The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Whoosh~~~" A puff of icy mist shot out from the air, and a blue lotus flame ignited in Luo Qingsheng's green eyes. A slender and beautiful blue-green spear spun in her hand, its speed increasing, forming a spiraling vortex...

"Chess Strategy, Spear Dance in Reincarnation"

Ji Yingting was slightly taken aback. During her matches against Luo Zhuyu, she had witnessed this extremely astonishing chess position many times... However, Luo Qingsheng's Spear Dance Reincarnation... seemed quite different from Luo Zhuyu's dual spears!

The frozen chessboard shattered instantly. As Luo Qingsheng's spear fell onto the board, ripples of eerie green spread across the calm surface before disappearing...

"Gun Name: Echo"

Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, her slender right hand picked up a black chess piece. Greenish-blue sound waves emanated from the piece, spreading outwards in concentric circles. *Click*...

This move, neither particularly good nor bad, is... well... [A Go term, a very simple move that, once it enters the enemy's territory, can be used to your advantage from both sides, or it can restrict the opponent's power and territory.]

A faint green echo spread outwards from the chess piece in an instant...

This……

Ji Yingting's pale green eyes narrowed slightly, and the chess pieces that were affected by the echo seemed to be chirping.

Tap, tap... After several moves, the pieces in Luo Qingsheng's hand seemed to echo, a faint fire burning between her fingers. With a tap, she dragged the black piece to the second line of the corner guarded by Xiao Fei.

Hmm? Is there another move involved?

As expected, it was a feint attack...

Ji Yingting's expression became slightly serious. Luo said softly, "If she can calculate the impact of each move on the surrounding pieces ten moves ahead, what kind of multifaceted calculation ability is that?"

Calculation ability... comes in many forms. A professional first-dan player can predict a hundred moves ahead, but this refers to the middle game.

During the process of securing territory, a player who can predict dozens of moves ahead is either mentally challenged or has a mental illness.

Luo quietly closed his eyes, and the echo became even stronger... Step by step, Ji Yingting pondered for a while before placing his chess piece.

However, she felt somewhat passive, but it didn't matter... that's what makes it interesting, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Luo's forehead was already covered in sweat. Her moves in the game weren't based on what she saw, but on what she heard...

The chess pieces resonate.

The melody between my fingers is vibrant...

Many Go players believe that an innate advantage in the game is a blessing from heaven, and that possessing such an advantage is a spiritual transformation passed down through generations of Go families for hundreds and thousands of years.

However, there is another saying in the world: the position of a chess piece is a curse.

Luo Qingsheng was diagnosed with congenital hearing loss right after birth... even hearing words in her ear was extremely difficult for her.

Only the sound of a chess piece falling could shatter her eardrums like a thunderclap.

Luo Qingsheng could hear the sounds of the chess pieces, the rhythm of the chessboard—a beautiful rhythm, a lament for the pieces. Even when a piece was clearly placed in one spot, he could hear the flaws on the other side; Luo Qingsheng excelled at multifaceted calculation.

Her playing style... is unique.

During his childhood, after treatment by many famous doctors, Luo Qingsheng's hearing has recovered a lot, and he can only hear the sounds on the chessboard when the moves are cleared.

However... many chess players felt that she was not serious about her work and only knew how to flirt with younger girls. Nevertheless, her talent was still unparalleled.

Only the Luo family knew that if she became too obsessed with Go, her hearing would get worse and worse, and one day she would lose her hearing completely.

Ji Yingting's strategy has almost no flaws, so can he only make mistakes in the edges and corners?

Luo was unwilling to give up. Her light green hair fell to her waist, and her breathing became rapid.

I want to hear more, and for longer.

tick, tick...

A few drops of blood trickled from Luo Qingsheng's ear. She silently picked up a chess piece, finally hearing Ji Yingting's slip-up!

"I don't want to lose anymore, because this era... belongs to the Luo family, how can I be the only one holding them back?"

Luo, a professional 7-dan player, entered quietly, her black stone falling onto the board with a soft thud.

The next moment, the air seemed to freeze, whether it was the chess pieces, the chessboard, the referee, the players, or even Luo Qingsheng's gradually widening eyes...

Sitting in the viewing hall, Ji Heiyu, Ji Hongying, and the others almost stopped breathing, while An Ruotong's blood-red eyes widened.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the thunderous sound of a piece being placed nearly overturned the entire chessboard, and the piercing noise made the woman sitting in the referee's seat suddenly cover her ears.

How could that be...

What kind of move was used to place such a heavy and violent piece?

【Hey, did you guys see that? What was that just now?! Did something weird appear?】 A comment scrolled across the screen during the Go broadcast.

Luo stared blankly at the chessboard, then looked at the green-haired girl sitting opposite her... A cat tail of ice blue grew out from behind her, and Ji Yingting's pale green eyes peeked out from behind.

