Thinking this, Ryoma Echizen clenched his fist tightly.
According to Echizen Nanjiro, it is extremely rare for someone of Echizen Ryoma's age and strength to be able to awaken the state of Muga (the state of selflessness), it can be said to be one in ten thousand.
These words reaffirmed Ryoma Echizen's self-confidence and gave him the confidence to catch up with Chen Anxia.
But after learning that Chen Anxia had already unleashed the full potential of his talent, Ryoma Echizen felt a renewed sense of urgency, an indescribable pressure rising within him.
It's like a monkey trying to catch the moon's reflection. You think the moon is right in front of you, within reach, but little do you know that it's just a mirage, an illusion, while the real moon still hangs high in the sky, visible but unattainable.
In this story, Echizen Ryoma is the monkey, and Chen Anxia is the moon.
At that moment, Ryoma Echizen began to doubt once again whether he could catch up with Chen Anxia.
This is not surprising for Echizen Ryoma; similarly, Touya Akira and Shindo Hikaru, who had previously tried to catch up with Chen Anxia in the world of Go, were in the same boat.
It's not that they lack talent, but rather that Chen Anxia, whom they see as their role model, is simply too...
On the field, Atobe Keigo was panting heavily, his face already drenched in sweat.
Clearly, Atobe Keigo is under immense psychological pressure at this moment.
This psychological pressure intensified, especially after Chen Anxia made another absolute prediction.
However, Atobe Keigo did not give up and continued to search for Chen Anxia's blind spot.
In Atobe Keigo's heart, a voice kept telling him, 'It's almost here, almost here, we're about to find Chen Anxia's blind spot...'
This inner voice seemed to be the embodiment of Atobe Keigo's obsession, constantly supporting him.
The match continued under these circumstances.
1 ball, 2 balls, 3 balls...
Everyone was silently counting the number of balls in this round, waiting for Chen Anxia's absolutely predicted 12th ball to appear.
Unbeknownst to us, we've already reached the 10th goal.
The 10th shot was hit by Chen Anxia.
Finally, on the 10th ball, Atobe Keigo saw the icicles that had appeared around Chen Anxia.
These individual icicles are the embodiment of Keigo Atobe's world of ice, and also Chen Anxia's blind spot.
Upon seeing this, Atobe Keigo's eyes narrowed sharply, and he shouted in his heart, "Chen Anxia, let me break your absolute prediction!"
"The total number of goals in this round is... 11!"
Immediately, Atobe Keigo hit 11 balls, and then hit one of the icicles into Chen Anxia's blind spot.
The next moment, under Atobe Keigo's confident and expectant gaze, Chen Anxia, who should have been frozen in the world of ice and unable to move, actually took a step back and hit a backhand slice.
This backhand slice is a zero-style slice.
In the backcourt, Atobe Keigo was completely unable to receive Chen Anxia's zero-style slice shot.
Without a doubt, Chen Anxia scored on the 12th point with this zero-style slice shot.
This also means that Chen Anxia's absolute prediction has come into effect again.
Because ordinary people cannot see the Ice World, they are unaware that Atobe Keigo has created the Ice World.
In their eyes, Atobe Keigo, as always, was defeated by Chen Anxia's absolute prediction.
However, Chen Anxia knew that Atobe Keigo had just unleashed the Ice World.
The reason Chen Anxia knew this was because...
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Anxia looked at Atobe Keigo, whose face was full of astonishment and disbelief, and said, "Don't you know? The weaknesses and blind spots you see are exactly what I want you to see."
"This victory belongs to Seigaku!"
As Chen Anxia said, this victory, with a score of 0-6, belongs to Seigaku!

Chapter 341 The Finals Approach, Fuji Syusuke's Six-Fold Counterattack! (Please Subscribe!)
After the match against Hyotei, Seigaku played matches against Josei Shonan Middle School and Rokkaku Middle School.
The result was unsurprising: all members of Seigaku were stronger than their counterparts in the original story, and they defeated Josei Shonan and Rokkaku Middle School by a large margin.
Finally, the Kanto Tournament reached its finals.
Seigaku's opponent in the Kanto Tournament finals was none other than Rikkai University, widely recognized as the strongest high school in the island nation's junior high school tennis world, also known as the King!
It must be said that Rikkai University is extremely strong.
Even though all of Seigaku's students were stronger than their counterparts in the original story, they still fell behind when facing Rikkai.
In the doubles match, Seigaku's doubles number 2 and number 1 were both defeated by Rikkai's doubles number 2 and number 1.
Indeed, even Seigaku's golden doubles pair, Eiji Kikumaru and Shuichiro Oishi, were no match for Rikkai, losing 7-5.
This result led most viewers to be pessimistic about Seigaku's chances.
Some of the top students from various prestigious schools couldn't help but sigh and feel regretful. In their opinion, the most anticipated battle between the two champions, Seigaku and Rikkai, would probably not be seen.
