The second duel between Bai Xiao and Gao Yuan took place in the lounge area on the top floor of the library, surrounded by greenery.

1500 years ago, a group of artistic magicians renovated the rest area of the library, in which the artistic temperament of the proposal, the rich responsible for the implementation, the money is like the earth, the simple space on the top floor of the library was transformed into a magnificent hanging garden.

Today, after the transformation of generations of artistic magicians, the hanging garden of Hongshan Academy has become a scene in the city, and even if it is far away, you can see the flowers suspended in the air at a height of dozens of meters.

On the top floor, in addition to the dining area, discussion area, meditation area, there is also a circular lecture area. It is surrounded by stepped seating that can accommodate hundreds of people, and in the middle there is a podium for people to talk.

Bai Xiao and Gao Yuan gathered around the podium and laid out the chessboard.

The hundreds of seats around it were already overcrowded, and many more were struggling with what should have been a spacious speaking area.

Considering that Hongshan College implements the policy of elite soldiers, there are only more than 100 people in one grade, and there are only more than 600 people in the five ages combined, this lecture stage seems to attract more than half of the students of the college, as well as a large number of tutors.

The game between Bai Xiao and Gao Yuan has such an attraction.

Of course, people are not concerned about the chess skills of the two, but the "practice progress" of the two.

Since the announcement of the year-end test plan more than a month ago, Bai Xiao has been a little shallow and rarely appears in public, and even the live broadcast has been temporarily suspended.

As the undoubted leader of the entire academy, his preparation work naturally attracted everyone's attention.

On the other hand, Gao Yuan, as the general under the command of Yuan Shi, bears the heavy responsibility of fighting Bai Xiao in the year-end test, and people can't help but wonder how the demon master plans to change this border county boy so that he can be qualified to fight against Bai Xiao.

Now Bai Xiao took the initiative to make an appointment to fight Gaoyuan, as if it was the curtain for the big battle in a month.

However, as one of the focuses of attention, Gao Yuan was already a little trembling.

"Senior brother, let's be in the same house, don't embarrass me so much. ”

Bai Xiao didn't care: "Isn't backgammon your strength?" ”

"How can I dare to say that I am good at backgammon!" Gao Yuan wanted to cry without tears.

A few months ago, he did feel that he was good at backgammon, and at least he could casually bully students of the same age...... But he was soon taught by Senior Sister Qingyue to be a person, and they learned the rules on the spot, pondered the chess theory on the spot, and then hung Gao Yuan on the spot, and the poor border county boy was slumped from then on, and he felt a sense of malaise.

Bai Xiao didn't expect to see him for a while, and Gao Yuan was actually in such a depressed spirit, so he condescendingly looked at Gao Yuan and asked, "Isn't the love going well?"

"......" Gao Yuan was shocked on the spot, his eyes widened like willow leaves, "Senior brother, you ......"

Recently, he has indeed been in a bad relationship, although he and Gao Rong have met occasionally, the relationship has always stayed at the acquaintance stage, no matter what, it is difficult to go further, and the setback of love has also made Gao Yuan's whole person become less confident, sluggish and shriveled, like aged beef......

But this kind of thing, even Bai Xiao can see it?!

Bai Xiao said: "So if you can win me once, she will be very different about you." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned again, and then his willow-like eyes burst out with an astonishing look.

This makes sense, if you can really win once, whether it is others or yourself, your confidence in yourself will be greatly improved.

In the past month or so, Gao Yuan has not been idle, he has undergone very strict training under the original poem, which is no longer what it used to be.

The level of magic knowledge soared again through live broadcasts, and the maturity of the magic weapon was also close to consummation, although this fat man from the border county has always been a little inconspicuous in the eyes of outsiders, but he actually already has the strength of a senior student.

If he wasn't in the same era as Bai Xiao Qingyue, he would even be an undoubted peerless genius!

