Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Suppressing his anger, Arai looked at Chen Anxia and said fiercely, "Don't worry, I will not only not admit defeat, but I will also make you 'completely convinced' of me!"

Chen Anxia didn't bother arguing with this at all, and simply put down his tennis bag and took out his control-oriented Sunshine racket.

Katsuro Kato, standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then an incredulous look flashed across his face as he murmured, "That's Dad's most cherished sunlight? How did it end up in Chen Anxia's hands?"

While Katsuro Kato was muttering to himself, Satoshi Horio and Katsuo Mizuno were also talking aloud.

"Chen Anxia, ​​a top student, can actually play tennis? Good heavens, how could I, Horio, not know such important information?"

"Hey, isn't that what we need to focus on right now? We should be stopping this match!"

"Even if Chen Anxia can play tennis, he can't possibly be a match for Arai-senpai. I've heard that Arai-senpai is one of the strong contenders for the Seigaku regular team."

"Eh! One of the strong contenders for a regular member position at Seigaku? Is he really that good?"

"Yes, so let's go together to stop this match. After all, Chen Anxia is only competing against Arai-senpai because of us."

"Okay, let's go together..."

Just as Horio Satoshi and Mizuno Katsuo made their decision to stop the match, Echizen Ryoma, who had been silent until now, spoke up, saying, "I advise you not to go."

"Unless you want to get beaten up, or pay his 5 island dollars."

Upon hearing this, Satoshi Horio and Katsuo Mizuno, who were about to take a step, immediately withdrew their steps, their faces showing hesitation, as if they were struggling.

Satoshi Horio and Katsuo Mizuno are both good people and couldn't bear to see Chen Anxia being swindled out of 5 yen for nothing.

They were well aware of how much of a "huge sum" 5 island dollars was for a student.

Ryoma Echizen seemed to have seen through their thoughts and spoke again, "Don't worry, since he chose to stand up after seeing that the two seniors were cheating, he must have his own reasons."

"In my opinion, the ones who should really be worried are those two senior students."

Katsuro Kato, having recovered from the shock of the 'sunshine', echoed, "I also believe in Chen Anxia. If it's him, there won't be any problems."

To be more precise, Katsuro Kato believed in his father.

Katsuro Kato knew that the person entrusted with the sunshine by his father must be extraordinary.

The words of Ryoma Echizen and Katsuro Kato caused Satoshi Horio and Katsuo Mizuno to exchange glances, seemingly having made a decision: to trust Chen Anxia.

On the field, the coin toss has ended.

Based on the prediction, the first game will be Chen Anxia's serve.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

......

On the court, the sound of Chen Anxia hitting a tennis ball could be heard without anyone noticing.

During this time, Takeshi Momoshiro, having changed into his sports clothes and carrying a tennis bag, arrived at the tennis court.

Momoshiro Takeshi is a second-year student at Seigaku and a regular member of the team. He is very strong. He was forced to stay at school this time because of a foot injury. Otherwise, he would have gone to participate in the exchange tournament with Tezuka Kunimitsu and others long ago.

However, it was precisely because he stayed at school due to his injury that Takeshi Momoshiro was able to participate in this match...

After taking in the situation on the tennis court, Momoshiro Takeshi frowned slightly and muttered, "I haven't seen that guy playing against Arai before. He must be a first-year student..."

As he spoke, Momoshiro Takeshi seemed to understand what had happened. He turned his gaze to Arai Masafumi, his eyes showing dissatisfaction, and muttered again, "Arai and Uemura, those two, are bullying the freshmen again while the club president and the others are away."

"When the minister returns, we must make sure he punishes them severely..."

Meanwhile, Takeshi Momoshiro is ready to intervene in the match.

Once Momoshiro Takeshi realizes something is wrong, he will immediately stop the match to ensure that Chen Anxia is not harmed.

Just as Momoshiro Takeshi was muttering to himself, Chen Anxia tossed the ball high into the air.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Chen Anxia was about to serve.

At this moment, various expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

Ryoma Echizen is cold-blooded, Katsuro Kato is expectant, and Satoshi Horio and Katsuo Mizuno are apprehensive.

As for Arai and Uemura, a mocking look appeared on their faces, as if they had already foreseen the embarrassing situation Chen Anxia was about to face.

Amidst the varied expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Anxia swiftly swung his racket at the falling tennis ball.

Immediately afterwards, a golden beam of light pierced through the stadium.

Arai Masafumi, facing the golden beam of light, still wore a mocking expression, seemingly not having reacted at all.

next moment...

boom!

A heavy thud, like a tennis ball hitting the ground, suddenly rang out.

Looking at Arai Masafumi again, the playful expression on his face had frozen. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden tennis ball rolling on the court behind him.

