At Wang Chong's level, there were very few chess moves that could catch his eye. However, this move of Xu Yi-qin's had definitely reached this level.
Moreover, although Wang Chong had never seen this move of Xu Yi-qin's before, it was not unfamiliar to him.
I didn't think that after reading my chess book, she would be able to fuse her expertise in logistics with the art of war and chess so quickly.
Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The art of commerce was the art of war, the art of chess was the art of war, and the art of war was interlinked with everything. 'Mastering one method is equivalent to mastering all methods' was not just an empty saying.
When one reached a higher level, one's vision and outlook would change, and many things would be interlinked.
Back then, Xu Yi-qin was renowned for her logistics skills. Whether it was cavalry, infantry, or archers, no matter how mobile, Xu Yi-qin was always able to deliver weapons, armaments, and rations to the troops in a timely manner.
If the pieces in the middle of the chessboard were regarded as regular troops on the battlefield, and the pieces at the edge of the chessboard were regarded as logistical troops, then Xu Yi-qin's black piece was precisely the sword that cut off Wang Chong's logistical source, splitting Wang Chong's regular troops and logistical troops.
At Wang Chong's peak, he was known as the War Saint, surpassing all the generals and commanders of the past. The tens of thousands of troops he led were also elites, but without logistical support, he was also forced into a dead end.
Thus, he felt this set of moves the most.
Although Xu Yi-qin had not yet reached the same level of fame and prestige as his previous life, she had already faintly comprehended the principles of the Xu clan's logistics skills and fused them into the art of war, faintly showing signs of being the 'King of Logistics'.
— — This level of intelligence and talent was truly astonishing. Even as a War Saint, Wang Chong had to admit that Xu Yi-qin's chess skills were very troublesome.
"How is it? Why aren't you saying anything now? Aren't you very good? "
Xu Yi-qin sneered, not letting go of this opportunity to ridicule Wang Chong.
If it could be said that Wang Chong had been resisting with all his might before, and the distance between the two of them wasn't big, then now, after this move, Wang Chong's disadvantage was instantly widened, and it was very obvious.
"I have nothing to say. This move of yours is indeed very powerful. "
Wang Chong smiled. He would never deny that he was powerful.
"Hmph, at least you know your place."
Xu Yi-chin held her head high, and a proud smile finally appeared on her face. Since the start of the fight, this was the first time Wang Chong had raised his sword.
"However, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with me with just this."
Wang Chong's next sentence immediately made Xu Yi-qin "explode".
"Bastard, just you wait and see!"
Xu Yi-qin said angrily. Even she herself hadn't realized that, although she was still a man, she had unintentionally revealed a bit of her feminine side to Wang Chong and the others.
In the Chess Hall, everyone had strange expressions. But soon, no one was in the mood to pay attention to it. Because Xu Yi-qin had already picked up a white stone and placed it on the chessboard.
No matter how strong a disciple was, they couldn't be stronger than their master.
Xu Yi-qin had long known that she wouldn't be able to beat Wang Chong just by relying on the chess and military books she had learned from him. If she wanted to beat him, she had to use other methods.
Thus, the purpose of Xu Yi-qin studying Wang Chong's chess books was very simple. It was to understand his military strategy, chess, and style, and then find a way to restrain him.
Wang Chong's conjecture was correct. This method of combining logistics and military strategy was the one that Xu Yi-qin had found to deal with Wang Chong.
It was also the true way of chess that belonged to Xu Yi-qin herself.
The game continued. One after another, black and white pieces landed on the chessboard. Wang Chong was still attacking with all his might, wanting to reverse the situation. But to Xu Yi-qin, this was already a clear sign of stubbornness.
If Wang Chong had been able to see through her intentions at the start of the match, perhaps he would still have had a chance. But now, forty to fifty moves had passed, and Wang Chong's offensive had been disintegrated by her unexpected move. The disadvantage was obvious, and it was too late.
"Let's see how long you can be so stubborn!"
Xu Yi-qin inwardly sneered.
She had already eaten a considerable number of Wang Chong's stones, while Wang Chong had probably eaten less than eight black stones. And on the chessboard, Wang Chong had no chance of winning at all.
Clack!
On the fifty-eighth move, Xu Yi-qin landed another black stone, miraculously cutting off the connection between a small dragon and a big dragon in the upper right corner of Wang Chong.
On the seventy-second move, Xu Yi-qin's new chess skill, which combined logistics and military strategy, appeared again. A chess piece miraculously cut off one of Wang Chong's big dragons again.
On the eighty-fifth move, Xu Yi-qin's logistics chess skill worked for the fourth time. Wang Chong's situation became more and more unfavorable, and the gap was widened.
On the ninety-sixth move, Xu Yi-qin's logistics chess skill was launched, and a small dragon was directly eaten from Wang Chong.
One hundred and eighth move …
One hundred and twenty-third move …
One hundred and fifty-first move …
…
Xu Yi-qin was getting more and more proficient in logistics, and she was getting better and better at it. Before she knew it, all the confidence Xu Yi-qin had lost to Wang Chong had returned.
She had once again returned to the Eldest Senior Sister that everyone in Longwei Training Camp revered.
Xu Yi-qin played faster and faster, and she was getting better and better at it. Every move seemed to come naturally to her. Ever since she had started learning chess, this was the game that Xu Yi-qin had gotten the most out of, and it was also the best she had ever played.
