Chapter 108: Update 1 + Update 2: Players face the ultimate in flawless perfection! ...

[Ding!]

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

As soon as the system prompt came out, in response to the changes in Kintaro Toyama in front of him, the copy BOSS suddenly entered the second stage.

The player was confused, looking at the health bar uncertainly, then looking again and saw that it was indeed the second stage of the dungeon boss.

no……

Is there anyone here who is not a Kaigui? ! ! Is there any law or order anymore? ! !

Isn't it common to enter the second stage when the boss is at low health or on the verge of death? Why did this dungeon boss just step into it so carelessly?!

The players were shocked and puzzled.

But Kintaro Toyama in the middle of the field really surprised everyone.

Qiansui Qianli, who persistently pursued the three doors to the state of selflessness and pursued to open one of them - the door of the limit of talent, slowly became solemn.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke folded his arms and looked at the situation inside the arena, shaking his head helplessly. "What a mess... Xiao Jin."

"...Hey, what is that?"

Kikumaru, who was watching the game from the sidelines, looked at the others behind him in confusion.

“It is the state of no self.”

Fuji Shusuke's voice was gentle, and he answered everyone's questions.

"Kintaro Toyama of Shitenhoji Temple, judging by his current appearance, seems to have successfully entered the state of no self."

Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses and glanced to the side from the corner of his eye. The two people who were most familiar with the state of no self and had successfully achieved it were silent together.

The state of no self...

Tezuka Kunimitsu already had the answer in his heart, while Echizen Ryoma looked at Kintaro Toyama in the field and pulled his hat slightly.

"Is that the legendary state of no self?..."

Kirihara Akaya murmured,

Yanagi Renji shook his head slightly, and turned his narrowed eyes to the silent Sanada Genichirō.

"Genichiro," he said.

“…”

"Those are the three doors in the realm of no self."

Sanada was concise and to the point.

The state of no self is not a topic that is concealed or avoided in Rikkai University. Minister Yukimura Seiichi and Deputy Minister Sanada Genichirō have both stepped into it, but after realizing its drawbacks and shortcomings after using it for the first time, they both gave up this unique skill and tacitly turned to other paths.

There is no other reason. Although the state of no self can improve skills and other aspects in an all-round way, its only disadvantage is that it consumes a huge amount of physical strength, which is really too fatal.

"Three doors?" Kirihara Akaya repeated blankly. This new knowledge point mentioned by Sanada Genichirō had completely touched his blind spot.

"...the pinnacle of refinement, the pinnacle of talent,"

Kirihara Akaya counted on his fingers, "That's only two?"

Genichirō Sanada: "And finally, the ultimate in flawless perfection."

"That's exactly the state Toyama Kintaro is in now."

['——Perfect and flawless!']

[Assistive Skill: Light of Reserve (Activated)]

In the center of the court, Kintaro Toyama, with his whole body radiating light and his hair flowing, and his eyes slightly closed and slowly opening, has become the focus of everyone's attention!

The moment he fully opened his eyes, he looked incredibly relaxed and brilliant. His movements with the racket and tennis ball were smooth and flowing, with his own rhythm and style.

The player who was confronting him silently looked at the colorful title that appeared above the dungeon BOSS's head:

【Perfect and seamless! 】

The evil little hands can no longer be restrained.

No, what about the player's [Pickup]? !

At this time, let the player's [Pickup] play a role and show its presence! !

After stealing for a long time but only getting a handful of air, the player had to give up the idea and try another way, continuing to scrape to enter the second stage of the dungeon BOSS.

At a glance, the golden legends on the status bar of the dungeon boss, Kintaro Toyama, lit up one after another. Players watched helplessly as his stats soared, his five-dimensional graph becoming increasingly fuller and fuller...

Player: “…”

No, can I still play it without cutting it?

The silent player picked up the racket and faced it head-on.

"—Shitenhoji serves!"

The last ball of Toyama Kintaro's serve,

The previous three moves, 'Super Invincible Absolutely Delicious Big Wheel Mountain Storm', 'Super Million Ton Fantasy Deluxe Volcano Eruption Ball' and 'Super Thousand Jin Invincible Taishan Pressing Smash', failed in succession.

