In the near-future metropolis of Tianyuan City, tennis is transformed by spiritual qi revival into “spirit tennis,” a sport that combines athletic competition with supernatural powers.
Core setting:
Every spirit tennis player has a unique “spirit court” (a field of spiritual energy), with its effects visible during matches.
Tennis rackets can be customized into “spirit artifacts,” and the balls are “spirit-energy balls” made of special materials.
Protective barriers surround the courts so spectators can safely watch the spectacular battles.
The Tianyuan Association regulates competitions to prevent the misuse of abilities.
Spiritual energy ranks: Awakening → Forming → Transcendence → Domain → Tianyuan (legendary rank)
