The man in black announced that Zhu Lun of Xifeng Academy had failed to break the game. There was a burst of excitement in the venue, and even the women of Qionglin Academy started talking in low voices.
Some people even felt that this chess match was really a bit of a joke. They thought that since chess skills were to be competed, although it couldn't be too simple, it shouldn't be so complicated either. They found ancient endgames to let the contestants break the game.
It was a good time. Of the nine major academies that participated in the competition, all the disciples from the eight major academies were defeated. Although it was stipulated that all the disciples from the major academies participating in the competition could break the game, all the really powerful chess players were defeated. So what happened to the rest? I had the nerve to step forward and break the situation.
Most people didn't dare to step forward. Although a few people wanted to give it a try, they also understood that it would be fine if they succeeded in the challenge, but once they failed, they would be considered pushy by everyone and would also be criticized. Ridiculously, literati attach great importance to reputation. The literati present come from all over Dachu. Once the defeat is spread by this group of people, the reputation will be ruined.
Although Qionglin Academy has not yet gone into battle, the eight major academies have already been defeated. Many people feel that Qionglin Academy should be aware of this situation and cannot send people up again.
Although Xue Danqing also felt that there was no need for Qionglin Academy to continue to appear, Zhuo Qingyang was at the scene. He always had to take Zhuo Qingyang's face into consideration, so he asked Qining: "The eight major academies can't break the situation. I wonder if Qionglin Academy can Want to go out and break the game? If we give up, that's fine, we can immediately start the third game."
In fact, what he said was very clear. He told Qionglin Academy directly that even the eight major academies could not break the situation. You, Qionglin Academy, do not need to waste time and give up voluntarily.
Qi Ning really didn't have much confidence in this game, but Xue Danqing's words still brought a hint of prejudice against Qionglin Academy. He frowned slightly and said: "Xiao Yao, Qin Yi, you two come up with me. Look, if we don’t even give it a try and just give up, others will look down on us even more.”
Xiaoyao and Qin Yi glanced at each other. Although they knew in their hearts that the possibility of breaking the situation was slim, they both nodded slightly when they saw the encouragement in Qining's eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone, the three people left the table and walked to the chess game.
Qining led Xiaoyao and Su Zixuan to impress everyone in the first game. Although many people felt that Qionglin Academy still had some tricks, the idea that men were superior to women was deeply ingrained, and it did not really have much impact on Qionglin Academy. On second thought, when I saw Qi Ning and the two girls walking to the chessboard, I felt funny in my heart. I thought to myself that even the eight major academies couldn't break the game, so how could the mere Qionglin Academy do it.
Qi Ning put his hands behind his back and looked at the chessboard. There were about eighty or ninety black and white stones on the chessboard. They were intertwined and seemed quite scattered, but the two sides were clearly constraining each other. His knowledge of chess was limited, and he could only tell that This chess game is a bit complicated, but I can't tell where it is.
Xiao Yao and Qin Yi stood beside Qi Ning, one on the left and the other on the right, both looking attentively. At first, their expressions were calm. After a short while, Qin Yi frowned, and Xiao Yao soon showed his expression. She looked distressed, and after a while, Qin Ning heard Qin Yi murmur: "No, that... that is also a dead end, but... well, this is not possible either...!" Her expression was unusually complicated, between her eyebrows Even showing signs of pain.
Although Qi Ning only has a superficial understanding of chess, he knows very well that if you have limited knowledge of an ancient game like this, that's fine. But the more you delve deeper and study every move carefully, the more you will understand. The deeper you get stuck, and once the chess game becomes complicated, your whole head will become dizzy, and it will be confusing and painful.
Qi Ning knew that the first few moves of the endgame might be peaceful, but the later moves would become unpredictable and extremely complex. Players could count the next moves in the game, and the more skillful they were, the more moves they could count. The more you do, the more your brain will fall into a state of confusion.
Xiaoyao and Qin Yi may be really good at chess, but after all, they are still young. Faced with such a complicated endgame, it is obviously difficult to crack it. They thought that anyway, none of the eight academies have broken the game. Even if they think they can't break the game, the nine academies are in this game. At best, it was a tie.
He was worried that it would be bad for Xiaoyao and Qin Yi's health to continue thinking about it, so he was about to give up after birth. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice penetrate his ears: "It's a child's play, why bother thinking about it, I'll teach you how to break it!"
The sound came extremely suddenly. Qining's body trembled. He looked around and saw Xiaoyao and Qin Yi still staring at the chessboard. The man in black was still standing with his hands down. Everyone around was staring at this, but not Know exactly where that sound is coming from.
Qi Ning picked out his ears with one finger, wondering if he was hearing hallucinations? Otherwise, someone was talking to him, but the people around him didn't seem to notice.
"No need to look around." The voice penetrated into the ears again, very soft, and Qi Ning heard it clearly: "Take the white piece, get down, three or six ways!"