And now that the situation has become so perfect, everyone is looking forward to what kind of move Kintaro Toyama will come up with to deal with Kei Yagi.

"Go ahead!!! Boy from Shitenhoji!!"

"--Let that kid from Rikkai University have a taste of your power!"

"Go! Red-haired monkey!"

Although the last sentence of support was a bit personal, Toyama Kintaro still took out the tennis ball without hesitation, raised his head slightly and looked at Yagi Kei who was separated by the net, raised his eyes slightly,

"Well then—Yagi-Yagi, let's try this shot!"

Under the attention and expectation of everyone,

The hand holding the yellow ball twisted slightly at the moment of dropping the ball.

The figure stood still, but the movements of the waist, abdomen and arms were very close.

Looking more closely, another deeper, heavier and more indescribable figure was faintly emerging from Kintaro Toyama's body at this moment -!

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned. Kirihara Akaya, who was most familiar with the movements of his junior, couldn't hold back and took an uncontrolled step forward.

The spinning tennis ball, after twisting and falling, suddenly hits the upward-swinging racket in the next second.

Perfect serve!

The contact between the net and the ball was quick and silent, just in the blink of an eye.

A slight 'hum',

Right before everyone's eyes, the little yellow ball suddenly disappeared without a trace!

“This, this is——”

"This is totally—"

"'You butterfly flashed and hit the wall 365 degrees, Thomas didn't spin, and caught the knife with his bare hands 100% of the time, the scheming frog touched your belly' ball!!!"

Kirihara Akaya screamed out his name, and it was no wonder that everyone who saw this shot was completely shocked.

Exactly the same, 100% copy.

Toyama Kintaro...in the last ball of his serving game, he actually chose Yagi Kei's special serve in a flawless state!

What a face-to-face challenge this is!

Catching it would be fine—but if the original creator of this ball couldn't catch the serve of Toyama Kintaro's copy, which was blessed by Tianyi Seamless Pattern...

Everyone in Rikkai University was worried about Yagi Kei.

"Yagi..."

"Kyuu..."

The butterfly ball rotated silently, with only a very slight fluctuation at a certain frame, tearing open a small piece of air and appearing without any preparation.

Like a butterfly flapping its wings, it made a slight humming sound.

As everyone in Rikkai watched the ball about to pass Yagi Kei, their hearts rose to their throats and their chests felt heavy as drums.

Even the calm Sanada Genichirō couldn't help but open his eyes and look in the direction -

"Yagi, you wouldn't..."

In the eyes of everyone, the black figure standing in place only moved.

He took a step, not too fast or too slow, not even a big one.

Just one step, turning around, raising his arm and swinging the racket to meet the attack - 'Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz! ! '

The sounds of violent struggle, friction, and even the wailing sound of the racket repeatedly jumping across the strings,

It’s different. The state, sound, and angle are all different from everyone else’s when they receive the ball.

This ball struggled to an almost unheard of degree, like a butterfly about to be bound by layers of spider silk strings, struggling with all its might.

The wings flapped continuously, opening and closing violently,

Seeing the complete response to this ball for the first time, not only Shiraishi, but also Tezuka, Echizen and even Tachibana outside the field couldn't help but move closer, trying to see it more clearly.

But it was just this one frame, which seemed so long but ended so quickly.

He only met the attack, even watching the ball heading towards his body just like he did against Toyama Kintaro before, Yagi Kei's expression did not change at all.

Following this ball's tendency, he swung his racket backhand and raised his arm to knock it down——

“Empty, empty, empty, empty!!”

Kintaro Toyama, with his hair flowing, suddenly felt a pang of fear. Just as he was about to swing his racket to meet the blow, a powerful return ball came straight at his face, almost like a tornado.

It directly passed through the barrier of the net and attacked like a landslide or tsunami.

Kintaro Toyama loaded the ball with perfection, mobilized all his attention to quickly meet the opponent, and burst out with unparalleled strength to intercept the ball!

