"Thank you, Gongzi!"
That student did not think much of it. He bowed repeatedly to Wang Chong's back and left happily. He had thought that he had no hope this time, but he had actually passed.
"Go for it!"
Wang Chong did not turn back. He waved his hand at the student. Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses, and while playing chess with that student, Wang Chong had long ago discovered that he possessed a tenacity that allowed him to display extraordinary strength.
When you thought that he would lose, he did lose. But it was not what you thought. He definitely lasted a lot longer than you expected.
That was why Wang Chong had confidently asked Xu Yi-qin how many points he had lost in the end.
A moment later, the second person to pass appeared.
"Congratulations, you passed!"
Wang Chong smiled at a joyous student from Longwei Training Camp.
"Thank you, Gongzi! Thank you, Gongzi! "
That student nodded repeatedly.
"Are you kidding me? He could even pass it! He doesn't even know how to play Go! This guy doesn't even know the simplest rules of Go. "
It was one thing for Wang Chong to pass the first one, but seeing that Wang Chong had passed the second one as well, Xu Qiqin could no longer hold back her rage.
She felt that Wang Chong was purposely making things difficult for her.
She had played with this guy before. Most of the time, he did not even understand the scale of the game. She had to remind him before he would know. And every time, he would laugh foolishly. It was infuriating.
It was fine if other people passed, but if Wang Chong did not give her a convincing reason, she would not be able to accept it.
This was simply messing around!
"Hehe, you only saw him play randomly. Do you really think that he doesn't know? Lin Changting, recite the rules of Go to him. "
Wang Chong waved his hand.
Lin Changting looked at Wang Chong, his eyes filled with doubt.
Xu Yi-qin was right. He had never played Go before. Therefore, it was not wrong for Xu Yi-qin to say that he did not know how to play the game. What really surprised him was Wang Chong. Wang Chong was so sure that he knew the rules of Go and could recite them.
"This … yes, Young Master!"
Although Lin Changting was surprised, he quickly recited it. A long paragraph of Go chants flowed out of his mouth without any hesitation.
Xu Qiqin's eyes finally revealed a look of surprise when she heard this long paragraph of over a thousand words of Go chants. She had played with this guy before, and he made her feel like a fool.
However, even some students with good Go skills might not be able to recite such a long paragraph of Go chants. However, the fool in his eyes actually recited it so smoothly!
This made Xu Yi-qin's jaw drop.
His appearance before and after were like clouds and mud, as if he was a completely different person.
She couldn't believe that the same person could be so different from her and Wang Chong! Moreover, how did Wang Chong see through it?
"It's not that he doesn't know how to play, it's just that he hasn't come into contact with Go for a long time. His thoughts are unconventional, and he's not restricted by the rules of Go. He hopes to take an unconventional path and come up with a unique method to defeat his opponent. But because he hasn't dabbled in Go for a long time, he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't have anyone to guide him. That's why he looks like a fool in the eyes of others, not even knowing the rules of Go.
"Actually, this is the 'Art of Surprise' of the Art of War. I'm afraid that even he doesn't know this. Lin Changting, come to my room to look for me after this matter is over. I have something for you. "
Wang Chong said.
This Lin Changting's talent wasn't inferior to Sun Zhiming's. If he was nurtured well, he might become the new 'Twin Paragons of the Empire' of the Tang Dynasty.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Lin Changting was overjoyed. He had only wanted to pass the test, but he hadn't expected to receive Wang Chong's recognition. This was truly an unexpected reward.
"Hmph! What 'Surprise' or 'Proper' again? Don't try to fool me! "
Xu Yi-qin retorted indignantly.
She couldn't understand a single word that Wang Chong had said. Even now, she felt that Wang Chong's' Surprise 'or' Proper 'was something that he had purposely made up to humiliate her.
— — If it was really that formidable, given her background, how could she have never heard of it?
"Hehe!"
Wang Chong chuckled, not bothering to explain. Xu Yi-qin was wrong. Regardless of whether it was the first or the second student, Wang Chong wasn't lying.
These examinees did indeed have some potential. If they were nurtured well, they would become the brightest generals of the empire.
In his previous life, the reason why the Tang Dynasty only had a hundred generals was because they didn't have enough discerning talent scouts.
But in this world, who could be more insightful and able to teach them better than him, the supreme War Saint, the Supreme Marshal of the Central Plains in his previous life?
In the Three Great Training Camps, Longwei, Shenwei, and Kunwu, he was actually the supreme 'instructor', just that no one knew about it.
The match continued. Even though two people had passed, a large number of people had still been eliminated. From this aspect, Xu Yi-qin's words weren't wrong.
Deflecting Blade Manor had just been established, and the chess skills of many of the examinees were nothing to scoff at.
