Boom!
With a crisp and powerful impact, Chen Anxia once again delivered a bullet serve.
Just as Momoshiro Takeshi and the others had sensed before, Chen Anxia's bullet serve speed had become even faster, even exceeding 180km/h.
The reason for this is not that Chen Anxia has optimized the data model of the bullet serve again, but that Chen Anxia is still in a state of becoming stronger when facing strong opponents.
This resulted in Chen Anxia's strength, speed, and other attributes being amplified when facing stronger opponents, enabling him to hit faster bullet serves.
This time, Akutsu Jin still didn't react at all to Chen Anxia's bullet serve, as if he couldn't react at all.
Seeing a similar scene unfold again, the crowd on the sidelines had even more confidence in Chen Anxia, convinced that he would be the ultimate winner of the match.
But one person thought differently, and that person was Takashi Kawamura.
Fuji Syusuke noticed Kawamura Takashi's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Takashi, what's your opinion on this match?"
Upon hearing this, the other regular members of Seigaku also looked at Kawamura Takashi with curiosity.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kawamura Takashi said with a heavy expression, "Although Chen Anxia is very strong and talented, the final winner of this match will definitely be Akutsu."
"Because that guy is an absolute monster!"
Fuji Syusuke, Momoshiro Takeshi, Inui Sadaharu, and the others were stunned when Kawamura Takashi said such a thing. Their faces showed confusion, doubt, and shock.
Even Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes narrowed, and a look of surprise flashed across his usually calm face.
Kawamura Takashi seemed to know everyone's confusion, and without beating around the bush, he directly told Akutsu Jin what he knew.
"Akuzu's motor nerves are extremely developed, even to a rare degree."
"Not only is Akutsu's athletic ability outstanding, but his strength, speed, flexibility, balance and other abilities are also exceptional. He is an absolute sports monster."
"Because of Akutsu's exceptional physical abilities, he learns any type of sport with ease, making it impossible for him to muster any enthusiasm for any of them..."
Through Kawamura Takashi's description, the Seigaku regulars present also gained a general understanding of Akutsu Jin and why Kawamura Takashi would say such a thing.
However, before seeing it with their own eyes, they still lacked a sense of reality and could not truly empathize with Takashi Kawamura.
However, they all believed what Kawamura Takashi said and knew that Akutsu Jin was an unimaginably terrifying monster.
This fact also made their originally relaxed expressions turn serious.
Among them, Fuji Syusuke couldn't help but look at Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Although Fuji Syusuke didn't speak, Tezuka Kunimitsu, noticing Fuji's gaze, knew that Fuji wanted to express, 'Tezuka, can you still calmly say those words just now?'
Tezuka Kunimitsu did not respond with words, but simply watched the court silently, his expression remaining calm and composed, without a trace of anxiety or panic.
Clearly, Tezuka Kunimitsu has already shown Fuji Syusuke the answer through his actions.
Upon seeing this, a thoughtful expression flashed across Fuji Syusuke's face.
Fuji Syusuke originally thought he had overestimated Chen Anxia, but judging from Tezuka Kunimitsu's reaction, he realized he had underestimated him.
Putting everything else aside, Tezuka Kunimitsu's reaction alone is enough to show that in his mind, Chen Anxia is stronger than Hitoshi Hakutsu. Strong enough for Tezuka Kunimitsu to have such confidence in Chen Anxia.
As for which aspect he was stronger in—his strength, his talent, or something else—Fuji Syusuke didn't know, and Tezuka Kunimitsu had no intention of telling Fuji Syusuke the answer.
In Tezuka Kunimitsu's mind, if he wanted to reveal this answer, he would have to wait until Chen Anxia had truly grown up.
Otherwise, with Chen Anxia's terrifying talent, he would definitely be envied by some people, and might even bring disaster upon himself.
After all, the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.
Tezuka Kunimitsu had also mentioned this to Chen Anxia, telling him to be careful not to casually reveal that he had only just started playing tennis.
Indeed, what gave Tezuka Kunimitsu such confidence was the fact that Chen Anxia had only just started playing tennis.
Tezuka Kunimitsu knew that Chen Anxia had only been playing tennis for less than two weeks, yet he already possessed the ability to defeat Kaido Kaoru head-on.
This talent instilled fear in Tezuka Kunimitsu, leading him to conclude that Chen Anxia was a monster.
Compared to Chen Anxia's talent, Akutsu Jin's seemingly monstrous talent appeared rather ordinary.
Tezuka Kunimitsu could imagine the uproar that would occur if Chen Anxia's talent were exposed, and it might even shake the world of tennis.
The game continues on the field.
Chen Anxia used the bullet serve again for his third serve.
Just when people thought the scene would repeat itself, Akutsu Jin moved, arriving at the landing point with terrifying speed and agility, and hitting the ball back without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, the freshmen and ordinary club members on the sidelines were all stunned.
The players couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
"How could he return a serve of that quality?"
"Akuzu from Yamabuki Middle School, he's really strong."
"Could he also be a regular-level junior high school student?"
......
Only the regular members of Seigaku didn't show much change in expression, because they had all been warned by Takashi Kawamura and knew how terrifying Jin Akutsu was.
