I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 373 The Emperor’s Advancement, Ashura’s Theater!
Bang!
"The first set is over."

"Irie wins, score 7-5!"

As Irie turned on the [Acting] mode, he won the first set from Atobe without any suspense.

"call"

As he walked out of the court and into the rest area, Atobe let out a deep breath. He looked up at Irie, his eyes filled with fear.

Atobe never expected that the opponent actually possessed such super-normal abilities as Ashura Shinto and Light Hitting.

In contrast.

Whether it was his imperial aura or the Atobe Kingdom, they were all like a child playing house.

"Japan U17 is really a hidden talent!"

Chitose, Tachibana and the others also looked at Irie in awe.

Ashura Shinto and Hikari Hit the Ball, if you take just one of them, it's enough to defeat most middle school students. And this Irie, like Tokugawa, has mastered both.

And Atobe's strength is even inferior to Yukimura's. At this point in the game, the outcome is already determined.

"Atobe."

On Hyotei's side, Oshitari, Shishido and others also looked extremely solemn. They thought that Atobe would be the first person to qualify for Hyotei.

Unfortunately, the opponent is too strong!
Everyone shook their heads and no longer had any hope for this game.

Even Atobe himself was somewhat discouraged. Although he was proud and unwilling to fail, he still had self-awareness.

It was impossible for him to break through the blockade of Ashura Shinto at the moment. Even hitting the ball with light was difficult to return.

"how?"

At this time.

A cold voice sounded.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards Irie, thinking that the other party, after gaining the upper hand, began to mock and ridicule Atobe again.

But at this moment, Irie had a smiling expression on his face. Moreover, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

"That person is"

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a young man with blue-white hair who was as tall as an iron tower and had a cold expression.

More wisdom moonlight.

The head of the tennis club of Hyotei High School.

At the same time, he was also the legendary figure who led Hyotei to the national competition before Atobe.

"Well"

Facing Ochi's sharp gaze, Atobe raised his brows slightly. He didn't like the feeling of being scrutinized, even Ishikawa had never treated him like this.

"Atobe Keigo!"

However, Ochi seemed not to notice the change in Atobe's mood, and just said coldly: "Your strength should be more than this, right? Or..."

Speaking of which.

An indescribable sense of mental oppression was released from Yuezhi: "You are the Minister of Hyotei, is this the extent of yours?"

Swish!
This statement came out.

Atobe's expression changed instantly.

If it were just based on his personal identity, winning or losing this game might have some meaning, but it would not be that important.

but.

Ochi's words touched the deepest part of Atobe's heart, the thing he tried hard to forget, Minister Hyotei!

Especially with Ochi in front and Ishikawa behind.

Sandwiched between the two, Atobe will undoubtedly be compared with the two in the future as Hyotei wins the national championship for three consecutive times or even achieves even more amazing achievements.

Ochi was the pioneer who led Hyotei to complete the accumulation from 0 to 1.

Ishikawa was a pioneer who dominated the junior high school tennis world and even the high school tennis world with his great talent and strength, remaining undefeated.

But what about Tsuchiya?

What people remember is that when he was in junior high school, the Hyotei he led was suppressed by Rikkai University. He was suppressed by Sanada's immovable mountain and it was difficult to break through.

At his peak, he was strongly defeated by Tezuka of Aogaku and became a stepping stone for the opponent.

When he reached the U17 level, he became the target of others' jokes.

All these things came together to produce a qualitative change, and eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Click.

Kaka.

then.

Everyone was surprised to find that Tezuka, who had been trying his best to show his elegance, was now clenching his fists tightly, making crackling sounds.

"I won't lose!"

Throwing down these words coldly, he walked into the court again.

"moonlight."

After Atobe entered, Otsuka turned around in surprise and looked at the young man next to him: "This is not like your style!"

"He hasn't lost yet."

However, Yue Zhi said calmly: "I can feel that he has a deep power that has not yet been stimulated."

"and"

Having said this, he turned his gaze and looked at Irie who was walking into the court: "That person will probably not let him go easily."

"Don't you want to enter the river?"

Daqu frowned in fear.

Irie Kanata.

The former person in charge of Course No. 3.

In the Second Army, he was indeed a well-known figure, but in the First Army, he seemed ordinary.

But now.

Everyone, including Kajima, Kimijima and himself, had just discovered that this usually cheerful and harmless looking guy actually had such strength.

The divine way of Asura!

Light hit!
Not to mention the junior high school students, even they felt a chill in their spine after seeing the horrific pit behind Atobe.

No one expected that Irie was hiding so deeply.

"Second set, Atobe serves, game over!"

Since the total number of games in the first set is an even number, the serving order remains unchanged, with Atobe serving first.

hum!
Without any reason, he suddenly burst out with the aura of an emperor, and once again, he opened up the Kingdom of Atobe.

Bang!
suddenly.

Atobe hit the tennis ball, aiming at the weakness of Irie's backhand.

That is the stance posture shown by the opponent's skeleton, a real weakness that is difficult to conceal.

hum!
But the next moment.

On Irie's body, the dark light of Ashura Shinto was radiating. A terrifying sense of oppression spread, and the ability weakened by the emperor's aura instantly returned to normal.

Bang!
Immediately.

Irie counterattacked and the tennis ball flew back like a cannonball.

boom!
When it was approaching Atobe, the powerful pressure of the ball squeezed the smoke and dust in front of Atobe into the sky.

"Well."

Looking at the smoke in front of him, a solemn look appeared in Atobe's eyes.

The existence of dust and fog blocked most of his vision. To some extent, it caused considerable interference to his Atobe Kingdom.

Immediately.

Atobe perked up.

Look ahead intently, ready to counterattack the moment the tennis ball appears.

Chi!
But the next moment.

A tennis ball as big as a hill suddenly broke through the smoke and appeared in front of him.

In an instant.

The blue and green lights shone alternately, and the light fell on Atobe's face, making his handsome face look unusually strange.

"This is...an alternate dimension of tennis?!"

A solemn look flashed in Atobe's eyes.

As the heir of a large consortium, his family didn't want him to waste too much energy on tennis, but with the resources available in Jibu, he could also obtain information that ordinary people could hardly get.

such as.

He once saw a description of professional players by a senior person in a high-level tennis magazine that required a very expensive subscription.

One of the key words is the so-called [Tennis Dimension]!
Including the [Ultra-Speed ​​Dimension] mastered by Ochi and the ability released by Irie now, they all belong to the [Tennis Dimension].

Atobe vaguely remembered that players who mastered this ability were essentially in a different tennis dimension from others.

Only by breaking through to the corresponding realm can you have the possibility of defeating your opponent.

just.

At that time, Atobe was dismissive of this and did not take these "exaggerated" information as true. As for how to break through to the realm of the tennis dimension, he had no idea at all.

"Drink!"

However, now that things have come to this, Atobe will not choose to escape. Facing the tennis ball as big as a mountain, he rushed forward, raised his racket and pulled it hard.

boom!
Explosions.

In the smoke that exploded instantly, people only saw a figure. Under the impact of the huge force, the whole person could not stop retreating continuously.

Bang.

Tezuka's body hit the wall hard before stopping.

Snap.
At the same time, the tennis ball rolled to his feet.

"0-15!"

The referee spoke and the whole place was silent. The high school students were so shocked that they were speechless, while the middle school students, especially the Hyotei players, showed strong concerns.

"Come again!"

However, Atobe let out a low growl and locked his eyes on his opponent fiercely.

"Nice look."

Irie nodded in satisfaction.

Atobe's current state was in line with what he wanted. He was still thinking about how to stimulate the other party, but Ochi's words were like a shot of chicken blood to Atobe, and the latter burst out with strength that was in line with Irie's expectations.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The game continues.

The two men continued to fight fiercely on the court.

Atobe went all out, not caring about his image any more. And for some reason, Irie did not speed up his attack, and a long tug-of-war began.

"Get stronger! I need to get stronger!"

Bottom line.

Atobe entered a state of extreme excitement, and displayed his most dangerous [Super Offensive] posture.

He knew very well that he was at an absolute disadvantage compared to his opponent. If he wanted to make up for this gap, he had to break through his own limits.

As for Tezuka, his most powerful feature is his eyesight, which is the ability to see through people's hearts.

therefore.

He was constantly improving his concentration and mental strength, and his sights were completely locked on his opponent.

then.

He gradually forgot about his surroundings, and the only thing in his sight was Irie's image.

Ball after ball.

Eventually, I even forgot about time.

hum!
a certain moment.

The scene in front of Atobe's eyes changed.

The tennis ball, the court, and the spectators around him disappeared. He was standing at the window of an old castle, looking into the distance.

There, there is a dark mountain of Hades.

The eerie feeling began to spread towards the area where he was the moment his eyes made contact.

Look below the castle.

The villages are scattered here and there.

On the streets, people looked at a group of knights riding tall horses in awe and sang songs of praise to them.

At this time.

Looking at his clothes again, Atobe realized that he was the king of this castle. The knights riding on tall horses were the ones who received his orders to go to the distant Nether Mountains to kill the knights of the Demon King.

That was the scourge of the kingdom that had existed since his birth.

Previous kings had wanted to solve this scourge, but never made up their minds.

at last.

Atobe succeeded to the throne.

Under his rule, the kingdom had continuous good harvests and the country became more and more prosperous. He trained a group of knights to eliminate the hidden dangers there.

Today is the day to conquer the enemy.

The whole city danced and watched the knights go to battle.

however.

The bad news came quickly.

The knights who went out to fight were annihilated. Without the protection of a powerful military force, the kingdom soon fell into turmoil and was invaded by neighboring countries. Atobe was captured in the chaos and sent to the guillotine.

Click!

In disbelief, he had his head chopped off by a guillotine.

Swish!
but.

When Atobe opened his eyes again, he found that he was not dead. At this time, he was riding on a majestic horse, followed by a group of fully armed soldiers.

When he looked up, he suddenly found himself on the way to the Nether Mountain.

The view ahead was getting dimmer.

The yin energy is so strong that it makes people feel timid.

but.

But Tsuchiya did not retreat.

He led the knights into the mountains to defeat the Demon King.

along the way.

They killed many enemies, but when facing the demon king wearing a horned helmet, their weapons were broken and they were easily killed by the opponent with just one finger.

Swish!
this time.

When Atobe opened his eyes.

He had become an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, making weapons for the knights who were about to go to war. In his hand, he was holding the knight's lance.

stab.

But he accidentally touched the spear to the red-hot iron furnace, softening part of it.

But the order was urgent, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deliver the spear. As a result, after the guards set out, news soon came that the entire army was annihilated.

Atobe himself also died in the chaos.

Swish!
the fourth time.

Atobe resurrected again.

This time he became an ordinary man, struggling for a living. Soon he heard the news that the Cavaliers were wiped out, and he died in the chaos again.

Swish!
the fifth time.

the sixth time.

Seventh time.

Atobe died again and again, and gradually, his consciousness was completely worn away. He wandered the streets like a zombie.

But in his heart, there was a voice calling him.

Follow this sound.

He met a team going to fight the devil, and followed them all the way to the bull-horned devil.

Click!

In front of the trace.

The knight leader's weapon broke and he was killed instantly by the opponent. The soldiers around him also died one after another, and finally, he was the only one left.

In despair.

That special voice reappeared in his mind.

“I won’t lose!”

"I am Keigo Atobe"

“I will never lose!”

Swish!
Suddenly.

Atobe opened his eyes wide, as if awakening, he picked up the broken spear and threw it with a puff.

Knock the devil's helmet to the ground.

next moment.

A round-faced young man with oval glasses appeared in front of him.

"Clap clap clap!!!"

In a trance.

A burst of warm applause rang in his ears.

Hula la.
At this time.

Behind the round-faced young demon king, two red curtains were drawn open.

"It's over, Atobe-kun."

On the other side, Irie, who represented the Demon King, spoke: "Thank you for cooperating with me and completing this performance. However, the final act of the hero's subjugation of the Demon King has ended."

Snap.
And this time.

Illusion and reality reversed, and Atobe was back on the court again. Under his shocked gaze, a tennis ball slowly rolled past Irie's feet.

"out!"

"competition is over."

"Irie wins, score 6-0!"

At this time.

The referee's voice sounded.

Only then did Atobe realize that the second round of the match had actually ended?

"A brave man defeats the devil?"

He lowered his head in a daze, feeling the golden aura that had suddenly increased in strength, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

In other words.

He unknowingly fell into the theater set up by the other party?
Every time the scene changes, it is an ending. And his identity, or his own mental power, becomes weaker and weaker as time goes by.

If he failed to recall his goal at the last moment and break through his own limits mentally, would that mean that his consciousness would forever sink into the theater set up by Irie?

"Gudu."

Think of this.

Even with his calmness, Jibe couldn't help swallowing.

"So, this is this person's real [Tennis Dimension]?!"
