Because the zero serve is truly an unsolvable serve based on the rules of tennis.

Although Echizen Nanjiro had previously hinted that the Zero-Shiki serve had a solution, Echizen Ryoma currently has no idea how to break it.

After the initial shock, Ryoma Echizen loudly proclaimed, "40-0!"

On the court, Echizen Nanjiro, though seeing the Zero-Shiki serve for the second time, couldn't help but show a look of amazement on his face.

Although Echizen Nanjiro almost stood at the top of the world tennis scene, and although his tennis background and experience are unimaginable.

But this was the first time Echizen Nanjiro had ever encountered a serve like the Zero-Shiki serve, which was not flashy but almost unsolvable and could bring people a sense of amazement and shock.

Echizen Nanjiro also highly praised the zero serve, believing that at least 90% of professional tennis players in the world are unable to return it.

This also means that Chen Anxia can defeat at least 90% of professional athletes in his service games with his zero-serve.

Of course, Echizen Nanjiro was not one of the 90%.

At this moment, Echizen Nanjiro's face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

Echizen Nanjiro knew very well that the key to breaking the zero serve was the brief moment when the serve hit the ground.

In that brief moment, the zero-style serve had not yet begun to spin, and only before the zero-style slice had begun to spin was there a chance to break the zero-style slice.

If the zero-style chop shot starts to spin, then even if you manage to lift the zero-style serve, it won't clear the net because of the spin.

Even Echizen Nanjiro would need to be truly serious if he wanted to seize that fleeting opportunity.

Echizen Nanjiro also knew that seizing that brief moment of opportunity was not enough to truly break the Zero Style Chop.

To truly break the zero-style slice, you need to hit the ball with the correct swing angle, speed, and force within that brief moment.

This is also why Echizen Nanjiro believes that at least 90% of professional tennis players cannot break the impromptu serve.

On the other side, after Ryoma Echizen declared the score again, Chen Anxia quietly prepared to serve and silently patted the tennis ball.

Meanwhile, in Chen Anxia's mind, Echizen Nanjiro's behavioral data model was operating rapidly, allowing Chen Anxia to foresee various 'futures' of Echizen Nanjiro.

Among these various 'futures,' Chen Anxia saw...

Then, Chen Anxia reached out and caught the bouncing tennis ball, then tossed it high into the air.

The next moment, to the astonishment of Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Nanjiro, Chen Anxia bent back and made a backbend gesture.

Previously, neither Ryoma Echizen nor Nanjiro Echizen had ever seen Chen Anxia make this backswing pose.

This also means that Chen Anxia is about to deliver a...

"A completely new serve!?"

Amidst Echizen Ryoma's astonished mutterings, Chen Anxia's bent waist suddenly sprang up like a spring, and then, using the force of this sprang-up, he swung his racket to hit the ball.

Bang!

Amidst the dull thud of a racket striking a tennis ball, a golden beam of light shot from Chen Anxia's racket, heading straight for Echizen Nanjiro's court.

Ryoma Echizen saw this ball very clearly.

This means that the speed of this ball is far from comparable to that of a bullet serve.

Echizen Nanjiro was naturally aware of this, but he didn't know the significance of Chen Anxia's serve.

However, Echizen Nanjiro arrived at the landing point immediately and swung his racket swiftly at the golden tennis ball that had already touched the ground.

call out!

A sudden whistling sound of a racket cutting through the air rang out, clearly reaching Echizen Nanjiro's ears, causing a look of astonishment to appear on his face.

Not only Echizen Nanjiro, but also Echizen Ryoma on the sidelines showed a look of astonishment.

In Echizen Ryoma's eyes, at the moment the golden tennis ball hit the ground, it seemed to transform into a yellow sprite shaped like a swallow, soaring swiftly past Echizen Nanjiro's racket, skimming close to the ground.

Ryoma Echizen had seen this scene before, but it wasn't a serve; it was the Swallow Return, one of the triple return shots created by the genius Syusuke Fuji.

Right now, Chen Anxia has actually executed a "Swallow Return" serve...

At this moment, Ryoma Echizen was so shocked that he forgot to announce the score.

Echizen Nanjiro stared at the ball in silence for a long time, the look of astonishment on his face lingering.

Echizen Nanjiro never expected that Chen Anxia, ​​in addition to the Zero-Style Serve, would create another almost unsolvable serve.

Although this serve is less difficult to counter than the zero serve, it is an absolute killer move in professional tennis, a dream serve that most professional athletes cannot return.

After a brief silence, Ryoma Echizen's voice, barely containing his shock, announced, "Chen Anxia wins this round, score 1-4."

At this moment, a storm was raging in Echizen Ryoma's heart. Both the incredible skills Chen Anxia displayed and the fact that Chen Anxia had taken a point from his father were impacting Echizen Ryoma's perception.

Because he had competed with Echizen Nanjiro since childhood, Echizen Ryoma was well aware of Echizen Nanjiro's unfathomable strength.

Although I hate to admit it, from childhood to adulthood, Ryoma Echizen has only ever won a small score against Nanjiro Echizen once. As for a big score, that's a dream that's now out of reach for Ryoma Echizen.

But Chen Anxia, ​​also a first-year junior high school student, was able to defeat his father by a large margin...

This fact was hard for Ryoma Echizen to accept.

