With Chen Anxia's hearing, he could naturally hear their conversation and knew that the content of their conversation was nothing more than his defeat of Atobe Keigo.
Chen Anxia didn't care about this.
A similar situation occurred with Keigo Atobe.
Unlike Chen Anxia, Atobe Keigo couldn't ignore it; his proud heart was repeatedly whipped by the gazes and conversations of those around him.
'Chen Anxia, I will definitely defeat you!'

Qingxue gathering area.
Everyone had arrived, but some of them looked rather strange.
Clearly, these people also knew that Chen Anxia had defeated Atobe Keigo yesterday.
They never imagined that Chen Anxia would do such a big thing so quietly.
Meanwhile, the regular team members and ordinary team members who were usually close to Chen Anxia gathered around him, wanting to learn more about the matter.
Suddenly, Momoshiro Takeshi asked, "Anxia, if I were to compete against Atobe Keigo, what would my chances of winning be?"
Chen Anxia was taken aback when he realized that Tao Chengwu would ask this question.
Then, Chen Anxia looked at Momoshiro Takeshi with some hesitation and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Upon hearing this, Momoshiro Takeshi replied without hesitation, "Of course it's the truth."
Seeing this, Chen Anxia no longer hesitated and replied, "If you were to face Atobe Keigo, with your current strength, you would have no chance of winning."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia looked at the regular members of Seigaku around him and continued, "Not only Momoshiro, but in Seigaku, apart from me and the captain, everyone else has a zero chance of winning against Atobe Keigo."
The faces of the regular members of Seigaku, who were being watched by Chen Anxia, turned serious after hearing Chen Anxia's words.
Even Fuji Syusuke, who is hailed as a genius, is no exception.
They knew that Chen Anxia was not lying, nor did he have any need to lie.
In their silence, Chen Anxia said again, "Atobe Keigo's strength is genuinely at the national level, and the national level is a threshold. Crossing it is equivalent to entering a completely new level of strength."
"As for just how strong this new level of power is..."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia couldn't help but look at Fuji Syusuke and continued, "For example, it's like Fuji-senpai's Swallow Return Flash and the Brown Bear getting caught."
"These two signature moves are undoubtedly killer moves for players below the national level, and they are extremely difficult to break. However, for national-level players, they can be easily broken."
"This is the difference!"
At this point, Chen Anxia stopped talking.
Chen Anxia believed that they could all understand what he was saying.
Tezuka Kunimitsu listened to Chen Anxia's seemingly demoralizing words without saying a word to stop him.
In Tezuka Kunimitsu's view, Chen Anxia's words could actually inspire their fighting spirit and morale.
This is essential for the upcoming Kanto Tournament.
Although the current regular members of Seigaku are all at or above the Kanto level, only I, Chen Anxia, Echizen Ryoma, and Fuji Syusuke are at or above the national level.
However, this is not enough to guarantee success for the Kanto Tournament.
It's important to know that both Hyotei and Rikkai have more students at the national level or above than Seigaku.
This also means that if Seigaku encounters Hyotei or Rikkai in the first two rounds of the Kanto Tournament, they may not even make it into the top four.
It's important to know that the top four teams in the Kanto Tournament are the ticket to the National Tournament.
If Seigaku fails to reach the top four in the Kanto Tournament, they will be unable to participate in this year's National Tournament.
This fact will be a permanent regret for third-year students like Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke, who will never have another chance.
Clearly, Tezuka Kunimitsu did not want this regret to occur.
Thinking this, Tezuka Kunimitsu unconsciously gripped his injured left arm with his right hand, muttering to himself, 'Although Anka is already capable of becoming a pillar of Seigaku, Seigaku's overall strength is still a bit lacking. Seigaku still can't do without me...'
'However, in my current condition, I can only last until the Kanto Tournament...'
'I hope that before that, the rest of the Seigaku will awaken, so I can focus on healing in peace...'
Time passed slowly, and the semifinals of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament began.
Seigaku's opponent in the semi-finals is Ginka Junior High School.
At this moment, all the regular members of Seigaku felt depressed because of Chen Anxia's words.
They desperately need a thrilling match to help them release their pent-up emotions.
Therefore, they all gave it their best to face Yinhua Middle School, hoping to vent their pent-up frustrations through the competition.
They never expected that the entire Yinhua Middle School team would withdraw from the competition because they had food poisoning.
This fact, while allowing Seigaku to win without a fight, made them feel uncomfortable, and even more depressed.
There was no other way but for them to team up in pairs to warm up, release their pent-up emotions, and prepare for the upcoming finals.
Among them, Fuji Syusuke originally wanted to find Chen Anxia, but someone beat him to it.
