Chapter 11: The True Meaning of Tennis

What is Tennis?

Good question. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Qiu is only a pity that there is no blackboard now, which allows him to mark the important information that he has made up on the spot.

"The tennis you see today is the ultimate product of countless ages, and its history dates back to the time of the Orc Wars, when the heroes of the human and the tribe gathered the wisdom of Archmage Kenrito to solve the irreconcilable conflict between the two tribes, and finally created this amazing sport. ”

So, this is an analogy to the long-standing contradiction between Herutia and the Byronic Empire?

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has the intention. Ophelia immediately thought of the irreconcilable contradictions of the Herutian Alliance, although the description of the orcs did not match, but the orcs' rampaging combat methods and iron-blooded culture were very similar to the iron horsemen of the Byron Empire!

Ophelia was introduced to politics earlier than Alyssa, and she is very good at digging deeper content from appearances.

Lin Qiu, who was not aware of Ophelia's changes in the slightest, continued to appropriated his "knowledge" as a modern person: "The reason for the emergence of the movement is that in the never-ending war, the leaders of both sides gradually realize that killing and destruction cannot solve anything, but can only breed new hatred, which is a cycle that they cannot ask for, but the strength of peaceful diplomacy cannot achieve the effect of reconciliation, and the verbal agreement is fragile. ”

This is...... Describing the current state of the Holuthia League and the Byronic Empire?

Ophelia was thoughtful.

After all, the Hundred Years' War was only a peace agreement in the end, and the hatred brought by the war did not disappear. Throughout history, such peace has not lasted long, some for more than ten years, and for a longer period of time, only a hundred years...... Could it be that he usually giggles, but he has long been aware of this potential crisis?

"Eventually they came up with the way of tennis. After that, Lin Qiu relied on the scene to make it up: "Although tennis is full of competition, it distinguishes between winners and losers, but it does not need bloodshed and killing, in this sport, it is purely a contest of strength and skill between the two sides, and at the same time of the duel, the two sides can take this peaceful way to peek at the gap in comprehensive strength." ”

It dawned on Ophelia that this was why tennis was similar to swordsmanship!

In the ultimate swordsmanship duel, it is almost impossible not to produce casualties, and in the master duel, every move is between lightning and flint, and it is not an exaggeration to use life and death in a thought. In tennis, there are only wins and losses, and there is no life and death.

"I didn't expect tennis to have such a secret!" even Phoenix was shocked. However, she was more interested in the origin of orcs: "Are the orcs in your mouth the offspring of humans and monsters?"

It's a bold idea.

In the early days of the invasion of Akalandu, there were indeed high-level monsters who came up with ideas. Humans are generally weak, they don't have the strong physique of monsters, and their life cycles are pitiful, but on the other hand, the potential of humans is endless, in other words, if the strengths of both are combined, they can give birth to a species that is stronger than both!

But before this bold idea could be carried out, the monster that proposed it was unfortunately killed.

The main reason may be that he said "unpleasant" words to the Holy Maiden and Cruia.

After all, the main lines of their monster legion at that time were still more middle-of-the-middle, such as "Fear, mortal!", "Hahaha, run away, little girl!" and so on.

And "Don't resist, come and mate with me!" was particularly harsh among them.

It was probably the only monster that was set on fire by Gosya and Golua.

Phoenix never expected that there would still be orcs in this world, doesn't this mean that the hope of the fallen monster has finally been fulfilled?

"What strange things are you concerned about!" Lin Qiu and Ophelia glared at Phoenix: "The focus of the story lies in the sense of history and mission of tennis!"

"That's right!" Ophelia chimed in, "Orcs are just a reference, it can be replaced with Argonians, Lizardmen, Vikings, and Byron Empire!"

"But having said all that, I still don't know the rules of tennis......" Phoenix's voice weakened a little in the face of the two people who shared the same hatred, and she changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I'm going to introduce the secret of tennis - the fundamental purpose of tennis is to beat the opponent, and its core is to hit the ball into the opponent's half of the court and try to make it impossible for the opponent to catch the ball!

Lin Qiu opened his arms, like a great man who made a declaration: "Therefore, not being obsessed with one move or another, fighting with the opponent as you like and enjoying the process of the duel, this is the highest skill in tennis!"

Hit the ball within the opponent's half-court bounds.

Try to make it impossible for the opponent to catch the ball.

Ophelia and Phoenix fell silent when they heard this, and this sentence was a great inspiration for them.

"It's not okay not to do actual combat, come on, let me, a tennis master, personally guide you!" Lin Qiu looked around, the space of the small training ground was just enough to be used as a tennis court, and Ophelia also brought enough rackets.

Lin Qiu picked up the racket and pulled up a net in the middle of the training ground, he didn't expect that danger was quietly approaching him.

"Since you're a tennis master, I'll help Ophelia this time!" Phoenix fanned her wings, using the little fire energy left in her body to condense into a flame arm holding the racket, she watched Lin Qiu's every move with full attention.

"Ophelia!"

And when Ophelia threw the tennis ball into the air, Lin Qiu shouted encouragingly, "Integrate the sword skills you have learned so far!"

"Of course!"

Ophelia's squinted eyes opened suddenly, and under Lin Qiu's guidance, she felt as if the blood surging in her body was burning because of this ball.

Is this what Ben Quixote often called "blood"?

The racket falls in an instant, leaving a beautiful arc.

"Be the pillar of the furnace, Ophelia!"

......

"Draw the sword - the Emperor of Hades!"

"Beaded Fireball!"

......

Everything was as Lin Qiu expected.

Except Ophelia and Phoenix misunderstand what it means to "try to keep the opponent from receiving the ball". In tennis rules, the act of physically attacking an opponent to prevent an opponent from receiving the ball is often referred to as a foul.

Ophelia's slash split the racket in two, and a barrage of fireballs from Phoenix blocked all the space he could move.

In terms of fighting, the people standing opposite Lin Qiu were all first-class heroes.

The next moment, Lin Qiu felt a pain in his abdomen. The fast-pacing tennis ball slammed into Lin Qiu's stomach and bounced him out.
