The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

shuh...

The reflective hilt of the sword reflected Ye Xiaomi's pupils. Opposite her sat a girl with long, light green, three-stripe, flat-hemmed hair, Ji Yingting.

Before her stood a massive, ice-blue shield, with tidal waves transforming into spreading ice surges that formed two aquamarine ribbons draped over the shoulders of her moon-white Taoist robe.

Gazing at the chessboard before her, Ye Xiaomi gently closed her purple eyes. The high-position Chinese opening was a layout that Ji Yingting had never used before.

Ye Xiaomi knew that defeating Ji Yingting was an impossible task.

In fact, since Ji Yingting debuted, no player has ever defeated her in a competition... a 100% win rate.

At this moment, Ji Yingting is already a professional first-dan Go player.

Unfortunately, every chess player will lose, no matter how strong she is, no matter who she is, no matter if she is human or a god.

Purple scorpion braids fell behind her, and her purple, arched eyebrows gave her a slightly heroic air. Although they wore the same style of moon-white Taoist robes, they sat opposite each other on the chessboard. They... were opponents who needed to fight each other.

tick...

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Although the timer was ticking away second by second, Ye Xiaomi simply closed her pale purple eyes gently.

Her thoughts had already drifted back to the past, not long ago...

But is it really true... that no one can surpass Kiyoba?

Ye Xiaomi has a way to defeat Ji Yingting, and also a reason to defeat Ji Yingting.

"Ji Yingting, why...do you never...dismount Xiaofei?"

Two months ago, at the Celebrity Dojo, Ye Xiaomi, with her long purple hair, stared blankly at Ji Yingting, who was wearing a water lily-colored Dojo robe, and asked him a question.

She had just finished showering, and her long purple hair was still a little damp, falling loosely over her fair neck. Actually... she would look better with her hair long, while the scorpion braid added more of a heroic air to her.

"Although the large knight's move is also very good, and it has a more professional style, but... in today's game, the small knight's move was clearly more effective, wasn't it?"

Ye Xiaomi asked in confusion, "For a normal chess player, it is actually very difficult to discover that a certain shape is not being played."

Indeed, Ji Yingting would occasionally use a small flying move when hanging in the corner or guarding the corner.

However, in terms of handling the board positions, she never played the small knight's move.

This is a little strange... or rather, she deliberately avoids this chess shape.

"Hmm?" Ji Yingting let out a soft moan, slightly puzzled, as the green willow branches tilted slightly.

"Xiao Fei... Xiao Fei, Ji Yingting, can't you leave Xiao Fei? You've always left Da Fei, haven't you?"

After several days of training games with Ji Yingting, Ye Xiaomi had also realized this point.

"Wow, you smell so good! What brand of perfume are you wearing?"

Ji Yingting suddenly sniffed the air with curiosity, and then smelled her own bluish-green hair.

"Huh? Perfume? Let me think..."

Although Ji Yingting did not respond to Ye Xiaomi at the time... was she avoiding the topic?

Could it be that she really doesn't know how to fly?

Her eyebrows were light green, her eyes were deep green, and she wore a moon-white Taoist robe.

The figure of the young girl, Xiao Ji Yingting, suddenly appeared in Ye Xiaomi's pupils.

That's because Ye Xiaomi opened her eyes.

Snowflakes fell on her pupils, and tears welled up in her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered.

With a whoosh, the purple scabbard slipped from her hand.

"Seven Tons - Shaking the Stars"

With a heavy thud, Ye Xiaomi's two slender white fingers gently landed on the chessboard.

In an instant, a dazzling purple galaxy appeared in the starry sky, and the stardust was the hilt of a giant sword that had been swung out in that instant.

The cleaver, hanging across the Milky Way, landed on Ji Yingting's head as if it had pierced through the stars in the sky.

A few strands of green willow branches slowly fell, and the folded ring instantly transformed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. The purple blade light instantly enveloped the entire starry sky, as well as Ji Yingting's pale green eyes, and... her chess heart.

boom!!

In that instant, Xiao Ji Yingting's pale green eyes widened suddenly. The space above the ice-blue shield twisted irregularly. The extreme pressure caused her green willow branches to stick tightly to her face. The air seemed to groan. Her ice-blue cat ears stuck to the front of her green bangs like bangs.

"call"

Ye Xiaomi sighed softly, and her purple scorpion braid fell from her head, turning into long, loose purple hair that cascaded down her brows.

Although her forehead was covered by purple bangs, it still couldn't hide her deep purple eyes that seemed to be glowing.

"Ji Yingting... let me tell you, in terms of mastering the true form of the chessboard, you are nothing more than a newborn infant."