This scene turned the mocking look on Arai Masashi's face into one of disbelief.

Arai Masafumi never expected that Chen Anxia could hit such a terrifyingly fast serve, leaving him no time to react.

At the same time, Arai Masafumi vaguely understood why Chen Anxia demanded that he not give up halfway.

As if he had foreseen his future, Masafumi Arai's face began to turn pale.

......

Chapter 234 A Vast Disparity in Strength, A Controlled Match! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

Off the court, Satoshi Horio, Katsuro Kato, and Katsuo Mizuno were also stunned by Chen Anxia's serve, their pupils dilating and their mouths agape involuntarily.

They could hardly believe that this boy, who was the same age as them, could serve so powerfully.

So, just how strong is Chen Anxia, ​​who can deliver such a terrifying serve?

They didn't know, but they knew that Chen Anxia's strength was something they couldn't even begin to comprehend.

While they were still in a daze, Ryoma Echizen spoke up again, "It seems he has improved the bullet serve. The speed of this ball should have exceeded 170km/h."

As he spoke, a glint seemed to gleam in Echizen Ryoma's eyes as he looked at Chen Anxia.

Clearly, Ryoma Echizen was becoming increasingly interested in Chen Anxia.

Satoshi Horio, Katsuro Kato, and Katsuo Mizuno were once again shaken upon hearing Ryoma Echizen's words.

They all have a certain level of tennis knowledge, so they know what a serve speed of over 170 km/h means.

Therefore, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"A ball speed exceeding 170 km/h? Is that really something a middle school student could achieve?"

"Amazing! Chen Anxia is truly amazing!"

"Bullet serve, is that the name of Chen Anxia's serve?"

"A serve as fast as a bullet, what a fitting name."

"I never expected that Chen Anxia is not only good at studying, but also so good at tennis."

......

Then, as if remembering something, Horio Satoshi looked at Echizen Ryoma with a puzzled expression and asked, "By the way, Echizen, how did you know that this serve is called a bullet serve? Did you know Chen Anxia before?"

When asked this question, Ryoma Echizen replied rather casually, "Perhaps we can be considered acquaintances."

Undoubtedly, this answer made Satoshi Horio's brow furrow.

Not far away, Takeshi Momoshiro was also surprised by Chen Anxia's serve.

In Momoshiro Takeshi's view, Chen Anxia's serve was already comparable to his own signature serve, which was about the same speed as a bullet serve.

Just as Momoshiro Takeshi was thinking this, he heard what Echizen Ryoma said.

Immediately, Takeshi Momoshiro raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of surprise on his face, and muttered, "No way, his serve is also called the bullet serve, what a coincidence..."

As he spoke, Momoshiro Takeshi's gaze toward Chen Anxia grew increasingly intense.

If I heard correctly, the boy currently competing against Arai Masafumi is named... Chen Anxia!

"So he's Chen Anxia..." Momoshiro Takeshi said, turning his gaze to Arai Masashi with amusement. "I'm afraid Arai is in for a rough time..."

The match continues on the field.

Just when everyone thought Chen Anxia's second serve would still be a bullet serve, unexpectedly, Chen Anxia actually hit a very ordinary serve.

Masafumi Arai is a strong candidate to be a regular member of Seigaku's team, and his tennis skills are quite good.

Therefore, Chen Anxia's ordinary serve was easily received and returned by Arai Masafumi.

However, a look of surprise appeared on Arai Masafumi's face, and he was completely puzzled by Chen Anxia's second serve.

Not only Arai Masafumi, but everyone present was puzzled by Chen Anxia's second serve, not understanding why it was so ordinary.

Without giving Arai Masafumi and the others much time to think, Chen Anxia returned another very ordinary return shot.

Without a doubt, Masafumi Arai returned the ball with ease.

After several rounds of this, the fear and unease that Arai Masafumi felt due to Chen Anxia's bullet serve gradually subsided.

In Arai Masafumi's opinion, Chen Anxia's bullet serve was just a stroke of luck, and this ordinary return shot was Chen Anxia's true skill level.

This means that I can win!

Thinking of Arai Masafumi, he suddenly felt a surge of confidence, and even the pale face on his face gradually became radiant.

In his heart, Arai Masafumi also secretly resolved to make Chen Anxia suffer.

The match took an unexpected turn and became very close.

5球...10球...15球...20球...25球...

Before they knew it, Chen Anxia and Arai Masafumi had exchanged 25 balls, but no one had scored on this ball yet, and the game remained deadlocked.

Keep in mind that this was only the second point of the game.

But this second ball resulted in such a long and drawn-out contest, something no one had expected.

Even Arai Masafumi, who was on the field, did not expect such a situation to occur.
