The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Disciplining his younger sister Aya Asagiri, pursuing Megumi Kato as his wife, flirting with Winette, and enduring Kurumi Tokisaki's advances...

A student at Soubu High School, the manager of Amagi Brilliant Park, and the manager of the US idol group...

Exhausted, Luo Shui sat in the manager's office at Gancheng Brilliant Park, adjusting her black-rimmed glasses to compose herself, and looked at the girl in front of her:

"So, you're the younger sister who got me into the German orthopedics department and thus allowed me to travel through time?"

Chapter 334: Crushing the Heart of a Chess Player

"Really? So you're a professional Go player... An Ruotong"

Lin Qing gave her a strange look; she felt a sense of familiarity when she heard the name An Xiaotong.

"So, these two must be professionals too?" The receptionist was speechless after glancing at the envelope.

She often mingled in amateur circles and couldn't possibly know all the professional chess players.

So that's how it is. Are you going to be a referee for the Eigetsu City Tournament next week?

An Ruotong, a professional beginner.

Zhu Huangfu, a professional first-dan.

Professional beginner level, Ji Yingting, oh, she recognizes that name, she was the top scorer in last year's professional exam.

The receptionist looked up and surveyed the area, only to find that the girl with long, light green hair had already disappeared.

"Where is that chess player named Ji Yingting?"

"Didn't you just go out with Qiu'er? They should know each other."

Luo Qiu'er is a girl with long white hair and sapphire blue eyes.

She is a very special woman. A few months ago, she had a record of 25 wins and 5 losses in her professional exams.

After a five-game losing streak, they achieved a remarkable 25-game winning streak, which is quite a unique case in previous professional exams...

"Would you like to come to the dojo with me?"

Walking ahead of Ji Yingting, the girl with long, snow-white hair asked.

"Um"

A gentle breeze lifted her long, bluish-green hair as the two emerged from the cave entrance in the valley, the sound of chess pieces being placed echoing incessantly.

With gentle breezes, verdant willows, and flowing streams, each game room is separated by emerald green screens, making this place a veritable paradise.

However, Ji Yingting simply thought the air here smelled nice.

"Oh, this is Group B. Let's go straight to Group A."

Group B has a lot of people, but Group A only has about 20 members.

"They're working really hard, after all, the promotion tournament is about to start, and they're using the dojo as their venue."

"When other foreign chess players arrive here, they will surely be shocked, won't they?"

~~

Ji Yingting could tell just by the sound how luxurious the dojo was. The Azure Moon Bamboo, which was the screen between the two chess rooms, made a strange tapping sound when knocked on, and had a strong soundproofing function.

Once you enter the chess room, you can no longer hear the clicking sounds from other chessboards.

The chessboard, a vibrant green like a screen, and the ever-flowing spring water, all contribute to a calming effect for the players.

The screen and chessboard in Peach Garden were not from elsewhere; they were native to this place... Azure Moon Bamboo Covering the Clouds.

A semi-professional dojo is a facility built outside a bamboo grove, with the entire bamboo grove inside being pruned into a chess room.

Biyue Zheyunzhu is known as one of the five great Qimu in the world of Moon Chessboard, and it is the only one in the Moon's semi-professional dojo to possess it.

The remaining four are the Heavenly Luo Star Jade Mother Tree [the most widely known, suitable for small private chess academies], and the Cold Waterfall [season].

The Black Crow Scattered Feathers Tomb [Ke], and... the [Time-Space Chessboard] that all official chess academies have acquired - which allows two professional chess players from different locations to play against each other across regions [as mentioned before].

"Of course, this is the first time a tournament has been organized by the dojo. The goal is to attract more strong amateur players. Last year's professional exam was a crushing defeat for the dojo."

At this point, Luo Qiu'er suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"In Group A, will anyone participate in the promotion tournament?" Ji Yingting asked.

"Yes, there are two players in Group A who are not yet at the fifth dan level, and they will also participate in this promotion tournament."

