The Northern Sea Go Master and the Southern Sea Go Master were working hard on solving the Go puzzles before them. Suddenly, a voice projection reached their ears.
The two's expressions changed as they looked up.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Master, do you need anything?"
…
…
…
The group of disciples asked out of curiosity. However, the two Go masters ignored them. Instead, they turned their heads to look at Gu Hai.
Earlier, the two had been very focused on playing Go. They had not even bothered to look at Gu Hai's arrival. Now that they heard the Ninth Young Master's voice projection, they immediately abandoned what they were doing.
Five more Go puzzles appeared before Gu Hai. However, Gu Hai was not in a rush to solve them. Instead, he carefully examined each Go puzzle and slowly placed a Go stone.
Slowly, the two Go masters of the Northern Sea and the Southern Sea walked over to Gu Hai.
The group of disciples and servants felt curious. However, the two Go masters ignored them. Before the thousand-odd cultivators that Gu Hai brought, the two walked over to Gu Hai's Go puzzles.
Everyone looked at the two Go masters strangely. Gu Hai also looked up at the two.
"Mr. Goode!" the Southern Sea Go Master greeted Solemnly.
"Greetings, Mr. Goode!" the Northern Sea Go Master also greeted Solemnly.
The two were from the Yuanying State, while Gu Hai was only in the Innate Realm. Their politeness confused the surrounding cultivators.
Is Gu Hai already so famous? Indeed, he knows the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array and killed countless First Song Sect disciples. However, he is still weaker than the Yuanying State.
The two were not respectful to Gu Hai because of his reputation but because the Ninth Young Master valued Gu Hai. Naturally, the two could tell that the Ninth Young Master valued Gu Hai more than them.
"Oh? Southern Sea Go Master, Northern Sea Go Master? May I know what advice the two of you have? "Gu Hai asked doubtfully.
"I wouldn't dare to give you any advice. I'm just interested in playing Go with Mr. Goode!" The South Sea Go Master Solemnly said.
Solemnly, the Northern Sea Go Master also said, "Same here. Please enlighten me, Mr. Goode!"
"Huh?"
"Southern Sea Chess Master, Northern Sea Chess Master, are you challenging Mr. Goode?"
"That can't be. The two Go masters have been famous for a long time. Challenging Gu Hai?"
…
…
…
The surrounding xiuzhe revealed surprised expressions.
Not far away, Ding Dong, who had not gone far, also revealed a trace of surprise.
The Southern Sea Chess Master and the Northern Sea Chess Master had appeared strangely, and now, they were challenging Gu Hai for no apparent reason?
Should he report this to his aunt?
Ding Dong didn't go far. Instead, he looked around.
Not far away, the Life Slaughterer Go Master also stopped playing. He sat in the distance and looked over curiously. A black-robed man sat beside the Life Slaughterer Go Master. This person seemed to be a woman. She hugged the Life Slaughterer Go Master's arm, appearing fearful.
The Life Slaughterer Go Master comforted the black-robed woman before continuing to look in Gu Hai's direction.
Gu Hai stared at the two Go masters, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He tried to figure out the two's intentions.
The two of them looked at him, their eyes filled with a monstrous battle intent, mixed with a trace of anxiety.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Gentlemen, how about this? We are both solving the Go puzzles here. I solved one-hundred-odd Go puzzles earlier and discovered that the difficulty of each Go puzzle is about the same. How about we compete with this Go puzzle?"
"Alright!"
"Please!"
The two Go masters said in satisfaction.
Gu Hai nodded and ignored them. He placed the five Go puzzles before him and continued solving them.
When the two Go masters saw Gu Hai's performance, they imitated him and got their disciples to place five Go puzzles before them. They did not look at the Go puzzles, waiting for Gu Hai to finish.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Soon, Gu Hai solved his five Go puzzles. Some cultivators quickly went to help Gu Hai retrieve the five Go puzzles.
"Mr. Goode, do you need to rest?" the Southern Sea Go Master asked.
