However, right at this very moment.

Sitting in the chess room behind the Ke family's backstage area, a young girl with long black hair looked ashen-faced.

Her eyes seemed unfocused and lifeless, and a few strands of white hair covered her beautiful, smooth black hair.

In the course of a game of chess, several strands of her hair turned white.

Chapter 434: Before birth, there was nothing; at the beginning of its formation, Ke was already declining.

"Mom, I won again today! One more win and I'll be an amateur 1st rank player. I really want to be your opponent soon, Mom, and compete for the Honinbo title. Then the Ko family will definitely be even stronger!"

Many years ago, a ten-year-old girl with long black hair said happily.

Before her sat a little girl with long black hair, and the two looked about 90% alike.

If she weren't a celebrity, no one would know that the girl who looks only ten years old is already a mother of a little girl.

"Haha, you'll be my rival? Mom's really looking forward to it!"

The black-haired girl gently touched the little girl's forehead, a look of affection appearing on her lovely face.

This person is a young Honinbo who entered the professional ranks at the age of ten and became a national champion at the age of twenty. He is now twenty-three years old.

However, a hint of sadness filled her loving, youthful face.

sorry Sorry……

My daughter, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I couldn't have given you, who loves Go so much and cherishes Go so much, the talent to learn Go from birth.

Because, my daughter, you... are just too mediocre, you... are too incompetent.

She knew perfectly well, and she was in pain just as much as she was.

Every day after returning from the chess academy, Ke Jiurui would practice chess games until... she accidentally fell asleep on the chessboard. She probably already used the chessboard as her pillow.

She worked very hard; she was the most hardworking child in the entire Ke family. Unfortunately... even so, her progress in learning chess was minimal.

A ten-year-old amateur dan is already a very low level for a Go family. In the same year, Ji Hongying from the Ji family was already close to becoming a professional dan.

Ke Jiurui is the daughter of Honinbo... therefore, she has to bear the pressure from the outside world. She has not inherited Ke Jiuzhu's talent at all.

In fact... her talent is not even as good as that of an average amateur chess player.

"Mom... are you looking forward to it? Are you looking forward to my growth?" Ke Jiurui's tender little face turned red as she excitedly asked.

"I'm sorry..." Looking at his daughter's innocent feelings, Ke Jiuzhu was finally stunned and sighed softly.

"Mom, why do I have to apologize? Why... do I have to say sorry?"

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

"Your daughter...is very strong, in a sense."

Three years ago, the final of the three major Super Leagues held every three years on the moon... the Guanghan Cup.

Honinbo Kokuju versus Kisei Ji Xuehuang.

The stunningly beautiful woman with long, icy blue hair, that's what Ji Xuehuang said to her.

That day, Ke Jiuzhu crushed Ji Xuehuang 3-0 and won the Guanghan Cup championship.

Unfortunately, after Ji Xuehuang walked out of the chess room expressionlessly, Ke Jiuzhu... was no longer able to stand up from his seat.

"You've misunderstood me in every sense... because your daughter looks a lot like my daughter."

It's a pity, though.

Even though I think my daughter Xuehu is very good at chess, I can't give her confidence... because she has accepted her own weakness.

It's a pity, ridiculous, and infuriating...

With Ji Xuehuang's words echoing in his ears, Ke Jiuzhu peacefully closed his dark eyes and fell asleep on the chessboard.

Because Ji Xuehuang had already told Ke Jiuzhu what she wanted to say, from those three games of chess.

She knew she had made a complete mistake... from beginning to end.

"Weakness is a kind of strength, and strength is a kind of weakness..."

"Because we are weak, we yearn for strength. Because we are strong, we understand loneliness."

Ke Jiurui was so hardworking and earnest.

But... she couldn't give Ke Jiurui even the slightest encouragement, she just silently avoided her efforts, why was she still not satisfied?

"Sorry……"

From beginning to end, she could only say this to her daughter because... she couldn't face her daughter's feelings of wanting to become stronger despite her own weakness.

