Net King: My skills come from death

Chapter 1 vs Byodoin Phoenix

U17 Houshan training ground.

"Are you leaving? Come to a battle with me."

Byodoin Phoenix stared at the gentle and smiling young man across the way, slapping tennis balls in his hands, with a resigned tone.

"No, I'll call when I come back." Shendailan put on her bag and smiled gently.

"Are you running away?" Byodoin Phoenix's eyes became fierce.

"Hey, little bird, you are not qualified to say such things to me now."

"Bastard, I'm not a bird!" Byodoin Phoenix said through gritted teeth.

"Whatever, goodbye."

Even though they have known each other for several years, Byodoin Phoenix still doesn't understand the true strength of Jindai Lan.

Looking at the back of Shendailan leaving in a cool way, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

He led the middle school to win the second consecutive championship in the middle school period, and entered the u17 training camp as a winner.

I thought I would continue the legend of the king, but I didn't expect that I was defeated by Oni Jujiro and became a loser.

Because, he has not reached that realm.

He is confident that if he arrives, Oni Jujiro will not be worth mentioning at all.

He still remembers the embarrassment and humiliation of losing.

"Fenghuang, you lost, go and experience hell."

With the final word, he was exiled here.

At Mifune's request, he was forced to confront Kandai Lan.

Because of that battle, it became the reason why I have been exceeding the limit so far.

In his mind, he recalled the scene when he first saw Goddai Lan.

The U17 back mountain training camp two years ago.

"That kid is my nephew from afar. He is a middle school student. He has a proud personality. He thinks that he is invincible in the game. Go and frustrate him." Mifune said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The Phoenix of Byodoin Temple looked at the distant Shendai Lan.

Jindai Lan has brown hair, with bangs hanging down, and the thick black frame almost covers the eyes.

No matter how you look at it, you look like a middle school student.

I am a high school student anyway, such a guy as my opponent
"Are you kidding! I didn't come here to play house with little kids." Byodoin Phoenix's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said coldly.

Mifune watched this scene with a smile, and did not forget to bow his head and said: "Kamiyo, he looks down on you."

Mifune entered the road and was once the opponent of the tennis legend Echizen Nanjiro. After retiring, he became the U17 head coach and taught the new generation.

Especially enjoyed teaching these prickly heads.

Because whenever these prickly heads showed deflated expressions, his heart would feel refreshed.

But he would like to see the scene where Kato defeats Godai Lan more. It must be able to make that little kid who always smiles softly show a funny expression.

Byodoin Phoenix is ​​already very close to that realm, how would such a bad kid from the Age of God train him?

The current atmosphere is not hot enough, let's add more fire.

Mifune took another sip of the wine, smiling brighter.

"Phoenix boy, behave well."

"If you can defeat him, I'll teach you another dimension." He shouted at Byodoin Phoenix.

Hearing this, Byodoin Phoenix's eyes lit up.

"That's what you said." Byodoin Phoenix raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the racket and walked towards the court.

"Child, come to the stadium quickly, I will deal with you immediately."

Shendailan still had a warm smile, even though he was so slighted by Byodoin Phoenix, he never showed a hint of anger.

"Phoenix of Byodoin Temple, I have known you for a long time, please give me your advice." He said with a smile, emphasizing the words "advise me a lot".

Turning around, he took out a cross racket with only two threads from the worn-out tennis bag on the ground, and made a troubled expression:

"Oh, the strings of the racket are all broken, it's really distressing."

"However. It's enough to deal with you." Shendai Lan turned around with a smile on his face.

That gentle tone fell into the ears of Byodoin Phoenix, but it was a naked humiliation.

The two-line racket is used to practice the sweet spot. The ball can only be returned by hitting the part where the lines meet, which requires extremely high ball control.

In a tennis match, the influence of thoughts, running, and even breathing on stability is infinitely magnified.

Jindai Lan dared to use a cross racket to challenge, which showed that he did not take himself seriously at all.

Such an arrogant guy.

No, look at it from another angle.

He has touched the sweet spot at this age, this kid's talent is not simple.

Byodoin Phoenix's face darkened, he clenched his racket tightly, his legs slightly bent, and made a ready posture.

"One round decides the outcome, the Phoenix kid will serve first."

When the two are in place, the three boats are on the road.

Byodoin Phoenix took the ball, slapped the tennis ball on the ground a few times, and looked at Jindai Lan, trying to find the opponent's flaw.

