Chapter 112: Tempering Mental Strength, Shocking Yuezhi (1st Update)
Silver and white.
Sharp and cold.
Two different auras burst out, and with the thick dust spreading around the stadium, the entire stadium seemed to have turned into a restricted area that no one else could enter!
"Too exaggerated! Too exaggerated!"
The egg-headed yellow-haired Matsudaira Chihiko, at this time, his eyes were as big as eggs, looking at the stadium in disbelief.
He had never thought that the game would develop to such a situation.
If at this time, the other first-team representatives of Japan U17 who were ranked close to Ochi were on the court, he would think it was normal.
But at this time.
The one who was evenly matched with Ochi was a junior high school student. And, from the description of Ochi and other Hyotei players, this was a freshman in the first grade of junior high school!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Matsudaira would definitely think that this was a boring story concocted by a guy with a bad taste.
But the fact is.
As Japan U17, Ochi, the No. 4 first-team representative, was dragged into a fierce duel by a junior high school boy.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
The tennis ball with a sharp breath flew out, frost white scattered, and the terrifying ball pressure was released instantly. The dense dust was squeezed and scattered everywhere.
"Come on!"
Ishikawa shook his spirit and his own momentum burst out. The sharp breath continued to pour out, and the racket in his hand was like an arm, stabbing the incoming ball like a long sword.
Boom!
The ball and the racket collided.
Two forces of different attributes burst out and confronted each other instantly.
Chi Chi
The tennis ball spun violently, trying to tear the racket face. The racket was like a cage, tightly trapping the tennis ball like a lead bullet.
Whoosh!
As Ishikawa exerted force on his wrist.
The tennis ball bathed in silver light suddenly shot back. The sword energy was agitated, cutting through the dust curtain and locking onto Ochi.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this situation, everyone around subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
This is Ochi in the [Full Moon] state.
Although he did not use his strongest serve, he had no pressure to rank among the top five in the first team with this state.
But now.
Ochi has not yet defeated this junior high school student.
Doesn't that mean that this black-haired boy has also reached the level of the top five in the first team? !
Thinking of this absurd but realistic concept, everyone looked at Ishikawa with awe and even fear!
"This kid is so strong!"
At this time, Ochi felt the strong pressure brought by Ishikawa, and his almost perfect calm mentality inevitably fluctuated.
He originally wanted to hide his strength, but suddenly found that there seemed to be no room for him to hold back in this game!
Continue like this.
With the opponent's unstoppable fighting spirit, his frosty momentum in the [Full Moon] state may not be able to hold on.
You know.
The biggest credit for Ochi's ability to hold on to the No. 4 position in the first team is undoubtedly [Mach Serve]. In the case of limiting his strongest means, if he still wants to leave room, it is possible that he will be suppressed or even defeated!
Buzz!
Thinking of this.
Ochi's eyes condensed.
The frosty momentum suddenly enveloped Ishikawa like a surging wave.
"Huh?!"
Feeling this extremely oppressive momentum, Ishikawa instinctively had a sweaty reaction.
The distraction caused by this made his response half a beat slower.
Snap!
The tennis ball flew high.
Although such a mistake was not obvious, for a player of Ochi's level. This half-beat slow reaction was undoubtedly extremely fatal.
Bang!
The next moment.
With a powerful smash landing, Ishikawa officially lost a point.
"Huh"
Seeing this, the high school students of Hyotei breathed a sigh of relief.
Matsudaira, whose palms were sweating, also relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There was no way.
If Ochi really couldn't take down this junior high school student, it meant that the other party had already reached a position that they couldn't imagine.
Especially Matsudaira.
Although he was not Ishikawa's opponent, he thought of the position that he had been pursuing and struggling for three years but had never touched. He must have found it difficult to accept that this first-year junior high school boy in front of him had easily caught it.
Of course.
They didn't dare to underestimate Ishikawa.
You know, even a 17-year-old high school student, other people who were representatives of the same army, might not do better than this boy under the absolute mental suppression of Ochi.
Given time.
With the other party's talent, he would definitely become one of the top players in Japan's U17.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As the game continued.
Ochi, whose mental power was fully exploded, finally suppressed Ishikawa. Ochi continued to score points and won the second game in just three minutes.
1-1.
The two sides seemed to be back to the starting point again.
"Is this the top player of Japan's U17?"
Feeling the pressure from Ochi, Ishikawa, who already has the strength above the national level, once again experienced the feeling when he first traveled through time.
