The Flower-Planting Kid Looks Like They're Playing Tennis, but They're Really Cultivating Immortality

Huajuan is the ninth child of a cultivation clan. He has eight older brothers, all of them long-legged, handsome, and skilled in magic.

And Huajuan?

Short legs, a round face, dot eyebrows, dead-fish eyes, and no magic skills.

After taking one too many knocks to his confidence, Huajuan decides to become as glamorous, graceful, and pretentious as his older brothers!

Then one day, he slips and takes a spectacular tumble. That's when he sees it...

Someone making a fireball with their bare hands!

Huajuan patters over, slides onto his knees, and hugs the mysterious fireball-making man's calf. In a voice loud enough to shake the heavens, he cries, "Great Master, God of Fire! Please accept my bow!"

Sanada Genichiro, an ordinary ninth grader who only knows how to play tennis: "T-Too lax!"

Sanada Genichiro has a problem. Out of the goodness of his heart, he took in a child who had wandered from China to Japan and wouldn't stop following him.

And then...

"Huajuan, no jumping around on the roof doing that utterly shameless dance!"

"No throwing mud with Sasuke in the yard!"

"And no..."

Sasuke: "Genichiro, come and hit me!"

Huajuan copies him, staring with his dead-fish eyes. "Genichiro, come and hit me."

Sanada Genichiro feels like he's aged by decades.

Because he brought home a beagle.

A new member joins the Rikkai tennis club. They say even the vice captain can't handle him.

And apparently, he's good at Chinese martial arts.

Akaya Kirihara decides to test him out. His eyes reddening, he hits a knuckle serve.

Then the ball is pinched between two fingers by his red-haired junior, whose hair is in braids and who is dressed in a martial arts uniform. With a sharp crack, the ball crumbles into pieces.

Kirihara: !

H-He knows kung fu!

Huajuan, innocently: I was just born strong.

More than anything, Huajuan wants to learn his "godfather's" "Invade Like Fire."

After delivering takeout 10,086 times and eating who knows how many bowls of rice, he finally gets it.

Huajuan throws a punch. "Invade Like Fire!"

Kirihara claps like a dolphin. "Great job, great job! But..."

"Why isn't there a tennis ball?"

"Th-This is just a regular fireball!"

Kirihara: stunned.

Is this gluttonous junior actually a magician?

#Everyone else is playing tennis, while you, my gluttonous junior, are seriously casting magic!

#The transfer student from China at Rikkai is a cultivator and isn't even trying to hide it.
