Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

"What an amazing skill!"

Sai marveled, savoring the high level of this step, his body even began to sway slightly.

"It's been so many years... I haven't felt this way, this exhilarating feeling of meeting a worthy opponent..."

Sai lowered his eyes slightly.

"Akira Touya has already lost. His father must have seen this when he left."

"With that high-scoring move, the game is over."

"It's time to wrap up this game!"

……

Sai sighed, "But... it's such a pity that the boy named Akira Touya didn't let this boy named Su Ran unleash his full potential."

"If... I were the one playing this game against Su Ran, how wonderful that would be..."

Hikaru Shindo blinked: "Sai... but even Akira Touya only won by two and a half points, while Su Ran won by thirteen points!"

"Besides, Su Ran is still a primary school student. I don't think you can easily win the game and become a professional Go player."

Upon hearing this, Sai leaned closer to Hikaru Shindo and said, "Hikaru, I wasn't playing very seriously in the match against Akira Touya."

"Ok?"

Hikaru Shindo was somewhat stunned.

"That's a demonstration game."

Sai explained, "The purpose of guiding a game is to lead the opponent to the correct move. A guide will not use a move that requires all their strength in order to win."

"Then..." Hikaru Shindo asked, "So that means you should be much stronger than Akira Touya?"

Zuo smiled but said nothing.

Hikaru Shindo continued to murmur:

"But, but Akira Touya is just a primary school student like me, and he even lost to Su Ran twice, so even if..."

"Sai, you may be able to beat Akira Touya, but you might not be able to defeat Su Ran, who is praised even by Touya Meijin, right?"

"After all, there's still a big gap between ordinary people and Su Ran, right?"

"What did you just say, Xiao Guang?"

Sai's expression was unusually serious, and he habitually covered his lower lip with his pale yellow folding fan.

"This boy named Akira Touya is no ordinary elementary school student!"

Sai raised his head and looked at Akira Touya, who was sitting opposite Su Ran.

"Although it is not yet mature, it was able to deliver such a dazzling move. In fact... because of that move, I also felt that my true power was slowly awakening."

"His courage to draw his sword against the stronger ones also stirred my emotions."

"When he grows up, he will surely become a fierce tiger, or perhaps even a dragon..."

"And now, he's starting to show his fangs!"

"To Su Ran, and to me too!"

"He revealed his true strength!"

Sai gripped the folding fan tightly!

"Xiao Guang, I want to play chess with that young man from the Tang Dynasty named Su Ran!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: Reshaping a Thousand-Year Heritage – Our Duty Is Inescapable!

In the midst of a chess game.

Akira Touya stared intently at the Go board in front of him, as if he had gone mad, staring blankly at that move, the high-scoring move with four rows and five columns.

"Su Ran... could this move have been taught by your father? Su Yuan, the Chess Saint of China... is he really that strong?"

Unlike those chess fans who simply cannot understand the brilliance of this high-level move.

As a party directly involved in the game, Akira Touya could better appreciate the power of that brilliant move and that decisive strike!

With that one move, heaven and earth vanished, leaving only the echo of the chess piece!

It was like a thunderbolt to his head, a wake-up call!

"How...how can I defeat you?"

Akira Touya searched for the perfect spot on the board, the one that could radiate starlight and turn the tide of battle!

"No...they've all gone out..."

The light in Akira Touya's eyes dimmed more and more.

“Su Ran… Hikaru Shindo… and that unattainable Chess Saint of China…”

A moment later, Akira Touya seemed to have all his strength drained away, and the white stone in his hand slumped to the ground with a loud clang.

"I lost."

Akira Touya finally gave up, closed his eyes with a sigh, and resigned.

These words were like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing the entire Go club to explode!

The crowd stopped suppressing their voices.

"Give up? How is that possible? You could still have won!"

"That's right, that high-scoring move was an unexpectedly good one, but both black and white can still coexist in this area. There's no reason to concede now!"

"I can definitely keep going."

"Yeah, it's not even over yet, how can we give up like this?"

"How about we count them? I feel the situation is pretty even, and White might even have an extra point or two. We can definitely continue playing!"

"Exactly, exactly, here, a diagonal move, what's wrong with that? Isn't it a very good move?"

Among the chess fans watching, only Mr. Gu Tian, ​​whose chess skills were the highest, remained silent. He just stared blankly at that brilliant move, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What's wrong, Mr. Gu Dian?"

"Gu Tianjun, you once participated in the professional Go player assessment. Did you notice anything?"

"Can we disembark here, Mr. Gu Dian?"

Mr. Gu Dian remained silent and did not answer. He looked up at Su Ran, who was holding a black pen, his eyes filled with deep shock.

Su Ran sat in the chair, her face calm and composed.

"This... Su Ran, he, he is probably... his strength has far exceeded that of a professional fifth dan, no, even a sixth dan player."

Mr. Gu Dian was shocked by his own ideas!

"He, Su Ran, is indeed qualified to challenge Touya Meijin. He is only twelve years old!"

"That high-level eye technique, even a professional would probably have to think for a long time to come up with it, right?"

"In that game of chess filled with the clash of swords and shadows, he actually made every move a feint? Only at the high point did he finally reveal his true intentions, unleashing all the power he had accumulated?"

hiss……

Mr. Gu Dian took a deep breath, his eyes filled with horror:

"Could it be that this Bu Gaomu is the legendary..."

"God, the divine hand!?"

……

Mr. Gu Dian looked at Su Ran and remained silent.

"Mr. Gu Dian?"

Someone nearby asked, "Mr. Gu Tian, ​​can you tell why Xiao Liang gave up?"

Mr. Gu Tian exclaimed in surprise, snapping out of his reverie: "Excuse me, I was just looking... well, I guess I've figured it out a little..."

"Really? If it's convenient, could you please help us analyze it?"

Mr. Gu Dian was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Xiao Liang really has no sons left to carry on his line."

"How is that possible?" a chess fan exclaimed.

"Aren't there many places where we can play? We've only just reached the middle game, and you're already concluding that White has no way out?"

Mr. Gu Tian nodded: "At every important point, under the Black's offensive, there are actually nails deeply driven in, especially..."

Mr. Gu Tian sighed dramatically, his voice filled with melancholy:

"Especially! After that brilliant move, all these previously unrelated points miraculously came together..."

At this point, after listening to Mr. Gu Dian's explanation, the chess enthusiasts began to re-examine the game.

After a while.

"Hiss... How is this possible?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"No matter how hard we try to salvage the situation, the corners and edges are firmly under Kuroko's control."

"Even if Xiao Liang were to capture the central area, he wouldn't be able to overcome the enormous disadvantage at the four corners and edges..."

"This Su Ran is actually this strong?"

"Incredible!"

……

Akira Touya announced his surrender.

next second.

As Su Ran was silently observing the chessboard, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind again:
