Kang Wu, Zhang Haotian and Er Yan were stupid when they heard this name.

At first glance, Zhang Haotian couldn't correspond to him and the imaginary image of the chess saint, in Zhang Haotian's imagination, the chess saint should be white-haired and fluttering, with a face of vicissitudes, as if he had seen the image of the world for hundreds of years.

But the Kang Wu in his eyes is indeed white and pure, without a beard, his eyes are bright, where is it like a person in his fifties, according to the news that Zhang Haotian knows, Kang Wu should be in his fifties, but the Kang Wu in front of him is at most in his thirties. There weren't many traces of time on his face, and time seemed to pass much slower on him than the others.

Seeing the shocked looks on the two of them, Kang Wu just smiled, didn't say much, turned around and walked off the viewing platform, leaving Zhang Haotian and Er Yan in place with a surprised look on their faces, and they didn't react at all.

"Is he the chess master? He looks so young. "I hear them talk a lot every day, and the bone spirit remembers that the chess saint is called Kang Wu.

"He was so young, I didn't guess it was him at all. Zhang Haotian was completely unexpected.

"Me too. "Isn't Eryan feeling the same way as Zhang Haotian.

Will he really have the opportunity to play chess with him? Zhang Haotian deeply doubted this.

The chance encounter with the chess saint Kang Wu did not bring any miracles to this trip to the chess saint conference, Zhang Haotian and they still participated in the chess saint conference in an ordinary way afterwards.

The Chess Tournament was held in the Hundred Chess Arena of the Nanke Chess Academy, gathering more than 200 chess players from the Dao Realm, while the audience was arranged to watch the chess in another place.

Zhang Haotian and Er Yan stood among the many players, looking very inconspicuous, they were originally young people, and this was the chess saint conference where the four spirit chess players in the Dao world gathered, so Zhang Haotian and they looked inconspicuous.

However, Zhang Haotian knew that they didn't need to care about this, just to see the world, and even Yan Suisha didn't seem to be that important.

However, when the Nanke Chess Academy announced some of the details of this Western Regions Chess Saint Conference, Zhang Haotian still set his eyes on the high platform, the iron box sealed with words and sand.

It was a black iron box, and a purple talisman was pasted on the iron box, and at the same time, yellow lines stretched out from the purple talisman, enveloping the entire iron box. Before the final chess birthday, the iron box could not be opened, and Zhang Haotian could not see the true appearance of Yan Suisha.

After reading out the requirements of the conference, the lottery group began, Zhang Haotian was drawn in the tenth group, and Er Yan was in the twenty-first group, and after the two entered the Nanke Chess Academy, it was the first time that they were separated by such a long distance.

But this is also normal, as long as you don't draw in the same group, it's fine, and it's a good thing to be far apart. Zhang Haotian was so glad that he sat down on the chess table.

At this time, the other three chess players also sat down, and each of the four took a corner of the table.

The order of selecting chess pieces is determined according to the number behind the group when drawing lots, and Zhang Haotian drew three out of ten groups, so he was naturally the third to choose the chess pieces.

"Beast Spirit Chess. ”

"Phantom chess. ”

The first two chess players chose the chess pieces, and it was Zhang Haotian's turn to choose, Zhang Haotian glanced at the chessboard, and there were still Lingxi Chess and Emperor Blood Chess left, two chess heads.

Zhang Haotian stretched out his hand and landed on the head of the chess he chose: "Brute Spirit Chess!"

Zhang Haotian fell in love with the Four Spirit Chess when he was six years old, when he was considered unable to cast spells, and he was considered a waste in the family.

Except for the two or three relatives who were close to him, no one in the entire Zhang family was willing to approach him again, and Zhang Haotian, who was originally the center of the group of children in the family, lost everything in an instant.

None of the friends who used to play around wanted to get close to him anymore, and the whole family isolated him because he was a waste who couldn't cast spells.

But was that what he thought? He had no choice but to reluctantly accept this sad fate.

But he found a world to dodge from, the Four Spirit Chess. Only on the Siling chess table, he can find a sense of belonging, except for Xi'er, there is no one in the Zhang family who can win him, because not many people like to play Siling chess, so there is no high level.

Over the years, there are not many people who have played chess in Zhang Hao's world. Both hands can be counted, perhaps because of this, Zhang Haotian always has an illusion that his chess skills are already very good, and there are not many people who can win.

Playing chess with Wen Rennian and Baiwu reminded him that he was not only not accomplished enough in talismans, but in fact, even his proudest chess skills were just a frog in the well.

He lost, Zhang Haotian didn't even pass the preliminaries, and in the last round of the chess match to determine the top 16, he almost persevered to the end, but unfortunately lost. With just a few moves left, maybe he'll be able to qualify.

Er Yan stood aside, looking at Zhang Haotian, who was a little lonely, and didn't dare to step forward to say anything, she knew that Zhang Haotian must be very uncomfortable now.

