"Yes! That's right! You bastard! Don't underestimate me! I'm the number one 8-dan Go player in Kansai!!!"
Takuto Uchimura thought to himself with a certain obsession, even madness.
"I'm ready. The timeout is over. Please continue the game."
After speaking to the referee, Uchimura Takuto turned around, picked up a Go piece, and thought of a completely new strategy with a gleam in his eyes.
Make your move!
Snapped!
Luo Chen's chess playing speed seemed to have suddenly increased.
However, the increased speed seemed to have no effect whatsoever. Luo Chen's move was precise and accurate, accurately predicting the path that Uchimura Takuto had just thought of.
Without a doubt, because of Luo Chen's move, the new strategy that Uchimura Takuto had come up with was blocked again!
If this continues, it will inevitably lead to further losses, making it impossible to carry out any further action and ultimately trapping them in a trap.
"asshole!!"
Uchimura Takuto cursed under his breath in frustration, while simultaneously shouting in his mind, "There's more than one new path to the game!!"
The interpretation of the eighth dan is beyond the reach of a thousand hands!
He discovered a brand new path in the game, and he adjusted his tactics once again, placing his pieces and employing unorthodox methods.
Snapped!
Luo Chen's 10th move was just as fast as his 9th move, and it produced the exact same effect.
It was predicted again!
Takuto Uchimura staggered violently, but unwilling to give up, he roared in his heart once again: "What a joke! I still have a way to play, you bastard?!"
The 21st move of the game.
On Luo Chen's side, the crisp sound of a piece being placed followed closely once again, like a persistent, lingering ailment. This kind of move already placed an extremely heavy psychological burden on Uchimura Takuto.
However, the speed at which the pieces were placed also began to increase, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the pieces followed closely behind him.
As a result, every time a piece lands in the chess room, it makes two consecutive, identical, crisp sounds: "Snap! Snap!"
Takuto Uchimura felt like he was going crazy, really going crazy. He couldn't bring himself to shout and roar in his mind like he had just done.
If he could, he would even want to burst into tears, unable to accept being treated this way by his opponent, and unable to accept that he would encounter such a strange opponent in his shogi career.
He felt that he had also become... no longer arrogant. Faced with Luo Chen like this, he didn't dare to speak provocatively like he did at the beginning, and he didn't even dare to speak louder than 60 decibels again!
Something inside me seemed to shatter with a "bang".
Uchimura Takuto's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He shook his head frantically in his mind, gritting his teeth, and forcing his arm, which was now completely exhausted, to lift his corner piece and lower it as if it were yet another move...
In his heart, he naturally hoped for a chance at survival, even if it was just once!
It wasn't about winning; it was about wanting to pick up what had suddenly shattered and piece it back together. That thing... it just couldn't, it couldn't...
Snapped! !
The sound of the piece being placed, like a bone-deep infection, seemed to be possessed, echoing in his ears again. 393 fell again, even before Uchimura Takuto, who had just finished placing his piece, had straightened up again.
"Ha~"
Uchimura Takuto slowly straightened up, looking at the spot that Luo Chen had grabbed again, which was not surprising at all, and suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
Immediately afterwards, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He tilted his head back and burst into a series of inexplicable laughs that seemed strange to outsiders.
"Uchimura-kun?"
The referees were dumbfounded, wondering what had suddenly happened to Takuto Uchimura.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Takuto Uchimura pushed the referee away, covered his head with his hands, and rushed out of the Go room while crying. His steps looked unsteady, yet he was in a panic and moved surprisingly fast.
It was as if something terrifying was chasing him from behind, and he wanted to run away desperately to avoid being caught.
The referee was stunned, the professional chess players outside the chess room were stunned, and the chess fans were completely stunned.
Only Luo Chen, with his eyes lowered, held a jade pendant between his thumb and forefinger, muttering to himself, "Sorry, but to win faster, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. I hope you can be stronger, the number one 8-dan in Kansai."
P.S.: I saw the comments, but I'm still updating a Food Wars fanfic. I want to update more, but I'm powerless to, since my writing speed is limited. I'll just post the last chapter I had saved up. I'll also post a picture of Nino to console myself. When I read The Quintessential Quintuplets, my favorite character was short-haired Nino.
Chapter 318, 24 moves, the 'Miracle Kill' defeats the number one 8th Dan!
On the third floor, in an elegant tea room.
The players with the 9A rank stopped their factional disputes over Kanto versus Kansai and Ju Feiche versus Zhen Feiche, and began to watch the game seriously.
