Although Akutsu Jin's serve was very fast, in Chen Anxia's eyes it was as if it were in slow motion, flashing by frame by frame.
Therefore, Chen Anxia knew that Akutsu Jin's bullet serve was aimed at his body, intending to injure him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia shifted two halves to the left, and in the process, he used his right hand to hit back the bullet serve that had a speed exceeding 200 km/h.
Just as the bullet was being served back, Akutsu Jin moved, appearing at the landing point almost instantly.
Everyone who noticed Akutsu Jin's movement was deeply moved at that moment.
Because Akutsu Jin's speed was so fast, almost like a teleportation effect.
Among them, Eishiro Kite from Higa Junior High School in Okinawa, after seeing Jin Akutsu's almost teleportation, couldn't help but become serious.
Eishiro Kito is a true national-level powerhouse, known as the 'Assassin' in the junior high school tennis world of Japan.
The reason why Eishiro Kite is called an assassin is largely because he knows a special footwork technique from Okinawan martial arts called Shrinking Ground Technique.
Tennis courts are limited in size and cannot be compared to football fields or even basketball courts.
However, for Eishiro Kito, this tennis court of limited size was simply a holy land for the art of shrinking the space.
The reason for this is that once Eishiro Kito uses the Shrinking Technique on the tennis court, it creates an effect similar to teleportation.
This is why Eishiro Kite is known as an 'assassin'.
Akutsu Jin's almost shrinking movement has a visual effect somewhat similar to Kite Eishiro's shrinking technique.
However, Eishiro Kite was well aware that Akutsu Jin was not using the Shrinking Earth Technique, but rather because of Akutsu Jin's own terrifying physical talent.
In that brief instant, Akutsu Jin's feet unleashed a terrifying power.
This terrifying strength, combined with Akutsu Jin's long legs and flexibility, allowed him to traverse a distance of nearly 5 meters in a short instant.
It's worth noting that the effective width of a tennis court for singles is only 8.23 meters. This instantaneous crossing of nearly 5 meters gives the visual impression of teleporting within the court.
Thinking about it, Eishiro Kite couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly monstrous physical talent..."
Imagine that Akutsu Jin, without having learned the Okinawan ancient martial art of shrinking the ground, was already able to achieve this almost earth-shrinking effect.
What if Jin Akutsu were to learn the Shrinking Ground Technique, a traditional Okinawan martial art? What kind of effect would that have?
As for whether I can learn it...
According to Eishiro Kite, who is well-versed in Okinawan martial arts, given the physical talent that Jin Akutsu has shown, he would be a first-rate martial arts prodigy if he devoted himself to martial arts.
Even Eishiro Kidate had to admit that he felt envious and jealous of such physical talent.
In the arena, Chen Anxia also witnessed Akutsu Jin's almost teleportation-like movement.
Unlike others, Chen Anxia clearly saw Akutsu Jin's 'shrinking earth' technique.
Through supercomputing capabilities, Chen Anxia also learned the principle behind Akutsu Jin's "shrinking the earth".
Actually, the first person to demonstrate 'shrinking the earth' to Chen Anxia was not Akutsu Jin, but Sanada Genichiro.
Indeed, Jin Akutsu's "shrinking the earth" technique is based on the same principle as Genichiro Sanada's lightning-fast movement.
But this does not mean that Jin Akutsu will be able to unleash Genichiro Sanada's lightning-fast movements.
It's important to know that besides its almost teleportation-like movement, the most crucial element of the "Thunderbolt" technique is its unpredictable and unbearable return shot, which is like a thunderclap.
The reason why Genichiro Sanada was able to make such a return was because he incorporated his national-level kendo skills into tennis.
Unless Akutsu Jin can reach the state of selflessness and witness Sanada Genichiro unleash Thunderclap, he will not be able to unleash Thunderclap.
On the court, Jin Akutsu, who had arrived at the landing point in advance, was already in a hitting position. Just as the tennis ball was about to hit the ground, he held the racket with one hand and fiercely attacked.
In that instant, all of Akutsu Jin's actions were transformed into data, clearly appearing in Chen Anxia's mind, and were calculated using supercomputing capabilities.
In just a moment, Chen Anxia judged the trajectory and landing point of Akutsu Jin's return shot.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia ran directly towards the predicted landing point of the ball.
Just as Chen Anxia set off, Akutsu Jin suddenly revealed a strange smile on his face, and the hand holding the racket twisted into a peculiar posture in that instant.
Because of this peculiar posture, Jin Akutsu changed the intended trajectory and landing point of his return shot during the swing of his racket.
Akutsu Jin accomplished something that ordinary people simply couldn't do, relying solely on his extraordinary flexibility.
Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of the national-level powerhouses such as Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Kite Eishiro, and Yanagi Renji, who were watching the match from the sidelines, changed, and even a look of disbelief appeared in their eyes.
next moment...
boom!
"30-15!"

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
......
After being transformed into a demon, Akutsu Jin's strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he gradually began to overpower Chen Anxia.
