Unfortunately, the 10-dan Go academy team, led by professional 5-dan Niu Xiaochai, performed rather mediocrely, and was even shut out by two professional 4-dan players from the Liu Family Go Academy.
However, Niu Xiaochai still managed to defeat the team 【Pig One Hand】 in the tiebreaker by a narrow margin, barely advancing to the knockout stage.
In fact, the weakness of the 10-dan Go Academy is also related to Lin Hong losing the 10-dan title... It always feels like they are somewhat lacking in motivation because the tide has turned.
You should know... Niu Xiaochai is not an ordinary amateur 5-dan player. He is highly regarded by many people in the professional Go world and is considered a supernova.
Unfortunately, her performance in this Sansheng Cup was somewhat unsatisfactory, as she still relied on Lin Beng to win several crucial games.
The list of participants from the 10-dan Go Academy is as follows:
Niu Xiaochai, a professional 5th Dan.
Professional 5th Dan - Lin Beng.
Professional 2-dan Xie Xiaoyu [Hint: The young female teacher who taught amateur players when Ji Yingting first entered the 10-dan Go Academy]
Splash...
An Ruotong pushed open the door to the hall, and in an instant, all the chess players' eyes were drawn to her.
She pulled Ji Yingting along, somewhat awkwardly, and walked behind Zhu Huangfu.
Oh no... It seems all the players know about this!! An Ruotong felt a wave of suffocation. She absolutely couldn't let Sakuraba-nee find out anything amiss!
"Well, now that all the participating players are here, let's start the draw," said the woman with long, golden hair, standing at the front of the stage, holding a microphone.
[The rules for the first round of the Three Lives Cup knockout stage... The names of all teams were written on a small slip of paper and placed in the raffle box.]
The team that draws the cards can choose its opponent in the first round.
Therefore, luck plays a significant role in determining whether a team can advance further.
Of course, the Sansheng Cup has been held for many years, which is a tradition, and no player would complain.
The first team member, Feng Kuangyu, waited a while before reaching her little hand into the lottery box.
Since she is the director of the Manyue Chess Academy and the organizer of this Sansheng Cup, it is only natural that she should be the one to draw the lots.
Splash...
Under the tense gaze of many chess players, Feng Kuangyu unfolded the small piece of paper in his hand.
The Chu family
"call…………"
The moment Feng Kuangyu announced the team name, many chess players breathed a sigh of relief and patted their chests.
Well, it's not a very strong team. In that case, it doesn't matter who she chooses.
If the first draw results in a team like the Ji or Luo family, it's a death sentence, and also the part that makes all the chess players gloat the most.
"Chu family, Captain Chu Donglian, please choose your opponents for the first round."
A smile slowly crept onto the lips of the girl with long, light blue hair as she glanced at the two people behind her out of the corner of her eye.
With such a powerful ally, Chu Donglian had long forgotten about taking revenge on Shang Gongying.
Now... all she wants to do is prove that the Chu family is not something you trash can laugh at!
"We'll take on the Luo family!" Chu Donglian shouted.
Why……??
…………
...?
For a moment, the chess players were slightly taken aback, and the atmosphere in the hall became completely silent.
"Has the Chu family gone mad?"
Chapter 383: Another one who's gone mad?
"We'll take on the Luo family!" Chu Donglian shouted.
Sitting not far away, three girls with long, light green hair were simultaneously taken aback, and Luo Dule narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Choose us?" Luo Zhuyu tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
This competition can be considered her professional debut, so it's certainly a good thing that she was able to easily win the first round.
"Has the Chu family gone mad?"
Why did they choose the Luo family as their first-round opponents?
Is the Chu family in such a hurry to go home?
The moment the top 16 are determined in the official knockout stage, it signifies an astronomical prize.
After that, each winning round will grant an additional prize of millions of star coins.
Since they drew the first draw, why didn't they choose a weaker opponent? Many players couldn't understand this.
