The Identity of the Pawn

With victory, a gentle power spread throughout Luo Jun's body, his wounds began to heal rapidly, the dirty bloodstains were automatically cleaned up, and even his torn clothes were restored.

Is this the initial treatment effect described in the introduction? It's pretty effective!

It was also because of Luo Jun's strong physique that ordinary Wind Blade could hardly damage his bones. Although he looked covered in blood, they were actually just superficial wounds.

After the treatment was completed, the enormous Arena collapsed, and Luo Jun returned to the chessboard once again.

"I'm back!"

"It's over so quickly?"

"What was the result?"

Hearing whispers around him, Luo Jun looked up at the blood-red cannon statue before him. Cracks were beginning to appear, and with a series of clanging sounds, it crumbled into dust...

"We won!"

A wave of admiration erupted from the surrounding crowd. Although they didn't know what kind of cannon the other side was, just looking at the buffs, they knew it wouldn't be easy to deal with. The fact that the defending side could actually Counter-kill showed that this guy Ye was indeed worthy of his reputation and had some skill.

Then, new information suddenly appeared above Luo Jun's head, namely his health status and energy reserves.

Health status is indicated by color: green represents good health, yellow represents minor injury, and red represents serious injury. The gradient from green to red shows the degree of injury. Vitality is simply displayed as a percentage.

This information only appears on pieces that have experienced battle, clearly intended to help veteran generals plan their actions and use Blessing Spell.

Looking at Luo Jun's health status, it is a pure, unblemished green, and his vital energy reserves are 100% full.

There's nothing he can do; his vital energy is simply too vast, and he's only at the Body Refinement Realm. Aside from items, he doesn't have many ways to consume vital energy, so even if he wanted to consume 30%, it wouldn't be so easy.

When others saw this information, their expressions changed from admiration to surprise.

Counter-kill without taking any damage?!

That's unlikely, but at least they won this round at a very low cost!

"Night! Who's that cannon guy on the other side?"

The other chess pieces behind him asked.

According to the rules, the opposing chess pieces are also projections of masters from various worlds. If they survive the battle, they will reveal their true forms. However, Luo Jun's opponent was defeated and did not show up at all.

Among the chess pieces, although the cannon is not as good as the chariot, it is still in the second tier along with the horse. If we know the identity of this piece, the difficulty of this task will be easier to judge!

"I don't know him..." Luo Jun shook his head and honestly replied, "An old man who can control the wind."

That description is too broad... There are countless beings in other worlds who can control the wind, and there are countless old men... But Ye doesn't recognize him. Isn't he a very famous master?

Little did anyone know that this renowned "Night" was merely a newbie who had only been involved with Yuanqi for a little over three months. Aside from the Chaos Mission, the only otherworld he had ever been to was Savage Wilderness teeming with monsters, and he hadn't encountered a single Otherworlder...

Not much useful information was gleaned, the Game must continue, and it's Black Side's turn to act.

Qi Xingzi above seemed to be confused by his opponent's unconventional moves and didn't know what to do until the time limit was almost up, at which point he finally made a move.

The Black Cannon moved from the second to the fourth position, landing between the two red soldiers.

It's Black Side's turn. Black moves his Horse 2 advances to 3, securing the central pawn just like Red Side.

Qi Xingzi ultimately did not act rashly. After considering it for a moment, he chose to advance his pawn five spaces.

Luo Jun's base moved forward one space.

She was probably very confident in this pawn that had "Counter-kill" the cannon without taking any damage, so she decided to send "Night" Crossing the River first.

Red Side, however, chose to advance its pawn to the third rank.

Luo Jun saw that the red soldier to his left had moved forward one space, facing the opposite bank.

Qi Xingzi seemed to have lost her touch. She wasn't good at chess to begin with, and now she had to consider the strength of the pieces, which gave her a headache. In the end, she moved her pawn forward one space, pushing Luo Jun forward another square.

Luo Jun Crossing the River successfully, and the Red Side's central pawn was right in front of him.

Even cannons can Counter-kill, so facing a mere soldier, even if you lose the initiative, it shouldn't be a problem, right...? Qi Xingzi seems to have high hopes for this mysterious "Night".

Red Side seemed wary of Luo Jun's record, and as expected, they didn't move their central pawn. Instead, they advanced their pawn three spaces forward, sending the leading pawn across the river first.

Qi Xingzi didn't move. Judging from her moves, she seemed to intend to let "Night" capture the pawn to break the deadlock. However, after capturing it, she would have to face the initiative of the Red Horse. Playing two games in a row would not only result in injuries, but also inevitably deplete her energy. Even the strongest pieces probably couldn't withstand that...

But this pawn on the other side, who's practically crossed the Crossing the River, has delivered himself right to our doorstep. Let's test the waters with him first!

Pawn advances one rank from the seventh rank, capturing the pawn!

The Black Pawn advanced and arrived in front of the red soldier statue.

This Black Pawn is a bespectacled, refined-looking man who had previously aspired to become a knight or knight but failed both times, ultimately only managing to obtain the pawn rank. However, judging from his displayed abilities, he is a Shapeshifting Faction, capable of transforming into a carnivorous dinosaur. It's unclear whether the pawn's status will enhance his transformed power...

A pawn and a soldier were swept into Different Space. It was the first time Luo Jun had ever seen someone else duel. He saw that both pieces had disappeared, leaving only the spot where the pieces had been placed, where a battle symbol of clashing swords appeared, slowly floating up and down.

Did they see me in this state just now?

Everyone was focused on the battle marker, which suddenly began to flash after about five minutes.

"It's coming out!"

"It was the same last time!"

Hearing the other chess pieces, who had experience before, shout this, Luo Jun also focused his attention.

As the battle markers disappear, the two pieces reappear. The red pawn still occupies its position, while the Black Pawn is left with only a base.

Where are they?

Just as everyone was wondering, the red soldier drew his sword and slashed at the Black Pawn's base. The base split in two and turned into dust.

We lost?! We lost even going first!

Everyone turned their attention to the red soldier, only to see the piece split open in the middle, revealing a refined middle-aged man with an Eastern face, dressed in a blue robe and holding a long sword.

As the true form is revealed, a status bar also appears above the person's head.

The icon indicating good health is between yellow and green, and the remaining energy level is 83%.

This indicates that he was injured in the battle, but not too seriously, and won after expending about half of his energy.

The fact that he can maintain this level of strength while on the defensive indicates that he is significantly stronger than the Black Pawn. Logically, the pawn should be the weakest of the Red Side pieces, so how can he possess such power...?

Just as everyone was analyzing the situation, the four remaining red soldiers who hadn't moved also split open, revealing their true forms, who were also dressed in green robes and wielding swords!

Looking at the five identical "soldiers" on the field, everyone suddenly realized that the same pieces on the Red Side were all projections of the same person!

Who exactly is he?

"It's him!" A long-haired woman occupying Black Pawn recognized the red pawn. "I've seen him before! He's Scholar Sword Fang Ru, one of the top eight finalists in last year's Famous Swords Tournament!"
