After a commotion, everyone sat down.

Yang Xiao looked at the first grandmaster of the Wuxing Go world standing on the podium in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.

He knew this person so well that he even said that he used to miss her.

The first grandmaster of the Wuxing Go world on the podium is his senior sister, Chen Rong, the daughter of Chen Guohua, the Chinese national chess saint.

Yang Xiao's heart was about to jump out, and he was excited.

The senior sister who suddenly disappeared from the world a few years ago actually appeared in Wuxing, which was hundreds of light-years away, and was also the dean of the Great Dragon Empire's Chess Academy, and the first grandmaster of the Wuxing Go world.

this

What's going on?

Chen Rong stood on the podium, casually glanced at the people below, and began to lecture.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Rong, and I am the dean of the Great Dragon Empire Chess Academy.

Commissioned by the Great Dragon Emperor, I will give you a lesson on Go,

In everyone's eyes, Go is a tool and means used to cultivate spiritual power.

But, in reality, Go is an art, a philosophy of life.

The ultimate goal of the game is to appreciate the "Tao" of perfect harmony from it, and to pursue the common perfect ...... of chess and life."

Chen Rong talked eloquently, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and from Chen Rong's mouth, they realized the true connotation of Go, which was very different from their usual understanding of Go.

Looking at the way his senior sister lectured, Yang Xiao's thoughts suddenly returned to when he first met Chen Rong, at that time, Chen Rong had just taken over the responsibility of teaching him Go, humble and kind, beautiful and generous, always giving him a sense of intimacy like a sister next door.

After Chen Rong disappeared, he missed her very much, and he really didn't expect to see her here today.

Most of the people on Wuxing learn Go from the aspect of offensive and defensive skills, the purpose is to cultivate spiritual power, and few people explain the connotation of Go like Chen Rong.

Chen Rong's lecture gave everyone a feeling of seeing the sun and moon through the dark clouds, and some of the ideas that were tangled in my heart suddenly became clear.

There were bursts of applause in the hall from time to time, and sometimes it caused everyone to smile.

Unconsciously, Chen Rong spoke for more than an hour.

"Alright, that's all for today's lecture, goodbye."

After speaking, Chen Rong got up and floated away, leaving the reluctant eyes of everyone in the hall.

The eldest prince patted Yang Xiao's shoulder and said excitedly:

"Listening to the grandmaster's words is better than me playing chess for three years, it's worth the trip!"

Yang Xiao smiled faintly:

"If you can learn Go with her for two years, the progress will be even greater."

Wan Yan He sighed and said:

"Where do we have this life? I heard that even the students and tutors in the chess academy are not able to meet the grandmaster every day, and it is difficult to play a game of chess with the grandmaster.

Moreover, the grandmaster has a high temperament, and many people want to ask her to play chess at a high price, but they are all refused. ”

......

Su Xiao sat in the first row, and after Chen Rong left, he stood up and muttered:

"Alas, after talking for a long time, none of them are useful, we are learning Go just to cultivate spiritual power, talk about how good the specific Go skills are, and talk about these useless things, wasting time."

Bai Ming, who was standing beside Su Xiao, looked at Su Xiao speechlessly.

The next day, Yang Xiao, Wan Yanhong, Su Xiao, Bai Ming and a total of eight people participated in the finals, according to the rules, each person had to play a game with the remaining seven opponents, record everyone's victory or defeat, and finally rank with the winning record.

Because the level of the players in these finals is relatively high, it is also a good opportunity for many participants to observe and learn, so everyone came to the competition hall early to occupy favorable seats and watch the game.

According to the competition arrangement, one game in the morning and one game in the afternoon every day, each person has to play against 7 other people, and a total of four days of finals will be held.

Regarding the selection of champions, the highest voices are Yang Xiao and Su Xiao.

Yang Xiao is a dark horse, and Su Xiao is a white horse.

Wan Yanhong and Bai Ming are strong contenders for the top three, and the remaining four players are relatively weak.

The final on the first day was uneventful, and Yang Xiao defeated two players.

The next day, Yang Xiao defeated the two players again.

On the morning of the third day, Yang Xiao's opponent was Bai Ming.

When the two played the 186th chess piece, Bai Ming abandoned the piece and conceded defeat.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yang Xiao won the lottery against Yan Hong.

"Brother Yang, I'll take the initiative to admit defeat with this sentence." Wan Yanhong knew that he was not an opponent, and said to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao waved his hand,

"Then how can it be done, Go can't be a winner or a loser in the first place, you only think about the winner or loser, so why play Go? Besides, don't you want to fight for third place? ”

"Third place?"

"Well, yesterday Bai Ming and Su Xiao fought a game, Bai Ming lost, Su Xiao won, this morning Bai Ming was defeated by me again, he has now lost two games in a row, and you only lost to Su Xiao once, if I let you win one game, you can surpass Bai Ming and win the third place."

"Huh? This, is this appropriate? ”

Wan Yanhong was very excited in his heart, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

As the third place in the finals, there are three opportunities to play chess with the first grandmaster, and the time is really rare.

However, Yang Xiao let himself play a game, and he was really embarrassed.

"But, Brother Yang, if you let me play a game, then when you and Su Xiao fight, it won't be very disadvantageous?"

"Hehe, I don't care about the first place, the second place is fine."

For Yang Xiao, as long as he enters the top three, he can have the opportunity to meet Chen Rong alone, and he is satisfied.

As for the first or second false name, he really doesn't care.

In the afternoon game, Yang Xiao deliberately lost to Wan Yanhong.

Although everyone can see that Yang Xiao deliberately wants to let it, there is no way.

Bai Ming, who was watching the battle, was very angry.

"Yang Xiao, what do you mean by deliberately giving Yan Hong a game?"

"Which eye did you see that I deliberately gave it to Yan Hong? Wan Yanhong's chess skills are very high, I'm not his opponent, this is normal! ”

"You?"

Bai Ming was angry, but he couldn't say anything.

"Hmph, you'd better pray that you won't be defeated by Su Xiao tomorrow, otherwise, you will lose two games and have the same results as me."

Yang Xiao smiled faintly:

"It's okay, it's a big deal to play an extra game with you, I also want to appreciate Dean Bai's chess skills!"

"Hmph, I'm not necessarily inferior to you!"

"Of course, I don't think I'm taller than you."

Yang Xiao grinned and didn't care.

The next day, Yang Xiao only had one last game left, which was against Su Xiao.

Wan Yanhong also has one more game, but his opponent is much weaker than him, and it is not surprising that he can win 100%.

The biggest highlight of today is the battle between Yang Xiao and Su Xiao, which is a big drama that everyone has been looking forward to for several days.

If Yang Xiao wins this battle, then Yang Xiao and Wan Yanhong will both lose only one game and can be tied for second place.

Bai Ming could only rank fourth because he lost two games.

If Yang Xiao Yang Xiao loses to Su Xiao, then, Yang Xiao loses twice, and Bai Ming's result is the same, the two are tied for third place, and then an overtime game will be held to decide who is third and who is fourth.

Yang Xiao and Su Xiao respectively made it to the chessboard.

Su Xiao smiled coldly and said:

"Yang Xiao, you are the biggest dark horse in this exchange competition, and the old man also admires your chess skills and mental strength.

Yang Xiao was stunned,

"How does Dean Su want to play?"

"Simple, I'll put an endgame, the black and white side is up to you, no matter which side you choose, if you can beat me, count you as a winner, how about it?"

"Endgame?"

Yang Xiao sighed in his heart, Nima's, don't play cards according to the routine.
