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

Then he quickly left the court without looking back.

Since you have chosen to admit defeat, there is no need to stay on the field any longer.

At this moment, every second he stayed on the court would cause him more torment.

Fortunately, Sun He's mentality was relatively stable. Although he felt mixed emotions when he admitted defeat, he quickly regained his confidence.

He wanted to remember this day forever.

He admitted defeat because his strength was not strong enough. After returning, he would intensify his training. When he met Zhou Ran next time, he would return all the humiliation he suffered today, and then he would make Zhou Ran choose to admit defeat.

After Sun He left, only a scene of astonishment was left behind.

"What's going on? Admit defeat? Sun He actually admitted defeat?"

"Hey, hey, hey, come on, the game has just begun!"

"I saved a month's living expenses to buy this match ticket, and it's over after less than two rounds?"

"Haha, although Sun He's decision to admit defeat is infuriating, it's understandable. If I were Sun He, I would have admitted defeat a long time ago and wouldn't have waited until now!"

The audience never expected that Sun He would choose to admit defeat.

When Zhou Ran used the disappearing serve, the audience was shocked that Zhou Ran could actually use the trick of making the tennis ball disappear in his serving game.

But everyone soon recovered from their surprise and unexpected emotions.

Because they know that the next game will become even more exciting.

However, this wonderful game ended just as they started watching it, which made them feel urgent and helpless that their pleasure was not satisfied.

But as many viewers said, although they were very reluctant to see Sun He admit defeat, if they were Sun He, facing such a huge suppression from Zhou Ran, they might not have been able to hold on until the second round and would have chosen to admit defeat in the previous round.

"Oh, what a pity. Let's go!"

"I can only admire Zhou Ran's amazing skills in the next game!"

"Can I get a refund?"

"If you can't return all of it, you can return part of it!"

"Why retreat? Even though the match is less than two innings, this exciting match is more exciting than any other match in its entirety!"

The audience muttered something and began to leave one after another.

After a brief discussion with the referee team, the referee on the sidelines quickly announced the result of the game.

"Since contestant Sun He admitted defeat and withdrew from the competition early, this match is won by contestant Zhou Ran!"

After calling out the score, the referee also began to clean up the scene.

Zhou Ran's expression was a little complicated at this time.

The audience was very surprised when they saw the disappearing serve trick, and Zhou Ran also felt great when he used it.

Just two rounds were not enough to satisfy him.

He thought that he could use his two tricks of disappearance and serve to win the game today, but he didn't expect that Sun He would not play.

So not only the audience felt regretful about the game ending early, Zhou Ran also felt very unsatisfied.

Fortunately, when he advanced to the 4th round, the next game will be tomorrow.

It won't be long before he can use these two tricks again on the court.

However, what happened next was indeed beyond Zhou Ran's expectations.

He thought that once the competition started on the second day, he would be able to quickly enjoy the game.

However, what he didn't expect was that not only did his opponent in the third round admit defeat and withdraw early, but his opponents in the following rounds also chose to admit defeat.

This year's competition has more than 200 contestants competing in eight rounds.

In the next few days, Zhou Ran's opponents in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds all chose to surrender.

The answers given by these players were all the same, that is, Zhou Ran's strength was too strong, and standing on the court to compete with Zhou Ran was completely redundant, time-consuming, laborious and stressful.

Since he already knew the outcome of the match, there was no need to humiliate himself by competing with Zhou Ran on the court.

With opponents withdrawing from four consecutive rounds, Zhou Ran had no games to play for four consecutive days.

He was still not satisfied during the third round.

Then, not having any games for four consecutive days made him itchy and he couldn't wait to pick up his racket and step onto the court.

"hehe..."

Zhou Ran was speechless for a moment at this unexpected situation and could only laugh.

Fortunately, his opponent in the final did not withdraw from the competition.

The final is different from the previous rounds. The previous rounds have a tight schedule and will be held on the second day.

The final was held the day after the 7th round.

The original intention was to give the finalists an extra day to rest, but Zhou Ran did not want this extra day of rest.

He hadn't played for four days, and thinking that he would have to wait another day before he could step onto the court made him even more anxious.

Unlike Zhou Ran who was a little anxious, Zhao Qianguang and the others were extremely excited now.

When Zhou Ran advanced to the third round, Zhao Qianguang and others were already very surprised.

Because no one in the entire history of Qingyun County tennis has ever advanced to the third round.

Before this, they were still fantasizing whether Zhou Ran could advance to the fourth round.

The result of the competition now was beyond their expectations. Zhou Ran not only advanced to the 4th round, but now even advanced to the finals.

Zhou Ran is the first and only contestant in the history of Qingyun County to advance to the finals.

Although several players withdrew from the competition during this period, Zhou Ran was given a bye many times.

But this was also the result of those players being shocked by Zhou Ran's strength.

So even though Zhou Ran had been given a bye, Zhao Qianguang and the others knew that this was also the final that Zhou Ran advanced to based on his strength.

Since Zhou Ran advanced to the finals, several people began to seriously consider the probability of Zhou Ran winning the championship.

That’s right, these people were really thinking seriously at this time, not just fantasizing.

