Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Meanwhile, Echizen Nanjiro, who had been sitting in the yard reading adult magazines, noticed that someone had returned.

However, Echizen Nanjiro did not look up, because in Echizen Nanjiro's mind, the only one who would be home at this time was Echizen Ryoma.

Ryoma Echizen naturally saw Nanjiro Echizen not far away.

Without the slightest hesitation, Echizen Ryoma shouted at Echizen Nanjiro, "You old bastard, someone's here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Echizen Nanjiro paused for a moment, subconsciously turning his gaze away from the adult magazine and looking towards where Echizen Ryoma was.

Upon looking, Echizen Nanjiro spotted Chen Anxia.

A look of surprise flashed across his face; Echizen Nanjiro clearly hadn't expected Chen Anxia to come.

Chen Anxia naturally saw Echizen Nanjiro as well.

Just as Echizen Nanjiro looked over, Chen Anxia took the initiative to speak, "I want to continue the battle that we didn't finish last time."

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Ryoma Echizen couldn't help but show a look of "I didn't expect this" on his face.

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Echizen Nanjiro's face showed a hint of surprise.

Echizen Nanjiro believed that Chen Anxia should know that the reason he had voluntarily paused the match last time was because the gap in strength between the two sides was too large.

In other words, Echizen Nanjiro was taking care of Chen Anxia in order to prevent Chen Anxia's beliefs and will from being undermined.

Therefore, although Echizen Nanjiro suspended the match last time, it actually meant that the match ended in a draw.

Although Echizen Nanjiro had considered that he would face Chen Anxia again in the future, he never expected it to happen so soon.

Echizen Nanjiro couldn't understand why Chen Anxia had approached him so quickly. Was it because Chen Anxia lacked an accurate understanding of his own strength? Or was Chen Anxia confident in his abilities?

Could it be that Chen Anxia didn't use his full strength in the last match?

A variety of thoughts flashed through his mind, making Echizen Nanjiro's feelings somewhat complicated.

However, Echizen Nanjiro did not immediately agree to Chen Anxia's request, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

"You old rascal, what are you hesitating about?"

Ryoma Echizen's sudden words startled Nanjiro Echizen, leading him to make a decision.

Echizen Nanjiro's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at Chen Anxia and replied, "Since you've made such a request, then let's continue the battle we didn't finish last time."

As he spoke, Echizen Nanjiro turned his gaze to Echizen Ryoma and said, "Ryoma, you will be our referee."

"My match against him had already entered the fifth game. The overall score was 0-4, he was 0 and I was 4, and the close score was 15-0, which was his service game."

Ryoma Echizen remembered this information, nodded slightly to Nanjiro Echizen, and then walked towards the stadium.

Just as Echizen Ryoma turned around, he heard Echizen Nanjiro's serious voice say, "Ryoma, you need to watch this match carefully."

"This match will overturn your understanding of junior high school tennis."

"Remember, no matter what, you must maintain your beliefs and will."

Upon hearing this, Echizen Ryoma's body trembled violently, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Seemingly understanding something, Echizen Ryoma nodded slightly and continued walking forward without looking back.

Chen Anxia and Echizen Nanjiro followed behind Echizen Ryoma, heading towards the tennis court in the yard.

At this moment, an uncontrollable fighting spirit had ignited in Chen Anxia's heart.

Chen Anxia was eager to know what kind of power he could unleash by combining Kajimoto Takahisa's muscle control and state of complete concentration with Atobe Keigo's insightful vision.

On the field, Chen Anxia and Echizen Nanjiro stood on opposite sides of the field.

At this moment, Chen Anxia was preparing to serve, hitting a tennis ball.

Chen Anxia had no idea just how strong Echizen Nanjiro was.

However, Chen Anxia knew that Echizen Nanjiro was an opponent he could not defeat even with his full strength.

That was enough for Chen Anxia.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Anxia has masochistic tendencies or enjoys challenging invincible opponents.

Rather, it was because the match against Echizen Nanjiro would allow Chen Anxia to give it his all and better test his current abilities.

Although the previous match against Keigo Atobe made Chen Anxia realize that his strength was at least at the national level, Chen Anxia still did not know what level his strength would reach when he went all out.

Under Echizen Ryoma's watchful gaze, Chen Anxia took a deep breath and then grabbed the bouncing tennis ball.

At that very moment, Ryoma Echizen wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Chen Anxia seemed to have changed in some way.

Not only Ryoma Echizen, but also Nanjiro Echizen on the field noticed Chen Anxia's change.

Unlike Echizen Ryoma, Echizen Nanjiro knew what the change was the moment he noticed Chen Anxia's change.

A look of surprise flashed across his face, and Echizen Nanjiro muttered to himself, "Complete concentration... I didn't expect him to have this kind of talent..."

Throughout his career, Echizen Nanjiro had encountered opponents who could enter a state of complete concentration, and he knew how this state enhanced his own strength.

After that match, Echizen Nanjiro also tried to see if he could enter a state of complete concentration.

