Chapter 289 Anomaly, VS Echizen Nanjiro!
The match between Seigaku and Fudomine ended the moment Chen Anxia won.
Thus, the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament regional preliminary rounds ended with Seigaku winning the championship.
This news, along with Chen Anxia's formidable strength, quickly spread throughout the major universities in Kanto.
Apart from Fudomine, Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, and Hyotei Academy, other universities also sent personnel to investigate the true situation of Seigaku and Chen Anxia after hearing this news.
......
Because it was still early, Chen Anxia did not go home after the regional qualifiers ended, but went to the Roland Tennis Club to continue working on the behavioral pattern data model from Chen Qi.
Although Shinji Ibu has good strength and talent, he is indeed not enough for Chen Anxia at the moment.
This also prevented Chen Anxia from fully integrating the behavioral pattern data model from Chen Qi.
Soon, the tram arrived at the station.
After getting off the tram, Chen Anxia walked forward a dozen steps with a normal expression.
Then, Chen Anxia stopped and slowly turned around to look at the middle-aged man dressed in monk's robes not far away.
This middle-aged man was none other than Echizen Nanjiro.
Echizen Nanjiro was surprised that Chen Anxia would discover him, but he didn't care. Instead, he gave Chen Anxia a smile of interest.
Then, Echizen Nanjiro picked up his tennis racket and looked at Chen Anxia with a nonchalant air, saying, "Hey kid, wanna play a game with me!"
Because Chen Anxia had forgotten most of the plot, she didn't remember that Echizen Nanjiro had a small role in the original work.
In Chen Anxia's view, Echizen Nanjiro must be a player, and only in this way would he take the initiative to fight him.
Although Echizen Nanjiro's appearance and demeanor at this moment did not give people the impression of a master, it didn't matter to Chen Anxia, who needed to find someone to work with the data model.
Without much thought, Chen Anxia accepted Echizen Nanjiro's challenge.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Anxia led Echizen Nanjiro to the Roland Tennis Club.
Upon entering the Roland Tennis Club, Chen Anxia was recognized by some people, which caused quite a stir.
The news that Chen Anxia was going to compete against someone quickly spread throughout the Roland Tennis Club.
Those who heard the news, whether coaches or members, basically put down their training or competitions and flocked to the venue where Chen Anxia was competing.
This includes Chen Anxia's tennis coach, Kato Nuanren, and Mitani Kanade, a player who once challenged Chen Anxia.
This also demonstrates Chen Anxia's prestige at the Roland Tennis Club.
Meanwhile, on a court at the Roland Tennis Club, Sasaki, seeing his father suddenly stop playing, asked with some confusion, "Dad, why did you suddenly stop?"
Upon hearing this, Sasaki's father immediately said, "Let's stop. His match is about to start, and I need to go and watch."
As he spoke, Sasaki's father ignored Sasaki, packed up his racket, and headed towards the court where Chen Anxia was playing.
Sasaki, seeing this, couldn't help but become curious and followed after him, wanting to see who his father was talking about.
Upon arriving at the stadium where Chen Anxia and Echizen Nanjiro were playing, Sasaki immediately recognized Chen Anxia.
Upon recognizing Chen Anxia, Sasaki's face immediately contorted with resentment. Without a second thought, he reached out and tugged at his father's clothes, pointing at Chen Anxia and saying, "Dad, he's the one I told you about. Go and teach him a lesson!"
Sasaki's father looked in the direction Sasaki was pointing and his face darkened.
The next moment, Sasaki felt a deep love from his father strike his head.
This profound love from his father caused Sasaki intense pain, and he heard his father's displeased voice saying, "Are you trying to make me lose face? You actually want me to teach him a lesson?"
Sasaki was puzzled by this. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Dad, you were a top-ranked player known as the Golden Hound in high school. Would you be afraid of a kid like me?"
Upon hearing this, Sasaki's father glared at Sasaki and said with exasperation, "I've already said it, and you still don't understand?"
"He's no ordinary kid; he's the strongest newcomer at Roland Tennis Club, creating the legend of single-handedly defeating almost all the members and coaches of Roland Tennis Club."
Sasaki was taken aback and instinctively asked, "He defeated almost all the club members and coaches, does that mean that includes Dad...?"
Snapped!
Before Sasaki could finish speaking, he was struck by his father's deep love and felt the intense pain that had not yet subsided.
After reprimanding Sasaki, Sasaki's father couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia in the arena, his eyes revealing a look of fear.
The scene of Sasaki's father taking the initiative to challenge others with high spirits that day, only to be met with a crushing defeat, despair, and helplessness, is still clearly imprinted in his mind and cannot be erased.
On the other side, inside the stadium.
Echizen Nanjiro witnessed firsthand the commotion caused by Chen Anxia and heard about the legends created by Chen Anxia from the commotion.
This made Echizen Minajiro even more interested in Chen Anxia.