Therefore, it may not be that there is no chance of winning at all, after all, the rules of Demon Dao backgammon are extremely unfavorable to Bai Xiao!

The last battle actually fulfilled this very well, but Bai Xiao found a loophole in the rules and cooperated with Qingyue to win.

This time, Gao Yuan will not leave Bai Xiao with a chance to take advantage of it.

And under the advantage of the rules, Gao Yuan felt that he really had a chance to win.

After all, according to Mr. Yuan Shi, he is a core member of the year-end test...... If, as a core member, he can't compete with Bai Xiao at all under the advantage of rules, then he should quit the group as soon as possible.

"Okay, then ask Senior Brother Bai Xiao to confirm the rules and prepare to settle down!"

With Gao Yuan's high-spirited words, a milky white light burst out on the chessboard, and the rules of the Demon Dao were like a network that shrouded the two people who were playing the game. Under the protection of the light, all actions must be carried out in accordance with the "established rules", which is one of the basic functions provided by the lecture area, in order to ensure that when there is a debate or other controversy in the lecture area, it can be resolved in a reasonable manner.

And this function is just used to make the two play.

Gao Yuan pondered for a while, and put forward the rules he proposed, which were similar to the previous game, but more detailed: when playing chess, you can use demonic powers, but only on the chessboard, and you must not use people, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not communicate with people outside the area......

Bai Xiao glanced at it and nodded: "No objection." ”

"Okay, then please go first. ”

Bai Xiao was not polite, his hand fell, and he was calm.

Gao Yuan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but doubt Bai Xiao's self-confidence.

Where does his confidence come from?

——

Ten minutes later, the answer was revealed.

Gao Yuan looked at Bai Xiao's five-star beads with a colorless face, feeling that his IQ was insulted by himself.

It doesn't matter if he loses, what matters is that he can't figure out how he lost!

There was no fancy supernatural power, Gao Yuan's long-awaited demon battle completely failed, and the two sides were alternately falling on the chessboard one by one, and then Gao Yuan found himself inexplicably pierced by black chess.

Looking back afterwards, Gao Yuan felt as if he had fallen into a trap from the first hand, and every step behind was in the other party's plan, like a spider silk entangled, and unconsciously, he forced himself to open a five-star channel for the other party.

But is this possible?

Frankly, backgammon is not such a difficult game, and once you figure out the rules, it is a daily pastime for all ages, with very limited complexity. As one of the masters, Gao Yuan has long remembered the ordinary chess path, and when he meets those newcomers who have not been in contact with the game for a short time, he is like an emotionless harvesting machine, and he can torture and kill the other party with his eyes closed. And with such a high level of proficiency, and without the carelessness when facing Qingyue last time, Gao Yuan really didn't think that he would lose so inexplicably.

After pondering for a long time, Gao Yuan couldn't help it, and said, "Another plate? This time I'll do it first." ”

Bai Xiao smiled: "Okay." ”

So after another ten minutes, Gao Yuan looked at the five-star beads on the chessboard with a gloomy face again, and clenched his fists deeply.

According to his years of experience, backgammon is a game with a great advantage in the first move, and if there is no ban, the first move will win, and after joining the ban, black has a higher winning rate than white. So for the first time, it is understandable to let Bai Xiao take the lead and lose in the end. But just now he took the lead in black, but he still lost the chess game cleanly, which is very intriguing......

Gao Yuan took a few deep breaths and forcibly swept away the haze in his mind.

Although the most ideal result is that it will not be obtained, the dream of reviving the majesty will be shattered, and the relationship with Gao Rong will be even more precarious...... But no matter how difficult life is, it still has to go on, Gao Yuan has long been accustomed to failure in his life, so this has cultivated an amazing resilience.

He didn't cling to a momentary victory, but forgave himself: since Bai Xiao specifically called him out to challenge, of course he was sure of winning, if he really let Gao Yuan win, it would be a strange thing.

Gao Yuan just didn't understand where Bai Xiao won.

