A Sword Through the Nine Heavens

Chapter 413: Use retreat to advance

Views:

In the endgame at this moment, white stones occupy more eyes than black stones. The formation formed by white stones is orderly and invincible, while the formation of black stones is more like demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, which is precarious.

“Try this place!”

Muyu planned to launch an attack. He had been deducing it in his mind for so long, so he had to at least give it a try. As soon as he thought about it, the huge chess piece behind him had already risen into the air and headed towards the position he wanted. The black piece fell into the chessboard, causing countless splashes, but it did not disturb any chess pieces.

Then a white stone was forced to sink into the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

The chess soul smiled softly, shook his head and said: "You take away the white piece on my side, but I will destroy your subsequent formation."

The white piece hit the chessboard from behind the chess soul, causing a huge wave and destroying Mu Yu's formation again. Bai Zi came with great force, and Mu Yu was still caught off guard when he tried to break out from the side.

"Then, let's go here." Mu Yu's mouth went dry for a while. He actually felt very unsure when playing chess, because he was facing the soul of chess, a Go master Alpha Gou, and he was a chess player. A novice who is just cramming has no chance of winning.

As soon as he landed the black piece, he noticed something was wrong. This move exposed his gap more clearly.

Sure enough, after only two rounds, there was a sudden strong wind on the sea, and ferocious sharks emerged from the bottom of the sea, biting Mu Yu's three sunspots, and dragged them into the bottom of the sea!

"If you keep going, you will have nowhere to go." Qihun said calmly.

The chess spirit was so powerful that Mu Yu couldn't breathe. This is not the first time that he has used what he is not good at to compete with others. When he was in the Aland Cauldron Sect for a spot in the Second Heaven, he did not know how to make alchemy at all, so he rushed to compete with a lot of alchemy sects. Genius disciples competed for a spot, but in the end, the shameless old man who kept the pavilion deliberately changed the rules for the sake of the half-complete pill, and he was lucky enough to win.

But here, he has no luck at all. If he wins, he wins, if he loses, he loses. If he makes one mistake, he loses everything. There is no special halo.

"Can I do it again?" Mu Yu asked.

The chess soul waved his hand, and the entire chess game returned to its original position. But Mu Yu's whole body sank suddenly, and he found that the coral reef he was on began to fall two feet.

"When you sink to the bottom of the sea, you have no chance and can only come back next time." Qi Soul said, and then reminded him kindly, "Sink to the bottom of the sea, and those sharks will bite you to death, and you will feel the pain of death firsthand. of."

Mu Yu shuddered, damn it! What the hell is this place where you have to be killed by a shark if you want to get out

He thought again for a long time, and finally made the move again! I want to break through from the other side and kill a white piece. But the chess spirit took action again and defeated Mu Yu!

The third time, the fourth time...

Mu Yu realized that if he failed three more times, he would sink to the bottom of the sea. The chess soul seemed to have calculated the position of his moves long ago, and defeated Mu Yu effortlessly every time.

"There must be something wrong! If only Master or Father Kumu had taught me how to play chess." Mu Yu was getting more and more irritated. He always wanted to save Kuroko and break out, but the more he did this, the more he became frustrated. fail.

Playing chess is like setting up a formation. Feng Haochen didn't teach him the formation knowledge, but Kumu taught him a lot of formation knowledge. The problem is that this formation is too difficult for Mu Yu to understand.

The reason why the endgame is called the endgame is that there must be a glimmer of hope. Where is this hope

Mu Yu thought carefully, but his thoughts were brought back to the dead wood valley. At that time, Ku Mu had just captured him from Fuxian Island and confined him in the valley.

"Old man, your formation has killed so many people, don't you feel at ease when you sleep at night?" At that time, Mu Yu was still very young, and he naively thought that dead wood looked like him and looked very evil.

Kumu glanced at Mu Yu. Just now Mu Yu had angered him again, and now he was hanging upside down in the air, swinging.

"Everything should be done with a grain of salt. I have made the formations so simple, but they still can't pass, so why should they ask me to do something? And why should I accept them as my disciples? What does their death have to do with me? If you don't have the ability, you shouldn't overestimate your capabilities!" Kumu said.

"Everything should be done with a grain of salt, I didn't see you leaving any hints!" Mu Yu became more honest after being hung up by the dead wood a few times. Knowing that it was useless to struggle, he simply folded his arms and looked down.

"If I hadn't left an antidote grass on the edge of the poisonous mist, would others be able to get in? If I hadn't left that living vine, do you think you could get out of the mirror formation with your little cleverness? Do you think I'm very smart? Do you want others to die in my valley? What has become of my place? A cemetery? Those people who died are all because of my absence. If I were here, I would see those guys who overestimate their capabilities and throw them out. , so as not to look bad." Kumu said angrily.

Mu Yu clicked his tongue. He really didn't know this. When he passed through the poisonous fog, he didn't rely on the antidote grass to get in. He knew that he wrongly blamed the dead tree, but he still asked: "Where is the Heavenly Demonic Tree? You didn't even give any hint to the Heavenly Demonic Tree!"

"If you don't hurt the Sky Demon Tree, will it attack you? If you want to get through the angry Sky Demon Tree, you must learn to retreat in order to advance, and not aim at hurting the Sky Demon Tree. Only then can you pick the Sky Demon Fruit. When everyone sees the Sky Demon Tree, they can't wait to pick the Sky Demon Fruit. He deserves to be eaten by the Sky Demon Fruit!" Kumu snorted coldly.

Retreat to advance? Use retreat to advance!

