Chapter 120 The Despised Emperor
A hint of displeasure flashed in Irie Kanata's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a sharp gaze at Tianyu. A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of imperceptible anger in his voice.
"What an unlovable junior, Tian Yulin."
Upon hearing this, Tianyu not only did not show any fear or regret, but instead the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a confident and calm smile.
As if all this was within his expectations, he gently shook his head and responded in an almost gentle tone, "Irie-senpai, sometimes being too pretentious isn't good. Be careful not to be surpassed by the younger generation."
After saying that, Tianyu turned his gaze to Atobe.
Naturally, this scene just now had a different interpretation in the eyes of Keigo Atobe.
As the king of tennis, he is used to controlling everything and enjoying the admiration of everyone.
At this moment, realizing that Irie Kanata in front of him did not seem to be competing with his full strength, an uncontrollable anger suddenly surged in his heart.
"Hmph, Senior Irie, what do you mean by this? Do you think you don't even need to use 70% of your strength to fight me?"
Atobe Keigo's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of anger.
He gripped the racket tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his eyes flashed with resentment and anger.
In Keigo Atobe's view, this was not only a disregard for his personal abilities, but also a blatant provocation to his status as an emperor.
He couldn't accept such a result, as he won the game by relying on the opponent's letting him win.
How can Keigo Atobe continue to survive, especially when that bastard Tianyu is still present?
However, Irie Kanata seemed to be in another world, and ignored Atobe Keigo's words. His steps did not stop for a moment, and he walked towards the steady and tall figure of Mifune Nyudo.
This calmness was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Atobe's self-esteem, making his anger grow more and more intense like a flame fanned by an invisible hand, almost breaking through the cage of reason.
Atobe took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, but the hoarse voice still involuntarily flowed out of his lips and teeth, with unquestionable firmness and determination.
"Just wait, Irie Kanata. I, Atobe Keigo, will dominate the world and defeat you even if you give it your all! I swear on my dignity! I want to see you at your most miserable!"
Upon hearing this, Irie Kanata raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. He slowly turned around, and a gentle light flashed in his deep eyes, as if he had already seen through everything.
"Atobe-kun, your fighting spirit is truly admirable. How about this: if you become a member of the Neon U17 team, I, Kanata Irie, hereby promise to challenge you to a match of all-out, unreserved effort."
"By then, whether it's victory or defeat, I will gladly accept it, and look forward to witnessing the 'embarrassment' you mentioned, although I believe that will never happen easily."
When Atobe heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a spark of desire for challenge and persistence in victory.
He stood up straight, his eyes sharp, as if he had already seen the magnificent scene of himself standing at the top of the Neon U17 team and fighting the fateful battle with Irie Kanata.
"No problem, Irie Kanata, just wait and see! Not only will I make the U17 first team, but I'll also face off against all your pride and confidence in the spotlight!"
(Tianyu: I almost blurted out, Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don’t bully the poor)
……
On the other side, on the intense court, the duel between Akutsu and Onijushiro finally came to an end, but the result was very regrettable.
Although Akutsu is very strong, his opponent is Oni Jujiro, the goalkeeper of Neon U17, Pitch No. 5. At this moment, he can only helplessly accept the bitterness of defeat.
Every swing of his racket seemed to be a fight against fate, but in the end he failed to change the outcome. He lost completely and tragically, and his body was covered with battle scars, each of which recorded the intensity and cruelty of the battle.
On the other hand, Kijujiro stood there like an insurmountable mountain. Even such a high-intensity confrontation could not move him in the slightest.
There was no excessive expression on his face, not even a drop of sweat. This calmness and strength surprised Tianyu.
The current Akutsu is an enhanced version of Akutsu.
But when Tianyu saw the score of "7-5" on the scoreboard, he understood instantly.
Akutsu's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, staring at Onijūjiro intently, with a complex emotion mixed with unwillingness and anger.
He couldn't accept that he would be defeated by someone other than Tianyu.
In Akutsu's heart, Tianyu is his benchmark and the goal he strives to catch up with, but now, this newly emerged opponent has defeated him in an almost humiliating way, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to his self-esteem.
(Oni Jujiro is holding the racket with only two strings)
At this moment, Tianyu's voice penetrated the cold air like warm sunshine and reached Akutsu's ears.
"Are you unwilling to give up? Then work hard to become stronger and fight back next time!"
Tianyu's words were concise and powerful. He knew very well the pride in Akutsu's heart, and he believed that he could draw strength from this failure and rise again.
Tianyu's eyes were full of encouragement and expectation. He believed that Akutsu had unlimited potential. As long as he didn't give up, he would be able to surpass Onigijujiro one day!
At this moment, Akutsu seemed to be touched by an invisible force, and his eyes gradually became firm and bright.
Yes, he was unwilling to give up. He wanted to turn this unwillingness into motivation to move forward, and defeat Oni Jujiro with more diligent training and more firm belief!
He believed that one day, he would stand in front of Onijūjiro again and prove his worth with his strength.
Afterwards, Tianyu walked towards Sanfunurudo.
He lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Mifune Nyudo.
As he spoke, Tianyu's eyes flickered with an imperceptible complex emotion, as if he was waiting for confirmation of some important information.
Following Mifune Nyudo's response, an expression of disbelief and shock suddenly appeared on Tianyu's face.
This was not only because what he heard was beyond his expectations, but also because of the name - a name that was not unfamiliar, but was enough to stir up waves in his heart.
Then he said goodbye to Atobe and hurriedly left Hyotei.
After Tianyu left, Mifune Nyudo looked at Kijujiro and waved his hand at him.
Kijujiro understood immediately, and then he walked towards the Hyotei group with a ferocious look on his face.
