The work of the Go master

Ok?

It's such a waste to give her such a great skill!

Koji Mitsuko had previously asked Inoue, and she said that she and Harushima Shika always ate at the women's dormitory cafeteria, or Inoue would cook for them herself. In other words, Harushima Shika didn't use that skill at all.

But Ke Zhiguang really wanted this skill. His room had a stove and gas, and he had also obtained a lot of cooking utensils from his fellow Daoists. He had always wanted to try cooking for himself.

In short, you don't need to give me such a useful skill!

Eat! No! Get fat!

Ok?

Ok?

Ok?

this......

There can't even be such an epic skill?

Ke Zhiguang was stunned when he saw the effect. The frame of the effect was edged with brilliant gold, as if it had been given a sacred status, and the three amazing exclamation marks were even more striking.

That's incredible! That's absolutely incredible!

This is the strongest effect that Ke Zhiguang has ever seen. In comparison, the +200% fortune of the Eternal Dragon Throne seems dim and lackluster.

If other women... no, let alone women, I imagine most men, if they knew that the title of princess came with such a divine skill, would probably all eagerly sign up for a Thai tour and then diligently practice Go.

Just as Ke Zhiguang's thought process was contemplating whether or not to rush up, pull the pink crown off the dragon-locking pillar, and put it on his own head, Qingdaolu finally made his move.

*Snap*—they chose to remove two key pieces, forming a beautiful and professional tortoise shell shape.

Hmm... I initially thought this shape was normal, but considering my opponent is a girl, it just feels a bit strange.

With his mind still focused on the chessboard, after learning about Harujima Shika's various amazing skills, Koji Hikaru was certain that a stronger fire of aggression, even envy and jealousy, had been ignited in his heart.

Basically, it's like saying... "Give me your secret to eating without gaining weight!"

With its power fully charged, a chess piece crashed onto the board like a meteorite, creating a huge crater!

52. With a single elephant step, the attack penetrated the weak point on the lower left side of Shinobu Shiro's side, and a new round of battle was launched!

Chapter Eighty-Four: Knock! Calamity!

When Ke Zhiguang's hand left the chess piece, a fierce burst of electricity jumped out from it.

Every time I wear someone else's elephant eye, this special effect appears, as if a nail has been driven between two gears, forcibly stopping their operation.

"As expected, after gaining the initiative, Ke Zhiguang immediately targeted this group of stones. This was the only weak group on Harushima Shika's board. If he didn't gain anything from this group, it would be difficult to make up for the losses on the right side."

The tension on the chessboard was violently stirred up, and both sides wore expressions of anxiety.

Calculation, more in-depth calculation—

Electric sparks intertwined in the invisible realm, and the buzzing current seemed to be knocking on the door of the brain.

Harushima Kashima's eyes flickered, and she quickly responded!

Ke Zhiguang retaliated with a lightning-fast shot!

Another second!

Each second shot strikes the chessboard with lightning speed!

The details have all been calculated. All that's left is to quickly add the changes that were prepared beforehand. This game is that simple.

But Shireshima's gaze flickered for a moment, and a series of almost perfect combinations of patterns flowed across her iris.

She stretched out her little finger and reached into the chess box.

The chess piece, imbued with extreme cold, landed on the chessboard, transforming into a cruel ice flower upon contact with the surface.

A sudden surge of cold air rushed in! It was as if an ice cellar had been opened, and a thick layer of frost covered the glass of the entire game room.

Ice needles, like hidden weapons, were spat out from the ice flowers, but Ke Zhiguang grabbed them with his other hand!

Oops, I didn't hold on, and the ice needle pricked my forehead.

It's alright. Gintoki always has kunai stuck in his head and is covered in bruises, but it doesn't affect his movements. So, if I get pricked on the forehead by an ice needle in this realm of thought, it's probably nothing.

"A cold move" is the only way to describe this move.

"Move 65, Harushima Shika played a brilliant move that was hard to detect. It was a surprise move that allowed her to cut off White's stones and also gave her own stones a chance to escape." Naosaka commented on the move, resting his chin on his hand.

Many chess fans watching the game on television let out small exclamations of admiration.

"No, this isn't Princess Deer's game. I want to see something even cuter and more adorable."

"Fast forward to the sudden death."

"Harushima Namaka."

This is a foolish move that cuts off the connection of the white stones with ice.

The "foolish shape" is usually not the first choice for players. The pursuit of beauty and efficiency is the normal mindset of a chess player.

However, it cannot be denied that in a few cases, the "foolish form" can indeed have an extremely powerful effect, making it arguably the strongest local tactic.

"Mr. Naosaka, you just mentioned cold hands. What's the difference between that term and 'demon hands'?" Reiko asked.

"Well... there's not much difference, they're both good moves that are hard to see under normal circumstances, but in terms of visual impact, the Demon Hand should be slightly better, right?" Naosaka said with a laugh.

"Mr. Naosaka, have you ever played a game like this in your game record?"

“Well… cough cough, let’s look at the game. Harushima Shika is indeed worthy of being the champion of the Women’s Cup. Although she barely rested last night, her momentum alone is enough to make any opponent in her way tremble, including Koji Mitsuhiro.” Naosaka said.

