“The Pinnacle of Perfection?”
Sanada frowned. He could also enter the Pinnacle of Perfection, but he wasn't as skilled as Tezuka Kunimitsu in utilizing its profound mysteries.
“Isn't that a legendary state only accessible to those chosen?”
Kirehara Akaya looked at Sanada.
In Japan, there are various rumors surrounding the Pinnacle of Perfection, but few have witnessed it firsthand.
“Trying to defeat Seiichi with just the Limit of Muga's Refinement?”
Mori Juzaburo looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu on the court, a peculiar glint in his narrowed eyes.
“The Limit of Muga's Refinement is a state where speed, power, spin, everything is countered with doubled force!”
Yanagi Renji said calmly, “But the side effect is rapid stamina depletion.”
Yagyu Hiroshi, Jack Kuwahara, Marui Bunta, and others frowned. If the side effect was so significant,
why would Tezuka Kunimitsu still enter this state?
Was it because he knew he was outmatched and wanted to score as many points as possible?
Niou Masaharu narrowed his eyes, his gaze constantly shifting between Yukimura and Tezuka Kunimitsu, a gleam of shrewdness occasionally flashing within.
Third game, Tezuka Kunimitsu's service game.
Having entered the Limit of Muga's Refinement, Tezuka Kunimitsu's aura had reached its peak.
Whoosh—.
The moment the tennis ball was tossed into the air, everyone's eyes turned to Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Tezuka Kunimitsu swung his arm, his racket rising sharply, and then, as the tennis ball fell, he swung!
Bang! The racket struck the tennis ball, instantly creating a terrifying vibration.
A wisp of blue smoke, visible to the naked eye, filled the air.
The speed, power, and spin of this shot were far greater than before!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The terrifying sound of air being torn apart continuously echoed, and it landed near Yukimura's feet almost instantly.
Accompanied by a dull explosion, a cloud of dust billowed up.
Yukimura remained calm, rotating his racket and instantly returning the tennis ball.
Tezuka Kunimitsu naturally knew that Tezuka Zone was no longer effective against Yukimura, so he simply didn't use it!
The moment Yukimura returned the tennis ball, Tezuka Kunimitsu had already begun to move in advance.
Bang! A dull thud resounded, and a powerful airflow centered around Tezuka Kunimitsu spread continuously outwards.
Then, Tezuka Kunimitsu exerted force with his arm, instantly sending the tennis ball flying.
Moreover, in the Limit of Muga's Refinement state, power, speed, and spin were all doubled as it rushed towards Yukimura.
On the opposite side, Yukimura looked at the incoming tennis ball, a glint appearing in his violet eyes.
The next second, his figure had disappeared from the spot.
When Yukimura reappeared, he had already arrived at the ball's landing point.
The tennis ball caused the ground to tremble upon impact, and then he swung his arm violently!
Boom! A dull explosion echoed in everyone's ears.
Swoosh! The tennis ball carried a sharp, whistling sound, like an arrow shot from a bow, quickly rushing towards Tezuka Kunimitsu.
A wisp of blue smoke, visible to the naked eye, filled the air, and a terrifying air current rolled within.
At the same time, the light of Tezuka Kunimitsu's Limit of Muga's Refinement seemed to shine even brighter.
Boom! The next moment, the sound of the racket and tennis ball colliding instantly reverberated throughout the entire court.
Centered around Tezuka Kunimitsu, a terrifying air current continuously spread outwards.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly felt the force transmitted from his arm becoming stronger and stronger, almost breaking free from his racket.
Suddenly, another terrifying force came from the racket!
With a soft 'pop,' Tezuka Kunimitsu's wrist loosened, and the racket was knocked away.
“0 : 15!”
The referee paused for a moment, then regained his senses and announced loudly.
“How could this be?”
Oishi Shuichiro's expression changed upon seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu concede another point.
Fuji Syusuke revealed surprise in his eyes: “The Limit of Muga's Refinement didn't double the return??”
“Although the Limit of Muga's Refinement can double the opponent's return, I'm afraid it also requires the user to be able to withstand the limit himself.
Inui Sadaharu speculated, “Perhaps Tezuka's wrist couldn't withstand Yukimura's return force, which led to the Limit of Muga's Refinement being unable to counter with doubled force.”
“If that's the case, then what will Captain do next?”
Momoshiro Takeshi couldn't help but ask.
“I don't know.”
Inui Sadaharu shook his head. No one could guess how this match would turn out.
On the court, the match continued.
Only the score between the two was constantly changing.
30:0!
40:0!
“Game, Rikkaidai Affiliated Middle School, Yukimura Seiichi, score 3:0!”
With the referee's voice, Yukimura had already won three consecutive games.
“As expected, Captain is the strongest!!”
Kirihara Akaya looked at the score on the scoreboard, saying with a determined expression.
No one in the middle school world is Yukimura's opponent anymore, there is no doubt about that!
“The match is almost over.”
Yanagi Renji looked at the time and said calmly.
The reason why Yukimura came out was to know how Tezuka Kunimitsu had changed in the past year.
Now that Yukimura has almost understood, there is no need to continue the match.
Unless Tezuka Kunimitsu hasn't exerted his full strength.
But facing Yukimura's strength, does Tezuka Kunimitsu still have any reservations?
Sanada looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu on the court, lost in thought, seemingly considering what hidden strength Tezuka Kunimitsu still had.
At this time, the score had already reached 4:0!
In four games, Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't get a single point, completely crushed by Yukimura.
On the court.
Sweat trickled down Tezuka Kunimitsu's forehead, and his breathing became rapid, but his eyes remained firm.
Without the support of Tezuka Zone, the Limit of Muga's Refinement requires a lot of stamina to maintain, and without Tezuka Zone, the so-called mysteries of the Pinnacle of Perfection become meaningless.
The fifth game is Tezuka Kunimitsu's service game.
It is also his last service game. If he can't hold this game, Tezuka Kunimitsu will be defeated by Yukimura 6:0.
Want to score from Yukimura · ·
Is it possible?
Inoue Mamoru and many foreign tennis reporters looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu.
“Captain!!”
Seigaku's faces were extremely tense.
On the opposite side, Yukimura's expression was as usual, with a faint, gentle smile on his face, and his breathing was not disturbed at all,
He didn't even sweat much.
“Hoo...”
Tezuka Kunimitsu exhaled a breath of foul air, his expression becoming more and more serious.
“Hmm?”
In the Rikkaidai team, Sanada frowned.
“His aura—it's changed!”
Mori Juzaburo took a deep look at Tezuka Kunimitsu and said.
“The Pinnacle of Perfection?”
Niou Masaharu narrowed his eyes, somewhat doubtful.