A strange smile, and a snow-blue robe covering her cherry-like mouth.

"Sorry, Sister Soft-spoken... my board position is absolutely perfect, without any flaws~"

In front of Ji Yingting, two enormous, ice-blue cat paws came together on her abdomen, forming a dazzling ice-blue shield, and an astonishing cold current swept across the chessboard.

Chapter 470: The Ke Family/The Ji Family?

At the Full Moon Provincial Professional Go Academy, Ji Yingting, a professional 1-dan player, playing white, faced Luo Qingsheng, a professional 7-dan player. The match lasted one hour and forty minutes, with white winning by resignation.

"........."

Luo Qingsheng also lost...

This seems to be the first time the Luo family has had two members eliminated since participating in the Three Lives Cup. In the Luo family's preparation room, a woman with light green hair frowned slightly.

To be honest... after watching these two matches, even Luo Dule herself wasn't sure if she could beat Ji Yingting.

Is the little girl my second sister favors really this strong...?

Luo Huangwu, Luo Qingsheng, and Luo Zhuyu all have connections with Ji Yingting, but none of them have ever mentioned that the other party's chess skills are actually so strong...

As far as I can remember, the last player who dominated a major tournament during his early dan stage was Ji Heiyu, who is now a 6-dan.

Shortly after, Luo Qingsheng also walked back from the contestant passage, her long green hair still damp with sweat.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Luo Zhuyu asked.

"Yes, Fifth Sister... go all out. Sakuraba is not an opponent you can easily defeat."

Luo gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, a strange flame burning in her eerie green pupils. Even with her strategy suppressed, she fought to the very last moment.

Although they were very unwilling... they only had Luo Dule left, and it wasn't time to regret it yet. Luo looked at her sister expectantly, but... her green eyes narrowed slightly.

Wait, what's wrong with her?! Luo Dule's face was stiff, her hands were trembling uncontrollably, and she wasn't listening to what she was saying at all.

Fifth Sister...

Luo hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Was Fifth Sister afraid? Was she afraid of losing the game...? This was the first time she had ever seen Luo Dule like this.

"Um"

After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Dule nodded gently.

Fifth Sister, are you alright?

"Let it go, I will win, I definitely will."

As she walked step by step toward the chess hall, Luo Dule's vision blurred. The dark corridor leading to the hall seemed incredibly long to her for the first time. Her hands and feet were icy cold, and she felt weak...

She looked out the window. The sky was gray and hazy today. It was morning, but it felt like night.

"I clearly couldn't afford to lose anymore... but that light and shadow were getting further and further away from me."

In the final battle, Ji Yingting, a professional first dan, will face Luo Dule, a professional seventh dan.

Ji Yingting tossed her long, light green hair and stared at Luo Dule, who was sitting opposite her in the starry sky, slightly taken aback.

This was the first time Ji Yingting had seen her. Wow, she was amazing. Although her hairstyle didn't quite suit her aesthetic, she looked a lot like Sister Qingsheng. They probably weren't twins, right?

Xiaoyu too, everyone in the Luo family looks so alike!! But... is she sick?

Ji Yingting tilted her head in confusion. At this moment, Luo Dule's mood and spirits had undoubtedly fallen into an unprecedented low.

"The game begins."

A raindrop fell from the dark cloud, its gentle patter turning into a sudden downpour. In the oppressive atmosphere, the chess players sitting on either side of the chessboard simultaneously lifted the chess box.

However… staring at the cluster of white chess pieces before him, Luo Dule’s double pupils contracted slightly.

"Ah Le, do you like yourself now?"

"Ok?"

The cool night breeze made her vividly remember that conversation from her childhood.

The girl with light green hair turned a chess piece in her hand, her eyes, which were covered by her bangs, revealing a hint of gentleness.

Luo Dule really admired that woman... He learned her hairstyle, her chess moves, and her temperament.

It doesn't matter if she's ridiculed or told she has no path to follow...

but……

Why……

We couldn't afford to lose anymore, we couldn't afford to suffer any more defeats...

"Hey, what's wrong with Luo Dule today? He's really not in the zone while playing chess."

"A crucial piece was cut off by a sharp cut; was it just spacing out?"

"Speaking of which, she also lost in a crucial situation at last year's Samsung Cup, right? Her performance at the beginning of the year was clearly outstanding..."

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

Black and white pieces were placed alternately, and Ji Yingting's right hand, which held the pieces, seemed to be tinged with a jade-colored moonlight, while her pale green eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

She didn't care if the opponent had any problems, no matter what kind of player or what kind of situation they were, as long as she could defeat them all.

"boom!!!"

Her slender, jade-like fingers held a black chess piece and placed it onto the chessboard.
