Wang Chong had long known of Xu Yi-qin's true identity and that she was a woman. However, Xu Yi-qin's true appearance was far more beautiful than he had expected.
"... I forgot to tell you, my name is not Xu Chong, but Xu Yi-qin. I am the eldest daughter of the Xu Clan. When you admit that you are inferior to me in front of the crowd, don't forget this. "
Xu Yi-qin had no idea what Wang Chong was thinking. She lightly swung her long black hair, casually tying it up with a crescent white hairpin, a proud expression on her face.
Although there were some twists and turns, Wang Chong had still lost to her.
"Young Miss! Wah! You really won! — — "
A shriek came from the crowd, and Xu Yi-qin's dainty maid rushed out. She rushed to Xu Yi-qin's side, jumping and shouting excitedly.
"You won, you really won!"
The maid shrieked, as if she had won.
"Lass, you're always so nosy!"
Xu Yi-qin bluntly slapped the back of the maid's head.
"Wang Chong, how is it? Hurry up and announce it to the crowd! "
Xu Yi-qin turned around and looked at Wang Chong with the attitude of a victor. Then, she gestured for Wang Chong to go out and announce her victory in front of the crowd in the Deflecting Blade Manor.
"Hehe, did you win? Why didn't I see it? "
Wang Chong sat on his seat, unmoving as a mountain. He watched with a smile as Xu Yi-qin performed the 'joy of victory' before him.
"Wang Chong, victory has already been decided. With so many people watching, you can't possibly be thinking of going back on your word, right?"
Xu Yi-qin's pupils constricted, and her complexion abruptly warped.
"The Wang Clan of the capital is a clan of ministers and generals. Don't tell me you're so tasteless?"
"That's right. Wang Chong, are you still a man? Are you going to go back on your words after playing chess with our Young Miss? "
The little maid immediately stood up for the injustice.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became subtle.
Xu Yi-qin's victory was unexpected, but Wang Chong's reaction was also unexpected. Half a year after the establishment of the Deflecting Blade Manor, Wang Chong's image in the eyes of the public was still very good.
No one thought that Wang Chong was the kind of person who would easily go back on his word, but the scene in front of them was really puzzling.
"Hehe, I didn't say I'm going back on my word! However, Xu Yi-qin, don't you know that the winner of this round can only be determined after I finish playing? Don't tell me you've forgotten that you took the initiative in this round? "
As Wang Chong spoke, he took out the last white piece from the chess box.
Weng!
The moment this white piece appeared, the atmosphere in the Chess Hall abruptly changed. Xu Yi-qin felt as if someone had pricked her with a needle, and her body visibly trembled.
In an instant, along with the white piece that Wang Chong had taken out of the box, some things that had been forgotten suddenly resurfaced in her mind.
That's right!
She had truly taken the initiative in this round!
Although she had already placed down her last piece, this round could only be truly concluded after Wang Chong had placed his piece.
Wang Chong wasn't wrong when he said that the winner had yet to be determined!
Weng!
As if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind, Xu Yi-qin suddenly had a bad premonition, and the smile on her face immediately vanished.
Xu Yi-qin had never dared to underestimate Wang Chong, and this was naturally no different.
But very quickly, Xu Yi-qin returned to normal.
"Hmph, Wang Chong, don't try to fool me. We've already reached this point, and this is just the last piece. I don't believe that you can still win! "
Xu Yi-qin said coldly.
Her gaze swept over the chessboard, and she saw that the black and white pieces crisscrossed on the gold-inlaid nanmu chessboard, resembling a map of broken hills.
Xu Yi-qin was certain that the current Wang Chong had already been cut to pieces by her, and he had completely lost the ability to threaten her.
"Hahaha, Xu Yi-qin, remember these words: the one who laughs in the end laughs the best!"
Under everyone's gazes, Wang Chong heartily laughed as he pressed down on his final white stone.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down countless times. Under countless gazes, the white piece in Wang Chong's hand seemed to become as heavy as a thousand catties, attracting everyone's attention.
Even Xu Yi-qin couldn't help but follow the movement of the white piece in Wang Chong's hand toward the chessboard.
Xu Yi-qin absolutely did not believe that a white piece could pose any threat to her, but Wang Chong's expression was too calm, too carefree. This made her unconsciously feel a little uneasy.
Bang!
It was clearly only a split second, but to the crowd, it felt as if countless centuries had passed. Finally, bang! With a heavy thud, Wang Chong's last white piece landed in the lower left corner of Xu Yi-qin's hand, a position that she had never expected.
The moment the piece landed, the entire Chess Hall trembled, as if Wang Chong's piece had not landed on the chessboard, but in everyone's hearts.
“check! Xu Yi-qin, you've lost! "
Wang Chong said something that Xu Yi-qin couldn't understand. However, Xu Yi-qin very quickly paid no attention to what Wang Chong's words meant, because as Wang Chong's last white piece landed, everyone's gazes were focused on this unremarkable place.
And when the dust settled, everyone suddenly realized that the originally insignificant and unrelated itch and pain suddenly became incomparably important in that instant.
