If he didn't say this, although Qi Wan Jie was wary, he would still have his suspicions in this regard. But Jun Moxie had said it so straightforwardly, and it had instead reduced the little suspicions in Qi Wan Jie's heart by ninety percent, and his apprehension had increased by ninety percent!
An ordinary chess player would never dare to casually mention a chess grandmaster, just like how a top Xuan expert would never dare to blaspheme the Nine Nether First Young Master. But there was only one reason why Jun Moxie could speak of Hua Wu Cuo in such a casual tone. That was, Jun Moxie didn't really care about Hua Wu Cuo. At least, he didn't treat Hua Wu Cuo as an insurmountable existence!
If that was really the case, then what did it mean? Could it be that Mo Jun Ye's chess skills had reached such a terrifying level?!
"I believe that Brother Mo is not such a senseless person!" Qi Wan Jie's tone instantly weakened by at least thirty percent!
"Brother Qi, you don't have to be so concerned. I'm ashamed to speak of it! Back then, I competed with Hua Wu Cuo for three rounds … Haha, I was defeated by a single move … Hua Wu Cuo's chess skills are indeed worthy of being number one in history! No one can compare to him! I'm obsessed with chess, and rarely lose. I'm usually arrogant, but when I meet a true expert, I still can't escape defeat! Today, I'm fortunate to meet the chess king of Misty Mansion. I hope that Brother Qi can be like Brother Wu Cuo, and grant me a defeat! "Jun Moxie said slowly, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Qi Wan Jie was speechless, but the wariness in his eyes grew thicker and thicker!
He had actually played three rounds with Hua Wu Cuo before a victor was decided! That meant that out of the three rounds, he had at least won one round against Hua Wu Cuo! Although I've never seen Hua Wu Cuo, nor fought with him, I've studied all the records of his games. Although it's not all of them, it's at least eighty to ninety percent of them …
Hua Wu Cuo's abilities are unfathomable, and his style of playing chess is like that of a teacher, a proper steed, and would never take risks for luck. His foresight is deep, and there's no lack of meticulousness in his majesty. Otherwise, how could he have created the legend of never losing a single battle? Although I'm conceited, I admit that I'm far from this person!
But Mo Jun Ye was actually able to play against Hua Wu Cuo for three rounds, and only lost by a single move after a long battle … In other words, his chess skills were roughly equal to Hua Wu Cuo's. Even if there was a difference, it shouldn't be too big … In that case, if I were to face such an expert today, wouldn't I definitely win?
"That day, at the end of the chess game, Brother Wu Cuo said with great emotion …" Jun Mo Xie smiled reservedly, changing the way he addressed the Chess Saint from 'Elder Hua' to 'Brother Wu Cuo'. "Thousands of years will always be empty, from ancient times till today, it is just a game of chess!"
"'t t't't," Mo, on Eyes, Jie't. Qi Wan Jie murmured. Suddenly, he was sweating profusely, and his originally calm gaze became a little dazed. Because just from this poem, he could see the magnanimity and magnanimity of this Chess Saint Hua Wu Cuo!
The path of chess had an inseparable connection with one's magnanimity and magnanimity. If one's magnanimity was not broad enough, and only focused on the gains and losses of a moment, then one would never achieve much in the path of chess. But if one only focused on the big picture, and ignored the gains and losses of a moment, then one would never obtain victory …
Only with the perfect combination of these two could one truly be a top-notch chess player!
Qi Wan Jie asked himself that he was still far from reaching such a level!
Playing chess today was just a game of chess! How magnanimous was this!
"I admit that I am inferior to Elder Hua's magnanimity …" Qi Wan Jie sighed. He only felt that his confidence, which was like an iron wall, had already, intentionally or unintentionally, cracked open … Under the other party's narration that was like a trickling stream, it was slowly crumbling …
"At that time, after Elder Hua sighed, he suddenly laughed and said, 'Little Mo, this old man suddenly thought of a couplet. Since I've seen you today, let me test you. How about that?'" Jun Moxie saw that Qi Wan Jie's state of mind had already loosened and was secretly delighted. But on the surface, he maintained his composure and chased after a desperate enemy …
"May I ask what the couplet is?" Qi Wan Jie couldn't help but ask. Jun Mo Xie wasn't the only one who was curious. Everyone present couldn't help but perk up their ears. Jun Mo Xie could be said to know how to tell a story. This story had never happened before, but under his interpretation, it had unexpectedly become vivid and lifelike. Everyone present couldn't help but want to listen to it.
Everyone who heard it felt that this was something that had really happened before! Everyone's hearts were the same as Qi Wan Jie. From complete disbelief at the start, to disbelief afterwards, to half-belief, to half-doubt, and finally to absolute certainty now …
"En, at that time, I also asked Brother Wu Cuo 'what is the couplet'?" Jun Moxie revealed an expression of admiration and said, "Brother Hua said, 'Heaven as the chessboard, the stars as the chess pieces, who can play?'"
"This is the couplet!" After Jun Moxie finished speaking, he looked at the silence of the place. Everyone was frowning and thinking hard.