Ke Jiurui is an ordinary professional Go player and an ordinary girl, from birth.

She has long, straight black hair, a somewhat cute face, and is 1.6 meters tall.

At the age of fifteen, she became a professional Go player. During the three years that her mother, Honinbo Ko Kyu-ju, was asleep, Ko Kyu-ju experienced unknown emotional changes.

She desperately wanted to become a professional Go player and to restore the Ke family to its former glory.

When she was ten years old and learning chess at the Ke Family Chess Academy, no one acknowledged her, no one recognized her, and no one believed in her.

Because she is the daughter of the Honinbo, she is the focus of attention for many Go players.

She... is too weak. Her talent is unimaginably poor.

"You've been looking at this life-and-death problem for a long time, haven't you? Or you could try using chess pieces to solve it?"

Even the chess teacher couldn't stand it anymore and kindly offered some advice.

She said after class today that no one was allowed to go home for dinner if they couldn't solve this impossible problem... But Ke Jiurui didn't seem to have any intention of going home at all.

Several hours have passed. What kind of child is this?

Her record is not bad... her win rate is also quite high, but as the daughter of Honinbo, she is still a bit too ordinary, isn't she?

Many chess players with great potential possess extraordinary talent from a young age.

And what about Ke Jiurui? Her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, nor did she have any special charm; she was just an ordinary little girl.

Xiao Qiyu, who reached the Dan level at the age of thirteen, amazed even the gods and immortals with his first battle.

Ji Hongying, with an air of madness about her, is unparalleled in the world.

Ji Heiyu, she's too strong...

Of course, if the chess player knew that Ke Jiurui spent several hours practicing chess every night, he probably wouldn't say such a thing as "ordinary".

Because... a child who works so much harder than other players and can only reach this level is hard to explain with the word "ordinary".

For ten years, Ke Jiurui has suffered from cold shoulders. Although her efforts have finally made some slight progress recently, her mother has fallen asleep, just like she would fall asleep from exhaustion after practicing music every day, and she doesn't know when she will wake up.

Even so... I still want to play Go, and I want to witness the Ke family's glory once again.

Perhaps it was this feeling that sustained her, the only, and last, straw in her heart.

So many years...so many years.

Before birth, there was nothing; at the beginning of its formation, the branches had already withered.

"Xiaoman, you actually lost. The Ke family is going to lose too..."

However, right at this very moment.

Sitting in the chess room behind the Ke family's backstage area, a young girl with long black hair looked ashen-faced.

Her eyes seemed unfocused and lifeless, and a few strands of white hair covered her beautiful, smooth black hair.

In the course of a game of chess, several strands of her hair turned white.

Chapter 435: She lost to the world

"What... what's wrong with me...?"

Walking down the dark corridor, the girl with long black hair looked somewhat listless, her dark eyes gradually losing focus.

Ji Heiyu cannot be sent because she is not a member of the Ke family.

The only option is... for me to fight the Phoenix God.

Her steps were slightly slow, as if she could never reach the light before her.

We're very close to the exit, but over there lies an abyss even darker than this.

The moment she appeared in the chess hall, everyone must have laughed at her.

She was clearly no match for anyone; she hadn't played against anyone in this Three Lives competition yet. She was just an observer, a puppet.

Soon, a black-haired girl with a somewhat unpleasant expression appeared in front of her, Ke Jiuman.

It's Xiaoman (Grain Buds)...

Ke Jiurui knew her identity, knew the true identity of the girl in front of her, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Because she lost.

Even she lost to this opponent, so how could she possibly win? Why did she lose?

"Ke Jiurui...?"

As Ke Jiuman passed by the black-haired girl, he paused slightly, but she didn't react at all.

What, isn't it Ji Heiyu who's coming out?

Although she felt that Ji Heiyu could not defeat Fengshen.

But this child had completely lost consciousness.

Her jet-black hair was streaked with a few white strands, not the white of snowflakes, but a sickly pale white.

She has tried very hard, for a long time...
