The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

No… that’s not the moon!! It’s a bizarre creature that hugs its limbs with its ears!!

"Hoo~" A cold, evil breath escaped from between his teeth, and his pupils, which were now exactly the same as Ji Yingting's, slowly opened.

It doesn't resemble the form of an ordinary organism...

The plump, huge lop ears slid down to the sides of its body, and the petite, pure white humanoid lop-eared rabbit with its unusually well-developed muscles in its limbs sat suspended high in the air.

Ke Jiurui felt very uneasy about her exaggerated sitting posture with her right leg outstretched and her left leg under her right leg.

"Is this Ji Yingting's new strategy?! But... how can I be cowardly at the crucial moment?"

"Chess Strategy - Lord of the Netherworld!!!" The storm condensed into black wings, and the black Pegasus transformed into a shooting star, rushing towards Ji Yingting.

Both sides have run out of time; this is the final battle!

No matter how many times, how many eyes, or how many moves, I will defeat you!

"........."

"........."

"Let's end this boring game... The outcome was decided the moment I opened my eyes." Ji Yingting picked up the black piece, and a smile appeared in her eyes as she faced Ke Jiurui's final, frantic attack.

"My dear toys, get rid of them for me!"

Upon receiving the order, the humanoid lop-eared rabbit expressionlessly extended a finger towards the black Pegasus.

"Bye now…"

With a snap, Ji Yingting's three consecutive black stones formed a crescent-shaped pattern, abruptly severing the connection in the center of the white stones.

How is this possible?! They managed to dismantle my offensive so easily.

"Have you finished...?" Ke Jiurui's eyes narrowed wildly, her whole body trembling with unwillingness.

At the same time, the black Pegasus was also cut in half by some strange force, and an astonishing gale pushed Ke Jiurui's long hair backward.

Wait, something's not right...

The calculated result is not like that! Have I failed again? Am I ultimately no match for such a monster?

Ke Jiurui weakly raised her arm, gazed at the vast starry sky, and sighed softly. The celestial horse beneath her gradually disintegrated under the erosion of the black spots, silently, like dust being blown away.

With a "pfft," a mouthful of blood spurted from Ke Jiurui's mouth. She exhausted all her strength to utter the words "I admit defeat," and her vision finally went black as she collapsed in front of the chess table.

Black wins by resignation in the middle game.

Only after the referee announced the result in a daze did Ji Yingting cover her mouth and whisper, "Chess Strategy: Moon-Devouring Demon Rabbit - Dark Night Palace"

Chapter 48: Volume 5 End! Champion! Professional Fourth Dan - Ji Yingting

Black wins in the middle game.

Standing up from her seat, Ji Yingting was bathed in the air of victory. Her long, turquoise hair automatically wove into two flying fairy buns, and the twin ponytails falling from the buns resembled a pair of rabbit ears.

The blue sleeves fluttered gently; was this... the chess player who had shut out the Ke family?

When the camera panned to Ji Yingting's face, the audience was stunned by her stunning beauty.

Aside from her pair of alluring yet frighteningly pale green eyes, despite her slender and delicate figure, she wore a faint, wicked smile.

Hehehe~

"Chess player Ji Yingting, please leave the hall and rest for a while. We will hold the championship award ceremony later." The chess record recorder, a girl with a mushroom haircut, walked forward with considerable dissatisfaction. She had no goodwill towards such an arrogant chess player as Qide.

The Full Moon Chess Academy is a magnificent modern building and can be considered a wonder of Full Moon Province.

As Ji Yingting strolled down the deserted corridor, her pupils contracted slightly.

"Wow, this is amazing! The windows are transparent? Wait, my eyes hurt..." After looking at the scenery for a while, Ji Yingting suddenly covered her eyes with a trembling hand.

A cold, hoarse voice echoed in my mind: "Don't you understand? Your eyes have only just been born; let this end today."

"Shut up! I won't allow anything to take away my happiness again!!" Ji Yingting said angrily.

"........."

But... after all, it was for her own good, so she soon obediently closed her eyes and returned to the familiar darkness once again.

Returning to her room based on her memory, Ji Yingting lay on her bed, recalling the day's game and reflecting on everything she had witnessed. After six hours of playing three rounds in a row, her head was so heavy that she fell asleep without realizing it.

Ji Yingting slept from afternoon until night before finally letting out a soft yawn.

"........."

It wasn't until the Sansheng Cup Awards Ceremony began that Ji Yingting rubbed her eyes and rushed to the venue, quietly sitting in the front row chair.

This is the closing ceremony. All the original teams have left, leaving only the four finalists: Mei Zhong Mei, Ke Jia, Ji Jia, and Luo Jia. Of course... professional Go players who feel they can advance to the next rank will also watch the awards ceremony live.

"Sakuraba-nee, you're amazing!!! We're going to skip a section!!" An Ruotong kept grinning foolishly, her face beaming with uncontrollable pride.

