The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

After a few people whispered among themselves, a girl with long, silver, curly hair stood up and announced in a calm voice.

At the same time, the chess players from the Ke family immediately tensed up, as they certainly knew the identity of the girl in front of them.

She wore a light blue Taoist robe, and her silver eyes had a slightly strange quality; she was a thirteen-year-old girl.

"My name is Liu Chongxi, a professional 3-dan. I am honored to have been selected as the captain of the Moon Team participating in the Scorpion Cup. Fortunately, the organizers over there have just changed the rules... Each planet can send three teams to compete in the Scorpion Cup, tripling the number of slots. The rules for the Young Tiger Tournament will also be temporarily changed, probably to become an exhibition match. The number of teams participating in the Scorpion Cup will also increase from one to three."

Three times! Ke Jiurui's tense heart immediately calmed down; this meant the chances were very high!

Liu Chongxi explained calmly that compared to something as important as the Interstellar Scorpion Cup, the new first-stage tournament on the lunar mainland was insignificant. Moreover, with the expansion of the number of participants, there was no longer a need to rely on the rankings of the Young Tiger Tournament to select participants.

"Then, she is Ye Xiaomi, the captain of the Moon Team Two, a professional second-dan player."

Liu Chongxi pointed to a girl with a scorpion braid sitting next to her and said, Ye Xiaomi stood up gently and nodded.

Finally, a girl with long, dark blue hair stood up from her seat.

"She is Chu Jiangyu, the captain of Lunar Team Three, a professional second-dan."

Chapter 271: The Dispute Over Quotas

Following Liu Zhongxi's introduction, the last girl, with long, dark blue hair, stood up from her seat.

"She is Chu Jiangyu, the captain of Lunar Team Three, a professional second-dan."

The girl named Chu Jiangyu had long blue bob hair and a cute face that was slightly silent, but her pair of sea-blue eyes were very intelligent.

..................................................

Chu Jiangyu, 16 years old, became a professional first-dan in the professional assessment in Huangyue City, Xinyue Province last year, and is now a professional second-dan, Ye Xiaomi's classmate.

Is the Chu family a family of Go players?

In the past few days, Ji Yingting seemed to have heard of many professional Go players with the surname Chu, and she asked Ji Bingyuan in confusion.

"The Chu family? They're a Go family, but not a Go family from the moon."

Ji Bingyuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

"The Chu family on the moon is just a small, insignificant clan, more like a collateral branch. However, the true Chu family is a super-powerful family on Mercury, even surpassing the Ji and Luo families on the moon in status."

"Oh..." Ji Yingting nodded gently, her long, light green hair swaying, and made a curious sound.

"Chu Fanhe, the seven-time champion chess master of Mercury and head of the Chu family, is ranked ninth in the entire universe's chess world... Even the head of the Xuehuang family is currently only ranked 27th, but that's probably because she's still too young."

"The Seven-Crown Chess Emperor?"

When Ji Bingyuan finished speaking, Ji Yingting's pale purple starry eyes narrowed slightly. Of course, she knew what that title meant; it meant that this Go player named Chu Fanhe had won all the titles in the entire Mercury Go world...

"Ah, but don't worry, Sakuraba. The Moon and Mercury are a bit different. The Chu family dominates Mercury, but no one has been able to hold both titles for a long time on the Moon yet..." Ji Bingyuan said helplessly. Ji Xuehuang didn't seem to have any particular interest in the other titles. Not to mention whether she could successfully obtain them, she didn't even participate in the preliminary rounds.

"Okay, next we'll announce the preliminary list of participants. Of course, although the Go Association has changed the Young Tiger Tournament into an exhibition match, and the rules have been changed so that each player only plays one game and the opponent is determined by drawing lots... we will still adjust the number of participants based on the data from this game."

Liu Chongxi stepped forward and said that since the Young Tiger Tournament had been changed into an exhibition match, it would be reasonable for them to directly determine the Scorpio Cup spots.

"First of all, I am Yoo Jung-hee, the captain of the Moon Team 1, a professional third-dan player."

The young girl with long, silver, curly hair glanced down at the notebook in her hand, her lips slightly parted.

Glug... Cold sweat gradually poured out, and Ke Jiurui could almost hear her heart pounding wildly.

"Lunar Team One's second general, Lü Kuangmei"

Unlike some entertainment programs that keep things mysterious, Liu Zhongxi simply uttered the three words slowly and calmly. However, this approach only made some of the eager players even more nervous.

"Oh..." A stunningly beautiful girl with long, snow-white hair let out a soft "hmm," blinking her snow-white eyes without reacting.

…………

Ok?

Seeing Lü Kuangmei's reaction, Liu Chongxi was slightly taken aback, and then the two stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

"Lu Kuangmei, 1st dan, what are you doing... Players whose names I've called, please stand up. Didn't you hear me clearly?"

Liu Chongxi said with slight displeasure.

