The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

She is fundamentally different from Bai Chang'an. If Xiao An's greedy desire to devour her opponent is like that of a cannibal, then she is different.

She, on the other hand, dismembered the food bit by bit, like a demon, and chewed it slowly.

The game was quickly decided, with Bai Yongye, playing black, making move 187, managing to turn the tide and win under such circumstances...

Ji Yingting secretly memorized the second half of the game. Even though the opponent was weak, she still wanted to find an opportunity to show it to Xiao An.

The eighth round of matches has ended, and aside from the minor incident involving Bai Yongye, the players who were destined to win maintained their winning streak, while those who were destined to lose suffered defeats.

Ma Gongling, Xin Yufei, Bai Yongye, and Bai Chang'an still have an 8-game winning streak, while Lü Binghu, Lin Qianyu, and Lin Duan have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Xinglu, a player from the Luo family who has attracted much attention, has a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, which is far from the top tier.

Luo Xinglu is an elite chess player in the Luo family, but he has only been in the semi-professional academy for a very short time. As a self-taught genius from a prestigious family, he is not a threat.

Ji Yingting also hopes that he can calm down soon and work harder next year for the professional exam...

The candidates felt like each day was an eternity, but Ji Yingting, as the referee, idled away her time every day. As soon as the competition ended, she would go back to her room to take care of her eyes. She would only open them for a short while when counting chess pieces, or she would check the game records of professional competitions. In short, she had not actually played against anyone since the end of the Sansheng Cup.

Soon, the fifteenth round of matches ended, marking the halfway point of the professional exam and the emergence of a true dividing line among the candidates.

Whether it's a stunning victory or a complete rout, the door to becoming a professional chess player... has already opened a crack for some.

Group A, Ma Gongling, 15 wins and 0 losses.

Xin Yufei, 15 wins and 0 loss.

Bai Yongye, 15 wins and 0 losses.

White is always dark, with a record of 14 wins and 1 loss.

Lin Qianyu, 14 wins and 1 loss.

Lü Binghu, 14 wins and 1 loss.

Lin Duan, 14 wins and 1 loss.

In the tense match, Xiao An, whose basic skills were not solid enough, still lost a game.

She lost to Lin Duan from the semi-professional dojo... This left Ji Yingting speechless. During the review, Xiao An clearly had the advantage, but in the final stage, due to a lack of experience, she failed to seize the slight victory.

Fortunately, she adjusted her mindset in time and did not lose the next few games.

"Waaaaah~ Sakuraba-neechan, I was so wrong, what am I going to do tomorrow?"

Kneeling in the room, Xiao An frowned and poked her little finger. Tomorrow... the sixteenth round is her match against Lü Binghu.

Compared to Lin Duan, Lü Binghu's chess skills are obviously much stronger, ridiculously stronger.

What if I lose again?!

"What, are you scared just because you lost one game to a player from a semi-professional dojo?"

"I……"

Ji Yingting braided her long, light green hair with a small comb. "I have nothing more to teach you. Whether you win tomorrow's game depends entirely on yourself. If you're at a disadvantage, think carefully about what I've taught you before, and don't act impulsively again."

Is it really that simple?

"What else do you want me to say... Go back to your room and get some rest."

Ji Yingting was speechless. Xiao An had always been a bit silly. Was it really too much to treat her as a second Xin Yufei? It was a pity that her talent was so amazing, but it would be meaningless if she couldn't show it in the professional exam.

*Snap* The door slammed shut, and Bai Chang'an muttered under his breath, "Ah... I feel like Sakuraba-nee has become so cold lately."

She stood there for a long time, and could only sigh softly. The professional exam was putting a lot of pressure on her...

Of course, Xiao An knew she could only rely on herself; perhaps she just wanted someone to comfort her.

In Group B, Quan Shihui and Luo Qiu'er both won their matches, while Qin Hanyue and Shi Shishi both lost. After losing to Luo Qiu'er... Qin Hanyue's performance did indeed suffer a bit.

She lost to an unknown player, and Shi Shishi's second defeat was against Quan Shihui.

In this way, the two were back on the same starting line.

If I had to say something, Shi Shishi has been pulling back from the brink every year, always just a little bit away from the top tier.

Unfortunately, the gap between them cannot be bridged by simply becoming a little stronger. Shi Shishi's chess skills have remained almost unchanged for the past three years. She has already passed the age when it is easiest for her to improve. Whether she can become a professional chess player depends entirely on luck...

Faced with such a boring chess player, Quan Shihui naturally gave her a crushing defeat.

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

"Xiao An, aren't you going back to your room?"

Just as Xiao An was sitting in the corridor in a daze, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

"Sister?" Raising her head, long white hair fell to her eyes, and the face that was exactly the same as hers startled Xiao An, who hurriedly sat up straight.

Bai Yongye said with satisfaction, "Back then, I didn't expect you to grow to this level. If I had known earlier that Xiao An was also so talented, I would have taken you to the semi-professional dojo with me."

