"Master~".
Yaksha God Ten'i looked around with his arrogant and aloof gaze and asked, "Aren't there any spectators today?"
Her words caught everyone off guard, including Luo Chen, into a sudden realization.
Oh, right!
Today, it seems there are no spectators.
After all, the competition was being held at the residence of the famous Yuzuru Hanyu.
As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the door.
It was very quiet outside the door.
Given the reputation of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament, this shouldn't have happened. It's likely that the Shogi Federation had staff clear the venue beforehand.
"Haha! Young friend Luo Chen, you've arrived?"
A clear laugh suddenly came from inside the door.
Following them, Mitsuru Ikushi appeared with his daughter, Asuka Ikushi, and the female Go player, Tomoe Shoko, whom Luo Chen was quite familiar with.
"Senior Shengshi?"
Luo Chen was surprised.
"Come in quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time." Sakushi Mitsuru waved with a smile, and when Luo Chen came in, he lowered his voice and reminded him, "The president is here today too."
"Moonlight Saint World?!" Luo Chen frowned, suddenly feeling a surge of excitement.
Back then, he challenged the Moonlight Saint World, but was severely taught a lesson by this Sky Lord.
Now, he has enough confidence.
Isn't it just the realm of gods?
We are ready to fight!
"Young friend Luo Chen, you should still show some respect and address him as 'President' instead." Sheng Shichong was somewhat amused and exasperated to see Luo Chen address him by his given name directly.
"Sorry." Luo Chen touched his nose sheepishly.
"Well, apart from the chairman, the people watching today are mostly well-known 8th and 9th dan players in the industry. There are no other spectators."
"Of course, this match will be broadcast live on all Japanese television stations."
Ikushi Mitsuru then gave a brief introduction to today's match format.
Luo Chen nodded and smiled, "I understand."
As they walked and talked, they passed along a scenic stone path, through a bamboo forest, and finally, a few scattered figures gradually appeared.
Yo Kito and Kento Itoya were among those listed.
Go deeper.
A white-haired gentleman with his eyes slightly closed was calmly drinking tea on the side of the river, next to a secretary in an O1 uniform with a very good figure.
Moonlight Holy World!
Then, go even deeper!
On the opposite side of an open chess table, the famous Hanyu Yuzuru appeared, dressed in white.
When Luo Chen saw him, the famous Yuzuru Hanyu also saw Luo Chen. He smiled slightly and waved.
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan, please."
Chapter 430 For five hundred years, no one in the chess world could rival him (The Finale)
The Kyoto Meijin final was not played in a public setting, but it was still broadcast online.
As a result, this match resulted in a record-breaking number of offline spectators but an almost explosive number of online viewers.
The number of viewers watching online is in the 500 million+ range!
And this match also shocked countless people.
I thought that even if Luo Chen had defeated a 9-dan A before, Shinobu Daishi was already on the decline at that time.
His strength is no longer at its peak.
Even though Luo Chen at that time used the Divine Hand to deliver a brilliant move that rivaled the divine.
However, these things are nothing special when compared to a celebrity like Yuzuru Hanyu; they are by no means exaggerated.
However, once the game actually started...
Countless people were shocked!
In the first battle, both sides seemed to be testing each other's strengths, and Luo Chen ultimately won by once again using his divine move.
In the second battle, Yuzuru Hanyu showed his true skills and also entered the realm of gods, but Luo Chen was even more monstrous.
He was in full imperial regalia.
Even the renowned Yuzuru Hanyu, who had entered the realm of gods, was completely helpless after a few rounds.
Can't beat them?!
The ninth-dan A-ranked players present all showed varying degrees of astonishment, looking at Luo Chen in disbelief.
Especially Shinobu Daishi, he couldn't imagine that Luo Chen hadn't used his full strength when dealing with him that day?
How can this be?
A strange sense of failure welled up inside me.
In the third game, Luo Chen went all out from the beginning, using a move called "Xiang Gua" to leave the famous player Yu Sheng in a sorry state.
Even though the renowned Yuzuru Hanyu had exhausted all his skills, he was no match for Luo Chen's terrifying offensive.
The highest reading from both sides once reached 9000+.
The tournament is a best-of-five format.
At the beginning, everyone thought that the celebrity Yuzuru Hanyu would give his junior a game first, and then easily win 3-1.
In reality, the famous Yuzuru Hanyu was defeated by Luo Chen 3-0!
The war ended.
Everyone was unable to calm down for a long time.
Only Moonlight Saint World, after sitting quietly for a moment, smiled, clapped lightly, and said, "Congratulations to Luo Chen, 8th Dan, for winning the championship of this Kyoto Meijin Tournament. Of course, according to the rules, you will also inherit the Meijin title! Also, in a few days, please make a trip to the headquarters of the Shogi Alliance. It's time to change the 8th Dan after your name."
As the president of the Shogi Federation, everyone understood what his words meant.
From today onwards.
Luo Chen, this seemingly handsome and young boy, is about to become the youngest 9-dan in Japanese history, and also the youngest celebrity!
Compared to this honor, Yaichi Kuzuryu's previous title of the youngest Dragon King suddenly seems insignificant.
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
After the famous Yuzuru Hanyu said that, Luo Chen smiled slightly and asked, "President, titles and ranks are not important. If possible, I hope you can grant me a request."
"Oh?" Moonlight Saint World feigned surprise.
"Last time, during our first-year JS graduate school competition, you showed me what the sky of the shogi world is like. Now, I feel like I've also reached that sky, and I want to see it again," Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Young friend Luo Chen!"
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan?"
"you……"
The surrounding 9-dan A-rank players all widened their eyes, while some of the players who were on good terms with Luo Chen became anxious.
Although Luo Chen is now thriving and possesses extraordinary chess skills, he is still far inferior to someone like Moonlight Saint.
Under such circumstances, losing to Moonlight Saint World is not a big deal; losing to the chairman of the Shogi Alliance, an invincible being like Moonlight Saint World, is not shameful.
The worst fear is that if Luo Chen loses to Moonlight Saint World and witnesses the difference in strength between the two, his Dao heart will collapse!
"Not going to wait another two years?" Moonlight Saint asked with a faint smile.
"I won't wait any longer. I have full confidence now. All I lack is an opportunity to fight you, guild leader," Luo Chen said.
"I'll be waiting for you in this same place three days from now."
Moonlight Saint World didn't linger any longer. Luo Chenyan knew from this that this guy definitely had something to hide.
Having been invincible for many years, he had long awaited such an opponent.
Now we can fight.
He has no reason to avoid it!
This scene was broadcast live throughout Japan, instantly causing a huge uproar.
In an instant, the whole of Japan was in an uproar.
The world of shogi was in an uproar.