The rules were carefully determined by him, there were no loopholes to drill, and Bai Xiao could neither contact off-court support like he had done in the previous game in the Blur Domain, nor could he use any magic to confuse the opponent. It's simply a matter of winning in chess.

Gao Yuan plays chess with people, and he can generally calculate twenty moves, and with the advantage of being familiar with chess games, he is invincible to ordinary people, even if he faces Qing Yue who was a beginner at that time, Gao Yuan is confident that he will fight with the opponent without a win, but Bai Xiao has just shown the computing advantage of the crushing level, and he has counted from the first step to the last step.

If this was done by Qing Yue, Gao Yuan was not surprised at all, after all, the brain structure of the Snow Mountain Princess was really different from ordinary people, and she joined the top Demon Dao Laboratory as a newcomer and served as the main researcher, this kind of person is really not a problem to play a backgammon.

But Bai Xiao has really never been good at wisdom...... He studied the theory of the Demon Dao by relying on the liver explosion day and night to make up for the mediocrity of his understanding, why was he suddenly brilliant in backgammon?

There must be a conspiracy in this!

Gao Yuan also thought about it at this time, losing to Bai Xiao is not a big deal, he often got Bai Xiao's help before, at this time, sacrificing his face to achieve Bai Xiao's prestige is also a matter of course, but on the other hand, as a core member of the original poetry team, even if he loses, at least he must lose clearly, you must know how far Bai Xiao has grown in the past month or so!

"Senior brother, do you mind changing the way you play?"

Bai Xiao said: "How to play?"

"We ...... Play Go. Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, "Have you heard of it before?"

"I've heard a little about it, and I know some of the rules. ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "So, does Senior Brother mind playing Go with me?"

"Okay. ”

When Gao Yuan heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he had undoubtedly judged that Bai Xiao must have relied on something, otherwise how could he confidently take on the challenge of something as complex as Go, which is enough to make people's brains explode?

Just because Takato doesn't look like a master!?

It is true that Gao Yuan is only at the level of ordinary enthusiasts in Go, not to mention that compared with those professional chess players, even amateur masters can easily beat him, but ......

First, no matter how amateur he is, after all, he has played, learned, and has certain attainments, but Bai Xiao is a real beginner, and he doesn't even have a month and a half of familiarity time.

Second, Gao Yuan is a demon Taoist after all, not a chess player, so when he plays chess, he can use some tricks.

He closed his eyes, the demon seed in his body contracted and beat like a heart, and the demonic energy of the spiritual domain diffused out, but it only lingered in his body.

In an instant, Gao Yuan seemed to be in a fantasy world, and in a cloud of mist, he gradually forgot everything about himself, and his mind became blank.

The next moment, a new color appeared in my mind.

It was a black and white chessboard.

There is nothing else in the world.

And the black and white sons on the chessboard also became as if they had life in his mind.

The next moment, Gao Yuan opened his eyes, and the temperament of the whole person was completely different.

Not only Bai Xiao, but also the students watching around the podium also exclaimed.

"Virtual personality?

"Isn't that the magic power of the Silver Realm!? He's only a first-year freshman!"

"There's something about this fat man......"

The supernatural power used by Gao Yuan does have the value of making people exclaim, the virtual personality is the blocking of the spiritual realm, which can forcibly shape a personality in the mind, and this personality can be completely different from the ontology, and even master the knowledge that the ontology has never mastered!

This is a powerful supernatural power that can be used to the depths and can even be used for divination in the future!

Gao Yuan has only been enrolled for less than a year before he was able to get a first glimpse of the door, and even if he has a legendary demon seed, his attainments can be described as amazing.

And judging from the personality he devoted, he is obviously a Go master, and it is likely to be a professional level!

Then under the conditions of a fair game, Gao Yuan simply won the victory directly!

So people began to look forward to Bai Xiao's response again.

How can he outperform a professional chess player under the constraints of the rules?

