The work of the Go master

【Ghost Warrior】!

Compared to the beginning, the warrior now looks much older, like an ancient warrior who has crawled out of a general's grave, carrying a decaying famous sword.

"Draw your sword!"

In the 30-second rapid chess format, the two sides once again clashed in mid-air!

"Here it comes again, the avalanche pattern. We can vaguely sense the impending attack!"

Snowflakes fluttered out from the upper left corner of the chessboard, each move carrying an intense chill.

34 moves! A feint jump, barely touching the ground, takes a step out from the break point!

36 hands! A pointed tip! A rotten knife held high!

42 hands! Clamped down! An avalanche collapses!

"What is this?" Bamboo Knife Forging's pupils twitched, and the fingers holding the knife trembled.

I think I've been stabbed?

A vast expanse of snow-capped mountains collapsed from the heights, and Shura stretched out his six arms, trying his best to stand firm amidst the howling avalanche!

On the chessboard, a powerful and solid force rose up, like a mighty glacier, radiating across half the chessboard.

The Oni Samurai also drew his blade and slashed straight at the bamboo sword forger!

A stinging sensation entered between his brows, causing Bamboo Knife Forging to frown.

[Negative condition: Mouth inflammation]

Seeing this scene, Ke Zhiguang was stunned, feeling that it looked very familiar.

So... it turns out that playing against someone in a corrupted state can result in being directly debuffed?

No wonder, when I got the [Curse Attack Effect Scroll], it had black flames on it. It turns out it really is a corrupting skill.

It seems I've discovered some incredible secret.

But speaking of this mouth inflammation... it's not too bad, not too painful. After applying some medicine, the milk will come back quickly.

More important than being affected by the debuff is whether or not you can win this game.

Getting hit by a knife at the start, a huge disadvantage...

On the chessboard, Shura propped himself up on the ground with his sword, clutching his wounded shoulder. Blood, corroded by venom, flowed down his face. Before him stood the demon warrior, laughing maniacally with a rotting sound.

Bamboo Knife Forging broke out in a cold sweat, tightened his jaw, and thought carefully.

"A very unexpected yet reasonable start. Xuan Yuzhi used a giant avalanche flying knife to force Zhudao into a predicament right from the start, and also washed away the shame of being stabbed in the battle of famous generals... Can this be called a complete transformation?" Da Mu Jungui asked in surprise.

"Fortunately, his sword isn't as strong as the one that Koji Mitsu and the bamboo sword were forged back then, so it seems to be still acceptable..." Naosaka judged.

If I had to give an example, the win rate after a successful throw of a Koss thrower is about 98%.

The win rate for forged throwing knives is about 85%, and for Xuan-style throwing knives it's about 80%... basically still within the range where you can turn the tide.

But regardless, the rope of balance had been pulled, and the powerful traction dragged the entire team forward, with the raging deep sea not far away.

Yagami Kunikyo calmly watched the game on the screen, without placing any pieces.

The seawater surged onto the deserted island, flowing smoothly along the flat path and inundating the villa's courtyard, as the heavy rain began to pour down.

Ke Zhiguang's gaze swept back and forth across the four television sets in the lounge, while his arms moved back and forth across the four chessboards in front of him, keeping up with the progress of each game.

The situation isn't too bad.

The vanguard battle has already entered the endgame, and the situation is very delicate. It is possible that in the end, both she and Nishi Chiaki will run out of time, and in the end, they will only lose by a difference of 30 minutes plus about 10 minutes of remaining time.

With both sides having four hours, 10 minutes really is a tiny fraction.

Harushima Shika also kept her promise to beat up the cub, and from the very beginning, she dominated Fuchigami Shizuru. Although in real life, it seems like any woman can tease her, on the chessboard, she is the real top attacker.

The main hidden dangers are concentrated in Xingcai and Zhudao Forging. These two rounds are the key to the overall situation, just like math and science subjects in an exam, which are areas that can significantly affect the overall score.

As for Chinese, it was so-so. As for English, there were plenty of multiple-choice questions, so I could guess.

All the spotlights were focused on the two games, the second-best and the middle-best, and the surrounding scenery began to darken.

"From the current perspective, these two games have the most variables. In the father-daughter game, the number of moves has reached 134... The little girl is surprisingly tenacious; she has been holding on for a long time in this ko fight."

"However, there is bad news. The father has half an hour left, and the daughter has ten minutes left... There is no countdown in this competition. The side that runs out of time first will be declared the loser. She has to be careful."

The rope tightened further, as if it might snap at any moment!

Xingcai remained deep in thought, her fingers tirelessly kneading her lips.

Fortunately, Xingjia knew about her habit and didn't put lipstick on her; otherwise, the chess pieces might have been left with her lipstick marks.

Suddenly, a sigh came from the other side.

Her heart clenched tightly.

