Snapped!
Snapped!
......
The match officially began amidst the sounds of tennis rackets hitting the ground.
'Replicating...the bullet serve data model!'
As soon as Chen Anxia had a thought, a golden beam of light pierced through the entire area and exploded right at Haitang Xun's feet.
Kaoru Kaidou, on the other hand, seemed completely oblivious, standing there blankly.
boom!
It wasn't until a heavy thud sounded that Kaidou Kaoru looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon looking, Kaoru Kaido spotted the tennis ball rolling behind him.
"ACE, 15-0!"
Shuichiro Oishi's slightly trembling announcement rang out at just the right moment.
ACE means ACE ball.
In tennis, an ace is a serve that scores a point directly if it lands in the service box and the opponent does not touch the ball.
If the opponent touches the ball, but the ball goes out of bounds or hits the net, it is only called a serve and not an ace.
Outside the court, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo, who knew about Chen Anxia's serve, couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "It's here! Anxia's bullet serve!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding freshmen couldn't help but show their curiosity and asked questions.
At this moment, Satoshi Horio, who loves to show off and enjoy the attention, naturally stepped forward and explained in detail what a bullet serve is.
When Satoshi Horio mentioned that Chen Anxia's bullet serve had a speed close to 170 km/h, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
This greatly satisfied Satoshi Horio's vanity.
Even the players couldn't help but gasp in surprise after hearing Satoshi Horio's words.
These players already have a certain level of tennis knowledge, so they are well aware of what a serve speed of 170 km/h means.
It can be said that a serve with such ball speed would be considered a top-tier serve, even in the amateur men's tennis world.
In the game "The Prince of Tennis", it is unbelievable that a junior high school student can serve at such a speed.
At the same time, they increasingly felt that the "Prince of Tennis" game was not simple.
Their intuition told them that in the game "The Prince of Tennis," there were many more amazing tennis techniques besides the Zero-Style Chop and the Bullet Serve.
Inside the stadium, even the ordinary club members in their second and third years heard the name "Bullet Serve".
Unlike the freshmen, the first person they thought of when they heard the name "Bullet Serve" was Takeshi Momoshiro.
Because they all knew that Takeshi Momoshiro had two signature moves: a crouching smash and a bullet serve.
I wonder which is faster, Chen Anxia's bullet serve or Momoshiro Takeshi's bullet serve.
The area for starting players on the field.
Both Fuji Syusuke and Kikumaru Eiji had seen Chen Anxia's bullet serve from a distance, so they didn't have any special reaction when they saw it again.
Out of curiosity, Kikumaru Eiji asked Inui Sadaharu, "Inui, which is faster, Chen Anxia's bullet serve or Momoshiro's?"
Without stopping recording the data, Inui Sadaharu replied directly, "Kaidou has already told us the answer."
"Kaidou already told us?" Kikumaru Eiji looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask again, "Inui, what nonsense are you talking about? When did Kaidou tell us?"
Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke smiled and replied, "I think what Inui means is that Kaido couldn't catch Chen Anxia's bullet serve, but he was able to catch Momoshiro's bullet serve."
"And this must be the answer that Kaido told us."
Kikumaru Eiji was taken aback by this, then looked at Momoshiro Takeshi beside him and asked, "Momoshiro, what was the fastest speed of your bullet serve again?"
“170km/h,” Momoshiro Takeshi replied.
As he spoke, Momoshiro Takeshi's expression trembled slightly, and he continued, "I can tell that this guy's serve is faster than yesterday."
"So, is he making progress, or has he been hiding his true abilities?"
Upon hearing Momoshiro Takeshi's words, all the regular members of Seigaku around him were stunned. Even Inui Sadaharu's hand, which was recording data, unconsciously stopped, and his expression became somewhat blank.
The game continues on the field.
boom!
boom!
With the heavy thuds of two tennis balls hitting the ground, Chen Anxia scored two more points with two aces.
Right now, Chen Anxia is preparing to serve the last point of his service game.
If Chen Anxia gets another ace on this point, he will win his service game with an absolute advantage of four aces.
As Momoshiro Takeshi observed, Chen Anxia's bullet serve in this match was indeed faster than yesterday's.
The reason for this is that Chen Anxia had been trying to optimize the data model for the bullet serve.
Because the data model for the bullet serve is derived from Sasaki, it belongs to Sasaki's ball skills.
This also means that the action, posture, and power generation of the bullet serve are all Sasaki's own habits and characteristics.
This will also limit the true power of Chen Anxia's bullet serve.
