From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 232 Bloodstained Chessboard Spreads Throughout the World (Third Update)

Xu Weixiong, the Second Princess of the Northern Liang Royal Palace

The "Brother-Supporting Demon"

However, I heard that he is not his biological son, and is a typical case of recognizing a thief as one's father.

Aside from that, he was also a swordsmanship genius, but he was not as extraordinary as the original story portrayed, as if he were truly invincible throughout the academy.

In the original work, her status in the academy was mainly due to her background and family, although her achievements in swordsmanship were also a factor.

How is she able to monopolize Dayi Lake all by herself?
Because Confucian scholars are weak in combat; those below the first rank have almost no fighting ability, while Xu Wei and Xiong...
He practiced martial arts from a young age, was proficient in swordsmanship, had a powerful background, and was ruthless and vicious, daring to suddenly kill someone in the academy.

This kind of crazy woman is a complete disaster for the weak scholars in the academy. Those who are capable of resisting her, and who are also wary of the two teachers behind her, will naturally not bully the weak or bother with such a junior.

This is what established Xu Weixiong's status at the Shangyin Academy.

Therefore, her claim of being the so-called "tyrant of Shangyin Academy" is largely unfounded.

Most importantly, she is not the Yong Shan from the TV series.

Therefore, Zhao Xun would not indulge her.

Soon, a chessboard was placed in front of the two.

Zhao Xun played white, and black moved first. Then, Zhao Xun saw Xu Weixiong place a piece at point 3-3.

His game of chess with Huang Longshi in Chengyuan Hall had already become famous, so it was not surprising that Xu Wei knew about it. However, when playing against him, Huang Longshi directly used the 3-3 point opening, which was clearly a provocation.

"Heh!" Zhao Xun's lips curled slightly.

In the original work, Xu Weixiong's chess skills were exaggerated to be unparalleled, such as the Ten Games at Danghu and his self-created nineteen-line chessboard.

Nineteen questions? Are you sure you can really count them all?

I don't care if you can figure it out or not, I can figure it out anyway!

"continue!"

"What?" Xu Weixiong looked up in confusion, only to be met with Zhao Xun's cold gaze. "I'll give you a three-point advantage."

"you…"

"Keep going, you're so arrogant, you don't know your place!"

Xu Weixiong was also a proud person. She had studied the game between Zhao Xun and Huang Longshi many times and finally concluded that this opening was based on the overall situation and required a lot of calculation ability. Her strength was precisely in calculation ability. So, she chose to open with the 3-3 point. But she did not expect that Zhao Xun would be so careless.

"Give me my three sons, fine!"

This person is someone who refuses to suffer losses and always tries to take advantage of any opportunity.

Unfortunately, he encountered a mad dog!
After placing three black pieces, Zhao Xun immediately placed one on the center position. "You think you can calculate? Today, I'll show you the limits of your calculation ability."

The people watching the game were not good at Go, but they had good eyesight. They were stunned by the way the game was played. They couldn't believe that Go could be played like that.

Are you sure you guys really know how to play Go?
But what followed left them even more bewildered.

After Zhao Xun placed a single move at the center, he quickly expanded his position around it. Although the next few moves seemed fraught with danger, his position gradually became more solid.

What was most frightening was that Zhao Xun played chess almost without thinking, immediately following Xu Weixiong's moves. Xu Weixiong, on the other hand, played slower and slower. In the middle of the game, she stopped, her eyes fixed on the chessboard, her hand holding a black piece that she couldn't bring herself to place.

Looking at the game again, although it has only reached the middle stage, White has already gained a huge advantage without anyone noticing. The entire game situation is like a giant mountain standing on the chessboard, which is impossible to shake.

Suddenly, a small, bright red dot appeared in the lower right corner of the chessboard, followed by a second, a third... "Wei Xiong!"

At this moment, Mr. Wang suddenly realized what was happening and rushed forward. He gently shook Xu Weixiong's hand, and Xu Weixiong's black piece fell to the ground. He collapsed onto the chessboard, and the small red dot turned into a pool of blood, a shocking sight.

