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

Chapter 305 Be yourself
"Hiss—what is Senior Brother Jiang thinking? Is he planning to reward me?"

Seeing Jiang Mobai, who was directly cutting in, Yi Zheng couldn't help but lean back tactically.

This move certainly looks fierce; it's like someone is willing to go through all that trouble just to forcibly cut off the dragon, as if they're making a desperate gamble.

However, from Yi Zheng's perspective, Jiang Mobai was essentially rewarding himself handsomely, giving Yi Zheng the perfect opportunity to revive his abandoned child.

Yi Zheng can now directly force Jiang Mobai to capture the three black pieces below and then move outwards.

Jiang Mobai has no choice but to eat now, because if he doesn't, Yi Zheng could beat him into an even uglier, stupid shape with continuous rolling.

To put it simply, this shape could make a certain famous teacher in Japan vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

And he exclaimed: "Baka yarou! Can you even call this Go?!"

Seeing that the situation had completely devolved into chaos, Jiang Mobai knew that there was no way out now. This battle would not end until Yi Zheng was killed!

But if we force an attack on this area...

Jiang Mobai spent nearly twenty minutes thinking about it. In his calculations, Yi Zheng's dragon here would form a very complicated robbery.

However, if we directly initiate a calamity, because Yi Zheng already has too many calamities, the more we fight, the more likely it is to help Yi Zheng survive, and in the end, we can only choose to prolong the battle.

Jiang Mobai shook his head, dismissing the change from his mind, and placed his piece in the center, retreating one move.

"Jiang's technique has deteriorated."

Yi Zheng looked at Jiang Mobai, who had backed down in the center, and silently commented in his heart that if Jiang Mobai were in his full state, he would definitely not hesitate to go up directly.

Even if it means mutual destruction, we are willing to do it.

But here, he took a step back.

Just by taking this step back, Jiang Mobai has become a completely different person.

Because taking a step back truly opens up a vast expanse of sky and sea, because behind you lies a precipice!
Yi Zheng placed his piece directly and struck Jiang Mobai on the back of the head with a backhand.

Pursue the enemy when they retreat, and attack them when they are exhausted!
"Yi Zheng is now completely in form, every move he makes is... absolutely beautiful."

Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but comment: "The ninety-third move, the flying one, was absolutely beautiful! It was definitely the best technique here!"

Not only is it eyeing the cut point of the white stones in the center, but it also threatens the cut above and aims to place them downwards.

Jiang Mobai is currently unable to attend to all aspects of the situation, making it impossible to kill him here.

Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. Although Jiang Mobai in the live broadcast managed to maintain his composure, the muscles in his face couldn't help but twitch.

Jiang Mobai now realizes that after he turns the tables, it's too late for the battle.

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but rub his face, his heart completely unable to calm down.

In his calculations, once Yi Zheng made a move, he would have to stick back, and then Yi Zheng would turn upwards, forcing him to make a move back from the second line.

It's so painful! It's so incredibly painful!
Move 103, Black, two spaces jump.

Seeing this move, Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "How should I put it? There's a very simple technique here: cut on top, and then White can't capture at all."

This way, the black stones can directly break through by attacking and capturing. If Jiang Mo fills in the gaps, the black stones can continue to cut off the top. At this point, the three white stones are completely captured, and the black stones escape completely. Furthermore, the black stones above can be connected, allowing the black stones to retreat and achieve a great victory.

But Yi Zheng was clearly trying to show off his skills again down there. This kid is really…

That's too reckless!
Yi Zheng wanted to both increase doubts and continue to gain an advantage.

Seeking stability?

Stable my foot!
Yi Zheng has absolutely no idea that he can contribute in the current situation!

What I need to do now is make shrimp and pork heart!

Indeed, Jiang Mobai was at a loss and could only watch Yi Zhengxiu.

After this move, whether Yi Zheng is making plays on the sidelines or cutting off enemy positions, surviving has become inevitable.

The game seemed to be completely over. Jiang Mobai didn't rush to admit defeat, nor did he rush to fight to the death. Instead, he began to analyze where he had made mistakes.

"I think they want to fight to the death against Yi Zheng, but they are also maintaining a winning stance, thinking about how to win in a more stable way."

In the end, he became like Yuan Shao...

To be hesitant to risk one's life for great causes, yet to forget righteousness for petty gains—this is no heroism.

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he had become a complete supporting character.

Yuan Shao also directly drew his sword to question Dong Zhuo back then. My sword is not dull, just like when I was challenging for the top spot back then. I had no scruples at all, and my heart was filled with only the deepest desire for victory.

However, after becoming number one, when faced with challenges from newcomers, he once again became hesitant and indecisive, just like the challenger he was years ago.

I used to look down on those seniors back then, but over time, I unknowingly became the kind of person I used to hate the most.

"How could I have become like this! How could I possibly become like this!"

Jiang Mobai closed his eyes and thought for almost half an hour. Many netizens were already commenting, asking if Jiang Mobai had fallen asleep or was trying to stall for time by refusing to admit defeat.
But the moment Jiang Mobai opened his eyes, his entire aura had completely changed.

Yi Zheng also keenly noticed this. He remembered seeing Jiang Mobai with this expression before. It was the same expression Jiang Mobai had in the final game of the final when he was aiming for the Go Saint title, when Yi Zheng was just starting out in the professional ranking tournament.

"That's it! That's the expression, that's the right expression!"

Yi Zheng's eyes involuntarily met Jiang Mobai's eyes.

I remembered!

Yi Zheng suddenly remembered a memory hidden deep in his mind.

Back then, when I saw Jiang Mobai's eyes on TV, I knew I had to defeat him.

I just want to defeat Jiang Mobai like this!

This is what a man should do!

He can take his place!
Jiang Mobai looked at the chessboard and silently took out a piece and placed it on the board.

Move 104, White, squeeze!
Jiang Mobai's current strategy is to create clues on the top and increase the strength of the white pieces. When he forces a breakthrough later, Yi Zheng will escape, and Jiang Mobai will use the white pieces in the center to make a final battle.

"It's a pity that the first choice could still be made under these circumstances..."

Looking at Jiang Mobai, who had made his first choice, Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head. If Jiang Mobai could maintain this level of performance from the start, Yi Zheng might not have won.

However, given the current situation and Yi Zheng's current state, Jiang Mobai is powerless to reverse the outcome.

As Ke Lao predicted, although Jiang Mobai made a final gamble here, Yi Zheng had calculated it very accurately.

It wasn't Jiang Mobai's last battle; instead, Yi Zheng turned the tables and slaughtered Jiang Mobai.

In the end, seeing that the white pieces in the center were completely surrounded and there was no way to turn the tide, Jiang Mobai simply nodded slightly, stopped the clock, and resigned.

Jiang Mobai took one last deep look at the chessboard, stood up, said only one sentence, and then turned and left.

See you in the finals.

Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Mobai, who was always showing off.

Ugh?
It seems like I won, right?
Shouldn't I have secured five consecutive wins and advanced to the finals, saying I'd be waiting for you there?
Oh no, someone else beat us to it!

Jiang Mobai turned around and walked into the corridor, unable to help but smile smugly. Although he lost the match this time, he won in terms of showing off.

but……

Jiang Mobai looked at Yi Zheng sitting in the center of the square through the window: "Next time, I won't lose in the finals."

P.S.: I played the "Saving Girl" game until dawn last night... Well, it was alright, but the last few chapters felt a bit like the language of steel wool. Mainly because I know too many top authors who have had their stories of being "saved"... I recommend everyone give it a try.
