The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Her nose felt slightly sore, and Ke Jiurui's vision seemed to be blurring.

Now, can I cry?

No, because the journey isn't over yet, and her race hasn't reached its end.

As long as Ji Heiyu hasn't lost... the Ke family still has hope of winning, and she still has a chance to compete.

The fleeting dream that Xia Tianran brought her has ended, and the shattered reality, the pain and ridicule, continue.

After crying and grieving, wipe away your tears and continue the game, because it cannot end now, it absolutely cannot.

A long, black robe engraved with the character "Ke" floated into the air, and Ke Jiurui's dark eyes no longer showed any tears.

"Let's go back first..."

...

It's late at night...

Earth, the Gu family compound, a girl with long, jet-black hair squinted her eyes.

A pristine white robe draped over her body, revealing her black hair, black eyes, and dark, willow-leaf eyebrows.

Her appearance was neither outstanding nor ugly.

They're just ordinary...somewhat cute, like the rule that the cutest passersby are in anime.

"Ji Yingting? A professional beginner from the moon... is that it?"

Chapter 440: Battle against the Thunder Emperor

Beneath the throne, a girl with long black hair and crimson eye makeup with crow's feet furrowed her brows slightly.

At that time, she was just a girl in her early teens, an amateur low-ranking Go player who had not yet made a name for herself.

But she knew...

"Because Go chose me..."

Ji Heiyu, a professional sixth-dan player at only sixteen years old.

"No one can beat Ji Heiyu, at least not among the younger generation of professional Go players."

Wearing a magnificent black Taoist robe with a black and white koi fish Tai Chi diagram engraved on the back, Ji Heiyu sat down in one corner of the chessboard.

"Take a good look at Ji Heiyu's games; her strength... is fundamentally different from other young players."

"Time," as some top professional Go players have said.

Ji Heiyu, what makes her different?

Her slender, long jade-like hand held a black chess piece, and her crimson crow's feet eyeshadow narrowed.

"pat..."

.......

The second round of the quarterfinals of the Sansheng Cup is between "Mei Zhong Mei" and "Those who play slow chess are trash".

An Ruotong will face her strongest opponent in this Three Lives Cup, Xiao Qiyu, a professional sixth-dan player from the Xiao family.

To be honest, while confidence is one thing, very few chess players can maintain that confidence in front of Xiao Qiyu...

The title "Thunder Emperor" may sound unpleasant and vulgar, but in a sense it is also simple and ordinary.

At least, it's a very common way to name a child.

Xiao Qiyu was originally a simple girl. Her games of chess were always simple and easy to end.

Because... she won way too fast.

Of course, only chess players who have personally played against her can understand... just how powerful blitz chess, which is supposed to be meaningless and useless, truly is.

Fast doesn't mean how fast your hand is when placing a piece, nor does it mean how anxious you are when playing chess.

Anxiety will only make your calculations slower, more sluggish, and more meaningless.

From another perspective, rapid chess is more like a timeless game of thought.

Every move in a rapid game involves a long period of contemplation in the player's mind.

Someone once said...

In front of Xiao Qiyu, their thoughts almost froze.

Also frozen in time was their timer.

night……

After the quarterfinal match of the Sansheng Cup, where the Ke family played against Manyue Chess Academy, Xiao Qiyu returned to his room early.

"An Ruotong...is that her name?"

The girl with long, blue-purple hair frowned slightly as she looked up An Ruotong's chess scores on her phone.

This child is very strong.

She's annoying.

To be honest, aside from An Ruotong and Luo Zhuyu [regarding the previous incident]...

It has been a long time since anyone, no chess player, has been able to anger Xiao Qiyu to that extent.

However, what she was looking forward to even more was playing against that chess player named Ji Yingting... She must be a professional chess player from the Ji family.

Unfortunately, Ji Yingting has been banned from the Go Association until the finals, and it is highly likely that she will not play in the Sansheng Cup.

Xiao Qiyu's goal is to win the championship, defeat Luo Duleji, Heiyu, and others, and take the Three Lives Cup.

Her chess skills are among the best in this Sansheng Cup, and she is a powerful figure in the entire professional chess world.

"It's a pity that An Ruotong, a professional first dan, has such poor attention to detail, although her playing style is very energetic."

Xiao Qiyu gently flipped the phone screen, her purple eyebrows furrowing slightly.

To be precise, An Ruotong's playing style is somewhat similar to mine; she is impulsive and aggressive.

However, her overall structure and conclusion, including the handling of many details, were quite rough.

Um... why is it another pointed roof? Does she like pointed roofs that much? This An Ruotong.

Xiao Qiyu had no idea that Ji Hongying had already lectured An Ruotong countless times about the "pointed roof" issue.

"Huh? What is this... this game of chess??"

and many more……

When Xiao Qiyu saw the game record of An Ruotong playing against Yin Hongzhuang, a professional fourth-dan player, her eyes widened in shock.

What on earth happened in this game of chess?!

Seriously, could this really be a game record played by the same player?

If it were said that she had suddenly become much stronger, Xiao Qiyu wouldn't find it unacceptable. After all, even amateur chess players can occasionally make brilliant moves.

But... every move An Ruotong made after that, every piece she placed, seemed to have a strange sense of familiarity.

It's all in this game's record!

This game record gave her a very familiar feeling, an extremely familiar feeling, that was definitely true.

Xiao Qiyu had a feeling in the dark...

It was as if she had played against the owner of this chessboard a thousand times, ten thousand times, millions of times, countless times.

"Besides, it seems like I can't beat her."

"But I clearly don't know her, and I clearly don't understand her."

Xiao Qiyu and An Ruotong had barely met, and even when they did exchange a few words, it was always during an argument…

Before this, she had never played chess with An Ruotong, nor had she ever investigated An Ruotong's chess records.

Xiao Qiyu only looked at the opponent's chess record because her opponent tomorrow was An Ruotong, nothing more.

Just because of this one game of chess... just because of this one game of chess, she actually had this absurd feeling.

"This is really strange... isn't it?"

Xiao Qiyu's purple pupils contracted slightly. What on earth was going on...?

In any case, I must figure it out during my match against her tomorrow.

.....

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

On the other side, a red-eyed girl with long black hair was curled up on her big bed, sleeping peacefully.

The second floor of the Full Moon Provincial Professional Chess Academy is rather narrow [because it has a structure where the area decreases with each floor].

However, it was enough for the professional Go players participating in the Sansheng Cup main tournament to live in. She originally shared a room with Ji Yingting.

After Ji Yingting was suspended, An Ruotong took over as captain of the "Sisters Among Sisters" team, which put a lot of pressure on her.

They may very well face elimination tomorrow.

Thanks to Ji Yingting, they easily made it into the main competition for this Sansheng Cup.

However, in the round of 16, it was An Ruotong who personally defeated Su Nuoyue.

She slept very well tonight...

Because tomorrow will be a magical day for her.

It is a pity……

During the group stage, Xue Beihan threw a Go stone into Ji Yingting's little sister's pocket and was suspended by the Go Association...

At that time, the Meimei team directly advanced to the main competition, and An Ruotong was unable to play against Xiao Qiyu as she wished, even though she was clearly provoked.

Of course, she also understood that her chess skills were far from reaching Xiao Qiyu's level.

Professional 6th Dan Thunder Emperor, she's too strong.
