...

The chess room on the second floor of the Chess Club.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen and Shinobu Daishi's game had reached the 58th move.

Compared to other battles, what's rather strange about this game is that even after dragging on to the 58th move, neither side seemed inclined to completely drag the game into the middle game...

Yes, that's right!

At move 58, the two players were still locked in a stalemate in the front row.

What's even more interesting is that, even though it's only the early game, the current game and the scheming between the two seem to be even more intense than in the middle game or even the end game!

Snapped!

The crisp sound of chess pieces falling echoed once more in the chess room.

"It's the 64th."

As one of the referees for this match, Kofuji closed his eyes briefly and silently repeated in his mind, "It seems that Luo Chen, 8th Dan, is really going to fight Shinobu Taishi-senpai to the very end, madman!"

"Oh? Interesting, very interesting indeed. As expected of my dear friend, his indomitable spirit is truly admirable."

Kamiya Ayumu was equally focused on the chessboard, her thoughts still tinged with childish angst: "Then let us take a good look at the only one in the last ten years capable of breaking through the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net."

There are no unsolvable techniques for dealing with the opening sequence!

He is completely different from Kofuji.

In this game, Fujii completely sided with Shinobu Taishi, and he firmly believed that Luo Chen would win!

The other eight judges inside the room also had different expressions, constantly changing slightly, and strange light flashed in their eyes.

Snapped!

*Smack!*2

*Smack!*3

In the blink of an eye, the game has reached an unprecedented 3.275 moves!

His mind is constantly shifting. It must be over 3500 moves by now, right?

Shinobu Daishi thought to himself, "It's Yu Guitou who has a keen eye for talent. Back when everyone was guessing, he pointed out the possibility of more than 3000 moves."

Even so!

"Kid, you think you can beat me in the early game? Not so fast." Shinobu Daishi smiled and calmly picked up Keiba and put it down.

Move 76, continue to establish a good position in the previous rounds!

Chapter 397 Lord NineA, can we please not make our chess discussion so abstract?

"The two of them are really at odds."

From the commentary booth, Mitsuru Ikushi watched the game on the chessboard and couldn't help but chuckle and make a sarcastic remark.

Kenta Kujikawa pondered for a moment and said, "If I said at this moment that Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, was being a bit irrational, would you disagree with me?"

"of course not."

Ikushi Mitsu laughed heartily and said, "The front board of the Myriad Forms of Heavenly Net is famous throughout the entire Go world. Apart from not having played against the Chairman, no one else can solve it at all. They can only watch helplessly as Shinonome shamelessly takes the lead in the front board."

Afterwards, he chuckled, a rare occurrence for him, completely out of character for the serious 9A players, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Of course, we will turn the tide in the mid-game and the endgame!"

Kenta Kujikawa's lips twitched, but he didn't take Ikushi Mitsuru's teasing to heart. His voice was slightly serious, yet filled with curiosity: "So, here's the question: since almost everyone thinks that it's extremely irrational for Luo Chen 12-dan to go head-to-head with Shinobu Taishi 9-dan at this time, doesn't Luo Chen 8-dan know that? If he does know, why does he insist on taking such an irrational action?"

"Kujikawa-senpai, you've finally hit the nail on the head." Ikuishi Mitsuhiro smiled approvingly and nodded slowly.

"Heh~." Kenta Kujikawa breathed a sigh of relief, and was also somewhat smug.

Although he briefly reached the professional 9-dan level, his peak period was too short. Furthermore, when he reached the professional 9-dan level, he did not obtain the A title; he simply accumulated his wins.

Therefore, he was naturally in a good mood to receive praise from a true 9A warrior like Mitsuru Ikushi, whose peak period lasted for such a long time.

"Please enlighten me," Kenta Kujikawa said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Ikishiro Mitsuhiro let out a muffled "hmm" from his throat, then, stroking his chin with one hand, slowly said, "However, I don't know either."

Kenta Kujigawa: "???"

Inside the venue, including on the live stream, countless shogi fans were also asking questions, stunned by Ikushi Mitsuru's sudden and unconventional response.

No, I'm a renowned 9-dan A-level Go player, can you please not be so abstract when you're explaining the game?

"However, based on my understanding of Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, he never speaks without reason. Since he has chosen to confront Shinobu Daishi head-on to this point, there must be a reason for it."

