The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

…………

At the same time, a little girl wearing a school uniform and with long black and white hair walked gently into the gate of Minghaiji Middle School. The left half of her hair was white, while the right half was completely black.

Then, a strange smile appeared on the girl's lips.

"Minghai Ji Go Club? Today we will utterly destroy you!"

Chapter 306: Not...human

The Go club at Minghaiji Middle School.

Tick, tick.

A few drops of sweat slid down his cheeks, and Lin Hao's pupils contracted slightly.

Six months have passed, and his hair has grown quite a bit longer, with short black bangs barely covering his forehead.

Compared to his previous buzz cut, his current appearance is much more befitting of a club president.

"President, you're an amateur 3-dan, right? I'm also an amateur 3-dan, and I'm only 12 years old this year!"

Opposite him, a little girl with long black and white hair gently twirled a white chess piece, then calmly placed it down with her right hand.

Her movement when placing the stone was slightly strange, completely lacking the elegance and grace of a female Go player. Instead, it resembled that of a complete novice who knew nothing about Go, roughly pressing the stone down. *Thud*...

"A 12-year-old amateur 3-dan... is he really that good?"

"President Lin Hao is almost 15 years old, and he's already an amateur third dan."

The members surrounding Lin Hao whispered among themselves. The Minghai Ji Go Club has grown stronger, and the activity room has been replaced by a lecture hall.

The number was terrifyingly high, nearly a hundred people. Of course, most of them were just beginners who had just started learning Go. They joined the Go club because they had heard that the club had produced a professional Go player named Ji Yingting.

Professional Go players don't really have a concrete understanding of those four words... but as long as they know the title means they're very strong, that's enough.

Professional Go players are a level that ordinary Go enthusiasts can never reach; school clubs are ultimately just child's play.

Even the top-ranked Go school in the national junior high school league, whose star players can't even beat the C-group members of a semi-professional Go academy.

Although it's too early to tell who's better or worse in this game, Lin Hao knows for sure...

His opponent, a young girl in the first year of junior high school, wasn't even taking it seriously!

"If you lose, you'll have to change the Go club to a chess club, don't forget!"

The girl named Bai Chang'an narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke, her hair being half white and half black.

Go and all that is ridiculous... Why should something so boring and simple be considered...?

How ridiculous! So, with such an impressive number of members, the club president is just an ordinary person with such limited skills? What do you mean, "He's never produced a professional Go player"?

Don't be ridiculous!! So what if they're professional Go players? Are they really that strong?

Ridiculous, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!!!

Bai Chang'an silently scanned the surrounding crowd and gave a disdainful snort.

I'll prove it to you... Go is utterly boring.

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

A semi-professional dojo... phew.

With a flick of her long black hair, Xin Yufei stepped out of the office and let out a soft breath.

Teacher Lin Xiao has already approved it. Is it because of Sakuraba-nee's achievement as a professional Go player? She seems very happy about it.

I still remember back then... it was he who gave Sakuraba-nee and me the opportunity to join the Judan Go Academy.

However, starting tomorrow... she will be leaving Minghaiji Middle School and heading to the semi-professional dojo in Crescent Province.

What kind of opponents will I encounter there? Will they be enemies, or will they be the same opponents I'll face in my professional exams?

"Anyway, let's go tell Lin Hao and the others first. It's been a long time since I've visited the club."

Xin Yufei put away the invitation from the professional Go academy and walked towards the new activity room of the Go club.

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

At this point, the game between the two players was coming to an end.

Lin Hao's hair was soaked with sweat, and his complexion was not good.

Thud... A black chess piece fell from his hand.

It's a bit too light, losing the power it had at the beginning.

Of course... even if he loses this game, he doesn't have the right to actually change the Go club into a chess club, not to mention the school wouldn't agree.

Therefore, this one-sided bet is nothing more than Bai Chang'an's wishful thinking; even if she wins, she cannot get the result she wants.

Out of respect for the Go club, he had no choice but to accept the challenge, though losing would be very embarrassing.

I lost.