In sight, Shendailan, who was casually holding a racket with one hand in his pocket, had an elegant and calm demeanor, without any flaws at all.

No wonder he dared to take a cross racket.

It seems to be a bit capable.

But putting one hand in your pocket is too confident.

Let's try it first.

Several thoughts flashed through Byodoin Phoenix's mind.

He threw the tennis ball high, his knees slightly bent, and his gaze followed the tennis ball.

When the tennis ball fell to a certain height, he jumped up, his arm muscles bulged, and he swung the racket violently.

"Bang." The tennis ball flew towards Lan Jindai's feet like lightning.

Such a speed should not be able to stop him.

The Phoenix of Byodoin Temple has a confident expression.

however.

With the crisp sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball hit back at Byodoin Phoenix's feet at a faster speed and bounced off the court.

"15-0." Mifune's voice sounded.

Jindai Lan still maintained the previous posture of putting one hand in his pocket, even swinging his racket looked lazy.

Byodoin Temple Phoenix's pupils shrank, and he turned his head stiffly.

The ground full of gravel is as fragile as tofu in front of tennis balls, leaving a ball pit at least three centimeters deep.

Is this the speed and strength that junior high school students can have?

I didn't even react.

Byodoin Phoenix felt his hairs stand on end.

Jindai Lan showed a warm smile, and said slowly in the most gentle tone:

"The lion is fighting the rabbit with all its strength, but you are so arrogant as a weak person. It's really ugly, Birdie of Byodoin Temple."

Kandai Lan's words and nickname made Byodoin Phoenix's face extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched the racket in his hand.

"I admit that I underestimated you, but don't make me too proud!"

After saying that, he threw the tennis ball up, leaped high, and the muscles of his right hand burst out with astonishing strength, hitting the tennis ball towards the court where Shendailan was.

The moment the tennis ball was hit, it almost turned into an oval shape, breaking through the wind.

This time, the speed of the tennis ball was at least [-]% faster, and ordinary people couldn't even catch the ball.

"Bang." With the crisp return sound, the ball landed at the feet of Byodoin Phoenix at the same flying height.

But this time, Byodoin Phoenix, who was going all out, moved lightly and returned the tennis ball cleanly.

"Bang." Shendai Lan still put one hand in his pocket and hit back again.

The tennis ball hits the same corner, deepening the hole.

The irregular surface of the pit made the tennis ball bounce unpredictablely, gliding across the cheek of Byodoin Phoenix at a strange angle.

"30-0."

Following Mifune's announcement of the score, Byodoin Phoenix's face became more serious.

The ground full of gravel and potholes on the training ground will bring unpredictable ejection to the tennis ball, which also prevents him from playing his normal strength.

However, Shendailan on the opposite side seemed to be completely unaffected. He was able to get in position before the landing point every time, and his counterattack posture was as perfect and neat as a textbook.

Hitting and serving in tennis may seem simple, but in fact, small changes in posture will bring about a huge difference in tennis trajectory.

Especially on this kind of irregular ground, when the ball is ejected unexpectedly, the posture and strength of the swing will inevitably change, resulting in a reduction in the accuracy of the return.

But the middle school student hit back perfectly with a cross shot.

You can't do it without a strong tennis foundation.

"Whew." Byodoin Phoenix took a deep breath, half-bent his knees solemnly, and fixed his gaze on Shendailan.

He clenched his racket tightly, threw the ball high again, and hit it with all his strength, his eyes fixed on the movement of the ball.

The ball hits the ground, redirected by the gravel.

However, Jindai Lan was already in place at the right angle, raising the beat.

"Bang." With the crisp return, the tennis ball fell into the same pothole as before at a faster speed.

"Damn it, he wasn't affected at all?" Byodoin Phoenix hit the tennis ball hard to the right half near the bottom corner, trying to weaken Shendailan's ball control by running left and right.

"Is this the strength of the national championship champion?" Shendailan's figure appeared at the landing point as if teleporting, swinging his racket easily.

The same freehand pose.

Same rhythm.

The tennis ball flew towards the same pit again.

"What kind of agility is that? Is it Okinawa's land-shrinking method?" Byodoin Phoenix narrowed his eyes and hit the ball back with great effort.

Since Jindailan has been hitting the ball to the same point, it is not difficult to catch the ball. You only need to pay attention to the trajectory of the ball that may be changed at any time due to gravel.

But the proud Byodoin Phoenix doesn't allow himself to be played by his opponents like this, so he keeps using tennis balls to make Jindailan run, trying to reduce Jindailan's control over the accuracy of counterattacks.