At the same time, Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but feel fear towards Chen Anxia.
The reason for this was that Echizen Nanjiro heard something unbelievable and unacceptable amidst the commotion.
The news is that Chen Anxia is a newcomer who has only been playing tennis for less than a month.
Echizen Nanjiro instinctively thought the news was fake.
Because Echizen Nanjiro simply couldn't imagine how a newcomer who had only been playing tennis for less than a month could learn and use techniques from the reverse field.
Moreover, the strength Chen Anxia displayed in his match against Shinji Ibu was nothing like that of a newcomer who had only been playing tennis for less than a month.
However, Echizen Nanjiro knew that there must be a reason for everything. Since this news had appeared, there must be a reason behind it.
The most likely reason is that Chen Anxia has only been involved in tennis for a short time, maybe only one or two years. But for some reason, the rumors became more and more exaggerated.
However, if this news is true, then...
As he thought about it, Echizen Nanjiro felt a strange chill creeping over his entire body, even raising goosebumps all over his skin.
Echizen Nanjiro let out a soft breath, clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts.
Then, Echizen Nanjiro, watching Chen Anxia preparing to serve on the opposite court, slowly closed his eyes, silently thinking, 'Chen Anxia, just give it your all and make me open my eyes!'
......
Chapter 290 The terrifying Echizen Nanjiro: Mind's Eye, Selflessness, and Absolute Power!
Just how good was Nanjiro Echizen's tennis skills? Probably no one but Nanjiro Echizen himself could know.
With Echizen Nanjiro's skill, he naturally developed and created all sorts of terrifying ball techniques.
One of them is cunning.
The initial "mind's eye" technique was developed by Echizen Nanjiro during his professional tennis career when he encountered a very difficult opponent.
Nowadays, most of the "mind's eye" technique is used by Echizen Nanjiro as a way to show off his strength when he competes against Echizen Ryoma.
The reason for self-proclaimed strength is not to deny the power of one's mind.
However, the mind's eye is not the same as the real eye; it has certain limitations and cannot compare to the real eye in most situations.
However, in certain situations, the power of shrewdness outweighs that of genuine insight.
......
At this moment, Chen Anxia had not yet noticed that Echizen Nanjiro had already closed his eyes.
After preparing to serve, Chen Anxia did not hesitate and directly hit a bullet serve.
No one present, whether it was Kato Kanto, Mitani Kanade, or any other members and coaches, could clearly see the bullet serve that had a speed exceeding 190 km/h.
Before they could even react, they heard the sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground and exploding.
The sound of a heavy, powerful racket striking a tennis ball followed.
Although those present didn't react immediately, upon hearing that sound, they all knew that Echizen Nanjiro had successfully returned Chen Anxia's bullet serve.
In the arena, watching the golden beam of light fly back, Chen Anxia's expression was somewhat solemn.
Chen Anxia did not expect that Echizen Nanjiro could return his bullet serve so easily.
However, Chen Anxia knew that behind this fact lay Echizen Nanjiro's extraordinary strength.
'He might also be a professional gamer...'
As Chen Anxia was thinking, he saw the ball being returned.
In his mind, supercomputing capabilities began to operate, collecting and analyzing Echizen Nanjiro's data in an attempt to construct a data model of Echizen Nanjiro's behavioral patterns.
It was at this moment that Chen Anxia suddenly realized that Echizen Nanjiro's eyes were actually closed.
This shocking fact caused Chen Anxia's face to show expressions of emotion, astonishment, and disbelief.
It should be noted that after Chen Anxia's chess skills reached the divine realm, his state of mind reached an unprecedented height.
Such a high level of mental state allows Chen Anxia to remain calm and composed in most situations.
However, Chen Anxia couldn't help but show such a huge change in expression, which shows the shock he felt at that moment.
This is understandable.
Although there are many fantastic and incredible tennis skills in the world of "The Prince of Tennis", none of them are as incredible as playing tennis with your eyes closed.
Even if Chen Anxia possesses supercomputing abilities, and even if he has collected all the data, he cannot play basketball with his eyes closed.
Because it is full of too many variables.
Chen Anxia couldn't imagine what kind of being could play basketball with their eyes closed...
In Chen Anxia's intricate gaze, he saw Echizen Nanjiro, with his eyes closed, precisely reach the landing point and return the ball.
At this moment, some of the spectators finally noticed and couldn't help but exclaim in horror, "He's playing with his eyes closed!"
This horrified exclamation drew the attention of more and more people to this fact.
Then, a wave of excited commotion quickly spread.
"Am I dreaming? Someone can actually play ball with their eyes closed?"
"Who is this middle-aged man dressed in a monk's robe who looks extremely slovenly? How can he play ball with his eyes closed?!"
"Even professional players probably can't play with their eyes closed, right?"
"I have never heard of any professional tennis player in today's world who can play with their eyes closed."
