She would never forget the three times that Wang Chong had humiliated her. Especially the last time. As the eldest senior sister of Longwei Training Camp, she had never suffered such a loss, never suffered such humiliation.
Wang Chong had defeated this precedent!
Whether it was to avenge her humiliation or to preserve her pride and dignity as the talented daughter of the Xu Clan, Xu Yi-qin, she would not easily lose to Wang Chong.
Over the past few months, every word that Wang Chong had said had stung her deeply. No one knew what kind of effort she had put into these past few months.
During this time, she had silently endured everyone's humiliation. Whenever there was an examination in the Chess Hall, she would go and observe without fail.
Every step and move that Wang Chong had made, she had watched them carefully and remembered them clearly. Even when she returned home, she would ponder over them even when she was sleeping, pondering over every change in his moves, every minute direction.
Not only that, she, Xu Yi-qin, had always been arrogant. Even those princesses in the palace, she would not give them much face.
In terms of chess, she would never admit defeat to Wang Chong.
But this time, in order to deal with Wang Chong. In order to avenge her humiliation, she had even put down her pride and self-esteem to read through the chess books that Wang Chong had written.
From the most basic to the most advanced, she had flipped through them one by one. Even when it was snowing heavily in winter, she would study the chess books that Wang Chong had written for the students of the Chess Hall.
After several months of enduring hardships, she had finally reaped the rewards.
Her own talent, the books that Wang Chong had written, and her observation of Wang Chong's every move … had finally allowed her to completely understand Wang Chong's chess moves and thoughts, and she had even come up with a way to restrain him.
The current Wang Chong was no longer mysterious in her eyes!
She wanted Wang Chong to suffer a crushing defeat in front of the students who worshipped him the most.
"Wang Chong, it's your turn!"
Xu Yi-qin lifted her gaze, her aura overbearing.
"Good job, Miss!"
The eyes of the hidden servant girl from the Xu Clan lit up when she saw this, and she clenched her fists in excitement.
Wang Chong was the only one who remained calm. With a chuckle, he placed his white chess piece on an unexpected spot on the board. Not only did he block Xu Yi-qin's attack, but he also switched from defense to offense, launching an attack on Xu Yi-qin.
"Good move!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this. As expected of the Young Master. It wouldn't be easy for Xu Yi-qin to defeat the Young Master.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so smug!"
Without waiting for the crowd to cheer, Xu Yi-qin extended two slender fingers and placed the fifth black stone on the board.
This move was aimed at Wang Chong's fourth stone. Not only did it restrain Wang Chong's moves and nullify Wang Chong's previous efforts to organize the game, it also placed Wang Chong in a disadvantageous position.
The Chess Hall fell silent once more.
Xu Yi-qin's swift and fierce attack was like an invisible hand, blocking the throats of the crowd. The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Even the most careless of people realized that the Xu Yi-qin in front of them was completely different from before. At the very least, she was not as easy to bully as they had imagined.
For this game to end quickly and for Wang Chong to easily defeat her would not be an easy task.
The sixth stone, Xu Yi-qin, went straight for the center.
The seventh stone, Xu Yi-qin's black stone, landed in the upper left corner of Wang Chong's board.
The eighth stone, Xu Yi-qin, landed in the center of Wang Chong's board.
… …
Her playing style became more and more aggressive, the speed at which she placed her stones became faster and faster, and her aim became more and more focused. No matter how muddle-headed one was, even those with the lowest attainments in chess could tell that Xu Yi-qin had studied Wang Chong and his playing style.
Her playing style, while maintaining Wang Chong's ferocious and fierce playing style, also restrained Wang Chong's playing style to the extreme.
In short, no matter who saw it, her playing style was specially designed to restrain Wang Chong.
"This is a little troublesome!"
In the crowd, Wei Anfang and The Eagle both frowned. The others looked at Xu Yi-qin in a completely different light.
The feeling that Wang Chong gave the crowd was the same as before, but Xu Yi-qin had become stronger.
Ever since they knew Wang Chong, this was the first time they had seen someone play Go with Wang Chong like this, and even gain the upper hand.
"Buzz!"
The board was still divided. Although Xu Yi-qin's attacks were fierce, Wang Chong's counterattacks were equally terrifying.
The sixth stone directly cut off Xu Yi-qin's attack.
The seventh stone broke Xu Yi-qin's combination of stones.
The eighth stone hit Xu Yi-qin's center for the second time.
… …
This was the first time the crowd had seen such an intense game. Whether it was Wang Chong or Xu Yi-qin, the two were like the sharpest swords, cutting at each other's fatal spots.
The two seemed to completely ignore defense, taking an extremely aggressive stance.
Hiss!
Unknowingly, everyone held their breath, attracted by the intense art of Go. Go was like the art of war, and that was the case on the battlefield. Without a strong opponent, one side would have the overwhelming advantage.
That kind of battle was called encirclement and annihilation, not a battle.