The tornado ball hit with such a terrifying force that it stuck to the racket and forced Kintaro Toyama back a full distance.

But he still didn't let go, still holding the racket tightly in his hand.

"……gold!"

"Xiao Jin!!"

The people at Shitenhoji on the sidelines could no longer hold back. Seeing Toyama Kintaro being forced back a distance and still struggling with the ball, more words were on their lips.

He was hesitant to speak, and what he felt more in his heart was the fear of Kei Yagi's strength, who was just a short distance away from Rikkai University.

Even if it's 'perfectly flawless', it's still no use to this brat...

Toyama Kintaro changed from one hand to two hands to hold the racket tightly, with stardust all over his body and his hair flying, his whole aura was light, clean and powerful.

He seized the last opportunity of this ball, shouted with all his strength, opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, bit his arms to resonate with the wind and punched out hard -!

“——Don’t underestimate me, ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

The player raises the racket to meet the ball, but at the moment when the racket touches the ball,

Suddenly, a sound popped up from the window in front of me.

[Ding!]

[The dungeon boss, Kintaro Toyama, is using his support skill, Light of Restraint, on you!]

[Using... Successfully used! ]

Hmm? 'Reserved Light' means...

[Warning! Warning! You have been affected! ]

['Light of Restraint': The ultimate support skill of seamlessness,

As the user's power explodes, it uses the seamless brilliance to engulf the opponent, affecting and weakening the opponent's power, preventing them from exerting their original strength.

What this means is... a negative debuff is placed on the player?

I immediately looked down at my stats. Fortunately, there were no red locks all over the status bar. My special weapons [Giant Cauliflower], [Gui Juice], and [Atomic Bomb] were still usable, and my backpack was not blocked.

So what was weakened?

The player inspected himself in confusion again, and finally found that only the basic values ​​​​had been weakened, which was equivalent to shrinking the five-dimensional map.

...Huh?

The system pop-up window in front of me was flashing like crazy. [Warning! Warning!]

In fact, it was just a lot of noise but little action, and the knife only cut on the hair.

The players who only have six points to say about this quietly raised their bids and went on.

Toyama Kintaro slammed the ball, and the return shot, with the force of a double tornado, headed straight for Yagi Kei on the other side of the net. The overall momentum was even more majestic and turbulent, pressing down on the racket like a thousand pounds, almost suffocating the person.

Knowing the effect of [Perfect Perfection], Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma closely watched Yagi Kei's movements.

The moment the 'Light of Reserve' appeared, the side effects must have taken effect on Yagi Kei.

The weakened Yagi Kei faces the already-powerful Toyama Kintaro, and the disparity in strength...

“BOOM! BANG!!!”

A meteor suddenly exploded beside the ear, sinking deep and exploding again like a cannonball, and the power it brought made everyone's heart tremble.

Toyama Kintaro couldn't even move a single step, his eyes slowly shifting to where the fireball would land.

He maintained a safe distance with great power, swishing in an arc and striking the target instantly, leaving him no time to react.

No, it's useless even if I react... If I catch that ball just now, there will definitely be big problems!

"Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji——2:0!!"

After a brief silence, the referee on the referee chair slowly blew a sharp whistle, declaring the game final.

After failing to break through Yagi Kei's serve, Toyama Kintaro, even when he entered the perfect extreme mode in the end, still failed to successfully defend his own serve.

On and off the field, everyone was stunned for a long time by the fireball, whose momentum kept increasing as it was pulled back and forth, and finally grew to a level that was too strong for ordinary people to resist.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is... what follows is another serve game from Kei Yagi!

Shitenboji was under great pressure all of a sudden, but the audience was ignited and wanted to see an intense and extraordinary confrontation.

Emotions are like a spark thrown into the air, ignited and burning to the highest point.

“Come again!! Come again!!!”

"——Hahaha, I didn't expect to see such a high school battle this year. It's worth the price of admission!"

"Don't lose to that red-haired brat from Shitenhoji!!"

The support from both schools also increased.

But under the excessive pressure, both Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Sanada Genichirō looked unhappy.

