A realistic recreation of anime, and you call this tennis?

All Sun Jialiang could do was keep losing points.

"Zhou Ran scored, the score is 1:0!"

...

"Zhou Ran scored, the score is 2:0!"

...

“比分3:0...4:0...5:0...6:0！”

"Zhou Ran won the entire match!"

In this way, despite Sun Jialiang's continuous loss of points, Zhou Ran successfully won the game and advanced to the second round.

The audience at the scene were shocked beyond words by the effect of Zhou Ran's special move.

Then when they saw that Sun Jialiang couldn't hit the tennis ball back no matter how hard he tried, the audience's mood gradually changed from shock to depression.

The environment at the scene also gradually changed from noisy to extremely quiet again.

At first they were unwilling to admit that Sun Jialiang was not as good as Zhou Ran.

But when Zhou Ran did not allow Sun Jialiang to get any points and directly shut out Sun Jialiang.

No matter how much Sun Jialiang's fans like and support him, they can only admit it.

Sun Jialiang is indeed not as good as Zhou Ran.

Chapter 18: Breaking Defense! I want to watch the game!

After Zhou Ran defeated Sun Jialiang, Sun Jialiang's fans accepted the fact that Sun Jialiang was not as good as Zhou Ran.

Similarly, Sun Jialiang also admitted that he was indeed not as skilled as others.

After the game, he took the initiative to come to Zhou Ran.

"Zhou Ran, congratulations, you won. I really can't beat you."

"But may I ask how you used that trick to prevent the tennis ball from bouncing?"

Strength is respected on the tennis court. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

After Sun Jialiang lost the game and calmed down, his strong curiosity prompted him to want to know the principle and usage of Zhou Ran's Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest trick.

If possible, he also wanted Zhou Ran to teach him this trick.

"You are also very strong. My special move just now is called Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest."

"But you only need to know the name. As for the principle behind the move, there's no need to delve into it. Even if you knew it, you wouldn't be able to use it."

Zhou Ran directly rejected Sun Jialiang's request.

He is not arrogant, nor is he cold; he is telling the truth.

He was able to use the Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest with the help of the system.

As an ordinary person, even if Sun Jialiang knew the principle, he would never be able to successfully use the Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest after practicing for 100 years.

Rather than letting Sun Jialiang know the principle of the secret move and then suffer in the pain of not being able to use it, it is better to directly discourage Sun Jialiang from doing so.

Sun Jialiang, who was originally looking forward to Zhou Ran's answer, suddenly frowned.

"Haha, alright, good luck in the next game."

Sun Jialiang knew that it was absolutely impossible for a contestant to easily tell others how to use his secret weapon.

He thought Zhou Ran would refuse, but he didn't expect Zhou Ran to refuse so straightforwardly.

Without paying any more attention to Sun Jialiang, Zhou Ran packed up his equipment and left the court.

The schedule is quite tight and his second round match will be held tomorrow morning.

Although the match with Sun Jialiang did not consume too much physical energy, he still had to return to the hotel as soon as possible to rest so that he could compete at 100% condition tomorrow.

After the audience in the venue gradually calmed down from their shock, they also chose to leave.

However, Zhao Qianguang and his friends, as well as Zhou Ran's parents, were excited for a long time after the game.

Although the high school tennis league is a formal competition, there is still a big gap compared to professional competitions.

There will be video broadcast only when entering the national competition.

During the city competition stage, no live broadcast room broadcast the game.

So even if Zhou Ran won the game, most of the people who knew the result were only the spectators who watched the game live.

The Qingyun County official tennis league competition exchange group where Zhao Qianguang was, and the family group where Zhou Ran's parents were, did not know that Zhou Ran had won the game.

But they soon found out.

Because Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Chengshan posted the results of the competition in the group as soon as possible.

Zhao Qianguang: "Hello everyone, our No. 2 Middle School player Zhou Ran has lived up to his mission and successfully advanced to the second round of this year's tennis league. Zhou Ran is also the only player from several high schools in Qingyun County to advance to the second round this year."

Zhou Chengshan: "Dear friends and family, I'm happy to tell you a piece of good news. Zhou Ran won and can continue to participate in the next round."

When Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Chengshan released the news, they were excited and their fingers were trembling as they typed.

For Zhao Qianguang, because the tennis level of No. 2 Middle School has always been not high, he has been ignored and excluded too much by Qingyun Experimental School, Qingyun No. 1 Middle School and the county education bureau staff in the past two years.

Now the only player in the entire Qingyun County who has advanced to the second round is from their No. 2 Middle School.

Just when everyone was pessimistic about their No. 2 Middle School, the only hope for Qingyun County tennis this year was the students of their No. 2 Middle School.

This immediately made Zhao Qianguang proud.

He wanted to see who would dare to say that No. 2 Middle School was just a background figure, and who would dare to look down on them again.

As for Zhou Chengshan, part of the reason why he was excited at this moment was that ever since his relatives knew that Zhou Ran wanted to become a professional tennis player, they had been mocking their family.

Now that Zhou Ran has won the first battle, this can at least shut up these relatives.

What made Zhou Chengshan even more excited was another reason, which was that he was really happy for Zhou Ran.

There is nothing more exciting and thrilling as a parent than seeing your child succeed in something they love.

After Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Chengshan announced Zhou Ran's successful advancement in the group, they no longer looked at the reactions of the other group members and rushed to Zhou Ran who was about to go to the hotel.

