Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The game ended in a complete defeat for the West Coast team.

The doubles match ended with the US West Coast team losing, which made the Japanese audience who came to watch the game extremely excited. The cheers became louder. I don't know when the whole stadium was filled with the name of Atobe.

Sanada didn't have too many thoughts. Atobe could have hit the last ball back by himself, but it was obviously given to him on purpose. Sanada was very clear about this.

Atobe played most of the game. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the opponent was too weak. Basically, Atobe could handle them alone, which made Akashi in the VIP room shake his head.

Originally, Akashi wanted to give the junior high school students a taste of American tennis, but the opponent's strength was indeed a little disappointing, much lower than Akashi expected.

In fact, this was also caused by Akashi's own preconceived ideas, because in his impression, the American West Coast team in the original book was still a little bit strong, but that was the result of comparing it with the junior high school students in the original book.

Now these members of the Kanto team are capable of fighting even if they go on an overseas expedition. As long as they don't encounter a too strong country, there will be no problem in winning. Akatsu and Yukimura can definitely become the main players.

There is a person in the court who is very embarrassed now. He is Ryoma Echizen, because when Atobe was leaving the court, he said to Ryoma playfully:

"Is this the strength of the US team? I remember that you, Echizen, seem to have won the US Junior Open four times in a row, right? No wonder~"

Ryoma had no way to refute Atobe's words, because even he felt that the strength of the US West Coast team on the opposite side was too weak. Not to mention the Kanto team, it is estimated that even their Seigaku can't beat it.

So Ryoma could only bow his head and adjust his hat to hide his embarrassment. Atobe smiled when he saw this, and stopped teasing Ryoma. He walked directly to the VIP box. He didn't want to stand at the door of the player channel to watch the game. This was too inconsistent with his uncle Atobe's aesthetics.

Akashi was not surprised by Atobe's arrival. He just gestured to Atobe to find a seat by himself, and Akashi's father, the patriarch of the contemporary Akashi family, smiled and greeted Atobe and began to praise Atobe's strong tennis skills.

Atobe was also a little stunned when he saw Akashi in a white suit. Since he returned to China, he had never seen Akashi dressed so formally. He always wore Fudomine's official jacket.

On the other side, in the coaching booth of the US team, Richard scolded Billy and Mike severely, but Mike obviously didn't care much about Richard's anger. Billy lowered his head in shame.

After Richard vented for a while, he waved his hand and signaled the two to get out immediately. Billy and Mike picked up their tennis bags and turned directly to the player channel. What no one noticed was that Steyani, who was originally in the audience, was also missing.

Soon the doubles match was about to begin, and the contestants on both sides were also preparing to go on stage at the entrance of the channel. This time, the host first introduced the players from the west coast of the United States. They were the Griffey brothers, and some American girls in the audience screamed loudly.

In fact, Richard has cultivated these two brothers as idols in the United States, but he doesn't pay much attention to their tennis skills. This is also Richard's trump card in Japan this time. As long as he can successfully create stars in Japan, he can earn a lot of money from fans in addition to sponsorship in the future.

However, soon after the host introduced the players of the Kanto team, the cheers of the Japanese audience instantly overwhelmed those American girls. Although the two players did not have as big a fan group as Atobe, the audience still gave them applause and cheers.

"The doubles match will start next. The Kanto team's Fuji Shusuke and Niou Masaharu will play against the US West Coast team's Tom Griffey and Terry Griffey! Please enter the venue!"

When the Griffey brothers entered the venue, Richard had already told them that they must win this game, otherwise he would send them back to their previous lives. This made the two brothers nervous. They finally had their current lives and didn't want to go back to the past.

The four of them came to the net and said hello, but Fuji and Niou just nodded slightly, then stretched out their hands and shook hands with each other.

After speaking, the next guess was that Niou won the right to serve, which was what everyone on the Kanto team had expected.

"The game ends! The Kanto team serves first!"

At this time, Yukimura, who was at the entrance of the player's passage, looked at the two people on the court, with a playful smile on his face, and said slowly and softly:

"That spiritual power is... So that's it! It's worthy of Niou~"

Niou stood on the baseline with a slightly strange expression, then took out a tennis ball from his pocket, stretched out his left hand forward, gave the tennis ball a counterclockwise rotation, and then let go.