Xu Qiqin even felt that there was no one who could beat her in chess at this point in time. Wang Chong couldn't, and neither could anyone else.
Even that War God So Jung-son, whom she had always respected, might not be a match for her.
Once this match was over, she would definitely find a way to have So Jung-son play a match with her. This wasn't because she was disrespecting that world-famous senior, but because she wanted to verify her own chess skills.
It was like an invisible gate had been opened in her mind, and this match with Wang Chong had allowed Xu Yi-qin's thoughts to flow like a spring. The Xu family's logistical skills, the art of war, and the art of chess were becoming more and more integrated, and Xu Yi-qin was slowly forming her own style.
And this maturing logistical chess skill was reflected on the chessboard, which meant that Wang Chong's situation was getting worse and worse. Like a powerful army that had lost its supplies and reinforcements, Wang Chong was being forced into a "dead end" step by step.
Water would dry up without a source, and even the strongest army would slowly decline without a source of supply!
This was the situation that Wang Chong was facing.
Clap!
The last piece landed on the chessboard, and like a hammer striking down, Xu Yi-qin suddenly stood up from her seat and arrogantly declared the result of this match.
"Wang Chong, you've lost! I've already won this match! "
Xu Yi-qin looked down on Wang Chong with a haughty expression. After suffering in Deflecting Blade Manor for several months, she had finally achieved her goal.
She had finally defeated this so-called Qilin son of the Wang Clan.
From now on, her Xu Clan's Xu Yi-qin would be the true chess master of the world, and the number one chess master in the world at that. With this, she could openly challenge the War God So Jung-son.
Who said that women were inferior to men? No man could compare to Xu Yi-qin!
In terms of martial arts, in Longwei Training Camp, she was the Eldest Senior that everyone had to respect. In terms of chess, even the esteemed Qilin son of the Wang Clan, who had been in the limelight recently, could not compare to her. Yet, didn't he still lose to her?
Be it in terms of martial arts or literature, she, Xu Yi-qin, was not someone those stinky men could compare to.
The Chess Hall was completely silent. Everyone was stunned by this result. No one could have imagined that the chess godly Wang Chong would lose to this Xu Chong!
"How is this possible?"
The Eagle and Wei Anfang were also stunned. But the chessboard could not lie. The crisscrossing black and white stones could not lie.
Wang Chong had truly lost!
The Chess Hall was shrouded in an indescribable silence, and the atmosphere was suffocating.
Everyone was looking at Wang Chong. If Wang Chong could not prove his strength as the number one chess master, he would no longer have the right to take the examination and teach the other students of the Chess Hall.
Wang Chong's standing in Deflecting Blade Manor would also be shaken.
Chess was the first, and then martial arts, and then other things. One had to know that this sort of thing would lead to a chain reaction.
Moreover, under Wang Chong's influence, the Chess Hall's status in Deflecting Blade Manor was growing more and more important. The first thing anyone who wanted to join Deflecting Blade Manor had to do was pass the Chess Hall's examination.
This made the Chess Hall's examination a threshold for students of Deflecting Blade Manor.
If Wang Chong could not prove his legitimacy and leadership ability, then everything would be for naught. At the very least, Xu Yi-qin was more suitable than Wang Chong for the position of leader of the Chess Hall.
"That's right …"
Xu Yi-qin gave Wang Chong a faint smile, and then with a swoosh, she untied her hair band and shook her head. In an instant, her black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.
At the same time, Xu Yi-qin's right index finger slid down from her chest. Her thin fingernail was as sharp as a sword, and it cut through Xu Yi-qin's green robe.
In the blink of an eye, as if by magic, a crescent-colored, soft, and glossy dress appeared before everyone.
The 'Xu Chong' who had spoken so harshly was gone. In his place was a peerless beauty with fair skin and jade-like skin.
"Wah!"
This sudden change shocked everyone.
"Heavens, Xu Chong, Xu Chong is actually a woman!"
"How beautiful!"
"This is incredible! She's so beautiful that I didn't even know that I was with her for so long! "
…
Everyone was dumbfounded by the change in 'Xu Chong'. When he was still a man, Xu Chong already had rosy lips and white teeth. He was so handsome that even women would pale in comparison.
And now that he was a woman, 'Xu Chong' eclipsed all the beauties and fairies in the capital.
More importantly, 'Xu Chong' was not weak and frail like most women, and it wasn't just her beauty either. She exuded the elegance and magnanimity of a noble clan, as well as an astonishing talent that many women lacked.
This made her beauty all the more astonishing, and also all the more fatal.
In the Chess Hall, almost everyone who saw the real 'Xu Chong' couldn't help but be deeply attracted to her, and they naturally developed a favorable impression of her.
This sort of magnetic charm was simply unstoppable!
"So beautiful!"
This was the same thought in everyone's mind.
Even Wang Chong, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but feel his eyes twitch.
This was Wang Chong's first time seeing Xu Yi-qin's real body!
But even Wang Chong had to admit that this girl's soul-stirring beauty had already surpassed the realm of ordinary.
This kind of beauty made one want to subconsciously get close to her and submit to her.
"… It's said that the talented daughter of the Xu Clan is both beautiful and talented. It seems like it's true!"
