Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 119

"But if Chen Anxia's character is based on Tengen Dozai, then how could Chen Anxia be a Daoist Strategist? I had no idea Tengen Dozai knew about the Daoist Strategist style..."

The owner of the chess club, who was also a member of the Zishui Go Club, had already gone off to play chess on his own.

Therefore, only Harumi Ichikawa noticed Toneri's unusual behavior at the moment.

However, Harumi Ichikawa didn't think much of it, assuming that Toneri was simply surprised by the content of the game.

After a long while, Shiren finally calmed down and returned the chess set to Harumi Ichikawa.

Although Sheren still couldn't figure out the answer, his focus was no longer on that.

The skill Chen Anxia displayed in the game ignited Sheren's passion and fighting spirit, making him eager to play a game against Chen Anxia.

Although Toneri was defeated by Hikaru Shindo, he was actually defeated by Sai Fujiwara.

Therefore, that one failure does not mean anything.

Moreover, Fujiwara no Sai once said that if Toneri and Akira Toya were to play a game, the outcome would be evenly matched, which is enough to show Toneri's skill.

This chess skill is also the source of Sheren's eagerness to play.

Even though Sheren had already sensed Chen Anxia's strength from the game records between Chen Anxia and Touya Akira.

However, Sheren remained confident in himself, believing that the outcome between him and Chen Anxia was evenly matched.

This 50/50 chance of winning is also why Sheren is so eager to get started.

The reason for this is that for a pure chess player like Sheren, what he desires most is to have a full-fledged battle with someone of equal skill.

Clearly, Chen Anxia was able to satisfy the servants.

Without hesitation, the servant walked directly toward the chessboard where the crowd had gathered.

Sheren's height is not considered tall among his peers, let alone when facing a group of players, most of whom are older than him.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would be very difficult for Sheren to get through the crowded throng to the chessboard where Chen Anxia was located in the center of the crowd.

Sheren himself knew this, but he was not bothered by it at all.

Sheren walked to the outermost edge of the crowd and stopped. He then gently patted the shoulder of the player in front of him and said, "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

The player instinctively turned his head to look, his face full of impatience, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to utter some vulgar words.

However, after seeing Sheren's face clearly, the player paused for a moment, then looked incredulous, pointed at Sheren, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Upon seeing this, the attendant grinned and said, "Could you please move aside?"

Instinctively, the player moved aside.

Subsequently, Sheren followed suit, and all the players along the way made way for him.

After all, commotions, exclamations, and discussions had already broken out among the players.

"Why is he here too?"

"No way, could he have received an opportunity mission as well?"

"If it's him, completing this opportunity mission should be quite simple, right?"

"Of course. Although he hasn't taken the professional exam yet and hasn't become a formal professional Go player, he already possesses solid professional Go skills."

"I heard that not long ago, he beat a professional 2-dan player..."

......

The players' commotion naturally caught the attention of Yasutaka Uemura.

Instinctively, Uemura Tairyu looked toward the source of the commotion.

The camera in the live stream, following Yasutaka Uemura's gaze, turned to the source of the commotion.

The viewers in the live stream were also curious and wanted to know who had caused the commotion.

Soon, they spotted the figure of the attendant.

The next moment, the live stream chat room began to stir.

"Oh my god, he came too!?"

"Newbie here, who is he?"

"No way, you don't even know Toneri Jun? He's Toneri Jun's son."

"Jidan Toneri, is that the same Jidan Toneri who holds the Jidan title?"

"I heard that Toneri Jun's Go skills rank second among the younger generation, second only to that little monster from the Yamazaki family."

"There is no doubt about Toshihito Jun's talent in Go. If he had been in the previous era, he would definitely have been a 10-dan player. It's just a pity that he was in the same era as the little monster from the Yamazaki family."

"It's still uncertain whether the Yamazaki family's little ear monster can become the second Dosaku. It's not impossible for Toneri Jun to surpass him."

"It's said that Judan Toneri is about to take that step, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Sigh, some people are destined for greatness from birth. I really envy him for having such a good father!"

......

Chen Anxia also noticed the commotion around her and subconsciously looked over.

Upon looking, Chen Anxia also saw Sheren Zhun.

At the same moment, Sherenjun also turned his gaze to Chen Anxia.

Their eyes met at that moment.

Others may not see or feel it, but for Chen Anxia and Sheren Zhun, at the moment their eyes met, they seemed to see the evolution of infinite chess principles in each other's eyes.

