Chapter 313 Chess Formation
The chessboard on Xianji Rock was completely different from the one Lu Ping had seen before on Duiyi Peak.

As far as we can observe with the naked eye, in addition to the different materials, there are no stone statues around the chessboard as the center of the formation, so the murderous intentions encountered after entering the formation and the methods of cracking the chess formation must be different.

But for Lu Ping, the difference is not that big.

After all, he was the one who destroyed it directly.

"Senior Wang, you just said that this chess formation is more dangerous than the one on Nanping Mountain?"

"Not bad!"

Wang Jixin smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "This chess formation not only combines the natural craftsmanship and chess principles, but also contains a certain amount of calligraphy. It was jointly arranged by me and Mr. Yan several years ago."

"Since then, this chess formation has become one of the important subjects for the two of us to train our disciples in chess, calligraphy, and martial arts."

The "Mr. Yan" he mentioned here is the "Saint of Calligraphy" Yan Zhenqing, one of the Seven Saints of Flowers.

The two people's residences and classrooms are located on the left and right sides of the chess formation.

"I heard that Wanhua disciples all use pens as weapons and chess to train acupoint pressing techniques. This chess formation can combine calligraphy and go to train martial arts. It must be difficult to set up."

"Wouldn't it be a pity if it was accidentally destroyed later?"

As Lu Ping was speaking, he inadvertently turned his head and caught a glimpse of the situation of the Wanhua disciples not far away.

I saw that they were standing in a row at this time, looking at me with sharp eyes, as if expecting something.

What's going on?
Lu Ping was stunned. For some reason, he felt as if he could read their thoughts from their eyes. They seemed to be saying -

"We, the disciples of Wanhua, have suffered from this chess formation for a long time. Please show us your magical power and destroy it!"

"..."

Yes, to outsiders, this is just a very sophisticated chess formation;

But for these Wanhua disciples, this is a hellish training that tortures them every few days!
After guessing what the Wanhua disciples were thinking, Lu Ping suddenly fell silent.

Then he turned to look at Wang Jixin and said, "If I destroy it, won't your disciples have no place to practice calligraphy and chess in the future? I think it's better to forget it..."

But Wang Jixin waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, young man!"

"If the chess formation is really destroyed, we can just set up a stronger one!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion from the Wanhua disciples behind him. Some people even stomped their feet, pounded their chests, and screamed.

Is the reaction really that big...? !

Lu Ping secretly complained in his heart, then spread his hands to the disciples and gave them a helpless expression.

Then he adjusted his breath slightly and stepped into the formation.

As soon as he entered the chess formation, Lu Ping felt the atmosphere around him suddenly change, but he could still see the people outside. It was not like the chess formation on Nanping Mountain, which made people enter a fantasy world.

As if sensing an intruder, the chess formation began to move spontaneously.

Da da da……

Dozens of black and white chess pieces suddenly appeared in the air.

The chess pieces were wrapped with internal energy, emitting a crystal green light. They landed in mid-air on the criss-crossed suspended chessboard, and laid out an endgame in an orderly manner in front of the road.

For a moment, the chess game was like a battlefield, and the dangerous atmosphere was looming.

"Hmm...it tastes just right!"

Seeing this, Lu Ping chuckled and paid more attention to the changes around him.

Sure enough, the next moment after the chessboard was created, several streams of ink energy jumped out from the chessboard as if summoned. After circling slightly in the air, they all attacked Lu Ping.

"Moqi... This is the chess formation that combines the mysteries of calligraphy by the 'Calligraphy Saint' Yan Zhenqing, right?"

"But it looks like the lethality isn't that strong?"

In an instant, Lu Ping judged that the attack power of the chess formation in front of him was far inferior to the chess formation on Nanping Mountain.

"After all, it is used to train our disciples. The purpose of this chess formation must not be to kill, but to trap. To be more precise, it should be training!"

After realizing this, Lu Ping immediately suppressed his fighting spirit and started playing the game.

He moved his feet and body, easily avoiding the attack of the ink energy. Dadada...

Just as he dodged Mo Qi's sneak attack, the sound of chess pieces falling came to his ears again. The sound was crisp and short, giving a comfortable feeling like white noise.

Lu Ping looked up and found that another endgame of chess appeared in front of him, and this new endgame was different from the one just generated.

While he was pondering, the chess game changed again.

More ink flew out, forming horizontal, vertical, dot, lift, hook and fold lines, which looked like hooks or paintings.

It was as if there was a senior calligrapher in front of me, writing a wonderful piece of literature with his brush and ink.

Every word and every stroke of the literary work turned into a fierce attack containing internal strength, with infinite variations and tricky angles.

"Hmmmm... I see. Is this how it works?"

In just two moves, Lu Ping already understood how the chess formation in front of him worked.

When an ordinary person enters the chess formation, he becomes a chess piece.

The actions of the players in the chess formation will be automatically transformed into chess moves.

After sensing this chess move, this chess formation can automatically respond and then transform this chess move into ink energy for attack.

If you want to break the formation, you have to understand the principles of chess, and then according to the transformation between your own actions and the chess path, you have to convert the chess path into a response method and take the right steps.

“Interesting… indeed interesting!”

The black energy attacks in front of them were extremely dangerous. If an ordinary Wanhua disciple wanted to enter the formation and concentrate on dealing with them, they would need to use 100% of their focus, which was very difficult.

But even if they can deal with the black energy attacks, if they cannot do two things at the same time, and calm down and think about how to solve the chess game while dealing with the black energy, they will eventually be exhausted of their physical and internal strength by the increasingly complex chess formations, and finally be defeated.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the chess-playing coping skills should come from Wang Jixin, and the ink attack should come from Yan Zhenqing..."

Suddenly, Lu Ping thought of something else: "What will happen to the chess formation if I don't take action?"

Not taking action is equivalent to not making a move. The chess formation cannot sense the opponent's chess moves, so is there no way to respond?
Thinking of this, Lu Ping stopped suddenly.

No matter how Mo Qi attacked, he just lowered his head, turned sideways, bent his waist, and jumped high, but refused to take a single step.

Outside the chess formation, a group of Wanhua disciples saw this scene, their eyes widened, and they couldn't help but worry about his actions.

"Why is the young man standing there?"

"Are you tired?"

"He's going to be in trouble now. It hurts a lot to be hit by that black energy!"

At the side, Wang Qi, a disciple of Shang Xian who had more experience in being beaten than other disciples, laughed and said, "You don't understand this, right? He has already figured out how the chess formation works!"

"See how the chess formation works?"

The Wanhua disciples were confused at first, but then they remembered that this was the first time that Lu Ping, an outsider, had entered the formation, and he knew almost nothing before entering.

One of the disciples asked, "Since he has seen how the game works, he should have thought about solving it. Why did he stop?"

"I understand!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly. He was Wan Songqian, a disciple of the chess master.

"If we don't take action, the chess formation won't be able to sense the chess moves, and it will naturally break. Is that right, brother?"

"Eh? Is this possible? I've never thought of this before!"

All the disciples looked at Wang Jixin, but Wang Jixin just looked at Lu Ping in the chess formation with a smile on his face without saying a word.

Wang Qi shook his head: "If you think so, you are totally wrong!"

"In the beginning, the chess formation did have such a flaw, but later Master and Mr. Yan discovered it and patched it up, so now the chess formation will not stop operating just because someone who enters the formation stops!"

"If the player does not move, it means that he has voluntarily given up the opportunity to make a move, but the chess formation will not stop there and will continue to make moves."

"In other words, the subsequent attacks will be even more powerful!"