Qi Ning was surprised and frowned. The voice was very soft. Although he could hear it clearly, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. He wondered why such a voice suddenly appeared. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly walked up. In front of him, he picked up a white stone in his hand. This action surprised everyone.
Qin Yi and Xiao Yao originally wanted to win glory for Qionglin Academy and tried their best to think of ways to break the situation, but the more they thought about it, the more complicated it became. Thinking about the future, they even felt at a loss, but they were extremely anxious in their hearts, not wanting Qi Ning to Disappointed, but unexpectedly Qi Ning suddenly stepped forward and picked up the chess piece.
The two looked at each other and were startled for a moment, but saw that Qining had pressed the white letter in his hand down to the 36th road.
As soon as the chess piece was pressed up, it stuck to the chessboard for some unknown reason.
When the man in black saw Qi Ning's move, he immediately bowed his hand to Qi Ning. Qin Ning returned the favor. The man in black didn't say much, picked up a sunspot and quickly dropped it.
Qi Ning saw the man in black making a move, and was thinking about how to make a move next, when the voice came to his ears: "Get down, Sanjiu Road!"
Qi Ning pretended to be calm, holding the chess piece, but he couldn't help but glance around. He was very surprised. The only people looking around him were these people. The sound was obviously not made by these people, but seemed to be watching the battle. It came from nearly a thousand people, and it was so densely packed that it was impossible to tell where it came from.
If it really came from the crowd, how come only you could hear it? Xiaoyao, Qin Yi, and even the man in black obviously didn't notice at all.
Qi Ning was shocked, and suddenly thought in his heart, could it be that someone transmitted the message into the secret
He naturally also knows that there is a skill in the world that can transmit sound into the ears without being noticed by others, and only let the people who hear it hear it. However, to practice such a skill, the martial arts must be extremely high, and the internal strength must be extremely deep, and this The martial art is extremely mysterious and Qi Ning has never been exposed to it before.
But at this moment, the other party was obviously using the skill of transmitting sounds into secrets.
He instantly looked at the Divine Waiter Ximen Wuhen. When it comes to martial arts, there were nearly a thousand people in the venue. I am afraid that no one could be better than Ximen Wuhen in martial arts. There is no similarity, but since you can use the skill of transmitting sound into the secret, it may not be impossible to change the sound.
Ximen Wuhen didn't pay attention at this time. Instead, he leaned close to Yuan Ning'an's ear. The two seemed to be talking about something.
If Ximen Wuhen was talking to Yuan Ning'an, of course he couldn't be talking to himself at the same time
Qi Ning followed the voice and placed the chess piece in his hand on the 39th route.
The man in black still didn't hesitate this time and made a quick move.
But the sound came continuously. Every time after the man in black made a move, almost within a few seconds, the man told Qining the position of the next move. Qining followed the man's instructions to make the move. It only took a moment. , more than twenty pieces have been left behind.
He suddenly realized that since the opponent could guide him to play chess, he obviously had a clear view of the current chess situation. He was facing north and south, while the judges' bench was facing north and south, which was exactly the opposite direction to his. If the people watching from the north have excellent eyesight, they can actually see the current situation on the chessboard. It is impossible for Ximen Wuhen to see what is happening on the chessboard at this time. Unless Ximen Wuhen has clairvoyance, he will never say anything. Guidance.
Thinking of this, Qining knew that right behind him, someone must be playing the chess game while using sound transmission to give instructions.
The other party can transmit sounds into secrets, so his martial arts skills are naturally excellent, but in addition, this person's chess skills must be extremely good. Otherwise, how can that person break the chess game that cannot be broken by the eight academies
The man's voice was soft, but his tone was relaxed. Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to care much about this ancient situation.
After playing more than ten words in a row, Qining knew only a little about chess. At this time, he had no idea who had the upper hand. He only saw black and white on the chessboard, which looked quite complicated.
The man in black, on the other hand, used to make moves very quickly, but now, after every move Qi Ning makes, he has to think for a while and finally makes the move with great difficulty.
Next, Qi Ning moved very fast, but the man in black moved slower and slower. Everyone saw it and felt that something had changed. At this time, Yuan Ning'an, the Minister of Rites, and other people came over from the judges' table. They all stood behind Qi Ning to watch the battle. Seeing that these people were blocking the back, Qi Ning was a little worried about blocking the expert's view. Fortunately, the sound still came, and Qi Ning was relieved.
When Yuan Ning'an saw the chess game, surprise appeared on his old face.
The man in black who was playing chess with Qi Ning had sweat on his forehead, and his expression was no longer as calm as before. Although he tried his best to stay calm, there was obviously a look of nervousness and panic between his eyebrows. Qi Ning followed the instructions of the expert. , a piece fell from the upper position, and the man in black was shaken all over. Yuan Ning'an actually cried out "Ouch" and lost his voice: "This... this... this is broken!"
