Chapter 511: It's Actually Him? (Third Update)
[Bang bang... bang...]
On the fifth floor of the Noah's Ark Ship Tower, on a Court that was more than twice the size of a normal Tennis Court.
Two figures were dragging Afterimages at extremely high Speed, hitting a yellow beam that resembled a Laser back and forth.
Because the Speed of the yellow beam was simply too fast, it always generated visible Air Currents every time it cut through the Air.
The Roar of Sonic Booms was incessant.
If Ordinary People were to witness this scene, the first part of their Body that couldn't handle it would probably be their ears.
Beside the Court.
Stussy's Gaze held a look of envy.
Standing beside her, the Ubuyashiki four sisters watched dumbfounded, completely stunned. It was truly the first time they had seen such a terrifying scene.
Compared to this, the contests between the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps seemed a bit too 'ordinary'.
In the Court.
It was none other than Im engaging in a casual game of Play Tennis with his first wife, Queen Historia.
This was why Stussy was envious.
Because before, she was the one responsible for accompanying Im in this somewhat difficult and painful activity, though she enjoyed it. But now, she had been replaced.
Im, on the other hand, didn't care about her feelings at all, as he was teaching Historia how to Play Tennis. His Woman couldn't not know how to Play Tennis.
Moreover, he was considering using Play Tennis as a way for the Harem women to resolve Conflicts.
At least it was more Civilization than Combat with real Blades and Guns, right?
Although Historia had lived in the luxurious Manor of the Reiss family since childhood, her Mother was just a Maid, and she was merely an illegitimate daughter.
So, she was not only born on a ranch but also lived there with Animals for over a decade.
And her grandparents, who raised her, never spoke to her except to teach necessary Knowledge, so she had no opportunity to come into contact with a Nobility game like Play Tennis.
Thus, she could only start learning from scratch. Fortunately, Im was well-prepared and very patient.
Coupled with the fact that Historia, who inherited the Power of the Nine Titans, had extraordinary Control Ability over her Body, she was able to skillfully Serve and Return in no time.
She had basically reached a Level where she could happily Play Tennis with him.
Of course.
To ensure his own Experience, Im only maintained his Speed and Strength at a similar Level to hers.
Even so.
The scene of them playing was enough to leave Ordinary People dumbfounded, after all, Historia was using the Strength of the 'Ultimate Giant' to deal with every Tennis Ball Im hit.
At this moment, the Queen was wearing a battle skirt of Armor formed from white Crystal, and even the Racket she held, made from Adam Wood and Doflamingo's threads, was covered with a layer of diamond-like transparent Crystal on its surface.
The key was her Speed and Strength, which combined the flexibility of the Female Titan, the Speed of the Jaw Titan, the Stamina of the Beast Titan, and the Strength of the Armored Titan.
However, Historia did not transform into a Giant, but controlled her Body Size to about two meters.
This was a new mode she obtained after consulting with Ymir in the Coordinate Space, referencing the Human-Beast Form of Zoan Users. It was called the 'Half-Giant Form'!
This way, she could use a portion of the Power of the Titans while in a Normal Human Physique/Build state, unlike previous Hosts who caused a huge Commotion every time they transformed.
In addition, over the past few months, Historia had also used the 'Perfect Type-1 Cell Enhancement Serum', which significantly enhanced her Physique in all aspects.
Then, under Im's personal Guidance, she quickly mastered the basic Techniques of the Six Powers, and her Swordsmanship also greatly improved, although she had not yet reached the Sword Master realm where she could 'cut steel'.
However, both Armament Haki and Observation Haki had Awakened, and she could now use the 'Coating' Technique relatively skillfully.
[Bang!]
Im slightly increased the Force, which was instantly detected by Historia opposite him using Observation Haki.
Although her arms were already sore and aching from the intense and prolonged Combat, the stubbornness in her bones made her Gaze firm. Panting heavily, she gripped the Racket with both hands and used her full Strength to Return the Ball.
[Roar————]
The moment the Crystal-coated Net came into contact with the yellow beam, a cloud of White Mist erupted in a ring shape, instantly turning into a Gale that swept across the entire Court.
This caused the Ubuyashiki four sisters to retreat in panic, looking as if they were about to fall over.
Fortunately, at this moment, Stussy stood in front of them and used the 'Emission' Technique to spread out a layer of Armament Haki, blocking the Strong Wind that was comparable to a typhoon surge.
'Emission' was originally an advanced Technique of Armament Haki.
In the past, even Vice Admirals didn't have much chance to learn it, but ever since the Command Department and the Military and Political Department announced the public availability of cultivation Techniques and even assigned the Military and Political Department to teach them.
Many Vice Admirals of the Three Forces had successively mastered this Technique, which allowed them to release Haki outwards like a Shockwave.
Stussy was naturally no exception.
Meanwhile, Historia, the person who received the Return, was struggling extremely hard with the Tennis Ball on her Racket in the Eye of the Storm's Center. But no matter how hard she tried, she could only maintain this stalemate.
[Slap!]
Finally, she could no longer hold on. The Racket in her hand flew out, and the Tennis Ball smashed the Court behind Historia to pieces, as if it had been hit by a large Caliber Jet Cannon Shell.
"Ugh..."
Historia half-kneeling on the Court, covered her wrist in pain. At the same time, she looked up at Im with a resentful Gaze, saying nothing. Mikasa in the distance watched her worriedly.
"Let's stop here. Although it's the first day, you learned very well and played quite well."
Im, however, was completely unconcerned about this. He calmly looked at the light green Sky above his head and said softly, "Alright, today, add a piece of Meat and a cup of Milk to the dinner of all Eldian people."
"Yes, Lord!"
Stussy responded softly upon hearing this, then walked to the side, took out a golden Transponder Snail, and conveyed Lord Imu's Order to the Otherworld Strategy Committee in the name of the Celestial Dragons.
Queen Historia immediately showed a Smile upon hearing this. Having often gone out to see things, she clearly understood how difficult the lives of her subjects were now.
Meat Food was only available for three meals on two days each month; other times, it was pickled vegetables with Bread.
After she returned to her Palace with Mikasa and a group of Maids to prepare for washing up and resting, Stussy had also finished her call. She walked to Im's side with three Documents that had just been handed to her by her subordinates and reported.
"Lord Imu, these are the 'List of Promoted Personnel from the Four Seas Selection Trial', the 'Data/Files of the First Challenger for the Summit War', and the 'Reform Plan for the next Selection Trial' sent by the Five Elders."
"Oh?"
Im casually threw the Racket onto a rack in the distance. He curiously picked up the 'Challenger Data/Files'. After multiple discussions among the Five Elders, the 'Summit War' had become a special channel specifically used to absorb civilian Admiral Level Combat Power.
Basically, as long as someone successfully Challenges a current Admiral, they can directly disregard the so-called qualifications and Merit and be directly granted the Vice Admiral Rank. Even if they fail, as long as they show Admiral Level Potential, they can also be granted the Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral Rank.
Speaking of which.
To Obtain the qualification to Challenge, one must first defeat a current Vice Admiral within ten minutes. This Difficulty is no joke. And when Im saw the Photo on the Document, he instantly recognized him.
"It's him..."
