HCB Chapter 661: A hasty ending, with its own unique characteristics
Chapter 661: A hasty ending, with its own unique characteristics
Beichuan had heard of the name Samuel Raymond before the game.
Samuel Raymond is an Australian player with a unique tennis style, following the kendo tennis route.
However, Kitagawa learned that this player paid more attention to his condition-based skills.
In other words, this type of player usually prioritizes endurance in competitions, looking for opportunities to win through persistent confrontations.
But the current situation surprised Beichuan. Samuel Raymond started to play with full force from the beginning of the official confrontation, constantly displaying various exquisite skills, and completely ignoring the usual rhythm.
Beichuan thought to himself that this was not a good choice to prolong the game. Such a high-intensity attack would consume a huge amount of physical strength, and he would most likely get into trouble later.
Just when Beichuan had this thought.
The tennis ball hit by Samuel Raymond suddenly appeared not far from him like a flying meteor.
next moment.
A powerful aura slowly emanated from Beichuan's body. This aura was as hot as the midday sun, and compared to the aura he had emitted before, it was even more powerful and domineering.
The aura seemed to contain endless power, as if it was going to flatten all obstacles and carve out a path to becoming a king. A feeling of majesty, holiness, and dominance came over him.
As this aura continued to spread, Beichuan seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious light.
In this light, a road to heaven appears faintly, and the wails and sighs of countless losers can be heard faintly, as if telling the difficulty and glory of this road.
At the end of the road to heaven, a figure wearing white armor, a golden mask, and long red hair fluttering in the wind stood there.
The figure's dark red cloak fluttered in the wind, and the red-gold inscriptions outlined on the armor added a bit of mystery and majesty.
A huge long sword emitting a purple, dark glow was placed quietly behind his back, as if waiting for his master's call.
"Tianba!"
Beichuan murmured softly, without any emotion in his voice, but it seemed to contain the laws between heaven and earth. At this moment, it was like the will of the overlord of heaven, the true king, was issuing to the mortal spirit.
As soon as the words fell, the long sword that looked like the blade of the underworld was instantly grasped in the hands of the figure.
As Beichuan swung the racket in his hand, the long sword also chopped out fiercely.
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar erupted above the court, as if the power of heaven and earth were gathering here.
In the endless light of swords and knives, Beichuan swung his racket and hit the ball. The momentum was like the descent from heaven, extremely domineering.
However, in response to Kitagawa's powerful counterattack, Samuel Raymond did not make any move to receive the ball. He just stood there with a smile on his face, quietly looking at Kitagawa across the net.
"boom!!!"
Another roar sounded, and the tennis ball fell heavily on the ground. The powerful impact force caused the tennis ball to be completely embedded in the ground.
Dust flew up like water waves, turning into ripples that spread in all directions.
Amidst the flying dust, Samuel Raymond slowly spoke.
"Xiao Beichuan, you are very good!"
"The foundation is extremely solid, and the skills, physical strength, talent, and natural ability can be said to be unparalleled."
"But your tennis has no unique characteristics that belong to you."
"This time, I won't compete with you for the championship."
"But next time we meet, I won't let you off even a little bit."
As he finished speaking, Samuel Raymond turned and walked off the court, waving to Kitagawa with his back to him, as if saying his final goodbye.
For a moment, the whole audience fell into a brief silence, followed by bursts of uproar.
Beichuan on the court smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Although the game did not go to the end, it brought considerable gains to Beichuan.
He cast a deep glance in the direction Samuel Raymond had left, muttering to himself, "Is this a unique characteristic of mine?"
Then, at the referee's whistle, Beichuan no longer lingered and slowly walked off the court.
The final was a surprise to the audience.
In front of Kitagawa, Byodoin Phoenix completely lost the ability to resist, just like a rookie entering the arena, and became the target of Kitagawa's "bloody abuse".
However, Kitagawa still showed mercy and did not beat Byodoin Phoenix into a state of suspended animation.
After all, the Neon U-17 team's game is about to begin. If Byodoin Phoenix is absent at this time, it is hard to say whether the Neon team will be directly blocked from the U-17 World Cup finals.
Just like that, the Sydney Cup Professional Challenge, a world-class event, ended abruptly after several days, starting strong but ending weak.
At this moment, the award ceremony is taking place at the Sydney Cup Stadium.
When the host announced: "This year's Sydney Cup Professional Challenge will be against the champion, player Beichuan, please invite player Beichuan to the stage to receive the award."
Everyone's attention was focused on Beichuan.
Beichuan walked towards the podium with a gentle smile on his face and steady steps.
His eyes were like stars, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry. He looked like a god who had descended from heaven to earth, radiant with light.
This is the first time in his tennis career that he has won a world-class tournament, which is of great significance.
Facing the bright sunshine, Beichuan held the trophy high in his hand.
In an instant, screams, shouts and cheers in the Sydney Stadium intertwined and resounded through the sky.
In the audience, the Swiss U-17 team looked at Beichuan on the podium with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Captain Beichuan is so amazing!"
One team member said excitedly.
"Although this was expected, I was still shocked when I saw it with my own eyes."
Another person continued.
"Master-level, that's not the cheap stuff you find on the street."
"I even suspect that Captain Kitagawa can aim for the four major open tournaments."
"The Four Open Championships are probably still a bit far off. After all, those tournaments have certain age requirements, and above the Masters level there's the Grandmaster level. But Captain Beichuan is too young after all."
The team members discussed with each other.
In fact, in their opinion, a rookie competition like the Sydney Cup Professional Challenge is completely incompatible with Beichuan's strength.
Compared with international events such as the Four Opens, the Sydney Cup Professional Challenge is of a much lower level.
If the Sydney Cup Professional Challenge was not special, coupled with relatively generous rewards and 200 points in the ATP rankings, there probably wouldn't be so many veteran professional players participating in this competition.