The harsh sigh, like an underhanded trick, reminded her of the past, of being sighed at repeatedly in person.

Her lips moved slightly, and she clenched her teeth tightly.

Like a spark igniting an explosion in a cloud of dust, her emotions suddenly flared up.

He swiftly pulled out the chess piece and pinned it to the gap on the right!

It was a forceful digging, like a kindergarten teacher trying her best to tear open a layer of iron fence.

The action of moving a piece and then withdrawing it is like a hard slap in the face, leaving a beautiful arc in the air.

The general stared at her, momentarily stunned.

—Was it because of that sigh just now...?

To be honest, this was just a gesture of relaxation after a tiring game of chess, but it seems to have been misinterpreted by the opponent.

It's both funny and sad.

"Move 135, this move is a bit hard to understand. Is there a move here? It doesn't seem like Black is going to be able to win the fight."

Ke Zhiguang looked on with surprise and doubt as he looked at the move on the screen.

Because in front of his chessboard, he had just made the same move.

It seems the queen bee's uniquely potent sense of smell is about to kick in again...

So the question is, did she make this move based on her exceptional chess sense and calculation ability, or was it a rash decision made in a fit of anger?

Perhaps both are true; maybe that's the power of an emotionally driven chess player...

Time ticks by, and every second a large number of discarded variations are sent to the graveyard. Every move is made by stepping over the corpses of countless companions to reach the stage of the chessboard, sounding the horn of attack against the enemy.

"The first match is over! The winner is Nishi Chiaki 9-dan, by 2.5 points, with 11 minutes remaining!"

Nishi Chiaki clicked his tongue in amazement.

Winning was within his expectations, but he didn't expect the remaining time to be only 11 minutes. His initial plan was to win for at least half an hour.

"Mr. Xiqian's strength is well-deserved. As expected of a two-time holder of the Dao Ce title, congratulations." Xingjia said in a monotone "Ou Mou Lei Duo," full of sarcasm.

"Miss Xingjia is the one. It must be quite an achievement for a woman to have reached this point. I really hope that the senior of the Jiang family can show some fatherly warmth and go easy on his daughter." Nishi Chiaki pushed away the chessboard and was about to leave, not intending to have any post-match friendly debriefing.

“You’re wrong. Father is an excellent chess player. Even if his opponent is his daughter, he won’t let up in the slightest. Xingcai will never let Father down,” Xingjia said firmly. “But you, Mr. Xiqian, have been rejected by the gods so many times. Have you ever reflected on your own problems?”

Through the "telepathic connection," she was able to sense Xingcai's emotional changes.

In that intense instant, [Divine Hand] was triggered.

Although this skill is attached to Xingjia, Xingcai can also use it.

And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like the trigger rate is higher on Xingcai's side...

Without saying a word, Nishi Chiaki snorted coldly and walked out of the game room.

Meanwhile, the second chessboard also came to an end!

"The vice-captain battle is over, and the title is won by our true number one female player, the daughter of Eternal Moon Sky, the player with the most fans in the Go world, who will return to Seto to inherit the tile factory if she doesn't play Go well... Princess Harushima!"

"Hey! This title is way too long! It's even using ellipses!"

"Understood, Empress Catherine III Romanov-Seishima!"

Surplus time, 35 minutes! Crush and take it all!

"Oh dear, I lost too much by accident, and I won't get my salary." Fuchigami Shizuru said calmly, her eyes widening slightly.

Her contract with Tatsumi Koshikawa required her to hold out for 30 minutes to earn money, and then her salary would increase every 5 minutes. If she won, she would get a mansion, a yacht, and a luxury car.

After winning the game, Harushima Kashima didn't bother with any polite debriefing with his opponent and went straight back to report the good news.

"Indeed, this makeup suits her quite well," Shizuru Fuchigami muttered to herself behind her back.

"There are only two games left. These two games will determine the advantage or disadvantage in the final captain's match!"

The rain and musical notes reached their climax!

Chapter 82 Harmony in the Family Brings Prosperity in All Things

After finishing the interview, Harushima Kagami smugly kicked open the door to the lounge: "So, did I mean it when I said I was beating a cub?"

“Okay, I hereby declare that Shizuru Fuchigami will henceforth be called Shizuru Seishima,” said Koji Mitsuaki.

"You did a great job, Long'er. If I had known you would look so dashing in victory, I should have prepared an even cuter dress for you."

"Nonsence!"

After spitting out the word, Harushima Shika asked, "How's the situation now?"

"The advantage is currently on our side, but they are catching up quickly, so it's not easy to handle."

Harujima Shika also came to the television, looking troubled as he watched the two ongoing chess games.

Both games were played in very poor condition...

Especially in the middle game.

On the stage of the mid-level battle, chess pieces cascaded onto the chessboard like a torrential rain!

Ten hands!

Twenty moves!