"Heh~, even so, I still can't take back my previous opinion. The initial phase of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net is unsolvable! But, at this moment, I feel a bit of anticipation in my heart..."

"Today, perhaps we can witness a miracle again!"

Ikushi Mitsuru's tone became genuinely serious, and he added jokingly, "After all, the reason why the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net is unsolvable is that Shinonome Daishi's ability to interpret and extend his skills is simply too profound, and no one can solve it. But, what if someone has an even deeper foundation than him? Wouldn't that be..."

"impossible!!"

The answer from Kenta Kujigawa was incredibly firm, and he also raised a question: "Luo Chen, an 8th dan, is only 17 years old, right?!"

"Isn't it precisely because he's 17 that he has such limitless possibilities?... Hmm? Both of them are crazy, they're almost at their 100th move..." Ikushi Mitsuru raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Countless eyes once again focused on the chessboard.

Because it was a virtual projection, many chess fans and professional players who came to the venue today were able to clearly see the expressions on Luo Chen's and Shinobu Daishi's faces and in their eyes.

This surprised many people!

"Have you noticed that Lord Shinobu Taishi's relaxed expression has disappeared?"

"Not only did his relaxed expression disappear, but over this period of time, Lord Shinobu Taishi's expression continued to grow increasingly serious!"

Even their eyes!

"What does this mean?!"

"As the head-to-head battles continued, was Shinobu Taishi constantly revising his assessment of the devilish young master in his heart?"

"It means it's getting more and more terrifying, and it's still getting more and more terrifying!!"

"This……"

"Just as Lord Kujikawa said, Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, is only 17 years old. At this age, it is already a great honor to be able to play against a true 9A player."

"What's more, he's constantly redefining the opponent's 9A rating and understanding. Luo Chen, the 8th Dan, will probably become famous after today's battle!"

"Completely famous? Ha~, in just three months, he went from unranked to eighth dan, and even defeated young champions like Ayumu Kamina, Kofuji, and Yaichi Kuzuryu. You should say he's already famous!"

"Hehe, it's alright! Because when I played against Fujii last time, he used the Flying Chariot, and now I've started to like him. Otherwise, if I supported his opponent in every game, my mentality would collapse!"

"So, the question is, just how terrifying is Luo Chen's true strength as an eighth-dan cultivator?"

"The game is still going on, which means that even now, Luo Chen, an eighth-dan player, hasn't shown his true strength yet?"

"Oh no! We've already reached move 136. How long are these two planning to keep this game going?"

"136 moves, that seems to be something that can be recorded in history..."

"Nonsense! Of course!!"

"..." 457

Countless people, countless discussions, countless surprises.

And if the spectators behaved like this, then Shinobu Daishi, as the opponent, would undoubtedly be even more outrageous!

And the audience's guesses were correct.

Since the start of this battle, he has indeed been constantly revising his perception and evaluation of Luo Chen.

Even before the battle began, they had already held Luo Chen in extremely high regard, yet Luo Chen was still able to continue to redefine their opinion of him under these circumstances!

When they had played 80 moves in the early game, he clicked his tongue in amazement. Yu Guitouyao was indeed sharp-eyed, able to see that this kid was capable of interpreting moves beyond 3000 moves, completely crushing those who could only extend their skills through non-interpretation.

It would take at least 4000 hands of reading skills to achieve such an exaggerated level!

Even now...

The game has already gone through 152 moves in the early stages!

Shinobu Daishi remained silent in his heart.

Chapter 398 He's Going to Throw the Ball

What's with this "interpreting 3000 hands" or "4000 hands"?

He was able to engage in a fierce battle with Shinobu Osamu in the early game, pulling the ball back and forth for 152 moves, and showing no signs of weakness or decline in his overall strategic vision.

The kid on the other side has extended his analysis to at least 6000 moves!

Yes.

In fact, in his daily games, he usually only needs to make this many moves to make judgments. After all, 5000 moves of judgment is enough to crush any opponent.

Of course, this is also because he hasn't played a proper match with a real 9A team in recent years.

Without the Nine A's, he wouldn't need to unleash his full potential. Since he wouldn't need to unleash his full potential, 5000 interpretations would be more than enough.
