The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Ji Qiuyao muttered to herself, her gray pupils slowly closing.

Two withered yellow pupils reflected two withered yellow maple leaves. A comfortable breeze blew by, and Ji Yingting, sitting in the chair, was slightly stunned. Her pale purple starry eyes swept around.

The starry chessboard that she used to see had somehow changed into something else.

The setting sun was slowly sinking overhead, and countless withered yellow maple leaves were falling from the sky. The autumn wind swept the leaves, covering the ground.

Ji Qiuyao's long, withered yellow hair was constantly being lifted by the breeze, and red maple leaves were scattered all around her, with more and more red maple leaves being blown down by the autumn wind every second.

A gentle breeze continuously blew through Ji Yingting and Ji Qiuyao's long hair.

"Is this her chess position...? What a beautiful chess position." Ji Yingting looked up at the red maple leaves falling from the sky, somewhat stunned.

call! ! !

The red maple leaves were blown into a sphere by the breeze, gradually enveloping Ji Qiuyao's body, and her eyes slowly opened.

Boom! Soon after, a gentle breeze wafted out, lifting the hem of Ji Yingting's water lily-colored Taoist robe.

Before anyone knew it, a withered yellow-red cloak appeared on Ji Qiuyao's back, a cloak-like coat embroidered with countless maple leaves.

Ji Qiuyao opened her eyes; her pupils had returned to their original yellowish-brown state, within which seemed to reside a tiny red blade: [Chess Strategy - Autumn Kill].

----------------------------------------------

[Chess Strategy - Frosty Crown] Ji Bingyuan said softly, and a hazy icy mist gradually gathered above her head, soon revealing a magnificent ice-blue crown.

With a soft "whoosh," Ji Bingyuan exhaled a wisp of icy blue mist from her cherry-like lips, and her right hand, accompanied by the icy mist, landed on the chessboard.

"Hoo!" Luo Zhuyu exhaled a breath of cold air, and a thin layer of frost gradually covered her body. She gripped a black chess piece with difficulty in her right hand, and her thoughts gradually slowed down.

The Frost Crown, the inherited chess strategy of the Ji family on the Moon... makes one's mind incredibly clear while significantly weakening the opponent's calculation ability.

However... "it's common sense that auxiliary positions are useless at the amateur level."

Luo Zhuyu gave a faint, cold laugh and slammed her right hand heavily onto the chessboard with a loud thud.

"Yeah"

Wearing a beautiful ice-blue crown on her head, Ji Bingyuan smiled at Luo Zhuyu with her ice-blue eyes narrowed.

“I am different from the other chess players in the Ji family who possess the Ice Crown... because this is a chess position that only the head of the Ji family or the next generation of heirs can possess.”

As soon as Ji Bingyuan finished speaking, Luo Zhuyu's pupils widened suddenly.

Boom!

In an instant, six icy blue beams shot straight into the sky beside Ji Bingyuan. She slightly opened her mouth and whispered, "Ice Crown - Full Liberation."

Chapter 111: The Chess Game - Sitting Alone Under the Frosty Sky

Wearing a beautiful ice-blue crown on her head, Ji Bingyuan smiled at Luo Zhuyu with her ice-blue eyes narrowed.

In an instant, six icy blue beams shot straight into the sky beside Ji Bingyuan. She slightly opened her mouth and whispered, "Ice Crown - Full Liberation."

Six beams of ice-blue light bloomed like flowers in an instant, and the barrier formed by the six huge petals resembled a giant palace in the moon.

A gorgeous ice-blue gown adorned Ji Bingyuan, her expression icy cold... Her two pairs of ice-blue eyes stared intently at Luo Zhuyu.

Her slender left hand supported her chin as Ji Bingyuan sat upon a massive throne! The throne was covered in icy patterns, and magnificent frost permeated the seat.

Ji Bingyuan's queen-like posture completely shocked Luo Zhuyu. Her two fair and beautiful thighs were draped together, and the airflow formed by the ice mist turned into an ice-blue ribbon hanging behind her.

As winter descended, endless frost enveloped Luo Zhuyu's body, and her eyes slowly closed... as if she had fallen into hibernation... and fell into a deep sleep.

[Chess Strategy - Sitting Alone Under Frosty Skies]

With the demeanor of a noble queen, Ji Bingyuan slowly spoke, her ice-blue bun completely unfurled, her ice-blue hair transforming into a long, flowing strand that cascaded down to her waist, exuding unparalleled elegance.

Get moving!! My thoughts, my mind, my memory.

Luo Zhuyu thought painfully, her body seemingly falling into hibernation and ceasing to think.

Of course, only Luo Zhuyu's soul was frozen; in reality, the cute girl with long, dark green hair frowned deeply.

Her mind was like a rusty part; what was once an incredibly simple chess game was now as difficult as climbing to the sky in Luo Zhuyu's eyes.

"Damn it... Is this the chess style of Ji Xuehuang, the current chess saint of the moon and the current patriarch of the Ji family? No, it is said that Ji Xuehuang can achieve the third-dan liberation, while Ji Bingyuan's is only the second-dan liberation... I can still hold on!!"

Luo Zhuyu shook her head violently, her long, dark green hair swaying wildly... Was she going to be forced to use the chess position?

No... Her moves are extremely effective against me. If my calculation ability is severely hampered while I have to focus on controlling my moves, I'll definitely run out of time!

In any case... I can only rely on my intuition to deal with her! Her powerful momentum can't be maintained for long.