"Sister...it's been so long!"

Bai Chang'an bit her lip, having forgotten how long it had been since she had spoken to her sister. The words she found difficult to say remained hidden in her heart.

Seeing her sister reminded her of the extensive training she had undergone in order to reach the professional exam stage, forgetting all the hardships and joys, all in order to surpass her sister and become a professional Go player.

Even though I had made up my mind... I actually felt scared just because I lost to someone from a semi-professional dojo.

"I know you really want to beat me, right? I also know you've harbored resentment towards me for the past year."

"I have no right to resent my sister," Xiao An said softly, shaking her head blankly.

Bai Yongye sighed softly, "Of course, you're not qualified right now. I've seen your game records... your skill level is far too inconsistent. Tomorrow, Lü Binghu will follow my advice and completely expose your weaknesses. You can't beat her."

"........."

"Xiao An, you are my sister. I hope you can become a professional Go player one day, but definitely not now! Because... I won't allow anyone to stand in my way. I want to become a professional Go player alongside Lü Binghu, do you understand? Therefore, not only you, but I will also defeat those two without hesitation."

Watching her sister turn and walk away, a few tears welled up in the black-haired girl's eyes. Xiao An felt saddened by her own immaturity and also grieved for her sister's misguided thinking…

If you lose a game with this kind of feeling, you're actually the one most likely to break down, sister.

.........

As Bai Yongye left Xiao An with his long white hair tossing, he was actually in a bad mood. He had finally managed to see his sister, but he couldn't help but say some very hurtful things.

"Oh dear, what an arrogant girl! Bullying your younger sister like that isn't something a good older sister should do."

"who!?"

The deep voice startled Bai Yongye, especially in the middle of the night; it was such a strange, eerie voice…

Bai Yongye frowned slightly.

In the dim light of the night, her long orange hair was styled into a single ponytail like that of a married woman, her fair face was lightly made up, and a hint of a smile flickered in her orange eyes.

"Although I've never met you, your chess skills are quite different from that of Ma Gongling. Just like you said to your sister earlier, no... the gap between you and her is much larger. How do you plan to try to defeat her?"

A soft, charming voice rang out, utterly incongruous with her fair and delicate face. The orange-haired girl circled Bai Yongye once and asked softly.

Bai Yongye snorted coldly, "You know Ma Gongling? You must be a professional Go player, right? Why bother making things difficult for a candidate like me?"

The orange-haired girl covered her cherry-like mouth. "Ugh, I wasn't trying to make things difficult for you... I just happened to be passing by and overheard your conversation. If you don't like it, then forget it. I was looking for someone anyway."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently played with her long orange hair and walked away.

"Huff, huff!!!"

A few seconds later, Bai Yongye suddenly gasped for breath, his arm pressed against his heart as his eyes contracted rapidly.

Who is this woman?! Just speaking in her presence gives me a strong sense of suffocation!! Luckily, I left quickly…

......

"Shang Gongying, what are you doing here so late?! Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Dean Chu?"

Upon hearing the knock, Ji Yingting opened the door and nervously glanced around outside before letting the orange-haired girl in.

Shang Gongying walked to the large bed, curled up under the covers, and yawned. "I'm sleepy. Can't I sleep here?"

Sleeping? Here with me? Ji Yingting looked puzzled. She's so shameless, it definitely isn't Jiu Jiu or Qi Qi.

Shang Gongying?

No, although Ji Yingting felt a little apologetic for doubting Shang Gongying for a second, she immediately realized that this was not Shang Gongying, but a personality she was not familiar with.

"Um, well... well... actually, I..."

Ji Yingting rambled on, running her fingers through her disheveled, light green hair. Seeing Shang Gongying's other personalities now felt as awkward as meeting her mother-in-law, especially since it was a personality she had never seen before.

Don't you recognize me?

"Uh-huh"

Shang Gongying suddenly blushed slightly, and slowly took off her orange Taoist robe, gradually revealing her milky white skin. "Then come on, let's get to know each other by merging and having close contact, right?"

Snapped! ! !

........

"Waaaaaaah"

Curled up in the blankets, wiping away her tears, the orange-haired girl sobbed sadly.

Ji Yingting had left a red mark on her face, and tears streamed down her face like a river.

"I'm sorry, it was just a moment of impulse... I didn't mean it, Miss Wu Wu," Ji Yingting said a little embarrassedly, gently patting Shang Wu Wu's head to comfort her.

Chapter 515: The Emperor's Wrath

"Speaking of which, Wu Wu's tone of voice is very similar to her mother's, but she's the fifth sister. Do you usually talk to your older sisters like that?"

"No, I only do that with my sisters."

"Ah, what a typical example of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Ji Yingting left Shang Wuwu here for one night because she couldn't remember the password to Shang Gongying's room and was locked out.

The staff have all gone home, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow to ask for the password. However, it's surprising how frequently Shang Gongying's other personalities are appearing in reality…

.........

Professional exam, sixteenth round.
