Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Chapter 180: Longma VS Xiaojin (End I)

Longma slowly and calmly sat back in his seat, but his heart was like the sea being beaten by strong winds and huge waves, and it took a long time to calm down.

In his mind, Tianyu's words, full of profound meaning, kept echoing over and over again - "Are you happy playing tennis, Ryoma?"

At this moment, with the referee's crisp and loud whistle, the game started in full swing again, and also pulled Longma's scattered thoughts back to the tense and fierce competition.

At this time, the scoreboard clearly showed "1-3", and he was still two points behind his opponent. The situation was not optimistic.

After a short rest, his physical strength had recovered to 70% to 80%.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

Next, it was Ryoma Echizen's turn to serve.

He stood behind the baseline, looking focused and calm.

He just gently tossed the ball up, high enough to give him enough time to adjust his posture.

The moment the ball reached its highest point, he began to lean backward. His body tilted so much that he seemed to be losing his balance. This exaggerated posture made the audience hold their breath.

Then, he exerted force with his left hand, which tightened instantly like a spring, and concentrated all the strength of his body on the racket.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the tennis ball was hit out so fast that only a yellow afterimage could be seen.

Keigo Atobe, who was watching the game attentively on the side, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "Good boy, isn't this his signature move—the Tannhauser serve? I didn't expect Longma to have already learned this move."

The tennis ball drew a perfect arc in the air and then landed heavily on the opponent's court.

However, unexpectedly, the tennis ball did not bounce up as usual after landing, but slid directly for a distance and then flew out of the court.

This serve was not only incredibly fast, but also had a tricky angle, leaving the opponent no time to react.

"15-0, Qingxue leads."

Xiao Jin's face was filled with excitement. He clenched his fists and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

It was the first time he had witnessed such a stunning serve, and his heart was filled with envy.

"Hey, hey, hey, get ahead. Be sure to teach me this trick after the game." He shouted to Longma impatiently.

However, Longma seemed not to have heard it. His eyes remained firm and focused as he continued to prepare for the next serve.

The game is still going on, and he must maintain his rhythm and condition to win the final victory.

Then, two more serves from Tannhäuser were served, and Ryoma successfully scored two points.

However, despite his full concentration on the game, his face did not look very good.

Indeed, this is something that cannot be helped.

The serving technique that Tannhauser used is not suitable for players of his height to use frequently.

If he relies on this serving method for a long time, his height limitations will gradually become apparent, and it will only be a matter of time before flaws and weaknesses appear.

Faced with such a dilemma, a hint of determination flashed in Longma's eyes.

If we want to win this game, something has to change.

So he took a deep breath and decided to change his strategy.

Longma stood still as calmly as before, then swung his racket suddenly and hit a seemingly perfect serve.

But what shocked everyone present was that this time the ball did not slide towards Xiao Jin's baseline like before, but instead slid towards the net in the middle of the court at a strange angle.

Xiao Jin obviously did not expect this move. He had already run to the baseline in advance and prepared to fight back based on Longma's previous serving pattern, but he did not expect that this time he would miss.

A trace of astonishment flashed across his face, and he was obviously disrupted by Longma's sudden change.

"Game Aoi Echizen, 2-3."

Tianyu on the sidelines smiled and shook his head, praising him, "Good boy, another zero serve. Is there anything he can't do?"

You know what, there are some tricks that even a genius like Echizen Ryoma finds difficult to master after entering into the state of Wuya.

For example, Tianyu's unique skills are a hurdle in Longma's heart. It is a skill that he has always dreamed of imitating but has never been able to grasp the essence of.

Whenever Longma tried to capture that trace, he always found it difficult to touch its essence.

At this critical moment, Longma once again burst out with selfless power. He suddenly exerted force, like an awakened lion, and once again firmly pulled the initiative of the game back into his own hands.

Faced with Longma's fierce attack, Xiao Jin was a little at a loss for a moment. He obviously did not expect Longma to launch such a swift counterattack at this time.

So, under Longma's series of moves, Xiao Jin gradually lost his rhythm and was instantly defeated by Longma.

The numbers on the scoreboard also changed accordingly, "3-3", the two sides once again stood on the same starting line, as if they had returned to the original starting point.

This is undoubtedly good and exciting news for the audience who support Longma.

Ryoma finally equalized the score!

However, at the same time, a piece of bad news that cannot be ignored also came.

That means Longma is out of strength again.

In the fierce attack and defense transition just now, although Longma successfully reversed the situation, he also paid a huge physical price.

His breathing became rapid and his face turned pale. It was obvious that he had reached his physical limit again.

At this moment, on the highly anticipated court, Longma's serve came again.

He stood at the baseline, ready to serve.

However, at this critical moment, something strange happened to Longma's body.

He suddenly felt his eyes go dark and the whole world seemed to lose its color in an instant. Then, his body tilted forward uncontrollably and finally fell heavily to the ground.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone present was caught off guard.

Long Ma's current condition has clearly exceeded the limits of his physical strength.

The long and intense games, high-intensity confrontations, and constantly stimulated potential have put tremendous pressure on his body.

Falling down at this moment might be the final warning from his body.

Seeing this scene, the audience and everyone in Qingxue fell into silence involuntarily.

Oishi and the others looked at Ryoma lying on the ground, their hearts filled with worry and anxiety.

This young man who had brought them countless surprises was now lying helplessly on the field.

In Longma's subconscious that was about to fall into chaos, he began to recall every detail of his life since returning to China.

The happy times he spent with his Seigaku teammates played slowly in his mind like a heartwarming movie.

From the first time I stepped onto the campus of Qingxue, to fighting side by side with my teammates, to those days of sweating on the training ground, every moment was filled with laughter and tears.
