Chapter 55: The Quarterfinals -- Japan
"Impossible!"
Nadal's eyes were fixed on the white stone, and the racket in his hand was squeezed by him.
The tennis ball, which shimmered with blue light, was blocked by a dark barrier. It was a racket, and it looked like a Fang Tian painting halberd with more than two strokes, and the cold light at the tip of the halberd flickered, which made people feel stinging when they saw it.
At one end of the racket, there is a white and flawless hand with black and white shimmering particles attached to it. The owner of the hand, with silver hair fluttering in the wind, his handsome face was full of solemnity, and his eyes had a charm and brilliance that made people's hearts sway. A little ghostly light flickered, and there seemed to be cosmic stars hidden in it.
I saw that he also held the racket in his right hand, and his legs sank, and he slashed down violently with both hands holding the racket.
Click~
Behind Nadal, cracks appeared in the blue crystal wall, like dominoes, and instantly turned from a little to a spider web.
Rumble!
Shiraishi threw the tennis ball out, the racket held diagonally, and his body was straight, obscured by the dark light, like a god of war.
cracking sound
In Nadal's eyes, this terrifying shot that flashed black arc seemed to turn into a star, bombarding his spiritual world.
Burst! The sea-like barrier was breached, and his aura was neutralized. As soon as the thought moved, the sea water instantly turned into ice, sealing the tennis ball.
Click
However, a crisp cracking sound, like the call of the devil, pierced through the thick layer of ice. His strongest defense was breached, and tennis, just around the corner!
Suddenly, Torres slammed to the edge of the ring and yelled, "Rafael! Do you want to die? ”
Die?
Nadal was shocked in his heart, looking at the terrifying tennis ball in front of him, he could really be shocked to death by this powerful force and gritted his teeth, and he burst out with all his strength and threw himself to the side.
Rumble!
The tennis ball slammed into the ground like a meteor, and suddenly, a terrifying wave of smoke and dust surged towards the surrounding audience.
"Ahem, cough, cough"
The scene was chaotic, and some people were so shocked that they forgot to hold their breath and inhale the ashes. More people cover their bodies with clothes to block the invasion of air waves.
For a moment, everyone had forgotten the result of the game.
Only those extraordinary players, a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on the standing white stone. That guy, I don't know what he came into contact with, the momentum that suddenly erupted just now was far beyond the three turns.
"Tsk"
Ralph rested his right hand on his left hand and rubbed his chin against the back of his hand, as if he had thought of something interesting. Du Du beside him had an unnatural face, and this scene looked inexplicable in Ryoma's eyes.
"Sign! He must be signed! ”
The old man's crutches slammed heavily on the ground, and he was so excited that he lost his mind. Seeing the strange eyes around him, he didn't care, and said to Polk with an excited trill, "Barisavich, we have found a peerless treasure!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Shiraishi with a blurred eye, as if he was appreciating the most wonderful things in the world.
The Chinese team, Zhuang Yichu looked at Baishi in the field in shock. Chen Lejia's eyes flickered, and he caught a glimpse of the young man outside the crowd, first startled, and then overjoyed.
The Japanese team, Phoenix, Ghost, Irie and others were not surprised or happy, and they couldn't see their thoughts. And Kurobe, who has always been unfazed, has a flash of joy between his eyebrows.
"Bang!"
In the hotel, Mifune, who was watching the live broadcast with Saito, slapped the table heavily. The body trembled, and the face that had undergone vicissitudes of life twitched slightly.
"Good, boy! That's great! ”
"Jingle Bell Bell"
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the desktop rang. Glancing at Saito, the corners of Mifune's mouth were slightly hooked, and he reached out to grab the phone: "Is it finally decided?" ”
On the field, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
"Hiss"
Everyone, including several people, including Phoenix, all had a change in expression.
Pit! When the ball went down, it smashed a big hole a few meters deep. In the deep pit, there is still a dark substance, like a flame flowing. What is even more striking is a figure next to the deep pit.
His body twitched slightly, and his thigh was scratched by scattered stones, and blood was pouring out.
"Raphael!" Torres roared, dragging his tired body into the arena. Seeing the linesman blocking him, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Are you an idiot? My team members are injured now, you know? ”
The voice was hysterical, like an angry beast.
The linesman was also frightened by the momentum on his body, and subconsciously dodged away. Torres walked straight to Nadal and saw that he had a cut in his leg, and the stones were stuck between the flesh like nails.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and shouted, "Referee, we abstain from this game!" ”
Abstention?
