Clearly, Seigaku's performance in doubles exceeded their expectations.
In particular, the golden duo of Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro displayed strength that made them all take them seriously.
They were also considering whether their own doubles pair could defeat this golden duo, and if so, how...
While they were deep in thought, Jin Akutsu silently took his racket and walked onto the court.
In contrast, Chen Anxia also took out his famous 'Sunshine' racket and quietly walked onto the court.
Discussions were already taking place in the area where Yamabuki Junior High School was located.
"The King of Seigaku, he's been in the spotlight too much lately."
"Do you guys think Akutsu can beat Seigaku's King?"
"Definitely. Akutsu lost before only because he hadn't awakened yet."
"But now, Akutsu has undergone this period of hellish training and has awakened into a complete monster. How could a human possibly defeat a monster?"
"Seigaku's King is no ordinary person either; he defeated Atobe Keigo!"
"Do you think Atobe Keigo used his full strength in his match against him? If not, then..."
"You won't get anywhere by discussing this. Just watch the game; the game will tell us the answer."
......
Meanwhile, the strong players from other universities were all stunned when they saw Chen Anxia appear as the third singles player.
In the various events of the national competition, there is usually an unwritten rule that the order of appearance in singles matches is determined by strength.
In other words, the later an actor appears in the lineup, the stronger they are.
So, is Chen Anxia now appearing as the No. 3 singles player because the No. 2 and No. 1 singles players are stronger than him, or is Seigaku deliberately arranging it this way to confuse them?
They have to consider this issue.
If it's the former, then this time Seigaku will probably become the biggest obstacle to their domination of the national tournament.
Because Chen Anxia possesses the strength to defeat Atobe Keigo.
Based on their understanding of Atobe Keigo, they knew that given Atobe Keigo's pride, he would definitely not allow himself to lose to a first-year student.
Since Atobe Keigo lost, it means that Chen Anxia's strength is indeed above Atobe Keigo's.
Among them, Yanagi Renji, as the leader and strategist of the three giants of the kingly Rikkai University, had more ideas.
The reason why Liu Lianji came here in the first place was because he already knew from Sanada Genichiro that Sanada Genichiro had lost to Chen Anxia.
Although Genichiro Sanada said that if they were to have another match, the outcome would be uncertain, the fact that this match was already in place still shook Renji Yanagi to his core.
For the first time, Liu Lian'er truly took Chen Anxia seriously.
Liu Lian'er came here specifically to collect data on Chen Anxia.
What Sanada Genichiro could think of, Yanagi Renji could also think of.
Therefore, Liu Lian'er needs to formulate a strategy against Chen Anxia based on Chen Anxia's data.
In Renji Yanagi's mind, the path of Rikkai University's three-peat as the reigning champions was one that absolutely could not be altered.
As for Akutsu Jin, who was competing against Chen Anxia, they didn't even consider him a threat.
This is normal, because Akutsu Jinya was only recently recruited into the tennis club by Banta Mikiya, and has not yet made a name for himself in the junior high school tennis world of Japan.
Amidst the diverse thoughts of the participants, the competition began.
Based on the result of the coin toss, the first game is Akutsu Jin's serve.
Akutsu Jin didn't make any preparations for serving; he just held the tennis ball in his hand and grinned at Chen Anxia.
Immediately, Jin Akutsu tossed the tennis ball high into the air, stretching his body and revealing his incredible flexibility.
The next moment, Jin Akutsu aimed at the falling tennis ball and delivered a swift and powerful strike.
Upon seeing this ball, excited shouts erupted from the Yamabuki Middle School camp: "It's here! It's Jin Akutsu's bullet serve!"
Meanwhile, the strong players from other universities on the sidelines couldn't help but slightly narrow their pupils when they saw Akutsu Jin's bullet serve.
Among them are many national-level powerhouses, such as Shiraishi Kuranosuke of Shitenhoji School, Kite Eishiro of Higa Middle School, and Yanagi Renji of Rikkai University.
But Jin Akutsu's bullet serve also made them feel the speed.
They knew that even if they wanted to receive a serve at that speed, they needed to concentrate and not get distracted.
According to Renji Yanagi's estimate, the speed of Jin Akutsu's bullet serve should have exceeded 190 km/h.
This speed of serve is already considered top-notch in the current junior high school tennis scene.
They hadn't expected that the relatively unknown Jin Akutsu would be able to serve at such a high speed.
This made them take Akutsu Jin seriously for the first time.
The area where Qingxue is located.
After learning the name of Jin Akutsu's serve, the members of Seigaku all looked a little strange.