Furthermore, these infinitely evolving principles of chess, under the gazes of those who meet, transform into black and white pieces on the empty space as a chessboard, colliding and clashing.

An invisible tension began to rise at that moment.

It felt like a moment, yet also like three autumns. Chen Anxia withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on the unfinished game of chess in front of him.

However, Chen Anxia's state of mind was still affected, and her emotions fluctuated slightly.

These fluctuating emotions directly affected Chen Anxia's moves in the game.

Chen Anxia now only wants to end the game as soon as possible and have a match with Sheren Zhun, who impressed him.

This caused Chen Anxia's opponent in this game to suddenly realize that the previously deadlocked situation had actually begun to become clear.

Naturally, in this increasingly clear situation, the white pieces I hold are at a disadvantage, and this disadvantage is continuing to widen.

Ultimately, as the game entered the late middle stages, the opponent resigned by sacrificing a piece.

This is the first time in all the games Chen Anxia has played that his opponent has resigned by sacrificing a piece.

This game has now come to an end.

However, the players who were originally waiting did not rush to challenge him this time. Instead, they turned their attention to Shiren Jun and continued to wait.

Under everyone's gaze, Sheren Zhun looked intently at Chen Anxia and said, "Chen Anxia, ​​fight me!"

......

Chapter 178 A tenth-dan Go player, unparalleled in the first fifty moves! (Second update, please subscribe!)

Faced with Sheren Zhun's challenge, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "I'd be more than happy to oblige."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia began to arrange the chessboard.

Sheren Zhun smiled upon seeing this, then sat down opposite Chen Anxia and began arranging the chessboard together.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding spectators and players in the live stream couldn't help but stir up a commotion again, and discussions arose one after another.

"The match between Sheren Zhunzhun and Chen Anxia is really something to look forward to."

"Not long ago, Toneri Junjun lost to the little monster of the Yamazaki family and to the Yamazaki family's Dosaku style. I wonder if Toneri Junjun can win against Chen Anxia's Dosaku style?"

"It goes without saying, the winner of this game is definitely Sheren Junjun."

"That's not necessarily true. Chen Anxia, ​​this game NPC, is too mysterious. Who knows if he has any hidden chess skills?"

"Stop talking, you'll know the outcome of the game soon enough by watching, won't you..."

......

The Go world in the player's world.

Because of Sheren Jun's own fame, coupled with Chen Anxia's current popularity, the news of Sheren Jun challenging Chen Anxia quickly spread throughout the Go community.

The strongest reaction came from the amateur chess player community.

After all, Sheren Jun already possesses the skill level of a professional first dan, which is considered top-tier in the amateur Go world.

The fact that someone with such skill would actively challenge a game NPC is something that makes them very curious.

Out of curiosity, they began to learn about Chen Anxia.

As they learned more about Chen Anxia, ​​they became increasingly interested in him.

Especially after learning that Chen Anxia had already defeated 18 players in a row today, including many players from the academy, they could no longer sit still and flocked to Uemura Tairyu's live stream, wanting to see the battle between Toneri Jun and Chen Anxia.

Besides these amateur players, the news also caused quite a stir in the professional Go community.

The reason for this is that Jun Sheren has already made a name for himself in the professional Go player circle, and not long ago he even defeated a professional 2-dan player head-on.

These professional Go players know that, given Toshihiro's current age and the Go skills he has displayed, he will surely reach the level his father was at in the future, that is, the level of a top-tier Go player.

As for the level of top chess players, that's beyond their comprehension.

As a result, some professional Go players who learned of this news flocked to Uemura Tairyu's live stream, wanting to watch the match between Toshihiro Jun and Chen Anxia.

At the home of Sherenjun.

Jūdan Shōjin also learned of this news. Out of concern for his son, Jūdan Shōjin entered Uemura Tairyū's live stream, wanting to watch his son's battle with Chen Anxia.

The dojo of Yamazaki Honinbo.

Upon learning this news, Nakata Kaoru set off for Yamazaki Honinbo's location.

Although this was just a game between two juniors, Nakata Kaoru believed that Yamazaki Honinbo would definitely be interested in this game, or more accurately, in Chen Anxia.

However, Nakata Kaoru did not expect that after arriving at Yamazaki Honinbo's location, he would see that Yamazaki Honinbo and Yamazaki Sanjiro had been watching Uemura Tairyu's live stream at some point.

At the home of the Rock Island Throne.
