The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

*Slap!* Little Sakuraba suddenly uttered a strange word, and her fair face was slapped by Long Mieying's small hand. She immediately burst into tears, her pale purple eyes brimming with tears.

"Waaaaah!" Two long, light green ponytails swayed wildly as Sakuraba cried very sadly.

"You're the one who's a slut!" said Long Mieying, a cute little girl with long red hair, angrily.

"Alright, alright, daughter, stop arguing!"

Lu Kuangmei said helplessly that it took her a lot of effort to carry the two little girls to the conference room. Liu Chongxi said that they would meet at ten o'clock the next morning.

"Huh? Who is she?"

Upon arriving at the conference room, many chess players stared curiously at the red-haired girl who looked remarkably similar to Ji Yingting.

Xiao Ji Yingting was placed on a seat, where she sat obediently like a little green lop-eared rabbit, while Long Mieying was carried by Lü Kuangmei to the table at the front of the conference room.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you all. This is Long Mieying, the chess player and training advisor for the Moon Team."

Liu Chongxi's lips twitched slightly as he forced an explanation.

"Little sister Long Mieying! So cute! So adorable!"

Of course, the chess players who knew Long Mieying's true identity almost spat out their words, and... no matter what, she looked too much like that person. An Ruotong widened her blood-red eyes slightly, and her eyes trembled slightly.

"Hua Q!" Long Mieying suddenly shouted, but the next second, Liu Chongxi quickly covered her mouth...

This level of idiocy is truly unbearable to look at, Liu Chongxi secretly rubbed his forehead.

"Alright, everyone just needs to know that she will be working with us from now on."

Soon, Xiaolong Mieying finished her introduction, and she was placed on the sofa, sitting obediently with her big red eyes wide open.

Although the youngest players present, such as Hua Shenxi, An Ruotong, Luo Zhuyu, and Ji Wanying, were all in their early twelfth year old... Ji Yingting and Long Mieying looked to be only about seven years old, so taking care of the children was no easy task.

They might pee on the chessboard at any time, which would be such a hassle.

The little green lop-eared rabbit was also quite restless; before long, Xiao Ji Yingting had snuggled into Hua Shenxi's arms.

The cute girl with pink pear-shaped hair was initially holding little Ji Yingting happily, but after a while, her expression changed. Ji Yingting lifted her clothes with her little hands.

"Big sister, I want to drink milk..." Sakuraba blinked her pale purple eyes and said.

"I'm only 12 years old, I don't have that kind of thing!" Hanako said, blushing, and immediately threw Sakuraba off her.

*Thump*... The little girl with green pigtails sat on the sofa, looking a bit aggrieved.

"Let's confirm this, first, the members of Team 1."

Commander: Liu Chongxi.

Second General: Lü Kuangmei; Third General: Hua Shenxi; Fourth General: Shang Gongying; Fifth General: Ji Yingting.

The captain, Liu Zhongxi, is an adorable thirteen-year-old girl with long, flowing silver hair and icy blue eyes. She is a professional second-dan player.

Second General Lü Kuangmei, fifteen years old, is an exceptionally beautiful girl with long, snow-white hair; white hair, white eyebrows, and white eyes are her signature features. She is a professional first-dan.

The third general, Flower Goddess Xi, is a twelve-year-old girl with long pink pear-shaped hair. Her pink eyes have a unique, dazzling quality, as if they are imprinted with a light blue butterfly. She is a professional first-dan.

The fourth general, Shang Gongying, is a cold and beautiful girl with long orange hair, a pair of evil orange eyes, an expressionless face, and a sharp tongue. She is a professional beginner.

The fifth general, Kisaki Sakura, is a seven-year-old girl with large, light green twin tails and lop-eared rabbit-like hair. Her catchphrase is "Flower Q." She is a professional first-dan.

The captain of the second team is Ye Xiaomi, a girl with purple scorpion braids, a professional second-dan player.

The remaining four team members are An Ruotong, Ji Wanying, Ji Qiuyao, and Luo Zhuyu, all of whom are professional first dan.

The team's captain is Chu Jiangyu, a girl with long, dark blue hair, a professional second-dan player.

