The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Come and see me today... see what I look like when I play chess."

Xiaoyu...

Luo Yuyan was slightly taken aback; for the first time, her expression was drawn to her daughter.

The final round of the professional exam is actually an open tournament, which is a competition that can be broadcast by the media. This has been the tradition of the Go Association for decades.

Therefore, today, unrelated personnel are allowed to come and watch the competition, to watch these candidates' final round of matches.

Candidates seeing this scene for the first time might be a little surprised, but... in fact, the media's attention will only be focused on the seeded players. Many media outlets gathered at the professional examination venue early in the morning, bringing their own cameras.

Moreover... this morning, another large private spaceship docked under the rain shelter of the Yongyue City Professional Chess Academy.

Engine off...

A little girl with purple scorpion braids was the first to emerge from the spaceship. She was Ye Xiaomi, who had traveled to Moon King City a month ago. Accompanying her was a cute girl with long, silver curly hair, wearing a light blue Taoist robe and a blue baseball cap.

"As expected... we still need to choose our teammates from these newly minted professional Go players from Crescent Moon Province and Full Moon Province."

Liu Chongxi said calmly, gently taking off his blue baseball cap, and his long, silver curly hair immediately floated into the sky.

"New first-dan Go player from the Imperial Moon Province, disembark..."

Ye Xiaomi said softly, and several black figures walked down the door of the spaceship.

A girl with long black hair walked at the front, wearing a black Taoist robe. Behind her were three boys and girls wearing the same style of black Taoist robe, but her expression was not good.

She also knew that, compared to the new first-stage students of Full Moon Province and Crescent Moon Province, they were not expected to succeed at all.

They... will definitely regain their dignity in the upcoming Young Tigers competition.

How can you know who's stronger or weaker without a competition?!

Imperial Moon Province, Honinbo Ke Family, Ke Jiurui, Professional First Stage.

Imperial Moon Province, Honinbo Ke Family, Ke Jiusi, Professional First Stage.

Imperial Moon Province, Honinbo Ke Family, Ke Jiuyan, Professional First Stage.

Imperial Moon Province, Honinbo Ke Family, Ke Jiuying, Professional First Dan.

The other new first stage in the Imperial Moon Province consisted of two little girls with long, curly brown hair.

They walked out of the spaceship hand in hand, like twins. The two little girls were quite cute... They looked to be around 13 years old, much younger than the Ke family's group of chess players, all of whom were over 16.

"Tonight is the celebration banquet for our professional careers. We'll meet in the lobby of the Yongyue City Professional Chess Academy tonight," Liu Chongxi said casually, glancing at his phone.

She is currently a professional 3-dan, and is also the chief referee for this year's Imperial Moon Province professional examination. She is also the team leader for the six new 1-dan students from Imperial Moon Province, which means... the six of them have to listen to her obediently during the Young Tiger Tournament!!

The reason she wields so much power now is because she has been chosen as the captain of the Moon Team for the Scorpio Cup, a Go tournament that will be held a month from now. The team consists of only her and Ye Xiaomi, who has just reached the professional 2-dan level.

The Scorpion Cup requires professional Go players under 18 years old who are below the third dan level... It's a 5v5 super team tournament, and a long-awaited opportunity to play against young Go players from other planets and federations. All the Go associations on all planets attach great importance to this interstellar competition, the Scorpion Cup.

Of course... after serving as a judge for a month-long professional examination in Diyue Province, Liu Chongxi had already eliminated the spots for those useless members of the Ke family...

Honestly, what kind of people are they? It's a wonder the Ke family still holds a place among the three major Go families on the moon...

Liu Chongxi thought disdainfully.

Lu Kuangmei from Full Moon Province and Ji Yingting from New Moon Province... these two are the super chess players she absolutely must choose.

Liu Chongxi knew that... after the Young Tiger Tournament, a new batch of first-dan supernovas would be selected.

[Chapter Recommendation: Who Says Women Can't Play CS?] This is very interesting. I've been following this book, and I think the author's writing is quite good, but unfortunately, the updates aren't very frequent. It was just released yesterday, so those who are interested can check it out.

Chapter 268: The Six Concubines

Are all the players present?

In the lobby of Yongyue City, many staff members waited anxiously.

The final round of the professional exam will not be held at the original venue, but will instead take place in a large hall of the Go Academy for the players to use.

The venue was well insulated, preventing any of the torrential rain from getting in through the windows, and there was also a cool breeze at a comfortable temperature.

The chessboards and tables were all covered with red tablecloths, and the jade chessboards were placed quietly on them. They had just been cleaned by the staff yesterday.

The luxurious lobby was blocked by staff, and the media were not allowed to enter for the time being.

Not only the media, but also several new first-dan players from Full Moon Province and Imperial Moon Province came here with curiosity.

There were thirty Go tables set up in the venue, and a total of sixty people from Group A and Group B were all crammed outside the door.

Soon, after the staff had placed timers on all the tables, the sign blocking the door was removed.

"In the first group, Ji Yingting plays white, and Cui Jinlie plays black."

A staff member using a megaphone announced that the seating arrangement for the final round of players was based on the combined winning games of the two players.

Ji Yingting...

The name surprised several newly promoted first-dan players from the Imperial Moon Province. Was the top player from the Crescent Moon Province also surnamed Ji?

However, they didn't seem to have heard of the name Ji Yingting.