With the fierce offensive and defensive counterattacks, Byodoin Phoenix gradually became familiar with the ground under its feet, and the counterattack became more powerful.

It's just that the tennis ball hit back by Shendailan always landed in the same small pit.

This made Byodoin Phoenix unavoidably a little anxious.

"Be serious!" he roared, and his anger made this time's counterattack extraordinarily powerful.

"It seems that you are already familiar with this venue, so I'm going to fight back." Shendai Lan's voice sounded, making Byodoin Phoenix's expression even more cold.

"One of the broken roads, rush."

I saw a white light burst out from the tennis ball at the moment it was hit, flashed by quickly, and fell towards the pothole.

"What a fast speed!!" This caught Byodoin Phoenix, who was already familiar with the speed of the previous counterattack, a little caught off guard and swung his racket in a hurry.

The tennis ball made a crunching sound as it landed on the racket, and the tremendous force turned Byodoin's face into a phoenix.

He roared and wanted to hit the tennis ball back, but he couldn't maintain his previous swing and made a mistake and hit a lob.

"The Eleventh of Breaking the Way: Thunderbolt."

"Shua!" Byodoin Phoenix felt his eyes go dizzy, and saw the tennis ball pressed into the pothole with blue tracks and bounced off the court.

"Damn it!" Byodoin Phoenix's amazing reflexes worked perfectly, and he kicked hard with his right leg.Trying to catch a tennis ball.

However, this ball was too fast, so fast that even if he tried his best to catch up, he still couldn't touch it.

"Damn it! I must meet it! I can definitely touch it! I don't want to lose again!" Byodoin Phoenix was full of resignation, recalling the scene of defeat with Oni Jujiro in his mind, his body surged with strength.

He jumped vigorously, stretched his arms, and stared at the tennis ball that was so fast that it left lightning trails, ignoring his body that had lost its balance.

Finally, his racket touched the tennis ball.

"Crunch." The tennis ball hit the sturdy racket and spun violently, and the blue lightning crazily climbed onto his arm like a bloodthirsty ant. The terrifying force from it shocked Byodoin Phoenix.

I was so embarrassed by the middle school students!

From junior high school to high school, Byodoin Phoenix is ​​a self-proclaimed genius and has never failed.

At this moment, he felt the frustration of talent in Shendailan. .

"Are you kidding me? Am I going to lose to a middle school student?"

Proud self-esteem does not allow him to bow his head like this.

His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and tried his best to support it.

"Give it to me. Go there!!"

"Bang." The racket was knocked into the air.

The tennis ball hit the ground like a cannonball, making a heavy sound.

"Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" blue thunder and lightning can be faintly seen at the landing point, making crackling noises.

"40-0."

"Huchihuchi." Byodoin Phoenix, who lost his balance, fell to the ground, resting his hands on the ground in embarrassment, panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Right hand is paralyzed.

Even though it was only three goals, his body was already feeling exhausted.

"Hey, does the honor of the national championship in high school make your body rotten, and you can't even catch up with such a slow ball."

"Or, your opponents are a group of dust that can only look up at the starry sky?"

Shendailan's slow voice came.

"Damn guy." Being provoked one after another, coupled with the unwillingness to lose to Oni Jujiro before, Byodoin Phoenix's breathing became heavy, his fingers turned white, and the tennis ball in his hand was almost pinched and deformed.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light lit up from his hand, quickly lighting up the night sky.

The moment the racket was swung, the golden tennis ball rushed towards Lan Jindai with an indomitable momentum.

Leaving behind a slender golden trail, the place passing by was trembling with strong winds, and gravel flew.

"At that time, although he didn't touch the different dimension, he was able to catch my light shot." Putting away the memories, there was a strong fear in the eyes of Byodoin Phoenix.

Shendailan, who is only a middle school student, already has the foundation to surpass himself.

Such a talent is simply too frightening.

If it wasn't for that battle, I wouldn't be obsessed with it.

So much so that in the past year, I practiced crazily and hard.

Just to be able to defeat that unreachable opponent and wash away the shame of the past.

Unfortunately.

A few years have passed, but I haven't played tennis with him once.

"With his talent, he should have comprehended different dimensions." Byodoin Phoenix quietly clenched the racket, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "But I am no longer the old me, and I will not lose again."

"When we meet again, you have no reason to refuse. I will personally defeat you, Shendailan."