The remaining four team members are Cui Jinlie, Ji Bingyuan, Ji Xuehu, and Ke Jiurui. All four are professional first dan level players.

The above fifteen people are all the members of the three teams of the Moon Team participating in the Scorpion Cup. The Young Tiger Tournament did not bring any changes to the personnel. Of course, there is also a training consultant who is sitting blankly on the sofa, the young girl Long Mieying.

Holding the information sheet in his hand, Liu Chongxi announced, "Our Moon Team's first battleground is the Solar System, specifically the Black Phoenix, a super-large spaceship of the Eastern Huang Federation stationed in the starry sky."

The Black Phoenix is ​​nearly 10,000 miles long, comparable to a small planet. The spaceship is shaped like a giant black phoenix. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, this spaceship made a great contribution to driving away the original inhabitants of the universe, that is, extraterrestrial beings.

Black Phoenix... Upon seeing the spaceship pictured by Liu Chongxi, many chess players focused their attention.

"Of course, this is only our first destination," Liu Chongxi explained. The chess players participating in the Scorpion Cup on the Black Phoenix were all members of the Eastern Federation, which meant they were Chinese.

Only those who rank in the top ten in their region can proceed to the final battleground.

"As far as I know, there are already more than a hundred planets that have registered for the Scorpio Cup, and the number of teams is in the hundreds. There are probably close to a hundred teams going to the Black Phoenix alone... Our first goal is to stand out from these hundred teams."

That's right, the moon is a stronghold for Go, so it's not impossible for all three teams to advance at the same time.

Unless... they encounter stronger seeded teams like Mercury in the early rounds and get eliminated.

However... in team competitions, the Moon's Go Association has enough confidence.

The three generals they selected may not be top-notch in terms of chess skills, but... Liu Chongxi's chess formation is an extremely rare group formation... This is something that many people do not know, and very few people have ever seen.

To ensure at least one team advances, they put all their strongest players into the first team.

Of course, she glanced at Xiao Ji Yingting, who was sitting blankly in her seat, fiddling with her two light green twin tails... She wondered if the Go Association's decision to continue letting her compete was the right one.

"Hua Q!" A moment later, Xiao Ying Ting ran over to Long Mie Ying again, climbed on top of her, and pressed her down onto the sofa.

"woooooo"

The little dragon with long red hair rolled gently, but couldn't move, its little mouth making intimate contact with the sofa.

Little Ji Yingting's adorable, fair face nestled in Little Hongying's fiery red hair. The others were too lazy to care about the two of them; they were both idiots anyway.

After the explanation, it was time to distribute the team uniforms.

Sakuraba was overjoyed to receive the clothes' packaging box, because the original clothes were too big and she had nothing to wear.

This brand-new outfit is a newly commissioned design from the largest textile shop on the moon—a chess player's robe.

The snow-white Taoist robe had a pale green crescent moon pattern on the chest. The soft silk sleeves were made of thousand-year-old snow lotus wood, and the two beige sleeves were slightly wide to make it easier for the chess players to place their pieces.

The skirt of their lower garments was also a snow-white, smoky-colored Taoist robe, and they also wore a set of white knee-high stockings. Cui Jinlie, the only male chess player among the three teams, wore a pure, floor-length scholar's Taoist robe.

The main color of the robe is snow-white, with light green moonlight patterns on the chest, while the sleeves are light yellow.

The exquisite and elegant style is immediately apparent, with clothes tailored to the physiques of the chess players.

The most eye-catching feature is the large, light green character "月" (moon) engraved on the back of every chess player's robe.

A simplified Chinese character, the green "月" (moon) character, undoubtedly proves to the world that this is the uniform of the Moon Team chess players.

This Taoist robe, so exquisitely crafted, is probably worth just as much as the Luo family uniform worn by Luo Zhuyu. It seems the Moon really takes this Scorpio Cup competition very seriously...

Then, the next thing everyone needs to do before the Scorpio Cup begins is to watch the upcoming second round of the Throne Battle and the first round of the Ten-Dan Battle.

When Liu Zhongxi revealed the training content, all the relevant personnel narrowed their eyes.

PS: Most readers should have seen this by now, right? But there might be a few people who haven't seen Yoo Jung-hee's character design, so I'll post it here.

