It didn't matter if he was committing suicide or not, Harris had decided to completely defeat Li Xiang in this round.
The fourth round officially began.
Even though No.1 didn't know anything about Mechanical Chess, she had a general understanding of the rules and content of this competition after watching three rounds. Hence, when she saw Li Xiang actually move the king piece in his first move, she was speechless.
"Moving the king piece in his first move … After so many years, this is the first time I've seen someone start off Mechanical Chess like this." The spectators below sneered. Most of them thought that Li Xiang lost in a fit of rage.
The king piece was the core of one side. If it moved around casually, wouldn't it become a target for others?
Harris was overjoyed. Originally, he had to control his pieces to kill all the obstacles before he could touch the opponent's king piece. Now that his king piece took the initiative to attack, wouldn't he be heading towards his own demise?
On the other hand, Li Xiang's mind had never been so clear after activating his ability. In his eyes, Mechanical Chess was just another way of fighting. On the battlefield, he used guns and fists, but here, he used his brain and strategy.
Different methods, different routes to the same goal.
It was precisely because he had the mindset of entrusting his life to it that he attached great importance to Mechanical Chess and his concentration when playing chess was unparalleled.
Others only thought that he was shocked and dumbfounded. Only he knew that the moment he activated his ability, all that was left in his eyes was the huge chessboard and the black and white pieces on both sides.
Every move was decided after countless calculations.
The operation of his hands and the execution of his strategy were perfect. Even the weakest part, his familiarity with the pieces, was compensated by a lot in the three rounds.
A frightening scene appeared.
The king piece had low defense, but at the same time, it had high attack power that made other pieces fearful. With the help of other pieces from other races, the king piece exploded with terrifying attack power.
Harris' white pieces basically died upon contact. It was as if they were facing a king that looked down on everything.
Of course, Li Xiang's advancement wasn't that simple.
He encountered a huge resistance. Because the king piece was the core, Harris didn't have to think too much about the movement of the pieces. He just had to mobilize all his forces to attack the king pieces that surrounded him.
No matter how brave the King Chess was, it would be difficult for him to withstand the siege of a large group of chess pieces.
Once he gave up on the movement of the king piece and turned to control the other pieces, it would be easy for the king piece to fall into a huge passive position. At the same time, this would restrict the movements of his other pieces.
Harris had to admit that Li Xiang's initial idea was very interesting and advanced. Relying on Wang Qi's strength, Li Xiang had won a lot of his chess pieces. However, once this momentum passed, the strategic disadvantage of using Wang Qi as the core would be exposed in the middle of the game.
"Exchanging three chess pieces for one King Chess guard." As long as Li Xiang stuck to this core idea, he could slowly erode the supporting chess pieces around Wang's chess piece. At the same time, once Li Xiang moved other chess pieces, Wang's chess piece would be in more danger. It would also be difficult for his reinforcements to arrive quickly. After all, there were many white chess pieces outside.
Wang Qi's bravery had indeed opened up a new situation and boosted the morale of the other chess pieces, but this was only temporary.
After Wang Qi fell into a passive position and was in danger, the morale of the other chess pieces would immediately drop. At this time, the drop in morale was a fatal crisis for Wang Qi.
Harris found the right opportunity. One of his white synthetic chess pieces finally broke through the defense line and killed Li Xiang's King Chess piece!
The game was about to end!
"The final winner is still me. Your points are mine. Your woman is also mine." Harris licked his lips and looked at Li Xiang excitedly. However, he still didn't see a trace of fear or panic in the other party's eyes.
Wang Qi had been killed. Why was the notification still not over?
At this moment, there was an uproar in the audience.
Harris looked back at the chessboard in confusion and was surprised to find that the chess piece he had paid a huge price to kill wasn't Li Xiang's King Chess piece, but the Human Race's Hidden One.
"When?! When did he switch two chess pieces? " Harris instantly went crazy. He didn't see this change at all. Or rather, everyone who didn't know about the Hidden One didn't realize this.
Because this chess piece was publicly known as a useless chess piece, not many people knew about its characteristics. Since the beginning of the game, the Hidden One had always been a bystander. With one less combatant, the game did not cause any major losses to Harris in the early stages of the game.
However, all of this changed drastically after the Hidden One replaced Wang Qi and died.
When the Hidden One gradually shed its disguise and became Wang Qi's King Chess piece, the black chess pieces' morale was unprecedentedly high, while the white chess pieces' morale was low for the first time.
The horn for a counterattack sounded.
What followed was a one-sided slaughter.
Number One stared at the chessboard in a daze. There were many competitors who hadn't realized what had happened.
There were also some competitors who sighed and secretly left the arena. Most of them were shocked by Li Xiang's amazing talent.
Defeating Harris in Mechanical Chess wasn't scary. What was scary was that he had lost three games in a row and still dared to experiment with new moves and new ideas. This kind of person was scary.
This was Mechanical Chess. If it were any other competition, Harris would have been killed long ago.
Seeing their King Chess piece ruthlessly killed, the black chess pieces seemed to have finally vented their frustrations. Harris's mouth twitched painfully. He had taken out sixty thousand points in one go. Before he could even warm it up, he had already given back all his winnings and had even lost thirty thousand points.
This was the Sky Arena.
In one night, it was possible to go back to square one.
He didn't dare look into Li Xiang's eyes, afraid that he would say something like, "Want another round?"
Harris was really scared.
This guy could think of anything and do anything!
The 31st floor to the 40th floor was a stage for these lunatics. He could almost foresee that Li Xiang would be able to slaughter everyone on these floors.
"Where's the next stop?" Li Xiang jumped down from the arena. Mechanical Chess was quite interesting, but that was it. What attracted him more was the creation of the game. Unfortunately, he didn't have the qualifications to talk to Duke Siluo, so he could only bury his doubts deep in his heart.
"Hey, I recommend you to go to Virtual Combat." Harris's gloomy expression was swept away. He was a wretched and hypocritical person, but at the same time, he admired the strong. Li Xiang had convinced him, so naturally, he didn't have his previous arrogance and arrogance.
However, Number One still subconsciously pulled Li Xiang away from this guy.
She was afraid that Li Xiang would be led astray by him.
However, Li Xiang's face was full of curiosity. He wanted to know what this Virtual Combat was.
Just as Harris was about to explain, several men in black suits walked towards them from the entrance. He immediately shut his mouth and grinned at Li Xiang.
"Alright, looks like I don't need to say more. I hope you have fun in the future."
