Chapter 42: The Real-Life Prince of Tennis
After lunch, Chen Shao and Yun'er Xiao Xian came to the tennis court; looking at the people inside, Chen Shao was even more itchy.
"Oppa, it's been a long time since I've seen you play tennis. Are you going to go play?" Chen Shao from his previous life became obsessed with tennis after watching "The Prince of Tennis"; he also went to play, but because of his poor physical condition, he would often have to rest; this situation made many people not want to play with him.
After rebirth, due to the reason of cultivation, the physical condition has become quite good; at a young age, he can play a full game with adults. When he was younger, he often played tennis with Yoon's father, so Yoon and Soo-young didn't find it strange that Chen Shao could play tennis at all.
Before the age of ten, I could play a whole game with Yuner's father. Although I never won a single round, I managed to hold on for the entire game; at that time, it was scary enough to make Yuner's father sweat profusely, and every time he would try his best not to lose to a ten-year-old kid, or else he would be humiliated.
"Yes, it's been two or three years since I last played; I used to play when I was in college in the US, but after graduation, I stopped playing"
"Then you go change your clothes, I'll stay here with Xiao Xian and watch you play," saying that he handed the tennis racket to Chen Shao.
The tennis bag went to the locker room, after arriving at the locker room; Chen Shao was stunned, what the f**k is this?!
"What's going on? I asked my sister to prepare a set of sportswear for me, and this is what she gives me? How am I supposed to wear these to play ball?" Inside the tennis bag was a pair of red sports pants, a purple tank top, and a pair of sports shoes. "Only the shoes look normal, everything else looks like it's not mine... Could my sister have taken hers and given them to me? But they don't seem to be hers, they fit me perfectly... Whatever, I'll just put them on and go out; doesn't matter anyway."
After changing into new clothes, the people on the sports field also looked over; Chen Shao's outfit was too eye-catching; his hair was still the same, and the color was still bright blue, but he wore a tight-fitting purple vest on top, perfectly revealing his figure. The red long pants on the bottom had one pant leg rolled up and tied with a headscarf at the knee; it would be strange if this outfit didn't attract attention. He also held a tennis racket in his hand.
As soon as he walked out, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Wow, young master's outfit is so stylish!"
"Yes, I never thought that a vest and a pair of sports pants plus a headscarf could create such a great look"
"It's really cool, looking at young master's posture, it seems like he wants to play tennis"
"What's the delay, hurry up and inform Tiankong from school"
"Oh, okay, I'll post it on Twitter right away"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Such scenes have appeared in every classroom of Da Yong High School;
"What's this? Young master wants to play tennis? What are you waiting for, hurry up and go to the court!"
"Go read your stupid book, Xiao Ai is leaving."
"Right away, I'm coming, wait for me."
Come on, come on, Chen Shao is going to play tennis, let's go and have a look at the excitement.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Chen Shao looked at more and more people gathering around, also couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now was break time, can't say anything; could only follow along with them.
He walked onto the tennis court. Actually, everyone inside had seen this situation; now the tennis team was practicing, but not training, so others could still come in and play.
"Excuse me, is there anyone who can practice with me?" Looking at the people in the venue staring at him, Chen Shao didn't hesitate and said directly;
"I'm coming," a man slightly shorter than Chen Shao walked out, but his build was much larger than Chen Shao's.
Looking at this person, Chen Shao knew that he was his classmate, who used to stare at him with hatred during class.
"I'm your classmate, Zhang Jiayu, the deputy head of the tennis club; how about it, let's play a game" A grown-up with a fierce and intimidating appearance, but I don't know what his skills are like.
Well then, let's use you, the vice captain of the tennis club, as a warm-up. "Alright, just you; I haven't played in a long time, come on."
"Then I'll be the umpire. Oh, let me introduce myself, I'm the captain of the tennis club, my name is Han Luo."
"Alright, let's start then. How about a game to decide the winner?" Anyone who knows tennis would understand what this means; as the two leaders of the tennis club, how could they not know?
"Alright, let's get started then! Do you serve first or shall I?" Zhang Jiayu asked.
"It's all the same to him who goes first"
"I'll throw it if I throw it, you'd better catch my ball"
"Come on then"
Young master, add oil, young master fighting! The tennis court is now packed with people, and the voices cheering for Chen Shao are endless; even the principal of Dayong High School was shocked.
"Haha, didn't expect this kid to cause such a big commotion on his first day; but I'm really looking forward to your performance, you've done so well in the entertainment circle, wonder how you'll do in sports." The principal of Dayong High School was standing in his office, looking out at the tennis court.