His gaze was particularly focused on Luo Chen, Kuzuryu Yaichi, Kamina Ayumu, and Kofuji!
However, both Luo Chen and his opponent, Uchimura Takuto, were playing too slowly.
Moreover, Luo Chen's chess style is so bizarre that it's impossible to understand. Even the top-ranked players with nine Aces eventually lose interest in watching.
Their gazes then fell more on the other three.
Time passed quietly.
Suddenly, Mitsuru Ikushi and Taishi Shinobu exclaimed in unison, "Kiji's battle is over!"
The others also turned their gazes in that direction.
As 9-dan A-rank players with extraordinary skill and an omniscient perspective, after a few moments of contemplation, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"As expected~".
"That's only 31 moves! This Fujii guy is really like he's cheating! He's insane!"
"Incredible, but to be frank, this Fujii guy clearly already has the real strength to break into the 9A."
"Mainly, his playing style is too tricky, often taking things by surprise. He seems to resemble someone from the later stages of his career."
"Hehe~, Yu Guitou, saying 'someone' is too awful. Just say he's like Jiu Daijue in the late stage of a game of chess."
Several students from Class 9A were having a great time.
As they were talking, another person finished the match.
Shen Guo Bu Meng!
With a look of regret, he took out lip balm from his pocket, applied it to his lips, then drew his sword, stood up, and pointed it at his opponent, who was bowing his head, clenching his fists, and whose lips were trembling.
"Brother Yashiro, you have disappointed us greatly. If you had surrendered earlier, perhaps we, the Silver Paladins, would have been the victors this time!"
Kamiya Ayumu covered her left chest with one hand, sheathed her greatsword, and began to bow deeply at a ninety-degree angle again.
So cringey!!
"This guy!"
Shinobu Taishi, looking annoyed, complained, "He's exactly like that woman, the 'Female Masterpiece,' all weird and eccentric. I just don't understand, how could a 'Masterpiece' lose to such a chuunibyou kid?"
Yuzuru Hanyu smiled lightly, not provoked by Shinobu Taishi's words, and said softly, "Putting everything else aside, looking at this kid's record, it's not that bad. He defeated an eighth-dan in 36 moves, and he even gave him a head start!"
The words of celebrity Yuzuru reminded everyone, and the nine Aces re-examined the number of pieces on the board and were all somewhat shocked.
This immature kid! He's even resorting to self-deprecation!
To be able to kill an 8th Dan in 36 moves while giving the first move is a feat that rivals not only Kofuji's previous 37-move kill but also his current 31-move kill!
"Nine-Headed Dragon, 31st move!"
Yu Guitou Yao, who had recently participated in the same training session as Kuzuryu Yaichi and had always been quite optimistic about Kuzuryu Yaichi, suddenly spoke up.
The third of the four young champions has finished his match!
Kuzuryu Yaichi also won by 31 moves, achieving a record that is completely equal to that of the brilliant Kofuji.
"That kid, Nine-Headed Dragon, once mentioned at my banquet that his 'mutual hanging' strategy is very suitable for sealing off the enemy in the early game, and now it seems that's true." Kento Itoya stroked his beard.
"Starting with a loss of a corner, followed by a frenzied attack... it's truly not to be underestimated. The Nine-Headed Dragon's talent shines as brightly as ever in this era." Mitsuru Ikushi shook his head and smiled.
Shinobu Daishi narrowed his eyes, inexplicably, even as the head of the 9A team, the most powerful and dazzling existence in the Go world.
However, after watching these three consecutive matches where the eighth dan completely shut out the eighth dan in the opening, I actually felt an immense pressure!
The weight of this Kyoto Meijin match in his heart inexplicably rose again, even giving him a sense of immense weight.
"Alright, now we're left with Luo Chen as the last one. He's been thinking the longest and playing the slowest. Although his moves are unpredictable, we'll see if he brings us any unexpected surprises~"
Jiu Daijue gave a strange smile and turned his gaze to the chess room where Luo Chen was playing.
The others in the room, along with Jiu Daijue, all turned their gazes in that direction.
However, their gazes had barely been cast there, and before they could even take a closer look or calm themselves down, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Uchimura Takuto, hailed as the number one 8-dan Go player in Kansai, inexplicably burst into tears, clutching his head and shouting, "Impossible! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!!" As he shouted, he ran wildly out of the Go room as if possessed.
The tea room was completely quiet!
,
Several 9A-level experts were stunned, their faces filled with incomprehension and astonishment, some even exclaiming in shock with their mouths agape.
After a long while, someone finally spoke up quietly: "It's only down to 24, what's wrong with Uchimura Takuto?"