Like a massive net, Wang Chong had finally completed the final stroke. The net that had been woven from the very first chess piece finally took shape at this moment.
Wang Chong's originally scattered, fragmented, and shapeless white pieces, at this critical moment, suddenly transformed into a massive, murderous trap.
And Xu Yi-qin was the prey in the center of this trap.
"This is impossible! — — "
Xu Yi-qin's eyes widened abruptly, looking at this sudden reversal of the chess game in disbelief, her chest rising and falling rapidly like a bellows.
"Nothing is impossible, Xu Yi-qin, you've lost!"
Wang Chong laughed, then stretched out both his hands, his right hand holding the chess piece, and his left holding the piece. Under Xu Yi-qin's shocked gaze, he collected the first prey in the net that he had spent a long time to weave — — the first big dragon of Xu Yi-qin, which was formed by countless black pieces.
Then, there was a "small dragon" at the corner, then a second, a third …
As Wang Chong collected his pieces, a large space suddenly appeared on the crowded chessboard, and then a second space, a third space …
Xu Yi-qin's black pieces were different from Wang Chong's. Her pieces were formed by countless big and small dragons, looking after each other from the head to the tail, taking care of each other.
It seemed like a brilliant layout, but at this time, it became her biggest failure.
Piece after piece, by the time all the black pieces had been collected, the black pieces had become sparse, and Wang Chong's' white pieces', which had been cut into pieces, now held an absolute advantage on the field.
And the sparse layout, at first glance, was the result of Xu Yi-qin's "logistics chess" attack, but at this time, it became the brilliant part of Wang Chong.
Because Xu Yi-qin could no longer collect any of Wang Chong's pieces from the chessboard.
Wang Chong won!
— — The situation on the chessboard was clear at a glance, even those who didn't understand chess could see it.
"Impossible, impossible … This is impossible!"
Xu Yi-qin's body trembled as if she had been hit by a heavy blow.
This chessboard was completely opposite in terms of the outcome of victory and defeat. It dealt a heavy blow to him. Even if you beat Xu Yi-qin to death, she couldn't believe that she lost!
Moreover, she lost to Wang Chong at the last step after having the complete advantage for a long time in the early stages.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? "
Xu Yi-qin muttered to herself, her body swayed, and her face was pale.
"Miss! — — "
The petite little maid of the Xu family hurriedly supported her miss with a pained heart, while fiercely glaring at Wang Chong.
It was all this guy's fault, causing her miss to suffer such a huge blow. Didn't he know how to give way?
He had already seen the miss' true appearance, and he was still like this, really unromantic!
Seeing the little maid's fierce gaze, Wang Chong only smiled. If it was just a dispute, or a game, of course, it didn't matter if he gave way.
However, the reason why Wang Chong had set up this chess game was to subdue Xu Yi-qin, the future 'King of Logistics', and bring her under his command, so no matter what, he couldn't give way.
"To be able to combine the Xu family's logistics skills with chess, Xu Yi-qin, your talent is indeed amazing!"
Wang Chong slowly swept the large pile of black pieces into the chess box, then stood up.
"But unfortunately, you focus too much on one part, and neglected the whole! After all, chess is not a simple competition of logistics skills! "
As he spat out the last word, a huge aura was released from Wang Chong's body. This was Wang Chong's original aura.
As the War Saint in his previous life, Wang Chong was completely capable of saying these words in front of Xu Yi-qin as a teacher.
Xu Yi-qin's talent was indeed not bad, but it was just that, and there was still a huge gap between her and Wang Chong. This could be sensed from this game.
In the beginning, Xu Yi-qin had the advantage, but in the end, because of Wang Chong's final white piece, all her efforts had been for naught, and she had turned victory into defeat.
This result might have been unexpected for Xu Yi-qin, shocking, and completely unacceptable. But to Wang Chong, he had expected all of this from the very beginning.
Xu Yi-qin was not the first opponent Wang Chong had encountered, nor would she be the last, and certainly not the most formidable.
In Wang Chong's life, he had encountered countless truly formidable opponents, and they had all been on dangerous battlefields. Even these famed generals, great generals, and even the otherworldly invaders had suffered crushing defeats, so how could Xu Yi-qin?
The title of 'War Saint' was not something one could just call oneself!
"Boom!"
As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, the students in the Chess Hall who supported and worshiped Wang Chong cheered. Then the others followed suit.
The game between Wang Chong and Xu Yi-qin had been too marvelous, especially Wang Chong's miraculous final white piece, which had instantly turned defeat into victory and completely overturned Xu Yi-qin.
This inconceivable chess skill had completely won over everyone present.
This alone had won Wang Chong a large number of diehard fans. And even more people had been completely drawn in by the breadth and depth of the Way of Chess.
They hadn't expected that the Way of Chess could be so strange and so marvelous. It was like a mysterious world, exuding endless light, deeply drawing in those who weren't familiar with the world of Chess.
"Well done!"
"Young Master truly is Young Master. No one can easily defeat him in his area of expertise!"
… …
Wei Anfang and The Eagle both laughed.