"Oppa, are you okay? It's been a while since we last played. From the start, I was up against the vice captain of the tennis club. Is that alright?" Xian asked Yoon-ah beside him, although he trusted Chen Shao, but after all, it had been many years since they last played, and his hands were a bit rusty;
"Don't worry, he won't do anything without being sure; at the age of ten, he could already make my dad so miserable, even if he's worse, he wouldn't lose to Zhang Jiayu, right?" At this time, Yun'er thought of what Chen Shao had said to her in class about trouble; it should be related to this classmate named Zhang Jiayu.
At this time, the game in the field also started. Chen Shao was definitely practicing his hand and was quickly taken down by Zhang Jiayu for three points.
"How about it, are you okay? You've already lost three games in such a short time?" Zhang Jiayu saw Chen Shao lose three games to him, making him lose face in front of so many fans, and he was very pleased with himself;
"Who is that guy, so despicable; after the game ends, just wait and see if I don't rape him in the toilet."
"Rape him once is not enough, he needs to be gang-raped, humph."
The game continued in the field, this time Chen Shao served a sentence;
"Dong; dong; dong (I guess you know what's coming next) Alright, let's officially start. I'm almost used to it too. Hope you can hold on till the end."
She tossed the ball high into the air and before it even fell, she jumped up to hit it; The ball landed on the opponent's court, in Zhang Jia-yu's opinion this was a pretty good serve, not one that couldn't be returned; However, the next moment she was shocked stupid, if not for her own slight tilt of the head at the last moment, the tennis ball would have definitely hit her face.
"Hmm, this is...". Not only Zhang Jia-yu, but also Han Luo was frightened by this serve; in his opinion, such a serve was impossible to make in reality.
Hehe, no big deal; just a slip of the hand; After rebirth, Chen Shao was still a fan of "The Prince of Tennis"; He had mastered all the ball skills he liked in it; As long as they weren't too exaggerated, he could do them; Even if they were a bit exaggerated, he could do them, but there was no need to show off that much.
The fans who were watching from the sidelines thought Chen Shao's hand really slipped and remained silent on one side.
The match continued with the same posture; in the eyes of the two department heads of the tennis department, it was not just a simple hand slip.
"Pa" Zhang Jia-yu was prepared this time, but because the ball bounced up so quickly, not to mention hitting it back, just dodging it was barely enough.
"What? This can't be......"
"It should be, the male lead's forehand topspin serve in 'The Prince of Tennis'"
"Can you master this technique too, young master? Isn't it just an illusion?"
"I don't know either, we're also seeing it for the first time"
Yuner and Xiaoxian were also looking at their boyfriends with a surprised face; didn't expect him to actually learn this technique, they had seen the anime too; of course, they knew how exaggerated the ball skills were in it; didn't expect to see it with their own eyes, haha; now this is going to be fun.
"Nothing's wrong, is it? You should also know where this came from; next is yours to bear," Chen Shao had been displeased with Zhang Jia-yu for a long time, and that Han Luo was the same.
They were both pursuers of Yun'er, the only difference being that the former was a classmate who could easily harass Yun'er, while the latter had pursued her during her first year of high school. Chen Shao knew this and felt extremely displeased; it wasn't that others couldn't pursue Yun'er, but rather that these two people's pursuit methods were too shameless. They always created coincidences, which was a specialty of reborn individuals. You say what kind of pursuit method is not good, yet you insist on using Chen Shao's most favorite and commonly used method to chase her. It would be strange if Chen Shao could feel pleased about this.
"Can anyone really master this technique?" Han Luo thought to himself after seeing Chen Shao's two serves, that his skills were not something he could compare to.
But this was just the beginning, taking the first set easily with a forehand winner; 3-1
This time, Chen Shao received the serve, and Zhang Jia-yu threw the ball into the air. When it fell, she hit it strongly towards Chen Shao's court, with great force and speed. However, in Chen Shao's eyes, it was slow enough; he judged the ball's landing point well, swung his racket, and made a smooth motion. The audience watching from outside thought it was very cool and charming. When the ball touched the racket, Chen Shao pulled the racket upwards from below, and the ball flew out. Due to Chen Shao's previous action, the ball had spin on it, so when it hit the net, it didn't bounce up but rolled directly out of bounds. With the help of borrowed force and his own swinging motion, it looked even more powerful than in "The Prince of Tennis". This was something Chen Shao had figured out for himself.
"The Yan Hui Flash, a special move of Ryoma Echizen from "The Prince of Tennis"; this is getting serious!" Han Luo looked at the ball and was completely astonished; this technique is several times more powerful than those on the international tennis court.
"Wow, it's not two weeks of assistance from Yan Hui; just now it was an outside spin serve, this time it's a Yan Hui flash; what will it be next? Zhang Jiaoyu no longer thought that he could win the match at this point, and now he only wanted to see how many ball skills Chen Shaonan had in "The Prince of Tennis";"
The match continued, and Chen Shao still used one move to take down a game; 3-2.
