Chess Game

The Guardian Formation Spirit sat on the ground in Lin Mu's room, as if it were controlled by some kind of force.

The originally rampant Shikigami was also continuously compressed under the influence of this power, eventually condensing into a black ball the size of a rubber ball on its chest.

The black sphere was filled with resentment and venom, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Lin Mu met its eyes.

The Guardian Formation Spirit also regained consciousness at this moment, and its gaze turned to Jaylen and Ben Gang, its killing intent clearly visible.

However, it cannot make a move due to the rules of the Chess Game.

"Is there any way I can help you?" Lin Mu asked.

"This Shikigami is terrifying; it must be related to the Abyss Clan. It's beyond my current capabilities to deal with!"

There are only two ways to defeat it!

"First, open the Formation. As the Guardian Formation Spirit, the stronger the Formation's power, the more my own power will increase, and I will be able to suppress this thing!"

"However, to open the Formation, you need to leave this place and cast the corresponding spell, which is absolutely impossible with your current Source Force."

"Second, clearing the Chess Game will awaken a divine thought left behind by the master. As long as the master appears, all these problems can be solved!"

At this point, there was a hint of helplessness in the Guardian Formation Spirit's eyes.

It knew very well that the Chess Game was difficult to break!

Lin Mu, who had previously played against it, was clearly a novice.

Even if they continue to compete, they will never be its match.

Lin Mu nodded slightly, his expression extremely calm.

He might not be able to activate the Formation, but he was still somewhat confident in winning the Chess Game.

With the system's help, he simulated the Chess Game thousands of times and became intimately familiar with every Chess Game.

He also had a way to break the deadlock.

Jaylen and Ben Gang were looking this way, a hint of coldness in their eyes.

They knew very well that this was Lin Mu's last resort.

His legs were still bleeding, and he was in danger of losing the Chess Game.

The Guardian Formation Spirit will be controlled again, and Lin Mu will surely die.

"What a pity! Such a talented person is going to die at the hands of their own people!"

"Who told that guy to have such a strange temper, setting up so many rules and regulations for a perfectly good Formation!"

"His mental state is indeed somewhat unstable, especially after that trip to the Demon battlefield!"

"..."

The two chatted as they watched the two playing chess.

Lin Mu moved very slowly, and each time he would think for a long time.

Although he had a way to break the deadlock in his mind, he was not skilled in chess.

However, the Chess Game itself is highly unpredictable; a single wrong move can lead to complete defeat.

The two sides continued to engage in a game of strategy.

Time passed slowly.

Jaylen and Ben Gang didn't know much about chess either; they just felt that Lin Mu was stalling for time.

They shook their heads slightly, their eyes showing disdain.

What good is delaying the inevitable? It won't change the fact that you'll die.

As Lin Mu placed the chess piece in his hand once again, the Guardian Formation Spirit sitting opposite him had a look of disbelief in its eyes.

It had previously thought that Lin Mu was stalling for time.

After all, this kind of Chess Game is not something someone of his skill level can solve.

However, as the two sides continued to play, it became very clear how strong Lin Mu's chess skills were.

Its trajectory was predicted at almost every step.

This also makes the later stages of the game extremely complex.

Now, Lin Mu has gained the upper hand.

If this continues, it will undoubtedly lose.

A slight smile played on its lips, "I never imagined that humanity could produce a genius like you!"

Lin Mu's face showed a hint of helplessness, and his complexion was somewhat pale.

As the Blood Dragon Transformation faded, the Blood Qi in his body was depleted.

Playing chess just now also consumed a lot of my Divine Soul Power.

Now he is almost like an ordinary person.

"This thing looks simple, but it's actually incredibly difficult!"

"The Chess Game represents life; one wrong move and the whole game is lost! You've already done a remarkable job to reach this point!" A smile appeared on the Guardian Formation Spirit's face.

Its chess piece fell to the ground once again.

This time, however, it had nowhere left to retreat.

Lin Mu placed the white piece.

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out.

The entire chessboard shimmered with light.

Ben Gang and Jaylen looked puzzled when they saw this.

They didn't understand the Chess Game very well, so naturally they couldn't see anything.

However, when the Chess Game shines, it is inevitably a scene where a winner is decided.

"The match is over! Who won?" Ben Gang couldn't help but ask.

"No need to ask, it must be the Guardian Formation Spirit. It has guarded this place for many years and knows the Chess Game very well!" Jaylen said.

"Then this kid is going to die!" A cruel smile appeared on Ben Gang's lips.

As the Chess Game ended, the power binding the guardian spirit gradually dissipated.

Lin Mu's body was enveloped by a mysterious power.

At that moment, an old man appeared in his Consciousness Space.

He looked exactly like the old man he had seen before.

His eyes swept over Lin Mu, a smile appearing on his face.

"Tsk tsk, I never thought that after all these years, someone would still be able to obtain Life Body!"

Lin Mu looked puzzled. "Senior knows about my physique!"

"Of course, this is a very mysterious physique. Since this physique has appeared, there must be a big problem in this space!" the old man said with a smile.

"Indeed, a large number of Demon Remnant Soul have been awakened, and many students are trapped inside!" Lin Mu explained.

"It's alright, I'll open the Formation soon, and those outside will be able to come in!" the old man said with a smile.

He looked at Lin Mu and asked in return, "Don't you find it strange? It's supposed to be a rescue Teleportation Array, but it's set up to be so complicated. Do you not really want people to get out?"

Lin Mu nodded. "It is indeed a bit strange!"

The old man slowly said, "The reason it's set up so complicatedly is to avoid trouble. Some things cannot be taken out of this space!"

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise in his eyes.

He understood what the old man meant.

The reason the process was made so complicated was to prevent someone from taking something away from the Ancient Life Palace.

Those who pass the test will be personally reviewed by the elder.

Nature can avoid many problems.

"It seems that there is indeed a legacy within the Ancient Life Palace, but that legacy has most likely been taken away by Demon!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He vividly remembered the scene from before.

He just didn't say it.

After all, the Demon have left, and nothing can be changed.

"Alright! Since you've passed the test, I'll activate this Formation for you. But before that, there are a few things that need to be taken care of!" The old man looked to the side.

A hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes as he looked at Ben Gang and Jaylen.

"The Abyss Clan is still using their methods! Your Turtle Country, are you truly not afraid of death?" the old man said coldly.

He flicked his finger, and a force landed on the Guardian Formation Spirit.

Sizzle!

Sounds rang out, and the black sphere within the Guardian Formation Spirit's body melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun, accompanied by a series of shrill screams.

The aura emanating from the Guardian Formation Spirit continued to rise, and its gaze toward Jaylen and Ben Gang was filled with killing intent!
