The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Of course, that's because most of the seeded players were gathered in Group A...

It's probably only someone with Hua Shenxi's skill level who could achieve a 30-game winning streak.

However… is Group B really that weak? On the eve of the professional exam, that child named An Ruotong…

Winning more than 20 points in ten consecutive games is definitely not a statistic that can be achieved in a professional exam.

"call"

A stream of water covered Luo Qiu'er's sapphire blue eyes, and countless chess scores flashed through her mind. These were the chess scores she had collected using the chess skill "Dripping Water Wears Away Stone," and she had compared the chess scores of everyone in the professional exam to draw her own analysis.

Analyzing a player's fighting ability haphazardly like Koji Sakuraba does is definitely not feasible... that's purely wishful thinking and speculation.

There are indeed chess positions that truly test a player's fighting ability... but those are not tests of the player's fighting ability, but rather the fighting ability of the chess record, and they are only for reference, so it's best not to take them too seriously.

Snow-white long hair gently covered her eyes and eyebrows, and countless chess pieces formed from flowing water spun and fell.

Once she enters Narcissus Mode, her thinking ability surpasses her previous abilities by tens of thousands of times, instantly making her comparable to top-tier artificial intelligence.

boom!!

The waves in Luo Qiu'er's mind transformed into tides, forming sixty water curtain barriers.

Her slender little hands grasped the chess manuals of the Water Flowing Chess, and she slowly began to appreciate them.

Choi Jin-ryeol's skill level is roughly equivalent to that of Hwa Shen-xi, who won all her matches in Group B. Even if we consider his overall skill level to be 60...

This is the qualifying standard for becoming a professional Go player.

In Luo Qiu'er's hands, 60 water-flow chessboards, which were the 30 chess scores played by the two of them, slowly dissipated.

Luo Qiu'er... that is, myself, had a chess strength of 40 before the end of the fifth game, and it became 55 after I became stronger.

Ma Gongling's chess strength was also 55... So she lost to her stronger self.

So, the seeded players in Group A are probably not that different, and their performance will be more important.

Ok?

With a whoosh, the pages of the chess manual turned one by one. When Luo Qiu'er saw Ma Gongling and Shang Gongying playing against each other, she was slightly stunned.

Ma Gongling's skill level surged to 60 during his match against Shang Gongying.

Quan Shihui... Her chess strength was 59, but when she played against Ji Yingting and Shang Gongying, her chess strength suddenly dropped to 0?

Perhaps it's because of the unique nature of her strategy—it's aimed at her opponent rather than strengthening herself—that the Narcissus Mode couldn't detect it?

With a flick of her small hand, Luo Qiu'er conjured up 30 more water-flowing screens.

Luo Zhuyu, 65... Huh? That's much higher than I expected? It seems her basic chess skills are truly top-notch in Group A.

However... there's a blank page?

Luo Qiu'er was puzzled. Luo Zhuyu had actually forfeited her match against Ji Yingting!

So, Luo Zhuyu's poor performance in the early stages might have been due to psychological factors and other random things?

Actually, it's due to family reasons.

In the final game, when Luo Zhuyu played against Shang Gongying, the game record concluded that Luo Zhuyu's skill level was 75.

Shang Gongying's chess strength is 65, but when she played against Ji Yingting, her chess strength was 100.

Ji Yingting... she really is a great demon king. Except for one game, her chess strength has never been lower than 90. Luo Qiu'er was a little surprised.

However, when she played against Kwon Seok-hui, her skill level dropped alarmingly to 15.

Finally, there was An Ruotong, whom Luo Qiu'er was somewhat curious about.

With a flick of her white eyebrows, Luo Qiu'er revealed the last thirty icy chess pieces enveloped in water.

Ji Yingting said that An Ruotong was her teammate in the Three Lives Cup. If she wanted to find a teammate, wouldn't Shang Gongying be a better choice?

Chapter 339: Not letting the beautiful girl poop, and not letting the beautiful girl eat?

In this city competition, only two members from the academy's Group A participated, while nearly ten members participated in Group B, along with more than thirty other players.

