Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

Of course, you don't need to win with empty money; you just need to do your best to demonstrate your strength.

In about an hour, Kong Yinzi conceded defeat.

Kiyotaki Kosuke nodded: "Compared to before, Gin has improved a lot, and his offensive momentum is quite good. However, while he is offensive, his defense is slightly lacking. He should study his defense in the future!"

"I understand, thank you for your guidance." Kong Yinzi bowed slightly.

Kiyotaki Kosuke looked at Dongfang Chen with anticipation: "Then let's have Xiao Chen next. Let me see the strength of the current Dragon King."

As a professional 9-dan shogi player, Kiyotaki Kosuke has devoted most of his life to shogi, and has fought against countless high-ranking players. His experience and personal strength have been honed over the years.

But he never stopped studying shogi, because there were many people better than him.

Even though they are getting older, their competitive spirit will not diminish in the slightest because of their age.

When faced with Kiyotaki Kosuke's challenge, Dongfang Chen waved his hand and said, "Master, why don't you play a game with Yaichi first? The best is saved for last."

Although Kiyotaki Kosuke is a genuine 9th dan, Dongfang Chen believes he has a better chance of winning.

但是，两人一旦认真起来，恐怕谁也群;?9';7.;5,6.3,2,:4'1"::0"群?'.9!,.7';5?6?::2.!８.!?８!!.4",,１无法轻松拿下对方。相对应的，一盘棋的时间就会被拉得很长，还会消耗对方大量精力。

Therefore, he decided to save his match with Kiyotaki Kosuke for after dinner.

Kiyotaki Kosuke laughed and scolded, "Looks like you've really gotten cocky, kid. In that case, let's have Yaichi go first!"

"Okay, please give me your guidance, Master!"

Kuzuryuu Yaichi sat down opposite Kiyotaki Kosuke with a serious expression.

The game between master and apprentice has begun again. Both Kuzuryuu Yaichi and Kiyotaki Kosuke are very focused, and both of them play a conservative, defensive style.

It's a contest of patience; whoever reveals a weakness first will instantly fall into a disadvantageous position.

The onlookers were also watching intently...

Three hours passed in a flash, and Kuzuryu conceded defeat with a throw: "I lost."

Kiyotaki Kosuke also breathed a long sigh of relief. He hadn't won easily; he had even been checkmated several times.

"Bayi, with your talent, you will definitely surpass me in a few years. You are still not calm enough. Try other tactics from time to time. You rely too much on the 'mutual hanging' tactic, which makes you easy to be targeted. What you lack is experience and maturity."

Kiyotaki Kosuke gave his evaluation of Kuzuryu Yaichi.

After thinking for a long time, Yaichi Kuzuryu finally nodded: "I understand, I will consider it."

Kiyotaki Keika patted Dongfang Chen, who was lying on her lap: "Xiao Chen, it's time to wake up."

"Phew, is it finally over?"

Dongfang Chen groggily opened his eyes, propped himself up, and stretched: "Thank you for the lap pillow, Sister Guixiang. It's as comfortable as ever!"

[Ding, the host slept soundly for two hours, gaining 40 Salty Fish Points. Salty Fish Points: 2860]

Kiyotaki Keika covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, Xiao Chen is still the same as when he was a child, he hasn't changed at all!"

Dongfang Chen: "Well, Guixiang's lap pillow is just so amazing. It's so soft and smells so nice. It makes me feel so safe and secure as soon as I lie down on it."

Since childhood, Dongfang Chen had often asked her to give him her lap pillow, and as a gentle older sister, Qinglong Keika naturally wouldn't refuse.

A gentle and mature older sister is the best!

"Tsk, why don't you just sleep until you die?" Kong Yinzi on the other end said, somewhat annoyed.

Dongfang Chen: "Ahem, no, no, then I'll sleep on Senior Sister Yinzi's lap next time."

His response was a death stare from Sora Ginko: "Go to hell..."

"Well, Sister Guixiang, let's go prepare dinner!" Dongfang Chen chose to avoid the limelight for the time being.

Kiyotaki Keika nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's already this late. But with Xiaochen's help, it'll be fine."

The two left the room.

Kiyotaki Kosuke laughed and said, "Haha, Gin, as a girl, it's better to be a little gentler."

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it."

Kong Yinzi also left directly, instead of keeping an eye on Dongfang Chen.

Kiyotaki Kosuke didn't mind Sora Ginko's attitude: "That girl is really something, she's had this temper since she was little, I wonder when she'll ever change."

Yaichi Kuzuryu: "Hahaha..."

I dare not speak, I dare not speak at all.

With his senior brothers and sisters on one side and his master on the other, Kuzuryu Yaichi, the lowest-ranking person in the room, dared not offend either of them.

"You should also communicate more with your senior brothers and sisters. The bond between fellow disciples is very precious."

Seeing Yaichi Kuzuryu's submissive demeanor, Kosuke Kiyotaki also said something.

