The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

The three chess players, who thought the cake was delicious, were completely overwhelmed in the middle game, like an avalanche, without any chance to fight back. They exploded with a bang!

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Whether or not they overestimated themselves and gained undue confidence, Ji Yingting was still the final straw that broke their backs.

So, that's why... all three of them lost very quickly and inexplicably.

Ji Yingting... she's really terrifying.

Group 3 Standings:

You are all the best of the best: 9 points.

Those who play slow chess are all trash: 9 points.

Qingchayuan: 8 points.

"........."

Staring helplessly at the points leaderboard, Shui Qinghou and Xue Beihan remained silent for a long time.

"Captain, are we really going to be eliminated?!" Xue Beihan swallowed hard, a hint of fear in his voice.

What on earth is going on?! The group stage is halfway through, why is that girl still in first place?!?

And they lost another game today!

After winning two games against Ji Qiuyao and Ji Fuyou, Shui Qinghou lost to Ji Bingyuan, a professional first-dan player.

Some people underestimated her.

Shui Qinghou originally thought that after defeating Ji Fuyou, the score would be 3-0...

Unfortunately, she didn't expect that Ji Bingyuan's chess skills were even better than Ji Fuyou's, and she didn't replace him in time.

Therefore, after using all her strength to defeat Ji Fuyou, she was already somewhat exhausted and was naturally overwhelmed by Ji Bingyuan without any chance to fight back.

"It's okay... there's still hope!! As long as we can beat them this afternoon, that'll be great, right?"

Shui Qinghou said to himself, trying to comfort himself.

Those are just three beginner-level professionals, what's there to be afraid of? Their ultimate goal is Xiao Qiyu!

"Yes, we must finish them off this afternoon!!" Xue Beihan clenched her fair little hand and said confidently.

In the third group of the Sansheng Cup, the top three are already a foregone conclusion due to the large difference in points between the top and bottom teams.

Therefore, the last three groups have already been eliminated...

That leaves only three teams, who will compete in a two-elimination round-robin tournament.

Based on the draw, those who play slow chess are considered trash and will receive a bye in the first round.

This afternoon, Qingchayuan will face Meizhongmei in the first game of their double-elimination round-robin tournament.

If [Qingchayuan] loses, the match will be temporarily suspended, and the other side will wait for the loser.

After [Sister Among Sisters] loses, she will directly face [Those Who Play Slow Chess Are Trash], who has a bye in this game.

The opposite is the same.

Chapter 379: Thunder Emperor Xiao Qiyu! ! !

A double-elimination tournament... which means each team has two chances.

After learning this news, Ji Yingting and the others didn't seem to care...

After all, they have Ji Yingting as their trump card.

"Even if it's Xiao Qiyu, I'll smash her head in!!" An Ruotong shouted arrogantly from her seat in the lounge.

The next second, she felt... a murderous gaze coming from behind her.

"Uh..." An Ruotong's hair stood on end instantly. Not far behind them, a girl with long blue-purple hair glared at them fiercely.

"The sound is too loud... The other party must have heard it," Ji Yingting whispered a reminder.

However, it would be quite interesting to fight Xiao Qiyu.

The two people who will fight next... Shui Qinghou and Xue Beihan are both disciples of Shui Tingyue, a professional ninth-dan player.

"Sister Sakuraba, who are you going to play against next?" An Ruotong asked curiously.

"I only want to play with Xiao Qiyu; the others aren't very interested."

Ji Yingting gently swayed her two light green pigtails.

Two long, light green ponytails hung down to her hips, but Ji Yingting didn't look any younger just because she wore pigtails.

Because she wore her hair in low pigtails, and her thick, large, bluish-green hair gave her a wifely feel.

Her light green bangs, which droop slightly over her eyes, added a touch of fragility to her stunning beauty.

“Well, then I’ll take care of Shui Qinghou and Xue Beihan!” An Ruotong said confidently.

"Hmm...? What are you planning to do now?" Ji Yingting asked, somewhat puzzled.

If we're talking about one person, then An Ruotong would be a perfect fit.

However... Xue Beihan and Shui Qinghou are about the same level in chess. Even Xiao Qiyu would feel tired if he had to deal with both of them at once.

Moreover, An Ruotong gets nervous when facing players of a higher rank than herself.

