Wu Zhixuan, sitting in the front row, was also full of shock as she saw the black stone's move of "pouncing" on the big screen.
"Here, there's actually a pounce move? But this is completely counter-intuitive play."
She never expected that the guy who asked her for an autographed photo would have such skill. Even as a professional Go player, she hadn't seen this move.
Because this pounce move was too counter-intuitive, it was difficult for ordinary people to think in this direction.
"Are my autographed photos that powerful?"
The energetic girl fell into thought for a moment: "Maybe I should get myself an autographed photo too?"
On stage, Wu Shuheng looked at the Go board, his expression uglier than ever.
After a long while, Wu Shuheng finally picked up a stone and slowly placed it.
Tap.
Eight columns, fourteen rows, capture!
Although extremely reluctant, Wu Shuheng made the most rational choice, picking up the black stone that had pounced into the white formation and placing it in the stone box.
Yu Shao followed closely and immediately placed his stone.
Tap!
The black stone landed, capturing the white stone from the previous Ko fight.
At this point, white could not immediately recapture the black stone and could only choose to resolve the Ko, or, like the previous black stone, look for a Ko threat.
Wu Shuheng did not continue to play but gazed at the board, committing the game to memory.
Afterward, Wu Shuheng walked to the next table without hesitation.
He needed a certain amount of time to think about where to play this move. If it were just a two-player match, he could take his time, but this was a wheel battle.
He still had to play other matches.
Seeing this, the students below looked at each other, and they could all see the shock in each other's eyes.
Although they couldn't fully understand the current game, they knew what it meant for Wu Shuheng to leave without playing.
Across several tables, Wu Shuheng played quickly, and each move was incredibly sharp, leaving no room for mercy.
In these few games, he had already clawed back the advantage from the handicap, and in some games, he had even started to gain the upper hand.
Therefore, even though Wu Shuheng was thinking about the game with Yu Shao in his mind, playing was not difficult.
Not long after, Wu Shuheng arrived at Xu Ziqin's table again.
Seeing the current board, Wu Shuheng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"He's directly attacking the mokuhou, not giving me any chance to breathe..."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Shuheng picked up a stone and placed it again.
Xu Ziqin seemed to have anticipated Wu Shuheng's response. After he played, she immediately placed her stone.
Wu Shuheng's brow furrowed, and he continued to play.
The two players began to place stones back and forth, the situation becoming increasingly tense, and Wu Shuheng's pressure grew.
As the game progressed, the disadvantage of giving two stones not only failed to be leveled but was instead widened. His formation was now at risk of cracking under the pressure of the black stones!
Soon, after more than ten moves, while Xu Ziqin was thinking, Wu Shuheng walked to the next table.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Stones were placed back and forth, and now it was Wu Shuheng who played quickly, while the student opposite him had to think for a long time on each move.
Finally, after forcing himself to play a few more moves...
"I... lose."
The student sitting next to Xu Ziqin looked at the Go board, having already judged the situation. After hesitating for a long time, he finally lowered his head and weakly resigned.
"It's over, so soon?!"
"How long has it been since this started!"
"No, he hasn't even played that many stones yet, and the board isn't even half full. Why so fast? This is ridiculous, is this the skill of a professional Go player?"
"Isn't that person a senior in high school? He represented our school in the high school Go league last year, and he can only last until now?"
"Is he just too weak?"
"Yeah, even facing a professional player, I thought he could at least hold on longer, but who would have thought he would be the first to lose."
The appearance of the first person to resign caused an uproar among the students below, and they all started whispering to each other.
If it were someone else who resigned, it would be one thing, but he had represented Jiangling First High School in the high school Go league last year. Even though he didn't get a good ranking in the end, he should have had some skill.
But facing Wu Shuheng, even with a handicap, losing so quickly was too much!
"Actually, he didn't play badly. You can tell he gave it his all."
Wu Zhixuan blinked her beautiful eyes, gazing at the Go board on the big screen. She made a judgment in her heart: "Logically speaking, he could have held on longer, but it's a shame. My brother didn't hold back at all in this game; he just aimed for a quick victory..."
Wu Zhixuan looked at the student with some worry.
"This must be a huge blow to him, right?"
Wu Shuheng nodded at the high school senior student. Without any intention of comforting or praising him, he directly moved to the next table.
The high school senior student who resigned lowered his head, staring at the Go board. Hearing the whispers from the crowd, he couldn't help but bite his lower lip tightly.
He had clearly given his all!
But even with the handicap stones, he was still crushed by Wu Shuheng, with almost no chance to fight back...
This kind of gap made him feel a strong sense of helplessness.
As the first person resigned, soon, under Wu Shuheng's fierce offensive, a second, then a third followed...
Seeing this scene, the discussions and doubts from the audience quieted down considerably.
If the first person lost so quickly, it could be attributed to his lack of skill. But with two or three more choosing to resign shortly after, it might not be about their skill.
Rather than saying they lacked skill, it was more accurate to say their opponent was too strong!
Soon, Wu Shuheng arrived at Yu Shao's Go table again.
After glancing at the game, Wu Shuheng immediately reached out, picked up a stone, and placed it!
Clack!
On the fourteenth row, fifth column, a cut!
"A cut?"
Yu Shao saw this move and wasn't surprised. He immediately picked up a stone, preparing to place it.
But before Yu Shao could place his stone, Wu Shuheng turned and left, walking to the next table without lingering.
Right now, he only wanted to finish the other games as quickly as possible, and then dedicate all his energy to dealing with the two matches against Yu Shao and Xu Ziqin!
If he had to divide his attention to play other games during these two matches, he could almost predict his outcome—it would inevitably be a crushing defeat!
Especially in the game against Yu Shao, his white stones were already being choked by the black stones. He could only try to find an opportunity to turn the tables!
He had to go all out in these two games!
As a Professional Third Dan player, playing against these high school students whose skill level was at most amateur second or third Dan, even with a two-stone handicap and in a relay match, the gap was almost despairing.
Therefore, under Wu Shuheng's all-out offensive, which could be considered disregarding his status, more and more people chose to resign.
Only three people were left on the stage.
Yu Shao, Xu Ziqin, and another male student from the second year of high school.
