Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 24

In the world of Go, there is actually no such thing as a divine move.

However, these top chess players could probably guess what the so-called "God's Finger" was referring to.

It is generally a brilliant move inspired by inspiration, which is what is called "tesuji" in Go.

Although they could guess it, these top chess players were immediately puzzled by it.

Because tesuji, like goji enlightenment, is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. Meijin Touya should be very clear about this, so why would Meijin Touya still pursue it?

Could it be that this divine hand is different from the shinjutsu?

Could it be that this divine hand is a state of being? A state of being where one can perform a grappling move at will?

But how could such a state possibly exist?

Because such a realm is already the domain of gods.

Perhaps only the legendary god of Go could reach such a level and be able to make tactical moves at will.

Regardless, these top players have become completely interested in the "Hikaru no Go" game and the Go world in which Meijin Touya resides.

After some time, once players have explored the game more comprehensively, they will choose to enter the game.

After all, they don't have extra time to waste on exploring games.

The reason they wanted to enter the game was simply to play against the top players in the "Hikaru no Go" game.

Therefore, now is not the right time.

……

The world of Hikaru no Go.

Chen Anxia discovered that whenever he immersed himself in the principles of chess, his mental energy would be depleted very quickly.

During the two-hour game, Chen Anxia was almost completely absorbed in the principles of chess.

This left Chen Anxia feeling extremely exhausted, so she immediately returned home to sleep.

Chen Anxia was now basically certain that Uemura Tairyu was the player he had suspected.

Furthermore, Chen Anxia also verified that he could indeed actively guide players to trigger quests through himself.

Chen Anxia was able to be certain because the result of his game against Fujii was exactly what he had hoped for: White won by five and a half points.

This unusual result, coupled with the voice that appeared in his mind, was the reason Chen Anxia was able to confirm.

Meanwhile, another hypothesis of Chen Anxia was also basically verified.

In other words, the chess principles that remain in one's mind after the voice appears in one's mind should be the chess principles that the player possesses.

This phenomenon can be understood as a result of Chen Anxia's abilities.

And this is precisely the ability that Chen Anxia needs most.

Chen Anxia believes that with this ability, he will be able to complete world missions in the future, even without relying on the power of players.

Because, faced with this ability, no matter how high Akira Touya and Hikaru Shindo's Go talent is, no matter how strong Meijin Touya and Sai Fujiwara are, Chen Anxia has nothing to fear and no need to fear.

After all, no matter how strong an individual's talent and chess skills are, they are still just that—an individual.

Chen Anxia, ​​who possesses this ability, has the knowledge of Go from another world.

When comparing an individual's accumulated knowledge and resources with the world's accumulated knowledge and resources, the answer is already quite clear.

Perhaps, very soon, the world of Go will usher in an era belonging to Chen Anxia…

……

Chapter 35: Ideological Enlightenment, No One Dares to Fight!

The next day, around the same time, Chen Anxia went to the Zishui Go Club again.

This time, Chen Anxia plans to verify the specific method for players to trigger quests.

Yesterday, during his match against Fujii, Chen Anxia tried every method he could think of to verify the existence of the player.

While this confirms the player's existence, it doesn't reveal the specific method by which the player triggers the quest.

Therefore, Chen Anxia plans to break down the method he tried yesterday and use it in different games.

In this way, as long as a player accepts the quest, and as long as the voice in his mind rings, Chen Anxia can confirm the method.

However, Chen Anxia's luck seemed to have run out this time. He searched around the Zishui Go Club for a long time but could not find Uemura Tairyu.

This made Chen Anxia frown slightly.

Uemura Tairyu is a player that Chen Anxia has confirmed, and he is the best candidate for verification.

If Uemura Tairyu isn't there, Chen Anxia's verification will definitely encounter some trouble.

For example, Chen Anxia had no idea whether there were other players around him.

Of course, even without Uemura Tairyu, Chen Anxia's verification could still be carried out.

The verification process is fraught with uncertainty simply because it's unknown whether any players will even exist.

However, it doesn't matter if this verification fails.

Since Chen Anxia has plenty of time, he can wait until he meets Uemura Tairyu again to continue the verification.

With that thought, Chen Anxia walked into the Zishui Go Club.

While verification was Chen Anxia's main objective for this trip, playing chess was also one of his goals.

Chen Anxia discovered that after playing Go with Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, and with the principles of Go remaining in his mind, learning Go became much easier and smoother.