Some media outlets seemed somewhat relieved, having previously reported on Ji Yingting's undefeated record in the provincial competition.

But that competition was just a small provincial promotion tournament, and Ji Yingting had not yet reached the point of being famous.

Many people, including chess players and media from other provinces, were hearing Ji Yingting's name for the first time at the professional examination venue.

Sakuraba-nee... as expected, it was no surprise that she became a professional Go player.

A girl with long, ice-blue hair took a deep breath. Not far from her, a beautiful girl with long, snow-white hair stared wide-eyed with curiosity, her snow-white eyebrows slightly raised.

"Ji Yingting? Ji?"

A little girl with long purple hair was slightly taken aback. She gently looked up at Ji Qiuyao beside her.

She was born into the Ji family and doesn't remember anyone named Ji Yingting... Could it be a coincidence?

Ji Wanying frowned slightly. Her purple eyebrows were about three years younger than Ji Yingting. When Ji Yingting left the Ji family, she was still too young to remember anything, so it was normal that she didn't know Ji Yingting.

But... Sister Qiuyao doesn't seem to have any special reaction.

She didn't live in the Ji family when she was a child, so didn't she find it strange that there were other chess players with the same surname as Ji?

Ji Wanying was slightly puzzled. She raised her long purple hair and looked ahead.

Soon, a stunningly beautiful girl with long, light green hair emerged from the crowd. A light green ribbon hung from her hair, and her dark blue Taoist robe draped down to her calves, revealing snow-white knee-high stockings and silver cloth boots.

Her light green Hime-style hair fell to her ear tips, and her light green bangs slightly covered her eyes. Her two small hands were tucked into her dark blue sleeves, making her the center of attention.

With her eyes half-closed, Ji Yingting walked to the chessboard table at the very front of the venue and sat down gently.

Although she was being stared at by many people, Ji Yingting didn't feel nervous at all... After all, she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, and she didn't even know how many people were in the venue.

Her pale green crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her pale purple starry eyes slowly opened. Opposite her, facing the starry sky, sat a boy with blond spiky hair, his expression slightly solemn.

"Hoo..." Ji Yingting gently blew a breath, and her pale purple starry eyes instantly turned into pale green. The faint moonlight green appeared in front of Cui Jinlie's eyes, and something seemed to appear behind her. Her long green hair fluttered in the wind.

After this game, I'll be a professional Go player...

His eyes were slightly open, his crescent-shaped pale green pupils full of spirit, his cool gaze fixed on the blond boy in front of him.

Is she the older sister... or the younger sister?

Looking at the crescent moons in Ji Yingting's eyes, he recalled the figure from two years ago, a fiery red figure.

They look... really alike, no... you could also say they look completely different.

Cui Jinlie was slightly stunned.

Ji Hongying had long, fiery red hair and arched, fiery red eyebrows. Her beautiful face was full of heroic spirit, and her chess moves were also very fierce.

Although she appears domineering, she exudes a delicate aura when she makes a move, and her frail body appears quite sickly.

Ji Yingting had long, eye-catching bluish-green hair, and her exquisite face was as fair and delicate as a soft porcelain doll... breathtakingly beautiful.

However, her eyes were filled with a strong sense of oppression, and her aura moved without wind. Her terrifying presence seemed to be able to tear her opponent apart at any moment.

The pale green crescent moon seemed to hang upside down in the starry sky, and a slender, fair hand gently extended from the dark blue sleeve.

Ji Yingting stared at Cui Jinlie gently, and everything in front of him seemed to turn gray.

Huh? His pale golden eyes widened slightly in surprise, and everything around him instantly turned to ashes...

The next moment, a strange starry sky appeared around his body.

How could this be? The game hasn't even started yet, how could I possibly see this scene...?

This is... the Chess Arena?

A pair of pale green, firefly-like eyes blinked gently, and Ji Yingting slowly opened her blue-green eyes wide.

"You...you should be becoming a professional Go player soon, right?"

With her lips slightly parted, Ji Yingting spoke softly.

This must be a very unfamiliar thing for you; it's your first game since becoming a professional Go player.

But... for me, this is an atmosphere I miss dearly, holding this chess piece once again as a professional player.

"Welcome to...my territory, welcome to...my starry sky."

Ji Yingting narrowed her pale green moonlight eyes slightly and said, tilting her long, bluish-green hair.

"call…"

A wisp of green smoke billowed out, moonlight-colored eyes shone on his body, and a gigantic green creature hovered above Cui Jinlie's head. Its green furry body was enormous, like a blue cat in the starry sky.

Huh!? A pair of pale golden pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a cute, giant cat lying on the starry chessboard, staring at him with pale green eyes, while his own body gradually became smaller.

"Awoo!" The green cat stuck out its tongue and licked Cui Jinlie's tiny body, which looked like an ant. Suddenly, it opened its big mouth and swallowed his head whole.

"Huff!!" Gasping for breath, Cui Jinlie snapped out of his hallucination, his cheeks already soaked with sweat.

Before him, a stunningly beautiful girl with long, light green hair sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the game to begin. Her slender legs, clad in snow-white stockings, were together, and her pale green eyes were slightly narrowed, as if nothing had happened.

The black chess piece he was holding in his right hand trembled slightly; he had inadvertently picked up a black chess piece...

Even before the game started, fear had already gripped him.
