Chapter 181: Longma VS Xiaojin (End II)
As the scenes of Longma's experience slowly replayed, they finally froze on that unforgettable scene.
Tianyu's meaningful words echoed in Echizen Ryoma's mind again and again, like the morning bell and evening drum, for a long time.
"Have fun playing tennis, Ryoma?"
These words were simple yet struck the heart, like a ray of light that penetrated the fog in Longma's heart.
At this moment, Longma, standing on the court, finally had a clear answer in his heart.
For him, tennis is not just a sport, but also a passion, a lifestyle that brings him infinite happiness and satisfaction.
Now, let us turn our attention back to the intense competition.
Longma fell to the ground exhausted, his clothes soaked with sweat and his panting echoed in the empty venue.
After more than twenty seconds, the referee was about to approach him to see if he could continue the game.
However, at this moment, Longma suddenly raised his head and a bright smile broke out on his face.
He whispered, his voice weak but full of joy: "Playing tennis is really fun, Dad, Senior Tianyu!"
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light emanated from Longma's entire body, illuminating the entire arena.
At this moment, Longma seemed to be reborn and became a brand new self.
Tianyu's expression became extremely complicated. He stared at the scene in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.
"This Nanjiro, he has to treat me to a meal later!"
Tianyu muttered to himself, with a bitter smile on his face.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to have been tricked by the old fox Nanjiro, and the trick was not light.
Tianyu couldn't help but frown when he thought of the trouble that would come.
Longma, I'm afraid he has awakened to the legendary realm of perfection.
This is undoubtedly a huge threat to their Ice Emperor's next game.
"This is really tricky."
Tianyu muttered to himself, his heart full of worry.
The increase in Longma's strength undoubtedly added many obstacles to their road to victory.
This is simply indirectly strengthening the opponent's strength, making their already difficult game even more difficult.
At this moment, Tianyu seemed to suddenly realize something. He turned his head suddenly and his eyes fell on Atobe.
Sure enough, Atobe was staring at him with a look that looked like he wanted to kill him.
Tianyu's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a huge pressure.
He sighed helplessly and could only turn his head to the other side, trying his best to avoid meeting Atobe's sharp gaze.
"Alas, out of sight, out of mind."
Tianyu sighed inwardly and tried to calm himself down.
Of course, Ryoma, who was immersed in his own world, had no idea what was happening off the court.
At this moment, Longma was immersed in an indescribable excellent state. He felt in an unprecedentedly good state. His whole body seemed to be filled with a very comfortable power. Every cell was cheering and looking forward to release and explosion.
The referee was surprised to see this, but he had no choice but to slowly walk back to his position and diligently remind Longma to serve as soon as possible to keep the game going normally.
In the brief interval before serving, Ryoma suddenly turned around and asked Xiao Jin across from him a slightly profound question: "Do you enjoy playing tennis, Toyama?"
This question made Xiao Jin stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Longma had slowly changed his position and walked to the position for the next serve.
Xiao Jin Yuanshan was so frightened by this series of actions that cold sweat broke out.
Long Ma smiled softly, turned to look at the referee, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Referee, aren't you going to announce the score?"
The referee was also stunned when he heard this. He clearly remembered that he had been keeping a close eye on the game, but strangely, he did not see the trajectory of the tennis ball flying across the court.
However, as a referee with a high degree of professionalism, he quickly adjusted his mentality and decisively requested a video replay on the sidelines to confirm the validity of Longma's serve.
After repeated careful confirmation, the video playback clearly showed that Longma's serve was accurate and landed steadily within the bounds. It was a perfect serve.
"15-0, Qingxue leads."
The referee finally announced the score, with a barely perceptible hint of wonder and admiration in his voice.
But at this moment, Xiao Jin was in a very bad situation. He felt under tremendous pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his shoulders, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He could only hope for the best, repeating to himself over and over again in his mind that everything that had just happened was just an accident, and that he was just seeing things.
However, reality ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.
Immediately afterwards, Longma served three powerful aces.
The speed of these three serves was astonishing, completely destroying Xiao Jin's confidence and causing his already shaky defense to collapse instantly.
The score suddenly reached "4-3" and Longma began to take the lead.
What made Xiao Jin even more desperate was that he couldn't even catch the shadow of the tennis ball!
Ryoma's serve was too fast, beyond his comprehension.
He could only stare blankly, and then helplessly accept the fact that the tennis ball fell into his own court.
Longma looked relaxed, with a faint smile on his lips.
He slowly walked to the center of the court, stood firmly on his feet, stared at Xiao Jin, and prepared to receive the serve.
Every movement he made seemed so calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.
The little blonde was stunned for a long moment before recovering from his shock and despair.
He took a deep breath and tried to adjust himself.
Then he hurriedly hit an ordinary serve.
However, for Longma at this time, this kind of serve was simply child's play.
He didn't even move his feet, just swung the racket lightly, and with a "bang", the tennis ball flew past quickly.
With this ball, Longma scored again.
An even brighter smile appeared on his face, while Xiao Jin looked depressed, as if he had already seen the end of his failure.
The following game became one-sided, with the overall score instantly reaching "5-3" and the smaller score reaching "40-0".
Ryoma leads with an overwhelming advantage.
Ever since Longma joined Tianyi Wufeng, Xiao Jin has never touched a tennis ball except for serving.
Even the most optimistic person would feel a little overwhelmed at this moment.
Ryoma was about to raise his hand to serve, ready to end the game.
Suddenly the referee blew the whistle and announced that the game was suspended.
Shitenhoji's coach, Osamu Watanabe, requested a timeout because one of Kogane's tennis racket strings was broken.
Therefore, Shitenhoji requested a timeout to change rackets.
