No Regrets Once a Piece Is Placed! He Knew Nothing of Chess, Only Slaughter
Just now, everyone thought Chen Changqing was just trying to attract attention.
After all, even Half-Step Heavenly Monarch like Bai Wuya, the White-Clad Spear King, couldn't break the Heavenly Question Chess Game.
Chen Changqing, a Spirit Transformation Early Stage, still wanted to step forward and give it a try.
Isn't this overestimating one's own abilities?
But when Chen Changqing announced his name, everyone was stunned.
"What?"
"He... he is Chen Changqing?"
How is that possible?
"Chen Changqing, who topped the Azure Dragon Ranking released by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"
"At the initial stage of Avatar?"
"How long has it been? He's already advanced from the Purple Mansion Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm? This cultivation speed is simply insane!"
"It was him!!"
"..."
Amidst the shock, the numerous Cultivators were filled with astonishment.
No one expected that this person, whom they considered overconfident, was actually Chen Changqing, ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking.
Besides, what they found even more incredible was...
Chen Changqing's cultivation had actually reached the Spirit Transformation.
It's important to know that there are two conditions for being listed on the Azure Dragon Ranking: age and cultivation level.
To be listed on the Azure Dragon Ranking, one must be very young.
Besides, the Azure Dragon Ranking only ranks Nascent Soul Realm below the Nascent Soul Realm.
Those who can make it onto the Azure Dragon Ranking are all capable of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Not long after the last Azure Dragon Ranking was released, Chen Changqing topped the Azure Dragon Ranking, his name spreading throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent.
At that time, Chen Changqing was only at the Purple Mansion Realm.
However, his cultivation level has now broken through to the Spirit Transformation Early Stage.
This cultivation speed is nothing short of monstrous!
"I never expected it to be this kid!"
"With his talent and aptitude, wouldn't he be on the True Dragon Ranking when the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion releases its results next time?"
"The True Dragon Ranking? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
I think it's possible!
"..."
Shocked, the Cultivators began discussing the True Dragon Ranking.
This True Dragon Ranking is also compiled by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Cultivator makes it onto the True Dragon Ranking is someone with a very high chance of reaching the Heavenly Monarch level.
He can be considered a truly peerless genius!
Of course, some people think Chen Changqing deserves to be on the Azure Dragon Ranking, while others think he doesn't.
Just as everyone was shocked by Chen Changqing's identity, a Cultivator suddenly exclaimed:
"Chen Changqing just called the White-Clad Spear King... his martial uncle?"
These words immediately stirred up a huge controversy.
Everyone remembered that Chen Changqing had just bowed deeply to the White-Clad Spear King and addressed him as "Uncle-Master".
"Holy crap!"
"The White-Clad Spear King is actually from Mount Shu?"
"Chen Changqing calls him 'Shishu'?"
"Doesn't this mean that the White-Clad Spear King and the Sect Master the Mount Shu Sect are of the same generation?"
"Mount Shu truly deserves its reputation as one of the Orthodox Ten Great Sacred Lands!"
"Not only did they produce a White-Clad Spear King, but they also have a little monster like Chen Changqing!"
"Mount Shu truly produces dragons!"
"..."
In an instant, the crowd erupted in even greater excitement.
They naturally knew about the White-Clad Spear King, but only that he was ranked among the top fifty on the Nine Provinces Continent's Powerhouse Ranking.
Few people know about the background of the White-Clad Spear King.
Now, Chen Changqing's address of "Uncle-Master" has revealed the origins of the White-Clad Spear King.
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Chen Changqing looked apologetically at Bai Wuya, who was floating in the void.
Bai Wuya remained indifferent to this, not caring at all.
What he was more curious about was whether Chen Changqing could break the Heavenly Question Chess Game.
After all, he hadn't been able to break it even with his previous attack.
They could also see that the Heavenly Question Chess Game of the Old Man Heavenly Question was indeed unparalleled in its mystery.
At the same time, Xiaoqian was filled with anticipation upon seeing this.
"Young master... can he break this Heavenly Question Chess Game?"
Just as everyone was in shock, Chen Changqing turned his gaze and looked at the Green-Robed Elder.
At this moment, the Green-Robed Elder also sized up Chen Changqing.
I never expected that this young man would have such a background.
He had naturally heard of Chen Changqing's reputation.
To his slight surprise, the White-Clad Spear King and Chen Changqing actually had such a relationship.
"This kid is a good candidate."
"His age and talent are both quite good."
"I just don't know... whether he can break this chess game."
"If he can't break it, it can only mean that he is not destined to be with his master."
After a moment's thought, the Green-Robed Elder came to his senses and smiled at Chen Changqing, saying:
"Since you wish to give it a try, young friend, please step forward!"
"Please!"
Upon hearing what the Green-Robed Elder said, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and went straight forward to sit down on one side of the huge Go Board.
Seeing Chen Changqing take his seat, the Green-Robed Elder followed suit.
As before, Chen Changqing will play black first.
What puzzled everyone was...
After Chen Changqing took his seat, he did not pick up a game of chess for a long time.
After waiting for quite some time, Chen Changqing still did not make any move.
What's going on?
Why isn't he making a move?
"This is a game of chess! Not just sitting there doing nothing!"
What's going on?
"..."
The onlookers, seeing this, grew somewhat impatient.
At the same time, the Green-Robed Elder also looked surprised upon seeing this, and uttered a soft question:
"Young friend."
"You can begin."
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Changqing smiled calmly, looked back at the old man, and said:
"Senior, to be honest, I'm actually not very good at chess."
Chen Changqing wasn't lying; he didn't understand chess at all.
The old man was stunned the moment Chen Changqing uttered those words.
The many Cultivators present were also dumbfounded.
"What?"
"No... you're not good at chess?"
"He still dares to go up and play a game?"
"You're wasting everyone's time!"
"That's not entirely true. The Heavenly Question Chess Game isn't solely about skill level!"
"That's right. Even with unparalleled chess skills, one might not be able to solve this game."
"It's a game of chess, after all. If you're not good at it, how can you break the deadlock?"
"..."
Just as everyone was discussing this, the Green-Robed Elder smiled bitterly, then calmed down and said with a smile:
"Young friend."
"It's okay if you're not good at it, just keep trying!"
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Changqing nodded, and without hesitation, he took a black piece from the huge Go Piece Jar.
Without much thought, he placed the black piece on the Go Board.
Because Chen Changqing didn't understand chess.
This completely disregards all chess principles, patterns, and openings.
Seeing Chen Changqing place a black piece, the Green-Robed Elder smiled faintly, and with a flick of his sleeve, placed a white piece on the Go Board.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing almost without thinking, took out another black piece and placed it down.
What's truly astonishing is...
Chen Changqing's moves were all about killing!
As the black stones continued to fall, each one seemed to Avatar into a tireless and fearless army of iron and blood.
From the very first move, they launched the most frenzied attack!
They do not focus on occupying key points or establishing spheres of influence.
Even disregarding the weaknesses and flaws in their own formation, they had only one goal in mind: to annihilate all the white stones!