"There's no need. Let's begin!" Gu Hai smiled faintly.
"Alright!" the Northern Sea Go Master and the Southern Sea Go Master answered.
They immediately looked at the five Go puzzles.
Gu Hai was not disturbed. He continued at the same speed as before, figuring out the state of the Go puzzles. He was not doing this purely to solve the Go puzzles. The speed at which he solved the Go puzzles was very uniform.
Clack! Clack! Clack! "…!"
However, the Southern Sea Chess Master and Northern Sea Chess Master were extremely anxious. One after another, they solved five Go puzzles at the same time. It was indeed much more difficult than playing one game at a time. However, if the two of them wanted to win, they were more anxious in placing their Go pieces. The earlier Go pieces were placed more quickly, and the later Go pieces required more brain power.
The two placed their Go puzzles anxiously. Many of the surrounding cultivators watched anxiously.
"This is a good thing!" Ding Dong smiled from afar.
Five minutes later:
Clack!
The Southern Sea Go Master solved a Go puzzle.
Clack!
The Northern Sea Go Master solved a Go puzzle.
Gu Hai continued unhurriedly placing Go puzzles.
The two Go masters each solved a Go puzzle. They felt incredibly excited as they continued to look at the other four Go puzzles, continuously placing Go puzzles.
As the two Go masters placed their Go puzzles, sweat appeared on their foreheads. After all, the more they played, the more difficult the Go puzzles became.
In the end, playing in a hurry had its effects. However, after solving four Go puzzles and one Go puzzle remained, Gu Hai still had not solved a Go puzzle.
Continue!
The two Go masters did their best to solve the final Go puzzle.
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"
Gu Hai slowly placed five Go puzzles.
"Mr. Goode solved all five Go puzzles at the same time!" someone exclaimed.
Clack! Clack! The two Go masters placed their Go puzzles one after another.
"The Southern Sea Go Master solved his Go puzzles. The Northern Sea Go Master also solved his Go puzzles!"
The three solved five Go puzzles at nearly the same time.
The Dragon Pinning Sect disciples handed over spirit stones, and the other cultivators quickly handed over five Go puzzles to the three competing Go puzzles.
The Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master immersed themselves in the Go puzzles again. However, Gu Hai looked at the two, finding this situation increasingly strange. Why are these two competing with me? They are covered in sweat.
Shaking his head, Gu Hai continued looking at the five Go puzzles before him.
"Which of the three do you think will win?"
"The Southern Sea Go Master? His attacks are the fiercest! "
"I think the Northern Sea Go Master will solve the Go puzzles the most thoroughly!"
"No, I think it will be Mr. Goode. He is the calmest!"
…
…
…
In a small pavilion not far away, the Ninth Young Master narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Young Master, can the Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master win?" a subordinate asked out of curiosity.
"Those two have already lost!" the Ninth Young Master sighed and shook his head.
"Ah? This is just the beginning? "
"Yes, it's just the beginning. But look at the expressions of the three of them. The Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master are working so hard, sweating profusely. Look at Gu Hai. From start to end, his expression has not changed at all! "the Ninth Young Master said indifferently.
"But …"
"The Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master are only looking at the form and not the meaning. Gu Hai's earlier words already showed that the difficulty of these Go puzzles is not high. This shows that he has already seen the Go intent!" the Ninth Young Master said indifferently.
"Go intent?"
"In the end, the three thousand Go puzzles are just a Go puzzle. The two Go masters have yet to comprehend the Go puzzles and are working hard for nothing! That Gu Hai is at ease. Although he is solving the Go puzzles, his focus is on comprehending this Go puzzle. What strong comprehension ability! "the Ninth Young Master said.
All of his subordinates were at a loss.
"Just watch. Gu Hai will continue solving the Go puzzles. As for the Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master …" The Ninth Young Master narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, Gu Hai remained calm and composed. However, the two Go masters found it increasingly difficult and painful to play. It would be fine if they played slowly. However, this was a competition. They could not slow down. They could only play faster!
