In the morning's match, Shinobu Taishi 9-dan even resigned before reaching the middle game due to lack of energy.
Seventy percent of people believe that raising animals is not a big deal.
No matter what, Shinobu Daishi, 9th dan, has the title of 9th dan A on his name. No matter how old he is, he is not someone that a mere 8th dan youngster can risk offending.
The value of a 9-dan A level is still considered terrifying and unapproachable by most people.
It was under such public opinion that...
At 2 p.m., Luo Chen appeared in the chess room on the second floor.
When he arrived, he was surprised to find that Shinobu Daishi had already arrived and was kneeling in front of the chessboard, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
Others, even referees like Ayumi Kamina and Sumito Sakari, haven't actually arrived at the scene yet.
"Senior Shinowa".
Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah."
Shinobu Daishi nodded, opened his eyes, and his old eyes, sharp and insightful, fell upon him as if they could see through everything.
Luo Chen looked him over generously, with a smile on his face.
"Luo Chen."
Shinobu Daishi murmured, "You are truly an exceptionally outstanding child. At least for the next hundred years, no one of your age can surpass you!"
Luo Chen was surprised: "Even the president..."
"The president is probably the type who achieves great things late in life," Shinobu Daishi said with a smile. "You might not believe it, but it's true. Until he was in his twenties, the president was always the kind of clueless, low-level Go player."
Luo Chen was stunned.
This was the first time he had ever heard of this!
"So, before you, the little guy we 9-dan A-rank players all admired was Kuzuryu Yaichi, who is also the youngest person in Japanese history to win the Dragon King title," Shinobu Daishi said with a smile.
"Ba Yi, he is indeed a very capable guy," Luo Chen praised.
“Compared to you, I’m still far behind,” said Shinobu Daishi.
Luo Chen neither agreed nor disagreed, and he didn't feign modesty much on this topic.
Shinobu Taishi said, "Before this elimination round started, I thought you would be a tough opponent, and I even joked with Meijin, 'I won't lose to you, will I?' But I never expected that my words would come true!"
"It was because you showed mercy, senior." Luo Chen shook his head, both amused and exasperated. At this moment, he couldn't afford to be too arrogant.
"You boy!"
Shinobu Daishi chuckled and rolled his eyes at Luo Chen, but inwardly he couldn't help feeling immense admiration and satisfaction. He said, "No matter what, a loss is a loss. Although I find it hard to accept, for a professional Go player, this is a fact that must be accepted sooner or later."
Luo Chen remained silent.
"So, after thinking about it for a whole noon, I made a decision," Shinobu Taishi said.
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow: "A decision?"
"A mediocre ending, regardless of victory or defeat, is ultimately too dull."
Shinobu Daishi raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said slowly, "If that's the case, as a member of the 9A team and a representative of an era in the Go world, how can you willingly accept a quiet and uneventful end?"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, sensing that Shinobu Daishi was about to pull off something big.
"so!"
Shinobu Daishi laughed and asked, "Luo Chen, I lost a small hand to you this morning. Do you think I can win it back this afternoon?!"
Luo Chen was speechless.
understood!
Shinobu Daishi, he wanted to continue to fight against himself in the early stages.
If I had to put it in a way, I'd call it stubbornness!
But if you look at it from another angle, isn't this also a kind of perseverance?
Commendable perseverance!!
Luo Chen nodded slightly and smiled, "If that's what you mean, senior, then I really need to be careful. I only managed to win by chance this morning."
"You little rascal!" Shinobu Daishi rolled his eyes again, laughing and scolding, "You're a classic example of a wolf in sheep's clothing! It's impossible to guess what you're saying!"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes and reminded him, "Hey, senior, a smile hiding a needle isn't a good thing."
"Haha! Then you can give me a sneak peek at how many techniques you've developed for interpreting and extending your skills. Once you tell me, I won't say that about you anymore!" Shinobu Daishi said with a smile.
Luo Chen said seriously, "Please continue to use the phrase 'a smile hiding a needle' to describe me. Suddenly, I feel that, at times, it can also be a compliment."
Shinobu Daishi: "???"
Oh shit!
That kid!
"Then you can at least secretly tell me if you have any other talents or abilities besides interpreting extended interpretations, right?"
Shinobu Daishi glanced around again, but still no one was there. He continued to press for an answer, determined not to give up until he received one.
We have to answer either the previous question or this one!
Luo Chen pursed his lips, and under Shinobu Daishi's eager and inquisitive gaze, nodded slightly and said, "If senior really wants to know... alright, I do!"
"Really?!" Shinobu Daishi was shocked.
Luo Chen smiled brightly and said, "There's more than one!"
Shinobu Daishi: "!!!"
Chapter 405 The Will and Faith of 9A
2:30!
Inside the chess room, the projector, which included Luo Chen and Shinobu Daishi, was once again projected onto the lobby of the Chess Club!
The two sat facing each other, their expressions serious.
In just a moment, the Chess Club hall, which had been silent for about three hours, was reignited.
"Lord Shinokawa Taishi!!"
"Lord Shinobu Taishi has indeed recovered! I knew it! How could a battle this morning have left Lord Shinobu Taishi so utterly defeated!"
"The 9A warriors are invincible!!"
"Lord Shinobu Taishi, you must win!"
"Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net! Full power! Kill them all!!"
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan!!!"
"Young Master just got here!"
"Young Master, I want to have your babies!"
"The Devilish Young Master is the only true god! Charge! Defeat the Ninth A soldiers before you! You are the only true god of this era!"
"Just got it!!!"
"..."
Amidst the cheers, Sumito Sakanashi stepped forward and announced that the second set of the first half of the Meijin tournament knockout stage had officially begun!
For a moment, everyone held their breath, but as Luo Chen placed his first chess piece, the atmosphere reignited.
And yet, it turned into a chorus of cheers once again.
Although Luo Chen and Shinobu Daishi couldn't hear any of this.
The two had already discussed it beforehand.
We must go all out in this game.
To the extent that one can interpret and extend the interpretation, !
The 7000 trades this morning seem to have reached their limit.
Right now, right now!
We must at least break this limit!!
As the game of chess continued, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, recalling the last words Shinobu Daishi had said to him before Sakari Sumito and the others entered.
The slightly elderly, nearly 60-year-old 9-dan A-level Go player laughed heartily and pointed at him, saying, "Young Luo Chen! I admit, in front of a young man as exquisite and brilliant as you, there is little chance of winning."
However, I would also like to ask you to grant me one wish!
After all, besides you and the president, I'm afraid no one else could have done it. And besides you, probably no one else would let me continue to be so willful.
Luo Chen's answer to this question was, "Okay!"
Therefore, the two players continued their fierce battle in the early stages of the game, and after move 20, they simultaneously launched into a mental storm.
A breakthrough in interpretation, constantly emerging!
