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

"Then...shall we go?"

He Gu winked at the three of them with great interest, and they understood immediately. They quietly made their way to the stairwell, went down the stairs from the sixth floor to the fifth floor.

He Gu pushed open the ancient wooden door and went inside first.

"Look, this is the Chamber of Darkness."

Su Ran and the others followed closely behind and went inside. He Gu stood beside them and turned on the lights.

When the mysterious chamber was fully revealed to Su Ran and the others, Su Ran couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The room is decorated in a traditional Japanese style and is clean and tidy. In the center of the room, there is a chess table and cushions with an antique feel.

On the wall hangs a calligraphy copybook with the words "profound and mysterious," the handwriting as sloppy as a dragon or horse, the sharp strokes seemingly penetrating the paper.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified, sending chills down one's spine.

"Is this the Chamber of Darkness...?"

Akira Touya gazed intently into the mysterious room, his eyes gleaming.

"Playing a match here is suffocating; you have to grit your teeth, clench your fists, and fight to the death..."

"My father often fought here, using chess pieces to create a deep sense of pressure on people."

"One day, I'll be sitting here playing a game, and... who will my opponent be...?"

Akira Touya glanced at Su Ran, who looked calm and seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere of the mysterious room.

"Is that Su Ran-jun?"

"Or... Hikaru Shindo!"

"No, only Su Ran-jun!"

“Shindo is no match for me. My only opponent is Su Ran.”

Akira Touya clenched his fist.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

With a smug look on his face, He Gu put his hands on his hips and said, "Today's new first-dan league is to encourage newcomers to strive to step into this place and participate in the title match as soon as possible."

"One day, I will also be playing here."

He Gu was full of vigor and high spirits.

Beside him, Su Ran suddenly walked slowly to the center, bent down, and wanted to touch the chessboard in the Youxuan Chamber.

"Su Ran-jun!"

Seeing this, He Gu was startled and quickly pulled Su Ran back, whispering, "You can't touch this place, or the village teacher will be furious."

"is it?"

Su Ran withdrew her hand, her eyes lowered.

"I just... wanted to touch the chessboard that I'll be playing on often in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including He Gu, was stunned.

Su Ran's eyes were calm as he savored the oppressive atmosphere of the secluded room.

That kind of solemnity that compels one to brace oneself and prepare for battle.

It made his blood boil.

"Never mind, we can come back another time."

Su Ran turned around: "Let's go back."

"Oh, let's go."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded blankly.

Back in the chess room, everyone had finished reviewing the game, and some had already gone out for lunch.

"Let's go, Su Ran-kun, let's have lunch together. Touya, do you want to come too?"

Akira Touya smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, but no need, I brought a bento box."

"All right……"

Yi Jiao nodded, preparing to go to lunch with Su Ran.

“Su Ran Jun”.

Uchida suddenly walked over and stood in front of Su Ran.

"Uchida..."

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What's wrong...?"

Uchida looked conflicted, hesitated for a long time, and was finally about to give up when Kazuya looked behind Uchida and suddenly let out a strange laugh of "Oh!"

"Oh my, Su Ran is so lovable! Look, our Miss Uchida brought two bento boxes today!"

"Let me guess, is this one for Su Ran-jun?"

As he spoke, Waya jokingly snatched one of the bento boxes from Uchida's hands and held it up in the air to show off.

"Watani!"

Uchida blushed and grabbed Kazuya, who stuck out his tongue.

Seeing this, Su Ran and the others were a little confused. Only Yi Jiao was the first to react, and said with a strange smile, "Then... we won't bother you two anymore."

Su Ran immediately snapped out of her daze and said awkwardly, "How about we all go eat together and bring our lunchboxes?"

Su Ran had no choice but to forcefully drag He Gu and Isumi along, otherwise, he would be so embarrassed to eat with a girl.

Uchida, however, didn't seem to care, and exclaimed with delight, "Really? Let's go!"

Su Ran couldn't help but rub her forehead.

The three of them, along with Uchida, went to the snack shop from yesterday. According to Kazuya, it was his favorite snack shop, with the best ramen and sushi.

The atmosphere was surprisingly relaxed and not awkward at all, contrary to Su Ran's expectations.

When Uchida talks about Go, he's just like Isumi and the others. They even argue endlessly about whether to play a "pan" or a "jump" move in a previous game.

"I told you, if I had played that move in the third row, seventh column yesterday, you would have definitely lost!"

"But I can use my fingertips to keep the blockade going."

Izumi refused to admit defeat and was unwilling to back down.

He didn't seem to treat Uchida like a girl at all. To be honest, Isumi knew that although Uchida was a girl, she was indeed a formidable opponent in his professional exams.

"By the way, Su Ran, do you want to watch the new first-dan league this afternoon?"

Uchida suddenly turned to look at Su Ran.

Su Ran nodded: "I'm really curious to know just how strong Mr. Kuwabara, the holder of the Honinbo title, really is!"

A fighting spirit rose in Su Ran's eyes; every title holder would be his opponent!

……

Chapter 131 A Difficult Match! Mashiba's Determination to Hold His Ground

How strong is Professor Kuwabara?

Kazuya sighed, "I think Kuwabara-sensei definitely won't hold back. Even with a six-and-a-half-eye Joko, Yao-senpai will be utterly defeated."

"Yes, that's right."

Remembering something, Isumi mimicked Kuwabara Honinbo's manner, groggily opening her eyes: "Ah, is it over?"

Perhaps it was because Izumi's appearance was so lifelike that everyone, including Su Ran, burst into laughter.

The afternoon chess game began quickly, and Su Ran's first opponent, as usual, was quickly defeated and lost immediately.

"Next, quickly take down the second opponent so we can watch the live broadcast of the new first-dan league."

A blond-haired boy sat down in front of Su Ran.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm not that easy to deal with."

Su Ran looked up and saw that the boy in front of her was none other than the top student in Class Two, Masashi.

Su Ran nodded slightly: "Please give me your guidance."

Mashiba didn't reply, but grabbed a chess piece from the chess box: "Enough talk, let's decide who goes first."

Seeing this, Su Ran lowered her eyes, reached into the chess box, and grabbed a handful of white pieces.

"Two, four, six."

Masashi opened his hand, holding a white piece, and snatched Su Ran's black chess box.

"I'll play my second move."

Su Ran remained silent and picked up the chess box next to Mashiba.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ran took out a cold black chess piece from the chess box.

The wrist is suspended high in the air.

Then, place the chess piece down.

Nine columns and nine rows.

Tengen!

Upon seeing this move, Mashiba was shocked and his body trembled. First, he felt an uncontrollable anger, but then a feeling of joy welled up in his heart!

The joy of a successful scheme!

"It's done!"

"I've successfully provoked this guy!"

"Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to beat this bastard. I have to use a surprise attack. He's really too young. He loses his composure as soon as he's provoked."

"One-handed Heavenly Primal? Does he think he's THESAI!?"
