Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 165 I'll Take on Ten! [Fourth update, please vote! Bonus chapter for every 1500 votes!]

"The World Go Championship is a world-class Go tournament jointly organized by three continents, and it has a long and rich history..."

No matter where you are, speeches by leaders are unavoidable.

After all, now when the sun in America says a word, half the audience has to stand up and applaud, and the calories burned in one meeting are more than those burned in a marathon.

However, he was far inferior to the real Elijah Sun.

Because only half the audience applauded him, whereas when the real Amelia Sun was there, everyone had to stand up and applaud immediately.

The applause came too late? Go tell the FBI!
The team members from the three age-unrestricted groups attended the press conference. After all, the main competition of this tournament is actually held by them, while the veteran and junior groups are just supporting events.

However, as the vanguards who will play tomorrow, some media outlets still interviewed Yi Zheng and the other two vanguards.

"Hello, Yi Zheng, 1-dan. We are reporters from The Daily England. Welcome to London for the first time to participate in the World Go Tournament."

You seem to have just become a professional 1-dan last year. What are your thoughts on participating in this competition? Have you set any goals for yourself?

Although Yi Zheng still has high school student status, he hasn't attended many academic classes. Even if he did attend, English is not a required course in this world.

There are currently no devices such as headsets for real-time translation, but the team is equipped with professional translators who translate the reporter's words verbatim.

Upon hearing the translated content, Yi Zheng smiled and said, "There are still targets."

First, never aim for second place.

Second, we must get first place.

I want to end this match all by myself in one go; I want to take on ten of them.

Old Ke immediately joined in, saying in a charade: "First, my name isn't Hey, it's Chu Yuxun."

Second, we will never overlook any wrongdoing!
Third, fairness! Fairness! It's all about fairness!

Captain Chu Yuxun, the referee robot captain of Goose City, has come to pay her respects!

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng could only try his best to maintain a serious expression, because if he suddenly laughed now, others would think that he was laughing because he didn't believe his own boast.

The translator seemed surprised by Yi Zheng's sudden and startling remark, but still translated it according to its original meaning.

Many reporters were stunned when they heard this, because based on their usual experience interviewing Chinese people, most Chinese people are very humble during interviews, and even after winning, they will say that their opponent also performed very well, and that they were in better form, which is why they won.

If it were a pre-match interview, you would probably say things like, "I will be well prepared, the opponent is very strong, and I will go all out."

Suddenly, a Chinese person said before the competition, "I will end this competition," and this was a young man who was stepping onto the field for the first time.

Oh my god!

Not only the reporters, but also the teammates and coaches next to him were surprised, because they did not expect Yi Zheng to say the joke he made on the plane directly in front of the reporters.

Or was Yi Zheng not joking, but genuinely thinking that way?

Yip Man: I want to fight ten Zheng.

But it's better to keep these things to yourself, or at least hint at them. Why say them so openly?

And they even said it in front of so many reporters, we were all doing it behind people's backs!

Success is achieved through secrecy; failure is inevitable if leaked. Yi Zheng seems to perfectly embody the opposite principle.

Although Feng Yuhang maintained a smile on the surface, his heart was really in turmoil. He would die if he didn't show off, you bastard!

Feng Yuhang couldn't understand how Yi Zheng, who usually seemed so humble, could suddenly become so arrogant on the world stage.

If you say that, people will definitely fight even harder against you, and as the game progresses, it will be a fight to the death to stop Yi Zheng's winning streak.

Seeing the silent reporter, Yi Zheng felt he should say something, so he added, "I like to set small goals."

Small goals?
Whose small goal is to clear the arena competition by himself?

Yi Zheng felt it was quite normal, after all, Coach Ke often said that we should set a small goal first, win ten World Cup championships and earn him 100 million!

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng added that although a World Cup title is worth ten million, taxes still need to be paid, so ten titles are not enough to achieve a small goal; more needs to be won.

"Oh my god! Yi, your comments really surprised us, but putting aside the others, Ethan 9-dan's strength can be said to be the strongest in this competition."

He won both previous two victories despite being surrounded and blocked by China. Why are you so confident that you can defeat him alone?

"My sword is not bad at all!"

Yi Zheng, on the other hand, said with particular confidence, "Confidence is a must, and it has to be really strong!"
As a coach, Feng Yuhang experienced firsthand what it meant to be on edge during an interview, fearing that Yi Zheng might say something else.

Fortunately, Yi Zheng did not make any more surprising remarks in subsequent interviews.

It wasn't that Yi Zheng had run out of things to say; he simply planned to save them for later.

After all, this is just an interview for a small competition; the truly explosive words will have to wait for the world championships.

Mr. Ke: I have hundreds more pretentious lines like this! Hundreds more!
After all, apart from the boastful things he himself said, Coach Ke could copy all the boastful things other athletes said.

Having been transported to another world, how can I not become a plagiarist?
"You scared me to death! You really dare to say anything!"

Feng Yuhang wiped the sweat from his brow. He really hadn't expected that the one who seemed the most worry-free would turn out to be the most troublesome one.

Miao Jun didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he exclaimed, "Awesome, Zheng! You did something I wouldn't dare to do so easily."

Qi Ling: "Grandpa Yi is both tall and strong!"

Many: "Hehe."

Shen Guhong: "Hmph."

Feng Yuhang sighed helplessly as he looked at the few troublemakers under his command. Geniuses are geniuses, but they are also the most difficult to manage.

Yi Zheng's boast was indeed exaggerated, even leaving outsiders with the impression of arrogance and conceit.

If they can do it, they can justify their actions; if they can't, they'll likely face a lot of attacks from haters.

Putting everything else aside, the forwards from both European and American teams already looked at Yi Zheng with somewhat hostile eyes when they heard what their team's translator said.

Yi Zheng is really putting pressure on himself.

Yi Zheng, upon hearing the coach's concerns, would probably chuckle and say, "Pressure is what motivates us."