Ye Xiaomi gently rolled up the purple strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead and asked softly.

"Then it's your turn to tell me, why...why aren't you leaving, Xiaofei?"

Ye Xiaomi's move just now, in response to Ji Yingting's low-flying corner attack, landed in a high-clamping position.

This seemed to be a blatant statement... that she wanted to force Ji Yingting to leave Xiao Fei.

The reason was strange, but it was a move she was convinced of; she believed she had discovered Ji Yingting's weakness.

"Hey, Ji Yingting... you wouldn't choose to leave, would you?" Ye Xiaomi tilted her purple head slightly and asked.

That's right... Ji Yingting would certainly not choose to step aside, in Ye Xiaomi's mind.

Faced with this high-flying trap, she could only choose to use a small flying shield.

Because... precisely because she is a professional Go player, she will definitely play the small knight's move.

Because she is a professional Go player, she would never choose to quit; she definitely wouldn't.

Even amateur players know that Ji Yingting will definitely suffer losses if she jumps out of the game. A qualified professional player will not play a variation that will definitely result in a loss.

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

"It's so heavy...it's so uncomfortable."

A few strands of green willow branches drooped down her forehead, and Xiao Ji Yingting narrowed her pale green eyes.

Her shoulders slumped, as if a sky full of stars were pressing down on her head.

This was the first time Ji Yingting had ever felt...so uncomfortable.

"Your position is very strong, but... who told you I can't play the small knight's move?"

Xiao Ji Yingting gently raised a slender arm—or rather, Ji Yingting herself. Her voice was slightly different from the usual Xiao Ji Yingting, carrying a hint of mature elegance.

"Ok?"

"Not going with Xiaofei doesn't mean I have some strange, dark past, nor does it mean I can't; it's just... not good."

With a soft thud, the black chess piece in her hand landed on Xiao Fei's position. Ji Yingting slowly widened her pale green moonlight eyes, the firefly-like eerie green resembling a blazing will-o'-the-wisp. Ji Yingting said softly.

"Arrogant fool, you think I rarely use the small flying technique, but you've never considered that what you consider the correct way to move is... wrong for me."

Chapter 304: I won't lose the game, it's all your fault!! [Second Update]

As a professional first-dan player, Ji Yingting does indeed make more large knight's moves than small knight's moves.

But this does not mean that... she has any issues with Xiao Fei.

Two months ago, during the game of chess she played against Ye Xiaomi, she did not make the small knight's move.

What Ye Xiaomi considers a good move may not necessarily be a good move in her eyes.

"Meow……"

A chilling blue aura surged forth, and a giant, ice-blue cat slowly rose from behind Ji Yingting. The cat's entire body and teeth were covered with a beautiful layer of ice-blue crystals, and its face appeared slightly ferocious.

Ji Yingting's ice-blue cat ears twitched slightly, and a huge ice-blue shield suddenly appeared in front of the ice-blue cat, with endless chill permeating the starry sky.

"You're too arrogant!"

Ji Yingting said softly. She didn't know if it was Ye Xiaomi's imagination, but at that moment, she felt that little Ji Yingting had become a little taller and seemed less mentally challenged than before.

Is that so? Was my judgment wrong?

Ye Xiaomi closed her eyes, but... your chess skills are indeed insignificant in front of me, that's a fact, Ji Yingting.

"What is meant by the strongest chess position in the world..."

That is... even if one's chess skills are inferior to one's opponent's, even if the game is in dire straits, one's own chess position can still suppress the opponent, even preventing them from making a move.

Although it sounds exaggerated and impossible, no matter how powerful the chess position is, it is still just a product of the soul.

However, my teacher once told me that my chess skills could help me become the strongest professional chess player in the world.

My innate talent for chess, honed through practice, and my strategic position... these are my invincible strengths.

"Ji Yingting, take a good look at my ultimate chess strategy, which I have honed through countless trials..."

"Full Liberation of the Chess Position - Hades' Strike"

Her arm finally fell, and with it fell the huge blade behind her.

"Eight Tons Sunset"

boom!!!

A purple aura surged from her body, and the massive Miao sword gradually ignited with golden flames. The hilt transformed into a giant sun, which crashed down madly towards Ji Yingting.

The pressure was as heavy as the sun, and the light was dazzling.

*Thud!*

The instant Ye Xiaomi placed her piece, the ice-blue shield and the golden Miao sword collided... crack, crack.

Ice-blue fragments slowly fell. In just an instant, in the very first second of the collision, the ice-blue shield began to shatter. She could vaguely see the pale green light in Ji Yingting's eyes gradually dimming.

"Slay him!"