Chapter 287: Tenth Dan Title Battle

The Ten-Dan Tournament and the Throne Tournament...

"Flower Q!"

"Flower Q!"

Just moments ago, Xiao Ji Yingting was playfully fighting with Long Mieying, but upon hearing Liu Chongxi's words, he immediately stopped what he was doing. Ten-dan battle?

However, due to just one second of relaxation, she was quickly pushed back under the sofa by the little girl with long, fiery red hair.

Long Mieying rode atop Xiaoying Tani's head, which was adorned with long, light green hair, and pulled on her twin tails with a victorious expression.

"woohoo"

With her light green twin ponytails swaying, Xiao Ji Yingting lowered her head, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

However, she was quickly rescued by Lü Kuangmei from Long Mieying's mount, because it was time to try on her new clothes.

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

Unlike the location of the King's Throne Tournament, the Ten-Dan Tournament was held at the Professional Go Academy in Yongyue City, because the current Ten-Dan player, Lin Hong, is a professional Go player from Yongyue City, Crescent Province.

Wang Zuo Liu Tianmen is a chess player from Manyue Province, so his game against Ji Shihu was also arranged in Manyue Province.

At this moment, on the second floor of the Yongyue City Professional Chess Academy, in a VIP room, several women with long, light green hair sat together.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive. On the large screen in front of the television, a strangely shaped chessboard was projected. The chessboard used in the 10-dan tournament was made of a very special material, with ten strange silver lines wrapping around a gray chessboard, which was the symbol of the 10-dan title.

There were also three or four jade chessboards in the room, which were the star jade wood chessboards commonly used in Crescent Province.

A woman with long silver hair glanced at the time on her phone, a hint of anxiety appearing on her mature and beautiful face.

"There's still half an hour left," said Silver Spear Consort Su Chan in a low voice. She was wearing a gorgeous and elegant light green Taoist robe.

Although she wasn't born into the Luo family as a chess player, she married into the Luo family.

"Sister Chan, don't be nervous. Lin Hong isn't at his peak anymore... He's getting old. You have over 70% chance of winning the 10th Dan title this time."

Sitting opposite Su Chan, a woman with a light green princess hairstyle slowly spoke. She had a pair of light green double pupils, which looked somewhat strange. Her name was Giant Goddess Luo Dule.

"Fifth Sister is right. Xiao Chan, your composure is quite different from that fool Ji Shihu from the Ji family. She underestimates the throne too much."

Sitting next to the green-haired, double-pupiled woman, a very young-looking girl spoke. She had her hair styled in green pigtails and was none other than Luo Qingsheng, the Echo Consort Luo Qingsheng, whom Ji Yingting had met some time ago.

"Sixth Sister, you need to learn to respect other chess players; this isn't good."

The last woman, with her short, light green hair, spoke softly. Luo Jiangxing's green eyes were slightly languid as he leaned back on the sofa, curling up his legs.

She was not one of the six concubines of the Luo family, because she was the eldest daughter of the Luo family.

Although the Luo family had a total of seven daughters in that generation, the seventh sister, Luo Yuyan, had never been exposed to Go. Excluding Luo Jiangxing, whose strength far surpassed that of the six concubines, the sixth person was Su Chan, who married into the Luo family.

Back then, Su Chan, who had not yet married into the Luo family, was a lovely young girl. Her long silver hair and silver spear were her signature features as a chess player. She married Luo Yuyan at the young age of fifteen and had Luo Yuyan give birth to Luo Zhuyu.

There were four Luo family chess players who came to Yongyue City this time: professional 9-dan Luo Jiangxing, professional 7-dan Su Chan, professional 7-dan Luo Dule, and professional 7-dan Luo Qingsheng.

Su Chan will be fighting Lin Hong for a 10th Dan title match, which may take one to two months.

In the early preparations, it was impossible for all the Luo family's chess players to come so quickly. Therefore, a small seminar was temporarily held with Luo Jiangxing and three others as the leaders. They would do their best to help Su Chan reach her perfect state so that she could win the first round of the 10-dan title match.

It's been too long... Their status among the Go families on the moon has always been overshadowed by the Ji family. The Luo family is eager to surpass the Ji family, and they have been preparing for this for a long time.