This time he served, unlike last time, hitting the ball three times before throwing it into the air to hit; but with his left hand's three fingers holding the ball, lightly rotating and releasing, his right hand immediately swung the racket from bottom to top; when contacting the ball, suddenly exerting force to strike out.
Zhang Jia-yu watched the ball's speed wasn't fast, at the point where the ball was about to land, she chose a good position and swung her racket. However, just as she was about to hit it, the ball suddenly disappeared; by then, the ball had already appeared behind her back. People standing behind Zhang Jia-yu watching the match clearly saw that the ball suddenly accelerated, very quickly, and from the front, one could only see a shadow.
"Is this another disappearing serve? It seems he's not your opponent, I'm afraid even if I go up, I won't be able to bring out half of your strength; what about two people?" Han Luo thought, if it was like this, they would definitely be said to be bullying others.
"Alright, Zhang Jiayou, you're not my match, and neither is your minister. I'm in a good mood today, so why don't the two of you come at me together? Don't deny it or refuse, from those last two games, you can see my strength for yourself. I believe you're both smart people, so let's not waste any more time. We've only got an hour before class starts, and today I'm going to take down your entire tennis club. How about giving me a chance? I, Chen Shao, am challenging the two leaders of the tennis club to a singles match. I think Minister Liu is itching for it too; I'm just saying what's on his mind."
"Since you've said that, what's left for me to refuse? I also want to see how strong the newcomer in the entertainment industry is at tennis. To be honest, I'm still a fan of your songs; I believe I'll become a sky later on, but not now, unless you can beat both of us." Han Luo took off his jacket and walked onto the court.
"No need to play the front court, let's play double back court instead. He definitely won't release the ball in the front court either; but we still need to be on guard. Chen Shuo's skills have surpassed playing tricks like short serves."
"Got it."
Chen Shao watched the two of them communicating with a very leisurely expression, and after seeing that they had communicated, he continued to say "The competition will continue according to the current score, no need to start from scratch". The current score is 3-2, which is still Chen Shao being at a disadvantage.
"Okay, but won't you tie up your hair? There are two of us now."
"Haha, it's not that I'm arrogant; if you want me to tie up my hair, you're not qualified enough; the two of you can already force me to use four layers of strength, which is already very impressive; " Chen Shao's hair was not tied up during the match just now, his sister prepared a headband for him thinking of this problem, but Chen Shao tied the headband around his pant leg; in his opinion, no one in the tennis world can make him tie up his hair, even Federer and Nadal are not good enough; unless two people work together, it's possible to force Chen Shao to do so; but it's only possible;
The fans outside the venue were already screaming when they heard their idol say something so domineering.
"What is domineering? Young master, this is domineering!" This is the true portrayal of what Tiankong and others have in their hearts.
"Hey, look! Xiao Xiao is showing off again!" Yun'er said with a smile, hugging Xiao Xian.
"Oppa is like that, Eonni, there's nothing to be surprised about." Little Xian was also very leisurely talking to Yun'er, without any worried emotions at all.
The conversation between the two people was also heard by others nearby; anyone who knew Chen Shao would know that Xu Zhuoxian was Chen Shao's girlfriend.
"Madam, you don't seem worried about Young Master Xiao at all," a voice asked from the sky near Xiaoxian.
In the sky, everyone also likes Chen Shao's girlfriend. Everyone calls Chen Shao "Young Master", so of course they call Xiaoxian "Young Madam". Because of this, Yun'er has been jealous many times.
"Haha, oppa's strength is not just this much, those two from the tennis club are completely not worth watching; with oppa's strength five years ago, he could have beaten one of them in a singles match; and it would have been a crushing victory; let alone now that oppa has also mastered all the techniques from "Prince of Tennis"; this gap is not just a little bit; even if compared to the world's top tennis stars, oppa wouldn't lose in a singles match, only someone like the two now could possibly win against oppa, listen clearly, it's still just possible though."
As his girlfriend, she naturally understood Chen Shao, previously unaware, but after seeing Chen Shao use these ultimate techniques, Xiao Xian had already thought that Chen Shao's tennis skills were incredibly strong now, even to the point of being unbeatable; completely capable of dominating the entire tennis world; when Xiao Xian said this to Tian Kong, her body emitted an aura that was impossible to deny; it was an aura of pride, proud to have such a boyfriend.
"So why did the young master come back to China to become an artist? Being a sports star is better than being an artist, right?" In Korea, the status of sports stars is higher than that of artists, which is widely recognized.
"Hehe, just because I" Only these few words were spoken, Xiao Xian turned his head and exchanged a smile with Yun'er before falling silent; in their hearts, they simultaneously added another person, as to who it was, everyone understood.
"It was because of me" these four words struck the heart of that heavenly king; "It seems that young master really likes young madam, he gave up being a world-class superstar to come back and protect her"; from now on, I must also protect her for young master.
