Luo Chen: "..."

What a ridiculously cringeworthy statement!

The scariest thing is that, for some reason, he actually understood it!

This means that there are too many details in a 9-dan A-level Go match, and the process is too complicated to be handled by just one or two 8-dan referees.

As for inviting the same 9th Dan A-level to serve as referee? ... This honor is obviously a bit mismatched.

Unless it's someone of Moonlight Saint World's level, whose power is terrifying, all the 9A-level experts would be willing to act as referees.

"My dearest friend! Before the sealing of the sacred altar begins, we must solemnly remind you!" Shen Guo Bu Meng looked up at the sky and said calmly, "You are beings who have barely obtained this rare opportunity to fight only because you have inherited my will and legacy. The blood we bestowed upon you boils within you, the fire we bestowed upon you burns on your bodies, and the faith we bestowed upon you erupts within your minds. We..."

"Cough cough!"

Luo Chen felt his ears were about to fall off after hearing half of it, so he consciously ignored the chuunibyou's speech and turned to ask Fujii, "Excuse me, may I go in now?"

"Uh, of course." Little Fujii also glanced speechlessly at the person leaning against the wall with their head up, rambling on and on with a look of pride on their face, and then turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

".Thanks."

Luo Chen expressed his gratitude and then went inside.

Kofuji, along with several other 8-dan Go players from Kansai, also entered the room.

A few minutes later.

Shinobu Daishi arrived here.

Seeing Shen Guo Bu Meng leaning against the wall with her head held high, chattering incessantly, he asked curiously, "Bu Meng, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"Don't bother me!"

With a serious expression, Ayumu Kamina turned to Taishi Shinobu and said, "We are providing faith to our dearest friend who has inherited my will..."

"What about people?!"

Suddenly, I felt a little empty inside.

Kamina Ayumu rubbed her eyes and, seeing that there really was only Shinobu Daishi, immediately turned to look inside.

Seeing that Luo Chen was already seated, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Shouting, he rushed in: "My dear friend!! How could you not listen to my entire speech! You'll lose! You'll lose!! My blessing is crucial, damn it!!"

Luo Chen, Xiao Fujii, and several other Kansai 8-dan players all lowered their heads and covered their ears with their hands to search.

"Haha~."

Shinobu Taishi couldn't help but chuckle as he walked in.

"Senior Shinowa".

Luo Chen stood up and performed a senior's greeting.

"Senior Shinowa".

"Senior Shinobu, you've arrived."

Everyone in the room followed Luo Chen, using the same polite and respectful tone. After all, age aside, in the world of chess, the most experienced comes first.

"You're too kind, everyone. Please have a seat." Shinobu Daishi returned the greeting.

At this moment, Sumito Sakari, the first referee from the Shogi League, also came over, greeted everyone with a smile, and asked, "Gentlemen, may we begin now?"

Chapter 394 Is such a young man really that simple?

“Of course.” Shinobu Daishi nodded, his gaze shifting to Luo Chen opposite him, and asked with a smile, “How is it?”

“Since you’ve made all the preparations, I certainly won’t slack off either. Please begin.” Luo Chen took a light breath and nodded with a smile.

Upon receiving the signal, Sumito Sakari's eyes flashed with anticipation. He turned around and instructed, "You can turn on the projector now!"

"Wow~!"

"Oh my God!"

"Holographic projection!"

"That's cool technology!"

"It is said that the Shogi Federation only invests heavily in this advanced and amazing technology when both sides have a 9-dan A rank!"

"This is so realistic!!"

"strong!"

"Damn it! What are you trying to do, you woman over there? It's just a projection, let go of that filthy hand grabbing at Luo Chen, the Eighth Dan!!"

"..."

The commotion was so loud that some of it even reached the second floor, causing Luo Chen, who was hearing it, to pause slightly in surprise.

"Don't worry, it's just a new technology that makes it easier for everyone to see the shogi match clearly. Of course, you can also record the video as a souvenir."

Sakari Sumito specifically explained to Luo Chen.

"Is that so?"

Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose and joked to himself, "Looks like I'm too inexperienced. Mr. Chengren, please continue."

