"One...two...three..."

she……

Has it reached this level?!
At 3:40 p.m. local time, in the chess game room of Samshuang Training Institute in Kyoto, South Korea.

As the chess clock once again used the English countdown ten times to remind himself that the one-minute countdown was about to end, looking at the chess game in front of him that had already reached the 168th move, Lin Ruixin subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the action of stroking the chess pot and the gloomy face still silently expressed the shock and unwillingness in the heart of this chess master, Lin Ruixin knew that there was really no need to play this game any further.

If we say that in the last match at the Changqi Cup, it was already outrageous that Rui Zhao dared to play slow chess and fast against such a leader of the previous generation, then the amazing strength displayed by his opponent in today's game while playing slow chess and fast was beyond belief!

In this game, it can be said that Rui Zhao did not have any intention of slaying the dragon at all. It can even be said that he intentionally used the most simple and unpretentious method to avoid calculation errors due to playing too fast.

However, despite Zhaojun's unintentional intention, in the end, the game still turned into an outrageous situation where White was "forced to slay the dragon"!
Since the upper right piece was finalized, the white pieces on the board are numerous and thick, while the two black pieces in the lower right middle part are not alive, which means the situation is already a big defeat.

Lin Ruixin struggled with his last bit of energy, forcing a capture at the lower right to try to break through the white chess blockade and avoid being entangled and attacked. However, even if the white chess gave in and stuck, the black chess was too thin and still had no good way to break through.

In desperation, he had to save the lower part first, but after the black pieces took advantage of the situation to make a thick line, the remaining pieces in the center were completely destroyed without giving the contemporary Zhaojun a chance to show her weapon.

The sharp purple lightning is hidden in the deep sheath, and the cold light has trapped the dragon before it moves.

This feeling of a heavy sword without an edge and great skill without effort gives people the feeling that it is even better than that of the young master of the Liu family!

In fact, Lin Ruixin couldn't find any questionable moves made by the opponent throughout the whole process!
In the face of the absolute quality of chess moves, the former Chinese chess master didn't have the slightest room to struggle and was easily defeated!
This……

Is this really a realm that humans can achieve?
For a moment, a suffocating feeling of oppression surged into Lin Ruixin's heart, almost making it difficult for him to breathe!

This feeling could be said to be even worse than the regrettable defeat he suffered at the hands of his opponent's dog!

However, although he was mentally prepared to lose the game, the man with the "heart of a winner" quickly adjusted his mentality.

but……

It’s okay, it’s okay!
I played this game of chess very well.

Lin Ruixin took a deep breath and tried his best to look at the failure in front of him with the calmest mind.

The main mistakes in today's game were that the lower right move was a little lack of consideration, and the upper left move was obviously miscalculated...

Other aspects, all is fine...

As long as I can control my mistakes, next time... next time I won’t be so embarrassed!
This game of chess only looks impressive, but if you look closely, none of the moves seem that exaggerated...

If this little chess player can do it, there is no way I can't do it!

"Seven...eight...nine...pop!"

After sorting out his feelings in his heart, seeing that the countdown was about to end and there was only one delay left, Lin Ruixin chose not to struggle anymore. He simply stopped the chess clock with his hand, and the previous leader of China spoke in a very cold tone:
"……You win."

After saying this, Lin Ruixin immediately started to pick up the black pieces on the board, and it was clear that he didn't want to talk any more.

Seeing Lin Ruixin stop the clock, the opponent, Dangshi Zhaojun, gradually recovered from her usual extremely focused state of chess.

When she saw that Lin Dawanghong on the other side of the chess table had collected most of the black pieces in just a few seconds, she subconsciously pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back and began to collect the chess pieces while commenting in the most calm tone:
"...Lin Jiudan, you have improved recently compared to the last game."

Although this sentence of Concubine Zhaojun did not contain any emotion, she was simply praising her opponent.

But this sentence, which did not contain any malicious intent, instantly made the former Chinese chess master furious!
"...You don't need to tell me anything!"

After putting the last chess piece into the chess box, Lin Ruixin slammed the lid of the chess box hard, making the entire chess box buzz:

"In the last game, you just got the white pieces under the Chinese rules, and you provoked me into playing too fast!

"You act so high and mighty... why are you pretending?!"

Rui Zhao was obviously not prepared for the sudden attack from her opponent. Normally gentle and reserved, she subconsciously shrank back.