"Zhou Ran, well done!"

Zhao Qianguang and his companions could not find the right words to describe their feelings at this moment, and could only cast a look of determination and approval towards Zhou Ran.

Zhou Chengshan was so excited that he couldn't speak, but he forced himself to calm down and said to Zhou Ran, "Son, I'm just an ordinary guy. I don't know much about tennis, but I want to tell you that your mother and I will always support you!"

"Old lady, bring me food later. I have to go to the factory to work overtime now!"

What Zhou Chengshan said was true, he was just an ordinary person.

No matter how popular tennis is in the world, he has no talent and no family background, so he can only live the life of an ordinary person at the bottom of society.

Now that he sees his son has a talent for tennis, all he can do is cheer him on and make money.

He couldn't provide Zhou Ran with advice on how to improve his tennis skills, so he had to make more money and let people who understood tennis help Zhou Ran.

"Thank you!"

After hearing what Zhao Qianguang and his father Zhou Chengshan said, Zhou Ran was speechless.

Having traveled from another world, he didn't have much feelings for Zhao Qianguang and his parents.

But seeing these people support him so much, even though he has lived two lives as a human being, he was still moved.

After a brief exchange, Zhou Ran said goodbye to Zhao Qianguang and his parents and returned to the hotel.

At the same time, the group that Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Chengshan were in was in an uproar.

This uproar was not made public. After Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Chengshan announced the news that Zhou Ran had successfully advanced, the group remained quiet and no one discussed it.

But in reality, the group members went crazy.

Their psychological activities at this time were extremely intense.

"What? Zhou Ran actually won?"

"This student from No. 2 Middle School actually made it to the second round?"

"Is this true? Can people from No. 2 Middle School also advance?"

"Could this be a mistake? Did Zhou Ran's opponent get injured during the match and be forced to withdraw?"

"Impossible! There's absolutely no way anyone from No. 2 Middle School can advance. There must be something wrong. It's definitely not that Zhou Ran is very strong, it must be that something unexpected happened to Zhou Ran's opponent!"

"I must go to Zhou Ran's next match and watch it in person!"

This is the psychological state of the members in Zhao Qianguang's group.

"Ah, Zhou Ran won?"

"Is this guy really going to be a professional tennis player?"

"No, Zhou Ran must not become a professional tennis player. If his family ends up living better than ours, it would be more painful than killing me!"

"Zhou Ran's opponent must be injured. If Zhou Ran's opponent isn't injured, and Zhou Ran advances to the second round based on his physical strength, then I hope, I pray, and I curse that Zhou Ran breaks his arm and thigh in his next match, and is completely and permanently unable to play tennis!"

"How could Zhou Ran, a rubbish student with terrible grades since childhood, win the tennis league, but I can't? I'm obviously smarter than him, and my family is richer than his. There must be something wrong!"

"How do I buy a ticket?"

"Where is the competition held?"

"I want to go to Zhou Ran's next game in person!"

This is the psychological reaction of the members of Zhou Chengshan’s family group.

Obviously, Zhou Ran's successful promotion broke down the defenses of many members in the two groups.

Although everyone did not communicate, they made the same decision.

That is, they will go to watch Zhou Ran's next game in person.

Chapter 19 This opponent is extraordinary!

After a night of rest, Zhou Ran woke up the next morning and was back to 2%.

According to the time stipulated in the schedule, Zhou Ran arrived at his second round competition venue in advance.

This time, Zhou Ran's parents did not come to watch the game again. After all, they both had to go to work.

But Zhao Qianguang and others still came to cheer Zhou Ran on as usual.

It's summer vacation now, the college entrance examination is over, and they have just been eliminated. They have nothing to do, so they might as well come and cheer for Zhou Ran.

What Zhou Ran and Zhao Qianguang didn’t know was that the people who came to watch the game today also included staff from Qingyun Experimental School, Qingyun No. 1 Middle School, Qingyun County Education Bureau, and many of Zhou Ran’s relatives.

It was only because the competition venue was large enough and there were thousands of spectators that Zhou Ran and Zhao Qianguang did not notice the presence of some familiar faces this time.

According to the schedule, Zhou Ran knew that his opponent in the second round was a player named Zhao Wenke.

Zhou Ran only found out after the game that his opponent in the previous game, Sun Jialiang, was one of the top eight players in the previous competition.

On the way from the hotel to the competition venue, Zhou Ran was a little bored, so he searched for information about his opponent today, Zhao Wenke.

He wanted to know what results Zhao Wenke achieved in last year's competition.

Sadly, he found nothing.

He also discovered that Zhao Wenke was actually a freshman in high school.

He is only in the first year of high school, so he definitely was not eligible to participate in the high school tennis league last year.

So there is no doubt that this is Zhao Wenke's first time participating in the competition this year.

But Zhou Ran did not deliberately underestimate his opponent just because it was his first time participating in the competition.

After all, Zhao Qianguang and others failed to advance to the second round for three consecutive years, but Zhao Wenke advanced to the second round in his first participation, so he must have the strength.

"The match is about to begin, both players please enter the arena and prepare!"

Shortly after entering the competition venue, the referee called Zhou Ran and Zhao Wenke to prepare for the start.

There are obviously more viewers today than yesterday.

This is mainly because the moves Zhou Ran used yesterday were too amazing.