Even Ryoma Echizen couldn't fathom how a middle school student could possess such strength.

At the same time, Ryoma Echizen also remembered Sadaharu Inui's strength rating.

Ryoma Echizen once asked Sadaharu Inui what Chen Anxia's strength rating was.

Inui Sadaharu's answer was "national level".

In the world of junior high school tennis in Japan, Chen Anxia is not the only one at the national level.

Does this mean that there are many people in the junior high school tennis world in Japan who possess skills comparable to Chen Anxia?

Thinking this, Ryoma Echizen couldn't help but clench his fists. While feeling the heavy pressure, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.

Ryoma Echizen murmured to himself, "National level... I will definitely reach that level too..."

As he spoke, images of towering mountains, exuding a powerful sense of oppression and requiring one to look up to them, appeared in Echizen Ryoma's mind.

Most of these figures were hidden in the darkness, with only Chen Anxia and Tezuka Kunimitsu clearly visible.

As Echizen Ryoma gazed at the figures in his mind, he murmured, "You wait for me..."

......

Chapter 314 A Desperate Gamble: The Unfathomable Echizen Nanjiro! (Please Subscribe!)

The match between Chen Anxia and Echizen Nanjiro has reached the sixth game.

This is Echizen Nanjiro's serve.

At this moment, Echizen Nanjiro was preparing to serve, hitting a tennis ball.

Even Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but feel emotionally affected after experiencing Chen Anxia's serve.

Because Echizen Nanjiro never imagined that he would lose a large score to Chen Anxia.

But when Echizen Nanjiro thought about the various dream-like skills Chen Anxia had displayed, he had to admit that Chen Anxia's ability to win a big score against him was not due to luck, but to his own strength.

However, it's not so easy to score against yourself again with the same skills.

This also means that if Chen Anxia wants the match to not end so quickly, he must have trump cards besides the distant ideal type, zero-style chop, and swallow return serve.

Given Chen Anxia's current skill level, the only way to score against Echizen Nanjiro is to use a serve or return shot that Echizen Nanjiro has never seen before and that is difficult to return.

This was something that not only Echizen Nanjiro understood, but Chen Anxia also understood.

As for whether Chen Anxia possesses any other trump cards or special moves...

Under Chen Anxia's completely focused gaze, he saw Echizen Nanjiro reach out and grab the bouncing tennis ball, then toss it high into the air.

During this process, Echizen Nanjiro stretched out his body and assumed a serving backswing position.

The next moment, before Chen Anxia even had time to react, he heard an unusually heavy thud as a tennis ball hit the ground.

By the time Chen Anxia realized what was happening, the golden tennis ball was already slowly rolling on the court behind him.

Even Chen Anxia, ​​who was fully focused, couldn't help but be deeply moved by the sight of the golden tennis ball slowly coming to a stop rolling.

It should be noted that in a state of complete concentration, Chen Anxia's already extraordinary dynamic vision would be amplified dramatically, not to mention that Chen Anxia also incorporated Atobe Keigo's exceptional insightful vision.

Under such circumstances, Chen Anxia didn't even have time to react to Echizen Nanjiro's serve.

This gives an idea of ​​how terrifying the speed of Echizen Nanjiro's serve was.

According to Chen Anxia's own calculations, in order to leave him no time to react, Echizen Nanjiro's serve would have to reach a speed of at least 250 km/h.

This is an incredibly terrifying serve speed.

What's even more terrifying is that Chen Anxia doesn't know if this serve, with a ball speed of around 250km/h, is Echizen Nanjiro's limit.

Upon realizing this, Chen Anxia's state of mind was stirred in an instant.

This upheaval even made it impossible for Chen Anxia to maintain full concentration.

Off the court, Ryoma Echizen, acting as the referee, was naturally unable to react to Nanjiro Echizen's terrifying serve.

Although Ryoma Echizen's dynamic vision is far superior to that of ordinary people, it is still somewhat different from Chen Anxia in his normal state, not to mention Chen Anxia when he enters a state of complete concentration and incorporates Atobe Keigo's insightful vision.

However, unlike Chen Anxia, ​​Echizen Ryoma did not have any particular feelings about Echizen Nanjiro's terrifying serve.

In the mindset that Ryoma Echizen had been instilled with since childhood, it was only natural that Nanjiro Echizen could hit such a terrifying serve.

Of course, Ryoma Echizen couldn't estimate the ball speed of Nanjiro Echizen's serve like Chen Anxia could.

In Echizen Ryoma's eyes, Echizen Nanjiro's serve was similar to Chen Anxia's bullet serve before, both of which made it impossible for him to react.

Therefore, Ryoma Echizen did not show any change in expression. After noticing the rolling golden tennis ball, he loudly announced, "15-0!"

As Ryoma Echizen announced his serve, Nanjiro Echizen prepared to serve again, once again slapping the tennis ball in his hand from the spot.

Although Echizen Nanjiro displayed terrifying strength in his serve, no one on the court except himself knew that this was not his limit.

Without the slightest hesitation, Echizen Nanjiro served his second serve.

Because the ball was moving so fast, the sound of the racket hitting the ball and the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground almost merged into one, becoming an unusually heavy impact sound.

Despite the impact, Chen Anxia remained unresponsive, allowing the ball to score again.

"30-0!"

With Ryoma Echizen's announcement, Nanjiro Echizen scored another point.