This level... is completely beyond their control.

Although we want the new generations of both sides to fight here, it does not mean that they have to fight to the death.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke clenched his fists and was about to take a step forward, but Chitose Chisato pressed his shoulders.

Shiraishi turned around, and Chitose gestured for him to look at the expression on Toyama Kintaro's face.

The pupils suddenly contracted and stretched, like the vertical pupils of a cat, staring intently at the opponent across the net.

Only when you go down one level can you see his face, and his expression... he is smiling.

The arc of his lips was even beyond the range of a normal smile. Toyama Kintaro's expression was now almost fanatical.

He was ignited.

Like the fireball that was finally formed by the ball that was pulled back and forth from his racket and repeatedly overturned,

Kintaro Toyama was truly like a moth, attracted by the quietly burning fire and was ready to throw himself into it without hesitation.

He himself was already shining brightly, with countless stardust and glory bestowed upon him, but the direction he was looking at was the person who had been there from the beginning to the end—

That is the real center,

Kei Yagi,

He picked up the racket again.

He changed the slight rotation of the tennis ball, and people familiar with his starting style could tell at a glance what the next ball was.

Moreover, at the moment when the ball was just thrown and the arm was about to swing with gravity, everyone shouted its name in unison—

"Here it comes! 'Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Degree Thomas Spin, Barehanded 100% Catch the Blade, Scheming Frog, Touch Your Belly Again, Invincible Cosmic Big Bang Attack'!!"

Toyama Kintaro almost flashed to the landing point, and the seamless pattern of Tianyi prompted him to exert his hidden power. As soon as the racket touched the "big explosion", Toyama's wrist sank.

This power...

"Reaching the pinnacle of flawless perfection, the resulting 'light of reserve' will inevitably weaken the opponent, affecting them and preventing them from exerting their full potential."

Gan Zhenzhi kept writing and drawing in the notebook while holding a pen and said in a deep voice,

Taocheng Wu listened to his words and then looked at the fighting scene in the arena, and slowly asked: "But... is that really a weakening of strength?"

Having personally experienced Yagi Kei's triple special move in recent times, Shiraishi Kuranosuke is almost the person in the audience who knows best how powerful Yagi Kei's moves can be.

He even changed his previous misconception and switched to the premise that 'Yagi's strength is unfathomable'.

Even so, looking at this 'big bang' again, something was completely wrong.

This ball...was it originally so powerful?

Kintaro Toyama came forward and forced him to hold the racket with both hands. It was simply too heavy!

It even forced him to retreat. Compared with the previous fireball, this ball had more twists and turns, and it made him spin and fly out.

The seamless blessing and this force constantly repelled and offset each other, and the weakening power of the 'Light of Reservedness' was used again and again.

However, the power of this ball seemed to be amplified and became more intense, even reaching a limit visible to the naked eye.

Gritting his teeth and struggling, Toyama Kintaro used almost all his strength to smash himself into the ball and knock it out.

The high-speed friction of the ball in return caused a faint glow of fire to appear, and even the surrounding air was distorted.

The tense side suddenly reversed and became Rikkai University,

This ball came with such force and speed that it was no longer just an ordinary return shot. A single mistake could cause devastating damage.

"Are they...really still playing tennis?"

Looking at the net that was burned by every ball hit, after several rounds the upper layer of the net had been burned into a black charcoal, Kamio Akira of Fudomine couldn't help but gasp.

Ibu Shinji was silent, and not only him, but also some members of Seigaku,

This kind of fighting strength... is completely beyond their reach.

Whether it's Shitenhoji or Rikkai University... the strength of the new generation of first-year students is so terrifying!

This terrifying first-year combination continues,

Yagi Kei hit the ball head on without any hesitation.

Gripping the racket, he charged forward, and Toyama Kintaro's 'Light of Reservedness' took effect once again, continuously weakening the player's five-dimensional stats.

The five-dimensional graph is getting lower and lower, but the return shots are getting more and more fierce.

Another "empty, empty, empty, empty—" shot was hit back. Kintaro Toyama's eyes trembled on the other side of the net, and he once again felt the unmatched pressure.