"Heaven as the chessboard, the stars as the chess pieces, who can play?! How magnanimous is this couplet … "Qi Wan Jie let out a long sigh, concentrating in deep thought. He had always thought highly of himself, and his life's goal was to surpass Elder Hua Wu Cuo. Now that Hua Wu Cuo had come up with a couplet, he naturally had to work hard to come up with a couplet. If he couldn't come up with a couplet, wouldn't that mean that he had no hope of catching up to Hua Wu Cuo in this lifetime?
Right now, although he was sitting in front of the chessboard, he no longer had any thoughts of victory or defeat in his heart. It could even be said that in his heart, he had completely forgotten about this match. All he was thinking about was this couplet!
Qi Wan Jie was different from Lin Qing Yin. As the Chess King of the Misty Mansion, he had his own status. Even the powerful Zhan Family could not threaten him with force. But he also had his weaknesses. Zhan Yu Shu had given him many things and promised him even more. As long as he helped the Zhan Family win against the Free and Natural Physique possessor, Mo Jun Ye, he would be able to obtain countless benefits. Those were things that he had always dreamed of.
Power, status, beauties, money … As long as he won today, Zhan Yu Shu would definitely give them to him!
These were things that ordinary people could not obtain in their entire lives! Qi Wan Jie naturally wanted them!
But speaking of what he wanted the most, it was still the highest glory of the way of chess — challenging Hua Wu Cuo and defeating Hua Wu Cuo. This was the goal and highest dream that he had pursued since he was young!
There was no room for comparison between the two at all!
There was no lack of talents present. Among them, there were many youths who were proud of their literary talents. Even the judges were frowning and mumbling to themselves. This was a couplet from the Chess Saint of this generation. And the foundation of this couplet could be said to be able to swallow the rivers and mountains, majestic and majestic. Just by hearing it, one could feel the heroic spirit in one's chest reaching the clouds, and be filled with emotions!
Heaven as the chessboard, stars as the chess pieces. Who could play?
Such a couplet, such absolute, who could come up with it casually?
Qi Wan Jie's mind wandered, his mind focused. Unknowingly, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, and his face had also turned a little pale. Among these people, he was undoubtedly the most concerned!
Because this couplet came from Hua Wu Cuo!
At this moment, he heard Mo Jun Ye sigh in shame. "I'm ashamed … that Brother Hua came up with this couplet for me. Until today, I still haven't thought of the second couplet … Sigh …" This sigh seemed to be filled with disappointment …
Qi Wan Jie's spirit jolted, and he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile. He thought to himself: If you can come up with it, then how can it show me? Only you can't come up with it, but I came up with it. This proves that I'm better than you! This proves that Hua Wu Cuo and I are on the same level, and even above you …
Hua Wu Cuo, the world calls you the Chess Saint, but I refuse to accept it! No matter what, I have to come up with the absolute couplet you've given. Just like your title of Chess Saint, sooner or later, it will belong to me, to me, Qi Wan Jie!
Qi Wan Jie racked his brains to think of this couplet, racking his brains to come up with the second couplet …
Just as he was thinking so hard that his brain was in knots, he suddenly heard a smack in front of him. Mo Jun Ye's voice said, "Brother Qi, how long do you want me to wait for? When will this game of chess start? "
Qi Wan Jie opened his eyes in a daze. Only now did he realize that he was sitting in front of the chessboard, and opposite him, that Free and Natural Physique prodigy was sitting upright and still, staring at him with a sharp gaze.
In his hand, there was even a handful of chess pieces, obviously waiting for him to guess the first move …
"What?" Qi Wan Jie asked in a daze. Right now, he still hadn't completely woken up from the contemplation of that couplet.
"Guess who goes first … Don't tell me you don't even know this?" A few black lines appeared on Jun Moxie's face, but he almost laughed out loud in his heart. Looks like this fellow's mind has already wandered off …
"Guess who goes first? … Oh, right, right, guess who goes first. "Qi Wan Jie almost subconsciously picked up a chess piece from the box and placed it on the chessboard.
Jun Moxie slowly let go of his hand, and the chess pieces in his hand fell onto the chessboard. He mumbled, "One pair, two pairs, three pairs … Exactly six pieces. Looks like I've made the first move. Brother Qi, thanks for letting me win … "
"Oh …" Qi Wan Jie was still thinking: Heaven as chessboard, stars as chess pieces, who can play? Who can play? Such absolutes, how can one come up with the second couplet? And what object can be compared to the heavens and stars? Stars as the chessboard, with heaven as the game, how to deal with it?
A crisp smack sounded by his ear. Looking over, there was already an additional black chess piece on the chessboard, landing right on the star position in the upper right corner!
The opponent had already made his move!
A sliver of clarity instantly appeared in Qi Wan Jie's mind, and he responded with a chess piece on the lower left corner almost without thinking.
With a smack, another black chess piece landed on the star position in the upper left corner!
"What kind of opening is this?" Qi Wan Jie had made a name for himself in chess for half his life, but he had never seen such a strange opening before. This position was said to be guarding the corner, but it was a little far … said to be surrounding the center, but it wasn't … said to be occupying the edge … that didn't make sense …
In the way of chess, there had always been the saying of 'golden horn, silver edge, grass belly', and the opponent's chess moves right now had completely overturned Qi Wan Jie's previous understanding.
What he didn't know was that it was one thing for him not to have seen it before, but the star position of chess pieces was the best method that Earth had only researched in the recent hundreds of years to guard the corner, watch the edge, and look at the center!