The crowd was taken aback by his sudden intrusion, after all, they didn't have the bt eye of a tennis player. As for the others, they all had the same expressions as they were.
If the two sides are not in the same state, there is no need to continue.
Eyes fell on the standing Shiraishi, and the players from other countries became solemn. After this battle, his momentum will overshadow Nadal, Polk and others, and become the real protagonist of this year's World Cup.
No! His dazzling light will illuminate a corner of the world tennis world.
As for the Japanese team, everyone was very excited, and even the ghost, who had never been smiling, had a smile on his face. However, when he caught a glimpse of Tanejima in a lonely corner, he smiled.
"Alas"
A long sigh preached in the ears of the preaching island, a wry smile hung on his face, and he sighed faintly, who knew the bitterness in his heart.
On the field, the breeze blew across Shiraishi's face, the solemn feeling gradually dissipated, and the glow in his eyes disappeared. In its place, there was a hint of confusion.
"What happened? What about Nadal? ”
As soon as he raised his gaze, he saw a terrifying sight on the other side. The original hard field was blown out of a deep pit, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, like Senluo purgatory. And Nadal, his opponent, is gone.
However, he can't remember exactly what happened after Nadal's attack reached him. It's as if the memory has been erased.
Wrong!
Shiraishi suddenly remembered the match between Ryoma and Sanada during the original Kanto Tournament.
"Could it be that I just went into an unconscious state?"
"But what is that white aperture?"
Thinking of everything he had experienced in the spiritual world before, Shiraishi smiled bitterly in his heart. The human spirit has infinite potential, and this statement could not be more true in this world where tennis is respected.
The feeling of thinking as if jumping out of the universe is endlessly evocative. The palpable white band of light is like the source of all truth, which makes people fascinated.
"Well done, Shiraishi!" Suddenly, Kenya walked behind him along with Yin and the other people from the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, and shouted loudly.
Turning his head, Shiraishi greeted them, and with a light glance, he saw the girl in the purple dress in the crowd. He smiled at her, but the girl puffed out her mouth, looking angry, but because of her lovely temperament, she was even more cute.
Shiraishi looked apologetic, and the girl put away her angry appearance. He withdrew his gaze and returned to the group with a few others. Phoenix, ghost and others looked at him with a smile, and Irie nodded to him. As for the junior high school students, they all looked at him with complicated faces, especially Yukimura. He thought that when he came back this time, the gap with Baishi would be narrowed, but he didn't expect it to be even bigger, and it seemed to have turned into a moat.
Like Tezuka, they have mixed tastes in their hearts.
Fuji came to his senses and said softly: "He is different from us, and he is destined to be the pride of this era!" His voice trembled slightly, showing his inner turmoil.
At the same age, he is known as a tennis genius, but he can see that realm. Such a gap is desperate, but it also arouses the not very enthusiastic pursuit in his heart.
No one knows that after today's match, the stars of the tennis world will be born in the future.
(End of book-_-)
At the end of the match, Japan defeated strong rivals Spain and became the first country to qualify for the top four.
As the two sides said their final goodbyes, Torres looked at Shiraishi with a strange gaze. A touch of hatred, eagerness, and a hint of indifference and sympathy are very complicated.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, a middle-aged man with a straight figure withdrew the council badge on his chest and closed the door with a smile. Take a ride to the airport, where there is an upcoming flight to Melbourne.
At the airport in Tokyo, Japan, a middle-aged man in an untidy dress passed through security and whistled as he walked to the plane bound for Melbourne.
China, an incomparably ancient country to the West and its neighbors.
In the afternoon, in a limousine outside Kyoto Airport, a middle-aged man in his fifties put down the phone in his hand, pushed open the car door, and walked to the plane that was about to fly to Melbourne, accompanied by several black-clad bodyguards
Pushing open the window, a warm breeze blew, and I looked at the starry lights outside. In his mind, a shadow flashed for no reason, and it was fleeting.
For some reason, an idea popped into him: "Is something going to happen?" ”
At this time, I heard the girl in the back room shouting, "Kuranosuke, I have your phone!" ”
Shiraishi's heart moved, and when he came to the back room, he saw the phone that was still flashing, and pressed the earpiece next to his ear. "Hello, I'm Kuranosuke Shiraishi!"
"Shiraishi, it seems that you have already come into contact with that thing."
The man spoke English, and his voice was long, but it felt very familiar. Suddenly, Shiraishi's eyes lit up, and the figure gradually became clear. The corners of his mouth curled into an arc, and some of his thoughts gradually became clearer.
It turned out to be you