Lin Hao sighed softly, and at that moment, a bright smile appeared on Bai Chang'an's lips.

"President, why are you admitting defeat?!"

"Yeah, the situation seems about the same to me, isn't it?"

A little girl with short flaxen hair asked anxiously. She was a first-year junior high school student who had just joined the Go club this year. She had some talent, but of course, beginners' understanding of winning and losing was still limited to the process of counting.

Lin Hao was already an amateur 3-dan player, so he could clearly point out that he had lost the game by more than five points.

"Lin Hao... even you can't beat her? Just who is she?"

A black-haired boy wearing glasses said in a low voice, "My name is Zhao Xiao, and I am currently the vice president of the Go club."

"Hahaha!! I didn't expect you, as the club president, to admit defeat so readily? What about the Go club? Have you given up? You're so weak, president!"

Bai Chang'an laughed mockingly, then stood up, tossing her long black and white hair around, and looked at the Go club members who all looked grim.

"Weak? You mean me?"

Suddenly, Lin Hao was stunned, looking genuinely surprised.

His posture puzzled Bai Chang'an and the other members around him.

"Hey, you're scaring us! Is the club president having a breakdown because he can't accept the fact that he's weak?"

"Weak... If we're talking about weakness, we're all the same."

Lin Hao's brows furrowed slightly as he slowly stood up from his seat.

"Do you think you're that strong?" His black bangs covered the corners of his eyes, making him look somewhat intimidating.

"Isn't it true that I'm strong just because I can beat you?! What exactly are you trying to say?!" Bai Chang'an roared.

"Go? That's laughable. I can beat you easily, and you still say I'm just as weak as you! Don't be so stubborn!"

After Bai Chang'an finished speaking, Lin Hao simply shook his head slowly.

"No, I am weak, like an ant, and you are weak too, hopelessly weak."

"What did you say!!"

In that instant, Bai Chang'an's eyes widened in shock. She could sense that Lin Hao wasn't just upset about losing; he was serious... he genuinely felt weak, without any reason... and judged himself to be weak.

Why...why?! You're just like her!! How could you be like her?!

Lin Hao stared at Bai Chang'an with his black pupils, his eyes filled with a hint of fear and unease. He still remembered that day when he stood helplessly under the starry sky and was swallowed by the green cat, feeling incredibly small.

"On the day Sakuraba-senpai became a professional Go player, I went to the venue in person... and saw their game."

"Those people, those professional test-takers, they are not...human at all."

Chapter 307: The strong look up to them, the weak look down upon them.

"On the day Sakuraba-senpai became a professional Go player, I went to the venue in person... and saw their game."

"Those people weren't...human at all."

Lin Hao said seriously, but in Bai Chang'an's eyes, he was just being unconvinced.

……

"What...what are you talking about! Are you trying to renege on your promise? Hmph, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If any stronger members come and challenge me, feel free to do so. After all, I just said I'd make you all admit defeat."

Bai Chang'an scoffed, flicking her long black and white hair with slight displeasure.

This is really annoying... So why do you guys play Go?

Challenge her?

The people standing next to Lin Hao exchanged glances and reluctantly took a few steps back.

Yes, since even President Lin Hao lost, who among them... could possibly defeat this girl in front of them?

Judging from this game, her skill level is also amateur 3-dan, and even stronger than President Lin Hao's amateur 3-dan level.

"See? That's what the weak are like. They only know how to fear and run away, and they'll always look up to others."

Bai Chang snorted coldly, her black eyes fixed on the surrounding members.

Judging from her appearance, the girl's face looks rather young.

Unexpectedly, she, at only the first year of junior high school, possessed such a powerful spirit.

Lin Hao secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Why would someone as talented as her not focus on playing Go but instead change the Go club to a chess club?

"No, you're wrong..."

Just then, a clear, cool voice came softly from outside the door, and a girl with long black hair in a bun pushed the door open and entered.

The difference between the weak and the strong lies in this: the weak look down, while the strong look up.

"You are... Yufei, my junior?"

When Lin Hao saw the beautiful girl with long black bun hair enter the room, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked with some uncertainty.