Now even the slowest one could sense something was wrong.

The Light of Reserve is used to weaken the opponent, interfere with them, and prevent them from exerting their original strength.

But now...looking at Yagi Kei's condition, it's not weakened at all, it's clearly a disguised improvement--

...Wait, upgrade?

"This is the ultimate in perfection... right?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke had already vaguely anticipated something, but he took a deep breath, still finding it hard to accept the answer that was right in front of him.

Qiansui Qianli, who has been dedicated to studying the three doors, is the only one among the two who has guessed the answer at this moment.

Even he, faced with such a situation, could not help but fall into deeper silence.

According to the conclusion of the door of the ultimate flawless attack, the "Light of Reserve" can definitely weaken the opponent and affect the strength displayed by the opponent.

However, that means that the opponent has already displayed his full strength.

If the opponent does not show his full strength... or even has some hidden strength, then after the influence of the 'Light of Reserve' is weakened, the strength that appears again after being weakened will be his full strength.

“…”

Thinking of this, both Chitose Chisato and Shiraishi Kuranosuke were speechless for a long time.

They had always thought that what appeared before them was the true strength of Yagi Kei.

But after each challenge, his ceiling kept rising and rising...Now it has risen to a level where just thinking about it makes him feel terrified.

This guy from Rikkai University...where on earth did he come from?!

The Shitenboji off the field was in a state of confusion, and the Shitenboji on the field was also in agony.

Even though he activated the "Perfect Perfection", the situation did not change at all, he was still being suppressed by the single leader.

Even the weakening effect of 'Light of Reserved' has the opposite effect, not weakening, but enhancing.

What Kintaro Toyama is facing now is not just a difficult situation, he is completely at a loss.

What's more, the selfless mode consumes more physical strength. Under the double consumption effect, even if his physical strength bar is very long, he can't stand it.

How can a finite, fatigued human being face an unlimited, fully automatic tennis machine with endless energy?

“15:0!”

“30:0!”

“40:0!”

Another sharp whistle sounded, and the referee waved his arm, "Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji - 3:0!"

"...Xiao Jin,"

The cabbage Zaizen Hikaru, who was hiding in the corner, and Ken Oshitari, who was cosplaying as a thirsty fish, finally recovered and became much more conscious. They looked at the scene on the court with a dusty face.

The moment they saw clearly, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this... demolition?"

There was no other reason. The entire stadium was filled with the rubble of the bombardment. The referee sitting alone in the referee chair remained calm despite the collapse of the mountain. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that he had already left.

But the battle continued, and Toyama Kintaro, who had greatly depleted his physical strength, almost caught every ball and kept pulling with Yagi Kei.

But each stronger pull was accompanied by a decline in Kintaro Toyama's condition until the pull became irresistible and the return ball hit the court hard.

The serving game was changed again, this time it was Toyama Kintaro's turn to stand at the baseline and take the ball out of his pocket.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, especially those at Shitenboji Temple who were filled with some worry,

Still driving the "perfect limit", every move of Toyama Kintaro is gripping the heartstrings.

"Xiao Jin..."

This serving game was the last chance to turn things around. If I could seize it, if I could score a point, if...

Toyama Kintaro slowly grasped the tennis ball, looking up at the dark-haired figure across from him, whose expression remained unchanged.

He made his decision.

"...What kind of serve will Xiao Jin use?"

"Is it Xiao Jin's special move, or something else? The butterfly ball I copied before can no longer be used. Think carefully, Xiao Jin..."

The person who discusses, the person who is watched, the person who is in the spotlight,

He held the ball, slowly caught it, threw it, and swung the racket smoothly.

Once again, that heavy and dark figure completely covered

In this last and crucial round, Kintaro Toyama resolutely chose to copy '365-degree Thomas spin, 100% chance of catching the blade with bare hands, the scheming frog touches your belly again, and the invincible big bang attack' again!

“…”

Shiraishi Kuranosuke clenched his fist deeply.

"I made a wrong choice...Xiao Jin."