But Zhang Haotian seemed to accept this ending, and didn't say anything about this defeat, he slowly turned his head to look at Er Yan: "Congratulations on qualifying, Yan'er." ”

Obviously congratulated her, but Er Yan didn't have a trace of joy in her heart, but at this moment, she could only squeeze out a smile and respond to Zhang Haotian: "Well, thank you, Haohao." ”

At this moment, it was as if the people around him had disappeared, and only the two of them were left in the entire Dao Realm, except for them, there was only an inexplicable melancholy left.

The final will start tomorrow, Zhang Haotian and Er Yan took the bone spirit back to rest, along the way, neither of them talked, Zhang Haotian was unwilling to talk more, and Er Yan didn't dare to speak.

Halfway through, they met Wen Rennian and Baiwu, who were waiting for them. Zhang Haotian greeted the two seniors a little blandly.

Wen Rennian and Baiwu are so experienced, they can naturally see what kind of mood Zhang Haotian is in now. At this time, comfort will only make him more lost and unable to get out.

"Zhang Haotian, I taught the serial set to be more varied, and you did it, but unfortunately, you paid too much attention to this change, but ignored the other party's movements, and didn't notice the other party's secret hand, which is your biggest mistake. What you have to think about now is, why are you losing, and what should you do to win?" Wen Rennian said mercilessly.

Even Baiwu felt that at this time, he was not talking too much.

But after listening to Wen Ren's words, Zhang Haotian's eyes changed a little, and he replied resolutely: "I understand, Wen senior, I will reflect on it." ”

For Zhang Haotian, merciless criticism may be more tangible than general comfort, over the years, he has not been comforted by Zhang Hai, and after listening to those comforting words too much, he has become weak. Those comforts did not change his life in those years at all.

What changed him was Eryan, the man who suddenly broke into his life, and was full of fascination.

That faint sadness couldn't be seen in Zhang Haotian the next day. Zhang Haotian continued to watch Eryan's game with Wen Rennian this day.

The qualifying match was held on the chess soul table of the Nanke Chess Academy, and the chess spectators could directly watch them play chess on the spot, and the chess soul table also arranged a large chessboard for the chess spectators to synchronize the situation of the chess game.

Zhang Haotian, Wen Rennian and Baiwu stood in the crowd, and they couldn't see the confusion of yesterday in their eyes. This time it's his true level, and he's come to terms with that.

As for Yan Suisha, she can only think of another way, whether it is Er Yan or Zhang Haotian, it is very clear that Er Yan and she can't go to the final chess game against the chess saint.

The round of 16 officially began, just as Wen Rennian had expected at the beginning, Er Yan easily won the opponent with her strange routine, after all, the opponents were not allowed to look at the games of other chess games in this conference, so they could not know the opponent's playing style in advance.

Although Er Yan entered the quarterfinals with a chess routine that no one had ever seen, from the quarterfinals, it was a best-of-three system. In the next game, Er Yan was still recognized by others, and the small tricks and deceptions she interspersed on the basis of her own methods were completely inferior to those familiar veterans.

In the next two sentences, Er Yan was completely defeated, and there was no resistance at all, just like the ending expected by Wen Rennian and Baiwu.

Er Yan, who was defeated, walked down, returned to Zhang Haotian's side, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Lost." ”

"The quarter-finals are already amazing, at least much better than me. Zhang Haotian said so.

"I'm better than you. When Eryan and Zhang Haotian got into a mouth, they forgot the unhappiness of losing.

Zhang Haotian laughed: "Don't be stinky and beautiful here, it's not certain who wins." It's not that you've taken advantage of the novelty of the chess style. ”

Seeing the two talking so easily, Wen Rennian understood that the two people in front of him had accepted the facts happily, so he had no thoughts of comfort, he originally thought that he had to comfort Er Yan, but it seemed that with Zhang Haotian present, there would be no need for this.

"So are you going to go home, go home, or what?" asked Baiwu.

Today's game has ended, Zhang Haotian and Er Yan have been eliminated, if it weren't for Yan Suisha not getting his hands on it, there is really no need for them to stay here.

"I want to watch the whole Western Regions Chess Saint Conference, and first see how the Chess Saint plays chess. "Zhang Haotian has only seen chess games, but now let's take a look at the real chess master, and what the chess will look like now.

"Since you want to stay, then you can stay, Wen Rennian and I will go back first. Baiwu said.

"Are seniors leaving?" Zhang Haotian was surprised.

"We went to Kang Wu privately and played two games of chess with him, and this trip was satisfied. You don't have any more games going on, so I think we're ready to retire. Wen Rennian explained.

"But, Senior Wen, if you don't have my teleportation Shi Feng, wouldn't it take a lot of time for you to go back to Hua Haiyao?" Zhang Haotian felt that he should personally send the second elder back.

Wen Rennian raised his hand and shook his head: "It's okay, you don't need to send it." Baiwu and I had already planned early in the morning, and this trip back should be regarded as a trip to enjoy the passing scenery. ”

Since Wen Rennian and Baiwu have decided so, then he can't insist anymore, so let the second elder go by his own will.

"Then the juniors won't send more seniors. ”

After sending Wen Rennian and Baiwu away, he was left to watch this Western Regions Chess Saint Conference with Gu Ling and Er Yan.