However.
Ishikawa's face did not change.
The fighting spirit in his eyes, on the contrary, became stronger under the pressure of Ochi.
"This kid is really not an ordinary character."
Feeling Ishikawa's strong fighting spirit and strong fighting spirit, Ochi's eyes flashed with a strange color.
Since entering high school, joining the u17 and becoming the representative of the team. He followed the expedition overseas and competed against all kinds of players.
Except for the captains of each team.
This was the first time Yuezhi saw such a special change in someone else.
"Do you become stronger when you are strong?"
Yuezhi raised his brows slightly, and a look of expectation flashed in his eyes: "If your talent can be further stimulated, you should be able to truly cross that threshold, right?!"
Buzz!
But at this moment.
The silver-white edge on Ishikawa suddenly changed. It changes into a special blend of black and white.
All of a sudden.
Ishikawa's own temperament suddenly became unpredictable.
"What's this?!"
Seeing the changes in Ishikawa, the expressions of several people outside the venue changed again.
"oh?"
Yue Zhi was also a little surprised.
With the aura fluctuations on Ishikawa's body, he was unable to detect the changes in the other party's emotions for a while.
at the same time.
The other party also gave him a special sense of oppression, as if when the other party saw him, his secrets were being seen through bit by bit.
"A second special ability?"
Ochi looked at Ishikawa and became surprised.
Because even he only mastered [Moonlight], a special ability developed based on mental power, during the entire three years of junior high school.
And the other side.
As soon as he entered junior high school, he mastered two abilities. Moreover, both special abilities have been developed to an extremely high level.
As a result, Yue Zhi, who has a cold personality, has an urge to complain in his heart. I don’t know whether to say that Ishikawa is too greedy, or that the other party’s talent is too exaggerated!
"but."
After a pause, a glimmer of light flashed in Yuezhi's eyes: "The barrier formed by my mental power is not something you can easily see through."
Uh-huh!
Immediately.
He spread his legs and took a serious stance to catch the ball.
Buzz!
And on the opposite side.
With a flash of black and white light in Ishikawa's eyes, he threw up the tennis ball, swung the racket quickly, and hit the tennis ball hard.
Bang!
This ball.
Ishikawa did not use the [Star Mark] technique.
Just like Ochi didn't use the [Mach Serve], Ishikawa also hid the secret trick of serving.
Boom!
But this serve was also incredibly fast. Moreover, the tricky placement was completely beyond Yue Zhi's imagination.
"Has the weakness of this position been seen?"
Yue Zhi's heart sank slightly, but his mental power was extremely strong. His emotional fluctuations were completely covered up by his cold temperament.
There was a bang.
The tennis ball was whipped out quickly by him.
Didi didi! ! !
at the same time.
Change to Ishikawa's perspective.
The tennis ball played by Yuezhi revealed many things that were not seen by others.
A series of numbers and symbols representing probability (%), energy (J/joules), wind speed (m/s), pressure (P), and degrees of rotation (F/centrifugal force).
him at this time.
With the addition of the [Chess Truth] effect, the whole person seems to have turned into a sophisticated machine. With the addition of powerful mental arithmetic ability, the effect of Yuezhi's every action and shot is fully reflected.
Sizzle.
but.
The mental pressure exerted by Yuezhi caused an effect similar to signal interference. The data observed and captured by Ishikawa produced an abnormal state like snowflakes.
"Well."
Ishikawa's eyes changed slightly.
Yue Zhi is too strong, at least relying solely on the true meaning of swordsmanship or the truth of chess can't break through the opponent's mental barrier.
This is not a gap in special abilities, but a suppression of five-dimensional values.
In the original work.
Ochi's mental power reached a terrifying level of 7 points, second only to Byodoin Phoenix, the strongest player in Japan's U17.
Shuffle war time.
Atobe's five-dimensional spirit has also broken through to the level of 4.5. But with just one look, he was overwhelmed by Yue Zhi and became abnormal.
It is extremely rare for Ishikawa to be able to keep his heart unwavering.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The fierce fighting continues.
Because of the unique skill of sealing the serve, even though it was Ishikawa's serve, he continued to lose points.
"The victory has been decided."
Watching Ishikawa's fierce confrontation with Ochi, everyone outside the stadium secretly guessed.
Although the momentum of both sides is still very strong. Especially Ishikawa's unpredictable aura changes make it difficult for outsiders to interpret his behavior.