Just like this knowledge of Go, it is stored in one's mind and constantly emerges as one learns.

Chen Anxia knew that this phenomenon was a manifestation of his gradual mastery of the chess principles that remained in his mind.

Therefore, Chen Anxia also understands that only through continuous learning and practice can he more quickly grasp the chess principles that remain in his mind.

In Chen Anxia's heart, he still longed for the day when he could conquer the world of chess with his true chess skills and compete against top players from both worlds at the pinnacle of chess.

Just thinking about that dramatic scene made Chen Anxia's heart surge with excitement.

Meanwhile, inside the Zishui Go Club, Ichikawa Harumi noticed someone arriving and subconsciously looked over.

Upon seeing this, Harumi Ichikawa's pupils trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's you!?"

The one who caused Shigeaki Shige to lose her composure was naturally Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia stared blankly at Ichikawa Harumi, not understanding why she reacted this way.

Subconsciously, Chen Anxia wanted to find a mirror to see if there was anything wrong with her outfit today.

Harumi Ichikawa's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding chess players and spectators, who all turned their gazes toward her.

Just like Harumi Hoshino, those who recognized Chen Anxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing him.

The others who didn't recognize Chen Anxia were curious and puzzled, wondering why such a young boy could cause such a commotion, so they all asked him questions.

Subsequently, the previously quiet and serious atmosphere of the Go club was filled with exclamations and discussions.

"He's the kid who played Go with Fujii!"

"So it was him!!"

"I never expected that this kid, who looks about the same age as Teacher Xiao Liang, could play a game that Teacher Xiao Liang takes seriously. Amazing..."

"I really don't know what's wrong with this era. Just a while ago, a kid appeared who could beat Teacher Xiaoliang, and now another one like that has appeared..."

"It seems this is another Go prodigy who can rival Teacher Xiao Liang..."

"Not only Mr. Akira, I heard that even Master Touya takes his games very seriously..."

......

Chen Anxia only heard parts of the exclamations and murmurs around him.

But it was this part that gave Chen Anxia a general idea of ​​what had happened.

Chen Anxia really didn't expect that Akira Toya and Meijin Toya would pay special attention to his game.

Judging from their reactions, they are paying quite a bit of attention.

Of course, Chen Anxia knew that the game with Fujii was not played by him, but by Uemura Tairyu, who had accepted the mission.

At the same time, the insights into the principles of Go that I have gained should also come from Uemura Yasutaka.

Thinking this, Chen Anxia couldn't help but be moved. The image of Uemura Tairyu involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she murmured to herself, "Could it be that his Go skills have become so strong that even Meijin Touya has to take him seriously?"

"But he's still so young..."

Chen Anxia's thoughts stemmed from his lack of understanding of the players. He was unaware that players could request assistance from outside the game at any time, and even less aware that the actual players were top-tier chess players from another world.

After being moved, Chen Anxia suppressed her distracting thoughts and stopped paying attention to the noise around her.

Chen Anxia had not forgotten her purpose, nor did she want to waste any more time.

Chen Anxia looked at Shihe Harumi and asked, "Miss, I'd like to play chess. Could you arrange it for me?"

Harumi Ichikawa hadn't quite caught on yet, and instinctively replied, "You want to play Go? Do you want to give me a pointer game?"

Chen Anxia already knew the basics of Go, including this instructional game.

In Go, a "teaching game" refers to a game that has an educational purpose.

Generally speaking, instructional chess is played between teachers and students, not for the purpose of winning or losing, but to instruct and guide students.

Therefore, when teachers are giving instructions, they often reveal weaknesses to prompt students and encourage them to think independently.

Chen Anxia was well aware of his own situation and knew he would never offer guidance on a game.

Therefore, Chen Anxia directly shook his head and replied, "I don't know how to give guidance in chess."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia emphasized again, "I want to find a beginner of similar skill level to play against."

The moment Chen Anxia finished speaking, everyone around, from Shihe Qingmei to the people who had noticed her, looked at her with a strange expression.

Their eyes seemed to say, 'Are you kidding me? You think you're a newbie?'

Chen Anxia felt helpless, sensing that the scene from the Go club at the private Haiwang Elementary School was about to repeat itself.

As expected, afterwards, the people in the Go club said they could play Go with Chen Anxia, ​​but only on the condition that they play a game of instruction.
