"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
The Five Elements Fusion Method involved in the chess game is not only profound, but also very broad. It is impossible to break the game in a short period of time. Yang Qi can only feel the situation of the chess game while combining his own understanding of the Five Elements Fusion Method to begin to deduce how to break the game.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Yang Qi, who was currently deducing, suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of joy on his face. He had already deduced a way to break the impasse.
"As a son?"
Just when Yang Qi was about to activate the power of the Five Elements Fusion to make his move, he discovered that after activating the Five Elements Fusion, his body seemed to have turned into a chess piece. How could he not understand that he was being asked to use his body as a chess piece!
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed, and he came directly to the position where he was ready to make his move, and the power of the Five Elements Fusion that he activated burst out.
Boom!
As the might of the Five Elements Fusion Dao that Yang Qi had activated exploded, the entire space began to disintegrate, the heaven and earth shattered, the stars disappeared, and the huge chessboard disappeared in an instant. However, just as everything disappeared, a new chess game appeared again.
"Sure enough, it's not over so easily." Looking at the new chess game, Yang Qi was not too surprised. Although he felt some difficulty in the first game, it was more of a confusion from his first encounter with a chess game. After he understood it, the deduction process was not that difficult.
If this test was only this difficult, Yang Qi could be sure that the eight practitioners who had been in front of the stone tablet before could easily pass this test.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi's expression could not help but condense, and he secretly said in his heart, "The real test has just begun."
Yang Qi quickly gathered his mind, continued to feel the chess game, and deduced a way to break it. This time, the chess game seemed to be a little more difficult than the previous one, and involved more aspects. After spending the same amount of time as the first game, Yang Qi finally cracked the second game. You know, the first game would definitely take more time because he was not familiar with it. If the second game was of the same difficulty, it would definitely take less time.
However, the second game took almost the same amount of time as the first, which means that the second game was obviously more difficult than the first!
"Soul and understanding!" A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. At this moment, he once again experienced the soul and understanding mentioned by Emperor Wu Shi.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi didn't think any more and immersed himself in cracking the chess game. Just as he expected, the further into the game progressed, the more difficult it became to crack and the longer it would take.
Even with Yang Qi's soul strength and comprehension, it became a bit difficult to deduce, and he could only rely on a lot of time accumulation to crack the chess game.
"Ninth inning!"
Yang Qi mobilized the power of the Five Elements Fusion Method, and the entire world disappeared again, and a new chess game emerged.
"besides?"
Looking at the new chess game, Yang Qi showed a bitter smile on his face. He had spent countless energy and time to crack the ninth game. If it were not for this space where he would not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, if he were in the outside world, he would probably have given up if he had broken through the ninth game all at once.
He thought that he had finished the game after solving the ninth one, but he didn't expect that there were more games to come. Obviously, this test might be to see how many games the practitioner can solve within the specified time and how much he can understand from the games.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi could only feel the chess game again and continue to deduce it. However, just after he deduced for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"This round..."
Yang Qi looked at the starry sky chessboard in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Is the difficulty of this game so much lower than the ninth game?"
Although he had not yet figured out a way to break the game, after only a few moments of deduction, Yang Qi had already found a clue to break the game. If he continued to deduce like this, he would probably be able to break the game soon. According to his previous guess, the later the game progressed, the harder it would be to break the game. However, the difficulty of the tenth game was obviously much lower than that of the ninth game.
"Coincidence or..."
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he was not sure. He had to calm down and continue to deduce.
One chess game after another was solved, and new games appeared again. Just like before, the difficulty of the games continued to increase until Yang Qi cracked the eighteenth game.
Yang Qi, who had just tried to deduce and crack the 19th game, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, the difficulty of the 19th game has been reduced!"
After the previous eighteen games, Yang Qi already had some guesses about the difficulty of the game. Every nine games constitute a cycle, and the difficulty increases continuously, rather than increasing along with the game itself.
The chess game tests what the practitioner is best at and what he has already realized. The practitioner does not need to realize the truth in this process. What is needed is that the practitioner has a strong understanding and spiritual support to crack the chess game, and to have a more detailed control and application of the truth he has already realized.
Yang Qi, who was born with a powerful soul and practiced the Source God Canon, was obviously more advantageous in this regard. He was faster in deducing a breakthrough and had a more meticulous control and application of the Five Elements Fusion Method that he had already realized.
Although every nine games constitute a cycle, the difficulty of the subsequent cycles is obviously greater than the beginning. After more than twenty games, Yang Qi's speed in deducing a solution has dropped significantly.
Especially when it came to the third cycle, the last game, which was the 27th game, Yang Qi spent a long time deducing but still couldn't find a way to crack it.
“This is a threshold!”
Yang Qi's expression condensed, and he immersed himself in the deduction wholeheartedly, because he knew very well that as long as he crossed this threshold, the next few games of chess would be relatively easier to crack.
This went on for who knows how long. In this space, there was no concept of time and space at all. But Yang Qi knew that the time he spent was longer than the ninth and eighteenth games combined.
During the entire deduction process, Yang Qi did not miss even the most subtle aspects, and finally, after an unknown amount of time, he successfully deduced a way to break the impasse.
“Finally cracked it!”
Looking at the shattered chess game, a smile appeared on Yang Qi's face. He had not been practicing for a long time, but this was definitely the first time he had experienced such a long period of hard practice.
Looking at the chess game that appeared again, Yang Qi's expression condensed, and he sighed slightly, "But it's not the last time."
"Huh?"
But the next moment, Yang Qi suddenly let out a light exclamation. Although he had not yet started to deduce a solution, he keenly sensed that this game seemed to be different from the previous 27 games.
"origin!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in Yang Qi's eyes. Before in the chess game, he only felt the power of the Five Elements Fusion, but now, he felt a trace of the breath of origin.
