"Ah... he lied."
Shindo Hikaru, who had been watching the match, had not even had time to greet Xu Yue before he was immediately startled by the uncle playing against Mitani.
That aura was completely different from before. Even as a spectator, he could feel the sheer ferocity.
Although Mitani was fairly skilled at Go, he immediately panicked when facing a professional-level opponent like this.
He could only force himself to stay calm, telling himself that he still had a lead of more than ten points. As long as he held on, he could win.
However, his fighting spirit had already faltered, and his opponent had seized the momentum. Mitani could think only of defending his territory.
Xu Yue shook his head. If Mitani had taken advantage of his current lead and continued attacking, relying on the boldness and adaptability of youth and using some newer techniques, he might still have caused his opponent some trouble.
But blindly defending against an opponent with such an obvious gap in strength was clearly useless.
"Twelve points!"
As his opponent placed another stone, he announced how much the gap had narrowed.
"Ten points!"
After several more exchanges, Mitani was completely unable to resist.
"Eight points!"
"Four points!"
"Two points!"
"I've caught up. Now it's time for me to take the lead."
Seeing that the brat had already been overwhelmed by his aura, the dark Go player burst into laughter. Opponents like this were simply too easy to deal with!
What he loved most was seeing that helpless weakness in his opponents, their faces full of despair as they faced his relentless pursuit.
Especially on the face of such an arrogant little brat—it was truly satisfying!
That was why, after the other party agreed to the ten-thousand-yen wager, he had not immediately crushed him