——

This time the game was much longer than backgammon.

It wasn't until an hour later that Gao Yuan sighed and failed.

And the people around him can't even breathe out of the air.

Anyone who knows even a little bit about Go will be amazed by the one-hour game.

Because it was not so much a game as a one-sided slaughter, in an hour of the game, Gao Yuan's chess holding time accounted for more than 95%, no matter how he planned and strategized, after the move, Bai Xiao would follow within ten seconds.

And it is this incredible rapid chess move of ten seconds that kills the high and far possessed by professional chess players.

Gao Yuan's virtual personality and chess strength are beyond doubt, at least a few children of the family who are responsible for the voluntary commentary on the scene have given very high evaluations.

In comparison, Bai Xiao's rapid chess is ...... Unfathomable, even inexplicable, many of the moves are completely out of the ordinary, and even feel like pure amateur suicide.

However, when he came to the middle game, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the first person to notice it was naturally Gao Yuan himself, who fell more and more slowly, and cold sweat began to ooze from his head, as if he was experiencing an incredible nightmare.

The onlookers were shocked long after that Bai Xiao's careless step-by-step rapid chess on the chessboard had formed a lore formation against Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan did not struggle any longer, the personality of a professional chess player gave him an unyielding fighting spirit, and also gave him a clear vision of reality, and after realizing that he was in a desperate situation, he surrendered.

After sighing, this temporary personality receded like a tide, leaving only a melancholy and confusion, making Gao Yuan bitter and unspeakable.

The virtual personality he created is a chess addict who has only been extremely good at chess all his life, and the prototype is a chess saint who swept the world 300 years ago. And a master who treats Go as his life is killed in an incomprehensible way, and this blow is physically and mentally shattering.

The bitter feelings did not go for a long time, and when Gao Yuan spoke, he was almost hoarse.

"Senior brother, are you ...... How?"

When he raised this question, Gao Yuan's heart was even more uncomfortable, he originally wanted to use his ability to crack the secret of Bai Xiao's chess strength, but the fiasco just now made him disheartened for a while, and he had no desire to fight again.

Lost, all lost, there was no chance of a comeback at all, so ...... What kind of face do you want, just kneel and lick it directly.

Bai Xiao was honest, since Gao Yuan asked, he directly revealed the mystery.

A golden sphere appeared in Bai Xiao's palm.

Gao Yuan looked at the golden ball, a little inexplicable: "What is this?"

The same question also appeared in the minds of hundreds of onlookers.

Obviously, this is the secret of Bai Xiao's extraordinary chess skills, but ...... Even the academy tutors present couldn't see what the golden ball was famous for a while.

It can only be judged from the fluctuation of the magic energy emitted from it that this is an extremely powerful magic tool, but what magic tool can make people suddenly have the chess power that surpasses that of the chess master 300 years ago?

Even if it is a communication device seeking off-court support, Bai Xiao must be able to find a master who can kill the chess master in seconds!

Although the virtual personality created by Gao Yuan is a person 300 years ago, the chess ability naturally cannot be compared with today's people, but it is also a genuine professional level, and after crossing the professional threshold, there will be no world of difference between each other's chess strength.

So, what the hell is this golden ball?!

"The Eye of the Heavens. Bai Xiao said a name that was unfamiliar to many people, and then paused and explained, "This is a magic calculation device. ”

"Magic Calculation?!"

The next moment, without waiting for Gao Yuan to speak, some people in the audience outside the venue were not calm.

"How did I not know that there was such a powerful magic device in the world?!"

The person who spoke was a slender academy tutor, who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a slightly old Demon Dao robe, and completely untouched loose hair, all of which fully explained his self-positioning: an older single dog who was obsessed with the Demon Dao.

However, in Hongshan Academy, the more raunchy single dogs they are, the more they tend to have real talents, such as Zheng Liming is an excellent example. And after the tutor spoke, students quickly recognized him.

"Ling Wei?"

