Finally, Ryoma Echizen turned his gaze to Takahiro Kabaji across the field, his pupils trembling as he muttered, "How can such a monster exist in this world..."
There was a fear in Echizen Ryoma's words that even he himself was unaware of.
In the recent match, Ryoma Echizen was completely outmatched by Takahiro Kabaji.
Even if Echizen Ryoma used the state of no self, it was to no avail.
The reason for this is not only because Kabaji Takahiro's strength far surpasses that of Echizen Ryoma, but also because Kabaji Takahiro possesses a super talent for copying. He can perfectly replicate any ball technique he has seen just once.
Under such circumstances, even if Ryoma Echizen unleashed the almost unsolvable Zero Style Chop and Swallow Return through the state of Muga, it would still be countered by Takahiro Kabaji's Tezuka Domain.
Kabaji Takahiro went to Tezuka's domain because he had seen Chen Anxia use it before.
This is what makes Takahiro Kabaji so terrifying; he can even copy Tezuka's superb tennis skills with just a glance.
Youth camp.
At this moment, everyone's expression was very solemn, even Chen Anxia was no exception.
None of them expected that Ryoma Echizen, who was evenly matched with Fuji Syusuke in the recent school selection competition, would be so thoroughly suppressed, and wouldn't even get a single point from Kabaji Takahiro.
At the same time, the terrifying talent displayed by Kabaji Takahiro also made them feel terrified.
In their view, Kabaji Takahiro's talent for copying was unmatched, even by Chen Anxia, Seigaku's best at copying other people's skills.
Chen Anxia also acknowledged this point.
After all, Chen Anxia replicates others' special moves by building data models, which requires a certain amount of data and time.
Kabaji Takahiro, on the other hand, relies on his own talent and can copy other people's skills at a glance, so there is no comparison between the two.
Chen Anxia never imagined that such a terrifying talent existed in this world.
In Chen Anxia's view, the existence of such talent was simply cheating.
Of course, Chen Anxia wouldn't let such an almost cheating talent go to waste.
As early as when he realized Kabaji Takahiro's talent, Chen Anxia had already constructed a data model of Kabaji Takahiro's behavioral patterns in his mind.
However, because he was not personally involved, he was unable to collect comprehensive data on Takahiro Kabaji, resulting in the data model only achieving a 23% completion rate.
Upon realizing this, Chen Anxia thought to himself, 'It seems I need to find an opportunity to fight him. Only in this way can I bring out his talent...'
Just as Chen Anxia was pondering to himself, the people from Seigaku around him couldn't help but start discussing Kabaji Takahiro.
Amidst the discussion, Fuji Syusuke slowly spoke up, "Although I hate to admit it, I don't know how to win against him."
"To me, he was simply flawless, without any weaknesses."
Those around them were stunned, their faces showing shock and disbelief, as they were all taken aback by Fuji Syusuke's words.
Ignoring the reactions of those around him, Fuji Syusuke turned his gaze to Chen Anxia, the current acting captain of Seigaku.
That's right, Chen Anxia is now the acting captain of Seigaku. As for the former captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu, he has already gone to a well-known rehabilitation center overseas to treat his left hand in preparation for the final national tournament.
After looking at Chen Anxia, Fuji Syusuke asked, "Anxia, what do you think of Kabaji Takahiro of Hyotei?"
After hearing Fuji Syusuke's question, the people around couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia with curiosity.
Clearly, they also wanted to know how Chen Anxia, the undisputed strongest player at Seigaku and one of the giants of junior high school tennis in Japan, would view Kabaji Takahiro.
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Anxia spoke up, "Kabaji Takahiro's talent is beyond doubt; even in the world, he is among the best."
"His strength is truly national-level, and his future is even more immeasurable."
"However, in my eyes, there are still flaws in him."
The words spoken by Chen Anxia carried immense weight.
Therefore, everyone was deeply moved when they heard that Chen Anxia had given Kabaji Takahiro such a high evaluation.
At the same time, they did not expect that Kabaji Takahiro, who was number 3 in singles, also possessed national-level strength.
Does this mean that Hyotei's second singles player also possesses national-level strength?
The moment this thought crossed their minds, they felt incredibly depressed.
The situation in the match between Ryoma Echizen and Takahiro Kabaji is already quite clear. No matter how much they believe in Ryoma Echizen, they have to consider the fact that Ryoma Echizen will lose.
If Ryoma Echizen is defeated, will Shusuke Fuji, Seigaku's No. 2 singles player, be able to defeat Hyotei's No. 2 singles player, who has national-level strength?
If not, then Seigaku will be eliminated at the Kanto Tournament.
By then, they really didn't know how to face Tezuka Kunimitsu, who had entrusted Seigaku to them.
Amidst everyone's heavy hearts, Ryoma Echizen unsurprisingly lost the match.
After losing the match, Ryoma Echizen pressed his baseball cap down hard to cover his face, not wanting anyone to see his expression.
Then, Ryoma Echizen slowly walked off the field.
Meanwhile, Fuji Syusuke, number 2 in singles, slowly walked onto the court with his racket in hand.
In the instant the two passed each other, Fuji Syusuke heard Echizen Ryoma's voice, filled with resentment and a hint of tears, saying, "Fuji-senpai, please, you must win, you must let Seigaku continue."
Fuji Syusuke paused for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, his gaze filled with seriousness, and said gently, "Ah, leave it to me. I will definitely ensure that Seigaku continues on its path!"

Chapter 337 The Name of Genius, the Finals Are Here! (Please Subscribe!)