But Wang Chong's original intention wasn't to turn all of them into chess experts. Rather, he wanted to use this method to create that kind of atmosphere.
Through the art of chess, he wanted to nurture their appreciation for the art of war.
Even if these people couldn't become generals. But as long as they displayed even the slightest bit of proficiency in the art of war, when they entered the army in the future, they would all become lieutenants, commandants, deputy generals …
Just think about it, with hundreds or even thousands of these basic troops who were well-versed in the art of war, the Tang Dynasty would be invincible!
Wang Chong's ultimate goal was to create such a valiant and skilled military officer who was well-versed in the art of war!
And Deflecting Blade Manor was the best cradle for grooming such an officer.
Time slowly passed, and Xu Yi-qin's situation was already 'hanging by a thread'. The heavy sword was edgeless, and the great technique was useless. Wang Chong's' grand master 'swept through the chessboard, almost sweeping away all of Xu Yi-qin's chess pieces.
On the chessboard, Wang Chong didn't use any special methods at all. Every move he made was methodical, and Xu Yi-qin could see it clearly.
But it was precisely this ordinary chessboard that had forced Xu Yi-qin into desperate straits.
Xu Yi-qin's face was pale, and beads of sweat were forming on her forehead. This was a sign of intense mental strain. Every move of Wang Chong's seemed to exhaust all of her mental energy.
"Congratulations, you've passed! Alright, that's all for today. The list of those who have passed has been released. I hope that you'll work harder next time and pass the examination! "
Wang Chong's voice suddenly sounded by her ear. Upon hearing this voice, Xu Yi-qin finally couldn't hold back her anger any longer.
"Wang Chong! What do you mean by this? "
Xu Yi-qin raised her head and flew into a rage.
"What do you mean by the list of those who have passed has been released? Are you saying that I didn't pass?"
All of the dissatisfaction in her heart exploded.
While she was still playing, Wang Chong had already announced the list of those who had passed. Didn't that mean that she hadn't passed? Everyone here, from the examiners to the examinees, had been defeated by her one by one. Could it be that she was inferior to these ordinary examinees?
"Hehe, don't you know? Take a look at the chess jar beside you. How many chess pieces are there? "
Wang Chong wasn't angry at all.
"What chess pieces …"
Xu Yi-qin was at the peak of her anger. But in the next moment, she touched the chess pieces in the jar beside her. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head. Xu Yi-qin's entire body froze, and she suddenly couldn't say anything.
The black chess jar beside her was empty. There were only four or five chess pieces left.
— — Wang Chong was right. This round had indeed ended.
"Take a look at the other jar beside you. How many white chess pieces are there?"
Wang Chong said.
Her heart calmed down. Xu Yi-qin didn't need to turn her head to know that the other jar must be empty as well. In this round, Wang Chong's chess moves were steady and steady. But for some unknown reason, the pressure he gave off was unbelievably huge.
In this round, Xu Yi-qin actually didn't manage to eat any of his chess pieces.
Her gaze swept over the chessboard. Xu Yi-qin felt bitter in her heart.
On the vast chessboard, the center was almost entirely occupied by Wang Chong's white chess pieces. Only a few corners and scattered spots were occupied by her black chess pieces. It looked extremely pitiful.
In that instant, Xu Yi-qin vaguely understood something.
Clatter clatter!
Wang Chong didn't say anything. He picked up the black chess pieces in his other chess box and poured them in front of Xu Yi-qin.
"Take a look for yourself. See if there are a hundred chess pieces here. You've lost more than you've eaten. You've basically suffered a crushing defeat. In fact, you've lost even more than some examinees! The Chess Hall has its own rules. — — You can't pass this round! "
Wang Chong said indifferently.
Xu Yi-qin's face turned from red to white, from white to red, and finally became deathly pale. Only at the very last moment did she realize that she had lost again, and even more miserably than the last time.
Xu Yi-qin's lips trembled. As proud as she was, how could she bear this kind of blow?
"Keep working hard! Even though I feel that your aptitude isn't suitable for the Chess Hall! "
Wang Chong said indifferently, his hands clasped behind his back.
It was this sentence that infuriated Xu Qiqin.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire Chess Hall trembled. In front of Wang Chong, Xu Yi-qin stretched out her fist and smashed the chessboard and the table in front of her into smithereens.
Wood splinters flew everywhere!
In front of Xu Yi-qin, these incomparably hard tables and chairs made of cedar wood were like paper, and countless wooden fibers were even shaken off.
Xu Yi-qin's strength was so great that even after the cedar table was smashed to pieces, its four legs still embedded deep into the floor.
"Bastard!"
Xu Yi-qin finally exploded, her furious voice ringing through the entire Chess Hall. She couldn't care less anymore. Even if her identity was exposed today, she would teach Wang Chong a good lesson.
