Our Sect Has Produced a Dragon!

Yu Shao quickly arrived in the corridor and stopped in front of Li Kang, calling out, "Teacher Li."

Li Kang nodded slightly, looking at Yu Shao with an indescribable gaze.

It was a complex look, a mixture of shock and joy, then surprise within the joy, and finally, suspicion within the surprise…

Li Kang opened his mouth, hesitated, and then, feigning calmness, asked, "You play Go this well. How long have you been playing?"

When Yu Shao had asked him to sign up for the Go challenge match earlier, he had been very surprised that Yu Shao even knew how to play Go.

However, at that time, Li Kang had only thought Yu Shao might simply know how to play Go, never imagining that Yu Shao could actually defeat Wu Shuheng.

Even though it was a challenge match with a two-stone handicap, Wu Shuheng was still a professional player!

In fact, if other students in the class had volunteered to participate in the challenge match before, he would have very likely not let Yu Shao play, but rather let someone else, even if Yu Shao was the first to sign up.

After all, in his impression, even if Yu Shao knew how to play Go, he didn't seem like someone who could play it well.

It was precisely this stark contrast that made Li Kang's feelings so complicated.

"For a while now."

Yu Shao replied, somewhat confused as to why Li Kang had called him out just to ask these questions.

Li Kang saw Yu Shao's confusion and wanted to explain, but ultimately swallowed his words, simply stating, "Come with me."

With that, Li Kang turned and left.

Yu Shao was stunned for a moment, then, after recovering his senses, immediately followed Li Kang.

Yu Shao initially thought Li Kang was taking him to the classroom office, but he soon realized he was wrong. The classroom office was on this floor, yet Li Kang led him directly down the stairs.

Soon, Li Kang stopped with Yu Shao in front of the principal's office.

"Go in. The principal wants to see you," Li Kang turned to Yu Shao and explained.

"The principal wants to see me?"

Yu Shao blinked, then walked forward and knocked on the principal's office door.

"Enter."

Soon, the principal's voice echoed from inside the office.

Just as Yu Shao was about to push the door open, he noticed Li Kang standing still and asked in confusion, "Teacher Li, aren't you… coming in?"

"The principal wants to see you, not me." Li Kang glanced at Yu Shao and then turned to leave.

Only then did Yu Shao realize that Li Kang was merely the messenger.

"Why does the principal want to see me?" Yu Shao, still puzzled, pushed the door open and walked into the principal's office.

As soon as he entered, Yu Shao saw that in addition to the principal, Xu Ziqin and four other students who had participated in the challenge match were also present.

There was also a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant demeanor standing in the office.

He was likely a teacher at the school. Yu Shao had seen him a few times before but didn't know what subject he taught or which grade he taught, but definitely not the first year.

Upon seeing Yu Shao enter, all eyes in the office immediately focused on him. Even Xu Ziqin turned her head, looked at Yu Shao for a moment, and then withdrew her gaze.

"Ah, it's student Yu," the principal said, his eyes crinkling into a smile as he looked at Yu Shao. "You're finally here. We were all waiting for you."

Waiting for me? Yu Shao still had no idea why the principal wanted to see him and looked at the principal with confusion.

"Heh heh." The principal glanced at Xu Ziqin, then at Yu Shao, and felt inexplicably pleased, his smile widening.

He had originally invited Wu Shuheng back to the school to give a Go lecture with the aim of motivating the students, especially the three students who would soon represent Jiangling First High School in the High School Go League.

He hoped that through this challenge match, these three would feel ashamed and strive for excellence, achieving great results in the upcoming High School Go League.

But he never expected…

That two freshmen this year had both defeated Wu Shuheng in the challenge match!

Their Jiangling First High School had truly struck gold this time!

To put it in the terms of a fantasy novel – their sect had produced a dragon!

The principal said with a smile, "Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."

"Next month, the annual High School Go League will begin. In the past few years, our school's performance has not been very satisfactory."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of one second-year and two third-year students present became somber, and they lowered their heads silently.

Last year, they were the ones who represented Jiangling First High School in the Go League, but the final results… "not very satisfactory" was actually a polite way of putting it.

"And this year, our school is hosting the High School Go League, so I'm hoping for a good result to bring honor to our school."

The principal looked at the three students and said, "And in the previous wheel battles, the abilities of students Yu Shao, Xu Ziqin, and Zhong Yufei were evident to all."

"Of course, you all played very well, but there is still room for improvement. For the collective honor of our school, I want them to represent you and participate in this year's High School Go League. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the three students fell silent.

In fact, when they were called to the principal's office and then saw Xu Ziqin and the others arriving one after another, they had already prepared themselves mentally.

Although the principal was asking for their opinions, they all knew very well that they couldn't refuse.

What else could they do?

If their skills weren't as good, they could only step aside and yield.

However, even so, they still felt a sense of unwillingness.

After all, since the crushing defeat last year, they had all been diligently honing their skills, hoping to redeem themselves this year. But now, they didn't even have the chance to do so?

But, if your skills aren't as good, they aren't as good.

After seeing the two games played by Xu Ziqin and Yu Shao, they also understood clearly how big the gap was between them!

After a moment, a third-year student shook his head and said weakly, "I have no objections."

"I... I don't have any objections either."

"Me neither..."

Seeing that all three had agreed, the principal nodded with satisfaction. He then looked at Yu Shao and the other two, and asked kindly, "These three students, are you willing to participate in this year's Go wheel battles for our school?"

"No problem!"

Zhong Yufei, the second-year male student who had persisted until the end before admitting defeat, immediately agreed without hesitation upon hearing the principal's words. He said, "I promise to go all out and strive to bring back a championship trophy for our school!"

The principal then looked at Xu Ziqin. After a moment of thought, she finally nodded gently.

Finally, the principal looked at Yu Shao with anticipation.

Yu Shao felt immense pressure for a moment.

Everyone else had agreed, and it seemed he couldn't refuse either. Otherwise, if he were branded as someone lacking in collective honor, he probably wouldn't be able to get by in school.

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Yu Shao finally nodded and agreed.

"That's wonderful! I believe you will all achieve great results!"

The principal's mood instantly brightened. He looked at the elegant middle-aged man and introduced him, "This is Teacher Chen Jiaming. He teaches physics to the second-year students and is also an Amateur Fifth Dan Go player."

"From now on, you will go to the activity room to practice Go for two hours every day after school, with Teacher Chen guiding you. I will inform your parents about the situation."
