Chapter 250 The Incomplete Zero-Style Chop: The Most Difficult Regular Selection in History!
Looking at the tennis ball hanging in the net, and at the silent gazes around him, Shun Ogawa felt unbearably ashamed, and his face instantly turned red.
There was nothing he could do; it was just that Shunichi Ogawa was showing off one second and then completely messed up the next.
This is perhaps one of the most embarrassing things in the world.
Off the field, Satoshi Horio, for some reason, felt a sense of resonance looking at the scene before him.
Thinking about it carefully, Shunichi Ogawa and I really do look alike.
Speaking of his opening remarks, Shunichi Ogawa's opening line was, "My name is Shunichi Ogawa, and I have three years of tennis experience..."
Satoshi Horio's opening remarks were, "I am Satoshi Horio, with two years of tennis experience..."
It must be said that the opening remarks are both high-profile and similar.
As for the outcomes of the accidents, they were strikingly similar.
Naturally, this match posed no difficulty for Chen Anxia. He didn't even need to use any special skills; he could easily defeat Ogawa Shunichi with just the most basic serves and returns.
However, Chen Anxia did not let the game end so easily, but instead used Ogawa Shunichi to practice his ball control skills.
The endless cycle of physical exhaustion quietly descended, causing Shunichi Ogawa to succumb and become unable to escape, ultimately collapsing from exhaustion on the spot.
Thus, the match naturally ended in Shunichi Ogawa's defeat.
After failing, Shunichi Ogawa received the reward for this mission.
Shunichi Ogawa, who was originally exhausted, suddenly showed a look of ecstatic joy after seeing the mission reward.
The reward for this mission was surprisingly "Zero-style Chop Shot Techniques (Incomplete Version)".
Shunichi Ogawa never expected that his mission reward would be the Zero Style Chop. Although it was only an incomplete version of the Zero Style Chop, Shunichi Ogawa was already satisfied.
In Shunichi Ogawa's opinion, even a flawed version of the Zero-style slice shot is enough to amaze many people.
Therefore, at this moment, Shunichi Ogawa was eager to return to his own world, to master this incomplete version of the Zero-style slice shot, and then share it online so that more people could see his 'heroic figure'.
With this thought in mind, Ogawa Shunichi's already exhausted body somehow found a source of strength, which enabled him to stand up and leave the tennis court, heading off to who knows where.
The regular members of Seigaku and the ordinary second and third-year club members couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.
They saw with their own eyes that Ogawa Shunichi collapsed to the ground, looking as if he was still unable to struggle to get up. How come he was able to stand up in just a few seconds?
It's worth noting that Kaoru Kaidou, who also went through an endless cycle of physical exhaustion, still hasn't recovered and is lying on the sidelines.
Qingxue's main selection area.
Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke asked, "Inui, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Inui Sadaharu gently pushed up the frame of his glasses and said, "His skills are lacking, but his perseverance surpasses that of many club members."
"What finally helped him stand up was this perseverance."
Upon hearing this, Fuji Syusuke agreed, "That's right. In Chen Anxia's endless cycle of physical exhaustion, he could have chosen to give up, but he persevered until he collapsed from exhaustion."
"This perseverance is commendable. If he has the talent, with this perseverance, he might become the next Seigaku regular after we leave."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Fuji Syusuke's face, and he continued, "I'll talk to Tezuka about it later, and we can give him some proper training."
Just as Fuji Syusuke was speaking, another player stepped forward to compete against Chen Anxia.
Although Chen Anxia's endless cycle of physical exhaustion did deter them, they could tell from Ogawa Shunichi's expression that he must have received an excessive reward.
Therefore, they all gritted their teeth and stepped forward.
In order to make the mission as perfect as possible, they persevered in Chen Anxia's endless cycle of physical exhaustion, and finally collapsed from exhaustion just like Ogawa Shunichi.
Naturally, they all received their respective mission rewards.
These rewards include the Bullet Serve (weakened version), the Speed Smash (incomplete version), and Chen Anxia's Ball Control Tips (simplified version).
That's right, apart from Shunichi Ogawa, no other players received any mission rewards related to the Zero Style Chop.
This doesn't mean that the later players performed worse than Shunichi Ogawa; it's just that Shunichi Ogawa was the first to step forward, nothing more.
......
At this moment, Chen Anxia's physical strength was finally exhausted after so many long matches.
The club activity was almost over, and without hesitation, Chen Anxia packed up her belongings and dragged her tired body home.
As for the players, after receiving the quest rewards, they all left, eager to try out the rewards they had obtained.
Unbeknownst to these players, their perseverance on the field had already attracted the attention of figures like Shuichiro Oishi, Syusuke Fuji, and Sadaharu Inui.
This means that their own opportunities will soon arrive.
As time passed, most of the members of the Seigaku Tennis Club had gone home, but none of the regular Seigaku players had gone home; they were all waiting for the return of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Ryuzaki Sumire.
They all wanted to talk to Tezuka Kunimitsu and Ryuzaki Sumire about Chen Anxia's matter.
As they waited, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Ryuzaki Sumire finally returned.
Upon their return, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Ryuzaki Sumire quickly learned of Chen Anxia's victory over Kaido Kaoru, and both couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces.
After hearing Oishi Shuichiro, Fuji Syusuke and others' thoughts about Chen Anxia, Ryuzaki Sumire was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu and asked, "Tezuka, didn't you tell them?"
