Chapter 168 Tyrant vs. Fraudster (Part )
Yukimura looked at the demoralized crowd with a faint smile on his face. He clapped his hands gently, the sound was crisp and pleasant, as if it had a magical power, making everyone's attention focused on him.
"Alright, alright everyone, we haven't lost yet. Besides, as long as I'm here, we won't lose, right?"
His tone was relaxed and confident, with a power that was unquestionable.
This sentence may not have much effect if said by others, but when it comes from Yukimura, it has a completely different meaning.
Because that was Yukimura! The man known as the "Son of God," his strength and leadership were unquestionable.
After hearing Yukimura's words, everyone at Rikkai University suddenly felt a surge of confidence.
Yes, although they are at a disadvantage now, as long as they drag the game to the last game, won’t they have a chance to turn defeat into victory?
Moreover, one of the opponent's Big Three and the ace doubles team have already played, and they still have many strong players who have not yet made a move.
Thinking of this, the mood of everyone in Rikkai University gradually calmed down, and the fighting spirit in their eyes was rekindled.
They know that as long as they persist, victory may still be theirs.
After all, this is a team tennis competition, and no one knows what the outcome will be until the last moment.
……
"Next up is the singles match between Hyotei Gakuen and Rikkai University Affiliated School. It's Akutsu Jin from Hyotei Gakuen versus Masaharu Niou from Rikkai University Affiliated School. Both players, please enter the arena."
With the referee's whistle, the atmosphere in the stadium was instantly ignited, as if an invisible heat wave swept over, pushing everyone's passion to the peak.
The Hyotei cheerleaders were like a group of ignited flames. Their cheers, applause, and shouts intertwined together to form a deafening wave of sound that almost overturned the ceiling of the entire venue.
Their faces were filled with smiles of immense pride and excitement, as if they had already foreseen the glorious victory that Hyotei Academy was about to achieve.
The regulars from Hyotei Academy also felt the strong support from the audience. Their eyes gleamed with an even stronger determination, as if to say, "One more game, and we'll win. For Hyotei, we absolutely must win!"
However, in this atmosphere full of passion and expectation, Tianyu stands out.
His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed, as if he was shrouded in an invisible pressure.
His gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Akutsu who was warming up, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He knew that the opponent that Akutsu was about to face, Niou Masaharu, was an extremely difficult person.
Although Niou Masaharu is not as well-known as Sanada, Yanagi and others in the country at present, that is only temporary.
As long as he is given time to "develop", he will be the toughest opponent.
Although he is not the strongest player in Rikkai University, his unpredictable skills make him a headache for all opponents.
Tianyu knew very well that although Akutsu was very strong, he would inevitably feel difficult when facing an opponent like Niou Masaharu.
He was worried that Akutsu would be frustrated in this game and even affect the morale of the entire team.
But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go ahead with it.
After all, except for him, it would be the same for anyone else who met Bingdi.
He had already reminded Akutsu of what to be careful of; whether he could win or not depended entirely on fate.
……
Facing Akutsu, who was standing opposite him and whose eyes revealed a fierceness that should not be underestimated, Niou Masaharu couldn't help but feel an indescribable chill in his heart.
The corners of his slightly trembling mouth formed a wry smile, and he made a helpless yet somewhat teasing "puff" sound, trying to ease the tension and almost frozen atmosphere with a relaxed tone.
"Really, Akutsu-kun, there's no need to act so intimidating right from the start. Please be gentle and let a beginner like me experience a little of the fun of the game~"
However, Akutsu seemed to be in another world and ignored Niou's words.
He walked with steady steps, step by step towards his bottom line.
The tennis racket in his hand tapped the ground gently, making a rhythmic sound, which was the prelude to his upcoming attack.
Tianyu's previous words echoed in Akutsu's mind. It was a profound reminder - Nioh, this seemingly frivolous but actually unfathomable opponent, must not be measured with the eyes of ordinary people.
Behind every movement and expression of his, there may be an unexpected trap.
Therefore, in this game, Akutsu decided to put aside all distractions and focus all his attention on tennis. He wanted to go all out and use all his strength to defeat Nioh and prove his strength.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
Akutsu quickly got into the game, his serve was as fast as a cannonball, and it went straight to Nioh's half with a whistling sound.
Although Niou was a little nervous, he still kept a cynical smile on his face. He moved his feet lightly and resolved Akutsu's attacks one by one with his amazing reaction speed and agility.
As the game progressed, Akutsu was the first to lose his patience and activated all of his "wildness" and "breath of the beast".
His eyes flashed with a strange light, and a strong and brutal red aura surrounded him. Like a wild beast, he stared at his opponent fiercely, wishing to swallow Nioh.
The racket seemed to turn into a roaring blade in his hands. Every swing was accompanied by the sound of air being torn, and the wind of the ball instantly became violent and unpredictable.
Akutsu no longer sticks to the delicate techniques and strategic layout. He begins to pour his strength and passion into every ball in the most direct and original way.
These balls, like wild horses running free from their reins, launched round after round of fierce attacks on Nioh's defense line with incredible impact.
Akutsu gradually threw off the shackles that bound him, and he realized that at this moment, he no longer needed to suppress the sleeping beast in his heart.
Tianyu's words before the game echoed in his ears like a spell, allowing him to release himself.
So, he completely let go of all his worries and constraints, allowing his primitive wildness to run wild on the field.
The next round became Akutsu's personal performance stage.
With his violent strength and fearless courage, he repeatedly broke through Nioh's defense and gradually widened the score.
"Game Hyotei Akutsu, 1-0."
But Tianyu looked solemn. He didn't believe that Ren Wang would remain indifferent.
At the same time, he was praying in his heart that Nioh would not transform into that man, otherwise, Akutsu would be in danger.
As expected, the next second, in Tianyu's eyes, Ren Wang slowly transformed into that man...
