Why is it always playing when it's with you?!

"Then, without further ado, let me see the skills of my juniors."

Wu Shuheng smiled and walked to the first Go board, picking up a white stone and placing it.

After Wu Shuheng finished his move, the student sitting at the first Go board immediately picked up a stone from the box and gently placed it.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Both players moved as fast as lightning, playing seven or eight moves in less than ten seconds.

At this moment, it was Black's turn to move, but the student at the first Go board stopped. They frowned, stared at the board, and began to think.

Seeing this, Wu Shuheng didn't wait. He moved to the next Go board and played a few more moves. Once the opponent started thinking, he moved to the next board.

Before long, Wu Shuheng arrived at Yu Shao's table and picked up a stone from the box to place it.

Tap.

Three columns, four rows, mokuhou.

Yu Shao followed suit immediately, placing his stone.

Sixteen columns, sixteen rows, star point.

Wu Shuheng's expression was calm, and he placed his stones rapidly.

Fourteen columns, seventeen rows, small knight's approach.

The two players exchanged moves rapidly, playing over a dozen moves in quick succession.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

The sound of stones being placed continued.

However, as more stones were placed, the students below quickly noticed something was amiss.

Although the other students had also played quickly in the initial moves, after Wu Shuheng played a few more moves, their opponents had started to fall into thought and stopped placing stones.

But why were you still playing continuously?!

The two players kept placing stones, almost as soon as one finished their move, the other would immediately place their next stone, as if they had already predicted where the opponent would play.

At this moment, after Wu Shuheng finished a move, Yu Shao quickly followed with another swift placement.

Tap.

Fourteen columns, eighteen rows, block!

Seeing this move, Wu Shuheng, who had already picked up a stone and was about to play, froze slightly, his hand holding the stone suspended in mid-air.

"Black actually chose to block, intending to solidify the bottom right corner..."

Wu Shuheng frowned slightly, looking down at the board, lost in thought.

"Should I block and split the black stones, continuing to fight in the bottom right corner, or should I temporarily ignore it and move to the right wing?"

Seeing this, the students below exchanged bewildered glances.

Isn't this backward?

You two played over a dozen moves, but why is Wu Shuheng the one who stopped to think first?!

Just then, the cameraman behind Wu Shuheng couldn't help but whisper, "Teacher Wu, there are still a few more tables."

Wu Shuheng suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing this was a challenge match, not a one-on-one duel.

So, Wu Shuheng looked down at the board again, but didn't continue. He placed the stone back in the box and moved to the next table.

Soon, after a few moves, the student at this table also stopped, falling into a deep contemplation.

Wu Shuheng continued forward, arriving at Xu Ziqin's Go board.

Instantly, all the students' attention focused on this game.

"It's Xu Ziqin's turn!"

"I didn't know Xu Ziqin also played Go."

The students below murmured, all surprised that Xu Ziqin was participating in this challenge match. They hadn't expected her to play Go.

Even her classmates in Class Six didn't know about this.

Tap.

With a crisp sound of a stone being placed, Wu Shuheng laid down a white stone.

Xu Ziqin lowered her gaze to the board, extended her slender, fair hand, picked up a stone from the box, and gently placed it on the board.

Even though it was just a normal move, because the person playing was Xu Ziqin, it inexplicably felt stunning.

"Kill me! Sister, kill me!"

From below the stage, some male beast let out a wretched cry.

"You're in your third year of high school, aren't you? Almost nineteen, and you're calling a sixteen-year-old underclassman 'sister'? Have some shame!"

"Her aura is so killer, especially when she's playing Go, damn!"

"Those beasts in Class Six really deserve to die!"

As everyone knows, there were only two types of people in Class Six, first-year high school: Xu Ziqin and those beasts.

Xu Ziqin and Wu Shuheng took turns placing stones. They both played quickly, and soon they had completed over twenty moves.

The students below the stage were once again stunned, feeling like this scene was all too familiar.

Finally, after a few more moves, when Wu Shuheng placed another black stone, Xu Ziqin didn't immediately play like she had before.

Her delicate brows furrowed, she looked at the board and began to ponder.

"Hoo..."

Seeing this, Wu Shuheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the next table.

Before long, Wu Shuheng had made a round of ten tables and returned to the first one.

The student sitting at the first table, after a long thought, had already placed their stone.

Wu Shuheng merely glanced at the board before immediately picking up a stone from the box and placing it.

That student frowned and also immediately placed a stone.

Soon, after just six moves, the student at the first table was once again deep in thought. Seeing this, Wu Shuheng immediately walked to the next table.

Before long, Wu Shuheng returned to Yu Shao's table.

While playing at the other tables, Wu Shuheng had already figured out how to respond to Black's sealing move. He picked up a stone and immediately placed it.

Clack.

Six columns, seventeen rows, a small knight's move approach.

Facing Black's seal, Wu Shuheng didn't choose to continue the fight in the bottom right corner. Instead, he played a small knight's move approach in the bottom right, deciding to make a decision after new changes appeared on the board.

Yu Shao's expression was calm. He also picked up a stone from the box and placed it again.

Clack!

Three columns, fourteen rows, a small knight's move!

Wu Shuheng also immediately picked up a stone and placed it. The two sides instantly resumed their rapid play, and the sound of stones being placed began to ring out continuously.

Soon, Black and White had played nearly ten more moves.

The area below the stage was silent, and almost everyone was looking at the Go board displayed on the whiteboard with strange expressions.

Wu Zhixuan, sitting in the front row, looked at the game with a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected the boy who asked for her autograph to be such a good Go player.

Most of the students below the stage were merely astonished by how fast Yu Shao was playing. However, Wu Zhixuan, as a professional first dan, could see more from the game.

Wu Zhixuan blinked her bright, expressive eyes and thought with a touch of smugness, "Hmph, my autograph photo must have played a part in this!"

Meanwhile, on the stage.

As stones were continuously placed, Wu Shuheng was already starting to sweat.

"Doesn't he need to think at all?!"

Wu Shuheng found it hard to believe. As the stones fell, the game began to grow increasingly complex, and some moves even required him to think for a moment.

Yet, the underclassman sitting opposite him was still playing at lightning speed, and every move was a good one!

This put immense pressure on Wu Shuheng. He had to play quickly, otherwise, if his opponent made a move and he took a while to think, it would be too embarrassing.

Finally, after Wu Shuheng made another move, Yu Shao stopped placing stones, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hoo—!"

Wu Shuheng let out a long, relieved breath, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked to the next table.

Yu Shao continued to gaze at the board, deep in contemplation.

"On this board, if I play a direct attachment, the opponent's shape is in danger of splitting. If I play a thrust, it could lead to a ko fight..."

"If I play more aggressively, I could even consider extending directly and launching an attack. But a jump also seems like a very good move, which would lead to an offensive in the upper left corner later."

"Or, I could simply ignore it and expand the battlefield?"

Yu Shao was a bit troubled, as there were simply too many viable moves, and each choice was guaranteed to be advantageous, not even requiring deep thought about subsequent variations because it wasn't necessary.

The advantage was so significant that he didn't know how to proceed. What should he do?

Waiting online, it's quite urgent!