Upon hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu gently shook his head and replied, "Originally, I wanted to keep it a secret until the day of the regular selection, to test their character..."
With that, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at his teammates in front of him and said directly, "This time, not only will Chen Anxia participate in the regular selection, but another first-year student, Echizen Ryoma, will also participate."
As he spoke, Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at his teammates in front of him, who were showing expressions of surprise, realization, and confusion, and continued, "I can say with certainty that this year's selection process for the main players will be the most difficult in history."
"If you don't want to be eliminated, give me 120% of your strength!"
Needless to say, Tezuka Kunimitsu possesses a strong leadership quality; his words not only carry an air of authority but also make him very convincing.
After hearing Tezuka Kunimitsu's words, Oishi Shuichiro, Fuji Syusuke, Inui Sadaharu, and the others all became serious and attentive.
Clearly, they are ready to go all out at any time.
......
Chapter 251 The Three Great Kings, Qingxue’s King!
The world of players.
After returning to the game, Shunichi Ogawa quickly immersed himself in practicing the Zero-Style Chop (incomplete version), unaware that his online account had become incredibly popular.
Besides Shunichi Ogawa, other players are doing similar things.
Unlike Shunichi Ogawa, this player already had a certain fan base.
He skillfully uploaded the video of Chen Anxia and Haitang Xun's match to the internet, and even gave the video a very catchy title.
The title was 'Shocking! This is actually a tennis match between two middle school students!?'
It seemed like a coincidence, yet also inevitable, that the video went viral.
Tennis enthusiasts in the real world were amazed by the strength displayed by Chen Anxia and Kaido Kaoru.
In particular, Chen Anxia's bullet serve with a ball speed of nearly 180km/h, his Speed smash that was difficult to return, and his terrifying, endless cycle of physical exhaustion all shocked them.
They found it hard to believe that a junior high school student could possess such strength.
As the video gained popularity, people quickly recognized Chen Anxia and realized that the dreamlike, unsolvable return shot that had caused quite a stir before, namely the zero-style slice shot, was his creation.
This also made Chen Anxia's name begin to circulate among tennis enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, more and more tennis enthusiasts are becoming curious about the "Prince of Tennis" game and choosing to enter the game.
The world of The Prince of Tennis.
A player from Fudomine Middle School who had already joined the Fudomine Tennis Club accidentally saw a video about Chen Anxia and couldn't help but become curious about him.
Out of curiosity, the player asked Ishida Tetsu, who was also a regular member of the Fudomine Tennis Club and had identified himself with the club, during his free time, "Ishida-senpai, do you know King of the Seigaku Tennis Club?"
Upon hearing this, Ishida Tetsuya paused for a moment before saying, "The King of Seigaku should be Tezuka Kunimitsu, the captain of the Seigaku tennis club."
Although the player doesn't know Tezuka Kunimitsu, he does know that the King of Seigaku Tennis Club is named Chen Anxia.
Therefore, upon hearing Ishida Tetsuya's words, the player immediately replied, "Although I don't know, I do know that the King of Seigaku Tennis Club is not Tezuka Kunimitsu, but a first-year student named Chen Anxia."
Upon hearing this, Ishida Tetsuya couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, as if he doubted his own ears.
King is the title of an emperor, which seems impossible for a first-year student to possess.
Immediately, as if he had just realized something, a look of relief flashed across Ishida Tetsuya's face.
According to Ishida Tetsuya, the name "King" was probably given to him by Chen Anxia himself, and it was a private matter that was not officially recognized by the Seigaku Tennis Club.
Without hesitation, Ishida Tetsuya shared his opinion with the player.
After learning of Ishida Tetsuya's opinion, the player immediately denied it.
Although the player didn't know whether Chen Anxia's title of King had been officially recognized by the Seigaku Tennis Club, the scene in the video where so many people shouted the name of King was real.
This means that Chen Anxia's title of King is recognized by many people.
Ishida Tetsuya hadn't expected his opinion to be so directly rejected. Just as he was about to press for an explanation, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out, "Why aren't you two warming up? What are you discussing here?"
Upon hearing this sudden voice, Ishida Tetsuya immediately tensed up, his expression becoming restrained and respectful.
The players nearby knew that the owner of the sudden voice was Tachibana Kichihei, the captain of the Fudomine Tennis Club.
The player had only just joined the Fudomine Tennis Club and was unaware of Tachibana Yoshihira's terrifying power, so he didn't react like Ishida Tetsuya.
Even after hearing Tachibana Yoshihira's question, the player showed no fear or hesitation and directly said, "I was just asking Ishida-senpai about King, a member of the Seigaku tennis club."
Tachibana Yoshihira was taken aback upon hearing this, and the information on the regular members of the Seigaku Tennis Club flashed through his mind.
Then, Tachibana Yoshihira frowned slightly and asked, "The King of Seigaku? You mean Tezuka Kunimitsu?"
Having already experienced this once, the player simply repeated his previous answer to Ishida Tetsuya after being questioned by Tachibana Yoshihira.
Not only that, the player also revealed all the information he knew about Chen Anxia.
Zero-style slice, Speed smash, bullet serve with a ball speed approaching 180km/h... and the fact that he shut out Kaoru Kaido.
Tachibana Yoshihira and Ishida Tetsuya were stunned, never expecting that Chen Anxia, a first-year student, would be so terrifying.
Because they had never seen it with their own eyes, they didn't know what a zero-style slice shot was or what a speed drive was.
