Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 23 The Way of Chess with Heaven and Earth as the Game: Lu Qibin Leaves Shrek Academy!

When Sikong Zhen walked to Lu Qibin's side, he paused.

Lu Qibin's martial spirit is the Star Chess.

Sikong Zhen turned to look at Lu Qibin and suddenly said, "The chessboard, within its small space, is the universe."

"The player of chess should regard the world as the game board, and once a move is made, there is no going back; a single move can determine the fate of the game!"

Sikong Zhen finished speaking.

Lu Qibin's body trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at Sikong Zhen, his eyes filled with doubt and deep thought.

"The chessboard, within its small space, is the universe..." Lu Qibin repeated Sikong Zhen's words in a low voice, pondering their profound meaning.

Sikong Zhen remained calm and his gaze was deep as he continued, “The way of chess is like life. The player must have a broad perspective and not be fixated on the gains or losses of a single piece or a single position.”

"If you only focus on the immediate victory or defeat, you will never achieve great things."

Hear the words.

Lu Qibin was startled, as if a fog in his mind had suddenly dissipated.

His martial spirit, "Star Chess," is very special.

Abilities in all aspects are not only linked to soul power, but also closely related to one's mastery of the game of Go.

Lu Qibin, having become a Soul Emperor, believed that his skill in chess was already very high, placing him among the top tier.

however.

Sikong Zhen's words made him realize that he may never have truly understood the essence of the way of chess.

“With heaven and earth as the game board, a single move can determine the fate of the world…” Lu Qibin murmured to himself, a look of enlightenment gradually appearing in his eyes.

See this scene.

Sikong Zhen nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to leave with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

He had just thought of that junior, that junior who had taken the initiative and won by a hair's breadth, and that's when he felt compelled to speak.

"Thank you very much, Young Marquis Sikong!"

Watching Sikong Zhen's retreating figure, Lu Qibin suddenly bowed and called out earnestly.

He secretly vowed that he would never do anything detrimental to Sikong Zhen and the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and that he would find an opportunity to repay this kindness.

Just because.

This kindness is too great!
The hatred of those who obstruct the path is like killing one's parents; conversely, the kindness of those who impart the Way is greater than Heaven!
Lu Qibin took a deep breath and made up his mind.

……

at the same time.

The students of Shrek Academy were still immersed in the shock they had just experienced.

Tang San lowered his head, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly vowed, "Dugu Bo, Sikong Zhen, I, Tang San, will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"

"Little three."

Yu Xiaogang walked to Tang San's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a hint of comfort in his voice, "What happened today was due to our lack of strength, but you don't need to take it too hard."

"As long as you work hard in your training, you will definitely be able to surpass them in the future!"

Tang San raised his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

But he nodded and whispered, "Teacher, I understand."

"I must become stronger, and I will never let anyone bully us or Shrek Academy again!"

Speaking of it.

Tang San bowed slightly to Flander, Zhao Wuji, and the other teachers who stood up for him, saying, "Thank you, Dean and all the teachers!"

Flander waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

“Xiao San, you are a member of Shrek Academy and Xiao Gang’s disciple. We will not sit idly by.”

Liu Erlong patted Tang San on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Little San, don't be discouraged. The path of a Soul Master is full of challenges. Today's setback is just a test for you."

"When you truly become powerful, none of this will matter."

"I understand."

Tang San nodded, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes. Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief in his eyes.

Fortunately, Tang San did not harbor resentment towards him because of what had just happened, nor did he sever their master-disciple relationship.

however.

What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was...

At this moment, Tang San already harbored resentment towards him, extreme resentment, and thought to himself:
"If it weren't for Flander and Liu Erlong's decent strength, and your Spirit Fusion Skill, I would have turned against you long ago!"

"Master? What a load of rubbish!"

"What they taught me was mostly theory, and it might not even be correct!"

at this time.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and others walked to Tang San's side.

Xiao Wu asked with concern, "Xiao San, are you alright? Did that old guy Dugu Bo hurt you?"

"Xiao Wu, I'm fine." Tang San forced a smile.

Ning Rongrong also said, "Third Brother, don't worry too much. With Dad and Grandpa Gu here, they won't dare to go too far."

Hear this.

Ning Fengzhi, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the right moment: "That's right, Xiao San, with Uncle Ning here, you can rest assured!"

Upon seeing that it was Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, two powerful figures, Tang San immediately put on a sincere smile and replied, "Thank you very much, Uncle Ning and Senior Bone Douluo, for your help."

"However, this is my own business, and I don't want to implicate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Hear the words.

Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged; he was a cunning old fox.

Ning Rongrong immediately retorted, "Third Brother, what are you saying? We Shrek Seven Devils are one entity; your business is our business!"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, but his face remained calm.

He gently shook his head and said firmly, "Rongrong, thank you for your kindness."

"But this is indeed a personal grudge of mine, and I don't want to involve everyone else."

"The forces behind Dugu Bo and Sikong Zhen are not to be underestimated. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is dragged into unnecessary conflict because of this, I will not be at ease."

Ning Rongrong wanted to say something more, but Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to stop her.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, looked at Tang San with deep eyes, and slowly said, "Little San, I understand your thoughts."

"However, Rongrong is not wrong either. The Shrek Seven Devils are originally one."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not stand idly by in your matter. Of course, we will also act within our capabilities and will not act rashly."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Ning."

Tang San felt as if he had been seen through, nodded, and said no more.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was unreadable.

In front of this old fox, Tang San's little tricks were completely exposed.

at this time.

Lu Qibin slowly walked up to Flander.

His expression was calm, but his eyes revealed a resolute determination.

“Flander, I have something to tell you.” Lu Qibin’s voice was low.

Flander was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Old Lu, just say what's on your mind. We've been friends for so many years, do we really need to be so formal?"

Lu Qibin took a deep breath and slowly said, "I have decided to withdraw from Shrek Academy."

This statement came out.

The whole place fell into silence.

Flander's smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Old Lu, what's wrong with you? Why did you quit all of a sudden?"

"Did something happen? Tell me, and we'll figure it out together!"
