The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

The sound of my heartbeat was crystal clear; the surrounding noise, even the interview recordings, was almost inaudible...

The dark, gray world, which had left me slightly dissatisfied, was now tinged with color, and flowers bloomed everywhere.

She woke up.

Sometimes, some people, some professional chess players.

Perhaps, they truly exist for a particular moment, a particular game of chess.

Because from that moment on, the world they can see and feel will become different.

"An Ruotong, step onto your own stage and into your own era, from this moment on."

The girl with long green hair, Luo Zhuyu, had slightly moist eyes, and two lines of tears streamed down her face.

Inside the viewing hall, many professional Go players remained silent for a long time, even Xiao Qiyu, a professional sixth-dan player, lost.

After this, An Ruotong's career will have an even more glamorous stage.

At the age of twelve, he surpassed his limits and shocked the world in the quarterfinals of the Sansheng Cup.

But who could have imagined it?

Six months ago today, she was just an ordinary girl with a little bit of talent...

She ran out of the competition venue crying because she lost a game. What happened to this unremarkable amateur fourth dan girl?

The word "growth" is both ordinary and profound, yet also incredible.

An Ruotong, a first-dan player, defeated Xiao Qiyu, a sixth-dan player, by 2 points.

The second round of the quarterfinals of the Sansheng Cup has concluded. Next up is the match between the Ji family and the Xinyue Chess Academy.

However, there is one thing that is slightly concerning.

Shang Gongying, 1st Dan, will face Ji Hongying, 4th Dan.

Just how strong is Shang Gongying, a beginner in her professional career...?

Because every year, among the new first-dan players who emerge from the professional exams, there are one or two monsters who surpass all other players.

Four years ago, Dong Qingdai and Zhu Jiuyue [Qisheng].

Ji Heiyu and Xiao Qiyu three years ago.

Two years ago, Ji Hongying and Xia Tianran.

However, a year ago, there was a significant vacuum in the strength of the chess players.

Those who became professional Go players last year didn't make any major breakthroughs; after all, the newcomer champion that year was Ye Xiaomi.

However, she has never even participated in a single major sporting event...

Several new first-dan players, including Zhu Huangfu, seem to have disappeared from the professional Go world and vanished from public view.

It's possible that all the good fortune has been accumulating this year, causing the potential of the new first stage to suddenly explode, reaching an unprecedented height.

The idea that most new first dan players can easily defeat veteran professional high-dan players is simply unheard of.

What...

Ji Yingting, a player of "Demon King" level strength, and Shang Gongying, who defeated a 9-dan player but lost to an amateur player [referring to a significant difference in skill level].

Luo Zhuyu, the granddaughter of a celebrity, the daughter of a 10th Dan, and a super new 1st Dan with countless honors.

And then there's An Ruotong, whose fame had reached its peak, having once fought Ji Yingting to a draw in the Eternal Calamity. [Back then, it was through her descent into darkness; this time, it's through true strength.]

The next three are Lü Kuangmei, Ji Bingyuan, and Hua Shenxi.

In fact, Lü Kuangmei was quite strong in some respects.

After all, she defeated Ji Beiyi, a professional sixth-dan player who was on par with Xiao Qiyu.

Therefore, in theory, Lü Kuangmei and An Ruotong should have the same status.

Unfortunately, that round was still far behind An Ruotong's.

Because Ji Beiyi was influenced by Lü Kuangmei's chess style, he played an incredibly bad and idiotic game of chess.

There was no battle, no suspense, it was simple, boring, and we lost.

This certainly won't make Lü Kuangmei popular; on the contrary, it will only lead to Ji Beiyi being relentlessly attacked by her fans and chess enthusiasts on online forums.

Moreover, Lü Kuangmei later lost to Ji Tuntao, a professional fourth-dan player, and the matter was dropped.

The game between An Ruotong and Xiao Qiyu showcased their chess skills to the fullest extent, and both of them were truly exceptional.

Who is the strongest first-dan professional player?

That depends on the outcome of the game between Shang Gongying and Ji Hongying.

There's also the possibility of An Ruotong facing off against Luo Zhuyu, and the condition of Ji Yingting.

at the same time……

The headquarters of the Go Association in the city center of Diyue Province.

Looking at the message sent to her phone, a girl with long, dark green curly hair frowned slightly.

She knew this person.

The former head of the Ji family, and the former chess master of the moon.

Ji Xingquan, the Star-Eyed Chess Saint. A top chess player of the same era as Luo Zhanye, the Master.

However, I don't think I know her very well; we've barely even exchanged a few words.

Because Ji Xingquan has already faded out of the professional Go world for several years.

Hmm... she scratched her hair, somewhat puzzled.

Dong Qingdai was the newly appointed vice president of the Go Association, and the two had no interaction.

She wasn't even sure how Ji Xing had managed to get her private phone number.

But I heard that Ji Xingquan's situation is quite delicate?

Starting five years ago, the Ji family stopped talking about her.

Or perhaps, it's because Ji Xuehuang rose to power.

[Professional 1-dan player Ji Yingting was suspended until the finals ten days ago for violating sportsmanship. After investigation… she was affected by her own performance and has now been reinstated. We hope the Go Association can reinstate Ji Yingting's eligibility to participate.]

Being affected by the game's momentum is indeed a very troublesome thing, something that any professional Go player can deeply understand.

.....

I recommend a book written by a reader: "The Tale of My Becoming a Three-Legged Golden Crow"

Long live the Adorable King! ≧▽≦

Ji Qiuyu: If you say I'm a girl, then please dress up as a woman for me! (Looking delighted)

In short, the protagonist is a cross-dresser, and a cunning (just kidding) Golden Crow at that!

The Golden Crow is the sun itself; a single feather of it is a super nuclear bomb. (Ji Qiuyu: Isn't that pretty good?)

Chapter 450: Shang Qiqi, Ji Hongying

"Daughter, be a good girl, sleep well tonight~"

On the top floor of the Full Moon Chess Academy, a girl with long, dark green hair sat on the edge of the bed, holding a baby in her arms.

Professional 9th ​​Dan - Lin Qingfan.

Phoenix Goddess, you've lost.

Therefore, the effect of Ji Wanying's chess position also disappeared.

In just one day, Fengshen transformed from a fifteen-year-old girl into a newborn baby.

But she will grow up.

However, this process will take a little longer.

More than a decade later, she will still reach the pinnacle of the professional Go world.

...

The Three Lives Cup has entered its second half, and two of the four semifinalists have already been determined.

[Ke Jia and Mei Zhongmei advance to the semifinals]

There are four teams left.

The Luo family and the Jinghong Dojo.

And, the Crescent Moon Chess Academy and the Ji family...

Go is about more than just winning.

She never understood this.

Because if you lose, you lose everything, right?

We cannot lose, we must not lose.

If you lose a game, you'll lose everything, just like your mother.

She has thought this way since birth.

But what was the girl sitting across the chessboard thinking?

She's too strong, I can't beat her at all, how could I possibly win?

[Her Go skills... are they really not those of a professional player? This is hopeless!!]

[Shang Gongying seems to have a 20-game winning streak, is it possible to beat her?]

[Shang Gongying beat Ma Gongling and Quan Shihui, so... I should be able to play a game with her, right?]

Her long, light green Hime-style hair revealed no emotion on her exquisitely beautiful face.

Pale purple starry eyes, a green Taoist robe.
