moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this moment that was about to become history.

With an excited smile on his face, Toyama Kintaro opened his mouth wide and swung his racket to hit the ball. Suddenly, a loud "Ku-Ku-Ku-Ku!"

From the corner of my eye, I saw Yagi Kei standing outside the net with his back to...

Wait, facing away?!

The tennis ball flew out quickly, forming a perfect arc at lightning speed, and with great pressure and momentum, it hit the net with great bang!

The yellow ball bounced back, made a few "pat-pat" sounds, and slowly rolled away.

Quiet, still, silent,

“Beep!!”

The referee blew a sharp whistle, "Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji - 1:0!"

Even if you catch the last ball, even if you predict it, even if you hit it back - you still can't score.

It was still Kei Yagi who won the serve!

“…”

“…”

Like a cluster of sparks hitting the hay, the audience was ignited with great enthusiasm.

The Rikkai University cheering group stepped up their support, and the voices calling out "Yagi" and "Yagi Kei" were heard everywhere, one after another, without stopping.

The challenger's youthful challenge is certainly exciting, but the eternal power of the dominant player is even more fascinating.

Toyama Kintaro squatted on the ground and looked at the ball that rolled in front of him. After a long while, he blinked and grabbed his head and said childishly,

"Oh my god, I can't even beat him like this! Damn it—this is too damned!"

He turned his eyes, his cat-like eyes, faintly gleaming with golden light, fixed on the man who shook the racket twice.

"Hey, Yagi,"

This was the first time he called out Yagi Kei's name accurately.

The black-haired boy glanced sideways, his dark eyeballs slowly rolling down to the very corners of his eyes, his unmotivated pupils giving him a little bit of his gaze.

At first glance, it looked a bit creepy, and Toyama Kintaro shuddered, but he quickly adapted to it. After all, in his heart, there were more important things to say.

"I say, did you just turn around?"

Xiao Jin did not miss the aiming of his peripheral vision. He was sure that when he returned the last ball, Yagi Kei had definitely turned around.

Why why why why... He had clearly already caught the tail of that ball and even successfully counterattacked -

Toyama Kintaro gripped his racket, his eyes raised from the bottom to the top, "Could it be that, Yagi, you are sure that I will never score that ball just now?"

“…”

"Oh," the dark eyes turned back from the corners of his eyes. The man who was stingy with words was calm and cold. He spoke concisely.

"Isn't it?"

Silence, in the silence that spread like a dead silence, the sound of the falling was like a deafening meteorite.

It was cold and heavy, and the moment it hit the ground, it was so quiet that it almost took away your breath.

Not only Yuanshan who heard this sentence, but also the entire Shitenhoji Temple and even the entire Rikkai University,

They all felt a sense of extreme coldness and deep oppression.

No matter how weird or mischievous you are,

But in essence, as Inoue Shousho had already determined—

Yagi Kei, he seems to have become the insurmountable peak that hangs over the heads of all players of this era.

Everyone can only challenge him and try to take his place.

But no one can surpass him,

Just because he is so powerful.

"—Shitenhoji serves!"

The referee waved his arm, the serve was changed,

After that sound, his pupils tightened, but Kintaro Toyama regained his composure and did not show any abnormality.

Rather, it was because of that sentence that his challenger's emotions became more excited and ignited.

——In that case, then... let's at least try his special move!

The player has no idea what he has done, and his only concern is how to efficiently kill the dungeon boss's health bar.

Suddenly, the player was caught in a skill CG, and all the golden flashes in the dungeon BOSS status bar lit up.

Following closely behind was Toyama Kintaro, who leaped high, spinning ten and a half times in mid-air with super-strong air retention, grabbing his tennis racket and yelling, "Come and taste my—super-super-invincible, absolutely delicious Big Wheel Mountain Storm!!!"

Player: “…”

Another genius at naming.

Why all the fuss? A-response, all A-response!

“——empty, empty, empty, empty!”

The tennis ball flew up and directly hit the serve of Toyama Kintaro in the opposite direction. If it weren't for his agility and quick movements, the tragedy on the court would have been even more tragic.

"Damn it!! Then let's try this trick again - Super Million Ton Fantasy Deluxe Volcano Eruption Ball!!" Toyama Kintaro refused to admit defeat and grabbed the racket and rushed forward again.

“—Boom!”

"How could he possibly return even this one shot so casually?!"

Toyama Kintaro wiped his face with the back of his hand, never giving up, grabbing the racket tightly and rushing forward with all his strength.

"It doesn't matter! I still have this one—a super-thousand-pound, invincible Taishan overhead smash!"

“——Ding ding ding! Boom!!!”

The players have seen him fly backwards countless times, and even the people in the Four Heavenly Treasures Temple have begun to secretly bet on which direction Xiao Jin will fly next.

Panting, clutching his racket, he once again stood before the black-haired figure. For the first time, Toyama Kintaro's proud special move was completely useless in front of someone.

He slowly grasped the handle of the racket, raised it straight up, and aimed it at the player across the net.

"Yagi, I haven't given up yet!!"

The player silently glanced at the title above his head, then looked at the dazzling legends that lit up one after another in the status bar, shining with golden light.

Oh, the cockroach that can't be killed?

interesting.

Toyama Kintaro took a deep breath, and the moment he grabbed the racket, he suddenly found some subconsciousness, and the power that flickered faintly in his heart suddenly shone brightly.

It rushed out of his whole body, so that his whole body was shining!

The knowledgeable Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Sanada Genichirō with his arms folded on the side of the field, and Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma watching the game from outside the stadium all fixed their eyes.

"That is..."

Qiansui Qianli spoke slowly, "Xiao Jin's selfless state has actually been opened at this time."

The light burst out, and faint stardust scattered everywhere. Toyama Kintaro's slightly closed eyes slowly opened.

With his hair flying, he looked extremely radiant and relaxed, and he was the focus of everyone's attention.

[Ding!]

A pop-up window suddenly appeared.

【——Kintaro Toyama, successfully reached the ultimate perfection! 】
