If Yue Mieguiyi were here, he would probably exclaim with a classic calm face, "Wow, I never knew Kong Yinzi could say such a thing."
"Okay, I will."
Luo Chen rolled his eyes. Before saying goodbye, he still felt inexplicably upset, so he couldn't help but cup Kong Yinzi's face and kiss her fiercely.
"Hmm?" Kong Yinzi was taken aback. She didn't close her eyes, but opened them and looked at Luo Chen gently with her beautiful azure eyes.
More than ten minutes later.
Luo Chen returned to the entrance of the JS Research Institute.
Scored twice.
They even sent away the empty silver.
"Suddenly, I feel like I want the Celebrity Tournament to start soon, really."
Luo Chen shook his head, sighed, went back to his room to take a shower and have breakfast.
After taking the young crane to the school in the front hall and greeting Teacher Murasame,
Drive to school!
On another note, after a whole weekend apart, I wonder if his Vice President Kaguya Shinomiya has recovered yet.
Chapter 266 The decline of the ninth dan, or the rise of a new generation?
"Attend class!"
"Hey~ Stand up!"
Hello, teacher!
In Class 2-F, after Hiratsuka Shizuka announced the end of class, everyone stood up to greet her, and then a standard Japanese language class began under Hiratsuka Shizuka's narration.
Luo Chen's "academic genius brain" has now been well-established, and he no longer needs to continue learning and accumulating knowledge without limit. Naturally, he is quite relaxed during class.
He glanced at Kaguya Shinomiya.
The young lady, Kaguya Shinomiya, was also looking down, lost in thought.
Behind Kaguya Shinomiya is Yukino Yukinoshita.
With her pretty face turned to the side, her clear eyes were fixed on the view outside the window, unaware of what captivating things were happening there.
This amusing scene actually happened during class time!
Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "Who would have thought that the top students at Xiuzhi Academy don't actually study in class?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was probably used to all of this and adopted an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude, simply ignoring it.
Anyway, whether it's Kaguya Shinomiya, Yukino Yukinoshita, or now Luo Chen, they don't need her to supervise their studies at all.
Luo Chen took out his phone.
Since I have nothing to do... it seems like it's been a long time since I've browsed the shogi forum.
The Kyoto Meijin Tournament is about to begin.
This match will be the last, most prestigious, and largest-scale competition of the year in the world of shogi.
The related discussions are brewing almost every day.
As December approaches, the atmosphere of anticipation becomes increasingly exaggerated... which is understandable.
Luo Chen clicked into the shogi forum.
My original intention was just to browse some tidbits of gossip in the world of shogi out of boredom, but as soon as I clicked in, I was overwhelmed by a series of trending topics at the top of the list!
[The next generation's celebrity has been identified? It's that man!!]
[The terrifying 'divine move'! The Silver Paladin's 273rd move sealed the victory, utterly defeating Master Yuzuru!]
The decline of the ninth dan, or perhaps the rise of a new generation?
【The terrifying Goddess Ayumu!!】
[Having witnessed this battle, has Ayumu Shinnabe truly become the number one player of the new generation in the world of shogi?!]
【…】
"What happened?"
Luo Chen was awestruck by these messages, and at the same time, he was also quite surprised.
I haven't checked the page for just a few days, how come so many strange news stories have popped up, and they even seem to be related to Ayumi Kamiya?
But hasn't Shen Guo Bu Meng been with me all this time?
Why is this news suddenly popping up?
Luo Chen calmed down and carefully looked through some trending topics. Finally, he found a clue in some comments and news content.
It all started the night before last with a public shogi match that took place online.
Eight-dan master Ayumu vs. nine-dan master Yuzuru Hanyu.
In this match, Ayumu Kamina showed a level of strength far exceeding his previous performances, as well as a playing style that was completely different from his usual "Kamina style".
Step by step, they managed to make even the 9A-level celebrity Yuzuru Hanyu extremely embarrassed.
But a 9A player is a 9A player after all, the pinnacle of shogi in each era, and in the mid-to-late game, he was slowly turning the tide.
Just when the tide was about to turn and everyone believed that 9A was still unshakeable!
Suddenly, Kamiya Ayumu unleashed a 'divine move' that no one could have predicted...
After a long period of silence, celebrity Yuzuru Hanyu simply chose to concede defeat.
"Hoo~!"
The sheer volume of news made Luo Chen squint his eyes and purse his lips slightly. Feeling that simply reading the news wasn't enough, he specifically sought out a replay of that online match.
For the next three lessons, Luo Chen was completely absorbed in this online game of chess.
From his perspective, Ayumu Kamina's technique has indeed improved significantly, almost reaching a qualitative leap.
The immense and terrifying strength of celebrity Yuzuru Hanyu was fully revealed.
Whether this is the full strength of the famous Yuzuru Hanyu remains to be seen... After all, so far, Luo Chen has only faced off against one 9A-level player.
However, that one person cannot be used as a standard. After all, that guy, Moonlight Saint World, is definitely an overpowered existence even among the 9A chess players.
Furthermore, regarding the 273rd move, the 'divine move' that Kamikaze Ayumu suddenly unleashed was so incredible that even Luo Chen had to admit it was extremely exaggerated!
It's impossible to know whether this move by Ayumu Kamiya was due to a stroke of luck, or whether his talent and ability were suddenly unleashed to a terrifying degree.
However, Luo Chen had to admit it.
This move is almost comparable to "The Witch King's Blessing," and among chess players, it's considered completely "foul" and "overpowered."
As you watch the replay to the end, you'll see a barrage of comments.
Some praised Ayumu Kamiya's progress, some exclaimed that a new generation of celebrities had been born, and others discussed whether the celebrity Yuzuru Hanyu held back.
Opinions varied widely, and the more they were discussed, the more outrageous they became.
Luo Chen didn't continue watching. He closed the video, interlaced his fingers, rested his chin on his hand, and a very interested smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems that everyone has made great progress. As Shen Guo said, the Kyoto Meijin Tournament in December is really going to be interesting."
The original generation of top players, during the Adachi Ryuo Tournament, were generally at the level of professional 8th dan.
Perhaps it is a level above the peak of the eighth dan, but it is absolutely impossible to reach the ninth dan, let alone the ninth dan A-level.
In that case, with Luo Chen's current strength, he could easily crush them. Even if he conceded a point, he would still have a chance to break through.
Therefore, Luo Chen never really took the new generation of players in the Kyoto Meijin Tournament seriously. The only two opponents he considered were "White-Clad Meijin" and "Wanxiang Tianluo".
But now it seems that the strongest of the new generation have all raised their level to at least ninth dan...
In this way, wouldn't we be able to view this Kyoto Meijin Tournament as a contest between six 9A-level Go masters?
Suddenly, Luo Chen recalled the silly things that Shen Guo Bu Meng had said to him the night before last.
"My dear friend, this Kyoto Meijin Tournament, huh~! It's really going to be tough."
This guy wasn't just making things up without reason.
Luo Chen couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose and chuckled to himself.
Just then..
"Ahem~!"
Suddenly, a deliberately clear cough sounded in my ear!
Chapter 267 Wood Release: Tree World Wall!
"Ok?"
Luo Chen raised his head and met a pair of eerily beautiful red eyes, but at this moment, their owner looked slightly unnatural.
Under his gaze, her pretty face flushed considerably in an instant.