"Hi~." Sakari Sumito cleared his throat, turned and walked out of the Go room. Standing by the railing, he shouted loudly, "The first round of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament, Adachi Ward Rakuten 8-dan vs. Shinobu Taishi 9-dan, begins now!!"

"Whoa~!!!"

Outside, a commotion arose again.

Inside the chess room.

This time, Luo Chen was not distracted by the outside world. He focused all his attention on one thing, squinted his eyes, and took the first step.

Of course, there's no need to be anxious about it.

Take the initiative!

no doubt.

The same Kanto-style Go game, which is subject to countless variations, is played by Shinobu Daishi.

First move *2!

Immediately following, the two began to set up their densely packed board positions, and the speed at which they played the game was so fast that it was almost dazzling!

Inside the Go room, everyone except Sakari Sumito, including Kamina Ayumu and Kofuji, was completely focused, their eyes glued to the Go board, afraid of missing even the slightest detail...

……

In the commentary box.

Today, the two people representing the commentators for this match are both 9-dan level.

The other is Kenta Kujigawa, a 9-dan Go player who is also very famous in the Kansai region and once had a brief period of glory, winning the A-level title.

(To explain again: The meaning of 9-dan A-rank is that a person is simultaneously a professional 9-dan and an A-rank player. Once you are promoted to professional 9-dan, it usually becomes a permanent title, while an A-rank player must maintain a certain number of wins to retain it.)

Interestingly, this rather old, seemingly over fifty-year-old Kansai 9-dan player, Kenta Kujikawa, has recently been very optimistic about Takuto Uchimura.

Rumors have it that this person has always wanted to recruit Uchimura Takuto, an 8th-dan professional, as his disciple.

If this is true, then Luo Chen, who recently brought Uchimura Takuto to the brink of mental collapse, undoubtedly has some grudge against this veteran 9-dan player from Kansai...

"Senior Kujigawa, what are your thoughts on the first move in this game?"

On the commentary stand, Sheng.

Kenta Kujikawa stared intently at the game between Luo Chen and Shinobu Taishi, and said calmly, "Right now, we certainly can't see much, but according to my prediction, Shinobu Taishi is likely to have the upper hand!"

"Oh? What's your opinion on this, Kujikawa-senpai? Is it just because Shinobukuro's rank is higher?" Ikushi Mitsuru expressed his curiosity.

Kenta Kujikawa said, "Of course it's not that superficial. I'm looking at speed! The speed of the first move in the early game! ... From this point of view, that young master of Adachi Ward is clearly far inferior to Shinobukuro."

"Undeniably, Shinobu has a natural advantage in this area, but recently there's been a lot of talk about the talent and abilities of that young master from Adachi Ward."

"What?" Kenta Kujigawa asked rhetorically.

“This…” Ikushi Mitsuki smiled.

"If that's the case, then we can actually try to predict the key to victory in this game sooner rather than later."

Kenta Kujikawa smiled confidently, "Given equal talent, experience naturally comes first. Shinobu, with more wins and match experience, and a deeper understanding of this talent, undoubtedly has an incredible advantage!"

After hesitating for a long time, Ikushi shook his head with a smile and said, "Kujikawa-senpai's analysis is indeed very reasonable, but I cannot agree with the key to winning this game."

"Oh?" Kenta Kujikawa narrowed his eyes and asked, "So what are your thoughts? Was there anything in my statement that wasn't precise enough?"

"Actually, as I've already said, Kujikawa-senpai's analysis is indeed very accurate and irrefutable," Ikushi Mitsuru said with a faint smile.

Kenta Kujigawa: "Then..."

"But senior missed a point." Sakurashi Mitsuru had a faint smile on his face and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Outsiders' speculations are ultimately just outsiders' speculations. They can be believed, but it would be inappropriate to believe them all."

As for the others... Senior Kujikawa, do you really naively believe that a young man who went from unranked to professional 8th dan in just three months, and is now even sitting in the 9A rank, is that really so simple?!

Chapter 395 This is a provocation and a declaration of war against her!