The tennis ball slowly fell to the ground with rotation, and the next moment, Niou's right hand picked the tennis ball from bottom to top, and the tennis ball flew towards the opposite half of the court with a rapid rotation.

Tom was stunned when he saw it. He didn't expect that in such a game, the opponent would actually serve with an underhand serve. However, he didn't think much about it and ran directly to the landing point to prepare to receive the ball. However, after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, it began to move rapidly back and forth in the air, and then disappeared from Tom's sight in an instant.

"This serve will disappear~" Fuji smiled and said in front of the net.

"ACE! 15-0!"

Tom looked at the tennis ball behind him in a daze. He didn't expect that the opponent seemed to serve with an underhand serve, but in fact, he actually had such a trick hidden. However, Tom recovered quickly and concentrated his attention waiting for the opponent's next serve.

Although Terry was a little surprised, he believed that his brother could handle this ball well, so he just posed for the game in front of the net and didn't say much to his brother.

At this time, Niwang had given the tennis ball a counterclockwise rotation again on the baseline, and then used the underhand serve posture to hit the tennis ball. The tennis ball flew to the opposite half of the court with a rapid rotation again.

This time, after Tom arrived at the landing point, he stared at the flying tennis ball. Not long after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, he swung his racket directly. Just when the racket was about to hit the tennis ball, the tennis ball disappeared in front of Tom's eyes again.

"ACE! 30-0!"

"Brother! Is it okay?" This time, Terry couldn't help asking his brother.

"Don't worry! Terry! I have seen through the essence of this ball!" Tom was not much panicked. Just as he said, he had seen through this serve.

"Oh? Did you see through the disappearing serve so quickly? I really can't underestimate you~" Fuji in front of the net said with a smile at the two of them.

Soon, Niou played the third disappearing serve. Tom also came directly to the landing point. After the tennis ball bounced, he swung his racket immediately, but he swung it directly into the air. But the next second, Tom turned around and swung his racket again at the air on the right. The tennis ball appeared at the front of the racket, but because Tom failed to control it, the tennis ball hit the net and fell down.

"40-0!"

Terry was relieved to see his brother hit the tennis ball. Although it didn't go over the net this time, this serve should have no effect on his brother in the future.

When Niou hit the disappearing serve for the fourth time, Tom on the opposite side was fully prepared this time. Looking at the flying tennis ball, Tom turned around and swung his racket at the air on the right. The tennis ball was directly hit back by Tom, and it was a topspin ball with a good angle.

After seeing the flying topspin ball, Fuji in front of the net raised his mouth a little, raised his racket with his right hand, and drew a semicircular trajectory in the air. The tennis ball flew over the net with a stronger rotation and then landed in the front court. Terry was about to catch the ball, but the tennis ball only bounced slightly, and then slid along the ground and rushed out of the court.

"The first return! The swallow returns to the nest!" Fuji said slowly.

"GAME! Fuji and Niou! 1-0!"

Terry and Tom were speechless now. What was wrong with these Japanese players? Why did they always like to play this kind of sliding tennis ball? The guy named Atobe was the same.

The second game was Tom's serve. Before his brother served, his younger brother Terry winked at Tom, which surprised Tom a little, but he nodded. The tacit understanding between the two no longer needed to be communicated with words.

Then Niou and Fuji found that the two people on the opposite side stood in a straight line, but it didn't look like an Australian formation. Just when the two were confused, Tom had already sent the tennis ball, and the tennis ball flew straight to the back of Terry's head.

Just when the tennis ball was about to hit Terry's head, Terry in front of the net suddenly turned his head, and the tennis ball flew past his ear and flew straight to the opposite half of the court.

After seeing this, Fuji immediately ran to the landing point. Because his vision was blocked just now, he could not judge the ball of the tennis ball in advance.

In the end, Fuji finally caught up with the tennis ball, but he hit a lob.

Seeing this, Turley on the opposite side quickly jumped up high and gave the tennis ball a hard dunk. The tennis ball instantly fell towards the opposite front court. Unfortunately, Fuji was already prepared and turned his body half a circle. The racket intercepts the falling trajectory of the tennis ball, and then uses centrifugal force to hit the tennis ball back high.

The tennis ball drew a parabola in the air, then hit the baseline directly and bounced out of the court, leaving Tom in the backcourt unable to fully react.

"The second counterattack! The brown bear is caught!" Fuji said again.

"0-15!"