The result was obvious: Echizen Nanjiro did not possess the talent to enter a state of complete concentration.

However, although Echizen Nanjiro did not succeed in entering a state of complete concentration, he did create the state of no-self.

In fact, the state of complete concentration is somewhat similar to the state of selflessness, both requiring complete focus.

The only difference is that a state of complete concentration requires one to concentrate one's attention completely, while a state of selflessness does not require concentration; one can simply rely on bodily instincts and experience to unconsciously launch a counterattack.

As for which of the two is stronger, Echizen Nanjiro, who could not enter a state of complete concentration, could not truly make a comparison.

However, based on Echizen Nanjiro's own tennis background and experience, he came to the conclusion that the state of selflessness, which has not opened the three deep doors of the Mugado (the hall of selflessness), cannot compare to the state of complete concentration.

Because of the state of complete concentration, the enhancement to one's dynamic vision, insight, physical reaction speed, and so on is extremely terrifying.

Those who are already gifted in dynamic vision, insight, physical reaction speed, and so on will find their already terrifying talents become even more terrifying when they enter a state of complete concentration.

This was the kind of opponent Echizen Nanjiro faced back then, who even put him in a difficult and arduous battle and adversity at one point.

Echizen Nanjiro knew very well that if his opponent hadn't been so mentally exhausted in that match, the outcome would have been very different.

That's right. Just as the state of selflessness consumes far more physical energy than normal, the state of complete concentration also consumes far more mental energy than normal.

Before Echizen Nanjiro could think further, Chen Anxia had already tossed the tennis ball high into the air.

The next moment, Ryoma Echizen, who was acting as the referee on the sidelines, heard a heavy sound of a racket hitting a tennis ball.

Before Ryoma Echizen could react, another unusually heavy thud of a tennis ball hitting the ground rang out.

This caused Ryoma Echizen's pupils to shrink sharply.

Ryoma Echizen knew that this fact meant he was completely unable to react to Chen Anxia's serve.

Ryoma Echizen was well aware that if he were facing Chen Anxia on the court, he would absolutely not be able to receive Chen Anxia's serve.

This fact shook Echizen Ryoma to his core, and he couldn't help but recall the incredibly fast serve Chen Qi had witnessed that day.

Seemingly considering a possibility, Ryoma Echizen muttered to himself, "Could it be that Anzai's serve has already..."

Before Ryoma Echizen could think further, Nanjiro Echizen had already returned Chen Anxia's super-fast bullet serve.

At this moment, Echizen Nanjiro was no longer the carefree person he once was; a serious expression even appeared on his face.

Clearly, Chen Anxia's bullet serve, which was once again surpassed his previous performance when he was fully focused and reached a speed of nearly 220 km/h, was enough to make Echizen Nanjiro feel threatened.

Although it was only a faint sense of threat, it was enough to make Echizen Nanjiro take it seriously.

It's important to know that the one who made Echizen Nanjiro feel threatened was just a first-year junior high school student.

Meanwhile, in Chen Anxia's mind, a behavioral data model of Echizen Nanjiro had already appeared and was working rapidly.

With this rapidly operating data model, Chen Anxia had already foreseen Echizen Nanjiro's shot.

Therefore, Chen Anxia made no move in the face of Echizen Nanjiro's return shot, simply standing silently in his own territory, exuding an aura that made Echizen Ryoma feel unpredictable.

The next moment, Echizen Ryoma seemed to see something, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes filled with shock, and he murmured, "The distant... ideal land..."

boom!

The moment Ryoma Echizen finished speaking, a heavy thud sounded as a tennis ball hit the ground.

Seeing this, Ryoma Echizen took a deep breath and loudly announced, "30-0!"

On the court, Echizen Nanjiro watched the ball with a serious expression, muttering to himself, "Did they predict from the beginning that I would hit a return shot with spin?"

"But how were you able to predict that? Was it because you already had some of my data from previous matches, or...?"

Thinking this, Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia, ​​muttering to himself again, "You've gotten stronger again, even stronger than last time. This rapid progress..."

"Did you hold back a little last time, or did you make this progress in such a short time...?"

I really hope it's the former...

"If it's the latter, that would be truly terrifying..."

Chen Anxia had no idea what Echizen Nanjiro was thinking.

Of course, Chen Anxia, ​​who was now in a state of complete concentration, would not pay attention to what Echizen Nanjiro was thinking.

After scoring, Chen Anxia prepared to serve again and started hitting the tennis ball once more.

The next moment, after Echizen Nanjiro was ready, Chen Anxia served.

This time, however, Chen Anxia didn't hit a bullet serve that approached 220 km/h; instead, he hit...

"Zero-style... serve!?"

......

That's right, Chen Anxia's serve this time was a zero serve.

Although Echizen Ryoma had heard Echizen Nanjiro mention it before, he was still shocked when he actually saw it. He felt a current run through his body and got goosebumps all over.

In Echizen Ryoma's view, the zero serve is truly unsolvable, even more unsolvable than the distant ideal world.
