The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 45 Comeback
Both of them thought of this, exchanged glances, and their expressions became slightly serious.

As teachers in the academy, how could they take the lead in helping their students cheat?

No, no, even if you are the young master of the God General's Mansion, it's not okay, and you didn't give me any gifts... Bah, what gifts are there? Even gifts are not okay, you are not a prince...

While the two were racking their brains over how to politely reject the young man, Li Hao had already answered Shen Yunqing's question:

"That technique, I already know it."

"Actually, it's normal for you to find it difficult. Just slowly comprehend it..."

Shen Yunqing was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze and looked at Li Hao in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"I said, I already know the skills written on the stone tablet." Li Hao had to repeat it, suspecting that the old man was hard of hearing.

"Yes?"

Opposite, the gray-robed old man Zhao Zongyuan looked at Li Hao in surprise. Does "know" mean he has already gotten into it?
"Did you choose the Wind-Slashing Fist or the Nine-Star Triple Step?"

Shen Yunqing also came back to his senses and couldn't help but look at Li Hao. Is this kid bragging?

"Wind-cutting Fist."

Li Hao thought about it and seemed to think that this kind of thing was indeed a bit surprising. He immediately threw a punch. The wind from his fist vibrated slightly, and there was a low hum of his own fist force, as if a sharp wind blade was slashing through the wind from his fist.

The two of them looked at each other and recognized that this was one of the attacking moves of the Wind-Cutting Fist. Being able to use the Wind-Chopping Force meant that it was not just a simple entry-level skill, but it had to be mastered to the level of perfection.

Is it...

The two looked at each other with stern eyes. They had heard for a long time that the Li family's Tingyu Tower collected countless martial arts skills. Could it be that the Zhanfeng Fist was also included among them?
But the three skills on the stone tablet are all included in their Tan Palace Academy, and are updated every six years. I have never heard of them being revealed to the outside world?

The relationships between the major forces are complicated. Many thoughts came to the minds of the two elders, but they were quickly suppressed and they did not ask Li Hao.

They never thought that Li Hao had mastered this set of boxing techniques in just a short period of time.

Such a short period of time is only enough to take a careful look at it once. It would be good enough if you can understand the basics of the boxing techniques, let alone reach the level of dexterity or even perfection.

"So, you have passed the test, but we are not responsible for the test. You should go find that uncle."

Shen Yunqing pointed towards the center of the square, where a middle-aged man was standing with his hands behind his back and a calm expression. In front of him, four people were practicing martial arts, but their movements were obviously a little unfamiliar.

"I'll be there in a minute."

Li Hao was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the chessboard where the two of them were sitting opposite each other. He glanced back and forth and immediately saw the situation. He said, "We are about to lose this game."

"Ok?"

The two elders were slightly surprised. Shen Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so young, and you know chess?"

"I know a little bit." Li Hao said modestly.

"Oh?"

Zhao Zongyuan on the opposite side smiled and looked at Shen Yunqing teasingly: "Then you tell me, who wins and who loses?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunqing laughed and scolded him unhappily.

Li Hao pointed out truthfully: "If he continues to play the same way as before, he will lose."

As he said this, he pointed at Shen Yunqing.

Shen Yunqing blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and believed that this boy really knew a little bit about chess. He coughed twice and said, "I just went to pick you up. My mind was not on this game of chess, so I didn't play it well."

"Go! Go! Go."

If the younger generation hadn't been present, Zhao Zongyuan would have kicked him twice and rolled his eyes.

Then Zhao Zongyuan said to Li Hao: "From what you said, he still has a chance of winning this game?"

"Have."

Li Hao nodded, his voice no longer casual at this moment, but became very firm:

"If you change your chess strategy, you can win!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Zongyuan was just joking when he asked this, but he was stunned when he heard this. Then he stopped smiling and said calmly, "Then tell me, how can he win this game of chess?"

Shen Yunqing was surprised and looked at Li Hao with the same curiosity. Being able to predict the outcome showed that Li Hao at least understood some basic rules of chess, but being able to predict the winning trend? You must be kidding. He couldn't even find the possibility of winning.

"Place your move here."

Li Hao tapped the chessboard with his finger.

Zhao Zongyuan took a look, sneered slightly, and said: "What if I place the piece here?" He pointed to an adjacent place.

"Here." Li Hao continued pointing.

"What about me here?"

"Here." "I..." Zhao Zongyuan was about to point to the blocked road when his face suddenly froze and he stared at the chessboard with flickering eyes.

There were no pieces placed where the men pointed their fingers, but at this moment, the chessboard had already been imprinted in his mind, with pieces placed at those places.