Just like Yin Hongzhuang, a professional fourth-dan... Until the very end, An Ruotong never managed to defeat her with her own abilities.

"Don't worry, Sakuraba-nee, because Tama taught me a secret technique yesterday! A secret technique about the board position!?"

"Um……?"

"We sparred with each other and figured out a new way to use our skills," An Ruotong said excitedly.

Sparring with guns...? Speaking of which, yours is a knight's lance, isn't it? It's completely different from Luo Zhuyu's chess moves, you know.

However, thinking about it this way, the fact that all members of the Luo family possess relatively rare weapon-based chess formations should be helpful for An Ruotong's development of new chess formations.

Ok……

Just then, a girl with long, light green princess-style hair walked to the door of the preparation room for the third group. She was wearing a light green Luo-style Taoist robe, which attracted the attention of all the chess players.

"Xiaotong, let's go! Oh, and Sakuraba-nee too!" Luo Zhuyu waved her little hand at the two of them with a smile.

"Sister Sakuraba, I'm leaving now!" An Ruotong said.

"Okay, remember to be back on time this afternoon... I'm looking forward to seeing your new chess moves."

Ji Yingting, her long, light green twin ponytails swaying, sighed somewhat helplessly. [She could see the moves of both sides in the starry chessboard.]

Xiao Qingwu had said she was coming to find him a long time ago, but she had kept him waiting for a long time.

What Ji Yingting didn't know was that Luo Huangwu definitely couldn't appear in the preparation room in her own name; otherwise, many chess players would explode.

"Oh right, Sister Sakuraba, someone said they're waiting for you outside!" Luo Zhuyu suddenly remembered something and said loudly.

"Huh? It must be Xiao Qingwu. Why doesn't she come in to find me?" Ji Yingting stood up happily.

At that very moment... staring at Luo Zhuyu and An Ruotong, who were about to walk out of the preparation room, a girl with long blue-purple hair walked towards them.

"Sister, what are you trying to do?!" The two younger sisters of the Xiao family looked nervous.

"Luo Zhuyu...is that right?"

Blue arcs of electricity continuously rose from the top of her head, and her blue-green eyes held a hint of fighting spirit.

"This time, the Three Lives Cup championship will definitely be mine," Xiao Qiyu said arrogantly.

Her meaning was simple... she wanted to defeat all the other contestants in this Sansheng Cup by herself.

Thunder Emperor... Xiao Qiyu.

It is said that on the day she was born, continuous thunderclouds appeared within a radius of thousands of miles around the Xiao family, dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared across the land.

The strange thing was that the dark cloud only produced thunder but never rained, which lasted for a full six months.

So, she was born on that day and had this name... Xiao Qiyu.

An 18-year-old professional 6-dan, while not as exaggerated as Ji Heiyu, is still an extraordinary figure in the professional Go world.

Her long, blue-purple hair kept sprouting ahoge (cowlicks) from the top of her head and then falling back down, making a crackling sound like a swamp of thunder.

Of course, her personality was also as volatile as a dazzling thunderbolt.

Whenever a tuft of hair stands on end on her head, it means she's very angry...

Of course, her two younger sisters in the same team always felt that their older sister seemed to be angry all the time!

Just like chopping off a rabbit's foot, my sister's anger always comes so suddenly!!

The Three Lives Cup championship will definitely be ours...

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhuyu abruptly turned around, tossing her light green princess-style hair, her dark green eyes fixed on Xiao Qiyu.

Her light green eyebrows were slightly arched upwards, resembling a green spear.

Her demeanor... was completely different from before.

Ever since Luo Yuyan accepted Luo Zhuyu... her understanding has completely changed.

The current Luo Zhuyu is a monster meticulously crafted by the Luo family through countless training sessions and matches.

When she put on the Taoist robe engraved with the Luo family's name, she knew... she had to win.

"Whatever, if you manage to qualify by sheer luck."

Luo Zhuyu said loudly, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Xiaoyu, so assertive!!" Standing behind Luo Zhuyu, An Ruotong blinked her blood-red eyes in surprise.

"Yeah, yeah, you'd better think about how to avoid us beating you 3-0!!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, An Ruotong arrogantly gave Xiao Qiyu a thumbs-up.

"You two..." Hearing the two girls' provocation, Xiao Qiyu's blue eyes deepened.

Never before has a low-ranking professional Go player dared to provoke and be so presumptuous towards her!
