Upon hearing this, Lin Ruixin frowned subconsciously, a mixture of annoyance and impatience flashing in his eyes.

He didn't want to get entangled, and he didn't want to listen to any advice...

He just wanted to leave this place and return to the world where there was only chessboards and thoughts of revenge!
Lin Ruixin took another step to the side, attempting to bypass Nie Yunyi again. However, today, the young Nie Yunyi seemed determined!
Instead of stepping aside, he took another step forward, his movements decisive and precise, blocking Lin Ruixin's path! At the same time, a barrage of urgent and pleading words poured out like a machine gun:

"...Brother Ruixin! Listen to me! Ruizhao...Ruizhao is just too strong, too strong!"

"Look! She's won eight straight in the challenge matches now, and there's never been any sign that she'll lose!"
You can never beat her!

"Moreover...and she has made a great deal of contributions to Go!"
"She has organized many competitions! She has promoted Go to the world and almost single-handedly pushed Go to unprecedented heights. She is even pushing for Go to be included in the Olympics!"

"She's really a very, very good person. You must have misunderstood her..."

But for Lin Ruixin right now, how could he possibly listen to any of that!

To him, Nie Yunyi's words were like a breeze that quickly dissipated in his ear!
His eyes remained cold, and his expression remained indifferent.

The seven-time champion from China didn't even bother to respond with a single word; his entire focus was on one thing—leaving this place!

Get rid of this incessantly chattering roadblock!
He tried to change direction again to get around the other party, but Nie Yunyi seemed to have anticipated his movements and reacted even faster! With a slight shift in his footing, he once again blocked his way like a stubborn rock.

But this did not shake Lin Ruixin's mind in the slightest!

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to move aside, he didn't dwell on it and immediately turned around, intending to go around to the other side of the corridor.

Seeing Lin Ruixin's stubborn and unyielding attitude, only wanting to escape, a resolute look flashed in Xiao Nie Baduan's eyes!
The next second, Xiao Nie Miao suddenly opened her arms and pounced on Lin Ruixin, giving him a bear hug!

His arms wrapped tightly around Lin Ruixin's upper body like iron hoops, firmly imprisoning him in his embrace. It was as if he wouldn't give up until he pulled his former idol out of his obsession!

"you!"

Lin Ruixin was caught off guard and instinctively struggled to break free from the sudden restraint!
However, to his surprise, Nie Yunyi's arms were rooted to the spot and locked him tightly, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not budge them an inch!

……Eh?

Am I unable to even break free from Xiao Nie?

A chilling realization struck Lin Ruixin instantly, causing him to waver for a rare moment:
Am I really getting old?
The person who could easily outmaneuver all opponents, dominate the chessboard, and react with lightning speed... is now unable to even break free from a former naive admirer?!

How is that possible?!
Actually, this is nothing to be surprised about—Xiao Nie is seventeen and a half years old now, which is the time when his physical strength and fitness are at their best.

Lin Ruixin has been focusing on chess for the past two years. Although he does some simple physical training in the villa to maintain his basic physical fitness, he is naturally no match for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man who is in his physical peak!
However, when this cold reality was laid bare before him, and when the little guy who once looked up to him was now able to hug him tightly and prevent him from getting away, a strong sense of resentment and humiliation erupted like a volcano, instantly igniting the blood in his entire body!
"Get out of here!!!"

A low growl, suppressed to the extreme, burst forth from deep within Lin Ruixin's throat!

At that moment, adrenaline surged, and a violent force originating from the instinct for life suddenly exploded from the depths of his body!
With bloodshot eyes, he suddenly arched his body backward, as if breaking free of a heavy shackle, and with all his might threw Nie Yunyi, who was holding him, away!
"what!"

Nie Yunyi let out a short cry of surprise as his body was violently thrown into the air by the sudden, enormous force, and he fell directly to the ground.

Lin Ruixin himself was also thrown off balance by the forceful swing, and his violently shaking body lurched forward a few steps as if he were drunk, almost falling flat on his face!
He awkwardly braced himself against the wall beside him, barely managing to steady himself. Even this small movement left him panting heavily, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat!

The sudden, loud noise shattered the silence of the corridor and quickly alerted the chess players who had just finished their match and were resting nearby.

Footsteps and questions quickly approached, and many people rushed over, looking at them with suspicion and uncertainty.