At the mention of the name Ling Wei, more people began to make a sudden statement, this is indeed a celebrity in the academic circle, specializing in the field of magic calculations - using magical powers to perform super calculations. At present, a variety of magic computing devices have been invented, which has helped Hongshan College establish a great leading edge in this field.

It can be said that in the field of magic calculation, this is the authority of the Great Qin Empire, but he does not believe at all that a palm-sized magic tool can achieve Go computing power that completely surpasses that of human beings.

"It's not that there are no magic calculation devices that are better at playing Go than humans, there is one in the Grand Master's Broken Number Laboratory, or the 'Red River Three' that I modified myself, which can complete 320 billion chess deductions in one second, which is enough to destroy any human chess player, but that kind of large-scale device will occupy half a classroom space no matter how miniaturized it is! And every time it starts, it consumes a huge amount of magic energy, and it takes two or more golden spikes to output energy at the same time to maintain operation, may I ask you, is this palm-sized eye of the sky a magic tool from the future that has traveled 500 years later?!"

Facing the imposing magic calculation master, Bai Xiao said calmly: "Strictly speaking, the Eye of the Sky is just an interactive terminal, and its own computing power is indeed limited, but it is directly connected to another large magic computing device with a blur network, and it can directly output the calculation results of the large device. And you're right, large devices need to consume a huge amount of magical energy, and every time they are opened, they require a Dragon's Tear. ”

Ling Wei was stunned when he heard this, his bloodshot eyes widened: "You mean, you just used a Dragon's Tear just to play chess with that kid?!"

Bai Xiao said: "It is also to verify the efficacy of the Eye of the Sky Dome, indeed, as the store said, the blurred network will not be divided, the calculation results are clear and conclusive, and the interaction method is also very user-friendly......"

Before Bai Xiao could finish introducing the various benefits of this Heavenly Dome Eye, Ling Wei couldn't wait to step forward and glared at the magic tool in Bai Xiao's hand.

Bai Xiao simply threw the magic tool to Ling Wei, allowing him to observe more carefully.

After a while, Ling Wei returned the Eye of the Sky Dome to Bai Xiao, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You, the Eye of the Sky Dome, are connected to a self-made magic computing device?" It seems that the computing efficiency is not bad...... But it's not the best out there. ”

Bai Xiao said: "It's true that it's not the best, but the best is not open to the public. ”

"It's not that it can't be opened at all, the key is whether there is that channel...... Forget it, I'm talking a little more straightforward, I have a magic calculation device that has just been installed, and the performance is three percent higher than your self-made one......, are you interested in cooperating with me?

In the end, Ling Wei's eyes were about to glow!

Bai Xiao was surprised: "Your magic computing device, is the magic energy utilization rate so high?!It's twice as high as mine?"

Ling Wei also said calmly: "No, I just plan to directly use the Dragon's Tears to hire a few golden spikes to work." ”

——

Bai Xiao finally agreed to Ling Wei's proposal.

Lu Nan said when he was building the Eye of the Sky Dome that his magic calculation technology was not the top in the world, so he couldn't create the best magic calculation device, so he could only build a unique interactive terminal, and then use the channel of red leaves to purchase a strong magic calculation device with standard performance as the host. If Bai Xiao has a way to get a better one in the future, just let the Eye of the Sky Connect with it.

And Ling Wei, as an expert in magic arithmetic at Red Mountain Academy, the magic arithmetic device he mastered was indeed better than the one that Bai Xiao purchased from Red Leaves, and it was not a bad thing to have one more promotion channel.

Originally, he just wanted to use Gao Yuan to verify the function of the newly arrived magic equipment, but there was an unexpected joy, Bai Xiao was satisfied, and he was ready to get up and say goodbye.

After that, the training plan is still very tough, and there is no need to waste any more time.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly said: "Senior Brother Bai Xiao, I want to challenge you to 'auto chess', do you dare to respond!?"