"Weird! Why didn't Fuji use the evolved six-fold counterattack instead of using his previous moves?" Kikumaru in the audience asked with some confusion.

"Perhaps Fuji wants to hide his strength, after all, that's the kind of character he has!" Dashi said from the side.

"Maybe so~ but I always feel that something is not quite right!" Gan Sadaharu raised his glasses and said thoughtfully.

Tom stabilized his mind and hit the same serve again. The tennis ball flew directly towards Telly in front of him. When it came to the back of Telly's head, Telly turned his head to avoid it again, and the tennis ball flew past the ball. Net, flying towards the center line of the opposite half.

This time Fuji was prepared. He immediately reacted the moment he saw the tennis ball and ran directly to the ball drop point, hitting Tom's serve directly back at a very tricky angle and hitting Turley's left gap.

However, Turley made an unexpected move. He jumped into the air in an instant, and then turned his body 180 degrees, moving his head up and down, giving Tom behind him a large field of vision. Tom chased after him directly. A forehand slap on the tennis ball.

But Nioh had already appeared in front of the net and directly swung his racket to intercept. The moment the tennis ball hit the racket, Nioh used special skills to weaken most of the power on the tennis ball, and then released a short ball.

At this time, Turley had just landed and immediately rushed to his right side, but in the end it was a step too late. As soon as he came to the tennis ball, the tennis ball had already hit the ground, and the bounce was very small, which allowed Turley to only watch. The tennis ball bounces slowly, then stops.

"0-30!"

Terry glanced at Nioh opposite him solemnly. He was very aware of the strength of his brother's blows. Although it was a little weaker than him, he felt that it was not something that ordinary people could handle easily.

Tom followed suit and once again hit a serve that worked well with Turley, but this had no effect on Fuji, who easily caught up with the tennis ball and counterattacked.

The two sides began to constantly attack each other. Nioh and Fuji discovered that the cooperation of the two brothers on the opposite side could not only be used to serve, but also to return the ball. Fortunately, neither of them were ordinary players. Even if they couldn't You can judge the path of the ball in advance and react in time.

After four or five rounds, Nioh caught a flaw between the two opponents and swung his racket directly. Before the two could react, the tennis ball passed between them and then bounced out of the court.

"0-40!"

Tom sent the tennis ball out again, and Fuji easily hit it back, and the two sides started fighting again, but this time Turley showed all his strength in front of the net, frequently appearing in various difficult hitting postures, even surpassing Kikumaru. and Mukahi's acrobatic shots.

Not only that, Turley's strength is completely inconsistent with his appearance. You must know that if Turley had not known in advance that Turley was a boy, it is estimated that 99% of people would think he was a girl when they first met.

Fortunately, both Fuji and Nioh were able to use technology to reduce a lot of the power in the tennis ball, so that Turley's hitting was not able to exert its maximum effect, and Turley moved sideways and hit again.

Fuji, who had already felt the breeze, had a smile on his face. He hit the tennis ball with a backhand, and the tennis ball flew over the net with rapid rotation. Terry was about to step forward to intercept it, but the tennis ball instantly flew high into the sky. Fly away.

Terry and Tom looked at the height of the tennis ball, and they had already made a judgment in their minds that it would go out of bounds. However, when the tennis ball flew to the backcourt, it began to fall rapidly, and instantly hit the baseline, and then began to spin at high speed.

After Tom reacted, he rushed over to fight back, but the tennis ball bounced directly in the opposite direction. Terry, who was in the front court, felt the tennis ball behind him and instinctively turned his head. The tennis ball flew past his ear, and was then caught. Opposite Fuji grabbed it in his hand.

"The third counterattack! White Whale!" At this moment, the breeze blew Fuji's hair, making him look much more elegant.

"GAME! Fuji and Nioh combination! 2-0!"

The third game was a perfect serve game, and at this time Richard on the sidelines had already

He began to lose his temper. He did not expect his players to lose points one after another. It seemed that he would lose this game. How could he accept this?

"Damn it! How could Japanese tennis players be so strong? A country ranked low in the world would never have such players. Could it be that Terry and Tom were not serious?" Richard thought to himself.

Fuji came to the baseline with a strange smile on his face, then stretched out his left hand, gave the tennis ball a counterclockwise rotation, and then let go.

Terry on the opposite side was also stunned after seeing Fuji's action, but at this time Fuji had already hit the tennis ball with a bottom-hand serve.