But...it just shrank a bit.

Seeing the other party's vicious eyes, Dangshi Zhaojun also took a deep breath, and then replied calmly but strongly:

"That……

"What about this plate?"

"..."

This short question left Lin Ruixin speechless for a moment, but the huge gap in strength between the two sides shown in the game just now left him speechless. In the end, he could only squeeze out a few words from between his teeth:
"Just wait for me! I'll be back!"

After saying this, Lin Ruixin left the table straight away, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Only the words "I understand" from his young opponent behind him made him pause for a moment, but after a brief hesitation, Lin Ruixin still did not look back and continued to walk out of the game room quickly.

Rui Zhao, who had just responded to the other party, stared at him for a long time as he watched his opponent disappear at the door of the chess room. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't make any other moves. He just continued to collect the remaining white pieces on the board and whispered softly:
"turn out to be……

"Xiao Nie learned his catchphrase from Lin Jiudan... "And... it's pretty cute."

...

...

Tsk, it’s quite miserable!

Am I the only one again?
At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of this year's Sanshuang Cup was held in the auditorium of Sanshuang Training Institute.

Liu Shixian, who was waiting to go on stage to draw lots, glanced at the results of the other sixteen matches. The slight wrinkles on his forehead expressed fatigue but also helplessness.

Just as he had just said in his mind - unfortunately, seven of the top eight in this Sanshuang Cup are from mainland China, and among the other countries, only Liu Shixian is the only South Korean. The embarrassing situation of both Ying and South Korea having no successors has become increasingly prominent.

However, Liu Shixian understands that Japan may still be in a period of "generational transition" at the moment. After all, one of the two strongest rookies of the "post-10" generation is from Japan.

As for our country, there is truly no hope at all!

A talent gap of ten years is almost foreseeable, and it is even possible that the country will gradually become extinct!

But…the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now.

The former vice president of the Sanshuang Cup has just compiled a list of promising young players for me. I’ll take a good look at it after the competition!

I just don’t know... if I can last two more rounds in the competition.

Thinking of this, the young master of the Liu family, who had just been entangled by Shangguan Sheng because of a mistake, couldn't help but sigh lightly, then raised his eyes to look at the four lottery spots that had been drawn on the stage.

[Ji Qiujuan: No. 1]

[Xiong Siyi: No. 2]

[Lei Qi: No. 4]

[Rui Zhao: No. 7]

This means that China's "post-05" duo did not meet in the quarterfinals, which is indeed not good news for Liu Shixian now.

At this moment, the host's voice sounded again in the auditorium.

"Next, please invite Liu Shixian, 9th Dan, to come on stage and draw lots!"

As soon as the words fell, many eyes looked over in the direction of the host's words.

However, the young master of the Liu family did not care about it at this time. He stood up suddenly, walked onto the stage gracefully and calmly, and drew his own lot amid the shutter sounds of countless media:
[No. 8]

When seeing the contents on the signboard, Liu Shixian's expression paused for half a second, but then returned to normal, as if everything was normal, and he showed it to everyone with a very serious expression.

I'm really afraid of what's coming!
It seems... it's time to play slow chess with her again!
At this time, South Korea's strongest chess player was secretly troubled in his heart.

I haven't seen you for half a year. I wonder if you can play under the rules of standard slow chess...

How long can I hold on?

Thinking of this, Liu Shixian subconsciously looked in the direction of Rui Zhao below the stage, only to see the famous Chinese celebrity Zhaojun waving at him vigorously, looking very expectant!
what……

If it was half a year ago, I would probably still be excited about drawing such a lot, right?

But now... I really don’t know what kind of expression should I show at this moment!

Liu Shixian sighed slightly again and lowered his eyes briefly.

Well...I think...

Just smile.

Thinking of this, the once number one man in the world no longer hesitated.

Facing the excited greeting from the beautiful junior, he responded with his signature gentle smile...

...

...

Two minutes later, the draw results for the quarterfinals of the 2027 Sanshuang Cup World Go Masters Tournament were announced. Specifically:

【Ji Qiujuan】 vs 【Xiong Siyi】

【Sun Yi】 vs 【Lei Qi】

Zeng Guangwen versus Chu Jun

【Rui Zhao】 vs 【Liu Shixian】(End of this chapter)