They all knew that Akutsu Jin had suffered greatly at Chen Anxia's bullet serve, and at that time, the speed of Chen Anxia's bullet serve was only over 180km/h, not over 190km/h.
Now, Jin Akutsu is back with a serve that can reach speeds of over 190 km/h. Is he planning to retaliate in kind?
If so, then Akutsu Jin has really miscalculated, because...
On the court, amidst Akutsu Jin's manic smile and expectant gaze, Chen Anxia suddenly appeared at the landing point and easily returned Akutsu Jin's bullet serve with a speed exceeding 190km/h.
boom!
"0-15!"
At the referee's announcement, the smile on Jin Akutsu's face froze.
Not only Akutsu Jin, but also the excited students of Yamabuki Middle School froze on their faces upon seeing this, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They could hardly believe that Akutsu Jin's hard-practiced serve, which Banta Mikiya praised as one of the best in junior high school tennis in Japan, was so easily returned by Chen Anxia.
Even Banta Mikiya, who had been keeping his eyes half-closed and maintaining a kind smile, couldn't help but open his eyes at this moment, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable shock.
Meanwhile, Chen Anxia calmly looked at Akutsu Jin across the arena, and said in a voice that was both confident and powerful, "Come on, Akutsu Jin, show me the strength you have gained from hell!"

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Akutsu Jin could no longer contain his anger. He gripped the tennis ball tightly and roared at Chen Anxia, "You brat, I swear, I will tear you to pieces!"
As he spoke, Akutsu Jin served another bullet serve.
Perhaps it was the anger in his heart that ignited Akutsu Jin's potential, making this bullet serve faster than the previous one.
However, not everyone can perceive this change in speed.
Aside from national-level powerhouses like Tezuka Kunimitsu, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, and Kite Eishiro, those present were able to perceive the change in speed.
That leaves only Ryoma Echizen, Eiji Kikumaru, Kintaro Toyama, who have excellent dynamic vision, and Sadaharu Inui, who is very sensitive to data.
As for the others, they only knew that Akutsu Jin's bullet serve was very fast, so fast that they couldn't see it clearly, but they didn't know exactly how fast it was.
For Chen Anxia, Akutsu Jin's bullet serve, which didn't even exceed 200km/h, was simply too slow.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia quickly arrived at the landing point and easily returned Akutsu Jin's bullet serve.
Chen Anxia could have scored directly by returning the ball, but he suddenly remembered something and deliberately controlled the angle, power, and speed of his return shot so that Akutsu Jin could catch it.
What Chen Anxia was thinking about was Akutsu Jin's extraordinary physical talent.
Even Chen Anxia had to admit that Akutsu Jin's physical talent was the strongest he had ever encountered.
His motor skills, destructive power, speed, flexibility, and balance are all outstanding, reaching a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Chen Anxia now has a basic understanding of his own body and knows that in terms of pure physical talent, he is no match for Akutsu Jin.
Therefore, Chen Anxia needs to use his ability to become stronger when facing stronger opponents to make Akutsu Jin's physical talent his own.
Therefore, Chen Anxia needs Akutsu Jin to fully demonstrate the data of his strong physical talent.
Although Chen Anxia had previously collected data on Akutsu Jin, the old data was simply no match for the new data.
It's worth noting that during this period, Akutsu Jin underwent grueling, hellish training in order to defeat Chen Anxia.
This also means that Jin Akutsu's physical talents were further developed during this period.
What Chen Anxia wanted, of course, was to further develop and perfect his physical talent.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
......
Amidst the resounding clang of rackets striking tennis balls, the match unexpectedly descended into a stalemate, a close and evenly matched contest.
Only the members of Seigaku, after witnessing the stalemate and stalemate before them, vaguely guessed Chen Anxia's intentions.
Of course, they couldn't possibly guess Chen Anxia's true intentions; they only assumed that Chen Anxia wanted to collect Akutsu Jin's data during this stalemate.
As the stalemate intensified, the spectators outside the stadium couldn't help but start discussing it amongst themselves.
"What's going on? Why is this ball taking so long?"
"That white-haired youth was able to hold his own against Chen Anxia for so long. Does this mean he possesses strength comparable to Chen Anxia's?"
"Who is that white-haired boy? Why have I never heard of him before?"
"That white-haired boy's physical talent was terrifying—his athletic ability, his flexibility, his speed, his balance..."
"This kind of physical talent is simply monstrous..."
"I never expected that Yamabuki Middle School had such a powerful hidden weapon."
"I always thought that Yamabuki Middle School's ace was Lucky Sengoku, but now it seems that it should be this white-haired boy."
"Does anyone know his name? I'm starting to get curious about him."
"I never expected that even Chen Anxia couldn't break through his defenses..."