There is nothing special about these moves, let alone a winning trend, but... they seem a little subtle.

That broken vein seems to be able to be connected!

Zhao Zongyuan's eyes became solemn, he withdrew his finger pointing at the chessboard, and his face showed deep thought.

Next to him, Shen Yunqing didn't see anything at first, but when he saw his old friend's face suddenly change, he was startled. Then he looked carefully, examined and thought about it carefully. After a while, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Li Hao.

These steps really feel like a snake’s mouth connected together!

It actually gave the originally doomed chess game a glimmer of hope!
"I'm here..." After thinking for a while, Zhao Zongyuan pointed to another place, intending to completely decapitate the dragon vein on the chessboard without any further entanglement.

Li Hao seemed to have expected it, and raised his hand to point at another place, "Little flying horn, horn breaking momentum."

If the pieces fall at the place they point to, they will become flying knives and open up a killing path!
Snapped!
After Shen Yunqing saw it clearly, he couldn't help but slap his thigh. This was a brilliant move!
Why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I see it?!
Zhao Zongyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but look up, looking at Li Hao's young face. At this moment, he felt dazed.

This young boy is so young, but his chess skills are so mature and ruthless? !
"Come, come, sit down, sit down."

Shen Yunqing supported himself on the ground with both hands, moved his butt to the side, and said to Li Hao: "Let me see how far you can go. It doesn't matter if you lose. If you really win, I'll give you a sip of Drunken Wind Brew."

"it is good."

Li Hao nodded and didn't say anything polite. He came here just for this game of chess.

He sat down and the flattened green grass was still warm.

Zhao Zongyuan frowned and looked serious. He stared at Li Hao deeply. At this moment, he did not try to find out why this young man was so good at chess. Instead, he collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Then let's give it a try."

Li Hao inserted his fingers into the chess box, picked up the black piece between his index finger and middle finger, and placed it on the chessboard.

Fill the previously indicated position first.

On the opposite side, Zhao Zongyuan also followed suit without saying a word.

The two began to play chess in earnest.

In the square, many young men from aristocratic families and wizards of the martial arts world were practicing their martial arts skills, sweating profusely, competing for a place in the A and B courtyards.

And in this corner, on the tiny chessboard, there is a fierce fight of intrigue and deception, where the pieces are placed like knives and every step is a killing move!
After a while, the old hand trembled as he picked up a chess piece from the chess box, but after shaking for a moment, the piece slipped from his fingertips and fell.

Zhao Zongyuan's old face was covered with sweat, just like those young disciples who were waving their fists and feet in the square.

The chess game is doomed.

"I lost."

Zhao Zongyuan's throat seemed dry and his voice was difficult.

Beside him, Shen Yunqing was stunned, looking at the chess game in disbelief. He was about to lose the game, but Li Hao turned the tide by completely breaking his chess path, taking back all the lost territory, attacking step by step, and finally winning by one and a half points when counting the pieces!

Don't underestimate a slight victory of just one and a half points, but it is incredible to be able to reverse the previously bad situation to this extent!

"Thank you, senior."

Li Hao withdrew his hand, bowed his head slightly, and his expression was a little serious, but after receiving the gift, his demeanor became relaxed again.

He is a fifth-dan chess player and often plays with Wu Ye. He has never competed with other masters outside. It seems that the chess skills of these two are still inferior to Wu Ye's. They are probably barely at the fourth-dan level.

This is already quite rare.

After all, the two elders are both warriors, and they still have the leisure to delve into other fields. To reach such a level, they have put in a lot of effort, which shows their love for it.

Zhao Zongyuan smiled bitterly and looked up at Li Hao, feeling like he was looking at a monster.

What’s wrong with this kid from the Li family’s brain? He’s not even as old as I am, but he actually beat me like this?
Could it be that playing chess also requires talent?

"Awesome, awesome!" Shen Yunqing exclaimed beside him.

Li Hao smiled and said, "It was just a fluke. How about we play another round?"

Zhao Zongyuan was somewhat speechless, and said sullenly, "You haven't taken the test yet, there aren't many places for the A-school, go get one first."

"Uh, okay."

Li Hao came back to his senses. Although he didn't care much about the quota for Hospital A, he might as well make a trip first to avoid trouble in the future.

"Then please wait for me, senior. I will be back soon." Li Hao said.

Zhao Zongyuan and Shen Yunqing looked at him strangely. Why did it feel like this kid was more obsessed with playing chess than practicing martial arts in the A-level academy?

"You have to wait for me."

Li Hao stood up, called out again worriedly before leaving, and then hurriedly ran towards the middle-aged man in the center of the square.