Kuzuryuu Yaichi was somewhat embarrassed: "I understand."

His senior sister didn't seem to like him much, and he felt a strange distance from his senior brother. Being the junior brother was so difficult.

Chapter 13 Kiyotaki Kousuke, you've graduated! (Seeking flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings)

At seven o'clock in the evening, the five people sat around the dining table.

Kiyotaki Kosuke raised his glass: "This year is coming to an end, and a new year is about to begin. As your mentor, I have witnessed all of your growth."

It's only a matter of time before Yinzi becomes a professional female Go player; Xiaochen has already won the Dragon King title, and I hope you can continue your efforts and reach the 9th dan level soon; Although Bayi lost to Xiaochen, with your strength, you will definitely stand out next year.

And Guixiang, your father has seen all your efforts. Keep striving until the very end; all your hard work is the foundation of your growth. Cheers!

Cheers! *4

Everyone drank together.

Of course, the three disciples, including Dongfang Chen, drank beverages, while Qinglong and his daughter drank alcohol.

After enjoying a hearty meal, the group sat around the kotatsu (heated table).

"Well then, shall we begin our match now?" Kiyotaki Kosuke asked, looking at Dongfang Chen.

It's clear that the old man is really looking forward to it.

He probably wants to defeat this newly crowned Dragon King to prove his strength is still there, and also to dampen Dongfang Chen's arrogance.

"I just had a big battle with Junior Brother Bayi at noon, and we just finished eating. Master, do you want to rest a bit more?" Dongfang Chen wasn't in a hurry.

Kiyotaki Kosuke chuckled and said confidently, "No need. I can handle you kid without any problem. Don't underestimate a ninth-dan!"

Dongfang Chen nodded: "In that case, let's go! Let me warn you first, I won't hold back."

Although Kiyotaki Kosuke is indeed a 9-dan player, he can be considered the worst among all 9-dan players today.

He studied shogi for most of his life, and with his own talent, he was able to overcome all obstacles in the Meijin tournament a few years ago and finally reach the 9-dan level.

But now that he's fifty years old, it's impossible for him to go all the way in another Meijin tournament.

The game between top shogi players is no longer just a contest on the board, but also a contest of physical strength and mental fortitude.

Because at the ninth dan level, their strength has reached the pinnacle of the Go world, and they have their own countermeasures against most routines and tactics.

Especially in their area of ​​expertise, combat tactics, they are at the pinnacle.

At fifty years old, Kiyotaki Kosuke's physical and mental strength has been declining year by year, which has greatly affected his condition, making it almost impossible for him to perform at the same level as he did a few years ago.

"Ha, you're still being polite with me. Bring it on and let me see how much you've grown in the year since you moved out."

Kiyotaki Kosuke always felt that this kid was mocking him.

Dongfang Chen: "Everyone says we should respect the elderly and care for the young. You are older, so please go first!"

Kiyotaki Kosuke didn't hold back either, and the infantry in front of the flying chariot moved first, initiating the attack of the "Hanging" tactic.

Dongfang Chen moved his flying car directly. He wasn't afraid of any traps or obstacles; his preferred style of play was to directly destroy the entire board with his flying car.

Kuzuryu Hachi, watching from the sidelines, kept his eyes glued to every move of both sides, while his mind raced, trying to analyze the ingenuity of each move.

Kiyotaki Keika and Sora Ginko observed the overall situation, but their abilities were still insufficient to analyze the details.

The only sound in the room was the sound of chess pieces falling. Dongfang Chen attacked with all his might, while Qinglong Gangjie defended desperately. At least at the beginning, the two were still in a back-and-forth battle.

Two hours later, Kiyotaki Kosuke's movements had slowed considerably, and he needed to consider each move for a long time...

Three hours later, Kiyotaki Kosuke clutched his yukata in one hand and tremblingly picked up a Go piece with the other...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of fireworks exploding outside heralded the arrival of the New Year.

About ten minutes later, Kiyotaki Kosuke tilted his head back slightly, closed his eyes, and his brain was working at high speed as he analyzed the game.

Simply put, it means predicting the next move of the game in one's mind on a chessboard. Top players can even predict moves a thousand times!

Without some special tactics, if you face an opponent who can predict your next hundreds or even thousands of moves, you'll have no choice but to resign.

They've already seen through your future, but you have no strategy to deal with it; losing is only a matter of time.

Kuzuryu Yaichi commented, "Master has already done his best. If he still can't find my senior brother's weakness, then the outcome of this game is already decided."

"Huh? Xiao Chen, you've become this strong already? Even Father has a hard time beating you." Kiyotaki Keika exclaimed in shock, her mouth agape.

Kong Yinzi looked at Dongfang Chen's face. Although he frowned slightly, he looked very relaxed, which meant he still had energy to spare.

"Has he truly reached the pinnacle of shogi?"