They also knew that the real competition was just beginning.
At the same time, they were all curious about how Chen Anxia would deal with Akutsu Jin, who was like a monster.
Amid their curiosity, they saw Chen Anxia arrive at the landing point and assume a seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary backswing posture.
It's considered ordinary because the backswing pose is really nothing special.
What makes it unusual is that at this moment, all the regular members of Seigaku saw the figure of another person in Chen Anxia's backswing posture.
This person is none other than the captain of Seigaku—Kunimitsu Tezuka!
Seemingly realizing something, the regular members of Seigaku all stiffened, their eyes fixed on Chen Anxia.
Under their watchful eyes, under the watchful eyes of the new students and ordinary members, under the watchful eyes of Akutsu Jin, Chen Anxia saw him aim at the incoming ball and deliver a backhand slice.
The next moment, that breathtaking, dreamlike, unsolvable return shot... appeared!
......
Chapter 259 The Solution: The Flaws of Zero-Style Chop?
Chen Anxia's slice shot was aimed at the upper right corner, near the net.
Akutsu Jin is currently positioned near the lower-middle part of the left inner edge.
The second and third-year club members who had some tennis experience knew that if they were facing Chen Anxia's slice shot, they would basically have no chance of returning it.
Regardless of whether Chen Anxia's chopping technique is ordinary, the very question of whether he can reach the landing point in time is problematic.
Therefore, in their view, Chen Anxia's slice shot was undoubtedly a good shot that could very likely score a point directly.
What everyone considered a great shot was, for Jin Akutsu, just an ordinary slice shot that he could easily return.
This is what distinguishes Akutsu Jin from most ordinary people, or rather, this is what makes Akutsu Jin so terrifying.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the moment Chen Anxia delivered that slice shot, Akutsu Jin sprinted towards the landing point with an extremely fast and peculiar posture.
The next moment, to the astonishment and disbelief of the ordinary club members on the sidelines, Akutsu Jin arrived at the landing point before the tennis ball even touched the ground, and got into a backswing position to return the ball, waiting for it to bounce off the ground before hitting it.
Snapped!
As the crisp sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground rang out, Akutsu Jin seemed to have witnessed something incredible. His face showed shock and disbelief, and he unconsciously muttered to himself.
"The tennis ball didn't bounce after hitting the ground; instead, it rolled towards the net... This..."
Not only Akutsu Jin, but also the freshmen and ordinary second and third-year club members on the sidelines were shocked by the scene before them.
Among them, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo, who witnessed such a dreamlike scene once again, couldn't help but shout excitedly, "It's here! It's Anatsu's Zero-Style Chop!!"
Then, like a chain reaction, it immediately triggered a series of discussions and noises in the surrounding area.
"My God, Chen Anxia actually possesses such terrifying ball skills?"
"He's too strong! Chen Anxia is truly too strong, worthy of the title of King!"
"The Zero-Style Chop is unbelievable no matter how many times I watch it."
"Yes, even if you see it with your own eyes, you still can't help but wonder if such a dreamlike and unsolvable return shot really exists."
"I heard that Captain Tezuka can also use the Zero-Style Chop, I wonder if it's true or not?"
"It's true. When Chen Anxia played against Tezuka before, Tezuka used the Zero Style Chop."
......
Ryoma Echizen, who was among the new students, had seen the Zero Style Chop before, and had even experienced it firsthand.
But when I saw the Zero-Style Chop again, I couldn't help but be amazed.
After his match against Chen Anxia, Ryoma Echizen considered many ways to break Chen Anxia's zero-style chop shot.
Although Ryoma Echizen came up with some methods, after careful consideration, he felt that these methods were not very feasible.
This means that, in Echizen Ryoma's view, none of the methods he has come up with are likely to break the Zero Style Chop.
During this, Ryoma Echizen considered using his racket to lift the zero-style slice that had just touched the ground over the net.
This method may seem feasible, but in reality it is virtually impossible to implement.
Putting aside the difficulty of using a racket to lift the tennis ball that has just touched the ground, the Zero-style slice is itself a close-to-the-net slice. Even if you could lift the ball with your racket, it would most likely touch the net directly rather than go over it.
Not only that, but to break the Zero-Style Chop with this method, one also needs to consider the spin that Chen Anxia applies to the Zero-Style Chop.
It's important to know that the spin Chen Anxia applies to the ball allows the zero-style slice to roll in the opposite direction towards the net after hitting the ground.
In such a situation, even if you can lift the ball with your racket, the ball's own spin will cause it to accelerate towards the net, greatly increasing the probability of hitting the net, making it virtually impossible to lift the ball over the net.
Therefore, in Echizen Ryoma's view, although this method is feasible, its feasibility is extremely low, even close to zero.
Besides this method, Ryoma Echizen also considered another approach.
According to Ryoma Echizen, this method is the most feasible one he can think of so far, which is to complete the interception before the zero-style slice hits the ground.
However, it is still very difficult to use this method to break the zero-style chop shot.
The difficulties are mainly divided into two aspects. One aspect is the need to solve the problems of close-net slice shots and ball spin.
On the other hand, there's the issue of time.
