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

Sai's hand seemed to follow Hikaru Shindo's mouse movements, gently reaching into the empty chess box and taking out a cold chess piece.

"Now……"

"If you run into it, just as you wish."

Sai's gaze was distant, and in the stillness, he sensed an overwhelming killing intent.

"THESAI, who knowingly ventured into the tiger's den."

"Then I..."

"I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Sai gently placed his piece, and the instant the piece landed, his killing intent was fully revealed!

In the internet cafe, no one expected that a legendary game would be born not far from them.

"In this chaotic battle, who will survive to the end?!"

“THESAI, you…”

"Is that the boy named Su Ran?"

With SAI's move of touching the twelfth column and fourth row, the game finally, finally, descended into a fierce and chaotic battle!

Both sides made their moves with lightning speed.

People all over the world were intently watching the chessboard, sweat beading on their foreheads!

……

Akira Touya's family.

Touya Kouhiro looked at the chessboard, Ogata Seiji was in charge of setting up the pieces, and Touya Akira was in charge of announcing the moves.

Ogata Seiji was utterly astonished by the current state of the game!

"Who exactly are they? Why do they possess such formidable strength, yet they've never appeared in professional matches before?"

"SAI and THESAI!"

Akira Touya stood silently to the side, staring at the computer screen, the images of Hikaru Shindo and Su Ran lingering in his mind.

"No... THESAI is not Su Ran-jun..."

Akira Touya closed his eyes, recalling all of Thesai's previous videos and analyzing his every move.

"SAI, could it be Shindo?"

Akira Touya gritted his teeth, recalling his game against Hikaru Shindo in the go room.

……

Chapter 119 The Most Dazzling Step! Reveal Your True Colors!

"Xiao Guang, eleven columns and fifteen rows."

Sai's voice rang in Hikaru Shindo's ears. Hikaru counted the squares and placed the chess piece on it.

THESAI's moves were all precise, hitting the vital points directly.

In this feeling, Sai also felt a surge of joy in his soul, and... a slight tremor!

"When facing such a formidable opponent, I can feel myself gradually... gradually approaching the realm of the Divine Hand!"

The chess pieces kept falling.

In this fierce battle, THESAI constantly revealed its hidden strengths and exploited every weakness.

Fifteen columns and seven rows, a town.

"What astonishing computing power..."

Sai pointed at the screen with his fan.

"Sixteen columns and twelve rows, Dafei."

The chess piece is placed.

"A single move that draws the blood... The current game is far too complex... It's impossible to even assess the situation clearly."

THESAI made his move after a moment.

Fifteen rows and eleven columns, pointed.

"Is it sharp..."

Sai's face was as cold as ice, but his eyes flickered.

"It's lunging at my eyes again. I have to nimbly sidestep it by the smallest of margins to avoid its sharp blade on the left and its dagger on the right!"

With a light touch of the folding fan.

"Seventeen columns and twelve rows."

Hikaru Shindo felt the suffocating pressure; his small body seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure, and his hands began to tremble.

"We cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake..."

Sai stared intently at the computer screen.

He could sense the other person's presence through the computer; the mysterious THESAI, just like him, was holding his breath.

They were at opposite ends of the chessboard, the chess pieces becoming bridges that spanned space!

"But... he always manages to find my weakest point in the chaos, and that feeling almost makes me feel powerless..."

"Despite my calm and collected response, it was still ineffective..."

"As expected, although an ambush was set up, it was still... too reckless."

"Even when he was ambushed, he was still so difficult to tame, or rather, he knew it was ambush, yet he still had the confidence to break in."

"This game of chess will be fought to the last half point... Only at the very end will we know... the final outcome of the game..."

THESAI hesitated for a moment when faced with this incredibly sharp 17 of 2.

"Did you figure it out?"

Sai lowered his eyes.

"Yes……"

"Simply relying on counter-attacks while defending won't work..."

"THESAI, I'm also looking for another way out, taking the initiative..."

"Can you feel it?"

Sai's gaze remained calm as he awaited THESAI's response.

A moment later, THESAI made another move.

"Seventeen columns and eight rows!"

Sai's expression changed slightly.

……

"Every move was swift and decisive, with precise and deadly strikes."

After a long silence, Touya Kouhiro looked at the chessboard and made a succinct comment on THESAI.

"It's unbelievable that THESAI was completely reckless... Who would dare to learn chess from him..."

"What gives him the confidence to provoke a mysterious and powerful opponent like SAI time and time again?"

Ogata Seiji stared in shock at THESAI's move, seventeen columns and eight rows.

“Just now he sacrificed two important pieces, and now he’s even sacrificed a whole area… He’s trying to gain an offensive position in the upper left corner, I can tell.”

"But teacher, with such a piece of film, does he really have the confidence to snatch it back from the top left corner in front of SAI?"

"This is ten thousand times harder than defense!"

Faced with SAI's challenge, THESAI's choice shocked him.

He seemed to see a sure-fire opportunity and chose to sacrifice a piece.

Ogata Seiji regretted it somewhat. He had the opportunity to play against THESAI, but due to his 9-dan status, he found it difficult to make up his mind to register an account on the World Go Network.

Although Ogata Seiji felt that THESAI was quite strong, and his Tengen move was even more amazing, the players THESAI had previously played against were all low-ranked professional players.

Even if there are occasionally strong players, most of them are like Masao Kato, a senior figure in the Go world whose thinking cannot compare with his prime.

Therefore, he inevitably underestimated THESAI's strength to some extent.

Now, with the two online masters clashing head-on, Ogata Seiji has begun to reassess their abilities.

They definitely possess chess skills that are no less than their own, and can even rival their teacher, Touya Kouhiro!

"SAI, THESAI, just who are you...?"

The images of Su Ran and Hikaru Shindo flashed through Ogata Seiji's mind. He had witnessed the duel between these two young geniuses at the junior high school Go league.

Today, when the incredibly familiar style of play appeared before his eyes once again, he couldn't help but feel completely disoriented.

"But how is this possible... The game between those two kids last time still had quite a few flaws. There were two points in the middle game, but it wasn't mature enough. It was definitely not the kind of peak duel we're seeing now..."

"Have they progressed that quickly?"

"So quickly, you've settled on your playing style and developed it into this form?"

"No no no..."

Ogata Seiji quickly dismissed his idea: "Absolutely impossible. This kind of playing style cannot be honed without countless battles."

"Moreover, the fact that THESAI can change his playing style shows that he has played countless games and learned from the moves of countless opponents, switching between them at will."

"Damn it... I have absolutely no clue. What are SAI and THESAI, anyway?"

……

Sai stood behind the computer, silent.

For a thousand years, all the games of Go have flashed through his mind. Even now, he can still feel the cold touch of the Go pieces.
