The work of the Go master

The final flying spike strikes the gap in the opponent's formation.

Then ruthlessly extinguish the eye sockets, each move igniting fire!

In an instant, the flames in his hands told him it was time to strike! Just as Frostmourne told Arthas it was time to fulfill his filial duty!

Of course, this time he wasn't attacking people. He had no grudges against the guys in front of him. This time, he wasn't going to attack the players, but rather to launch a fair and square attack on the monsters on the opponent's field!

After a running start, Ke Zhiguang leaped into the air and delivered a powerful punch!

If you want to knock this swordfish out of the game, then knock it out first!

A crisp sound of bones breaking came from the swordfish's face. Its fierce eyes were distorted by the blow, and its long, sword-shaped beak was smashed to pieces with a single punch... Ke Zhiguang had only ever seen such a scene in Tom and Jerry.

The swordfish was sent flying and landed on the wall behind it, then it swam away crying.

Ok?

Can this thing really be driven away?

If you run away, what will your master do?

"I lost." Hideo Morisaki sighed softly, then pushed the chessboard away and ran off.

The other three watched him leave in astonishment.

—Something's not right. Given his personality, wouldn't he still be making those time-wasting, useless moves even when he knows he's lost?

"I didn't expect Morisaki to admit defeat so decisively. In the past, he would have dragged things out with his opponent for a long time before calling a halt," said Matsunaga Teiko.

Such people do exist. Some are just acting childishly and refusing to admit defeat, while others are playing a few more moves to change their mood. However, there are also some people who have no sportsmanship and deliberately do this to buy time for the team competition.

Ke Zhiguang understood; from now on, when fighting villains, he would aim for their faces.

When you encounter a player who stays put on the board and refuses to move, attack the monsters on their board.

If he's not respectable, then help him be respectable.

“Next, it’s the three of you.” As Ke Zhiguang turned his head, his eyes seemed to flash with an electric light effect.

Hmm... this is getting more and more like a superpowered sports anime.

Chapter Thirty-Five: You Think I'm Hayabusa? Actually, I'm Lu Bu!

When Hideo Morisaki, filled with regret for his defeat, ran tearfully down the corridor, the entire Peach Blossom Abode was finally alerted.

"I heard that the person who shows up in front of the notice board every morning to do practice problems is currently battling the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"No way? With four people at the same time?"

"Morisaki-senpai was just beaten and forced to flee."

"So what's the current situation?"

"Very close... fifty-fifty."

Upon hearing the news of the important match, many students came to the door of the match room to watch, but Matsunaga Teiko blocked them out with a smile.

"A very intense game is going on inside. If your skill level is too low, you might get blown away by the storm." Matsunaga Tingko smiled and swayed her hips. With such a sweet smile, even the most absurd reason could be convincing.

In every sense, a storm was brewing in the game room.

Intense fighting spirit surged across every chessboard, and the lights in the game room dimmed further while the temperature rose.

Thankfully, they installed fluorescent tubes here. If it were a regular chess hall chandelier, it would probably be swaying on its own even without wind, like something out of a horror movie.

On this chessboard, a series of pushes, touches, and blocks are used to maneuver and survive, and then the pieces immediately jump to the next chessboard to break through with long blocks and blocks, igniting fierce battles. The last chessboard is a series of large knight's leaps and jumps in the air, with each chessboard having a completely different style.

no problem.

You can control the rhythm!

Ke Zhiguang's confidence rose even higher.

In fact, during these seven days, besides studying Saito's game records, he also took some time to play the second multiplayer challenge ticket and completed a round of "smurfing"... oops, training.

He is becoming increasingly adept at switching between different chessboards and dealing with the unfamiliarity of different challenge modes.

He moved the pieces in sequence on the three chessboards, his thinking flowing smoothly.

The lingering effects of the previous fierce dragon attack still lingered, and the moment the chess piece was placed down seemed to be in sync with the drumbeat, with Hayabusa taking down a monster with a single strike.

"Flaming Dragon" is one of the soundtracks from "Ninja Gaiden 1". It is one of the few background music tracks from a Famicom game that has its own name and is widely circulated. Decades later, Ryu Hayabusa joined "Warriors Orochi" and also appeared with this background music.

Unfortunately, Koji Kō didn't get to hear this song in Ninja Gaiden 1 because... this game is really hard. I died countless times before even reaching the level with the BGM.

However, considering that I am currently fighting three opponents as the boss, the rhythm of "Flaming Dragon" symbolizing the protagonist's indomitable fighting spirit is not suitable. I should give myself a theme song of "Lubu", which is the background music of Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors. That would be more in line with the spirit.

You think I'm Hayabusa? Actually, I'm Lu Bu!

There are 12 minutes remaining.

