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

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

For the first time, a look of emotion appeared on Touya Kouyo's usually calm and composed face!

"Gao Mu?"

Touya Kouyou recalled Su Ran's previous change of tactics when facing Touya Akira.

Twentieth move!

Facing Akira Touya's sharp step.

Su Ran chose row 15, column 7, and jumped!

What Touya Kouhiro saw was far more than what these Go fans saw.

Su Ran's move was brilliant.

And the previous jump.

"Wonderful!"

Suddenly, Touya Kouhiro spoke up: "It's been three years, Su Ran... I know there's something that's been puzzling you for three years, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran was suddenly jolted!

Then.

He nodded subconsciously.

Everyone looked toward the tall man in a kimono behind Akira Toya.

The man who holds all the titles—tenth dan, throne, and celebrity—is Touya Kouyo!

"I'll be waiting for you at the Tianyuan Chess Saint Tournament in three months."

Touya Kouhiro lowered his eyes, looking down at the young boy in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.

The entire chess room was completely silent.

They couldn't believe their ears.

"what happened?"

"Touya... Touya Meijin said he was waiting for this boy named Su Ran at the Tengen Tournament?"

"Judging from what the celebrities said, it seems they knew each other before?"

"How is that possible? How did they meet? And why are they so certain that this young man will make it to the finals of the Tianyuan Tournament and challenge for the supreme throne title of the Meijin?"

"This is incredible! A twelve-year-old boy from China has actually gained the approval of Touya Naruto..."

The Battle of Tengen!

Kisei Tournament, Meijin Tournament, Honinbo Tournament, Tengen Tournament, Oza Tournament, Gosei Tournament, Judan Tournament!

The seven major Go tournaments in Yingzhou are currently underway.

For many people, being able to participate in these seven major Go tournaments is already the highest honor!

And then, after making it to the finals, he'll meet Touya Kouhiro...

That is a desire that countless chess players wouldn't even dare to dream of!

But now...

However, Touya Kouhiro personally asserted that Su Ran possessed this strength!

This……

After finishing his speech, Touya Kouhiro surprisingly stopped watching the game and turned to leave the Go clubhouse.

"What exactly happened?"

Watching Touya Kouhiro's retreating figure, the people in the chess room looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

Chapter Thirty-One: That leap was truly a masterpiece!

"Four columns and five rows... High-level?"

Sai stared intently at the high-scoring move on the board. Instantly, all the previous moves began to flash back in his mind like a movie replay.

An ancient custom originating from China.

White one small flying hook, two sharp rushes...

Sixteen out of eight are pasted, fifteen out of seven are pointed.

And that move, seven out of fifteen, the jump!

And then there's the astonishingly high-minded one!

As all the scenes flashed through his mind, even with Sai's extraordinary Go skills, he was still deeply shocked.

"I see, Su Ran...you have great insight."

Sai gently closed his folding fan, gazing admiringly at this masterful hand.

"Jump...higher. If all of this...was already under your control...just how profound must your computing power be..."

"Unbelievable, a boy who is only twelve years old can actually..."

"Such an unprecedented and astonishing masterpiece!"

"Sai?"

Looking at Sai's expression, Hikaru Shindo asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

Sai did not respond, seemingly still immersed in Su Ran's stunningly beautiful move, unable to extricate himself.

He remained silent for a long time.

Sai raised his head and looked at Akira Touya, who was already covered in sweat and didn't know how to make a move, opposite Su Ran.

"Xiao Guang, do you still remember that young man from the Tang Dynasty named Su Ran, and his 7/15 jump?"

Jump?

Hikaru Shindo was puzzled for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... the twentieth move?"

That jump left a deep impression on Hikaru Shindo, and even now, he still can't understand it.

why.

Despite having a significant advantage, Kuroko suddenly gave away a large portion of his strength to Akira Touya.

"After the white pieces force that group of black pieces to their deaths, stabilizing their own position should... guarantee a victory, right?"

Hikaru Shindo asked hesitantly.

He was too young and had just started playing Go, so he couldn't understand the relationship between stones and influence at all.

Sai seemed to see through Hikaru Shindo's thoughts and gently shook his head: "Akira, do you think Shirako is willing to play passively?"

"Is not it?"

Hikaru Shindo was filled with doubt.

"Of course not. Black sacrifices its pieces to gain a faster speed than white."

"How do you explain it? It's probably like this: on the battlefield between the white and black pieces, the black pieces voluntarily abandoned a major town where a large army was stationed."

"While the white pieces were clearing out the black pieces, the black pieces had already launched a fierce attack from all directions on the white pieces. At this time, the white pieces simply did not have enough time to rush over and defend."

"This is the power!"

"Therefore, the bitter consequence of White capturing Black's stones is that it will be trapped in a long and arduous defensive position, unable to move."

"White piece, hold on, and you'll win."

"Black must act swiftly and decisively, launching an attack by any means necessary to break through White's solid defenses. Otherwise, defeat is inevitable."

"Otherwise, how could this young man named Akira Touya, a Go player, be content to be controlled by others at every turn?"

"Chess players are proud."

Hikaru Shindo listened silently to Sai's words, as if he were on a battlefield in the ancient Warring States period, where smoke and fire rose everywhere and blood flowed like rivers.

"Go... I feel like they are fighting on a battlefield."

Hikaru Shindo stared blankly at Su Ran's high-eyed gaze.

"You really understood it, Hikaru."

Sai smiled with satisfaction and looked at the game with a hint of amazement.

"Xiao Guang, you have a talent for chess, but perhaps it doesn't belong to this young man from the Tang Dynasty."

"Eh, me?" Hikaru Shindo mistakenly thought Sai was trying to comfort him, and touched his nose: "I... I can't do it anymore."

"As long as you want to play chess, you definitely can. I believe in Xiaoguang."

Sai chuckled softly:

"Xiao Guang, did you see Hei Zi's high-scoring move? All of this young man's moves after the jump, all his fierce attacks, were to maintain his momentum! For that final high-scoring move!"

"Building momentum?"

Hikaru Shindo stood behind Su Ran, gazing intently at the chessboard.

"That high-level move connected all of Black's attacks together, and the high-level move was the clarion call to launch the attack!"

"No wonder, no wonder I felt his chess skills were far beyond this. Why couldn't I find the weakness of that boy named Akira Touya, time and time again?"

"Touya Akira, this young man, has a solid strategy, but he is too young after all, and has made many mistakes under the fierce offensive of this young man from the Tang Dynasty."

Is her name Su Ran?

Sai muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and said in disbelief, "Unbelievable, he had already discovered it all along. He... Su Ran, had already kept quiet and had laid a trap!"

"It's hard to imagine that, amidst such a fierce and relentless offensive and a relentless struggle, he still had the mind to build up his strength for over sixty sharp exchanges."

"Thirty-odd moves of sharp confrontation, was it all just to build up momentum? For that final, brilliant move?"

"What bold creativity and boundless imagination!"