Although Naosaka is a fan of Kobe, his opponent is, after all, the number one female player, so he doesn't mind praising her. After all, who wouldn't want to praise a cute female player?

Ke Zhiguang was deep in thought before the chessboard shrouded in cold air. Qingdao Lu's figure became a hazy shadow behind the cold mist, his eyes, which were in a state of burning explosion, were like a sniper rifle, with infrared spotlights shining.

Their strength is greater than expected.

This is Harushima Kashima, who has been boosted by the championship momentum and reached the peak of his form. He is more ferocious than expected. Every step he takes forward is like moving towards the eye of a storm in reverse, and it is almost impossible for him to move forward.

On the other side of the chessboard, Harujima Shika had almost the same idea.

She thought she could take advantage of the champion's momentum and overtake him in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was like... like driving a tank towards Moscow when the weather suddenly turned cold and the road was full of potholes and swamps, which greatly slowed down the progress.

In the lower left corner of the chessboard, the white pieces are frozen solid, extremely fragile, and any careless move could shatter them.

After five minutes of deliberation, Ke Zhiguang made a clean and decisive decision—this piece could not be moved.

After a few breaths to get into the zone, my calm gaze swept across the chessboard, searching for other places where I could leverage my strength.

The chessboard is like a giant human body structure; if one part is immobilized, you might find a way to make it move in another part.

All you need to do is start a fire somewhere else.

The field of vision narrowed, narrowed further, until it finally converged on a single point on the chessboard—that one!

A white stone, as if riding a catapult, was launched from mid-air into the corner of the black stone's territory!

The sparks ignited, but that wasn't enough; they had to keep drilling deeper.

Collide with it, lean in, and then push it in again. After the pieces left Ke Zhiguang's hand, they all turned into snakes that scattered in all directions, each snake tightly coiling around the black pieces!

Maneuver! Disrupt the situation!

It's time to unleash his exquisite maneuvering and disruptive skills again. Ever since defeating Saito in a rapid game, he's been obsessed with the feeling of controlling the enemy's isolated position by maneuvering around their formation.

While the most satisfying aspect of Go is capturing a dragon, the second most satisfying aspect is undoubtedly securing a living group.

The vitality of chess pieces is inherently extremely tenacious. The difficulty of making a group of pieces live is far lower than that of killing a group of pieces. Sometimes a group of pieces doesn't even need two eyes. As long as it runs long enough and becomes a towering dragon, it is automatically considered to be alive.

It's absurd that someone like Zezi managed to kill a super dragon with 47 points, but on another level, the fact that I could kill such a dragon... well, that seems absurd too.

Every few minutes, a move is made, each move stepping over the corpses of countless variations to arrive in reality. The light and shadow shift at a tiny speed, and the surrounding air seems to freeze.

The dragon's breath descended once more, a soaring dragon that landed squarely in the center of the chessboard, its imposing presence giving the impression that it would devour the entire board in one gulp.

Ke Zhiguang's hand twitched. The fighter jets are coming!

Remove the chess piece, sweep your arm across the entire chessboard, and throw the piece onto that spot of light!

A pincer attack is coming!

Although Ke Zhiguang had sensed the presence of this move long ago, there was no good opportunity to make it happen, just like you have to open a covered card at the right time.

"Although Ke Zhiguang encountered setbacks in the battle in the lower left corner, he seems to have turned things around quite a bit in the battle in the upper right corner."

"Is it possible that Princess Qingdao was angered by Ke Zhiguang's excessive moves, which led her to make even more excessive moves?"

"This... is actually quite possible. There's a saying that goes, 'One bad move by one's own side leads to an even worse move by the opponent.' After Koji Hikaru invaded, he not only didn't run away, but instead entangled Harujima Shika on the spot. It's like a thug harassing a respectable woman."

Harushima Kaoru's fingers began to knead and rub her knees back and forth, creating creases in her skirt—a habitual gesture when she was deep in thought.

The snake-like chess pieces coiled around her, wriggling around like eels, giving her a slippery, unpredictable feeling.

—Is his ability to care for orphans really that strong now?

Harushima Kashima had to admit that for a moment he underestimated his opponent and made a careless move.

However, she really should speed up her pace now.

Ke Zhiguang has 54 minutes left, while she only has 16 minutes left.

At this point, she simply resorted to a shrewd, underhanded tactic—stealing glances at her opponent's expression.

As usual, Ke Zhiguang kept making small physical movements, but his face remained anxious and calm as he pondered deeply, and he occasionally nibbled on his fingers.

We didn't get any useful information.

In the 8th minute, Harushima Kashima moved his pieces again.

"On move 102, Harushima surprisingly chose to ignore the first move and directly invaded Koji's empty corner, a rather bold move." Naosaka placed his latest move in the upper left corner of the board, the only empty space.

"Could you explain the situation in the upper right corner? Princess Harujima suddenly dropped her clothes here. Does that mean she's admitting that the person in this corner is dead?"

"This would be a favorable ko fight for Black, but even if Black makes a move now, there's not much Black can do against White."

"So, there are now two half-dead areas on the chessboard?"

"It can be said that what follows will be a very tough test for the two players on the field, and this game is very likely to become one of the most exciting games of the year." Naosaka turned optimistic at the end.