Ignoring the pain he was in, Nie Yunyi, who had fallen to the ground, looked up with a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes!
He stared blankly at Lin Ruixin, who was leaning against the wall, panting heavily and looking as if he had aged considerably in an instant. He seemed completely unable to comprehend how this former Chinese chess master, who appeared to be exhausted, could have just unleashed such astonishing power!

However, Lin Ruixin was completely too lazy to pay attention to any of this!
He was panting heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows, sweat dripping down his temples, and his already aged face now showed even more exhaustion!
But he didn't even glance at Nie Yunyi again, nor did he look at the chess players who had gathered around with surprised and suspicious eyes.

After catching his breath, the former leader of China suddenly straightened his back, shook off his hand that was gripping the wall, and strode straight through the approaching crowd towards the end of the corridor. His figure appeared exceptionally resolute in the dim light, as if the future was his only direction! And he seemed determined never to look back…

I don't know how to turn back!

...

...

However, the scene that Lin Ruixin caused at the Huaxia Chess Academy after the World Sanshuang Cup qualifiers did not cause any ripples in the world of chess - after all, people have very limited patience for a stubborn clown.

The world's attention is now undoubtedly focused on Athena of the chess world, who has gradually reached godlike status.

Currently, Yong Shi Zhaojun is making great strides in the special challenge match, and her popularity is rising along with the debate over who is the "greatest athlete in history".

After decisively defeating the world's second and third-ranked players twice with a handicap, and achieving an eight-game winning streak in the special challenger tournament with a handicap, almost no one can question the Go GOAT's status as the world's best player with a handicap!

Faced with this unprecedented dominance in the history of competitive sports and the enormous influence it brought, more and more media outlets and public opinion began to elevate Wang Zhaojun, the eternal goddess of China, to a divine status! Even…

Even right-wing media outlets are no exception!
...

At 10:00 AM on March 24th, North American time, outside Fox News headquarters.

As soon as John Davis, Fox News' head of content, stepped out of the headquarters building, he was immediately surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for him!
Cameras and microphones were shoved almost in his face, and a barrage of sharp questions rained down on him:

"Mr. Davis! Rui Zhao just achieved another resounding victory over Lei Qi 9-dan in the eighth match, a handicap challenger game! What are your comments on this?"

"Editor-in-Chief! What is your opinion on Rui Zhao's dominant performance of winning eight consecutive matches with the lead in the 'Yongzhao Junwei' challenge?"

"Does this prove that your previous views that 'women cannot be more talented than men in Go' were completely misleading to the public and suppressing women?"

"Sir! Should Fox News revise and issue a public apology for those articles that previously questioned women's talent in Go?"

……

The reporters' questions were increasingly sharp, directly targeting Fox News' past stance and Davis's previous statements!
The crackling flashes of the cameras made Davis's slightly pale face look even more embarrassed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which had no hairline.

His eyes clearly showed some panic, and he subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes from the blinding flash, trying to appear calm as he said:
"Uh... I, I already said this before:"
"Rui Zhao, 9-dan, is indeed an excellent Go player, but her achievements do not represent the general level of female Go players..."

This time, however, the reporters were no longer buying into Editor-in-Chief Davis's claims!

"...Just because you say 'cannot represent' means it can't represent anything?!"

One reporter immediately retorted loudly, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm:
"Rui Zhao is a female chess player, and she has always identified herself as one! So why can't she represent women?"
"As Rui Zhao's official social media account previously responded..."

"So, according to your logic, if we think you're not a man, then you won't be able to enter the men's restroom anymore?!"

The reporter's question only fueled the laughter and enthusiasm for asking questions from the audience!
Other reporters immediately echoed this sentiment, their voices overwhelming Davis like a tidal wave.

Davis's face turned bright red. He opened his mouth, but felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word!
Faced with immense pressure from the questions, Davian was driven to desperation. Desperate to exonerate himself for his past statements, he finally couldn't help but utter these words:

“If God acknowledged Herself as a girl, we would have to concede that women are innately more gifted than men.”

("If even God himself acknowledges that she is female, then we can only admit that women are more gifted than men.")
In fact, the reason why Davian blurted out this sentence was to emphasize the logical absurdity of extrapolating from a single example to the whole.

However, this hasty remark has become one of the most famous quotes in the history of competitive sports on Earth…

The following day, global media outlets focused on the content of Davis's interview, and almost all of them coincidentally used the name of a famous pop song as their headline:
God Is A Girl (End of Chapter)