A flash of lightning flashed across Mu Yu's mind, and the chess game in his eyes suddenly became clear. When I saw the Sky Demon Tree in the valley, it was full of fruits. The purpose of everyone coming here was to pick the Sky Demon Fruit, so everyone would do it directly, and therefore they would be attracted by the Sky Demon Fruit. They were beaten and fled in embarrassment.

This is a kind of qualitative thinking. If you want to get something, you will definitely act in accordance with conventional methods.

Just like this chess game, when most people see the chess game, they will think: the black stone has been captured by the white stone and is in danger. If you want to win, you must not lose any more black stones, so the first thought is to find ways to attack the white stone. Launch an attack.

But no matter where you start, you will be chased and intercepted by Bai Zi, and you will lose miserably. This is simply not feasible.

If you want to win, you must make progress by retreating, know the trade-offs, and gain by losing!

Mu Yu overturned all the solutions he had found in the past few days and began to review the chess game again. The formation of Heizi was like a pile of loose sand, surrounded by Bai Zi, who was suffocating and had reached the point where it was difficult to move forward. White's formation seems to be magnificent, but in fact, because Black's formation is dispersed, White's formation is also indirectly divided.

Bai Zi wants to destroy Heizi in one go, but all that means he will be exhausted again. As long as Bai Zi is tempted to use his momentum in unimportant places, then it will be a great opportunity for Heizi to fight back!

Mu Yu's eyes were no longer obsessed with the existing formation. He had been thinking about expanding the formation, so he was determined not to let Bai Zi eat Kuroko again. But no matter where it comes from, it will be broken by Bai Zi, and this is what troubles him. There are already few black stones, so how can we let white stones eat more

But often if you want something to succeed, you need to do the opposite. At this time, the best way should be to abandon some of the unimportant black stones, and start from the overall situation, guide the offensive momentum of white stones to one side, and start It plays the role of abandoning the car to save the handsome man.

When you are at a disadvantage, you have to cut off an arm. Very few people dare to try this, but in battle it is often impossible to kill the enemy without paying a price!

Mu Yu's eyes quickly locked onto a formation. It could be said that this was the only winning spot in this endgame.

"Have you decided on your move?" Chess Soul looked at Mu Yu calmly.

A sudden thought occurred in Mu Yu's heart. He suddenly thought that all the chess skills he learned came from the chess spirit. The chess spirit skills were so superb. Could he not have thought of this move? What if he doesn't fall for it

"No, no, if I land the black one here, the white one will definitely choose to intercept it for its own benefit. If it doesn't go here, it's equivalent to giving me a step, and then it won't be able to restrict my formation!"

Mu Yu's eyes narrowed, he turned his head and glanced behind him, and a huge sunspot fell behind him. As soon as his thoughts came to his mind, Heizi had already fallen towards the position Mu Yu thought of. The sunspot fell on the sea, causing huge waves, but all the chess pieces remained motionless.

"It's your turn!" Mu Yu said nervously.

He does not have the advanced chess skills of Qi Soul. With Qi Soul's ability, he will definitely be able to deduce the subsequent development. Muyu's move is equivalent to a desperate move!

The chess soul didn't make a move. He looked at Mu Yu and said, "If you make this move, it means that three black stones will be taken away by me. With your current formation, I'm afraid you can no longer withstand losses, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to give it a try!" Muyu clenched his fists. He was still a novice. At most, he could only deduce the next few steps. He had no confidence at all in the development of the endgame.

"Why did you take this step?" Qihun continued to ask.

"Retreat to advance. If I don't lose something, I have no chance at all!" Mu Yu sighed, thinking that he couldn't defeat the chess spirit anyway, so there was nothing to hide.

"Then if I continue to besiege this place, you will lose three more, right?" The chess soul smiled, but made no moves. He just pointed at a certain location, and a white light appeared on the chessboard.

Mu Yu had known this result for a long time. As soon as an idea came to his mind, a black light appeared in another direction.

"If you play here, I will eat three more of your black stones. If you take the next step, you will lose nearly half of your black stones. Can you really afford it?" Chess Spirit said with a smile.

Mu Yu sighed, surely this won't work

But something was wrong. He deduced it carefully. If half of it was lost, his formation would become more compact. At this time, Bai Zi had countless flaws. And at that time, my own sunspot will be like a fish in water and regain the lost ground!

"That's right! That's right! That's it, only in this way can I win!" Muyu shouted happily, "Hurry up, hurry up, I feel like I can win!"

But the chess soul didn't move at all, he just looked at Mu Yu.

"Hurry!" Mu Yu urged.

"No need, when you choose to retreat in order to advance, you have already solved the endgame. How many people have tried this endgame but are still unwilling to let themselves lose, you are one of the few." Chess Soul smiled, "Moreover, you are the fastest person to crack the chess formation. What is even more valuable is that you are a person who has just learned to play chess. Being able to do this is already considered quite good."

Hearty laughter resounded throughout the sea, and countless sharks suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, swallowing up all the chess pieces. Then Mu Yu's mind shook, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Muyu opened his eyes suddenly, glanced at everyone in the advancement hall, and found that everyone was already looking at him. Mu Yu shrugged his shoulders and paid no attention to them.

He secretly reviewed the way he broke the formation just now, and found that this formation monument was not a test of how superb the formation skills were, but whether the way of thinking could break the rules and dare to try unusual paths.

Xiantian disciples are not required to master how many formations, but they must know how to adapt and make choices about a formation.

Mu Yu's hand left the formation monument, and then slowly walked outside.

"Did he succeed?" Zhao Lianggong asked in surprise.

"Of course it failed. The formation monument hasn't been broken yet! Do you really think this innate disciple is that good?" Luo Feilong snorted coldly.

However, as soon as Luo Feilong finished speaking, the formation monument behind Mu Yu collapsed!