But if the opponent was an opponent and the general met a talent, then it would be a completely different grand scene. That kind of battle would no longer be called a battle, but a sublimated art, the "art of war."
What Wang Chong and Xu Yi-qin were displaying in front of the crowd was this kind of art.
That intense battle had completely attracted everyone's attention. Many people who had learned a bit of Go and the art of war for the sake of Spirit Vein cultivation suddenly realized that Go could be like this.
Although they played Go every day, compared to Wang Chong, it was the same board, the same pieces, but the two sides seemed to be playing a completely different game.
Everyone was attracted and conquered by the art of Go displayed by Wang Chong and Xu Yi-qin.
Clatter clatter!
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the match between Wang Chong and Xu Yi-qin, the intense match finally reached its first critical moment.
"Wang Chong, you've lost!"
Accompanied by a clattering sound, a jade-like hand reached out and picked up the three white pieces on the chessboard, sweeping the first wave of white pieces on the chessboard into the chess box.
At this point in the match, Xu Yi-qin had finally taken the initiative and taken Wang Chong's piece.
Just this point alone showed that Xu Yi-qin's Go skill had already surpassed the entire Qiyuan, including everyone beneath Wang Chong.
No one had ever done this before.
"The one who laughs last laughs best. Xu Chong, don't you think it's too early to talk about victory and defeat? "
Wang Chong looked at the gleeful Xu Yi-qin and smiled.
It had to be said that, other than War God So Jung-son, Xu Yi-qin was the most formidable opponent Wang Chong had ever faced in Go.
Her talent was so high that Wang Chong had never seen it before. Even Marchioness Yi would probably pale in comparison to her.
Even though he had placed many chess records and explanations on the art of war in the Qiyuan, it wasn't the first time these things had been there.
The fact that Xu Yi-qin was able to raise her skills to this level through self-study was truly astonishing!
"Hmph, if you can take three of your pieces, then you can take thirty of your pieces, perhaps even more! You're bound to lose this match. You'd better think about how you're going to admit defeat in front of everyone! I can't wait to hear you say those words and admit that your skills are inferior to mine! "
Xu Yi-qin said proudly. Even though she was still using the fake identity of 'Xu Chong', she couldn't wait to see the look on Wang Chong's face when he lost to her.
"I have to admit that you've improved greatly. But even so, you're still far from being able to defeat me. If this is all you've got, it'll be very difficult for you to defeat me. Don't forget, if you lose, you have to agree to a condition of mine! "
Wang Chong chuckled. His expression was carefree and confident.
"Still so stubborn!"
Xu Yi-qin cursed as she glanced at the chessboard. No matter how she looked at it, Wang Chong was at a disadvantage. The situation was already like this, and with so many people watching, yet Wang Chong was still able to say such words. Xu Yi-qin had to give in.
But the more Wang Chong acted this way, the more unconvinced Xu Yi-qin was, and the more she wanted to win. She had already lost many times in the Qiyuan.
Her strong self-esteem made her want to defeat Wang Chong openly no matter what and win once and for all.
"Hmph, don't worry. If you want to lose, it'll be easy. I'll definitely let you have your wish! "
Xu Yi-qin's face was as cold as ice. She grabbed a black stone and placed it on Wang Chong's center without a word.
Thirty stones, thirty-one stones, thirty-two stones …
On the chessboard, Wang Chong's situation was getting worse and worse. Xu Yi-qin's attacks were also getting stronger and stronger. The black and white stones were like black and white dragons crisscrossing on the chessboard, biting and biting at each other.
At a glance, one could only feel danger and danger at every step.
Even The Eagle, who hadn't been paying much attention, was drawn in by the game between the two.
On the thirty-eighth move, Wang Chong had finally taken two of Xu Yi-qin's stones, but Xu Yi-qin had won even more.
But no matter how much he lost, Wang Chong's expression remained calm, not the slightest bit flustered. Even the arrogant Xu Yi-qin couldn't help but admire him.
On the fortieth move, a stone landed on the edge of the chessboard on Wang Chong's side, a seemingly unimportant edge.
However, it was this seemingly casual move that caused a huge change in the chess game that had been in a stalemate for a long time.
The calm and collected Wang Chong also trembled when Xu Yi-qin made this move, and his expression suddenly changed.
Swish!
Almost reflexively, Wang Chong raised his head and looked at Xu Yi-qin.
This move was definitely not one of his routines. Xu Yi-qin's move was definitely not one of his moves. It was a completely new style of chess.
Wang Chong took another look at the chessboard.
On the huge chessboard, a small black stone lay between the two white dragons. Although the black stone was small, it was like a towering mountain, firmly separating the two dragons on the left and right of Wang Chong.
"Good move!"
Even though he had been called the War Sage in his previous life, Wang Chong couldn't admit that Xu Yi-qin's move was extremely good. It was completely ingenious.
"It finally appeared!"