"this……!"

Zhao Xun was also somewhat surprised and was at a loss for what to do. This porcelain collision was just too damn abrupt!

At this moment, among the spectators, a scholar who was well-versed in medicine took a quick pulse and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing serious, just that you've exhausted your mental energy. You should be fine after a night's rest."

Mr. Wang, who also knew some medical skills, immediately understood upon hearing this. He thanked him repeatedly, said no more, and quickly left with Xu Weixiong on his back.

Zhao Xun also understood.

Judging from the game and what just happened, Xu Weixiong indeed has amazing computing power, practically a human computer. But unfortunately, her brain couldn't handle such a large amount of computation, so it crashed.

This is the effect he wanted.

"You've all seen it, this has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Xun spread his hands and said, "At such a young age, your body is so weak. How will you survive in the future?!"

Bian Jiang could only smile bitterly. As for the others, what could they say? The two Go experts were still staring intently at the blood-stained Go board, their eyes fixed on it as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

Seeing their expressions, it seemed they weren't planning to leave anytime soon. Zhao Xun smiled helplessly, "How about I explain this game to you...!"

※※※

On his first day back at Shangyin Academy, Prince Jing'an's heir, Zhao Xun, decisively defeated Xu Weixiong in the middle game, severely damaging Xu Weixiong's mental state and preventing him from recuperating. The game record of that match was also leaked, along with Zhao Xun's explanation of the bloodstained half of the game.

Ordinary people certainly can't understand it, but those who truly understand chess are completely absorbed in watching it.

"I see, I see!!"

In the Shangyin Academy, an elderly scholar with white hair and beard looked at the thin, detailed explanation and cried out. Then, suddenly, he burst into tears.

"Teacher, what's wrong?!"

Seeing the old man clapping and cheering, tears streaming down his face, his student was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him up, asking him what was wrong.

"I understand, I understand, hahaha, Huang Longshi, Huang Longshi, he wasn't just broken by one piece of armor, he was broken by two pieces of armor!!" The old scholar laughed loudly. He was a scholar of Shangyin Academy and a remnant of the Later Tang Dynasty among the nine states of the Spring and Autumn Period. He hated Huang Longshi, who had provoked the war between the states of the Spring and Autumn Period, to the bone, which is why he was so excited.

"Teacher, what did you say? Two armor plates were broken?!" The student was also startled by the teacher's words and quickly asked.

"Look, the 3-3 opening, on the surface it seems like 'greedy corner territory, sacrificing external influence,' extremely risky. But in reality, it's Xun Shizi's astonishing calculation ability. Through extensive calculations, he quickly shapes the corner and side lines, freeing up his hands to seize large areas and gain an advantage in the overall game. What is this? This is calculation, massive calculation! To open with this opening requires far superior calculation ability compared to the opponent. Xun Shizi was able to defeat Huang Longshi with this opening, which means he also far surpasses Huang Longshi in calculation ability. In other words, Huang Longshi lost not only the game but also his calculation ability! Hahahaha, a top-tier player in both chess and calculation! This is a game that breaks two top-tier players! No wonder Huang Longshi was so uncouth after losing the game. How satisfying! How satisfying!!"

"Breaking through two armors in one game, what a fine Prince Jing'an, what a fine Zhao Xun! Who would have thought that such a person would emerge in the world? Interesting, truly interesting!"

As the chess score and detailed explanations circulated, in a courtyard far away in Wudi City, a man in blue robes also slammed his fist on the table in amazement, admitting his inferiority.

Cao Guanzi is one of the top three masters in the world, and also one of the top three chess players in the world.

At his level, one can naturally glean a great deal from a thin chess manual.

"The Prince of Jing'an's son, with his skills in painting, chess, and mathematics, hehe, he can now be called Zhao the Third Master. Huang Longshi has really suffered a big setback this time!"

He gently put down the chess manual, stood up, and wondered if he should go to Shangyin Academy to play a game with him personally. He thought it would be a very pleasant thing.
