If you want to improve your skills, you can only practice more. Practice a few more times, and you'll naturally gain experience next time.
Until then, we can only let the enemy attack in a straight line at will.
"You bastard, you're really awful..."
Jonar's tone finally carried a hint of genuine gritted teeth. If he had been relatively indifferent before, now, facing Niou's harsh words, he had finally become a different person.
This person was more shrewd and terrifying than he had imagined; it was not a situation that could be resolved in an ordinary way.
Even though the match hasn't started yet, his gaze and the oppressive aura he exudes are already palpable.
He could feel a faint, direct pressure emanating from the air.
Is this the kind of straight-line pressure from the world's top players?
Jonar had faced off against his teammates and captain before, but they were teammates after all, and no matter how much they trained, they wouldn't really go too far. So this was the first time he had ever faced the feeling of being targeted by a vicious dog, ready to bite at any moment.
The feeling was strange; every fluctuation in the air seemed to tell him just how terrifying this guy was, making him want to back away and create distance between himself and him.
but……
His inner conviction told him that he couldn't just back down like this.
We must persevere and remain steadfast—
He held on until the very last second, gritting his teeth and persevering. It's just one person, isn't it? He could keep going. Even if he couldn't win, he would drag it out until his seniors won!
Niou smiled as he looked at the boy with his very expressive face.
"Oh my, it's rare to see a child like this. I remember you weren't like this last time."
During a match against the French team, Jonard was quite a shy and well-behaved boy!
You wouldn't guess it would look like this now.
What changed him?
Is it him, now her opponent, or the man beside her, who has once again driven him to evolve?
Niou couldn't say for sure, but on the court, change means progress, even if these changes aren't necessarily good, they still signify new evolution. Ultimately, this has special significance for a tennis player as a whole!
Niou appreciated this change, but...
"These changes are still not enough to impress me!"
"Hehe, whether my progress and composure are good enough or not is not for you to judge, but for my seniors to judge!"
Jonah wasn't swayed by Niou's words. In his own words, he was a typical doubles player. Although his life would take him through singles, he would continue to walk the path of doubles for the rest of his career. He just needed to focus on doing his best in doubles.
As for other things, he doesn't need to worry about them or care about them.
Niou couldn't manipulate him at all, even though Niou's words sounded useful and sharp. Since they didn't resonate with him, he wouldn't feel any distress!
"Haha, that would be best if that were the case..."
The reason these two have time to engage in verbal sparring is because on the other side of the battlefield, they've both fought to the point of near madness.
"Huh, what happened? We only exchanged a couple of words, what's wrong with them? They suddenly started fighting, and so fiercely?"
Even Niou was caught off guard, not knowing what was going on.
Just as the two of them were using their man-to-man tactics, Oni Jujiro and Edgar couldn't resist joining in.
Since one point has already been scored and the game has a time limit, it's impossible for us to just sit there waiting and say, "Let's start!"
It was still Oni Jujiro's serve. The man exerted all his strength, roaring like a demon as he charged towards his opponent.
Edgar, being tall, strong, and exceptionally robust, retaliated without backing down.
This time, unlike before, he withstood Oni Jujiro's attack, which led to an even fiercer counterattack.
"I never expected that your country would have someone who could stand up to me head-on."
Of course, Oni Jujiro understood the principle that there are always people better than you and there is always something beyond your understanding, but on the field, isn't that how some things are said?
If we could speak honestly, there wouldn't be so many problems.
Therefore, some provocations are inevitable, and some things must be said.
However, Edgar grew angrier the more he listened. This guy really didn't know how to talk. The worst part was that he could make people angry, and not a single word he said was pleasing to the ear!
"Your skill level isn't high enough to make you look down on everyone, so what makes you say that? If the person next to you had said that, I might have agreed somewhat, but unfortunately, his words are most effective and convincing in singles matches. In doubles, we're the ones who call the shots—"
After Edgar finished speaking, he gave a sneer, thinking that his words would definitely provoke Niou Masaharu. However, Niou Masaharu was completely distracted and was talking to Jonar, so he didn't hear what Edgar was saying at all.
Jujiro, who had listened attentively to those words, laughed as if he hadn't been provoked at all, and said, "What makes you think that the doubles court is your territory? Everything is still uncertain, the competition has only just begun, aren't you being too arrogant?"
Some people dare to say such things precisely because they know little about the situation. Once they knew the whole truth, would they still dare to make such outrageous statements? Of course not.
It's a pity that the first round was his home turf. He can only save his moment to shock everyone for the second round. Hopefully, he won't be so shocked that he loses his last bit of Dao heart; that would truly be a loss against all odds.
"Now, witness my hell!"
Then, Oni Jujiro became extremely happy and unleashed his other-dimensional power even more brutally. Edgar, naturally, wasn't going to be outdone and used his own special move. The two then clashed with their special moves, and that's how things ended up like this—the collision went a bit too far.