But the scores don't lie.
As time went by, Ishikawa was able to score fewer and fewer points. The balance of the competition has obviously tilted towards Yuezhi.
"This kid is pretty good enough."
Several of Hyotei's high school students nodded secretly.
After all, in their view, losing to Yuezhi is not a shameful thing. Of course, Maori didn't find it strange. After all, he couldn't even compete and lost to the opponent.
The Matsudaira brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, the performance of the two of them was more like a fig leaf that they managed to scrape together after losing to a junior high school student.
Only the wiser.
After feeling that Ishikawa not only did not waver, but also became stronger and stronger in fighting spirit and fighting spirit, he couldn't help but feel a little more wary in his heart.
How abnormal!
He had never seen such an opponent. Under his strong mental pressure, he not only did not collapse, but became stronger and stronger.
And.
Let Yuezhi feel a little uneasy.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
On the court.
With Ishikawa's counterattacks again and again, his momentum is constantly accumulating.
Different from what others imagine.
Facing Yuezhi's pressure, he not only did not panic, but instead used the opponent's mental pressure to oppress himself and improve his strength.
At this time, he.
Like a piece of red-hot iron, Yuezhi's terrible mental pressure, like a hammer, constantly hit the surface of his body.
With each hammering, the impurities in the iron block will be peeled off.
As time goes by.
Ishikawa's eyes become brighter and sharper.
Bang!
"Game!"
"Yuezhi, 2-1!"
Bang!
"Game!"
"Ochi, 3-1!"
Ochi began to pull away from the score, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"What on earth does this kid want to do?"
He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at his opponent. But because of the effect of [The Truth of Go], he could not interpret Ishikawa's behavior at all.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The game continued.
The people outside the court, watching Ishikawa who was still persevering, running on the court, and fighting fiercely with Ochi, suddenly had a little more admiration for him in their hearts.
"If nothing else, this kid has a strong willpower!"
"Yeah, if it were me, I would have collapsed as early as the end of the second game."
"Unfortunately, facing Ochi, such a struggle is ultimately futile."
Several high school students of Hyotei secretly discussed.
"Alas."
Maori also sighed.
According to this situation, it is only a matter of time before Ishikawa loses the game. Of course, he admired the other party very much. It was a very difficult thing to stick to one's original intention in adversity.
At least, Maori himself could not do it.
"It's over."
Matsudaira Chihiko sighed.
This was Ochi's game after all. As the No.4 representative of the U17 team, it was impossible for him to lose the game in such a place.
Although the opponent had already lifted the 60% strength limit.
"That kid is quite good at fighting."
Matsudaira Chihiro shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he is still too young. After all, he is just a first-year junior high school kid. He is proud of being able to do this. If you want to defeat this guy, it will take two or three years. It's impossible to do it."
Bang!
However.
At this moment.
Ishikawa on the court suddenly hit a shot that was like a laser.
The tennis ball hit near the baseline behind Ochi, and the opponent did not hit back.
"What's going on?!"
Several people looked over in confusion.
A high school student of Hyotei seemed to think of something: "Could it be that the ball is out of bounds?"
Everyone reacted immediately.
Yes!
With Ochi's strength, he would probably choose not to catch the ball only if his opponent made a mistake. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why such a strange scene would appear.
Huh!
But soon.
The smoke and dust surrounding the two people dissipated.
The real situation behind Ochi was revealed, but it was different from what several people had guessed. Behind Ochi, a clearly visible white mark appeared.
"Inside the bounds?!"
The high school students of Hyotei looked at each other.
Mori and Matsudaira were also confused, not knowing why this happened.
"The ball just now."
Only Ochi, who was standing in the court with an expressionless face, showed an indescribable shock in the depths of his eyes.
Just now, he seemed to have frozen his soul. It was not until the tennis ball landed that he noticed the existence of the opponent's hitting trajectory. But the whole person couldn't even move a finger!
Swish!
And at this time,
As if they were in sync, Ochi and the other party looked at each other at the same time.
"Huh?!"
However.
Just this one look.
Obviously, his mental power is more advantageous. Except for the Byodoin Temple, Ochi Moonlight is the ceiling of the mental power of Japan's U17. Under those cold eyes, his eyes changed dramatically.
At this moment.
He suddenly felt that his secrets were completely seen through by the other party. Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a wave of palpitations.
"What kind of eyes are those? !!"