Before, they did fantasize that Zhou Ran could advance to a few more rounds of competition.

But now that Zhou Ran has advanced to the finals, he has proved to everyone many times that he is very strong and definitely has the probability of winning the championship.

After some thought, Zhao Qianguang and others believed that Zhou Ran might really win the championship this time, and the history of Qingyun County tennis really had a chance to be refreshed again.

Different from the excited anticipation of Zhao Qianguang and the others, many contestants from Qingyun Experimental School and No. 1 Middle School, as well as Zhou Ran's relatives, felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

They didn't want to see Zhou Ran advance all the way, and they had long wanted to see Zhou Ran eliminated.

However, things went against his wishes. Not only was Zhou Ran not eliminated, he now even has a chance to win the championship.

This is something they absolutely do not want to see and cannot accept.

"Is this guy really going to win the championship?"

Although they were unwilling to accept it, these people were still speculating anxiously in their hearts.

In order to find the answer to this question, these people once again chose to buy tickets to enter the stadium to watch Zhou Ran's final.

At the same time, Zhou Ran, who had rested for four consecutive days, stayed alone in the hotel before the final, constantly wiping the racket in his hand.

Thinking that he would finally have a game to play tomorrow, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

After Sun He admitted defeat in the last match, he gained a large amount of achievement points, which could be exchanged for three or four special moves.

But now he has no intention of exchanging any special skills.

In the final he still had to use the invisible and disappearing serve.

He had only used these two moves for a few rounds in his last match, and he really wanted to experience them again.

Just when Zhou Ran was excited, his cell phone suddenly rang and someone called.

It was an unfamiliar number, but out of curiosity, Zhou Ran finally chose to answer it.

"Hello!"

"Is it Zhou Ran?"

"I'm your final opponent, Han Han!"

"Would it be convenient for me to meet you today?"

After hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Ran frowned after understanding the situation.

"Who's your opponent in tomorrow's final?"

"Why did he contact me in advance?"

"Why do we have to meet in advance?"

Zhou Ran had many questions in his mind.

Chapter 37 The First Opponent to Suffer Destruction

When Zhou Ran wondered why his final opponent Han Han wanted to meet him in advance, Han Han quickly dispelled Zhou Ran's concerns and doubts.

Han Han continued on the other end of the line, "Zhou Ran, I'm your opponent in the finals. I know that all of your opponents in the previous four rounds have withdrawn early."

"I was originally planning to withdraw from the competition. I've watched a lot of live video of your matches from the audience. Even though it's not clear, I know you're very strong!"

"I can't defeat you with my current abilities, and I'll lose miserably!"

"So I wanted to withdraw early before, but I made it all the way to the finals, and I was very unwilling to withdraw directly!"

"So I wanted to have a sparring match with you in advance. If I really feel that there is a huge gap between my strength and yours, I am ready to withdraw!"

"Haha, Zhou Ran, don't be offended. There will definitely be a lot of spectators at the finals. If I lose miserably, my mentality will definitely be greatly affected. I don't want that!"

After saying this, Han Han remained silent, waiting for Zhou Ran's reply.

Zhou Ran understood Han Han's words after a simple analysis.

It's simply that it was not easy for Han Han to advance to the finals. Wanting him to give up the fight for the championship would be denying the hardships he had gone through, so Han Han didn't want to give up directly.

But because Zhou Ran was too strong, Han Han knew it would be difficult to defeat Zhou Ran in the final.

Driven by this very contradictory idea, Han Han wanted to compete with Zhou Ran in advance.

Then Han Han will decide whether to continue to participate in the finals based on the gap in strength between him and Zhou Ran.

When Zhou Ran understood this, he quickly agreed after a brief thought.

"Okay, where shall we meet?"

Zhou Ran didn't mind having an early sparring match with Han Han. One reason was that he hadn't competed for four or five days and was itching to try.

Secondly, he knew that if he did not agree, Han Han might really withdraw from the competition early.

By then, it won't be as simple as not having any games to play for four or five consecutive days, but he may not be able to stand on the court for a month.

That would be a very painful thing.

So Zhou Ran was also very interested in having an early discussion with Han Han.

"Okay, Zhou Ran, thank you so much!"

"I'll text you the address later. It's at a tennis court nearby!"

"Don't worry, you just need to show up, I'll pay for all the venue fees!"

Hearing Zhou Ran's agreement, Han Han on the other end of the phone was overjoyed, and even his voice trembled with excitement.

Soon, Zhou Ran received the specific location of the tennis court that Han Han mentioned.

Without delay, he quickly took a taxi there.

After arriving at the location, Zhou Ran discovered that the tennis court Han Han chose was almost the same as the one Zhao Qianguang and others had chosen before. They were all indoor enclosed tennis courts.

Zhou Ran was no longer surprised by this kind of enclosed stadium. He took the address and walked to the venue designated by Han Han with ease.

"Oh, Zhou Ran, you're finally here. I really didn't expect you to agree. I'm your fan!"

As soon as he entered the stadium, Zhou Ran saw the tall and strong Han Han walking towards him with a forced smile on his face. He looked not like an opponent in the finals at all, but more like a fan idol meeting.