Ryoma Echizen walked up to Chen Anxia, looked at him seriously, and said, "Want to fight me?"
Chen Anxia had no reason to refuse and immediately found an empty field with Echizen Ryoma to start the match.
Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke could only smile helplessly, then looked at the only remaining person and said, "Tezuka, wanna have a match with me?"
Upon hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu immediately took out his racket, looked at Fuji Syusuke with a serious expression, and said, "Come on."
Fuji Syusuke sensed Tezuka Kunimitsu's seriousness from his words and expression, and his own expression unconsciously turned serious as well.
Fuji Syusuke didn't know why Tezuka Kunimitsu had suddenly become serious, but it was exactly what he wanted.
In his heart, Fuji Syusuke murmured, 'This is a perfect opportunity to test my progress during this time by having Tezuka get serious.'
The stadium where Chen Anxia and Echizen Ryoma played.
The competition had already begun, but because it wasn't an official competition and the venue was in a very remote location, there were very few spectators, mostly members of Chen Anxia's support group.
Having witnessed the mind-blowing match between Chen Anxia and his father, Ryoma Echizen went all out from the very beginning, reaching a state of selflessness.
At this moment, Ryoma Echizen had already reached the state of Muso (the state of selflessness).
If we disregard the physical exertion involved, the boost that the state of selflessness provides to one's strength is undeniable.
Weakened versions of the bullet serve, snake shot, crouching smash, super half-volley, swallow return, zero-style slice, and other incredibly powerful moves were all unleashed by Echizen Ryoma, who had entered the state of selflessness.
Ryoma Echizen's strength was thus fully revealed.
Unfortunately, Ryoma Echizen was facing Chen Anxia.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the spectators, Chen Anxia effortlessly countered all of Echizen Ryoma's signature moves, including Swallow Return and Zero Style Chop.
They recalled what Chen Anxia had said earlier, and thought to themselves, "Is the gap between national-level and non-national-level really that big?"

boom!
"0-6!"
With the announcement from referee Satoshi Horio, the warm-up match between Chen Anxia and Ryoma Echizen came to an end.
The result was self-evident: Chen Anxia decisively shut out Echizen Ryoma.
The clean sheets here refer not only to clean sheets with large margins of victory, but also to clean sheets with small margins of victory.
In other words, Ryoma Echizen failed to take a single goal from Chen Anxia.
The spectators were all shocked by the result, unsure of how to express their feelings.
The strength that Ryoma Echizen displayed in this match made them feel that it was unattainable, not to mention Chen Anxia's shutout victory over Ryoma Echizen.
They couldn't help but feel that this wasn't a competition at the level of junior high school students.
After the match ended, Chen Anxia left the stadium first, intending to go and see where other people were playing.
For Chen Anxia, this match was at most a warm-up, and the physical exertion was very limited.
As for Echizen Ryoma, he needed to rest for a while because he had used the Muga no Kyoukai (Muga no Kyoukai) technique and had exhausted too much energy.
Fortunately, the final was held in the afternoon; otherwise, given Ryoma Echizen's current condition, he might not have been able to compete.
The venue where Kunimitsu Tezuka and Syusuke Fuji played their match.
At this point, Fuji Syusuke was already being suppressed by Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Although Tezuka Kunimitsu is not currently using his dominant hand, he can still demonstrate national-level strength even without using his dominant hand.
This is Tezuka Kunimitsu, one of the three undisputed kings of junior high school education in Japan.
As Chen Anxia said, against Tezuka Kunimitsu, who possesses national-level strength, Fuji Syusuke's triple return shot—Brow Bear Net, Swallow Return Flash, and White Whale—was all easily countered.
The current score is 5-0, and the score is 0-40.
Among them, the score of 5 (large score) and 40 (small score) belong to Tezuka Kunimitsu.
This also means that Fuji Syusuke has yet to score a single point against Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Meanwhile, the game has reached match point.
If Fuji Syusuke concedes another point, the game will end with Tezuka Kunimitsu shutting out the match.
At this moment, Fuji Syusuke was panting heavily, his eyes, now fully open, staring intently at Tezuka Kunimitsu, who stood calmly opposite him.
In his heart, Fuji Syusuke couldn't help but mutter, 'Is this the strength of a national-level player? Although I had anticipated a gap, I didn't expect it to be this large, so large that it's despairing...'
As he pondered, the image of Chen Anxia unconsciously flashed through Fuji Syusuke's mind, and he murmured to himself again, 'Is Anxia's strength like Tezuka's, or is he even stronger?'
While muttering to himself, Fuji Syusuke seemed to sense something and couldn't help but look towards a corner outside the arena.
There, Fuji Syusuke saw Chen Anxia, who had been watching his match without him even noticing.