In this situation, Seigaku's singles number 3, Ryoma Echizen, took to the field.
Ryoma Echizen's opponent was Rikkai University's No. 3 singles player, Akaya Kirihara.
Kirihara Akaya was able to become Rikkai's No. 3 singles player, so his strength is beyond question. However, he was still no match for Echizen Ryoma, who had already reached the state of Muga and whose strength was greater than that in the original story.
Even though Kirihara Akaya had entered a demonic state, he was still no match for Echizen Ryoma, who had entered a state of selflessness.
The reason for this is that Ryoma Echizen, having entered a state of selflessness, can perfectly utilize powerful and difficult-to-counter techniques such as the Zero-Shiki Chop, the New and Old Triple Counterattack, and the Swallow Return Flash Serve.
In the end, Kirihara Akaya lost 3-6 to Echizen Ryoma.
This match became a stepping stone for Ryoma Echizen to make a name for himself in the junior high school tennis world of Japan, bringing him into the sights of top high school players and forcing them to take this first-year student, just like Chen Anxia, seriously.
There's no way to ignore it, because Ryoma Echizen, having awakened the state of selflessness, already possesses national-level strength.
The national level undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of junior high school tennis, and currently only a few people can reach this level.
Next up was Seigaku's number 2 singles player, Fuji Syusuke.
His opponent was Rikkai's No. 2 singles player, Renji Yanagi.
Inside the stadium, Renji Yanagi opened his eyes and looked at Shusuke Fuji with a serious expression, saying, "Although I also really want to see Chen Anxia and Sanada's match, I have to win this one."
"Rikkai University's path to national dominance must not be allowed to be altered!"
Fuji Syusuke's eyes were now fully open. After hearing Yanagi Renji's words, he couldn't help but smile slightly and say, "I'm sorry, I can't do as you wish."
"Because I want to win this game too!"
As he spoke, Fuji Syusuke glanced at Chen Anxia, who was sitting in the coach's chair watching the match, and continued, "To paraphrase him, victory belongs to Seigaku!"
"There's no point in saying more," Liu Lian'er said upon seeing this.
Then, Yanagi Renji began preparing to serve.
Clearly, Renji Yanagi intends to demonstrate his determination to win this match through concrete actions.
Fuji Syusuke also took this very seriously, solemnly assuming his catching stance.
The game has begun.
boom!
boom!
boom!
......
Amidst the heavy thuds of tennis balls hitting the ground, the match gradually became a stalemate.
Although Renji Yanagi had mastered Fuji Syusuke's data, he initially used this data to break through Fuji Syusuke's old triple counterattack and frequently scored points from Fuji Syusuke.
However, it is clear that Yanagi Renji did not have the data on the new triple counterattack.
Under Fuji Syusuke's new triple counterattack, Fuji Syusuke sounded the horn of his own counterattack, gradually turning the tide and even beginning to suppress Yanagi Renji.
Such a stalemate is extremely exciting in the eyes of onlookers, and they can't help but exclaim and cheer at the exciting moments.
"1-1."
"2-1."
"2-2."
......
Under these circumstances, the score of the game reached 5-5 without anyone noticing.
Li Hai camp.
At this moment, everyone's face showed a solemn expression, even Sanada Genichiro.
They could hardly believe that Renji Yanagi, one of the three giants of Rikkai University, would fight Fuji Syusuke to such an extent.
Among them, Kirihara Akaya, who had always wanted to catch up with or even defeat the three giants of Rikkai University, found it hard to accept this situation, muttering to himself, "This can't be real, can it? How could Yanagi-senpai be fighting so hard against Fuji Syusuke..."
It's worth noting that Kirihara Akaya was almost always completely outmatched by Yanagi Renji in their matches.
Even Kirihara Akari had never seen Yanagi Renji in such a difficult situation, which is why Kirihara Akari also found it hard to accept.
Besides, what Kirihara Akaya found even more difficult to accept was the strength that Fuji Syusuke had displayed.
In Kirihara Akaya's mind, he always believed that Fuji Syusuke's title of genius was undeserved and that he could easily defeat Fuji Syusuke.
But judging from the strength Fuji Syusuke has displayed at this moment, well...
Not only Kirihara Akaya, but also the other strong students from the other high schools present were all shocked by the strength that Fuji Syusuke had displayed.
In their minds, Fuji Syusuke was indeed very strong, but far from being at the national level.
However, the strength that Fuji Syusuke displayed at this moment was undoubtedly at the national level, and it was not weak even among those at the national level.
How could this fact not shock them?
On the field, Yanagi Renji, who was already drenched in sweat, took a deep breath and looked at Fuji Syusuke, who was also drenched in sweat, and said, "I have the data on your new triple counterattack. This match is over!"
Without giving Fuji Syusuke a chance to respond, Yanagi Renji unleashed a powerful serve.