*Thud...* Holding a black chess piece, Luo Zhuyu quickly placed a piece down with her left hand on her forehead. Since her calculation ability was frozen, she would rely on her chess sense to make judgments!

Of course, the winning rate in rapid chess is very low in this kind of competition... It can only be said that Luo Zhuyu had already gone all in at this point.

---------------------------------------

Before anyone knew it, a withered yellow-red cloak appeared on Ji Qiuyao's back, a cloak-like coat embroidered with countless maple leaves.

Ji Qiuyao opened her eyes, which had turned into two withered yellow pupils, with what appeared to be a small red sword blade within them.

"[Chess Strategy - Autumn Kill]" she said slowly.

With her crimson maple-leaf eyes fixed on the chessboard, Ji Qiuyao gently picked up a white chess piece.

pat...

White placed its piece down, blocking Black's attack.

Ji Yingting quickly placed another black piece. She couldn't help but ponder what the purpose of Ji Qiuyao's moves was. It didn't seem to be related to momentum.

An Ruotong's Hungry Ghost Path and Hua Shenxi's Nine-Tailed Autumn Water Butterfly are chess moves that completely amplify the momentum, with extremely exaggerated visual effects.

Ji Qiuyao blinked, her crimson maple-leaf pupils darting around before she calmly placed a white piece on the board.

"Hmm? It's gotten longer. So that means you agree to go with me through the avalanche..." Ji Yingting nodded to herself, her long, light green hair swaying.

With a soft thud, Ji Yingting blinked her pale purple starry eyes and slowly placed a black chess piece onto the chessboard.

Pat, pat, pat, pat.

Step by step, Ji Yingting and Ji Qiuyao continued to place their pieces at a steady pace. However, after Ji Yingting placed a piece, Ji Qiuyao slowly withdrew her right hand and suddenly began to ponder for a long time.

………………

………………

Time passed slowly, and Ji Yingting's expression became somewhat strange.

Huh... what's she doing lingering in a place like this? The timer doesn't have that much time to spare.

Ji Yingting slightly furrowed her light green eyebrows. This was just a very ordinary capture shape. Ji Qiuyao's next move would definitely be to "extend". Thinking about it at this time was completely meaningless.

Three minutes... five minutes, seven minutes passed.

Finally, Ji Qiuyao's crimson maple-leaf pupils turned once, and after several minutes, she raised her slender right hand again.

With a thud, Ji Qiuyao's white stone landed in the long position, but this was something even a beginner could do.

Ji Yingting ruffled her long, light green hair, her slender fingers gently pinching a black chess piece and dropping it onto the chessboard, then slowly pushing it up to the next square.

Boom! !! Something unexpected happened.

The instant Ji Yingting placed her piece, Ji Qiuyao swiftly placed her next piece, causing the chessboard to tremble violently from the force of her move.

Ji Yingting, who had just pulled her right arm back, was slightly stunned. She blinked her purple starry eyes gently, still not quite understanding what had just happened.

No... How could that be? This is a variation of the Great Avalanche. Normally, the player with black would block the outside, but I clearly blocked the inside.

Ji Yingting frowned her light green eyebrows. Faced with the less common inner side defense, how could Ji Qiuyao not think for even a second before placing her piece?

Moreover… she didn’t look like she wasn’t thinking at all… but rather… she already knew that her move was meant to block from the inside! Ji Yingting suddenly raised her head.

---------------------------

With her crimson maple leaf eyes darting around, Ji Qiuyao seemed somewhat unusual at this moment. She was draped in a withered yellow-red maple leaf cloak, and her eyes were filled with a crimson world.

[Chess Strategy - Autumn Kill]...

When Ji Qiuyao activates the "Autumn Kill" move, she can predict where her opponent will place their next move after she makes a move.

Therefore, Ji Qiuyao was not actually thinking in a meaningless way, but rather she was thinking about the changes that would occur after Ji Yingting made his next move.

PS: I should be able to add an extra chapter today, depending on the situation!!!

With her crimson maple leaf eyes darting around, Ji Qiuyao seemed somewhat unusual at this moment. She was draped in a withered yellow-red maple leaf cloak, and her eyes were filled with a crimson world.

[Chess Strategy - Autumn Kill]...

Therefore, Ji Qiuyao was not actually thinking in a meaningless way, but rather she was thinking about the changes that would occur after Ji Yingting made his next move.

With a snap, Ji Qiuyao quickly placed another chess piece.

"Hmm?" Ji Yingting frowned slightly, her green crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowing. Ji Qiuyao's movements were indeed very strange to her; rather, it was a problem with her calculation rhythm.

However, this must be some effect of her chess position. Ji Yingting thought calmly, having seen many different kinds of chess positions.

pat, pat.

The two continued placing their pieces. After glancing at them, Ji Hongying slowly walked behind Ji Yingting.

"Hmm? My sister's strategy seems to be under pressure. Black actually suffered a loss in the large avalanche variation in the upper left corner."

Maple Leaf's pupils constantly reflected the changes in the chess game. Ji Qiuyao's right hand slammed down a chess piece, and her chess move, Autumn Kill, could be maintained until the middle game.

However... as things stand, the black and white sides are still evenly matched. How can this be broken? After pondering quietly for a few seconds, Ji Qiuyao nodded expressionlessly, shaking her long, withered yellow hair.

Gazing at the stunningly beautiful girl with long, turquoise hair before her, Ji Qiuyao spoke slowly, her eyes narrowed into pale purple slits.

"The purpose of my 'Autumn Kill' move is to anticipate... to predict the opponent's next move."
