Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

Page 130

Because of Sai, I'm afraid it might damage Akira Touya's confidence.

But in fact, Hikaru Shindo himself wanted to play Go with Akira Toya, or even with Su Ran.

“Su Ranjun has always been ahead of me. I can feel his goal. I firmly believe that if I keep moving forward, I will see his shadow…”

Over there, Akira Toya continued, "But Hikaru Shindo is different. I don't know what he wants to do... He seems to be avoiding me, and also avoiding Su Ran-kun."

"I should be the one running away from them. Hikaru Shindo has no reason to run away from me, nor does he have any reason to run away from Su Ran-kun!"

"Later, I learned from Mr. Chi Shang that Su Ranjun would participate in this last amateur competition, and after that, he would not participate anymore."

Hikaru Shindo held his breath and listened quietly.

"In other words, if Hikaru Shindo doesn't intend to become a professional Go player, he will gradually drift away from me and Su Ran-kun."

"But I want to know, between him and Su Ranjun, who is stronger?"

"I'd also like to ask Hikaru Shindo, what does Go really mean to him!"

Behind the stone pillar, Hikaru Shindo clenched his fists and lowered his head.

……

I'm going to teach you a lesson! A chilling counterattack!

The second round of the competition begins.

At the referee's signal, everyone picked up their pieces and began to guess who would go first.

"We've finally met, Kawawagi Sansho."

The boy sitting opposite him took out a chess piece from the chess box: "Single or double?"

Su Ran took out two chess pieces from the chess box, held them in her palm, and looked at the boy opposite her with some doubt: "Do you know me?"

“My name is Xiyuan. I am here to compete for you, but you don’t know me.”

Xiyuan released his grip, and the chess pieces scattered on the board: "One, two, seven, I go first."

Su Ran was stunned. He tried to recall the name Xiyuan, but he couldn't come up with a clue.

Xiyuan smiled and said, "I'm just an insignificant child."

Su Ran frowned.

"Well, it's about time."

The referee glanced at his watch, nodded, and said, "The match begins!"

Xiyuan weighed the chess piece in his hand, then slammed it down: "I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Four columns and four rows, stars.

Although Su Ran was somewhat puzzled, she still picked up the chess piece.

Sixteen columns, four rows, stars.

Su Ran made her move.

A number of people gathered around Su Ran's chessboard, watching quietly.

Without a second thought, Xiyuan followed suit and placed his piece.

Four columns and sixteen rows, a star!

"It's snowing on the stars again."

A smile appeared on Su Ran's lips.

"Interesting, let's see what you're up to!"

Sixteen columns, four rows, stars!

For the first time, Su Ran started with the Star Opening, a pattern that had been studied many times.

"I'll spend more time playing with you and see what surprises you have in store for me!"

Su Ran's eyes flickered, and the experience of tens of thousands of games in his mind allowed him to instantly calculate the subsequent changes of each landing point.

Little Flying Horn.

west Yuan placed a chess piece, his eyes revealing a fighting spirit!

Three columns and four rows, Little Fly!

Su Ran placed another piece on the star point in the upper corner of her hand.

"Kawagoe Sanjō chose Kobi, is it for defense?"

"How rare! With his formidable strength, he actually chose to defend the corner in the face of Kuroko's provocation?"

"I also think it doesn't fit his style of being a fighter!"

Several spectators were discussing quietly, their voices so soft that only they could hear each other.

west Yuan seemed surprised that Su Ran would choose to defend, and was slightly taken aback.

"Not planning on running into me for a fight? That old man's apprentice... is nothing special!"

"Since you're afraid of me, then I won't hold back!"

A smile appeared on Xiyuan's face, and with a snap, the chess piece fell to the ground!

Six columns and seventeen rows, Xiao Fei!

"He used a low-flying hook again! This is a provocation!"

Behind them, someone covered their mouth and gasped softly.

"Or perhaps it's more accurate to say it's a provocation."

"I suspect that if Bai Zi continues to defend, his next move will be to engage in a real battle! He'll try to wipe out Bai Zi!"

"Very few people do this anymore, two small corner jumps... it's actually not easy to control."

During the game, Su Ran's mind was racing with the experience of tens of thousands of games, calculating the gains and losses at each point in real time.

A strange light flashed in Su Ran's eyes as he reached into the chess box.

A moment later, the chess piece was placed!

The white piece landed next to the black piece, shining brightly.

Five columns and seventeen rows, with a pointed top!

……

The people around fell silent.

"steeple……"

Some people found it hard to believe that Su Ran, who was always tough and aggressive, and whose moves were like bayonets, had actually chosen such a typical, unremarkable move!

"This not only allowed Black to create a favorable position with a two-space extension and a three-space extension, but it also echoed the star point in the lower right corner..."

"Not only that, but there are also three weaknesses at the corners behind the white apex, right?"

Why hasn't that kid on the other side played yet?

"What's there to hesitate about?"

……

"Pointed...pointed top?"

Xiyuan gritted her teeth, pinched the black piece between her fingers, hesitated, and refused to put it down for a long time!

"That's all there is to it, Su Ran!"

"What a disappointment. That old man Ikegami's apprentice is so easily defeated..."

"I will kill you in my grandfather's place!"

Thinking this, the black piece finally landed.

Six columns and sixteen rows, bang!

The black piece, like a giant tiger, opened its blood-red maw at the white piece, and with one move, it launched an attack!

Everyone held their breath.

This move could have been used in other ways, and it was a technique employed by experienced players with good results.

However, this boy named Xiyuan chose six columns and sixteen rows, and bumped it!

This caught their eye.

This move is a test of the opponent's intentions. If the opponent handles it poorly, it's easy to imagine that in just a few moves, they will inevitably get bogged down and unable to extricate themselves!

"What a sharp harassment tactic!"

Su Ran smiled slightly, stroking the chess piece with her hand, and gently placed it down.

"I have been the one who deliberately provoked the war. Now that you are the one to bare your blade first, how can I possibly flee without a fight?"

"I, too, will slowly draw my sword..."

"Can you hear the sound of your blood flowing backward?"

Su Ran's eyes gleamed, and the white chess piece formed a dot in his eyes!

The chess piece is placed.

Nine columns and eighteen rows!

"They actually rushed down the second lane directly..."

"Is he planning to give up the 3-3 point?"

"What is this kid named Su Ran trying to do? If you're going to defend, then keep defending!"

"They've shifted their focus to the side... Will Black choose to continue the attack and push deeper into the 3-3 point?"