The opponents had 5 minutes, 6 minutes, and 6 minutes left respectively, and before they knew it, the health advantage had shifted to their side.

Two of the games were developing towards a more refined and gentle style, while the game against Yasuhiro Yamaoka was entering a fierce mid-game aerial battle, with various unrestrained large knight's ...

This is... Flame Steed.

In Saito's words, the middle game is like fire, and the style of play also emphasizes the unrestrained and free spirit of Saito, which is why it can appear like a galloping horse.

He is an opponent worth going all out against.

In that case... let's save him for last and defeat him!

The second person, Tian Tianwang, you, step forward!

Ke Zhiguang immediately locked onto the second target to be defeated.

The koala shuddered as if it had felt a chill.

Because of the koala's unique ability to wait for the opportune moment, it always hid behind Ke Zhiguang, looking for an opportunity to stab him in the back. Whenever Ke Zhiguang turned around to look, it would follow suit, always ensuring that it remained in the shadows.

But this time, it couldn't escape Ke Zhiguang's glance.

"You... have been found." Ke Zhiguang spoke in a sinister tone, his entire face coated with a terrifying effect.

The koala was so startled that its fur stood on end.

On the chessboard of Shintaro Wadamura, Koji Hikaru calmly filled a gap in a ko fight that had been fading away, and the devil hidden in the shadows was beheaded.

"Ah... this?" Tamura's chess piece almost fell onto the board.

That scoundrel had been left hanging in the corner, ignored by everyone, but he was constantly looking for suitable henchmen, intending to detonate that area at any moment.

As soon as he saw the method for creating the calamity material, the calamity itself disappeared.

This game... there's no chance of a comeback! The spooning strategy has failed!

Ke Zhiguang bent his knee, jumped up, and punched the cute-looking koala!

The koala's cheeks were distorted from the blows, and the small knife that had been hidden in its mouth was forced to be chewed up, a self-inflicted wound.

Oh my! This furry texture!

Autumn pear syrup! Can I have a few more punches?

Unfortunately, its maximum health bar seems to be only enough for one punch. After the koala fell to the ground and disappeared, Tamura got up calmly.

"Damn it! I'll definitely beat you next time!"

After saying that, he pushed away the chessboard and ran out in tears, leaving the scene in a miserable state under the stunned gazes of the students outside the corridor.

"What's going on? It looks like the Four Heavenly Kings are doomed?"

"Is this person a devil?"

"Were we going to become his hunting target as well?"

"Well... we probably aren't qualified."

No, no, no, I do have the qualifications. After all, having opened all the treasure chests in Peach Blossom Studio, I had already filled Ke Zhiguang's schedule with information.

On the chessboard, Ke Zhiguang's momentum has advanced further!

"You are indeed a formidable opponent." Soma Masae sighed and stood up, decisively placing a piece in the far corner, declaring his resignation.

She calmly walked out of the game room and into the fresh air outside.

In the center of the arena, only Koji Mitsuaki and Yamaoka Yasuhiro remained, and the air was tense to the extreme.

For Ke Zhiguang, there's only one countdown left.

On Yamaoka's side, there are still 3 minutes of reserve time left, and from a rapid chess perspective, their health bar is quite thick.

"As expected, it ended up being a duel between you and me," Ke Zhiguang said first.

"Although you sounded like you knew it all along, I really didn't expect that you could actually stand up to the four of us."

"If the four of you had teamed up earlier and put pressure on me, I probably would have only won two games at most."

"Hmph, how could we possibly team up to do such pointless things? What we each look forward to most is everyone else losing, and only ourselves winning this round." A wild smile spread across Yamaoka's lips.

Ke Zhiguang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.

That's true. Their opponents are proud and unruly students, so of course they would disdain such a wolf-on-lion tactic, which would not benefit them either.

This is a chess academy where zero-sum games are emphasized, not a martial arts school where unity and cooperation are valued against external threats.

The most important thing is to defeat an opponent in your own name.

Thus, on a psychological level, Koji Hikaru and Yamaoka had a few exchanges, commonly known as "hand talk".

The current situation is very difficult for Koji Mitsuaki, as he has to take time to play several games, which inevitably lowers the quality of each game. Yamaoka's game is now completely stable, while Koji Mitsuaki's game is still in a state of disarray and urgently needs to be rebuilt.

Not a single one can die; they must all survive to secure a complete victory in this 1v4 battle.

The Flame Steed was already neighing and kicking, preparing to charge.

The ten-second countdown begins—

Ten, nine, eight...

With each passing hourglass of time, Ke Zhiguang felt a surge of excitement, and his thoughts sank even deeper.

It's as if I have a countdown buff; the closer I get to zero, the clearer my mind becomes.

The more nervous you are, the faster your heart beats, but the accelerated blood flow is effectively controlled by the brain and converted into the power for thinking.