Somewhat uncertain, Terry immediately ran to the landing point, looked at the bouncing tennis ball and swung his racket directly, but the next second the tennis ball disappeared, leaving his racket alone, and then the tennis ball appeared behind him and flew out of the court.

"I told you before, this serve will disappear~" Fuji kept his usual smile.

"ACE! 15-0!"

Terry and Tom are very depressed now. They have played doubles for so long, but they have never encountered any doubles team with the same serving moves. These two players from Japan are really weird.

However, Terry calmed down immediately. Anyway, this disappearing serve would not have much effect on him. When his brother hit back, Terry had already seen through it. Just now, he failed to hit back successfully because he could not believe that such a thing would happen.

Fuji did not hesitate and hit the disappearing serve again, but Terry on the opposite side easily hit the ball back, and Niwang in front of the net seemed to have not expected Billy to hit it back, and barely intercepted the tennis ball, but the quality of the return ball was not very good, and the tennis ball flew directly to the opposite side.

At this time, Terry had already run to the front of the net. Before jumping up, he glanced at Fuji and found that the opponent was still in the backcourt, so he directly hit the tennis ball with all his strength, and the tennis ball hit the frontcourt of the opposite side with strong kinetic energy.

You should know that Terry's strength is quite good. This smash is not much inferior to Taocheng's bottle smash. However, the opposite Nio held the racket with both hands, turned his body backwards, and intercepted the racket before the tennis ball was about to hit the ground.

The tennis ball hit the racket and rotated quickly, while Nio swung his hands upwards, and the tennis ball flew high, passed in front of Terry, and then hit the baseline at a very fast speed, and bounced out of the court in an instant, leaving Tom in the backcourt with no chance.

"Qilin landed!"

"30-0!"

Terry looked at Nio who was kneeling on one knee on the ground a little stupidly. Although it was a little different from the action of Fuji just now, it was much better in terms of effect. It was obviously a similar move. What was going on with this doubles.

This time their smash was completely sealed, which made the two brothers Griffey very uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. They could only focus more and continue the game.

This time, Fuji didn't serve the missing serve again, but directly served a high-speed serve at a tricky angle. The tennis ball flew straight to the opposite bottom corner. Terry quickly came to the bottom corner and hit the tennis ball back with a direct slam.

The two sides started a quick attack again. Due to Terry's strong explosive power and defensive area, Niwang and Fuji were unable to quickly score for a while, until Terry hit a topspin ball.

After seeing this, Niwang immediately raised the racket in his right hand and drew a semicircle from bottom to top at the flying topspin ball. The tennis ball flew directly over the net with a rapid rotation.

After seeing this action, Terry immediately thought of the move that Fuji played in the first game, and quickly stretched out the racket to the net, intending to intercept the tennis ball before it landed, but the speed of the tennis ball falling far exceeded his expectation.

After passing the net, the tennis ball fell rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it landed on the ground and spun at high speed, then bounced slightly and slid forward along the ground, rushing out of the court in Tom's helpless eyes.

"The Phoenix returns to the nest!"

"40-0!"

The two brothers Griffey exchanged glances with each other. They were now sure that the two opponents' moves were basically the same, and the one called Niwang should be stronger, after all, his moves were more powerful.

When Fuji served the ball again, the two brothers' return became very cautious, and they did not easily hit the topspin ball, let alone smash. Unfortunately, they ignored the breeze on the court.

Niwang looked at the tennis ball that was hit back by the opponent, and directly cut it with his backhand. The tennis ball was spinning towards the opponent with a complex rotation.

As the ball flew over the net, Terry looked at the familiar action and immediately signaled his brother to get ready.

As expected, the tennis ball flew into the air as soon as it passed the net, and then hit the bottom line accurately. However, Tom had arrived in time and was waiting for the tennis ball to rebound, but the next second, the tennis ball bounced directly to the right and flew out of the court in front of his brother's surprised eyes.

"White Dragon!"

"GAME! Fuji and Nioh combination! 3-0! Timeout!"

Just as the audience around cheered for the two, Fuji suddenly said to Nioh:

"We really have a tacit understanding~Pu Li!"

"Your triple return is very good, even I was a little surprised!" Fuji's voice suddenly came out of Nioh's mouth.

Then Nioh took off the wig on his head, and his figure instantly became Fuji, while the original Fuji's figure was blurred for a while, and then Nioh's figure appeared in front of everyone.
