Chapter 124 A bad start
Chapter 124 A bad start
At this moment, Echizen Ryoma felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He keenly caught the two auras in the air that collided like substance. It was a unique precursor to a contest between strong men, as if the entire space was shaking.
Without a moment's hesitation, Longma quickened his pace and almost ran towards the backyard, where the duel he had longed for was about to take place.
His purpose was simple and pure - to witness the battle with his own eyes. Such an opportunity was even more rare, especially when both opponents were masters that he could not reach at the moment.
……
After passing through familiar scenery, Longma finally arrived at the backyard. The scene before him instantly ignited the fire in his heart.
On the tennis court, his father Echizen Nanjiro and Ameha were standing at opposite ends of the court.
Tianyu looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy, while Nanjiro looked relaxed. To him, this match didn't mean much.
Besides, for him, victory in this game was within his grasp.
Nanjiro naturally noticed Ryoma's arrival.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly spoke in a low and powerful voice: "Hey, kid, open your eyes wide and feel the power of the world with your heart!"
When Longma heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. That was a world-class battle!
He murmured to himself, "World-class power? Senior Tianyu, he has actually reached such a height..."
His words were full of amazement. If he wanted to catch up with and surpass Tianyu, he would have to put in more effort and sweat.
Tianyu's expression revealed a hint of imperceptible anxiety. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"Nanjiro-senpai, can we start our duel?"
There was a strong sense of urgency in Tianyu's voice.
Upon hearing this, Echizen Nanjiro showed a slightly apologetic smile on his face, as if he realized his previous negligence.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, Tianyu boy, I kept you waiting. In that case, let's get started. As for the serve, I'll give it to you as a gift from my senior."
He seemed unconcerned, his tone relaxed and casual, but his eyes flickered with anticipation for the duel.
"Let me see the strength of Japan's current junior high school leader!" Nanjiro thought to himself.
Tianyu didn't feel relaxed at all when he heard this.
He knew that facing a strong man like Nanjiro, any slackness could be fatal.
If you can gain an advantage, take it and don't miss any chance to win.
So he took a deep breath and put all distracting thoughts behind him.
He stared down at the tennis ball in his hand. This small ball seemed to carry all his hopes.
At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the tennis ball.
"Let me go crazy!" Tianyu swore secretly in his heart. Although his voice was soft, it was firm and powerful.
He understood that the upcoming match would be a tough battle and his body might be exhausted from excessive exercise.
Because he knew that only in this way would he have a chance of defeating the man in front of him.
"Echizen, please don't tell anyone what you wrote down. These are my secrets." Tianyu said to Ryoma beside him.
Just when Longma was full of doubts about why Tianyu suddenly said those words.
A shocking scene appeared before his eyes, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this unimaginable scene in front of him in his memory.
Behind Tianyu, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. A deep red light suddenly bloomed, then condensed into a huge shadow.
-"Flesh and blood, burning once is enough!"
He was a man with flying red hair and a wild face. His eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless anger and power. The aura surrounding him was violent and fiery.
Longma felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, which came from the throbbing deep in his blood. It made him take a few steps back, his heart filled with fear.
However, the shocking scene did not end there.
Just as the red-haired man's shadow stabilized, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. A blue light flashing with a mysterious aura cut through the sky and landed on the red-haired man accurately.
The blue light condensed and quickly turned into a set of blue armor shining with cold light, which fit perfectly on the body of the red-haired man.
Runes flowed on the armor, as if containing the most ancient and powerful power in the world, gathering the red-haired man's violent aura and transforming it into a deeper and more terrifying power fluctuation.
With the support of the two phantoms, Tianyu's aura suddenly surged, as if some terrifying existence had awakened in his body. The violent demonic energy was entangled in his every movement like a substance.
Longma looked at this scene and was shocked beyond words.
"Is this Senior Tianyu's true strength?"
Facing such a powerful opponent like Nanjiro, Tianyu naturally knew that he could not hold back his strength and had to go all out.
He naturally released the strongest state he could currently achieve.
Nanjiro looked at Tianyu with interest, his eyes gleaming with admiration.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly, "Not bad, kid, this power is quite good. However, it's still a long way to go to defeat me!"
Tianyu remained silent, his eyes firm and focused. He raised his hand and launched the Fantasy Cannon.
In an instant, a powerful energy gathered in his hands, turned into a ray of light, and shot straight towards Nanjiro.
At the same time, thick smoke quickly spread and enveloped the entire stadium.
However, Nanjiro remained unmoved.
He smiled slightly, and a sharp aura emanated from him.
At this moment, a huge warrior shadow suddenly appeared behind him, holding a sharp long sword.
The shadow suddenly swung his sword, instantly splitting the smoke. At the same time, Tianyu's dream cannon was easily caught by Nanjiro.
Immediately afterwards, Nanjiro made a quick move and returned Tianyu's serve with lightning speed.
Tianyu originally expected Nanjiro to be knocked away, but that was not the case.
Nanjiro caught the ball easily and counterattacked it with amazing speed.
Tianyu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
He had never seen such powerful strength and skills, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.
Tianyu looked at Nanjiro in astonishment, feeling frustrated.
His trump card serving skill was broken just like that, without causing any trouble to Nanjiro.
"It's really a bad start." Tianyu complained.
Nanjiro looked at Tianyu with a smile.
"15-0."
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Tianyu's mind.