"When is dinner? The students in Class B finished class a long time ago. Whether you become a professional Go player or not has little to do with study time. Don't these amateurs even understand? Eating is the most important thing. You need to be full to have the energy to play Go, okay?"

With her slender little hands playing with strands of her bluish-green hair, Ji Yingting yawned softly and complained.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Xin Yufei since I arrived at the dojo. Did she not come to class today?

Are you going to watch the game tomorrow?

A voice came from nearby; the students in Group A had also finished class.

"Huh? Eh? Why do we have to watch?"

"I really want to see the shocked looks on the players' faces. Will there be any new students joining the dojo? Like that pretty junior girl I heard about?"

"Ah, it's Ki Sakura, the Go player. It's time for dinner."

A well-behaved girl with short black hair reminded him as she passed by.

"Okay, I understand," Ji Yingting waved her little hand toward the source of the voice.

"Ji Yingting is so cute in her first year of high school. I wish I could have her as my teacher."

"Yes, yes, she's both cute and amazing. She must have been the absolute champion of the last professional exam, right?"

"This is my first time meeting him in person, and he seems exceptionally strong."

As the voices of the girls faded into the distance, Ji Yingting stood up, somewhat bewildered and impressed.

Not just strong...?

But can you really tell from appearances...? She shook her head in confusion.

"Ji Yingting, you've arrived." At the same time, a deep voice sounded in my ear.

His voice, which was somewhat neutral, was a little hoarse and lifeless.

Of course... it's very different from before. Now, she's simply gotten used to this ordinary way of speaking.

"Gong Ling"

Ji Yingting turned around, tossing her long, light green hair, and recited with her eyes closed.

Before her stood a girl with long brown hair, staring blankly at Ji Yingting.

Ma Gongling's brown hair ends looked like they were dyed a deep brown like civet coffee, and it was slightly wavy, as if it had been permed. The vermilion mark between her eyebrows was still her symbolic mark.

She has changed a lot since then, although Ji Yingting can't see what she looks like now.

So what exactly has changed?

Perhaps... it's personality, or maybe it's chess skill.

Even Ji Yingting herself didn't know...

However, when Ji Yingting heard her voice, the corners of her pink lips curled up slightly.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to the cafeteria... I heard you played chess with Qiu'er today."

"Yes, we're playing chess."

"You won, didn't you?"

"Yes, we won."

"Shang...Gong Ying, she's been discharged from the hospital too, right?"

Yes, that's right.

The two walked side by side down the corridor, as if they were friends who had known each other for many years.

Although Ma Gongling kept asking questions, she didn't use an interrogative tone.

The dojo was open-air, and the night breeze gently lifted the green willow branches of Ji Yingting, causing them to sway backward.

The two walked in their small cloth boots down the narrow corridor, remaining silent for a long time.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" Ji Yingting suddenly asked softly.

"Hmm...??" Ma Gongling was a little confused.

"Hmm? Tell me! Didn't you have something you wanted to say to me? Say: Sister Ji Yingting, thank you so much, waaaaah!"

Ji Yingting suddenly licked her lips and mimicked Ma Gongling's eerie voice.

Thank you so much, waaaaah, what the heck...?

Ma Gongling's lips twitched a few times, and she sighed softly.

"Ji Yingting, you haven't changed at all. You've only become more arrogant since becoming a professional Go player."

Was I arrogant before?

This time, it was Ji Yingting's turn to be puzzled, and she shook her little green head.

With her long brown hair and lifeless gray eyes, Ma Gongling nodded seriously.

"Yes, they're incredibly arrogant and utterly presumptuous..."

"..."

Ji Yingting's innocent face fell as she began to reflect. She had always been a cute and well-behaved super pretty girl.

"Of course, I'm talking about when playing chess."

"Other players simply cannot ignore your eyes... eyes that seem to be brimming with everything."

"..."

Slender, fair fingers emerged from the gilded sleeves of her robe, gently shielding the pale green moonlight in the air. Ma Gongling murmured softly.

"Hey... Ji Yingting, tell me, what's the world of professional Go players like?"

Is the moon you see our moon? Is the starry sky you see the same one we can see?

"If not, how can we?"

There was no question in Ma Gongling's tone, because with this sentence, she wasn't asking a question either...