For example... if you choose a famous dojo, Chu Donglian, a well-established professional 5th dan, would be guaranteed to win against An Haimi, a professional 7th dan.
For An Haimi, the Chu family represents a higher level of mutual restraint in terms of similar attributes.
However, they chose the Luo family as their rivals.
It's likely that, apart from Chu Donglian herself, no other chess player could understand her actions.
The blonde girl standing on the stage was also visibly stunned for a moment, but as the dean of a professional chess academy, Feng Kuangyu was well-informed and not particularly surprised.
"The second one," she reached her little hand into the cardboard box... and pulled out a small piece of paper under the breathless gaze of all the chess players.
“Celebrity Dojo…” Feng Kuangyu unfolded the paper and read aloud.
call!!!!
The next moment, many chess players breathed a sigh of relief, and this unanimous reaction made An Haimi's face turn ashen.
"We choose the Ke family!" An Haimi announced loudly with a cold smile on his lips.
At this moment, at the location of the Ke family's group, a beautiful girl with long black hair and blood-red eyeshadow narrowed her eyes slightly.
"That's interesting."
"........."
"Hey?"
"..."
Has An Haimi gone mad? Is she still asleep...?
Many chess players thought to themselves with a strange feeling, even though the Ke family's actions were somewhat unspeakable.
Unfortunately, the truth is the truth: they have Ji Heiyu in charge! Could An Haimi have lost her memory?!
Could it be that An Haimi thinks he can beat Ji Heiyu just because he's a rank higher than her?
No... An Haimi, a somewhat mediocre player, could never beat Ji Heiyu.
First came the Chu family's bizarre behavior, then the sudden deaths at the famous dojo... I feel like this lottery draw is a bit incomprehensible.
.....
"Then, I'll leave this competition to you."
Amid the surrounding chatter of the chess players, An Haimi turned around, tossing her long, dark blue hair, her tone filled with awe and admiration.
"Well, don't worry, winning the championship is a piece of cake," the beautiful girl with long pink pear-shaped hair covered her cherry-like mouth with her sleeve and chuckled softly.
She wore an ice-blue, floor-length, smoky-green dress, with a dreamy pink butterfly, a fox butterfly with nine fox tails, embroidered on the back of her Taoist robe.
This robe originally belonged to Hua Shenxi, but Lou Leying has temporarily borrowed it.
She will use the identity of Hua Shenxi to fight Ji Heiyu again.
Of course, the last time she played chess with Ji Heiyu, both of them fainted halfway through, and the game was never finished.
Speaking of impersonation...
Although Hua Shenxi was a bit shorter than her, she was wearing flat cloth boots today, and her light purple pear-shaped long hair was dyed completely pink.
If you're not someone you know well, it would be very difficult to recognize her.
Throne - Lou Le Ying...
It would be perfect if she personally defeated the Ke family.
However, just as everyone else couldn't understand why the Chu family would challenge the Luo family, Chu Donglian also couldn't understand why An Haimi would have the idea of challenging Ji Heiyu.
"Has An Haimi gone mad?" Chu Donglian asked in confusion under the strange gazes of the other chess players.
Ji Heiyu is terrifying; this is the bloody proof obtained through the personal sacrifices of countless chess players whose ranks are much higher than hers.
"Third Fortune Telling - Ji Family"
…………
……
The Ji family?
After those two words were uttered, the meeting room fell silent for a long time; many chess players didn't even dare to breathe.
Because this time, it truly is a death sentence.
Professional 6-dan Ji Beiyi, Professional 4-dan Ji Hongying, Professional 4-dan Ji Tuntao.
The team of the three of them left a trail of blood wherever they went.
Of course, during the group stage, the Ji family single-handedly slaughtered all the professional Go players.
"Liu Family Temple"
Upon hearing that she was the third to be drawn, team captain Ji Hongying immediately read out the team's name.
This is a vendetta!!!
The Ji family... they are really blatantly settling personal scores under the guise of their position, choosing the Liu family's dojo under the throne without hesitation.