Hyotei's No. 2 singles player is Jiro Akutagawa, who is recognized by Hyotei as the second strongest player after Keigo Atobe.
This means that Jiro Akutagawa's true strength surpasses that of Takahiro Kabaji.
Chen Anxia, who had once competed against Jiro Akutagawa, was also very clear about Akutagawa's strength.
In Chen Anxia's view, Jiro Akutagawa's athletic ability was comparable to that of Jin Akutsu.
Of course, in terms of athletic ability, other physical talents, such as flexibility, destructive power, and balance, are not as good as Akutsu Jin's.
But it was this exceptional athletic ability that enabled Jiro Akutagawa to easily return balls from all sorts of tricky angles with incredible movements.
Besides the initial impression, what impressed Chen Anxia the most was Akutagawa Jiro's mentality.
Akutagawa Jiro had the best mentality of any person Chen Anxia had ever met. For Akutagawa Jiro, neither victory nor defeat was that important.
He was truly enjoying the process of the game.
This mindset was also a major reason for Jiro Akutagawa's great strength.
As for who is stronger between Fuji Syusuke and Akutagawa Jiro...
Besides what Chen Anxia knew, Akutagawa Jiro was also very famous for one thing: his love of sleeping.
Within the Hyotei Tennis Club, Jiro Akutagawa also had a very famous nickname: 'The Sleeping Emperor'.
This suggests that Jiro Akutagawa loved to sleep.
It can be said that Jiro Akutagawa truly achieved the feeling of being in a dream even after waking up.
However, when Jiro Akutagawa truly finds it amusing, he becomes truly sober, and what brings him joy is when he encounters a truly formidable enemy.
The members of Hyotei all knew very well how terrifying Jiro Akutagawa would be if he were truly lucid.
It's no exaggeration to say that even Atobe Keigo would be afraid of a truly lucid Akutagawa Jiro.
At this moment, Jiro Akutagawa in the arena was fully conscious.
The reason why Jiro Akutagawa was fully conscious was because he heard that his opponent in this competition was Syusuke Fuji.
Jiro Akutagawa had a deep impression of Fuji Syusuke, with whom he had once fought.
Although Fuji Syusuke won last time, Akutagawa Jiro did not use his full strength that time.
This time, Jiro Akutagawa intends to use all his strength to defeat 'Shusuke Fuji'.
However, when Akutagawa Jiro, who was fully awake and whose face showed joy and excitement at encountering a powerful enemy, looked at Fuji Syusuke, he froze on the spot.
Then, amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, Jiro Akutagawa looked at Syusuke Fuji and asked, "Who are you? Where is Syusuke Fuji? Wasn't my opponent in this match Syusuke Fuji?"
Fuji Syusuke was taken aback by what he heard, a look of confusion and bewilderment flashing across his face, completely not understanding what Akutagawa Jiro meant by those words.
Not only Fuji Syusuke, but also everyone else present, except for Atobe Keigo and Kabaji Takahiro, did not understand what Akutagawa Jiro meant by his words.
Even though Fuji Syusuke was right in front of him, why did he still ask who Fuji Syusuke was? It's strange and completely incomprehensible.
Seeing this, Keigo Atobe's lips twitched slightly, and his forehead was covered in black lines.
Atobe Keigo knew that the reason why Akutagawa Jiro spoke so vaguely was because he had told him that the person he had competed against last time was Fuji Syusuke.
After that, Atobe Keigo forgot to explain to Akutagawa Jiro.
This led to Jiro Akutagawa believing that the person he had fought against last time was Syusuke Fuji, which resulted in this farce.
Since he had caused this whole farce, Atobe Keigo didn't hesitate. He walked straight onto the court, went to Akutagawa Jiro's side, and whispered an explanation in Akutagawa Jiro's ear.
Upon hearing Atobe Keigo's explanation, Akutagawa Jiro immediately understood the misunderstanding and realized that the person in front of him was Fuji Syusuke himself.
As for the opponent he faced last time, it wasn't Fuji Syusuke, but Chen Anxia.
Immediately, Jiro Akutagawa turned his gaze to the Seigaku camp and, sure enough, saw Chen Anxia standing tall among them.
Immediately afterwards, Jiro Akutagawa asked Syusuke Fuji, "Can the opponent in this match be changed?"
With that, Jiro Akutagawa pointed directly at Chen Anxia and continued, "I want to compete against him!"
Atobe Keigo, who had just stepped off the court, twitched at the corner of his mouth again upon seeing this.
Before Fuji Syusuke and the referee could react, Atobe Keigo spoke in a powerful voice, leaving no room for doubt, "Jiro, your opponent in this match is Fuji Syusuke."
"Play your game well. If you lose, you'll have to join the tennis club's daily training when you get back!"
Upon hearing Atobe Keigo's words, Akutagawa Jiro knew there was no turning back. He instantly became listless, drifting into a half-asleep state, yawning as he nonchalantly said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll do my best in the match..."
Upon seeing this, Atobe Keigo frowned slightly but said nothing more.
Meanwhile, although Fuji Syusuke didn't understand what had happened, he guessed that Akutagawa Jiro had probably mistaken Chen Anxia for himself.
Seeing the change in Akutagawa Jiro's demeanor, Fuji Syusuke couldn't help but smile slightly, muttering to himself, "Looks like I've been underestimated..."
Geniuses are often arrogant, and Fuji Syusuke was no exception.
However, the composed Fuji Syusuke did not reveal this arrogance, but instead chose to show his arrogance through facts.
The game has begun.