Against Akutsu Jin, who possesses near-shrinking teleportation abilities, many of Chen Anxia's special moves became ineffective.
For example, the zero-style slice and the swallow return flash.
The reason why the Zero-Style Chop and the Swallow Return Flash are difficult to return is that one does not bounce after landing, and the other travels close to the ground.
However, as long as you return the ball before it hits the ground, the Zero-Style Slice and Swallow Return are just ordinary return shots.
Of course, Chen Anxia chose to execute the Zero-Style Chop and Swallow Return Flash when Akutsu Jin was far from the midfield and hit the net.
However, each time, Akutsu Jin would instantly teleport to the net and hit the ball back.
Youth camp.
Horio Satoshi looked at Chen Anxia, who seemed to be struggling to cope with Akutsu Jin's fierce attacks, and a look of disbelief flashed across his face. He muttered to himself, "Anxia is actually being suppressed?"
Katsuro Kato and Katsuo Mizuno, who were standing nearby, also wore the same expressions, muttering, "How could this be? How could Anxia be suppressed?"
"This Akutsu Jin is completely different from the last one..."
Meanwhile, the regular members of Seigaku watched the field with serious expressions.
However, they did not really believe that Chen Anxia was being suppressed by Akutsu Jin.
So far, Chen Anxia has not yet used many of his trump cards.
Examples include Tezuka Domain and the distant Utopia.
This also means that Chen Anxia has not yet used his full strength.
They just didn't know why Chen Anxia wasn't using his true strength yet, or why he hadn't reversed the situation.
Is it because they are still collecting data on Jin Akutsu?
On the other side, Eishiro Kite frowned as he looked at Chen Anxia, who was being suppressed in the arena, and muttered to himself, "Although he stepped into the national level with the help of demonic power, he is only a pseudo-national level."
"How could someone like you, who could defeat Atobe Keigo, be suppressed by a pseudo-national-level player?"
"Is this all the strength you've got, or are you still hiding something?"
"If you are still hiding something, then what is the purpose of your hiding it?"
As he spoke, Eishiro Kidate reached out and gently pushed up the glasses on Chen Anxia's nose, murmuring, "Chen Anxia, I hope you won't make me come all this way for nothing..."
At this moment, Shiraishi Kuranosuke also crossed his arms and silently watched Chen Anxia, who was being suppressed in the arena.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi knew very well that if Chen Anxia's strength was only this much, it would be impossible for Kintaro Toyama to feel fear.
The only possible reason for this situation is that Chen Anxia has not yet used his true strength.
'But why hasn't Chen Anxia used his true strength yet?'
This question quietly surfaced in Shiraishi Kuranosuke's mind, leaving him completely baffled.
Renji Yanagi, who excels in data-driven tennis, is also pondering similar questions.
Liu Lianji knew very well that with the strength Chen Anxia had shown so far, it was impossible for him to defeat Sanada Genichiro.
Therefore, Liu Lian'er also knew that Chen Anxia in front of him had not used his true strength at all.
Liu Lian'er was also puzzled, not understanding why Chen Anxia was not using his true strength.
While Liu Lian'er pondered and was puzzled, his gaze remained fixed on Chen Anxia, attempting to extract more useful information from her.
Suddenly, Yanagi Renji seemed to notice something, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "His flexibility and balance seem to have improved..."
"It's as if his body is constantly evolving during the competition..."
As she spoke, under Liu Lian'er's gaze, Chen Anxia's eyes and skin gradually turned red, but the redness quickly disappeared, and it was hard to notice unless you looked closely.
Liu Lianji was absolutely certain that what he had seen was real, and therefore his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, revealing shock and disbelief. He murmured, "Was he about to enter a demonic state just now?"
That's right. Just now, Chen Anxia learned the principle behind Akutsu Jin's demonization through the construction of the data model and the calculation and analysis of the supercomputing capability.
The principle behind this is to stimulate the heart and kidneys by increasing the speed of blood flow in the body, thereby unleashing the body's potential.
The increased blood flow caused Akutsu Jin's skin and the whites of his eyes to gradually turn red.
However, there are gains and losses; everything in the world follows the truth of equivalent exchange.
While demonization can unleash the body's potential, it also places a tremendous burden on the body, heart, and kidneys.
These burdens can become hidden dangers, and if they are not properly addressed afterwards, they can gradually develop into chronic ailments.
If the demon is used repeatedly without any treatment, the hidden ailments caused by these hidden dangers will continue to accumulate until they finally erupt.
Even if you're lucky and these hidden ailments don't accumulate to a certain extent and don't completely erupt, once your body is not as strong as it was in middle or old age, these accumulated ailments will gradually appear, leaving your body riddled with problems.
However, not everyone possesses the ability to become demonic.
The ability to become demonic is actually a physical talent.
This talent is specifically manifested in the ability to use one's emotions to drive the flow of blood in the body.
This is somewhat similar to how Saiyans use anger to transform themselves into Super Saiyans.