Ji Yingting was somewhat helpless, as this was the first time she had seen An Ruotong's appearance outside of a game of chess.

A delicate little face and a pair of slightly eerie red eyes, a cute little girl?

The three members of the Ke family and the three members of the Luo family had already met during the game of chess. Compared to An Ruotong's eerie smile, little sister Luo Zhuyu's eyes were sharper, and her princess-like hairstyle and expression were much gentler.

but……

When Ji Yingting shifted her gaze to the Ji family's side, her eyes widened slightly in surprise, because she had admired herself in the mirror for quite some time after getting up, so...

"Is that a red tassel?"

A red-haired girl with fair skin, breathtakingly beautiful features, and a face that looked exactly like her own, would occasionally steal a wink in their direction.

"Really... She should know she can see, right?" Ji Yingting smiled faintly, then lowered her head somewhat shyly.

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

"Xiao Qiyu has been promoted from professional sixth dan to professional seventh dan."

"Ji Heiyu has been promoted from professional sixth dan to professional seventh dan."

Xia Tianran has been promoted from professional 5th dan to professional 6th dan.

"Ji Hongying has been promoted from professional fourth dan to professional sixth dan."

"Ji Tuntao has been promoted from professional fourth dan to professional fifth dan."

"Luo Zhuyu has been promoted from a new 1-dan to a professional 3-dan."

"An Ruotong has been promoted from a new first dan to a professional third dan."

"Shang Gongying has been promoted from a new 1st dan to a professional 3rd dan."

"Zhu Huangfu has been promoted from a new 1-dan to a professional 3-dan."

"Ke Jiurui has been promoted from a new 1-dan to a professional 2-dan."

When the referee called out her name, the black-haired girl sitting in the Ke family's seat, with bandages on her forehead and limbs, gave a bitter smile. Was she, who had made it to the finals, not as good as Shang Gongying, who was eliminated in the quarterfinals?

After all, they didn't even win a single game, so such a low score is to be expected. Shang Gongying was truly amazing in the group stage.

but……

When her gaze fell upon Ji Yingting, she could still feel the tremor in her heart from the game. How exactly did Ji Yingting launch her final attack? Was it invisible? Or... was it so fast that she hadn't even seen it clearly?

"Players whose names haven't been called yet, please wait for the official ranking and points announcement from the Full Moon Go Academy. Currently, only players who have reached the finals, are professional 4-dan or higher, or have skipped ranks will be announced."

"Finally... Ji Yingting has been promoted from new 1-dan to professional 4-dan. Members of the championship team, please come to the stage to receive your awards."

"Ah~ I've really been carried up by you guys this time." Zhu Huangfu shrugged helplessly, "I've reached the third rank!" Although she didn't win many matches, An Ruotong at least beat Lei Di.

The Three Lives Cup trophy is a silver gem the size of an arm, with two crossed horns piercing the sky, which Ji Yingting holds in her arms alone.

The referee whispered in Ji Yingting's ear, "Champion Captain, you've worked hard... and congratulations on obtaining your one-way ticket to hell."

"Ok?"

Ji Yingting's pale green eyes widened slightly. The person who presented her with the trophy was a woman with long black hair. The voice sounded familiar. Who was it?

Even though Ji Yingting had never met many people, she could still sense the woman's strangeness.

That delicate face and features looked as if they were pieced together segment by segment; it wasn't a real human face!

"Xiaotong, do you know who she is?" Ji Yingting asked softly after the other person had walked away.

"Huh? Sakuraba-nee, you don't know her?! You were just suspended recently for insulting her daughter, Su Nuoyue! Besides, she was the referee for the main tournament of the Three Lives Cup!! You really don't know?"

"referee?"

Recalling the woman's voice, Ji Yingting felt slightly relieved. Yes, it was indeed the referee's voice.

However, she had never seen that woman in the starry sky, nor did she have much of an impression of her. In previous competitions, she could see the referee. Was she blocked out for some reason?

"The Faceless Woman, Su Hong, is a current professional 9-dan Go player."

A professional ninth dan? Gazing at the black-haired woman's back, Ji Yingting's eyes revealed a bottomless cold smile.

"If the gaze of these eyes leads to hell, then I will tear the professional Go world to shreds. You bunch of high and mighty fools, just you wait..."

From today onwards, I am a professional fourth dan, Ji Yingting.

A new journey, a new chapter!

Moon Demon Palace

Chapter 490: Returning to Minghai Ji, the Realm of the Profession

"What about you? Are you coming back to the Ji family with me?"

"No... the next time I come to Full Moon Province, it will probably be for the title battle."

With her long, turquoise hair braided into twin ponytails, Ji Yingting leaned against the window of the spaceship, gazing at the scenery.

Recalling Hongying's disappointed expression, compared to the fast-paced atmosphere of the developed cities in Full Moon Province, New Moon Province was much quieter and the air was sweeter.