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!
Gu Hai played and solved five Go puzzles at the same time.
The two Go masters placed their Go stones and finally solved five Go puzzles later than Gu Hai.
"Continue!" the Northern Sea Go Master said anxiously.
They immediately continued solving the Go puzzles.
Everyone stared at the Go puzzles, watching this fierce battle.
Just like that, ten hours passed.
In ten hours, Gu Hai solved two hundred Go puzzles. The Southern Sea Go Master and the Northern Sea Go Master also solved two hundred Go puzzles each.
"Did you notice that Mr. Goode plays the same Go stone at the same speed every time? The number of Go stones he plays is the same for every Go puzzle?" someone exclaimed.
"Ah? Yes, that seems to be the case. He plays all five Go puzzles at the same time and at the same pace? "
"That seems to be the case. How can Mr. Goode play so evenly?"
…
…
…
The surrounding cultivators looked at Gu Hai in shock.
At this moment, the Northern Sea Go Master and the Southern Sea Go Master appeared somewhat dazed. The Go stones in their hands trembled as if they were mentally and physically exhausted.
"Master, don't play anymore!"
"Master, let's not play anymore!"
…
…
…
The two Go masters' disciples were anxious.
"Scram!"
"Shut up!"
The two Go masters roared at their disciples and continued playing with all their might.
The surrounding cultivators could see Gu Hai's advantage. Clearly, the scales of victory were already tipping in Gu Hai's favor.
The happiest person was Ding Dong. Six hundred Go puzzles. In this competition, he solved six hundred Go puzzles. It was too fast. If this continued, would he …?
Pfft!
Suddenly, the Northern Sea Go Master vomited a mouthful of blood on the Go board.
"Master!"
Pfft!
The Southern Sea Go Master also vomited a mouthful of blood on the Go board.
"Master!"
The group of disciples immediately rushed over anxiously.
The two Go masters were mentally and physically exhausted. They vomited blood, looking like lamps that had run out of oil.
Suddenly, Gu Hai stopped playing Go stones. He frowned as he looked at the two Go masters and asked, "Are the two of you alright?"
The Northern Sea Go Master smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Goode, good Go skills!"
"Playing Go is a joyous thing. The two of you should not put the cart before the horse. Many thanks for going easy on the two of you! "Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Gu Hai, who do you think you are? Do you think you are qualified to educate our master? "the disciples of both sides immediately rebuked.
"Shut up!" the Northern Sea Go Master and the Southern Sea Go Master shouted.
The group of disciples glared at Gu Hai.
"But, Master …" the group of disciples said anxiously.
"Your disciples are just unable to swallow this insult. Gu Hai could have defeated you long ago, but he delayed until now, until you vomited blood!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two Go masters.
"Huh?" Everyone looked over.
They saw a white-clad young master holding a folding fan slowly walking over. A group of gray-clad subordinates followed behind him.
The expressions of the Northern Sea Go Master and the Southern Sea Go Master changed. Just as they were about to stand up and welcome him, the white-clad young master waved his hand and stopped the two from standing up, preventing them from speaking.
Gu Hai stared at the white-clad young master before him. Based on the expressions of the two Go masters, could this white-clad young master be the one who instigated them to challenge me?
"Mr. Goode, this humble one has some knowledge of Go. If you do not mind, how about we have a match? Consider it giving me a chance to help the two Go masters regain some face, "the white-clad young master said with a smile.
The surrounding cultivators revealed strange expressions as they looked at the white-clad young master. Who is this person? Where did he come from? What arrogance! Is he trying to stand up for the two Go masters?
"If you want to play Go, this Gu welcomes you. However, how should I address you?" Gu Hai asked out of curiosity.
"This humble one is Guan Jiu!" the white-clad young master replied with a smile.
Guan Jiu? The surrounding cultivators frowned in thought. Who is Guan Jiu? They have never heard of such a person in the Thousand Islands Sea.