After all, Chen Anxia is not Sasaki, and his physical condition and other aspects are completely different from Sasaki's.
Chen Anxia's optimization of the bullet serve data model is to make the bullet serve's movements, posture, and power generation methods more closely match his own situation and conditions.
Clearly, Chen Anxia succeeded.
At this moment, according to Chen Anxia's own estimation, the speed of his bullet serve could reach up to 180km/h.
Don't underestimate the increase in ball speed by 10km/h; just look at Kaoru Kaido's reaction.
Naturally, after successfully optimizing the bullet serve data model, Chen Anxia began working on optimizing other ball skill data models.
But Chen Anxia's ambitions extend far beyond mere optimization...
Bang!
With a heavy thud as a racket struck a tennis ball, a golden beam of light pierced the entire court and exploded at the feet of Kaidou Kaoru.
This time, however, Kaidou Kaoru did not remain motionless; instead, he fiercely swung his racket in the face of the exploding beam of light.
Then, a strange, obscure sound of a racket hitting a ball rang out.
The sound of the impact announced a fact: Kaidou Xun had received Chen Anxia's bullet serve, but not with the sweet spot of the racket.
This resulted in Kaoru Kaido's shot hitting the net.
Upon seeing this, Shuichiro Oishi, sitting in the referee's chair, loudly announced, "Serve to score, first game over, score 1-0. Next game, it's Kaido's turn to serve."

Chapter 245 Similarities, Snake Ball VS 'Snake Ball'! (First update, please subscribe!)
This game is Kaido Kaoru's serve.
As he prepared to serve, Kaoru Kaidou's expression remained unchanged, clearly unaffected by his loss in the first game.
Of course, Chen Anxia's bullet serve with a ball speed of nearly 180km/h must have put considerable pressure on Kaido Kaoru.
However, this considerable pressure also became a driving force for Kaoru Kaidou.
For Kaoru Kaidou, even in the face of dire circumstances, he would never give up as long as the competition was not over.
The new students outside the arena, including the players, all showed expressions of anticipation.
In their view, Chen Anxia, who is only a freshman, is able to hit a serve at the level of a bullet serve. So what level of serve can Kaidou Kaoru, who is a regular member of Seigaku, hit?
As they waited expectantly, Kaoru Kaido tossed the tennis ball high into the air.
The next moment, Kaoru Kaidou swung his racket forcefully at the falling tennis ball.
Bang!
With a dull thud as a racket struck a tennis ball, everyone saw a tennis ball, deformed and gaining immense kinetic energy and spin, hurtling swiftly towards the court where Chen Anxia was located.
It must be said that Kaidou Kaoru is worthy of being a regular member of Seigaku. For a junior high school student, this serve was excellent in terms of power, speed, and angle.
Compared to Chen Anxia's bullet serve, Kaidou Xun's serve seemed too ordinary, so ordinary that the expectant freshmen and players all showed expressions of astonishment and confusion.
They couldn't understand why Kaidou Kaoru, a regular member of Seigaku, would serve such an ordinary serve.
Is this the true strength of Seigaku's regular players?
Amid their astonishment and confusion, Chen Anxia had already returned the ball.
Facing Kaido Kaoru's serve, Chen Anxia did not use a Speed smash or a Zero-style slice, but instead chose a very ordinary return shot.
The spectators didn't think much of it.
In their view, this is the normal phenomenon. If Chen Anxia used all kinds of superb ball skills throughout the whole game, that would be abnormal.
Because behind every exceptional skill lies a price to pay.
The more impressive the skill, the greater the price one must pay; otherwise, one will inevitably face more limitations.
The reason for this is that the essence of ball skills is the force and spin that the player applies to the ball.
The more advanced the skill, the higher the requirements for power and spin.
Tennis is not only a contest of skills between the two players, but also a contest of their own character.
Besides skill, ball intelligence, ball feel, ball control, physical fitness, and other factors can all be key to the outcome of a match.
The match continues on the field.
People originally thought that Kaidou Kaoru would also choose to use a normal return shot, but unexpectedly, Kaidou Kaoru seemed a little abnormal when facing Chen Anxia's return shot.
The unusual thing was that Kaidou Xun didn't take immediate action after Chen Anxia's return shot, as if he hadn't even reacted yet.
It was unusual because Chen Anxia's return shot was actually quite ordinary; even the freshmen could see the trajectory of the ball.
In this situation, it seems somewhat unusual that Kaoru Kaidou, a regular member of Seigaku, was unable to react in time.