"Oh, oh..." The girl played with her snow-white hair with her slender hands, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat puzzled, and she slowly stood up.

Did she just say that? For a moment, not only was Lü Kuangmei stunned, but the other chess players also exchanged glances... Perhaps they really didn't hear clearly.

Who are these people? Are the chess players from over there really reliable? Sitting behind Liu Chongxi, the director of Yongyue City Chess Academy gently rubbed her forehead. Actually... she didn't think Liu Chongxi had said that earlier.

"The Three Generals, the Flower Goddess Cherishes"

"arrive!!"

Instantly, a little girl with long pink bob haircut stood up from her seat.

Ah, very good.

Seeing Hua Shenxi's reaction, Liu Chongxi shook his long, silver, curly hair with satisfaction.

"The Fourth General, Ji Yingting"

"arrive……"

When her name was called, Ji Yingting was slightly taken aback, and she stood up from her seat somewhat awkwardly.

A soft, pink, cherry-like sound came from her lips. To be honest, she didn't even know what kind of competition this was, or how big it was. Could someone kindly explain it to her?

However, being selected must be a very interesting thing, right?

"The Fifth General, Shang Gongying"

"hehe"

The next moment, a girl with long orange hair stood up from the chair indifferently, her orange eyes looking slightly listless.

Today, her outfit was quite striking: a black women's suit paired with somewhat childish orange high pigtails. At less than 1.6 meters tall, she looked like an adult elementary school student.

"Alright, now we have all five members for the Moon Team. The Scorpion Cup rules are that all players must be under 18 years old and at least amateur 3-dan professional players."

Liu Chongxi nodded her long silver hair with satisfaction. As the captain, she was confident that she could lead the team to a terrifying ranking.

Due to the unique nature of her chess position, she has a very high priority in the selection process.

At least... this is a team that appears to have overwhelming combat power on the surface.

Lunar Team One.

General Liu Chongxi.

The second general, Lü Kuangmei.

The Three Generals Cherish the Flower Goddess.

The fourth general, Ji Yingting.

The fifth general, Shang Gongying.

The second team on the moon was selected by Ye Xiaomi, and Ji Yingting only just learned that she had returned to Crescent Province.

Lunar Team Two.

Commander Ye Xiaomi.

The second general is Ji Qiuyao.

The three generals are An Ruotong.

The Four Generals Luo Zhuyu.

The fifth general, Ji Wanying.

Ye Xiaomi, An Ruotong, and Luo Zhuyu are both from the Mingren Chess Academy, so it's not surprising that they would use connections to include them as team members.

However... her choice of the fifth spot surprised many people slightly. Ji Wanying... wasn't she the last place in Manyue Province?

Why did Ye Xiaomi choose her instead of Ji Bingyuan?

Standing next to her, Liu Chongxi was slightly taken aback. She herself had hesitated for a while between Shang Gongying and Ji Bingyuan.

Of course, the two have nothing to do with each other; Ye Xiaomi originally wanted to choose Ji Bingyuan.

However, Chu Jiangyu had already secretly spoken to her last night.

Chu Jiangyu said she wanted Ji Bingyuan from Manyue Province, otherwise she would start from the third pick, and there weren't many strong players left... After all, the two of them became professional players at the same time, so Ye Xiaomi easily agreed.

Otherwise, if Liu Chongxi selects a super-strong team and Ye Xiaomi takes away the remaining players, Chu Jiangyu will really have very few players to choose from. At most, she can only put together a ragtag team to embarrass herself. Not only Liu Chongxi, but even Chu Jiangyu is not very interested in the players from the Ke family.

It's quite shameful for a declining Go family to mass-produce amateur players and low-ranking professional players with no achievements... I'm afraid the Ke family is about to lose even the Honinbo title.

As for choosing Ji Wanying, it was because Ye Xiaomi had carefully studied her chess records and made the choice after much deliberation...

"This woman is a little strange," Ye Xiaomi thought, her purple eyes narrowing slightly as she stared at Ji Wanying, who had stood up from her seat.

"Damn it..." The second team's spots have all been selected. Ke Jiurui gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in resentment.

Only one team remains to be selected!

However, none of the new first-dan players from the Imperial Moon Province have been selected yet... The Ke family's players looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Chu Jiangyu, the captain of the third lunar team, with a blue bob haircut, stood up gently and said.

"I am the commander-in-chief," Chu Jiangyu said.

"Am I in? Am I in? This time it should be the turn of the Ke family's chess player, right?" Ke Jiurui thought naively.

"The second general, Ji Bingyuan."

Ke Jiurui swallowed hard, her dark eyes filled with anticipation.

"The third general, Cui Jinlie..."

How is this possible?! We're still not included?! What gives you the right to pre-select people?! This is utterly unreasonable!!

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ke Jiurui's long black hair, and her expression gradually turned angry.

“The fourth general, Ji Xuehu,” Chu Jiangyu continued.

Snapped!