The city-level competition is not the same as the provincial-level competition. The provincial-level competition does not restrict players' ranks, while the city-level competition is divided into low-level, intermediate-level, advanced-level, low-rank, and high-rank groups based on the players' ranks.

低级组是无级至7级，中级组6-4，高级组3-1，低段组1-2，高段组3-4。

Although players from semi-professional dojos are no longer allowed to participate in amateur competitions, promotion tournaments are a special exception and they can participate.

"We've arrived at Group A..."

As they entered the bamboo grove, which was hidden behind a huge screen, the two of them held their breath slightly.

The atmosphere here is noticeably different from before, much heavier... and the sounds of pieces being placed are much sparser.

"Hahaha, I won again!"

Suddenly, a playful female voice rang out, and the girl with long black and white hair almost jumped up.

She remains undefeated in this round.

"Who is that?" Ji Yingting asked curiously.

"Bai Yongye is a student who just enrolled recently. She's very talented; she reached the peak of Group A with an amateur fourth dan, which is much better than me."

Luo Qiu'er smiled as well. Although she was a little young and therefore seemed arrogant, no one disliked her.

Ma Gongling and Bai Yongye have consistently ranked among the top in Group A.

"So, the second fourth-dan player from Group A to participate in the city competition is Xin Yufei?"

"Do you...do you know that child?"

Luo Qiu'er gave Ji Yingting a strange look. Xin Yufei was also a chess player who had only recently arrived at the academy.

She achieved a perfect record in Group B and was promoted to Group A in no time.

No, actually Ji Yingting didn't even know which group Xin Yufei was in; she was just guessing.

She shook her head slightly, her long, bluish-green hair swaying, and asked softly, "Where is Ma Gongling? I need to see her."

"Sakuraba-nee, so you've been here all along~~"

At that moment, a voice came from behind Ji Yingting, and a girl with black hair and red eyes had come over.

"Xiao Tong, where is Zhu Huangfu?"

"That person is really strange. He said he didn't want to watch weak people play chess; he's even more arrogant than me."

A cute girl with long, black, hee-cut hair answered while licking her ice cream; it turned out she knew what breed she was.

Ok?

Bai Yongye, who had just stepped out from behind the screen, was slightly startled by the noise outside.

She just... seemed to have heard a familiar name.

"Gong Ling, let me think... she seems to have stayed in her dorm today and didn't come to play chess."

Luo Qiu'er frowned slightly and pondered.

"Hey, you guys, are you looking for Senior Sister Ma Gongling?"

The girl with long, black and white hair asked loudly, attracting the attention of many people.

"How about we play chess? You're a professional... guy."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke with a hint of provocation.

Bai Yongye not only knew that these people were professional chess players, but also knew that... the green-haired girl standing at the front was named Ji Yingting.

She wanted to see just how strong a professional Go player could be that Ma Gongling, her senior, cared so much about.

Professional?

Upon hearing these three words, many students stepped out from behind the screen.

Of course... professional Go players often visit the semi-professional Go academy, but they almost all come for Ma Gongling.

"Qiu'er, is the very talented amateur chess player you mentioned before her?"

Ji Yingting pointed at Bai Yongye in front of her, somewhat stunned, and asked curiously.

"Uh-huh"

Luo Qiu'er obediently swayed her snow-white long hair as she spoke.

"It's quite ordinary, isn't it?"

Ji Yingting tilted her long, bluish-green hair and asked in confusion, "How could Luo Qiu'er call such a chess player...very talented?"

Did they really not know...?

Luo Qiu'er, she's the woman who brutally defeated Ma Gongling in professional matches.

"If you really want to play chess with us~~"

Ji Yingting used her slender little hands to lift the green willow branches that were wrapped around her ear tips.

"Xiaotong, crush her, shatter her fragile, easily broken... chess heart."

Chapter 335: Two Keyboard Warriors [Second Update]

Sometimes... playing against professional chess players is a very dangerous activity.

In particular, it is important to bring in players who have already reached the top of the amateur level.

Chess strength, chess position, chess heart.

A professional chess player who outclasses an amateur in every aspect will find it no easy task to defeat an amateur.
